Junior Class Paq directed by Mrs. Viva Roberts NEverything Happens to Usn was the play presented by the junior class December 2. The title described the situations in the Ross family perfectly as the play progressed.. i Members of the Ross family were very lively and interesting char acters. Mrs. Ross was the kind who always tried to nlive up to the Jonesesn.Mr. Ross was a hard working chemist who was experimenting with garbage to make an inexpensive hog food. Rhett, their oldest of three sons, was going East to marry the daughter of a multi- millionaire. Ronald,an embryonic genius, with a penchant for writ- ing bad jokes, and Jay, whose forte was the constant practice of mental telepathy, were the two younger sons. Other characters connected with the family's life successfully muddled things. PLAY CAST John Arthur Ross, Father --------------- Richard Karr Kitty Ross, Mother ----------------------.
