JUNIOR PLAY Plane Crazy—that was the Junior Class play pre- sented April '43, under the direction of Miss Jean Williams. It was a rip roarin' three-act comedy, packed with thrills, spills, fights, and fun. Besides all that, the play was a financial success. SENIOR PLAY Brother Goose, the Senior Class Play, was presented December 3, 1943, to a large audience. The play centered around the troubles of Jeff Adams (Kenny Waldroff), a young architect trying to raise his younger brother and sisters. His brood consisted of Carol, Wes, and Hyacinth. Carol (Beverly Shorb) was an adolescent fifteen, and concerned with numerous contests. Wes (Charles Snyder) faith- fully pursued his one hobby, girls. Eve, Wes's current interest, a seventeen-year-old Southern girl was played by Nina Proffitt. ''Hy'' (Marjorie Chandler), at ten, loved football as much as she hated to do the dishes. Helen (Laura Lee McLain) was the latest in the long line of housekeepers in the Adams' home. Sarah, the Negro maid, was portrayed by Naomi Creasman. Peggy (Mary Wagner) came to the house selling hosiery and stayed to marry Jeff. She had for competition Lenore (Jacqueline Wiese), a young, stunning, affected and insincere person. Mrs. Trimmer (Betty Lou Erbe) settled the financial difficulties of Jeff's business while David Nelson as the fighting mad truck driver almost unsettled everything. Margaret McLean, business manager, and Reva Fulp, script girl, contributed directly to the success of the play. The play was directed by Miss Clara Hagglund.
