HOLD EVERYTHING, the play given by the class of 1941 in their Junior year, was an ultra-modern comedy--a story of 1n- trigue and romance. A couple of young moderns decided they disliked each other even though they had never met. In their endeavor to run away they stop at the same tourist home. Un- der fictitious names they fall ln love. When things begin to go smoothly they become embroiled with bank robbers. The robbers plan to trade cars with a group of aspiring actresses who believe they are on their way to stardom. Suddenly every one finds himself in hot water with the kettle boiling over with humor. Events moved toward a happy ending. The pro- duction was under the supervision of Mlss Hilton.
