SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior Class presented the play There'll Come a Day, on April ZZ, the story is as follows: Make way for the Kelton family of Rainbow Falls! They've joined in the big push, and here they are located in sunny California, very much intent upon crashing the movies. And do they crash them? The crash they make is the next thing to the one heard 'round the world. It may not get them right into pictures, but it gets the audience into a laughing mood--and right away. Because this Kelton farnily is one family bent on succeeding. There' Papa Kelton--he's employed as a milkman while awaiting his big break--but so far, it's been only milk bottles! And there's Mamma Kelton--an aspiring playwright with ideas, ambition, and three effervescent daugh- ters who, with their friends, proceed to keep the whole place in a turmoil all the time. No wonder Mamma's plays haven't broken any records on Broadway. No won- der Mamm's plays have never even BEEN on Broadway--what with adolescents ex- ploding all over the place every time she starts to concenentrate. And there's Beatrice--daughter Beatrice--who was cut out for the movies. But apparently cut out wrong--she can't even get in a mob scene for a Bugs Bu.nny picture. And there's Lindy--the little one of the family--who finallys succeeds--succeeds in getting the whole farnily practically booted out of their tired apartrnent fthe last in townj and into a tent. There's the eledest daughter, Julie, the only really sensible one of the whole crop. And there're all of the neighbors, who apparently use the Kelton domicile as the hub of this fair city and charge in and out like nobody's business. 48
