Senior Play The Senior Class presented their traditional class play in the high school auditorium on May 5. They chose “The Patsy,” a three-act comedy by Barry Connors, which saw its first success on Broadway. Miss Byrne directed the play. “ 1 he Patsy” concerns the affairs of the Harrington family, typical middle-class Americans. Pop Harrington, who has an understanding heart and peddles groceries for a living, was ably played by Freddie Hilgert. His nagging and socially-ambitious wife was Rosemary Speckeen. Jean Wilson took the role of Grace, the older daughter, and Glen Roysdon that of her suitor. Billy Caldwell. An outstanding performance was given by Marjorie Dix as Patricia Harrington, the “patsy” who is blamed whenever anything goes wrong. Her problem is how to win Tony Anderson, Art Albright, away from Grace. As Patricia says, “When a girl isn’t as beautiful as her big sister - - - well, you’ve got to do something about it.” What she does about it provides decidedly amusing entertainment. T wenty-four
