lf ffl -Q..-1 L Senior Play -.I Yager Albee Mr. Dayton Neff Zalacca Murnan Minster Dornbrock Keenan Toal .leary Lapp Bennett Ward Gentner Lapp Spence Dunn Spry GROWING PAlNS Who can ever forget the play Growing Pains by Aurania Rouverol. presented by the Senior Class to a capacity house on the nights of March 1 and 2? The performance was a great, success in many ways. Under the skillful direction of Mr. Warren Dayton, a large cast brought before the eyes of the audience an example of the age of adolescence, a period of ups and downs. The McIntyre family consists of four: the Pro- fessor, the mother, and the two children, Terry and George. Terry, the daughter, is at the age when she feels that she must grow up, since the boys will no longer let her be a tom-boy and play with them. George, her broth- er, although still young, tries to appear older and more sophisticated and fails comically. Their father and moth- er experience many surprises as well as worries, espec- ially at a party of neighborhood boys and girls held at the McIntyre house. Florence Dunn as Terry made a charming daughter just growing up, and Francis Gentner as George was the typical brother. Professor Mclntyre, played by Robert Spence with excellent characterization, was a droll, slow, O-AT-KAN easy-going college professor. Opposite him Elsa Lapp as the mother was very capable, especially in several semi- hysterical scenes. Richard Spry played Brian, the boy sweetheart of Terry, bestowing Hershey bars generously on the object of his affections. Florence Ward as the coquettish Prudence Darling caused many heart breaks. A comic strip was introduced when Eula Toal as Elsie, the gawky wall-flower appeared dancing all over George's feet. George was little more skillful at manoeuvering his pedal extremities. Charles Felt as Dutch, Gailord Min- ster as the stuttering Omar, Francis Zalacca as Hal, and Jack Jeary as Pete, created much amusement as neigh- borhood boys. Terry's girl friends, Jane, Miriam, and Patty, played by Ardys Dornbrock, Virginia Bennett and Jeanette Albee respectively, made a lovely showing in their formal evening gowns. Mary Mangefrida took the part of Sophie, the maid, while Emmett Keenan was the blustering Cop. A senior play always means much work, and yet after the production is past, it affords one of the happiest mem- ories of high school life. l' rx 1: is 'll w I-1 N 'r Y - N1 T
