Cfte Cfteatre auilD OF The Senior Class Presents “The Charm School” BY Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton The Senior Class was unusually successful in giving the three-aet comedy, “The Charm School”, at the high school auditorium, March 14. It is impossi- ble to decide who starred, since each member of the cast handled his part partic- ularly well. The scene of the play is laid in New York. The first act takes place at evening in a New York boarding house. Austin Bevans is informed by Homer Johns that he has inherited a girls’ boarding school. The former decides to run it according to his own ideas and to teach the girls charm. He and his friends and Mr. Johns go to the school. The main part of the play centers around Be- vans’ attempts to teach the girls charm and the consequences of his methods. Cast of Characters Austin Bevans Ed Steidtman A motor dealer who inherits a girls’ school. David MacKenzie Sam Dunlap A Law student who disapproves of Bevans’ ideas about education. George Boyd Charlie Dillion An expert accountant who is willing to cooperate with Bevans. Jim Simpkins Elbert Agnor Tim Simpkins Jim Polk Who toil not. Homer Johns Goodloe Tinsley The Guardian of Elise Challoner Marie Donald President of the Senior Class of Bevans’ School Miss Hays Frances Campbell Manager of the School Miss Curtis Bernardino Fox Assistant Manager of the School Sally Boyd Martha Moore Who is George Boyd’s Sister The young ladies of the school were Medora Ford, Katharine Lackey, Jean Blain, Carrie Johnson, Virginia Thomas, and Ruth Cummings.
