lloris XYeldon did an excellent job as Marcia, the vamp from New York. Anyone who saw the play will remember the way she beguiled Donald Sargent and Denny Pole, and her failure to en- chant Harry Welch.

Page 22--THE RECORD for 1952 Cast and Stage Crew of Strictly Formal enjoying informal laugh. nr enior From the moment the audience stepped into the school building on the evenings of the fif- teenth and sixteenth of November, they realized that they were in for a night that was ef as the title of the Senior Play proclaimed - strictly formal. At the door they were met by one of three tuxedo-clad ticket-takers, Bob Ross, Arthur Haynes, or Charles Spencer. They were presented programs in the style of formal invitations and led to their seats by usherettes --- Ruth Dexter, Doris LaMere, Velma Cassidy, Elizabeth Towle, and Virginia Bixby --- all of whom were dressed in colorful formal evening gowns. And from the moment the curtain went up, the audience acknowledged that they were being treated to an evening that was strictly hilarious as well. The three-act play, Strictly Formal, concerns the adventures and misadventures of two teen- age girls, Jane Cutler and her friend Sally, played respectively f and professionally - by Jean wa, Primmer and Doria Bilodeau. The two girls are striving desperately to obtain dates for the grad- uation dance. The appearance of Doria's vam- pish cousin, in the personage of Doris Weldon. makes things worse, but all is finally straightened out by Jeans cousin, Cindy tSally Faddenj. Dorothy Wheatley, as Agnes the maid, proved to be quite the comedienne. Her Warning to Elroy tHarry Welchj that the Cutler home was, for him, Hone big booby-trap,' nearly brought down the house. james Budd, as Andrew Cutler, jane's father. was very realistic as he stormed around, raving about his prize peonies. The shot-putting scene, with Harry Welch as Elroy and Sally Fadden as Cindy, was a high spot in the play. Cindy was trying to show Elroy the best way to put the shot. The way she told him off, all in one breath, was enough to leave even the audience panting.
