Mid-Term Play Meet Me ln St, Louis, written by Solly Benson ond dromatized by Christopher Sergel, was presented in the high school ouditorium on November l2 and l3. Mr. Rod Embry, who chose Susie Ruffing as his student assistant, directed the three-oct comedy, ond the high school string en- semble, conducted by Pete J. Corr, played melodies popular in l904, Action in the ploy centered about the hectic life of an averoge Americon family at the time of the World's Fair, The plot concerned the wiles of two teenage girls who, with the help of two younger sisters, tried to keep the family from moving to New York ond breaking up their budding romances, Their plans were hindered by a fussy old neighbor, o blustering boss, a stuff-shirted foreman, and a beautiful newcomer from the East, Since the play wos a period one, cost and committees worked especially hord to moke the costumes, hoir styles, and props as outhentic as possible, Even the stage busi- ness was altered to correspond to the prim behavior of the l900's, When the curtoin opened to the strains of the Meet Me ln St. Louis overture, the cast knew that they had to lose their stoge fright and remember only their lines and their octions, To every- one's amazement, no girl broke her leg from tripping on her long skirt and no boy strangled from too tight a collar, ond to everyone's delight, the play was proised as one of the funniest comedies ever produced, Upper Lett: Mr Emory takes time out trom directing to put tinishing touches on 'Fatherj Sheryl Vinyord h l ith J A Hat rt.
