18 THE CHRONICLE JUNIOR PLAY On November 17 and 18, the Junior Class successfully staged the play, The Middle Years. Frances Nearing as Deborah Fairlee, the mother of Patricia and Thomas, captivated the audience with her dignified and commanding manner. Ameil Brunye as Mr. Fairlee made an ideal husband and father. Dorothy Bahner as Patricia and John Griffin as Thomas were certainly typical modern children and are to be commended for their fine acting. Esther Keer as Stella, the maid, and John Talbot as Joe Higgins, Stella’s lover, provided much laughter throughout the play, their Irish dialect leaving nothing to be desired. Margaret Dalton, a friend of the Fairlees, played by Barbara Read, kept the audience wondering what she would do next. Horace Underhill portrayed by George Backes was a perfect gentleman breaking all the ladies’ hearts. John Goff as Jim Olmstead, the young lover of Patricia Fairlee, kept the audience guessing how he would capture the heart of the pretty but quick-tempered Patricia. Barbara North, Margaret Dalton’s maid, and Wesley Gadd, the ticket agent, did their parts well. All who helped make this presentation a success are to be congratulated.
