 unio'i Pia V On Fridoy evening, March 23, the junior class presented a three act comedy entitled One Mad Night. The action of the entire play took place in One Mad Night' and what a crazy night it was! Don Cutter, a playwright, accompanied by Wing, his proverb-quoting Chinese valet, goes to the Cutter mansion, a lonely house in the hills, to complete his latest play in peace and quiet. The house has been deserted for years, a series of mysterious murders having given it the reputation of being haunted. Imagine Don's astonishment when he finds the house tenanted by a number of very strange people, including John Alden, Priscilla, Mr. Hyde, and Lady MacBeth. They are lunatics under the care of Dr. Bunn, whose home nearby has burned down. Assisting the doctor is Mrs. Kluck, a nurse, and also in conspiracy with the nurse and doctor is Artemus Burke, a lawyer. Unknown to Don the lunatics are really quite harmless. Among the inmates is Lucille, a beautiful girl with an amazing story about an inheritance of three million dollars. Don is just about ready to ride to her rescue when his fiancee and her mother put in an appearance with their colored maid, Depression. From this point everything happens including the admittance of Danny Silletto, an actor posing as a murderer, all of which makes the play exciting and hilarious. Mrs. Ralph Prouty, Jr. directed the following cast in their roles: Don Cutter Bill Alves Wing Roy Whipple Priscilla Ruth DeHeck Lady MacBeth Stella Lezak John Alden Peter Gress Mr. Hyde Merritt Nielsen Dr. Bunn Dick Craig Lucille Marcy Frances Hudson Mrs. Kluck Irene Nichols Gertrude Finch Joyce Schmidt Mrs. Finch Gloria Toth Depression Lillian Busch Artemus Burke Kenneth Brockway Danny Silletto Steve Ruzick Having a play sponsored by the Junior Class is something new at M. M. H. S. and we hope that the classes to follow will carry on this new activity. sixteen
