SENIOR PLAY The Senior Ploy which was presented on May 1 Oand 11 proved to be a great success. Appropriately entitled, Laughing Gas, it was a rip-snorting, insanely merry farce crammed with laughs, thrills and intriguing mystery, all moving at a fast pace. The story concerned Penny and Vivian Whitman, who decide to spend their summer vacation in New York and bring along their Aunt Amy as chaperon. In Greenwich Village they find a furnished apartment (a miracle at present) and immediately become involved in one of the most fantastically funny plots ever devised. This all happens in one exciting night. In the house they meet Mrs. Merlino, the Italian landlady; Olga, a Swedish maid; Chris Wynn, a mystery story writer, Paul Van Doren, a radio actor; Flavia, a surrealist poet; Kitty Doe, a Broadway chorus girl and her boy friend Rosie the local cop who dislikes Judge Haley. Hardly any of these people were what they were supposed to be. Some of them, and you were never quite sure who, were members of a notorious gang of jewel thieves who hove stolen the famous Bauer necklace and hidden it in the girl's apartment. After much fast-moving action the mystery is solved and Rosie and Kitty are married at the stroke of midnight. We regret that due to the late production date it was im- possible for us to ascertain who the cast would be in time for our deadline. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Holmes.
