Professor's three fiancees create chaos VICKY RANDOLPH (I. Gilmer) pleads for Pro- fessor Keats’ (K. McCormack) forgiveness due to her unruly classroom conduct. Grandpa Perry (D. Pittman) expresses doubt as to her sincerity. “SHE’S FAINTED!” exclaim the onlookers as Bog- gins (J. Schrader) and Butcher Boy (D. Weaver) carry Tootsie (D. Weigel) from the room. Oniockers are S. Klein, §. Weldy, S. Yoder, and D. Pittman. On April 21 and 22, 1961, the Class of ’62 presented “Professor, How Could You!” The plot revolves around Professor Keats Perry and a student of his, Vicky Randolph. Keats is offered the job of being the new Dean of the college, but a requirement is that he be married. Vicky Randolph and John Appleby, a friend of Keats, plan how they might find Keats a wife. They find three candidates for Keats—Priscilla, Tootsie, and Valarie. Grandpa Perry has his own ideas about selecting a wife for his grandson. Grandpa, pretending he is Keats, phones each girl and asks her to elope with him. The girls show up at the same place and find out Keats does not want to marry any of them. At the end, Priscilla marries John; Tootsie marries Boggins, the Perrys’ butler; and Val- arie marries a college fellow. Keats, too, finally makes a choice and marries Vicky. JOHN APPLEBY, posing as Keats’ wife, bribes four youngsters to act as Keats’ children. Shown are D. Schmeltz, B. Butge, K. McCormack, D. Hor- ein, R. Ewing, D. Hunsberger, and (rear) D. Weaver. 7
