SENIOR PLAY In November, 1955, the senior class of Mclndoes Academy, under the direction of Mr. Bicknell, presented the three-act play, USHY GUY. We all worked hard on it and had a lot of fun. The cast of characters was as follows: Fred Hastings . Yaaaaeaat,,a .e...............,.ee,,,aaeeaattt..,...,...e..,...ee,t. Cora Hastings , .... . Gilbert Hastings Nancy Graham ee,ee,e Larry Madison ee,t,i, Julie Tucker ., Gloria Patterson e,ee,e Melinda Whipple Lois Corwin sss,,, Mr. Danbury ,,,,,, Bill Sterling ..,,. STORY OF THE PLAY Maurice Slayton Donna Goss Alton Maxwell Ann Pollard John Crown .. Norene Blake Edith Hammond . Camille Sicard Norene Lang John Gilmour Royce Pinard When Fred Hastings spends more money than his parents believe he is earning, when his friend, Larry Madison, attemps to get his chum out of hot water, and when an eccentric little lady of eighty decides to play football, any attempt at trying to preserve the sanity of other casual observers becomes futile. Fred's mother, Cora, is planning a birthday party for Fred's girl, Nancy, but when two strangers beautifully feminine, appear, in the persons of Gloria Patterson and Lois Corwin, the plot thickens. Fred is doomed, his job as Model for Glamour Girl Cosmetics is about to be revealed. But leave everything to Larry, Larry insists. Gil- bert Hastings, Fred's father, is furious when he learns of Fredls modeling job. Nancy isn't sure how she feels about it, julie Tuckerls chief concern is being able to keep the puppy Larry has bought for her on the installment plan. And thatls when Me- linda Whipple, that wiry bundle of energy, eighty years strong, appears. The birthday party? It turns out to be something slightly less than an open- house affair, with a Mr. Danbury looking for local television talent, Bill Sterling looking for his girl, and Melinda Whipple looking for enough space in which to make a touchdown in football. DON'T BE LAZY Don't be lazy, use your head. D'sP work harder, get A's instead. Drop that comic, turn off TV. Do your homework, Wiser be. Get with it, so elders will say, This younger generation is real hep today. There is nothing so gay at night As a campfire burning bright, While round it sit the hunters gay, Waiting for the dawn of dayg With its flames reaching to the sky, And wild game hovering near by. But soon there is not even a shout, For sleep has knocked the hunters out. 33
