METIER for 1940 The Gang's All Here Page 29 The play presented by the Senior Class was one of extreme comedy—fun that was wholesome and entertaining and made one not only laugh outwardly but inwardly as well. The convention scene of The Gang’s All Here ’ was complicated by the wives following their husbands, contrary to the age-old tradition of husbands following their wives. The girls decided to have a convention to end conventions and the appearance of the whole gang” made a lively state of affairs. Miss Welker and Mrs. Brandts directed the play and its success was due to their efforts.
