Juniors-Seniors “Asked Any Girl The Juniors and Seniors combined their talents to stage the final 1975- 1976 school year play, “Ask Any Girl”. The play centered around a small town girl, Meg Wheeler, played by Sheree Sarko, who moves to New York in hopes of finding a good job and an eligible bachelor. After arriving at the girls’ hotel, where she was to stay, the other girls told her her ambi- tions were hopeless. Ignoring their comments, she instantly found a job working for Doughton Brothers and proceeded to date Miles Doughton, Mike Cloyd, a man most popular with the ladies. She consulted Evan Doughton, James Waters, for a plan to help her win Miles ' love. Motivation research became their strategy. After combining the most desirable traits of each of his twelve other sweethearts, she com- pleted her goal. Miles asked for her hand in marriage.
