Junior Play “Loose Ankles, a farce-comedy in three acts, was presented by the Junior Class on May 10, and was a huge success. The very interesting plot was as follows: Two ladies who are not as young as they once were engage a couple of young fellows who can dance well to take them around town. Living in the cheap flat with these fellows is a third who is also poor but has scruples. He is finally secured as escort for the older woman’s neice, and promptly falls head-over-heels in love with her. It develops that if the niece, Ann, marries before a certain time she will inherit a fortune. Her aunts are planning to marry her to Linton Hawkins, who has a rather unsavory reputation. But the hero. Gill Barry, is the girl’s choice, and his friends back him up: so in the end he gets the girl, and she thereby falls heir to the fortune. THE CAST Ann Harper, Alice Morrow.
