The Juniors of '49-'50 selected as their class play, The Adorable Imp. Not only was it a rousing success, but it was considered one of the best in recent years. The class garnered 593.00 on the play. Under the direction of Mr. Rule, our sponsor, all of us had a wonderful time in producing it. Following is the cast: I-lortense Hostetter , Betty Lou Gordon . . Mrs. Abby Simpkins Brian Barklay ..... Malvina Barklay . . . Pamela Gordon .... Clint Purdy ........ Imogene Van Ryndon Winston Pickrell . . . Dilworth Pickrell .... . . . Ross Waldron ...... Susanne Huffer Betty New Thelma Maish Bob Crenshaw Jeanette Evans Jo W atkins Jim Ashley Mary Kingery Raymond Burns Ted Bowen Wayne Patchett We received many compliments on our play, but it was only through the aid of many others that it proved to be a success. Our furniture was made possible for us by the Coulter-Smock and Co. of Frankfort, Indiana. To show our appreciation to Mr. Rule, we presented him with an 58.00 certificate to Laverty's store in Frankfort. I Also, to show our appreciation to another person who helped us very much on the play during many of our English periods, we presented Mrs. Ray, our English teacher, with a strand of pearls. Along with all the other happy times we had during school, we will always treasure the memories of that play. The comical things that happened, such as the tug 'o war, the prowling snowman and the horrible soup served by Maggie O'Cork, the Irish cook. Do you remember dumb Hortense, the maid? The impish ways of the brat, Betty Lou? The nasal twang of the butler, Brian Barklay? Imogene's cat phobia? Winston's gouty foot? Dilworth's dispepsia and C1int's devilish tricks? All of us seemed to learn our parts in quick time andenjoyed giving a good comedy by Jay Tobias. I am sure we will always remember the nights of April 6th and 7th of the year 1950. 46
