'i 'Shea Om' of tba Boy Cast: Henry Curtis, Max Hiserg jim Hayes, john Priceg Granger Meade, Allen Griffith, Albert Ashe, Leonard Smithg Briggs, Gerald Keller, Cora Kane, Sandra Schuller, Phyllis, Donna Burchardg Nancy, Betty Carnes, Jean, Carol Clements, Lydia Richards, jo Ann Sutton, Henrietta Curtis, Carol Reffg Rose, Phyllis Thornburg, and the mixed chorus. Henry Curtis, a good-looking and personable chap of twenty-five, upon leaving college, has chosen the career of detective. His roommate at college is Jim Hayes, who takes Henry to a party given by pretty Cora Kane, a twenty- one year old orphaned heiress. Cora is widely-known among her friends for her aversion to matrimony, principal- ly because she fears that most of the boys who seek her hand in marriage are thinking of her as a good invest- ment. Most of them do think of her as an alluring dollar-sign. This applies especially to Granger Meade, a for- tune hunter of the deepest dye. During the party, several guests, as well as Cora, are relieved of some of their jewels and other valuables. It is dif- ficult to find the thief. Henry offers to solve the mystery. He begins by persuading Cora to invite his dear old Aunt Henrietta for a visit, selling Cora the idea that she would be great company because the old dear is such good fun, just one of the boys . Henrietta is in Europe and has given Henry the key to her apartment, so Henry has access to his aunt's clothes, which he uses to disguise as Aunt Henrietta . He is brought by jim Hayes to visit Cora, who falls in love with the peppy old lady. All of Cora's friends simply adore Aunt Henrietta, who pretends to be slightly deaf. She overhears many things she is not supposed to. and slowly the pieces of the robbery puzzle begins to assemble. The fun is doubled when the real Aunt Henrietta arrives unexpectedly from Europe and is brought to Cora's by her Aunt Lydia. By this time, Henry has all the evidence to convict the thief, who is the one least suspected. Henry more than succeeds in breaking down Cora's defense against marriage.

jmzior Class Presents Tufixteen'l The scene takes place in Rodney Wells, jr's. CGer- ald Kellersy bedroom. Rodney's dead earnestness about anything he undertakes gets him into many scrapes. At sixteen he is serious, confused, and thor- ougly likeable. He has suddenly discovered muscles, girls, and prestige, and the combination has him confused. He is convinced that large biceps and notes delivered the hard way are necessary to win the heart of Doris Mansfield 1Sally Risingerl, a pretty, sixteen-year-old blond, who is conscious of her feminine charms. He hits his first snag when his best friend, Pete Thompson 4Harry Watersj, accidentally delivers a note to Gwendolyn Todd, 1Sandra Schullerl, instead of Doris. Gwen rushes in at a most inopportune moment to tell Rod how happy she is to get the note. On the most important night in Rods life, the eve of Doris's party, he discovers that his sister Elizabeth 1Neva jean Morrisl, has raided his clothes closet. Wfith Pete's assistance he cleans out his fathers closet to find something to wear. When they depart through Rodneys bedroom window, Mr. Wells tBob Batesl, candidate for mayor, is left with only a pair of old golf knickers and a white coat to wear to an urgent banquet the night before the election. The results sound disastrous, and for a while Rodney considers the peace and quiet of a ranch out West, that is, until Pete delivers the evening paper and Gwendolyn arrives with a piece of pie.
