Montgomery, K. Moyer On November 50, l944, the junior class, under the direction of Mrs. Irene Cramer, gave the comedy play, UThe Poor Fishn, written by Wilbur Braun. Sylvester Fish is a superstitious young man. On the morning of his wedding to Francine Payton he suddenly realized that it was Friday the thirteenth, so he sent his prospective bride a note telling her to wait until the next day. Then he and his best man, Dr. Aubery Nutt, went to a mountain home, which his uncle had given him, to prepare it for his honey-moon. When he got there he found that a Miss Arlington had rented it from a real estate agent, and was using it as a rest cure sanatarium. Sylvester tells Miss Arlington that the house belongs to him. In a little while Sue Bickford comes and claims that she owns the house. Margaret Matters, a girl who is suffering from a nervous disorder, says that she is Sylvester's bride to be. Francine hears this and won't speak to Sylvester. He then tries to get Francine to understand but about the time he had convinced her,a woman who claims to be Mrs. Sylvester Fish, is hurt in a car wreck near P o the home. Eventually everything is explained by Sue Bickford who cli- matically becomes Sylvester's bride rather than Francine. The cast of the play follows: Florence Arlington . .Carol Henry Ella Shayne. .
