JM , ,. s jx. ,- -4 SENICR PLAY The Senior Class presented the play, Toby Doodle Dandy, April 7th, in the high school gymnasium. The play, a three-act comedy, told of the happenings in the Mat' thew's home when they hired new servants. Toby, a small town boy, who believed he was making good in a big way, applied for the job of handy man. The housekeeper and the supposedly F.B.I. man turned to be spies and were trapped by Toby and Lyle Granger, pretty young Jerry Mat' thew's husband. The antics of Toby and the hard hearing maid brought many laughs from the audience. The play was coached by Mr. Clodfelter. Robert Rogers ......... ......
