Junior Class Play cast and crew. A shocking pink scat. CONTRASTING COMEDIES FROM '70 G '71 This year's Senior Class Play was a fantasy, Mrs. Mc- Thing, about a small boy named Howie (Bill Sim- mons) who ran away from home and his rich over-pro- tective mother Mrs. Larue (Susie Bailey), to a pool hall, where he tried to join forces with a terrible gang. As soon as Howie left, Mrs. Me Thing (Dcbby Denney), a local witch, mad at Mrs. Larue's insulting her daughter, Mimi (Linda Thompson), replaced him with a well-mannered stick boy (Bill Laipple), who totally resembled Howie. Back at the pool hall, Howie finally joined forces with the gang led by Poison Eddie Schellenbach (Rick Shacklctt), Dirty Joe McGinnis (Brad Raines), and Stinker (Dennis Brumm), but his mother comes in search of him and she is re- placed by a stick woman who totally resembled the first Mrs. Larue. The remainder of the play involved the trials and tribulations of the Larue family trying to regain possession of their own home. The Class of '71 this year presented the play Paint the Town Pink. It was a comedy involving all the touchy situations when Mr. Clark, played by Kyle DcVore, gave the students permission to have a Stu- dent Day when the teachers changed places with the pupils. Mrs. Lawton, a school board member played by Chris Scherer, was much opposed to the idea and attempted to cause all manner of trouble. The only sensible person was the real school secretary, Sally Rcnwick (Sheila Davey). The student secretary, Christy Smith (Judy Herrill) got the day off to a poor Protest at student teacher meeting. start by having the conference room painted shocking pink instead of gray. The principal for the day, Rem Tyler (Norm Kricr) got in trouble by taking a No Parking sign. The PTA finally came to the defense of the students even to quieting Mrs. Lawton. Rose Ryan, a reporter, was played by Sherry Helphrey. Mr. Kessler, the radio executive was played by Jerry McKinnon. Winnie Page, the Weather Girl was played by Denise Dejaynes. 9
