SENIOR PLAY June Mad,” a comedy in three acts, was presented by the Senior Class and proved to be an outstanding success in all ways. The plot centers about Penelope Wood who at fifteen feels she is truly in love, and she proceeds to map out many situations to get her man, all of which have exactly the opposite result. Directed by Miss Merwin of the faculty, and aided by work of Norman Murphy as stage manager, and with the cast below, the play was one of the best in quite a few years. Penelope Wood (Doris Dwy)—her love was the greatest thing in the world. Chuck Harris (Charles Cook)—he proved to lie the winner in the end. Mrs. Wood (Esther Osborne)—the mother of Penny who attempted to steer her out of continual trouble. Dr. Wood (Alan Howland)—Penny’s father who never takes Penny seriously enough to suit her. G. Melvin Roberts (Victor Hasler)—his attention centers around Julie Harris but he doesn’t receive any aid from Penny. Julie Harris (Ann Schooner)—her time was well taken up at all times by her two suitors although in the end she makes her choice. Roger Van Vleck (Fred Tetro)—his smoothness and way with the women has Penny in raptures and Melvin in fits. Milly Lou (Emma Petersen)—her unwanted presence and attention nearly exasperates Melvin. Effie (Sadie Cohen)—the maid of the house. Elmer Tuttle (Theodore Nicholas)—the general handyman of the house and F.ffie’s bashful beau. Mr. Harris (Edward Dodd)—Chuck’s father who finally realizes that boys can have problems of their own. Ralph Wentworth (Charles Chapin)—a guest at the lawn party. Shirley Wentworth (Clara Dwy)—another euest and sister of Ralph.
