Although it is set in the 189O's, its theme of women's rights is relevant today. Ex-Senator, William Cromwell lives happily in his Nob Hill mansion with his wife Julia, daughter Addie, and her husband Gifford and their children Lillian and Nicky. l l l l l NJ

Some of us traveled to the Museum of Science in Boston in the eighth grade and, yes, that is Monte with the Coke bottle. Miss Oliver and Mr. Anderson's stage talent brought out the hams in the play Why Teachers Go Nuts and with that cast of thousands Qactually fifteenj it's no won- der the teachers go nuts! Running through dances here and there, the eighth grade Snoopy Dance and var- ious other successes and failures throughout junior high and high school, our turn appeared to put on the Junior Christmas Dance. After the general hoopla of disorganization, the class of '71 finally unveiled On a December Night . . . Amid the spring thaw and doubtful minds, the class once again dug themselves out of the snow and created the Junior Bizarre, complete with that controversial piano smash. And we have Mr. R. Barry Genzlinger to thank for his mind stirring. Now we are Seniors! vjfik i,ff':r'- , la to L V ls a o 4 71 0 C' ii H U ,- i 0 o .D r, J r li' i l Y--if ME f X x X x iii ,E gi f X' Q'- ll tl ox.

CIBEDPELE IDS The peace is broken when young Senator Mat Crom- well comes home for reelection with Clarissa Blynn - a suffragette leader - as his WIFE! Everyone in the house is against change in women's status - even Ling, the cook. The Senator bellows more than usual. Lillian's boy- friend, Vince, is Uunalterably opposed. Addie is glad to be dominated by Gifford. Julia is patient. Then the personage of Tillie Sparker, straight from the Barbary Coast informs Addie where much of the money for her anti-suffrage group comes from and war is de- clared. lt is every woman from Julia to Beulah, the maid, against the men. As the last scene closes, it appears the weaker sex has won. Tillie and friends give Clarissa the proof she needed - a list of who really owned the red light district! The yellow ribbons have tied the Senator up and he is now rather humble. Walnuts? The entire cast extends their gratitude to Lanea Wit- kus, assistant director, the crew that worked behind the scenes, and especially to The Strangest Bedfellow, Charles H. Massey, director and designer, for making the play a huge success. -..y . l i THE CAST: Mrs. Worley - Nadine Taylor: Mayor Tibbets - Gary Bagleyf Addie Cromwell Hampton - Ann Leone, Mrs. Tillie Sparker Connie Mrs. Gimble - Joanne Mullen, Vincent Pemberton Ill - Bruce Pariseau: Pouliosg Nicky Hampton - Roger Edezfiuby - Beverly Tellor Birdie Lillian Hampton - Susan Nordholmc Sen- William cl'0mWell - MOFHG Harriet Winter, Opal - Tina Tarullo, Zita - Liz Phillips Ling Robert Perry: Julia Cromwell - Ethel Krauss: Matthew Cromwell - Steve Edes, Guimondg Beulah .- qfndy Freeman Clarissa Blynn Cromwell - Sharon Rego, Gifford Hampton - Kim StCyr2
