ijx L ll, 52 l if The Senior Pla Che Happy Days A comedy by Claude-Andre Puget CHARACTERS Francine-young, more serious than the others ' Barbara Peck sisters Marianne-less sedate, in love with Oliver if and Constance Douglas Bernard-fretful and temperamental, loves brother Pgrngtte Leon Deraps Pernette-the youngest, sensitive and attractive Q Mary Hill sister Oliver-lordly and sophisticated Q and Robert Smith g brother Michael-handsome, daring, and charming Harold Berglund According to tradition, each year the Senior Class delves into the realm of the theatre in order to try its luck in the make-believe world and to display some of its remarkable hidden talents. The class of '42 selected for its production The Happy Days, a delight- ful French comedy, which was concerned with the love problems and complexi- ties of youth. The scene of action is a house on an island in the St. Lawrence River where circumstances have isolated five young cousins, three of whom are girls. Mari- anne is very much in love with Oliver, a rather cynical fellow, who apparently takes her affections for granted. In desperation, Marianne and Pernette invent a rival-tall, handsome, dashing--a French version of Rhett Butler. As if by fate, he is transformed to life in the person of Michael, an aviator, who has been forced down on the island. He ruffles the peaceful serenity of the island, capti- vating all three girls by his charm. All three fall in love with him, but Michael, in his worldly manner, takes them in his stride. After-tactfully maneuvering a suitable love scene with each, he takes his leave, satisfied that happiness has been restored to the island refuge. -MARJORIE JOHNSON K .c trgtsiiiie'
