 The Little Dog Laughed The members of the senior class, under the able direction of Miss Carol Schuster, presented The Little Dog Laughed on Friday, November 16, at the Harristown Grade School. This three-act farce comedy centered around the psychoanalysis of the members of the Huntington family by their daughter, Laurie. Laurie was a college sophomore, home for the summer, who was experi- encing that certain elation which comes with prying into people's minds. Her parents, Sid and Martha, and her brother, Wally (whose only problem was his one-and-only, Joan Wood), all fell unfortunate and unsuspecting victims to her analysis. When Wally discovered, by chance, Laurie's professional notes, Assets and Liabilities of the Huntingtons, the family was thrown into a mad rage, revenge being their only thought. To get even with Laurie, her family plotted to embarrass her when she came home from a date with Mark Bradford. Mark was a fellow college student, and he and Laurie had only recently taken an interest in each other. By ridiculing all of her professional methods, such as work association tests,” Ink Blot Tests,” and finally a “purge dance, they succeeded in driving Mark away and unintentionally caused Laurie to run away from home. To all this confusion was added the hilarious love affair of Miss Gustavesky, the Huntington maid, with Mr. Honeywell, a bird fancier. A satire of psy- chology testing was also enacted during the tea party scene when five catty matrons, friends of Martha’s had their inner personalities exposed to them through Laurie’s Zombrowski Ink Blot Test.” All during the play, an arch-rivalry between Sid and Ted Wood existed. Ted, Joan’s father, was a competitive car salesman, and the two men ultimately square off' in a paint brush fight which added to the hilarity of the situation. In the end, Laurie returned home, came down to earth, and was forgiven by everyone, including Mark. Wally and Joan patched up all their differences, Miss Gustavesky landed Mr. Honeywell, the Woods and Huntingtons became best of friends, and . . . the little dog laughed to see such sport!” Cast of Characters Laurie Huntington................
