The Senior Class presented a three-act comedy, So This Is Bliss , at the Harristown Grade School November 15, under the direction of Mr. Earle Smith. The setting of this comedy is a combination gas station and home of the Smiths. Deck Smith, the troubled one, will soon be eighteen and ready for college-or marriage. Wise in math, baseball, and gas-station operations, Deck is not wise about women. Spring hits him, socko! - Spring and Marcella Payne. Finding himself engaged to Marcella, Deck reluctantly abandons college hopes and engineering ambitions and, urged by his fiancee, announces he would like to get married as soon as he turns eighteen. Mother says, Nonsense! ; but Dad takes another line. So you want to be married, son, he says. Well, okay. But for a weekend I want you to take charge of things here. Mother and I will take a little vacation. Thefull responsibili- ty will be in your hands. Service the cars, repair the flat tires, charge the batteries, rent the rooms to tourists,-and- your sister Liz may leave Baby Chips with you on Saturday night. When we come back we will talk about your plans, Deck-your plans for marriage. Dad, Mother, and Kid Sister head for the lake. The gas station overflows with tourists wanting rooms, atruckdriver, a college field man, a pair of irresistible co-eds, Deck's older sister, his insurance-selling brother-in-law, his baby nephew, Marcella with her mother and her three little mischievous cousins. Dutch Kelly, the more irresistible of the two adventure- some co-eds, is stuck with a variety show. She has to write or finds someone who can. She finds Deck's love poems; she finds music to fit them. More important still, she finds Deck Smith; butfinds him in a matrimonial trap that is about to spring. Through the clever philosophy of Dad and Dutch Kelly, Deck is led astray from the path of matrimony and is brought back to bachelorhood.
