Q ' W ,iflozfotlier goose The complications which set in when four orphaned children struggle to maintain the ownership oi' their home, provided the theme for our hilarious senior play, Brother Goose by William Davidson, presented on December 9 and 10. Jeffrey Adams fRobert Friesj, the oldest of the four Adams children, attempts to serve as both father and mother to his brother, Wesley fGeorge Krepsj and two sisters, Carole fGloria Shrumj and Hyacinth fNancy Lohtj. Helen, the cook fAgnes Torakj resigns as the play opens. She declares she cannot cope with the tomboy antics of Hyacinth. Jeff's dire need for a cook and housekeeper is relieved by the a1'rival of a hosiery saleslady, Peggy Winkle fHannah Dilliplaneb, who, because of fondness for Hy and a deeper affection for Jeff, undertakes to hold the family together. As the mortgage fall due on the house, Jeff lands a contract to design the Wee Blue Inn for Lulu Trimmer fMary Casperj. JefF's progress is slowed down because of the plans he is drawing for Lenore Hudson fMary Ann Mullinj, bubble gum heiress who has a few plans of her own, namely, to marry Jeff. Through all this, the normal life in the household attempts to go on. Hy, a stellar halfback for the Palace of Sweets football team, practices every night on the lot on which Lenore plans to build her house. For this reason, and others, she makes no effort to hide her dislike for Lenore. Wesley, who is in Carole's estimation girl crazy, finds his latest dream-girl in the form of the new Southern bclle in the neighborhood, Eve Mason QBeryl Ready. His main problem is keeping his arch rival, Muggs, away from Eve. Hilarity is provided by the impromptu football scene, in which Sarah, the lVlason's colored cook, fNancy Manwillerj confuses faint with feint. Hy plans to thwart Lenore's intention of starting excavation on her lot before the crucial game between the Palace of Sweets and the Dawn Mortuaries, and accomplishes this by almost causing the truck driver fCarl Levengoodj to have heart failure. The complications do, however, get ironed out. The ending is surprising and life once again settles down to normalcy. 77
