This is a play that depends on the acting for its success rather than on the staging, scenery, and costuming, and is probably the most difficult ever attempted as a Senior production here. Bab, A Sub-Deb is the story of the trials and tribulations of the lively Bab, in her attempts to prove to her mid-victorian family that she is really grown-up and deserving of attention. Before she iinishes, she gets more than she has planned on, and the result is almost fatal. But everything turns out right, and they all live happily ever after. Myrtha Schmidt did a line piece of acting with a very long and diiiicult part. Those congratula- tions from Helen Hayes were not at all inopportune. Jean Maldiner, after several valiant attempts, finally succumbed sweetly to the persistent love-making of the English QD Wilbur Hoefert, in spite of the monocle, while Lorry Papke proved a more successful stage lover than Paul Robertson in winning the leading lady's hand. We don't know how she resisted you, Paul! The character parts were successfully portrayed by Arno King and Richard Rasmussen, who received some valuable information and practice. The comedy Cdid it feel as funny as it looked, Walter?J was skillfully supplied by Ruth Seguin and Walter Wendell, who, between them, gave the audience plenty of laughs. Helene Proefrock and Burt Leverenz agreed to take the shorter parts, and played them well. I The play was most heartily received by a full house, and was a great success. It was with much disappointment that the cast learned that the quota of plays had been filled for the contest at Ithaca, but they can be justly proud of the line performance they gave on Thursday, March 22. PICNIC PLANS , r Of course we're going to have a Senior picnic! It is still a part of the futureg but isn't anticipating loads of fun, too? Crystal Beach has been agreed upon as the place, and the big day is Saturday, June 23. Each Senior who wishes to, will be allowed to bring a guest - and don't forget the eats. ! Busses will leave Saturday morning to take the Seniors and their guests to the boat. Arrange- ments have also been made for return transportation. Although the prom was very successful, we expect the picnic to be doubly so. This is the last day that many of us will be together socially, so we're all planning to go and make it a perfect day. We'1l be seeing you on the Cyclone!
