SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Class of “1951”, made class play history by producing an original play by “Mr. Young,” entitled, “Look Mother, I Can! The story concerns a typical American family. Mother, Dad, their two daughters, and two sons. Ellen and Harry are in college, Martha is 17 and Peter 13. The parents are trying to provide the best for their children, but Ellen has become class-conscious in college and hesitates to bring her roommate home. Feeling that Sue will consider her inferior because the home furnishings are out-of-date and worn, she engages an interior decorator. The family budget will not stand this expense, and matters are made worse when it is learned that Pete, has come down with polio. Through their common concern with Pete’s future the family are brought together and the young people learn that a home is made by people and not by its furnishings. Love interest is provided by the affairs of Martha and her high school boy friend, and Ellen and Joe, Harry’s roommate. 6
