The plot is as follows: Aunt Jane, sweet sixty one maiden with money has an abhorrence for smoking, strong drinks and the stage. Her only brother- in-law, William Winkler, dependent, must have his smokes and high-balls and is ln love with Kitty, the actress. Jane, their niece, was in love with Bobbie Baxter, a young college graduate, but this match was unwelcome to Mr. Winkler, because in Jane's father's will, it distinctly said unless Jane marries Benjamin More, bachelor of New York City, before six o'clock on the seventh day of August, both her share and 510,000 belonging to William Winkler were to be sacrificed to charity or some such rot. Winkler decides to hide Jane at the Halcyon House, in the Catskill Moun- tains, until after her marriage to More. Bobbie Baxter trails them and finds in charge of the Halcyon House, his old pal and classmate from Yale, Tinglepough, better known as Ting. He tells Ting his troubles and the latter decides that love must be as bad as the measlesg but nevertheless tries to help him out of his difficulties by suggesting that he disguise himself as Kitty Benders, the actress, in the hope of complicating matters between Winkler and Aunt Jane, thus clearing the way for his conquest of Jane. This he does and the compli- cations that follow cause more fun than a barrel of monkeys. He flirts with Ting, acts as a comiortor to Jane for she thinks Bobbie has drowned himself, vamps Benjamin More, who has been believed by Jane to be her dramatic teacher, scandalizes Aunt Jane and causes Winkler to call for the rough on rats, but finally, through the aid of Sam, the colored porter, and Suzette, the maid, carrying love letters, Aunt Jane is found a husband in Benjamin More, making a grand finale for Bobbie and Jane and Winkler and Kitty. All decide to spend their honeymoon at the Halcyon House, as they had spent everything else. CAST OF CHARACTERS Aunt Jane ,,,,,,.,,,,... ..............................

This play is generally conceded to have been one of the best ever given in the O. H. S. lt was presented on Friday evening, April 22, 1927, in the High School auditorium. The success of this play was due to the tire- less efforts and coaching of Mrs. Brazel, class advisor, and Superintendent Murphy. Act I. Charles Atkins arrives at the Branson home, in Shady Grove, sup- posedly to be tamed down as littl-e Nell Crundel terms it, but in reality he has come as a representative of the Norris Company to put the Shady Grove Store out of business. He is accompanied by his college chum, Randy Stewart, who sells insurance. Charles has been writing letters to Evalina Scroggs, the homeliest girl in the village, under the impression that she is the most beauti- ful girl in the village. When he meets Evalina he gets a great shock. Act. II. When Charles finds that Betty Branson owns the Shady Grove Store he decides to send in his resignation to the Norris Company and help Betty. He forces Jarvis Sneed, the meanest man in the village, to give him the nine hundred dollars which he has swindled from Betty. Then he gets Betty to sign a contract making Charles and Randy her agents to run the store for herg but Betty thinks that she is signing a contract of sale for her store for nine hundred dollars. Randy tries to get Susie Crundell, Betty's best friend, to pay attention to him, but she declares that she is not in the market for any insurance. Jim Pritchett, a village character, falls out of the cherry tree and ruins a basket of cherries. Mollie Jessop, cook for the Bransons, soundly berates him for his clumsiness. Sneed tells Betty that Charles has resigned from the Norris Company GIIIDIOY, and has b0l1ght her store for him- self. Betty orders Charles and Randy to find other quarters in Shady. Grove as soon as possible. Charles tells Susie, Nell, Mollie and Jim about his plan to help Betty, and enlists them on his side. I Q Act III.
