MULCAHY, A YOUNG MANS FANCY GCI' HE fall production of the Dramatics Department was the hilarious comedy, A Young Man's Fancy, hot off the Broadway griddle. The action of this play takes place in a summer co- educational camp for the children of wealthy New Yorkers who want to get the kids out of their hair for the summer months. The plot revolves around four boys -- Duvie, Grilly, Iokey, and Buddy -- all veterans of a few years of camp life. W. MORLEY. A young brother and sister, Harold and Helen Greenley, are owners of the camp, operating on a borrowed shoestring, their hopes being diminished by every trick and prank of the four boys. The unceasing jokers become victims of their own type of pranks when an attractive camp counse- lor, Sylvia Wilson, wises up Dickie Crandall, a mama's boy. Faith Weatherhead, the camp pert, kept everybody hopping. Girl Camper . . Girl Camper . . Harold Greenley .... Sylvia Wilson. . Girl Camper . . Dr. Spee ..... Dorothy Bennett Duvie .......
