Jluiurs . . . ' fa? Light, Star Bigj' Star Light, Star Bright a comedy about teen-age life in three acts was the Junior play presented Friday, December 9 at 8 o'clock in the High School Auditorium. Miss Sarah Kate Wood was the director and her student director was Juanita Rose. Tryouts were held Nov. 7-9 and nightly rehearsals began Nov. 10. A Senior class ring desired by vivacious Sue Townsend, Loyce Anne Smith, and in the possession of a certain reluctant Chuck Lindley, Joe Forbes and Bob Morris, is the main event in the play. Sue, with her bratty, 15 year old brother, Buzz, Phil Arnold and Bob Campbell, and their friends have invaded the study of their tender, but sometimes irate father, Jim Townsend, played by Robert Cox. Mr. Townsend, assisted by studious Gordon Hale, John Nelson, is working on an Eliza- bethan novel. However he has completed a rather libelous novel about his female pub- lisher, Nelle Macon, who is currently trying to persuade Jim to edit a dictionary for her. Nelle is a super-sophisticate whose daugh- ter, Lucy, Carolyn Dutton, is in a girls' school. During one of Nelle's brief, but harassing visits she remarks that she will have to break the date she had with Lucy to see a business associate. Sympathetic Mrs. Townsend, Jerry Ann Forister, tells Nelle to let Lucy stay over the week-end with them. Page twenty-.fix When Sue, who is busy completing plans for her sixteenth birthday dance, learns that a girl from New York will be a guest at her party, she is horrified. Sueis best friend, boisterous Jenny Clayton, Patty Thompson, suggests that Lucy will be smooth and have a line a mile long, and things look dark in- deed to the girls. Buzz is definitely against this Mlove stuffi' because he believes his parents are consider- ing a divorce and warns Chuck repeatedly not to take his sister seriously. Every time Sue has Chuck sold on the idea of falling in love fit wasn't difficultj Buzz appears to pour cold water on the whole thing. Not quite as subtle as Sue, Jenny is working on Buzz, but her efforts seem futile. Much to the surprise of all concerned, Lucy turns out to be about as interesting as yester- dayis salad. Lucy is shy, plain, and very self- conscious. Good-hearted Sue plays the fairy god-mother and after a round or two with a comb and brush, a little make-up and appro- priate clothes, Lucy is, as Jenny aptly phrased it, 'tdreamyf' Naturally Chuck falls for her on the first bounce. Mr. Townsend has worries of his own, financially, that is, but he refuses to sign Nelle's dictionary contract until he gets the final refusal on his book. Sue, Jenny, and Lucy are all lovely on fC01ztinuezi on Page 66j
