The plot tells of Stephen Santry who in- herits a small farm from an eccentric old uncle. Since Stephen is at his wit ' s end to know what to do with his family, he decides to have them visit his farm. Some time after the arrival, after Stephen has become exas- perated with their reactions to his hospitality, he issues the ultimatum that he who wants food and clothing must work for it. Olive feigns sickness in an effort to con- vince her father that she must go home. Lynn Gray, the country doctor, is called in, and he falls in love with Olive. The gradual change in the attitudes of the family toward farm life occupies the rest of the plot. At the conclusion of the play, the entire family is inspired with a love for the environment of the simple life. A large audience attended the play which was held in the Emerson school auditorium on the evening of May 9. SENIOR CLASS PLAY CAST TOP ROW: Moreau, Smith, Emomns. Steller.

towLiiri 99 aifiS JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Growing Pains, the Junior class play, is a comedy of adolescence. The play, given on December 7, 1939, and directed by Miss Abel, was presented on the stage of the Emer- son school auditorium before a capacity crowd. The play centers around the young son and daughter of Professor and Mrs. Mclntyre, namely George and Terry Mclntyre. George and Terry are just at the age where they are thinking about growing up. Terry stops play- ing ball with the boys and starts to wear high heeled shoes and act more grown up. George and his friends begin to think more about girls. When Prudence, a very fashionable good looking girl who acts much older, comes to town, George and his friend, Brian, have a race to see which one can win Prudence ' s attention. Brian seems to be winning until Prudence tells him she thinks he is young . Then both boys forget her and Brian ' s atten- tion goes back to Terry, who all this time has been making herself miserable over the other girl ' s intrusion. As the play ends, another new girl has just moved to town and the boys again start after her.
