OF THE Q Em Where are those knives? You're supposed to be dead! Can't you look a little more like it? Louder! Louder! Can't hear you back here! Such shouts as these resounded through the assembly hall eighth and ninth periods for many weeks prior to the performance of the senior class play. What goes on? sez you. Rehearsal, sez I. What for? sez you. The senior play, sez I. What's the title? sez you. 'Out of the Frying Pan,' sez lp want to buy a ticket? This goes on every year, for every senior play. And every year Mr. Raymond Kelly, fac- ulty sponsor and director, vows that he will keep calrn and not lose his temper. But in spite of this resolution, Mr. Kelly goes not so quietly crazy! 191 - to f . -su Y 1 0 I nir- I ,t 44 ll f -arf J - . 'Q 4 . FS . , ..,, l , I ,,..'.'-kfi rljl J W gi e- . if .ua sg .'

The play concerned three boys, Norman, Tony, and George, and three girls, Dottie, Kate, and Marge, as they struggled for fame. Marge, George's sister, is married to Tony. All six share an apartment in the rooming house be- longing to Mrs. Garnet, a vague and rather slow-witted woman, who is never quite sure whether the kids are acting or not. Mr. Kenny, a famous Broadway producer, lives in the apart- ment below, and many a laugh came from the kids' antics as they spied on him by looking down the hole by the radiator. The youngsters were broke, but Dottie's mother, Mrs. Coburn, rich, snobbish, society woman, unknowingly supported them all. But after many misunderstandings and plenty of laughs, involving a Mickey Finn, a gumbo, two policemen, and a corpse, ttoo realistically played by Dottie's friend, Muriell, things finally straightened out, much to everyone's relief. The play ended happily with Norman and Dottie falling in love, and the youngsters getting a job in Mr. Kenny's show. Mr. Cecil B. Kelly is well known at Parker for his excellent stage productions. He has a long list of hits to his credit, and you can just chalk up another one for Out of the Frying Pan. So, as we chat over our after-theater supper, we will remember the cast, Mr. Kelly, and that thoroughly enjoyable play, Out of the Frying Pan.
