SENIOR PLAY CAST The three-act comedy, Shoot the Works is a somewhat involved story, con- cerning a middle-aged spinster, Kate Ashworth, and her pretty niece Laura, who own and operate a Restful Home for Restless People. Miss Ashworth, fBarbara Grahamj is trying to sell her rest home at a neat profit and at the same time find a suitable husband for her niece fE1len Jane Whytej so that she may be free to travel and enjoy living. A Miss Ashworth hopes to impress her prospective buyer, Homer Boylston QRussell Dearolphj a very deaf and eccentric old man, by having several well- known guests. These include a famous song writer who poses as a reporter, name- ly Jud Clarendon CBob Youngj, and the real reporter, Guy Priest CJack Crow- leyj whose whole aim in life seems to be writing gossip about well-known people. The situation is made more humorous with the aid of the maiden guests at the home, Cwho are there mainly to find husbandsj and several other reporters and bodyguards. Everything ends satisfactorily when Mr. Boylston is greatly impressed by the arrival of a millionaire, Joshua Perkins, and his wife CMarlene Marnic and Ray Bowserj, and Laura linds her man in the form of the real song writer, Jud Clarendon.

The Class was proud of the success of the play as enjoyable entertainment and financial gain. The plot of the play consisted of a man and a woman, who had both been married be- fore and had teen-age children, preparing for marriage. But much to their surprise, both groups of children were jealously resentful of their parents re-marrying. Their actions of trying to break up the intended marriage provided good entertainment to the old as well as the young folk who were gathered in the audience. However, after a considerable length of time, her chil- dren and his found one another quite likeable and interesting persons. In the end they settled their differences in a sensible way and showed signs of becoming a very happy family. The outstanding performances were given by Bonnie Dearolph as the youngest of the children, Betty Kastory as the elder daughter of Agnes Martyn, Joe Pipher as the colored handy man, and Fred Bowser as the widower.

BOYS' INTRAMURALS Boys' Intramurals is an organization sponsored by Mr. Pager to benefit those who may not have the ability to take an active part in Varsity sports. The object of intramurals is to give each boy an opportunity to participate in basketball, soccer, volleyball, and many other such sports. As well as teaching the boys co-operation and good sportsmanship, it is ben- elicial from the physical and social standpoint. 'The group meets each Thursday, sixth period, and is thoroughly enjoyed by those who take part in the various activities. BARBARA GRAHAM .. 39 ...
