TIME OUT FOR GINGER All those who took “time out” for the Junior Play, “Time Out For Ginger,” were glad they did. The antics of Mr. Carroll, the father, stopped the show. The tomboy, Ginger, delighted the audience, as did the other characters in the play. The superb acting and humorous situations combined to create an outstanding play. 15
