THE SENIOR PLAY On May 2, “Step right this way, ladies and gentlemen, right this way” resounded through the auditorium as the introduction to the Senior Play, “Hold Everything,” began. Those participating in the introduction were Jim Wilson, as the barker; John Stambol, as a patron; and Ruth Broker, as the crystal gazer. Madam Bolo. The story of the play, “Hold Everything,” presents Niobe, the superstitious maid, who has recently visited Madam Bolo, the crystal gazer. Now she believes her experiences at the tourist home of Caroline Caruthers, the attractive young widow, are the result of her counting the voodoo beans, carrying the rabbit’s foot, and sleeping with four horseshoes under her pillow. Christopher Morgan, a banker, has set his heart on a marriage between his daughter, Connie and Courtney Barret. Learning of this, Connie, with her friend. Bee Williams, runs away and arrives at the tourist home of Caroline Caruthers on Honeymoon Trail. There she meets a young man who falls in love with her. Discovering Connie’s flight, her father starts in pursuit and, because of car trouble, decides to remain overnight at the same tourist home. Two strange men arrive soon after with a mysterious grip. Later another man comes to inquire about them. Everyone becomes suspicious of everyone else and the black bag starts on a merry-go-round of ownership. How all the problems are solved to the satisfaction of most of the guests at the tourist home is accomplished in an entertaining manner involving the characters in some humorous situations. The cast of the characters are: Niobe, the superstitious colored maid, Alice Fennell; Caroline Caruthers, owner of the tourist home, Roma Mellon; Connie Morgan, sophisticated daughter running away from Courtney, Sally Deibler; Bee Williams, Connie’s friend who enjoys life. Myrtle Lintner; Courtney Barret, the son of Christopher’s old friend, Theodore Perich; Mrs. Julia Gibbs, an ambitious mother, Lois Kidd; Lottie Gibbs, the singer who has won three prizes, Betty Barton; Wanda Gibbs, the elocutionist who paralyzes her audience, Jane Gauffer; Daisy Gibbs, the daughter who does many styles of dancing, Loretta Kozain; Steve, the likeable youth with dishonest tendencies, Richard Martin; Andy, the youth with more courage than intelligence, Robert Yerina; Christopher Morgan, president and owner of the State Bank of Albany, Richard Weight-man; Tim Macauley, a typical middle-aged detective, Rudy Labor. Between acts the audience was entertained by Miss Betty Mae George’s dancing group. The program was very well received by the audience at both the matinee and evening performances. Clifford Felmlee, president of the Senior Class, presented the director of the play, M iss Ruth Peters, with an orchid. 18
