FATHER KNOWS BEST On November 16, 1956, the Senior Speech class of Philo High School presented “Father Knows Best”, a three act comedy about the more light¬ hearted aspects of family life. It is from the radio program and the television play. High points of the play: Betty has trouble with Father over her boy friend Ralph, who asked her to go dancing but Father says that no one was leaving the house. Betty goes against Father’s word and takes her suit case with her formal in it, so she can change at a restaurant, and goes to the dance with Ralph, taking Father’s car. Kathy, sees them leaving and tells Father. Father thinks the two are eloping and has the police out looking for them. Everything turns out to make an interesting and delightful play.
