A DANCE WITH OUR MISS BROOKS On March 23, 1956, the junior class of Philo High School presented in the school auditorium, the three-act comedy, “A Dance With Our Miss Brooks.” The story: When Miss Brooks (Sandra Hamil¬ ton) puts her mind on going to the school dance with the athletic coach (Gary Smith), and also hopes to wheedle a corsage out of him, things be¬ come complicated. The ladies from the Taxpayers Association show up and find that the money is being wasted on educational fal-las. The night of the dance everything goes hay¬ wire. The coach twists his ankle, the Principal, (Bob Hunter) falls headfirst through the paper moon. In despair, Miss Brooks writes out her resignation, but, in a wonderful finale, the students prove that they really learned resourcefulness and responsibility. The dance is back within its budget and Miss Brooks is happy. Other characters in the play: Miss Marlowe, the home economics teacher, Jo Ann Rittberger; Miss Audubon, the music teacher, Hope Perkins.
