One of the most outstanding- events on the senior calendar for 1944 was the senior play, “Ring Around Elizabeth ', written by Chari Armstrong. The play was directed by Mrs. George Beall, and presented April 21, in the high school auditorium. In the play, Elizabeth was the hard-taxed center of an irritating household. I lor husband was a dullard; one of her daughters was hysterically in love with a cynical playboy. The other daughter was stridently precocious. To add to the household complications there was a selfish, old mother who hoarded antiques, and a bossy father-in-law who chased fires, a nosy house guest, and a bossy cook. Most of these people were worse than usual, because they were after a legacy that Elizabeth had received. 1 laving reached the breaking point, Elizabeth contracted amnesia, in which twenty years were blotted out and she was a girl again. This state of forgetfulness enabled her not only to indulge in such caprices as taking up with her daughter's young man, but to tell all the members of the family what she thought of them. The senior talent added to this hilarious comedy proved to be overwhelmingly successful.
