This was the first Senior Play to be presented to the public in six years. This comedy unfolds the story of Tom Arsdale, who is girl-shy, and his room- mate, Oke Stimson, who isn't. Tom sud- denly finds himself in love with his sup- posed cleaning woman. Complications arise when his father, aunt, and home- town girl-friend arrive for his gradua- tion. All these are cleared up when Oke's girl-friend reveals that Tom's sweetheart is not a cleaning woman, but the well-known Barbara Sanford, whom Tom's father accepts when he sees that Tom really is in love with her.
