Senior Class Play 0 N ,Q To 0 n , 9695 f Oar 0 14,3 Grandad, ill a year ago, is still considered an invalid by his daughter, Mrs. Morton, who feeds him on nothing but soup and crackers while he dreams of thick, juicy steaks. An old friend, Big Jim Mahoney returns from out in Arizona' and plans to stage a supper for all his boyhood pals. Jim helps Grandad make plans to get out of the house without his daughter's know- ing. Unfortunately all his clothes are in storage. His grandson, Kip, has come for a visit, so they bribe the maid to sneak Kip's clothes out of his room. When Grandad appears in the suit wearing a red bow tie, his coat sleeves nearly up to his elbows, his pants halfway up to his knees, the audience really shakes the rafters. The two old men sneak out of the house with nobody the wiser. A nosey old maid across the street sees them and telephones Mrs. Morton, who scoffs at the idea, saying her father is asleep on the sofa. It is really Tilly, the maid, who has been bribed by Grandad to cover up with a blanket, and snore at intervals. Kip, who has a date to go to the movies with the girl next door, gets a shock when he finds his suit missing. His older sister, Betty, and her boyfriend make the discovery that Grandad has disappeared. Assuming that a burglar has stolen Kip's suit and kidnapped Grandad, they notify the police. The tempo now gets faster and faster. While the detective, a regular human blooclhound, and the family are out look- ing for Grandad, he and Big Jim slip into the house with mysterious bandages around their heads. A surprising romance develops, and just before the final curtain there is a scene that gets the biggest laugh of the many that are found in this hilarious play.
