Undaunted by a mumpy March, hard luck, and a limited number of rehearsals, the handicapped drama- tists of the junior class clipped, in rollicking humor, through a matinee practice performance and finally presented their three-act comedy, Young April, March 27. The producer and director of this successful and now well-remembered comedy was Prescott high's own H. Theodore Cox. The leading action, which centered around the trials and tribulations of the McIntyre family, included a lovely teen-age girl, Terry; a handsome collegiate brother, George; an absent-minded father, and last, but not least, a bewildered but loving mother. The roman- tically minded McIntyres, typically de-financed, tripped and bounced through the puzzling problems of youth, finally solving them all, while a clever supporting cast combined both wit and action to aid the smoothness of the production. Members of the cast and the characters portrayed were Gene Harmon, Professor McIntyre; Vonnie Court- land, Mrs. McIntyre; Esther Mae Kennedy, Mrs. Miller; Ted Garrity, Bryan; Donnie Pearsall, Stewart Miller; Zayna Kindt, Diane Gilmore; George Allan, Dutch; Margaret Roberts, Lulu; Nancy Bassett, Vivien; Fannie Echols, Jane; Bill Jenney, Bert Parsons; Carol Pitchford, Elsie; and Julia Raber, Mildred. junior play
