'A 1 JU ' li I' 7 3 EVER SINCE EVE A new comedy of youth by John Holm, Ever Since Eve , was presented by the Junior class on Tuesday, April 18, and directed by the class sponsor, Miss Phyllis Barrett. This most successful school play is the mirthful story of Susan Blake, a career girlf' and the troubles which beset those two loyal musketeers, Johnny Clover and Spud Erwin, editor and business manager of the Preston Hig'h School Penguin, when Susan high-pressures herself into the position of assistant editor. Before the curtain falls on the second act, Susan, always with the best intentions, has almost bankrupt the Penguin, shaken the friendship of the mus- keteers, and given them the measles. When her innocent enthusiasm involves all of them in an illegal pin- ball game which almost lands them in jail, Johnnyls mother steps in and saves the day, not only for the young people, but also for the high school principal and the pretty journalism teacher whose lives have been disrupted by the ubiquitous but ever adorable Susan. Congratulations, juniors, upon a very good production of a fine high school play. CAST Mr. Clover, a gentle, absent-minded business man . Bill Schroer Mrs. Clover, a brisk, competent mother . .
