The play was under the direction of“ Mrs. D. T. Post. In a summer cabin out in the Ozarks v e find Ma Bran-nigan (Rosalee Bechtel) gaily singing while she puts the finishing touches to a nicely cleaned cabin. Kaye Bran-nlg8n (Louise Lewis), her granddaughter, is coming home from college for the summer, and everything must look homey for her. Catalpa Tapp (Caroline Lestinsky), the hillbilly servant, is, as usual, standing around watching. When Kaye arrives she announces her engagement to Kingston Campbell (Bob Gordon), a snob, whose mother, Mrs. Augusts Campbell (Marjorie Lloyd), is against this engagement because she thinks that the Brannigens are hillbillies. The fun begins when the Brannigans try to impersonate hillbillies to scare the Campbells away. They know th3t Kaye will then turn back to her childhood sweetheart, Jeff Scudder (Bill Gring), of whom the Brannigans have grown fond. Mr. Cyrus Scudder (Duane Smith), Jeff’s uncle, poses as Betty Brannigan's (Barbara Ware) suitor, and Dick Brannigsn (LeRoy Fritzen) poses as ai idiot, who stands around with his mouth open. To make things seem more realistic the Brannigans have invited Mr. Bildad Tapp (John Hewitt) to dinner for the occasion. During all the confusion Bildad Tapp finds his long lost sister who turns out to be Mrs. Campbell; Ma Bran-nigan finally agrees to marry Mr. Scudder, who has been waiting for years for her Yes to his many proposals; Kaye realizes that her infatuation for the aristocratic Kingston has died and she wins back Jeff. Everyone is happy with the exception of Mrs. Campbell and her son, Kingston, who are faced with the problem of what to do about Catalpa and her Dad who have gone home to get the rest of the family so that they may go to live with the Campbells. Senior Play- Junior Play ‘The junior piay. Cross My Heart, pushed along ’ey Miss Addie Lou Hinent, was finally tripped on March 25- A gang of thirteen mighty juniors made up the play cast. Here they come: Dave Adams, Bob Kirkham, a small town banker of fifty-five and his outspoken wife, Barbara Barnes, are the parents of Pauline, Marcia Jones, an emotional girl of twenty-one and Bob, a woman hater, Jim Reese, a likable but untidy junior just going on seventeen. Charlie Westover, Jerry Tickner, Pauline's fiance who works at the bank is the Adam's handy man. Lola Pomeroy, Joan Post, is a loud fifteen year old neighbor. Bob's friends, Carl Young, Bob Peterson, Patsy Jones, Joan Wondergem, Henrietta Duval, JoAnn Strauch, try to get Bob into Medford society. The Rosses bought the bank and upset the town. Jerome Ross, John Downing, a big shot of sixty, is the head of the family. Myrtle, Kathryn Swanson, his wife, has good judgement of every thing not concerning the two children Jim, Joe Hunt, an impertinent nineteen year old, and Eleanor, Jeanne DeGroote, sixteen sensitive and boy shy. Bob and Eleanor meet and discover mutual respect. Bob and Eleanor overhear Mr. Adams and Mrs. Ross discussing them and decide on busting their families wide open. Bob takes Jim's best tux and Eleanor borrows Pauline's newest evening dress and they go off in Jim's yellow Cadillac. The two disappear but reports of their passing counterfeit bills and holding up a gas station cause their parents much worry and the parents resolve to become better parents. Bob and Eleanor return unharmed except for an acute case of starry-eyes. They have spent their evening at the Bitehouse, dancing and eating. The mystery is solved and the bandits caught. All troubles are apparently solved until Bob and Eleanor walk out hand in hand to gaze at the moon. Then the parents decide their troubles have just started. And there they go! G. A. A.
