Senior Play Do you still recall when the curtains pulled back to reveal the Senior play “Here Comes the Prince!”? Remember Granny’s (Barbara Cheney) bouncing and quavering “Swanee River” on the chest?—Fred Halliday’s (Leslie Frank) title minded concern and sputtering about getting his daughter a husband? Joan (Mary Christopher) personified our exact idea of a boyish, funloving girl in her dual role as fake prince and heroine. Speaking of personifications—could anyone have given a more striking performance of a snobbish dowager and “yes, mama!” daughter than June Brauch and Mary Alice Hall gave in their respective roles of Mrs. Lovejoy and Wanda? The real prince Rudolph (Francis Dickey) certainly produced a commotion when he entered with an accented bass “Good Evening.” Terry’s (Russell Silkey) eaperings as the blonde cook Hortense (hero in disguise) drew plenty of giggles. It seems amusing to think back on Carol (Jane Ward) with her snobbish manners and raging—getting not the prince or hero, but none other than Professor Chipper (Norwood Lane) the bird fancier whose most endearing speeches were quavering metaphors of our fine feathered friends. Action was sure to take place when the dancer, Sonya (Esther Hill) accented her riotous way after the prince. Can you ever forget when Winks (Wallace Bittler) went after the Indians to make them pay and pay for scalping his little Hortense? All in all, under the direction of Mrs. Kitchen, it was a tip top performance. V Class The Class Night program was held May 20 in the high school auditorium. The play was written by two members of the Senior class, Dorothy Congdon and Ethel Bennett. Night It was accompanied by the presentation of the gavel to Dorothy Bankston, Junior Class President, by Durward Olds, Senior Class President.
