Directors Lois A. Budd Ioliy F. Griqqs senden 61644 play The Senior Class of Shawnee High School took pride in presenting the play Arsenic And Old Lace in the Municipal Auditorium, Fri- day night, May 7, IQ43. Under the direction of Miss Lois A. Budd and jolly F. Griggs, the play was the highlight of the school year. Bodies ln Our Cellari' was the name of F. the play when it was first Written, but it was changed to Arsenic And Qld Lace. The story had to do with two smart, but mentally unbalanced, old ladies who decided that if they devoted their lives to helping lonely old men escape from Life, they would be doing good work. Thirteen delightful murders were their final record. Sanity and murder had not prev- iously been employed with such riotous re- sults. It was a noisy, preposterous, incoherent joy. You wou'ldn't believe that homical mania could be such fun. The cast of the play included: Abby Brewster, played by Ida Rob- insong The Reverend Dr. Harper, by jack Reeseg Teddy Brewster, Bob Chandlerg Officer Brophy, Bob Ashby, Officer Klein, Bill Ram- seyg Martha Brewster, Verna Ruth Forstong Mortimer Brewster, Dick Williamsg Mr. Gibbs, Joe Crist. Jonathan Brewster was played by L. D. McClureg Dr. Einstein, Edward Thorntong Officer O'l-lara, Homer Thompsong Lieut. Roon- ey, Matt Hampton, and Mr. Witherspoon, Oliver Reed. Stage man- ager was james Bradley, property manager, Shirley Haddock. The play was a huge success as it ended a glorious and victorious three years for the Senior Class.
