Dramatics “Ever Since Eve” by Ryerson and Clements The Junior Class presented “Ever Since Eve,” a three act comedy, the evening of March 31. This was the only play that was held in S. H. S. this year. The action of the play dealt with the trials of teen-aged Johnny Clover, played by Wesley Harty, and his close friend Spud Erwin or Burton Kerns, in trying to publish the high school paper in the face of troubles from the opposite sex in the person of Susan Blake, Johnny’s childhood playmate and recently appointed girls’ editor, and her friend and Spud’s sister, Betsy Erwin. Bessie Graham had the role of the sweet Susan and the talkative Betsy was played by Virginia Shellinger. Added interest to the play was a new girl from the deep South, Lucybelle Lee, played by Jeanne Cox, who almost broke up the friendship of Johnny and Spud, since both boys wanted to take her to the Christmas Prom. The troubles that arose from the complicated situation kept the story rolling in mirth and side-splitting humor to the delightfully happy ending. Other characters were the brisk competent mother of Johnny, played by Dorothy Alderson; Johnny’s absent-minded father, played by Dede Meyer; the high school journalism teacher. Miss Martha Willard, played by Miriam White; the school civics teacher, Henry Quinn, played by Larry Schwartz; the captain of the football team, Preston Hughes, played by Dick Hammer; and the small-town police officer, “Cappy” Simmons, played by Robert Young. Members of the football team were Vern Helsbeig, Bill Heagy, Dick Wright, Bill Hardy, Steve Abbott, Vincent East, and Arthur Upton. The Production Staff consisted of: Director, Miss Beryl Brownlee; Class Sponsors, Miss Yolande Beall and Mrs. Anna Burt; Class President, Virginia Shellinger; Stage Crew, Steve Abbott.
