Clifton M. Tamsett—nickname Clif or Tammy—likes sports, green eyes, understanding people, steak, spaghetti, pizza, 7-up, beans and corn. He dislikes boring conversation, himself, coffee, beer, cigarettes, beets and asparagus. His pet peeve is girls going steady before they are twenty. His favorite expression is Oh nuts! Ten years from now he hopes to be Research Director of a small Industrial Corporation with a beautiful wife and two children. Agnes Tyler likes jazz, dancing, John Steinbeck, the beat generation and large bracelets. She dislikes having to get up early, two-faced people, peas and English authors. Her pet peeve is conformists. Her favorite expression is Like wow. Her favorite hangout is the Guidance Room. She is noted for her long fingernails. Ten years from now she hopes to be graduated from the University of Rochester in the profession of nursing. George Peabody couldn't have created more consternation in his gay, carefree household if he had tossed a bomb in its midst. But ever since George has become a success, remodeled his house, and bought a big car, his family have thoughtlessly grown out of hand. Son Russell, sloppy and seventeen, is set on being a trap drummer, with complete indifference to his studies and graduation in June. Daughter Jeannie's dalliances are driving Suitor Claude half-crazy; and Larry, her other ardent admirer, is frantically failing at college because of Jeannie's tear-stained letters which hint at a mysterious but fatal illness. And what Grace, George's pretty young wife, knows about money you could write on the outside of Mr. Peaboby's rapidly dwindling checkbook. So, in stark desperation, George instigated the Peabody Plan and announces it to his startled family in no uncertain terms. Russell will give up drifting and drumming and settle on a real career. Jeannie must choose immediately between thrifty Claude and romantic Larry. And Grace is to balance the budget—no matter how! From that point on, it's really a Great Life—though not quite in the way Mr. Peabody expected. Russell decides to become a doctor, with the devoted assistance of cute Alice and studious Annabelle, who are willing to do his algebra and biology, hoping he will take one of them to the prom. Jeannie faints when her two swains become engaged in featherweight fistcuffs. Annabelle excitedly announces the arrival of General Custer , an old, broken-down horse Russell insists he needs for his experiments as a horse doctor! But the crowning blow comes when the rich Wunkle Sisters walk in to take possession of the Peabody home. Grace has sold it to balance the budget! There's not room to tell all. The ailing General is revived so violently that he nearly kicks down the new garage. Alice and Annabelle both get their cherished date with Russell, who is at last in earnest about a veterinary career; and Jeannie finds the real love of her life in a most amusing and unexpected way. Even Grace and George find renewed faith in the future as they dream of a little place in the country for themselves and the General. Here was the cast; Senior Jeannie Peabody is lovely, vivid, dramatic; 19 Claude Fraley takes himself and Jeannie seriously; 22 Russell Peabody, a senior, is sloppy, indifferent; 17 Annabelle, cheerful and neat, does his biology; 15 Eloise is a sturdy, healthy girl-of-all-work; 20 Grace Peabody has trouble concentrating; 38 Aurelia Audrey Wunkle is tall, long-faced; 5 0 Sophia Jane Wunkle is short, round-faced; 55 Ma Dr. Edward Appleby is handsome, lives next door; 30 George Peabody has trouble managing his family; 45 Larry Jordan, from college, is an energetic hustler; 20 Alice, bright and pretty, does Russell's algebra; 15 Miss Jacobs is Russell's exasperated teacher; 60 Mr. Pooley is a lawyer; 40 General Custer, Russell's horse; (25yrs. old) Director Everett Boise Agnes Tyler Johanne Thomsen Mary Catherine Kopko 20 Donn Dixson Rebecca Carr Joyce Kenyon Pete Tompkins Sound effects Miss Shillabeer Douglas Ezick Clifton Tamsett Sharon Warner Jerry Sebeck Jim Preston Yanna Kroes Please note; Mary C.
