58 THE CHRONICLE F SENIOR PLAY First Row4M. Doiron, B. Hall, N. Nutting, M. Hammond. Second RowYL. Murch, D. Polland, C. Trask, J. Hicks, K. Bailey. The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, was presented by the Senior Class on November 30 at the Association Hall. Mr. Keith Cunning- ham was the director. The plot portrayed the trials of a fam- ily that had difliculty in finding their relatives. The resulting mix-up of re- lations, friends and Sweethearts gave the audience three acts of amusing com- edy that featured the Bunberrying ex- periences of Kent, the mistaken identity of John, the confusion of Marie and Beverly, and the constant disapproval of Marian. The nineteenth century English gar- den, with furniture made by the shop boys, was a fitting background for the old fashioned costumes that townspeople so generously loaned.

The Future Homemakers of America is the national organization of pupils studying homemaking in junior and sen- ior high schools of the United States and territories. It was founded June 11, 1945, and is an incorporated non- profit youth organization. There are eight specific purposes of the organization. 1. To promote a growing apprecia- tion of the joys and satisfaction of homemaking. 2. To emphasize the importance of worthy home membership. 3. To encourage democracy in home and community life. 4. To work for good home and fam- ily life for all. 5. To promote international good will. 6. To foster the development of cre- ative leadership in home and commun- ity life. 7. To provide wholesome, individual and group recreation. 8. To further interest in home eco- nomics. Our local club, led by Mrs. Donald Starbird, is planning meetings, such as a mother and daughter banquet, a social hour, and an amateur program. We want to do our best this year in furth- ering our organization.

Gay, The Junior play, Adam's Evening was presented April 25 at the Associa- tion Hall, directed by Mr. Keith Cun- ningham. 1 The cast included Mr. Adams, Ray- mond Wentworth: Casper, Richard Mc- Gown: Dr. Fragoni, Warren Hazelton: Mr. Cokes, Gary Downing: Elmer, Lur- ing Strout: Mrs. Adams, Mary Turner: Gertie, Evelyn McKeen: Mrs. Fragoni, Eleanor Gay: Mrs. Cokes, Carleen Stone: and Mrs. Bean, Amy Hapgood. The committees were: general mana- ger, Sylvia Johnson: prompters, Jackie Verrill and Ted Kimball: sound effects, James Washburn: lights and curtains, Henry Morton: scenery and props, Clif- ford Morse, Laurence Estes, Robert Beck, Bill Snow, Stephen Carroll, Joe Harney, Roger Tuttle, Stan Smith, and Eugene Wilson: make-up, Mr. Bryant Bean, Miss Nathalie Hall, and William Culbert: between acts, Nancy Kelleher, Charlene Conant, and Joan Curtis: pro- grams, ushers, and concessions, Annette Card, Janice Davis, Laurene Britton, and Joann Curtis: tickets, Patty Swal- low, and Glenice Harding: and publicity, William Culbert and Donald Turner. This play was about Mr. Adams, who during his wife's absence had an enjoy- able evening with Dr. Fragoni's wife, only to have his wife and mother-in-law find out later. Murderous threats by Dr. Fragoni and suicide talk by Elmer added to the hilarity. We hope our satisfied audience will look forward to our Senior play.
