Kidder, was presented by the senior class of 1937 on February 5» Berinda Meeker (Geraldine Spear) must be married by six o’clock on her nineteenth birthday, or she must forfeit thirty thousand dollars inherited from her father to her grasping Uncle Gideon (Charles Getz). Berinda escapes from her uncle and hides with her elder sister, Corinna Meeker (Phyllis Wickwire). Matters are complicated when Berinda’s lover, Ned Bailey (Gerald Howard), disappears. The fun begins when Corinna’s matrimonial advertise- ment for Ned is answered by Detective Blake Hayden (Louis Seely) who is employed by Gideon Warren to bring back Berinda. Corinna plays upon his belief that Adelaide (Mary Ann Bodjack), the town cut-up, is Berinda, and he takes her back to her uncle. Berinda and Corinna, in their mad flight from Hayden whom, they fear, will soon discover his mistake, run into Ned who is in the hands of a forceful widow (Marie Schramm). A negro porter, Sam, (Charles Engler), and a comical justice of the peace, Dilly, (Raymond Reznicek) help to heighten the comedy. Of course everything ends happily for everyone except Uncle Gideon. Ned and Berinda are married in time to inherit the mon- ey and Corinna and Blake plan to follow suit. Sinoe the senior class consisted of only six students, Geraldine Spear and Marie Schramm from the junior class and Mary Ann Bodjack from the class of ’36 were chosen to assist the sen- iors. Mr8. Myers directed the play. 23
