Senior Class Play ' ' GroK ' i Jg Pel if IS As one of the high points in its year s calendar, the Senior Class presented a mirth-provoking three act comedy, entitled Growing Pains. to an appreciative audience assembled in the local theatre. The play depicted the trials and tribulations of two adolescent children caught in the meshes of puppy love and superiority complexes. Their bewildered parents, dazed by the rapid changes in their rebelling offspring, endeavored throughout the play to return their wandering children to the way of normal thought and action. The action of tlie play took ]jlace in the terrace room of the family ' s residence in northern California amid a beautiful setting of flowers and very attractive furniture and scenery. The two children of the family. George and Terry Mclntyre. were played by Chester Smith and Kathleen Kell, respectively. George, a rather wild young man of seventeen, displayed an intense love foi guns, blondes, and decrepit automobiles, which last eventually entangled him with an arm of the law. which part was played very ably by Vincent Ugo. Terry Mclnt)re proved to be a very likeable young person of fourteen, goin on fifteen addicted to high heels, roller skates, and Brian Stanley. Through the course of the pla she presented a humorously pathetic picture, now in tears over being turned down by the boys, now in ecstac over a new pair of high-heeled slippers. Ma and Pa Mclntyre, alias Irene Tirelis and Robert Smith who took their roles ver well, made strenuous efforts to keep up with their offsprings ' changing moods. ith Pa ' passing out nickels and displac ing a violent temper and Ma sew- ing on buttons and tucking in shirts, they gave a perfect picture of disrupted domestic tranquillity and bewilderment. Prudence Darling, a prett heart-breaker, ably taken by Ruth Raby. almost succeeded in winning the heart of Brian, whose part was taken b Paul Kelley. William Dean, taking the part of Dutch, and Lena Poillucci playing Patty pro- vided a nice little romance, while Omar, in the person of Robert Lapurte, stuttered his way through the scenes. During a certain rehearsal for the pla he proved to everyone ' s satisfaction that he would make a good maid I with a little practice.) Elsie Patterson, a rather homely, bespectacled oung lady with an intelligence quotient of a hundred and thirty-nine and a fraction, played by Eileen Crean, was forced upon the company of George Mclntyre, by her busybody mother, Mrs. Patter- son, whose part was well played by Marjorie Mosman.
