Janie Maxwell-Mother ---------- ---Donna Jones-Shirley Fisher ma Q . . IF MOTHER ONLY KNEW The final dramatic production of the year was pre- sented on the stage of the gymnasium on Thursday and Fri- day, April 8 and 9, by the Junior Class. This play, a 3 act farce, entitled If Mother Only Knew, is a recent composition written by'5onaId Fayton. The action of the entire play takes place in the Maxwells' living roonu The time is the twentieth wed- ding anniversary of the Maxwells. The mother is sure Dad has forgotten the anniversary and bursts into tears when he is late for dinner. The children save the day however, by making plans about which Mother never does know. Flowers are ordered by the doting children and Father catches on that something special is going on. But one bouquet too many arrivesg it is from Dr. Gooch, a former college pal of Mrs. MaIwell's. Just what Mother doesn't know makes the plot of a fast moving realistic play. The band gave a pre-curtain concert and furnished numbers between the acts. Frank Bartram, president of the class, in behalf of the cast and the junior class presented Miss Henry with a beautiful memiorial for her assistance. The gift was the ozen red roses and a beautiful polished and alumlni tray and a pair of scatter pins.
