(fatuulcuL Stefrb Out In the spring of 1952 the Juniors released their first great production, Grandad Steps Out. Jerry, Grandad in the play, was considered an invalid by Mrs. Morton, his daughter played by Jane. She is very careful of his diet and feeds him soup and crackers. To start the confusion John, as Big Jim Mahoney, returns from out in Arizony. He plans a supper for all his boyhood pals including Grandad Jim helps Grandad sneak out of the house after they have bribed Tilly, the maid play- ed by Donna, to steal Kip's suit for Grandad to wear. Abby Higgins, the nosy old maid across the street played by Sandra, soon knows of the plan and informs Mrs. Morton. Mrs. Morton scoffs at the idea and says her father is asleep on the sofa. It is really Tilly who has also been bribed to cover up with blankets and pretend that she is Grandad. Kip gets a shock when he discovers that the girl he made a date with is really triplets, Lois, Patty, and Shirley, and to make matters worse he has no suit. Kip's sister Betty, played by Joan, and her boyfriend Jack, played by Tom, discover Grandad's disappearance. Thinking he has been kidnapped they call Ted, the detective. While everyone is looking for Grandad he reappears bringing with him three old friends, Pat, Marvin, and Douglas. They have had a gay evening and when Grandad produces a roll of bills that he got from the manager when the chandelier fell on their little party everyone is happy for him. Meanwhile Jim and Abby have discovered they have something in common name- ly, her cake, and he escorts her out the door as the curtain falls. 'rtyene (fanet (faantte On October 21, 1951, the Senior class presented the three-act comedy, Here Comes Charlie. As the play starts everything is going smoothly in the Larry Elliott (Marvin) household. Larry and his Aunt Fanny, played by Sandra, live together and have few worries. Except, of course, the love affair of the maid, Nora, played by Lois, and the Officer Tim McGrill, played by Arthur. Aunt Fanny also worries about her antique vase which she is afraid will be broken. The fun begins when Larry's fiancee, Vivian Smythe-Kersy (Jane), Vivian's mother Mrs. Smythe Kersey (Joan), Mortimer, (Danny), Viv's brother and Aunt Fanny learn that Larry has adopted a hillbilly orphan from the Ozarks. Larry tells his troubles to his best pal, Ted Hartley, played by Dave, and gets nothing but a roar of laughter accompanied by the nickname Papa Larry . Larry feels better when he gets the telegram which says Charlie is coming and he learns at least that it's a boy (he thinks) he has adopted. The great day comes and Charlie (Donna) and her Uncle Aleck Twiggs, played by Jerry, arrive. Charlie turns out to be a girl and everyone is astounded. Of course everything Charlie and Uncle Aleck do is wrong. So finally they leave and go to live in a hotel. Charlie goes off to school for the first time to learn how to be a lady. Mortimer and Ted go to see Charlie quite often and both fall in love with her. About a year later Aunt Fanny and Larry have a birthday party for her and invite everyone, including the Smythe-Kersey's. Charlie comes in a beautiful evening gown, transformed into a lady at last, and Aleck has donned his Sunday best. In the end Aunt Fanny apologizes for the way she had insulted Charlie. Charlie tells Larry that she does not love either Mort or Ted but the man she loves and is going to marry is him. This page sponsored by the Sinclair Service Station 27
