Senior Class Play An average modern living room was the scene for the play Backwoods Romeo. presented November 19, by the senior class. The play opened on an exciting note with an argument between La Reina, the Spanish maid, and the forewoman, who had come with her helpers to repossess the furniture. Larry McNeil and his friend Rex Simonds had just returned from a hunting trip to Canada, and came back with quite a discovery—a handsome, scientific hermit named Romeo, who didn’t have any idea what women were. This proved interesting, as Larry's two sisters Billie and Connie were anything but shy. To add to the situation, Larry had to make a scientific discovery before he could collect an inheritance, and he brought Romeo in the hope that he would make the discovery. Events moved rapidly with Romeo scaring everyone out of his wits with a bomb and then telling them it really wasn’t a scientific discovery because it was a failure. Romeo finally saved the day with a cold exterminator, and Rex received $2,000 by accidently saving a man’s life in an automobile accident. This made for a happy ending with Rex and Billie, Connie and Romeo, and Larry and his girlfriend Orpha, looking very much in love. A few other amusing incidents occurred when Larry's Aunt Rachael mistook the forewoman for Romeo, when a mouse ran up Rex's pant leg, and when Connie taught Romeo how to kiss.
