Senior Class Play “SPRING FEVER” • The day before Commencement things really began to happen! As Mrs. Spang- ler, who keeps the rooming house, said, “I never know if they’re in or out. They come and go so fast you couldn’t keep track of them if you were a paid spy.” Ed Burns turned his room into a chem- istry lab, where he experimented with a substitute for dynamite; Bic Lewis, the art student, set up his easel in the living room; and Howard Brant had to get in a zoology paper by three o’clock if he intended to graduate. By the united ef- forts of Howard’s Aunt Maude, his heart-interest, Anne Purcell, and his friends, he finally received his credit. The play was fast, furious, and funny with loud explosions now and then from Ed’s “stinkum stinktorum”. After an ex- citing day of spring fever, the play end- ed with everyone ready for the Com- mencement Ball. The presentation of “Spring Fever” by the seniors was one of the lighlights of the year.

“NEW FIRES” Mr. Santry’s fear that his family had lost their grasp on the fundamental val- ues of life led him to undertake the bold plan of taking them to his small inher- ited farm in the Missouri Ozarks. Upon their arrival, their father announced that they must work, and consterna- tion reigned. Olive, the eldest daughter, feigned sickness in a desperate attempt to convince her father that she must be allowed to return to Chicago. Mary Marshall, a neighbor girl, visiting Phyl- lis and Billy, became ill with scarlet fever and the whole family was placed under quarantine. The result of the young doctor’s many calls was that he and Olive fell in love. Dick and his young wife, Eve, worked hard during the period of quarantine studying fruit and poultry raising. Their efforts were rewarded when Mr. Santry promised them the homestead after a three-year probationary period to determine their ability to make a success of farming. The happiness of Olive and Dr. Gray was assured when they united. “New Fires” proved a big hit when it was successfully presented by the jun- iors. • THE CAST Lucinda Andrews — Dorothy Babbitt.
