Her father, the doctor, her chum Dodo, her sister Flora Lee, the maid, Cleota, and the culture crazed Miss Thaxter are all victims of Tom- my’s scheme to make everyone happy.

SENIOR GLASS PLAY “SPRING GREEN The Seniors had the opportunity to present the comedy, “Spring Green” under the direction of Miss Helen Schubert. Nina Cassell (Betty Bussman), is the mother of two girls, Scottie (Rosemary erner), who is full of vitality and tomboyish tricks, and her fifteen year old sis- ter Tony (Bernice Bussman), who is just the opposite. Tony’s date with Dunk Doyle (Oran Allvin) is lost to Pinkie, (Marion Wol- fram), who has had a fight with her date. Bing Hulchkins (Bob Rowe). Scottie’s war effort is hunting for junk while her grandfather’s (Bob Haf- fele) is knitting. Pinkie and Scottie make plenty of trouble for the cook, Mrs. Rumble (Peggy Slothower).

Dr. Blodgett (Don Cullen) comes to tell the major that his son has solved the earth worm problem and Officer Ryon (Bradford Zipse) has a voice in the pro- cedi ngs that ensue.
