E l0R CLASS PLAY When a man marries, his troubles begin, an old saying once stated. What, then, will happen when a completely likeable, perfectly normal young bachelor by the name of Jimmy Took needs a wife in a terrific hurry to prove to generous Uncle Dan that his monthly checks for the support of jimmy's non-existent bride have been justified? ,This is jimmy's problem when he, Bill Thompson, and Bill's Aunt Ellen get Uncle Dan's telegram that he and his ward, Peggy, are bringing the monthly check in person, so that they can meet the new bride. And what else will happen when, through jimmy's misguided scheming, three imitation brides appear-two of them men dressed as women, and the other his sweetheart, Madge? But this is only the beginning, for Peggy wants to see Bill, and Bill is one of the brides! And Aunt Ellen is definitely interested in Uncle Dan, but so are Mrs. Duvalle Smith and her sister! And who are the mysterious Lady Macbeth and hearty, jolly McDaniel, not to men- tion timid, near-sighted Mr. Oswald, and unsuspecting bill-collector, who is drafted as one of jimmy's brides? Thar was the plot . . . the cast wasn't chosen . . . the scene of the play was undecided since we didn't have our new auditorimn finished . . . but we know ffor certain the play was a success!!! As senior home room advisor . . . Miss Ramaley produced and directed the play . . . as to how many headaches . . . gray hairs . . . and worries . . . she acquired doing the job . . . we can't record here . . . but we do know . . . it would be another good job of play producing for the W. T. H. S. Seniors. 60
