Senior Class Play “THE FUNNY BRATS.” Dick and Harriet, high school youngsters, are infuriated because their widowed mother, Mrs. Sylvia Gresham, has allowed their older brother, Tom, to become the dictator of the family. They secretly send Tom’s picture to a wealthy widow, Mrs. Gwynett Gadwood, whose advertisement for a husband has appeared in a matrimonial paper. Dick and Harriet hope Mrs. Gadwood will marry Tom and take him far, far away, so they can have some freedom and run their mother to suit themselves. Sylvia, tired of her children’s constant bickering, decides they need a father. Since Loren Gresham, her bachelor brother-in-law, with whom she is in love, is too bashful to propose, she becomes en- gaged to the crabbed old widower, Whaley McWhorter, who believes in training children as he trains mules. Dick and Harriet, decide to get rid of him by fair means or foul. They lead him to believe their mother has intentionally poisoned him after she got a huge diamond ring out of him. Mrs. Gad- wood arrives from the matrimonial agency in search of Tom. Dick and Harriet, fearing Tom’s fury, try to get rid of Mrs. Gadwood by telling her Tom is engaged to the dumb maid, Aurora Pike. “Boogorface Boggs. an amateur wrestler, who is Aurora’s boy friend, threatens to murder Tom. The youngsters tell Boggs that Whaley is Tom; he promptly jumps on Whaley and twists him all out of shape! Dick and Harriet finally get their bashful uncle to propose to Sylvia, thinking if he becomes their stepfather he will allow them to do exactly as they please. But Loren makes them understand that they are to be very strictly disciplined. The brats lose their battle after all. PLAY CAST Harriet Gresham, Sylvia’s impulsive young daughter ..............
