See. it says hero! Gordy. Candace :md Runny. Carol. Margie. prmnpter. Miss McGee. Up goes the curtain on the Class play, June Mad. as the seniors see the object of their sweat and toil be- come a real, living thing. The play, although delayed because of choice. was none the worse for it by the time of its presentation. Its story is that of a teen-age boy and girl. The girl has momentary ambitions of being a woman of the world and falls in love with a young visitor who leads her on. She is hurt when she finds that he's not serious and in the end turns to her teen-age companion. The play was directed by Miss Ione McGee. paw Penny Wood ............
