Ralph Werner Director: Miss Barbara Price ff ' ll Repeat Performance The play MUST go onl That was our motto that horrible Friday night as we plowed through knee-deep snow to get to the grade school. We had slaved for weeks. Each night after supper the cast and our director, Miss Price, would be rehearsing, Bill Eberhardt and lim Grogan, the bang boys in charge of sound effects, had scoured the town for shotgun shells for the explosions. Fritz Reimann and his loyal crew had put in long hours on the set. Then Friday morning it started to snow. By evening we were in the midst of one of the worst blizzards in years. And we were presenting a play called Spring Fevernl The play did go on for the handful of loyal people that braved the elements to see it. No one forgot his lines or entrances: the explosions came at the right time. ln fact, everything went off like clockwork, Best of all, we decided to present the play again the next Tuesday for those people who had been detained by the weather. This time Mother Nature was on our side, and the cast played to a full house. The play was a college farce. Time, June, a few days before gradu- ation, Place, Mrs. Spangler's fBarbara Zieglefsl boarding house, Ac- tion? There was plenty! Howard Brant fBob Yahr, is trying to finish a term paper for Professor Bean Uerry Vogelsang,. Vic Lewis fPhilip Schowalter, is trying to paint a poster and complicates matters by mis- taking Mr. Purcell fl..er0y Bruesewitzl for his model. Mr. Purcell is in reality a wealthy man who had promised the college a generous endow- ment, which he retracts when manhandled by the boys who think he is Vic's model. Then Anne Purcell fcarol Hartyl and Vivian George fsue Cooley, step in and decide to straighten out matters, with an elaborately faked death scene, Ed Burns fDave Borchardtl as a chemistry student kept the audience awake with frequent explosions. Lou Herron fKitty Gadowj dashes in and out trying to lure Ed away from his explosions and to attend the Commencement Ball. Mrs. Purcell fPhyllis Wentorfl makes a nuisance of herself looking for her husband. While Howard's Aunt Maude fCarol Sauer, has poor Professor Bean in a state trying to soften him up about Howards term paper, President Dixon fRalph Werner, searches for the boys who mistreated Mr. Purcell. The whole action made a fine play. For the success of the play the senior class is thankful to Miss Price, the director, and to Miss Miller who took charge of the costuming and make-up.
