SENIOR CLASS PLAY THE CALAMITY KIDS On Wednesday evening, December 16, 1942, the Senior Class presented its annual play to a capac- ity audience at the Town Hall. The scene was laid in the old farmhouse of Emily and Hezekiah Hos- kins who were sheltering the orphaned twins Midge and Mickey, Brad Rivers, and the mysteri- ous Bonnie Blue! The audience shook with laughter when villain- ous Gideon Garvey roller skated across the stage to fall into the welcoming arms of the gossipy old maid Clara Clagg. There were several outstanding scenes in the play including the duel between Bonnie and Brad, Elmer's fright at the sight of a mouse, and the argument over Brad which caused Bonnie to chase glamorous Lorraine out of the room. In addition to comedy, there was the mystery about where Bonnie Blue had come from, who she really was, and why she had left home. The story 24 concerned the mortgage due on the Hoskinses' home and the fate of the orphaned twins. Gideon's attempt to make Bonnie his wife by threatening to foreclose the mortgage if she re- fused, failed when Brad, whom Bonnie really loved, found a stamp for his collection which brought enough money to save the mortgage and keep the twins from having to live with their aunt and uncle. Miss Jean Smalley, of the high school faculty, spent tireless weeks coaching the cast, as did Margaret Minihan, who served as prompter. The cast was as follows: Bonnie Blue ..... Brad Rivers ....
