SENIOR CLASS PLAY Before a full house on December 17, the Senior Class staged a three act comedy. The first act opens in the Adams' cottage at Pine Lake. Nancy Adams CJoan Cunninghaml, a retiring girl, has recently graduated with scholastic honors from high school. She is se- cretly in love with a popular college freshman, Ken Hunt CSidney Hermanl. Mr. and Mrs. Adams KRobert. Marshall and Sally Harperl soon discover that the Hunt family occupies the next-door cottage. Ken's candid sister, Judy lRosemary Garriganl, urges Nancy to plan a campaign to capture Ken. Deciding to get her man, Nancy hires Larry Marshall CStanwood Fordl, a complete stranger, to pose as his artist fiance. Meanwhile, Phyllis Burk KNatalie Fontainel, a youthful newspaper reporter, arrives at the resort. Complications arise when Phyllis insists on interviewing Larry and Mrs. Adams thinks she should display one of his paintings. To save herself, Nancy honestly borrows from the gift shop a painting for the interview. In short order she discovers that Larry and A 0 Phyllis are engaged,that neither Knows the other is present,and the theft of the painting is out. In desperation, Nancy asks Miss Caroline Green lJoan Brousseaul, who has arrived for a talk with Mr. Adams, to return the picture. To add to her troubles, upon meeting Frances Terry CBarbara Scahilll, secretary to Ken's college professor, Nancy mistakes her for Judy's govern- ess. Fearful of competition for Ken's affec- tion, Nancy tells the young lady that Sam Hunt KUrban Bellrosel, Ken's father, is insane. After Sam Hunt is taken into custody as a dangerous character by Officer Pluck CRobert Abell poor Kiss Green caught with the painting, and Larry poisoned by Judy's candy, the climax of Nancy's affairs is reached. Needless to say, Phyllis and Larry meet again, and hen decides Nancy is anything but quiet. Much credit is due Miss Gilbert, the coach, and Kathleen Sullivan,prompter. Earle Wassmouth, as stage-manager, and his shop crew made possi- ble a colorful stage for the action.
