The play netted the class a handsome profit as the auditorium was packed both evenings. A modern stage set the background for the hilarious adventures of Eddie, a teen-aged boy, who wanted to become a crooner. Darrell Pope, as Eddie Barry, imagining that he was a famous singer, caused a sensation when he crooned into a tea strainer representing a mike . Perhaps the most realistic scene of the play was the quarrel between Mother and Father Barry portrayed by Mary Lou Judd and Bob Hefty. As one lady in the audience commented, It seemed just like home! The entire class is to be complimented on a performance that no one in the class of '48 will forget. Clarence Murphy, our director, was that essential cog which every play needs. His help and patience were appreciated by everyone. ,Cr Ky K 3

Senior Play Spring Again was the three act comedy chosen by the Senior Class for presentation on November 13 and 14, 1947. The successful ticket sales gave the cast a full house to play to both evenings. The plot of the play centered around the efforts of Nell Carter, portrayed by Mary Lou Judd, to free her husband, Halstead, played by Bob Hefty, from the domineering memory of his father, a Civil W'ar general. Avis Hefty, as a gum-chewing, inquisitive maid, made her frequent entrances something to look forward to. The support- ing cast turned in a performance that was more than outstanding. The staging was modern with the general's pictures, swords, and flags occupying the limelight. Mr. Murphy, our director, was again on the job helping us to present a play that was tops with everyone.
