DRAMA Joseph Kesselring's Arsenic and Old Lace , was a smashing hit when the Wy'east Student Body pre- sented it to the public on November l9th and 20th. The melodrama about the two sweet old ladies who, for a hobby, relieved people of the burdens of this world with a little arsenic, has been a constant pleasure to all ob- servers. Shocked, is a mild word for the impact on the younger generation when it is discovered that their aunts, both old maids, have already put 12 men in blissful rest. As the play progresses, Jonathan Brewster and Dr. Einstein, who are hiding from the law, come home and add another corpse to the steadily growing collection in the cellar. Anne Carr and Alice Absten had the leading roles as the two maids. Jack Donaldson, as Mortimer Brew- ster: Eugene Bol es, as Teddy Brewster: and Dan Steward, as Dr. Einstein, all gave outstanding per- tormances. The Senior class play Time Out for Ginger, was presented on April 29th and 30th. Alice Absten had the title role as Ginger with Mary Jo Smullin and Jack Donald- son in lead roles. Good-by Aunties. Well, I ccm't better my record now, but neither can you--at least I have that satisfaction. The score stands even, twelve to twelve. .JN Doctor-Hto my dear dead brother To the West! There's your danger! There's your enemy! Japan! 1
