SENIOR PLAY The Class of '36 was "the talk of the town" in their most successful dramatic venture. Even though the Junior Play, 'The Prince of Liars", had brought much laughter from the audience, the Senior Play exceeded it by far in the way of hand claps, hand shal,es and handing out money.
In this "comedy of errors", the plot centered around Ethel Simmons, enacted by popular Frances Reese, whose main objective was marriage. Charles Crothers played the paint manufacturer excellently; Sam Warburl'on tool, the part of the "lifeless" business admirably> and George Hunt successfully enacted the "dandy". Thelma Bailey portrayed the socially ambitious mother, Hattie. Her sentimental maid. Annie, was played by Louise Meyer. "Lithping" Barbara Baldwin as Lila Wilson, and "chattery" Mildred Walch as Sally Otis, drew the audience to much applause. The temperamental. raging Donald Swift was portrayed by Donald Weltmer, a wit in athlete's garb. His actress fiancee, Letty Lythe, was portrayed by the high school artist, Sylvia Macdonald. Humor was provided by the appearance of Cleveland Taber as the taxi driver, and Mary Hager as the dancing teacher, Sadie Bloom. The old, yet romantic, Mrs. Jackson, was taken by Helen Brittain, She, in turn, introduced the town gossips, "The Girls," Jean Burnet, Dorothy Blythe, Florence Carr<~ll. Elise Dallas, Helen Rohr. Eleanor McCarty, Eileen O'Brien and Dorothy Songster. This play exemplified the fact that in dramatic, as well as scholastic, work you have to have co-operation to succeed.
