Senior Class Presents Comedy
in Three Acts

Tryouts are over; and Arlette Dawson, Cheryl Bard, and Dave Freer have been chosen for the leading roles in the Senior Class play, You Can't Take It with You, written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman. The play will be presented on October 27, 28, and 29 at 8 o'clock in the auditorium. Arlette will portray Penny, with Cheryl as Alice (the daughter), and Dave as Grandpa.

This celebrated comedy has a plot inviting to all. At first the Sycamores seem quite mad; but it is not long before the audience begins to realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is furious. In contrast to these happy people are the miserable Kirbys. Tony, the handsome son of the Kirbys, falls deeply in love with the Sycamores' daughter Alice.

Finally, Tony brings his parents to the Sycamores' house. Unfortunately, this happens to be the wrong evening to do such a thing. The shock of the Kirbys, having been served such cheap food, shows Alice that planning to marry Tony would never work out for the best.

The Sycamores find it very difficult to understand Alice's point of view. Tony, however, knowing that the Sycamores are right and that his family is absolutely wrong, will not give up Alice. This is when the fun begins.

The other senior members of the cast are Elizabeth Grange, who portrays Essie; Sue Buthman, who portrays Rheba; Doug Bergman who portrays Paul; Curt Hayward, as DePenna; Steve Lilja, who portrays Ed; and John Powell, who poses as Donald.

Still other members are Dave Flaskamp, who portrays Henderson; Mike DelCampo, who plays Tony; Corky Higgins and Sue Turner, who both portray Gay; Greg Nelson, who portrays Mr. Kirby; Ray Kuntz, as the first man; Gary Grooman, as the second man; Phil Heller, the third man; and Phyllis Van Kranenburgh and Nancy Bobernac, who portray Mrs. Kirby.

Since there were not enough members of the Senior Class who tried out for the play, Bob Connelly, a junior, was chosen to play the part of Boris.

The student directors are Margie Fritz '67 and Sue Glaser '67. They feel that the play has a very good cast who are working hard and are progressing quite well.

"I would like to see underclassmen enjoy this much more. They usually wait until they are seniors before the decide to come to see the play," said Mr. Garth Boyer, director of the play. He also wishes that more boys would find time to become interested and try out for the plays which are presented. There were so many girls who tried out and not enough parts to give them all.

Therefore, Mr. Boyer wishes that there were as many parts as there were girls who tried out for the play. Mr. Boyer also commented that "For ten years this play has been one of the funniest ever written. It is the best American play that has ever been done."

Many seniors are selling tickets to the Senior Class play.

Tickets are on sale in the bookstore and at Maria Schaefer's Music Store in town. Tickets for Thursday night are $.75; Friday flight they are $1 and $1.50; Saturday night they also are $1 and $1.50.

Currently the play, You Can't Take It with You, is being revived on Broadway.
