fine REPUTATION
OF SENIOR PLAYS
AT MHS UPHELD
Class of 1916 Superb
In "And Came The Spring"
Here Friday Evening

Marysville people have come to
expect, through the years, some
thing outstanding when the SEN
ior class play is presented, and
they were not disappointed as
, members of the Class of 1916
staged And Came the Spring"
Friday night.
Always, Miss Ferne Mills, prin-
cipal and director of the plays has
shown unusually good judgment in
selecting her casts. This year, in
particular, demonstrated this abili-
ty with every boy and girl out
standing in his role.
AS result, the delightful COM
edy was realistically portrayed for
a completely Sold-out house. The
youthful actors made their parts
seem real, living persons, rather
than mere characters on stage.
To single out any one member
of the cast for comment would be
unfair to the others; they were all
excellent in their parts. Every one
who saw the play declared it to be
one of the best stories ever given
by an M. II. S. senior class, and
at the same time, one of the most
expertly done.
And Came the Spring" was
written by Marryane and Joseph
Hayes. The story is built around
the 'teen-age children of the JEFF
frey Hartman family, and the
troubles arising from the adoles-
cent love affairs. How the 15-year-
old Midge Hartman gets her whole
family and all their friends into
| trouble through her SchemingS to
steal her sisters boy friends, and
then plots with equal cunning to
smooth everything up again, makes
for a highly entertaining two
hours.
In the cast were:
Beverly Kennedy as, Mrs. Louise
i Hartman; Gordon Snider as JEFF
| frey Hartman; Shirley Brandt as
Virginia Hartman; Suzanne En-
| gard as Midge Hartman; Noel
Howard as Elliott Hartman; June
and Joan Foley as Edna, the maid;
Russell Boerger as Clancy, the
| gardener; Don Smith as Buzz
Lindsay, in love with Virginia;
Barbara Hush as Carolyn Webster,
Virginia's sophisticated friend
from the city who has all the boys
at her feet; Dan Dayton as Keith
Nolan, the suave lad in whom Vir-
ginia thinks she is interested, but
who, in turn, likes Carolyn; Nanci-
anna Bishop as Gabby Allen, one of
| Midge's friends; Eugene Nicol as
Freddie North, Gabby's "one and
only; Louise Weaver as Christine
| Myers, Virginia'S athletically-in-
clined girl friend; Sara Jean
Wright as Mrs. Cecilia Fields, Mrs.
Hartman's rival for first prize in
the flower show; Richard Belville
as Mr.. Link Fields, to whom Mr..
Hartman wants to sell a fleet of

tors and dentists to establish Of
fees in all but highly restricted

ing Commission at its quarterly

quire the applicant to file with his
application an unconditional state
ment recognizing the temporary
nature of the Office use.

as part of their own residences, it
was said, but a doctor may not have
an office in some one else's residence
in residential area.
Another proposed regulation
change would permit bakeries, dye
ing and cleaning works or iaundries
employing more than Ave persons,
to be established in a first CONNER
cial district, provided the board of
zoning adjustment approves. A zon-

mercial districts at the discretion
Of the board.

Before Charter Action

Assurances that he would not
attempt to name the members OF
the proposed District home rule

lie hearings on his bill came last

gested that each witness at the
forthcoming hearings be asked
about the procedure on selection of
the charter commission members.
Earlier, Senator McCarran, who
is chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee and of its subcommittee in
charge of the new home rule
plan, had conferred with Wilbur

people of the District should be
consulted on this matter; and ]
meant then, and mean now, all OF
the people of the District who are
sufdciently interested to attend a

this point.
Il am hopeful that through dis

that when hearings are scheduled
