Senior Glass
 To Present Famous Play on March ll

The Palmer High School gradu- ating class of 1855 has selected the comedy, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, for their annual class play.
 Two matinee performances are planned for students, and one evening presentation, the latter to be offered on March II at 8 pm. in the Central School gym nasium. Afternoon performances will be given for the grade stu dents on March 9 and. for senior and junior high school students on March 10. Tickets to the eve ming performance may be purch- ased at either Central School or Palmer High School office. Gen. eral admission tickets will be one dollar; reserved seats $125.
 The play involves two young girls who go abroad to study. Emily to study dancing, and Cor nelia, dramatics. Cornelia's par ents, who are going to Paris, but on a different boat, can't under stand the girls reasoning nor some of their actions. They arrive safe enough, however, after voy- age packed full of laughs and perils.
 Cornelia Skinner is portrayed by Jean Burke and her best friend Emily Kimbrough, by Sylvia Nelson. The roles of Cornelia's parents, Otis Skinner and Mrs Skinner, are taken by Leon Grow CT and Dona McKechnie, respec- lively. As a result of the poor packing ability of the girls, the steward Larry BenttD is bother ed with carrying their many trucks to and fro, throughout the trip.
 The two English girls, Harriet St. John (Carol Colberg) and Winifred Blaugh Neona Lucas), breeze airly in and out, expres- sing their desire for the two Am erican boys in the next cabin, Dick Winters David Ingalls) and Leo McEvoy David McKenzie), both of whom are studying medi- cine in England.
 The dark side is added when the purser (Bi1E Harris) and the stewardess (Carol Wood) check the cabins for reasons they do not want to disclose.
 The admiral (Wesley SteeD gives a helping hand from time to time, and upon leaving ship, the inspector (Jane Kneff) gives the girls a thorough check up or so she thought.
 In Paris, the girls stay at Hotel LaHarve, where the landlady, Madame Elise (Ruby Church, her daughter Therese Deloris Foster) and the window cleaner Ray Winegarner) provide laughs for everyone with their intrusions and stlpposed helpfulness.
 The famous actor Monster De La Croix (Tom Yerbich) comes to help Cornelia, but this only inter est is in her father.
