Class Presents
"Career Angel"
By Shirley Sexton
The last play of the '46 season,
presented by the play production
class, is a great success; The three-
act comedy written by Gerard M.
Murray, is well produced under
the able direction of Fred Bush.
The setting for "Career Angel"
is a Catholic school. The school
has been placed under mortgage
due in one month; then one of the
students finds an original document of Jefferson's. This -indirectly
gets the school out of debt. The
play deals primarily with the lives
of the nuns in a Catholic school.
Beverly Marzolf does a superb
job enacting the part of Sister
M^ry Gregory. Others deserving
mention are: Jane Goff, Iris Wilcox, Joan Muntz, Jean Chisholm,
Gwen Gwinn and Virginia Smith.
However, the whole cast does a
fine job and all deserve credit.
The play, which was produced
this week Monday and Tuesday,
■Will be presented again in the auditorium at 8:15 tonight.
