"SPRING FEVER"
CAST PREPARING
TO J5TAGE PLAY
Junior Class Talent to Ap-
. . pear BefoVe Footlights
r April 23rd
■I The annual presentation of the
■junior class.xlf the High school, which
this year is; entitled appropriately to
the' season;-"Spring Fever," presents
many; students with, splendid opportunities to display their dramatic tal»
ents.
'..? Harold Brooks, who was very successful in his role last fall in the F.
F. A. nlny, "Aunt Tillie Goes To
Town," has the part of ^n art student afc Brookfield College. He gets
himself into all sorts of trouble by
mistaking a Mr. Purcell, who -is really
a patron of the school, for a model
who is to pose for a picture that he,
Vic Lewis, wants to paint of a Russian Bolshevik.
William Leosh, who also was outstanding in the P. F, A. play, carries
the role of a chemistry student named
Ed. Burns in "Spring Fever", Being
a chemistry student is fine, but when
Ed turns bis room into laboratory for
research in the field of high explosives some extremely high tensions are
created.
George Parent turns his talents
athletics to dramatics as he assumes
the role of Howard Bryant, .a senior at
Brookfield who has to turn out a
zoology term paper in twenty-four
hours if he is to graduate. Howard has
been put* through school by an aunt,
Maude Carey, who arrives on - the
scene iu. the person- of Ruth- Sehug to
find that If her nephew is to-, m&ke
the grade someone must lend a hand.
Therefore Aunt Maude directs a/earn-
paign against the,, jspology instructor,
Professor Bean. Ed Burdo takes >the
part of the professor so' has th-a
proposition of withstanding the onslaught of this overly zealous aunt..
A great opportunity'"for character
acting i3 provided for the.person who
plays the role of Mrs. Spangler, the
landlady of the rooming house. Leona
Dobson was awarded fhe"honor of unr
•dergoing the tor'turesof hearing explosives go off in one of her ropms
and of trying to keep up with, the mad
antics of a crowd of college students.
Because nd college scene would be
complete without some lovely and
vivacious coeSds around, Glenn Hughes,
the author of "Spring Fever," has
created the roles of Lou Herron, a
journalism student, which is to be
played by Betty Sutton; of Anne
■Purcell, whose charms account for
Howard Bryant's troubles in zoology,
taken by Elaine Frey; and of Vivian
George, who is the inspiration of art
student Vic Lewis, in which Evelyn
Olson lifts been cast.
Anne Purcell's father, played by
Don Spi'ague, and her mother, who
will he interpreted by Coloma Leitnerr
appear on the scene just at-the right
moment to cause many complications,
Coloma took the role of one of the
Aiirit Tillies in the F. F. A. play on
less than twelve hours notice. With
normal time*' for preparation _ she
should give an even better peVfor
manee." To complete the list of characters there Is the bewildered college
president who never catches up with
the swiit march of events. "Chester
Richard will play this jiart.
Nearly everyone in the junior class
tried out for one or more of these
parts. This enabled director John
Speare to select a cast that includes
the best talent arranged to the best
advantage. Rehearsals' are in full
swing for the production date of
"Spring Fever" is April 23, less than
two week3 away.
