Spring Fever, the play which is to
be presented Tuesday evening by the
Junior class In the high school au.dit-
orium, is a fast-moving hilarious story
of college, life.. The entire action of
the play takes, place In the" living-
room of a rooming house for boys that
is. kept by Mrs, Spangler. The time of
the play is late- May Just before J3oni-

The story is "concerned vjith the
many and frantic efforts th'af itfe being made to enable; Howard Brant to

Slim because a bad ,-jjase of spring
fever has prevented-'him IreW fjulsk-

Howard's Aunt Maude,, who has
been paying the bills for Howard's
college education, tries t6 help him
by vamping the zoology: instructor.
An art-student classmate inakes an attempt io save the situation by forgiug
a paper promising the school a new
science building as a gift from a
Weathly Mr. Purcell if Howard is allowed to graduate. But vierf-( fraud Is
discovered and bells placed in as bad,

AtCuffd the inaitif'plot'mauy interesting secondary situations have been
very cleverly formed by the author,
Glenn Hughes. Howard has a second
problem in that he Wants to hold the
love of Mr. Purcell's lovely daughter,
Anna, even while he is in the attempted forgery of that good man's
signature. Chemistry student Ed.
Burns keeps tlie tension high with
many loud explosions in his "home
laboratory" which he dignifies by the
Latin Term Sanctum Sanctorum,
but which his friends have renamed
stinkum stinktorum.
Laugh follows laugh as the story
reaches its climax and .the problems
of Howard find a solution just when
they seem unsolvable. Psuedo deathbed scenes, nerve-racking explosions,
mistaken identities, the antics of life
as lived by students in a coeducational
college, tho troubles of young love,
unite in this play to ensure every
member of the. audience many thrills
and much pleasure.
Director John Speare reports that
the cast of the play is demonstrating
fine ability. Production problems
