REHEARSALS FOK THE JUNIOR CLASS PLAY have been
underway for weeks now, and "Maudje and tlie Opposite Sex" is
rapidly shaping up.for its run next week, April 19 and 20, Salin^.
At left, above, Maudie's mother and father, played hy Jim
Knight and Norma Taylor, check over their daughter's mail, as wor
ried parents are apt to db. The next scene shows that they possibly^
have well-justified worries, with Maudie, played hy Nancy Keveling^
caught on the~lounge with her summertime sweetheart John 35n3jf
dicott, played hy Tom Schumaier In the next shot, one of Maudie!_fc~
friends describes a flaming romance in her past . . and at the
right, the Masons typefy romance to its later stages with a casual
peck at the breakfast table
One handicap in rehearsals has been the cold weather in re
cent weeks. The play taljes place at the beach in the summertime,
and the cast spends much of the acting time in bathing suits. But
as Mrs. HasweH's overcoat indicates, a dress rehearsal anytime dur--
Ing recent days would have wound up with the entire cast in deep
freeze. ■
