The Clare High School dramatics
class has chosen a three-act play,
"No More Homework", by John
Henderson to be presented March
18 and 19 at 8:00 in the high school
auditorium.
Probably every high school student has dreamed of being teacher
for a day. "No More Homework"
is the colorful account suggested
by a newspaper story of what actually happens when circumstances propel three, students into the
roles of principal, vice-president,
and school secretary at Ames
High School. After many amusing
happenings complications are convincingly resolved in the end.
Interesting bits about the parts
taken, and the members of the
cast: Joyce Jones plays Miss
Goodin, a, mathematics teacher—
not as mean as she seems.
Joyce Richardson takes the part
of Mrs. Clendenning, the science
teacher who is sensative to heat.
Rita Beck is seen as Miss Ogilvie,
the English teacher and drama
coach.
Chris Smith plays Mr. Harper,
the history teacher—a confirmed
bachelor. Fred Haggart has the
part of coach Guthrie, breezy and
congenial. Gale Soules has another
leading part-r-that of Mr. Lund-
quist, the long-suffering, ambitious
principal.
Helen Cook is Pamela Jones-
Capable, conscientious, and well-
liked. Bill Drake plays "Buzz".
Bailey-^-Pamela's boy friend with
more freckles than brains. Sally
Gillespie "is Shalimar Ames—A
trouble maker; good looking; overindulged. - ■■■..--.■
Gloria Milholin is "Midge" Murphy—Fond of rumors and bubble
gum. Eldean White takes the part
of 'Faversham Lightly—A freshman; slow and sleepy. Alice Walter plays Tallulah Ploetz— The
high school's gift to the theatre.
Earl Robinette is Ronald .Sas-
soon — Handsome, over-confident
basketball star. Lois Colmus plays
Miss Dill—School secretary; acidulous, but efficient.
Charley Zeiter is "Tick" Tok—
The Napoleonic janitor. Carolyn
Carter plays Mrs. Ratchet—The
cleaning woman. Bob Murdoch is
Elmer B. Ames—Shalimar's father; pompous -attorney.
