THE VOICE OF COOPER HI
Senior Play Date
Nears, Tickets Put
On Sale Thursday
'Growing Pains, the senior
play which is to be presented on
Friday night, April 21, in the
Cooper High School1 auditorium,
is one of the most outstanding
plays ever to be produced by any
high school. The play which will
erouse the sympathy of the au-
Jience is a story of youth which
is comical and tragic by turns.
George Mclntire, enacted by
Elgene Robinsom, insists a car is
not a luxury but an absolute nec-
essity. After some time he trades
a rifle to the stuttering Omar,
played by Harold Hart, for a strip-
ped car. What dire results are
brought on by this simple trade
can only be imagined.
Terry. Oeorg ’s sister, portray-
ed by Louise Brice, spends her
time fussing with her brother,
to grow up i- a single
trying
ndght,
and worrying about her

Senior Activities
The senior activities have be-
gun with a bang, and from the
looks of things will keep on bang-
ing until the end of school.
Perhaps the most important
thing at the present moment is
the senior play with its much pub-
licized cast. To give you some
idea of what to expect I have
chosen typical sayings from the
various characters.
Professor Mclntire—“What is
this younger generation coming
to?”
Mrs. Mclntire—“I believed in
you children until you disappoint-
ed me.”
Terry Mclntire—“Oh dear, be-
ing grown up Ls so boring.”
George Mclntire*—“How did I
It "tow Prudeucc was a woman of
boy friend, Brian, played by By- j affairs?”

whose part is played by Billie think Georgy Porgy is frightfully
Chance, is a vamp from the large
city who is giving Terry and the
other girls in the neighborhood
serious competition.
Not only have George and Brian
fallen for Prudence, but Dutch,
played by C. 0. McCullough, finds
her intriguing even though he is
going steady with Patty, enacted
by Paulita Todd.
Much hilarity is furnished by
Elsie Patterson^ portrayed by
Jayne Magee. Her mother, played
by Rata Carrington, proudly in-
forms people that Elsie has ster-
ling qualities. George admits as
much, but “What a face,” he
ila.
r. and Mrs. Mclntire, played
by Edwin Earl He lion and Faye
Pickering, are completely mysti-
fied at the sudden change for the
worse that their children
taken.
Jean Kathryn Phillips as
Sophie, thl maid, decides that
she Ls working in a madhouse
when George hits a traffic offi-
cer, played by Raymond Horn.
Hal, played by Glen Keeling,
and Pete, played by Doyle Small-
wood, aren’t particularly disturb-
ed by anything—t heir only
thought is having a good time.
Addie Glenn Thomas as Jane,
and Muriel Flanary as Miriam,

Elsie—“I have sterling quali-
ties! I have never been in a rum-
i ble seat a day in my life.”
Brian—“I like a girl to be nat-
ural."
Dutch—“I don’t like to g>o

Prudence.”
Hal—“Don’t tell that cop any-
thing.”
Pete—“I’m going to be an
atheist when I grow up.”
Omar—“S-s-stouttering’g a t-t-t-
t-terrible calami-calami habit.”
Jane—“Let’s hide Georgie’s
trousers under the pillow.”
Miriam—“Did you see the way
she carried him oif.
Sophie—“Mrs. Mclntire, Gao.

Patty—“Just let me get my

j time me.”
Vivian—“Just watch the boys
fall when I smile at them.”
Officer—“Are you kids trying
to make a monkey out of me?”
Mrs. Patterson—“T here is
nothing wrong with my daughter.
Don’t you realize that Elsie has
an intelligence quota of a hun-
dred and thirty-nine and a frac-
tion?”
All things considered, the sen-
ior play seems to be headed for a
grand success. Not only is it
different, but

EDITORIAL
The Money Is Used
Again the high school, through
the senior class, is making its ap-
peal to the city merchants to buy
advertising space in the program
booklet for the senior play.
The hearty response of mer-
chants is appreciated by the class,
but it should also be appreciated
by the entire citizenship of the
town and community. The money
received from the Rale of this ad-
vertising is not used purely for
class affairs. It is left by the
class to the school for the pur-
chase of needed equipment which
regular school funds cannot pur-
.ebsae. ___ ____________________
In the past bulletin boards, a
trophy case, shrubbery, and most I Kyi*. Atkin, and Mrs. Cara Price
recently, stage equipment
been purchased.
At present more stage equip-
ment is needed, but perhaps most
of all, a new piano should be pur-
chased. Whatever this money is
spent for, it is not wasted. Those
merchants who have not yet
bought a space in this booklet will
therefore realize that their mon-
ey is really going for a worthy
purpose in addition to their own
advertisement.
