®hp ^exifipea Vol. XXXXI No. 6 LEXINGTON SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, LEXINGTON, N. C. April 8, 1964 New Lexhipep Members Announced FRENCH DEPARTMENT PRESENTS MOLIERE'S "LE MEDECIN LUI" Rip-roaring comedy burst forth April 2, when the French Department presented “Le Medecin Malgre Lui” by Molie're. This seventeenth century play has been given thousands of times all over the world, but still remains “tops” in entertainment. Roger Price portrayed Sganarelle, “the doctor in spite of himself.” His nagging wife who proves responsible for all of his troubles, is Martine, played by Linda Kirkman. A very nosey neighbor, Robert, will be Bill Bingham. Three valets who are looking for a fine doctor for their master, are Thomas, Valere, and Lucas; played by Richard Sink, Gary Hodge, and Ken York. Harold Cranford is Geronte, a rich man who needs a doctor for his sick daughter Lucinde, Sue Beck. The usual nosey maid, Jacqueline, is played by Hetty Parker. Leandre, Andy Aycock, is the young man who wants to marry Lucinde. Betty Hemphill plays Berthe, an old lady who is hunting for a doctor for her sick husband, and Sarah Jo Lohr is her daughter Francois. Action' was under way from the very first. With the opening of the curtain, Sganarelle is singing to the top of his voice and enjoying his bottle. Martine appears determined to snatch away the bottle and make her husband live the way she wants him to live. After a heated argument, Sganarelle beats Martine when Robert comes in to the rescue. Intending to help Martine, Robert finds he only gets her wrath for sticking his nose into a family conference. Martine, eager to have revenge for the cruel beating tells the three valets, that are looking for a doctor, that Sganarelle is a very talented doctor but first has to be thoroughly beaten before he will admit it. Hence, Sganarelle gets a beating and readily admits to anything to stop the blows. Taken to tlie house of Geronte, Sganarelle causes quite an uproar with his unruly medical practices and his frirting with the maid. Things really start hopping when Geronte decides to hang the imposter Sganar elle. Between acts a number of songs and dance's was given. Many of the well known songs were recognized by all. Al though the songs and the play were given in French, they could be easily understood. The French plays have always proved to be highly entertaining and enjoyed by both young and old. Jimmy Pliilpott, fcusiass manager; Jack Palmer, editor; John McWhorter, acoistant editor.
