First Production
Of The Year
To Star Juniors
Junior actors and actresses ol
the Black Masque Club will present
“Our Miss Brooks” to the public
Friday, November 30, 8:00 p.m.
The play, the first production of
the year, is directed by Mrs. James
Brown, Jr., sponsor of the club.
Seventeen hard-working juniors
form the cast. The cast of char
acters includes the following: Miss
Brooks, an always - getting - into-
trouble English teacher. Sue Under
wood; Hugo Longacre, the coach,
Nat Kirkland; Miss Finch, Ibba
Wilson; Mr. Wadsworth, Andy
Cook; Miss Audubon, Kay Comeli-
us; Jane, Mary Henderson; Rhon
da, Evelyn Morton; Elsie, Linda
Stonestreet; Ted, Paul Ellis; Elaine,
Sherry Talbert; Sylvia, Laura
Henderson; Stanly, Tony Almond;
Doris, Frances Trivette; Faith, Sher-
ie Kelley; Mary, Barbara Furr; Mar-
tion, Eddie Talbert; and Mrs. Allen,
Melissa Beam.
Committee chairmen for the play
are Nancy Ross, lightning; officers
of Black Masque, publicity; Tony
Almond, scenery; junior class of
ficers, Ticket and program; and An
ita Wall, make-up.
“Our Miss Brooks” is a three-
act comedy about a well-liked
teacher who has plenty of troubles,
which she escapes by dreaming
about her vacation. Miss Brooks
sees that the coach is the man for
her when she finds he owns a sail
boat and has a surprising knowl
edge of Caribbean areas. When
Miss Brooks is asked to present
the school play, and the coach’s
star athlete gives up the team to
play the leading boy’s part, a
battle royal develops. To make
matters worse, the daughter of the
school board president is determin
ed to play the leading role in the
play. She reads the lines so poor
ly that Miss Brooks gives the part
to an attractive “nobody.” This
causes the principal to go into a
frenzy of worry. One complication
builds on another, with Miss
Brooks’ private and public prob
lems hopelessly intertangled. In
the end, as usual in a comedy,
everything turns out for the best.
