Audience Pleased By Snikpoh Play Humor of 'Growing up' Is Appreciated Most by Parents Present By MAXINE BUREN "Growing Pains' the Snikpoh club's three act comedy was pre sented at the high school audi torium last night to a large and appreciative audience. Although a great part of the audience was composed of stu dents, the parents present were much more understanding of the humorous incidents in the life of adolescent Bob and Terry Mcln tyre, principals in the play. The opening scene was prob ably the best, with young Bill Snell playing the part of George, shirt tails out. begging for the family ear and his sister Terry (Virginia Steed), adding a great deal to his discomfort. The play was an excellent one for high school cast, as little makeup- had to be used, the par ents were the only adults. The story is of the high school boy and girl, their first 'crushes and their firsts party. A good deal of humor, a dash of slap stick and lots of complications made it interesting throughout. " Leads Excellent The two leads were excellent in their parts; the parents, play ed by Orah Elliott and Willard Grant, gained confidence as the play progressed and the support ing cast was all very good. ' Between acts a quartet of "girls" of surprisingly heroic proportions offered a song and dance, and the audience felt cer tain that some of the faces had appeared frequently under foot ball helmets. Don Upjohn gave a short talk on Christmas seals and Mis Le ila Johnson was presented with a gift from the Snikpoh club in ap preciatlon of her work In direct ing the play.
