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.
