Junior Class Presents 'Art Above Everything' The first class assembly of this year, ""Art Above Everything,"" was I presented by the Junior class on November 20, under the direction of Phyllis Stinchcomb, day social chairman. The starring role of June Conroy was played by Kay Harper, sup-ported by Bonita Rakes, Ed Randall, George Sparks, Milton Saulsbury, Joe Evans and Robert Anastasi, all of whom have appeared in other class assemblies. Other members of the cast included Barbara.McDowell, Lorna Pyle, Mary Ann Audley, Don Graham, and Bill Matthews, who made their first appearance in a class production. June Conroy, an aspiring young actress, and Myrtle, her salesgirl roommate, live in a small Greenwich Village apartment. While June is haunting the booking agencies, her creditors are haunting her. When things are about as bad as possible, her multimillionaire uncle, John B. Mockafellar, dies leaving the bulk of his estate to June, under the con-dition that she give up her career in the arts. She learns of this turn of events while she is auditioning for a part in a forthcoming Broadway production. June, after much thought and advise from all sides, comes to the decision that for her it is ""Art Above Everything."" Having rejected the money in the usual dedicated spirit, she gets the role for which she auditioned and is on her way toward a big career. So ends this Cinderella story. During the slimmer the script committee met to write the show. Music included many well-known songs as well as some lesser known numbers from Broadway produc-tions. In past years the class of '61 has presented ""The Lyme"" and ""I'd Rather Live"" in the USA, an original play with score by William Moessinger. Glen Players Select One-Acts The Glen Players will �present three student-directed one-act plays on December 10 and 11 at 8:15 P.M. in Lida Lee Tall Auditorium. The main purpose of these plays is to help students interested in the theater obtain experience in acting and directing. Since the emphasis is on the director-actor, the plays will be simply staged using only props, costumes, and lighting. Edgar Krout will direct two scenes from Tennessee Williams' ""Street-car Named Desire"", Phyllis PuLkka and Ramona Maletti will direct the well - known Gerstenberg satire ""Overtones"", and Deanna Brown has chosen a Chekhov classic ""The Marriage Proposal"", a farce in two scenes. Last year the Glen Players pre-sented four one-act plays, ""The Valiant"", directed by Robert Mid-dleman. ""The Fourth Mrs. Phillips"", directed by Ellen Henuneter and ! scenes from ""Plain and Fancy"" and ""Stage Door"" directed by Shirley ! Block and Jerry Riley, respectively. Members of the Class of '63 re-cently elected Paul Strickland class president. Joan Tracey was elected vice- President; while Norman Stein and Ruth Clark became Corresponding Secretary and Recording Secretary, respectively. Treasurer is Roger Foster and Parliamentarian is Mari-anne Inglett. Doni Walker and Paul Swank are Resident Social Chair-man and Day Social Chairman, re-spectively. Elected to the Student Centre Directory were Doris McNutt, Sheila Engel, Roberta Henriques and Jo-ann Dodge. Freshman Student Government Association representatives are Ellen Dugan, Pat Ryan, Jean Tracey, Walt McDonald, Pat Justis, Carroll Swam, Dianne Baseman, Mary Campbell, Gil Creutzer, Jr., Sandra Fink and Nadine Jacobson.
