| The Seniors of Butler High School
'have banded together and united
their efforts in order to bring you
a Senior Play guaranteed to be fun-
!ny. It is entitled "Be Happy! Go
Wacky”! As is quite obvious from
'the title, it is entirely suitable to
the precepts of our Senior class.
After many hours of work and
study, it is pleasant to lay aside
our seriousness and enjoy a bit of
humor for a while. And indeed, this
play is humorous.
It concerns the orphaned Dixon
family, who are of very modest
means. In spite of taking in board
ers, big brother Clay (Fred Brown)
and big sister, Pamela (Ellen Allen)
have trouble making ends meet.
The other members of the Dixon
family are the twins, Paphne and
Disney, played to a “T” by Carolyn
Joiner and Jimmy Cosey. They
nearly drive Clay and Pam wild
with tho’r crazv philosnhy: To be
happy, follow your impulses - no
matter how wacky!
The twins find an ancient book
of witchcraft in the attic, and at-
