Georgia GOP Slates Dinner DR. T. F. CALLAWAY | 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- Itempt to solve their financial prob- — lems by casting a spell.
