Ponce Thespians Say, 'Meet Me In St. Louis'

The Ponce Junior High School drama class will present the second play of the year, "Meet Me in St. Louis," on March 9 and 10, in the Ponce Auditorium. Mrs. Vyva Friesema, drama instructor, will direct the production. The admission, 50 cents, will be spent for cold water fountains for the building. This comedy is about a family, the Smiths, with four daughters, and what they do when their father suddenly announces that they are moving to New York. This means another school, loss of boyfriends, and leaving St. Louis just as the World's Fair is about to begin. Mr. Smith, a St. Louis businessman, is played by Barry Diamond. Dore Goodman plays Mrs. Smith, his wife. Their four daughters are played by Florence Fraser as Rose, Jan Mercer as Esther, Linda Brooks as Agnes, and Marlene Ehrlich as Tootie. Their son Lon is played by Terry Durkee. Eric Lemberg will be Grandpa Prophater, Mrs. Smith's father. The Simth's cook, Irish Katie, will be played by Nancy Searle. Their irate neighbor, Mrs. Waughop, is Beth Rielly. Mr. Smith's boss, Mr. Dodge, is Dave Michaelson. David Brummer portrays Mr. Duffy, who is "up to no good." Richard Kaplan is the conductor. Ida Boothby, who is sweet on Lon, will be played by Kim Palmer. Doug Shier acts as John Shepard, who is sweet on Rose. Fred Gregory, who is sweet on Esther, is portrayed by Alex Dickson. Also in the cast will be a live cat, owned by Renee Collins, taking the part of Lady Babbit. At the two performances, fathers and mothers of members of the drama classes will be hosts and hostesses in the auditorium. The members of the cast will be in costume; the play takes place in 1904.

You'll find fairy tales, folk stories and legends from around the world; books on science, biographies, and even songs. Even if you can't read one word, you'll surely enjoy the delightful illustrations which sparkle on the pages. For you Spanish speaking members, we are sure you, too, will enjoy a few minutes pleasure in reading in your native tongue.
