as “a delightful and winning
comedy of much charm and
brightness,” by the New York

ingly humorous investigation of
adolescence . . .the charm of
which lies in making all recog
nize their own experiences with
youngsters of the same age,”
by the Chicago Daily News.
It will be presented here at
the High School Gym for two
performances May 4 and 5.
