Senior Glass
To Present Famous
Play on March 11
The Palmer High School gradu
ating class of 1955 has selected
the comedy, “Our Hearts Were
Young and Gay”, for their annual
class play.
Two matinee performances are
planned for students, and one
evening presentation, the latter
to be offered on March 11 at 8
p.m. in the Central School gym
nasium. Afternoon performances
will be given for the grade stu
dents on March 9 and for senior
and junior high school students
cm March 10. Tickets to the eve
ning performance may be purch
ased at either Central School or
Palmer High School office. Gen
eral admission tickets will be one
dollar; reserved seats $1.25.
The play involves two young
girls who go abroad to study.
Emily to study dancing, and Cor
nelia, dramatics. Cornelia’s par
ents, who are going to Paris, but
on a different boat, can’t under
stand the girls’ reasoning nor
some of their actions. They arrive
safe enough, however, after a voy
age packed full of laughs and
perils.
Cornelia Skinner is portrayed
by Jean Burke and her best friend
Emily Kimbrough, by Sylvia
Nelson. The roles of Cornelia’s
parents, Otis Skinner and Mrs.
Skinner, are taken by Leon Grov
er and Dona McKechnie, respec
tively. As a result of the poor
packing ability of the girls, the
steward (Larry Bentti) is bother
ed with carrying their many
trucks to and fro, throughout the
trip.
The two English girls, Harriet
St. John (Carol Colberg) and
Winifred Blaugh (Leona Lucas),
breeze airly in and out, expres
sing their desire for the two Am
erican boys in the next cabin,
Dick Winters (David Ingalls) and
Leo McEvov (David McKenzie),
both cf whom are studying medi
cine in England.
The dark side is added when
the purser (Bill* Harris) and the
stewardess (Carol Wood) check
the cabins for reasons they do
not want to disclose.
The admiral (Wesley Steel)
gives a helping hand from time
to time, and upon leaving ship,
the inspector (Jane Kneff) gives
the girls a thorough check up—
or so she thought.
In Paris, the girls stay at Hotel
LaHarve, where the landlady,
Madame Elise (Ruby Church) her
daughter Therese (Deloris Foster)
and the window cleaner (Ray
Winegarner) provide laughs for
everyone with their intrusions
;and supposed helpfulness.
famous actor Monsier De‘
La Crdix (Tom Yerbich) comes to
help Cornelia, but this only inter

With heartbreaks and fun be
hind them the girls prepare to
depart from the “Land of En

Heart Campaign
Under Way in Valley
February is “Heart Month” in
Alaska and throughout the United
States.
This week letters are being
mailed to all valley residents, ask
irg their cooperation through
contributions, in the nation-wide
campaign. Locally, Don L. Irwin
is serving as campaign chairman,
assisted by Ed Smith and John
Weisenberger.
Diseases of the heart, claim
more lives each year in our na
tion than all other causes of death
combined, the letter points out.
This fact readily indicates the
scope of the problem residents
have in assisting medical science
with funds for research, treat
ment, facilities, and education.
The aid of every resident is
asked. Each contribution will
help, no matter its amount, the
committee said.
Attractive plastic hearts will be
distributed in the various stores
in Palmer for those who do not
receive a letter so that they also
may "Have a heart—and help a
heart.”
