Lessons Learned on Santry f lornestead “New Fires”, in three acts was presented Sunday and Monday evenings at St Mary’s academy by the senior class. The entire action of the play took place in the combination dining living room of the old Santry home stead, located in the southern part of Missouri. Most of the characters were dual, one taking part the first night and the other one playing the role the following night. Director was Sr. M. Josephine. Makeup artist was Sr. M. Claire. Stage manag ers were Larry Donohoe, Larry Tomlinson, Clarence Longcor and Gene Turner Lights were in charge of Larry Wanser. Stephen Santry (Clarence Long cor and Brenton Wabs), an auth or, inherited a small farm in the Missouri Ozarks from an eccentric uncle. To attempt to teach and show his kin a different and mean ingful purpose in life, he invited the family to the tarm. When Stephen offered the ul timatum that they must work for their food and clothing, things happened. Olive (Carmen Meusch), his daughter, feigned sickness. Lynn Gray (Doug Wallbaum and Larry Tomlinson), a young eligi ble doctor, was called. He figured out the pretense. Just as she threatened to hitchhike back home to Chicago, Mary Marshall (Dee Anna Dunn), a neighbor girl, de veloped scarlet fever, which quar antined the household for a month. Two servants, Lucinda (Mary Lu Zirnig and Joan Shoemaker) and Suzanne (Mary Lou Connot and El len Lohaus) were not in the house and, therefore, were not quaran tined. The family had to shift for them selves. With time to think, Dick (Gene Turner and Ed Gallagher), the son, unfolded an idea for a high ly specialized business. He was aided by his wife, Eve, (Renae Hoffman and Rita Jansen). When Sid Sperry (Charles Ma honey), the farm hand, told of Doctor Gray's car plunging off the end of a bridge, Olive realiz ed that she loved the doctor. Anne, (Connie Heelan and Jacque Ar buthnot), Stephen’s wife, came to realize the need of her sympathy in his career. At the end of the visit, each member of the family returned to his home with broader and more intelligent view of life. Others taking part were: Jerry, Sid’s son (Gene Schneider and Larry Donohoe); Billy, Stephen’s son (James Carr); Mrs. Marshall. Mary’s mother (Mary Thompson) and Angie Sperry, Sid's wife (Theresa Pribill). Between acts a trio composed of Larry Wanser, Gene Jilg and Ronnie Clark sang “Bidin ’ My Time” and “Wake the Town and Tell the People”. The boys’ choir sang “When Johnnie Comes March ing Home”, “Vive L’Amour” and “Carisson Song”. The musical di ' rector was Sr. M. Michael.
