May 18, 1933 “Salt Water Taffy” – Senior class play, a breezy bit of banter in three acts will be presented May 12 and 13 by a cast of nine talented seniors. Admission, 10 cents for all school pupils and 15 cents for adults. This is a light-hearted comedy of salty satire with a setting by the sad sea waves. It’s syncopated to a rhythm of love and moonlight. Can you imagine Gene Chambers strumming a uke for the benefit of a big-eyed blonde? Can you see Bob Sokol flipping fried eggs? Charlotte sends Irma to the seashore to keep an eye on Charlie, Charlotte’s fiancé. Irma does – and how! The efforts of Charlie and his friends to keep house are very funny, and when the “gang” gets together to put on a show it’s a real riot. Charlotte gets there just in time! You’ll giggle, you’ll laugh, your sides will ache, and you’ll love “Salt Water Taffy.”
