Fortu- nately, there were, not one, buttwo doctors in the house. Dr. Simon Sparrow saved the leading lady, while Dr. Tony Grimsdyke, proving himself a more able racon- teur than doctor, saved the evening with his reminis- cences of student days at St. Swithin's hospital. The curtain opened on the apartment which Grimsdyke (Chris Dormer) shared with fellow medical student, John Evans (Rob Woods). In this squalid setting Grimsdyke and Evans contrived to initiate Sparrow (Dave Van Weston) into the ways of the naughty world. It was here that "old blood and thunder" Sir Lancelot Spratt (Ed Deckert) spared the life of Bromley, the hospital porter (Sean Twomey); here that the students rehearsed their Christmas play with the insahably hungry nurse Riggie (Andrea MacGregor); here that Simon walked into and was saved from a marriage trap with Janet (Shelley McCullough), niece to the formidable matron (Sarah Twomey); and that Tony accepted a proposal of marriage from Vera (Martha McCallum). The play was marked by . tghe comic imagination not only of its author, Ted Willis, but also of its director, John Crocker, who inspired good acting from all of his cast.

Her class consists of students from age 14 to age 23. Some students have to travel 54 miles in a day, whereas regular students are not expected to do that. T.M.R.'s are taught self-care and communica- tion, and when older, the 'Andrea MacGregor stole one scene as the dramatically inept Riggie. Shelley McCullough's Janet was ideally matched with Sarah Twomey's icy matron, her aunt. - Sean Twomey and Ed Deckert created memorable roles. Neither made a false step and both had command- ing stage presences. As Vera, Martha McCallum was coquettish, kind, furious and good humoured with equal con- viction. _ Rob Woods, as the rugger fanatic and casanova admirably handled the demanding role of straight man to Chris Dormer's parasitic but generous laya- bout, Grimsdyke. Chris has grown as an actor over the past year and like Martha, 'has a confident and easy on-stage manner.

These, however, are minor criticisms of a play that was well received by two audiences that went away wishing it could be made into a television series. Congratulations are due not only to the director and cast, but also to the large production staff of students, teachers, and Mrs. Barton and Mrs. MacColl, make-up i wizards. 4-H Junior Dairy Club by The Merry-Milk Maia ~~ This is the Merry-Milk Maid reporting for the first Junior Dairy Club, meeting, which was held on April 27th, at the Bowmanville Agri- cultural Office at 8:00 p.m. There were 17 members in attendance. .
