Senior Play Friday Is A Lively Campus Farce One situation after another all biit upsets the plan of the Raleighs. three youngsters, who turn their home into a girls' dormitory in order to save it from mortgage disaster. First, the dean refuses to admit college girls to the new “dorm" until Aunt Flora and Aunt Barbara arrive from Vermont to chaperone the dormitory. To hold the fort until the aunts arrive, Sam Raleigh and his pal decide to impersonate the spinster ladies. Delving into the trunks sent ahead of time, they outfit themselves for the occasion. Their first encounter is with Professor Dexter, friend of the ladies. This proves to be their undoing but the professor goes along with them and promises to keep their disguise a secret from the nearsighted dean. What else happens to the "dear ladies?” It all comes out in ‘Good Night, Ladies" which the senior class will present Friday night in the school auditorium at B'oo o’clock. Tickets are available at Thornburg Drug and may be purchased at the door. ’lan Safety Check On Vehicles During May Syracuse marshals plan to conduct an all-out local campaign in cooperation with the statewide vehicle safety check program to inspect cars and trucks for defects during the month of May Don Enyeart, town marshal, announces that enforcement officers. and co-operating civic groups, will assist with the local safety check program which will last a whole week, instead of one( day as was done last year, and several locations will be used for the check. Purpose of the program is to detect all existing mechanical electrial defects and to have the faults corrected as a means of reducing traffic accidents. Inspections are free of charge and on a voluntary basis. 4 . Enyeart said that one out of eight vehicles checked last year had a defect needing correction. He added that more than 1.100,000 vehicles in Indiana were checked last year and that 138. 215 had some defect that labeled the car as an accident going some place to happen. Here in Syracuse, Enyeart said, we will do everything possible to assure that vehicles are in good operating condition for the increasing number of week end trips and vacations that will be taken during the next few months. He pledged full support to the Indiana Vehicle Safety Check Program which is conduct, ed by the Indiana Office of Traffic Safety in co-operation with the Indiana Sheriffs Association.
