Miss Brooks: I'm just a tired old English teacher, with troubles of my own. I wish you wouldn't add to my misery.
Our Miss Brooks—this year’s Junior-Senior Play—will be performed Friday, March 28, 2008, and Saturday, March 29, 2008, in the Putnam County Middle School Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. This same play was performed by the senior class of 1988 with the following cast members: Jennifer Claassen, Stacy Vestal, George Ross, Rusty Sands, LaDonna Robbins, Jodi Staggs, Candice Dover, Janet Williamson, Kim Valentine, Tammy Johnson, Kerri Murphy, Joey McHenry, Stacey Quigley, Michael Foster, George Duncan, Chad Gatlin, Michelle McKay, and Eugene Davis. Ceann Abbott and Natalie Stewart were student directors for the production.
This year’s production will feature these junior and senior students: Ashlen G., Andrea K., Devon, Zach W., Kaci, Kayla S., Jamie, Tessa, Blair, Whitnie W., Stacy H., Cara, Katie S., Brandon, Brady F., Jake, Brittany C., Matthew B., Kylle, Katie E., Jeff R., and Hilary.
Read the students' favorite lines from the play:
Miss Brooks: "What you need is cheap labor . . . What you need is a wife!" (Ashlen G.)
Coach Hugo Longacre: "Say, doesn't this part call for me to kiss anybody?" (Devon P.)
Ted: "Maybe I can cool her off. Maybe I can even cool off her mother." (Brandon B.)
Jane: "Since I'll never have a husband or anything--What else is there for an old maid?" (Tessa C.)
Mr. Wadsworth: "I don't want a lot of kissing." (Zach W.)
Mrs. Allen: "I warned her. I warned her especially!" (Brittany C.)
Basketball Player: "Don't mind me, Miss Brooks. Coach said if you were using part of the gym, we could use part of the English room." (Matthew B.)
Another Basketball Player: "Hey, pass it over here!" (Jeff R.)
Miss Finch: "I'll run him right over!" (Andrea K.)
Faith: "What a rotten exhibition of favoritism." (Cara G.)
