In the 1940s, the Royal Neighbors of America put on an historical play about Maple Hill at the Maple Hill High School Auditorium. I so wish I could find a script. My paternal grandmother, Mabel Rachel (Jones) Clark was in the play, and had a script, but she said she didn’t see any value in keeping it and threw it away. I wish someone whose relatives are in these photos would happen to have a script.

The first photograph is of my Grandmother, Mable Rachel (Jones) Clark. She is wearing a hat that belonged to her mother, Vergie (Miller) Jones, and a handkerchief that belonged to her maternal grandmother, Sarah (Wykert) Miller, and a purse that belonged to her husband’s mother, Mary (Woody) Clark. Participants were supposed to wear as much of their family’s historic clothing as possible.

The second photograph L-R is: Mabel Rachel (Jones) Clark and Hazel (Mrs. Ollie) Romick. Grandmother didn’t tell me anything about Hazel’s clothing.

The third photograph is is the entire cast. My grandmother was usually very good about identifying photographs, but this one says only that it is a cast photo. I know several but not all. L-R are Hazel (Mrs. Ollie) Romick, ? Romick, unknown, Olive Scofield, Mary Belle Raine, Mrs. Addie (Small) Updegraff, Helen (Lauck) Holmes, and Margaret (Romick) McClelland.
