Happy Daze!
"|-LOREAT ST. SWITHIN’S" and "Floreat John Dighton’ too, for giving us the happiest comedy of schooldays in existence. Remember the film of The Happiest Days of Your Life? Or perhaps you've seen the play? Well, the NZBS are offering the radio version now, for the delighted enjoyment of all those to whom schooldays were never like this. To explain the problem to the more atrophied intelligences of the class’ of °04-"Two schools into one won't go." But the Ministry of Devacuation absentmindedly devacuated St. Swithin’s School (for girls) to Hillary Hall, Hampshire, whose motto was "Homo in Om-nibus’-which means "A man in. all things" and has nothing to do with straphanging. St. Swithin’s, under the generalship of Miss Whitchurch, flourished like wild, wild flowers to the great discomfort of Hillary’s Head, Mr. Pond, and his staff. In the van of the NZBS production are Principal Davina Whitehouse and Games Mistress Ruth Alley. Hillary Hall’s team comprises Hector Ross (Mr. Pond), William Austin (Tassell) and Kenneth Firth (Billings). Bernard Beeby produced. The Happiest Days of Your Lite will be heard in ZB Sunday Showcase at 9.35 p.m. on November 7. .
