MRS BERNICEJ DUNCAN Too MANY Puopua . . . too many live people . . . ll Go away, 'X this island belongs to the dead. The living are not wanted here. You'll see . . . you'll all see . . . the living are DOE wanted here .... an Such was the atmosphere created when the curtain parted on the opening scene of Ghost Wanted, re- vealing the dark, imposing, and sombre gray walls of Rams- head Rock far off the coast of Maine. The play was highlighted by the appearance of the ghost of Ramsheacl Rock, Simon Gore, who returned from the dead to haunt the poor unfor- ILl1l21tCS who found themselves stranded on this out-of-the- way island. 40: The Masque and Gavel, by presenting this mystery-comedy on December Sth and 6th, won the audience with their splendid acting, and from the time the lights dim- med until the last line of the play, the audience fairly sat on the edge of their seats. as Ghost Wanted gave the actors an opportunity to demonstrate their ability as few plays could, thus furnishing an evening full of chills and thrills which made a big hit. M .Ieanne Nelson and Doris Williams headed the production staff as the student directors, while Nancy White attended to the endless details as the property manager. Friday Night Cost 110

SPRING Tina wiainmisr coLLuc'r1oN of characters ever to be portrayed at one time in Queen Anne's auditorium was seen the evenings of May 14 and 15 when the drama classes under the direction of Mrs. B. Duncan presented the rollicking Broadway hit, The Man Who Came to Dinner. as Led by Frank Nashland as the indomitable Sheridan Whiteside, the Cz1St included several inmates ofthe Home for Paroled Convicts, a crazy woman with homicidal tendencies, a collector of cockroaches, the rabbity horse doctor and Nurse Preen, who, strangely enough, didn't like to amuse penguins. aw Credit goes to the entire cast for the outstanding performances which they worked tirelessly to achieve, Among the more unusual characterizations were Bill Setzer's song and dance number, Delores Leland's giggle, and Frank Nashland's rendition of the poem about the rabbit. an Everyone will long remember the story of how Whiteside, the blustery author, broke his hip on the front porch of an unknown family in a small town in Ohio. Since he couldn't be moved, Whiteside made the best of the situation by taking over the Stanley home. l-le sent for his capable secretary, Maggie, but feared he would lose her when Bert Jefferson, the local reporter, interviewed himfand Maggie. 112
