THE DRAMATIC ARTS parts of two friends who answered the ad for a ghost. Margaret Russell and Deborah Len- non, the Stormgay sisters, were two teen-aged girls who lived in the mysterious household. Mary Lou Roberts portrayed Troddy, the maid, and Robert Boehlert played the part of Hatcher, the hired handyman. Granny Kate, character- ized by Marilyn Miller, was the proprietor of the Stormgay house who was enchanted by the arts of voodooism. Her associates, Nancy Ne- meyer fMadame Zolgal and Robert Branagh fProfessor De Vallanj, were the mysterious visitors, who were engaged in exercising the powers of voodoo. Azalea, the lobster woman from the nearby village, was played by Patricia Wendt. Jane Miller as Nora Vane was the woman detective representing the Amalga- mated Seaman's Home. The sheriff, Mr. Brad- shaw, was illustrated by Alfred Juda. Paul Wrubel should be commended for his line pan- tomime and characterization of the monster. Miss Dorothy Dey, with the assistance of Joan Wildhack, did a commendable job on making our production a success. Everyone's participation has been appreciated and with- out it the overwhelming success would not have been attained. PRODUCTION STAFF Director ...........,,........ .........,.........

ACTING AND STU DYIN GHOST WANTED by Guernsey LePelIey Our Senior play is an important school event, which has been built up as the years have gone by. Each year it becomes more popular with the entire student body, and as a result there have been more participants to make it successful. This yearas play was entitled Ghost Wantedl' by Guernsey LePelley. It was a three- act comedy with a mysterious plot whereby it was proved that there is no such thing as a ghost. The entire action took place in the living room of the Stormgay house on Ramshead Rock, an island off the coast of Maine. Act I was set in the late afternoon on a foggy day. Foul play had been detected by Nora Vane because of the mysterious disappearance of Simon Gore, who was believed to be haunting the household. In Act II, several hours later, near midnight, evidence had appeared that Simon Gore was murdered, and that was the reason for his disappearance. It was in this act that the mysterious monster made his en- trance. In Act III, the murder was solved. Hatcher, the handyman, was the murderer. The cast consisted of twelve capable and talented actors. Bob Brown fI'Iugo Bromleyl and John Barry Ueffrey Hallj illustrated the l28l

oialcl On May 23, 1952, each Junior's dream became a reality as he walked on the boulevard of the Champs-Elysess, the most beautiful and magnificent boulevard in the world. Entering the Arc de Triomphe, the ecstacy of Paris was unfolded before him. Passing the Seine, the quaint antique build- ings could be seen far across the river. Walking farther down the boulevard, he sees the famous fashion salons typical of Paris in which all of the mannequins were dressed in the latest Paris crea- tions. As couples strolled along the boulevard, they passed the cinema which was gaily decorated with the latest movie posters, the travel bureau and our famous Cafe de-la-Paix where one could go for refreshments. opm en I The soft music of Ted Radley's orchestra filled the cool evening with a romantic mood and added the exquisite touch of majestic beauty to the cor- onation of our lovely queen, Monica Gorecki and her handsome king, Bob Swartzman. Then - with the grand march - the Prom became just a lovely memory in every Junior7s heart and one last glimpse of an Evening in Parisl' was sought. This beauti- ful evening was brought about through the dili- gent Work of the following members of the Art Committee: Bob Brown, Mary Carr, Carolyn Crumb, Chris Durham, Doreen Eberley, Maren Ellis, Douglas Ferguson, Pat Field, Eugene Fletcher, Lillian Gadizala, Marjorie Garguilo, Patricia Glatt, Dana Hardy, Kathleen Hughes, Monsour Jowicl, Al J uda, Regina Kobielski, Josephine Krawczyk, James McCarthy, Jane Miller, John Miller, Marilyn Mil- ler, Patricia Powers, -Carol Robenski, Byron Rice, Jane Schmitter, Joan Schreppel, Jean StoHe, Bar- bara Tormey, Patricia Wendt, Jean Whipple and Stanley Zurakowski. Debby Lennon and George Herthum acted as co- chairmen of the Prom committee While Tom Farrell and Joan Wildhack assisted with supervision of the re-creation of the Paris scene. However, without the magnificent guidance of Miss Margaret Jackson and Mr. Louis Thompson an 4'Evening in Parisl' would never have become a reality for the student body of Whitesboro. l30 3
