We cheered with pride as Karen De Pompei and her attendants Pat Hadden and Jean Rice came into view riding in new convertibles.

FRIENDSHIP PLAY It can't be — I can’t believe it! Not you Elvira! Have you came back to haunt me? The air was filled with suspense and comedy as we watched Noel Coward’s play, Blithe Spirit. This first play of the season was produced and directed by Miss Joretta Brown, and sponsored by the Friendship Club. Elvira, the deceased wife of Charles Condo- mine, comes back to haunt him. She is shocked to find him remarried to Ruth. With the help of Madame Archarti, Elvira humorously in- vades the lives of Charles and his second wife. At the conclusion we find Elvira leaving the world of real people with Ruth as her com- panion. Elvira was disappointed once more be- cause her previous plan was to have Charles as her guest instead of Ruth. Charles, not caring much about the hilarious past events, starts out new, once more leaving old memories behind. Madame Archarti goes into a seance. Our Friendship play provided suspense and comedy.
