SCREECHING WHISTLES The Senior Class, though neither ghastly nor ghostly, produced The Ghastly Ghost,” a three act mystery comedy by James Reach on May 18 and 19. The plot of the plav centered around Caroline Van West, a spinster, who invited all of her relatives to the Van West mansion to help her make her will. As the story pro¬ gressed, a costly string of pearls was stolen, which placed suspicion on all the guests. A legend that the house was haunted provided a mysterious atmosphere throughout the entire play.
