em BW WMM an 6 elm , Gramercy Ghost came to haunt GHS on March 23 and 24 in one of he funniest most unusual comedies ever presented here. Besides the usual production problems of where to get the costumes, low to get all those tickets sold, and will the leading man be over the measles in time, this play had some very strange difficulties. In order 0 get the proper ethereal effect, the ghosts had to have special make-up, ighting, and set construction. The play centers around Miss Nancy Willard, who inherits a Revolution- ,ry War ghost named Nathaniel Coombes. The play is concerned with ler efforts to get Nathaniel into heaven and to choose one of her two uitors for a husband. Included in the cast were Nancy Borden, Larry Giddings, Marty Harm- ess, Tim Correll, Florence Peterson, Bill McCormack, Fred Wilbur, Bill vlahoney, Carol Harvey, Bunny Bergman, Harriett Williams, and Agnes King. There was usually more action than this for the cast. Sue Nickerson soon learns the effects of the ghost fTim Correllj. First week rehearsals are characterized by play books. 21
