Emerson, M. Riendeau, S. Platt. Our Senior Play - Thr Skeleion uydfkln The Class of 1957 presented its Senior Play on November 9, 1957. It chose a mystery-comedy The Skelton Walks by Felicia Metcalfe. Mr. Chandler Matthews acted as coach, and Rowell Thibodeau, Donald Harris, Lester Breault and Har- old Marshall were the stage managers. The action of the play took place in the dreary and dismal living room of the Charles Blair home, located on a lonely island. Elaine Blair, her law- yer fiance and her mother had come to inspect the property which Elaine had inherited from her uncle. The place itself was worthless, but the fact that both Elaine and Dr. Fersig ther late uncle's physicianl knew that much money was hidden there, led to exciting complications. Dr. Fersig was in charge of the house. When the bridge was blown up, forcing Elaine's party to stay the night, strange things happened. After the appearance of a walking skeleton, and after Elaine's disappearance, Bill made a discovery which led to a solution of everything. We really enjoyed giving the play, and it was very successful.

Mr. John Morgan William Kerr Am! Were Bury. . . l JUNIOR PLAY: Row 1-R. Zanes, W. Kerr, Mr. Morin, C. Landry, L. Rice, S. Nailer, Row 2-I. Marshall, B. York, A. Bryan, E. Israel, L. Nugent, S. Fowlie, D. Emerson, M. Riendeau, S. Platt. Our junior Play - Of the Tracie On March 16, 1956, the Junior Class of Grove- ton High School, under the direction of Mr. Pierre Morin, presented the comedy Off The Track , by Felecia Metcalfe. The scene, a Waiting room in a small wayside railroad station, seemed almost real, it was so well set up by the stage managers, Arthur Collins and his assistant, Darryl Gagnon. The characters made the story come alive as they gathered and told of the trains being derailed on the stormy night and lamented the turn of events which left them stranded in this isolated spot. Mystery and tension increased as Miss Pid- gie, a noisy old maid tried to discover what was in Mr. Oscar Pozenbyis suitcase. When Mrs. Van- derventer's 510,000 string of pearls disappeared, Mrs. Guarino and her daughter were suspected, but were cleared of the charges by Bill Lindsay, a prospective lawyer. Miss Pidgie succeeded in put- ting over a smart trick and, much to her dismay and the audienceis merriment, finally discovered what was in Mr. Posenby's suitcase.
