BURNS RUTH SCHADT ...............,....,,........ A GYPSY In December of 1935 the Senior Class successfully produced the three act comedy of Lindsey Barbee's, "In the Light of the Moon." The play was a mystery, centering around an old house inherited by the Hathaways. Love and romance were cleverly worked in. The gypsy told Cynthia's fortune, Which, strangely enough, comes true. The audience was kept in suspense, wondering what Miss Becker and Dr. Burns were going to do next. The maid Della and self-hired Jake afforded much amusement and quite a bit of embarrassment when they locked up the Wrong party in the back shed. As all mysteries end, so did this one, with the finding of the treasure and Cynthia's heart's desire all in "The Light of the Moon." A' Mr. Bishop A. Oxenford coached the play and it was due to his encour- agement and fine spirit of enthusiasm that this was such a success. RUTH SCHADT PAGE FIFTY-EIGHT
