Senior Dramatists On Friday, December 13, 1929, the Senior Class of New Bern High School presented to the public a mystery play, The Ghost Bird. The play was produced under the direction of Miss Maisie Bookhardt and under the management of Nat Dixon. The cast was a medley of all stars, including Eura Gaskins, Evelyn Pittman, Jack Barber, Eula Stewart, Ishmael Whitford, Charles Styron, Charles McDaniel, Helen George, Sophia Benton, Sally McClees, and Hubert Simonds. The plot was arranged to cover four acts with a spell-binding mystery. There was a hero, a heroine, a villain, and last but not least, a dark woman. The scenes were laid in an old house in New York during the worst storm of the year. A large crowd witnessed the presentation at the Masonic Theatre and, judging by the frequent applause, the crowd greatly enjoyed the play.
