THE CHATEAU ON THE BLUFF (continued from page IS) All went well until about nine-thirty when, getting tired of sitting in a cramped position, we stood up to stretch. Immediately there was a whir of wings and a frantic scratching of wood as two bats, disgruntled at being dis- turbed, whirled around the room and (lashed out the doorway. Our nerves were greatly shaken at this, but gradually we gained control of ourselves and sat back to wait with our hands tightly gripping our revolvers. The moon had now climbed to a position where it sent beams of light filter- ing through the cracks in the boarded-up windows and the room was filled with a soft, ghostly light. The warm summer zephyrs had now become cool night breezes and sometimes whistled softly around the corners of the chateau. Of a sudden everything seemed quiet, deathly quiet; the moon rose higher, spreading more light through the room. I could hear my watch ticking in my jacket. I took it out. The luminous dials pointed to ten. My breathing be- came shorter as the silence increased. I looked at M. LeSage. He, too, had noticed this unearthly deadness and had drawn his revolver from his jacket. Then I felt a cold, clammy hand grasp my wrist. It was M. LeSage. He was looking intently toward the fireplace on the opposite side of the room. I fol- lowed his gaze. There, not plainly discernible, on the open hearth was a figure that seemed to blend with the shadows. My heart throbbed harder, faster; cold sweat formed on my brow. The grip on my wrist tightened and sud- denly with a cry my companion threw his gun up and fired once, twice, thrice. The whole house echoed and reechoed. I tried to drag my revolver from my jacket, but I only ripped the lining of my coat and then everything went black and I fainted dead away. When I awoke, I saw a smiling face bending over me a,nd felt myself being jounced around as if on springs. I sat up to find that I was riding swiftly back toward the village in my own motor car. Behind us towering black and for- bidding was the chateau of Jacques Dumont. What happened?” I asked quickly, trying to get my breath between bounces. Well,” replied M. LeSage, after you passed out, I carried you down to the roadside to await our chauffeur. You must have been quite exhausted to fall asleep at the moment you did.” he teased. But, the ghost!” I blurted out. What-----!” Oh, yes!” he cut me short with a burst of laughter, to be sure. The ghost was no ghost, monsieur. We, my dear friend, were simply victims of man’s worst enemy—FEAR!”

Edition SEMI-FINAL ‘ATTLEE ♦ BLIND PRICE TWO PEZOZES SENIOR CLASS TO PRESENT IMHK AM» STARK CU B COMI'LMIKNTS sm«l COMPLAINTS Compliment To the continued good work of the News-writers’ club in the weekly column of school news in the Quincy Patriot Ledger. We like especially the up and coming Pen Points written by Kay Wilmath. Mr. MeKeown guides these people in their good work. Complaint With tongues hanging and throats dry, we say Pul- leese! Fix the several bubblers in the building from which no water spouts. Compliment — The Wednesday and Friday assemblies enjoyed the music of the double quartette and the solo sung by Alfred StarreL. Couldn't we have something like this more often? Complaint Pulleese again, do, someone of authority, remove that imposin' red and black No Smoking sign which was viciously and with malice afore- thought placed at the back of our lovable bronzy Indian and Steed in the entrance of our school. Compliment We are informed of the Quincy alumni’s efforts to erect a stadium for our high school. If we are very good, and our teams continue their high standing, we may really have one. Who knows? Compliment Congratulations to the Hi-Y and Phi Upsiion Pi soci- eties for their rapid development and enthusiasm. These are com- ing organizations. dkiiatim; U B The busy members of the debat- ing group are stili going as strong as ever. Mr. Lee and Mr. Noyes, its faculty members, leave most of the choosing of debatable subjects to the club officers, James Banghar!, Mary Latham, and Mary Broderick. At every other meeting a debate is given to which outsiders are in- vited, and on the alternating meetings, an invited guest usually speaks to the members. The three schools of other cities already chosen as opponents in debates to be held in the early spring may well beware Quincy's strong de- bating team. A visiting member said that he found the Page and Stage club giv- ing interesting meetings. At its last club period, ‘ Trifles was presented. This one-act play pro- vided parts for five members: Vir- ginia Peterson, John Balcom, Itobert Fee, Parks Hunt, and Frances Thompson. Trifles had to do with the solving of a peculiar crime prompted by the death of a canary, and offered extremely in- teresting entertainment. The offic- ers ot the club are: president. David Sargent; vice president, Ann Connolly: secretary-treasurer, Bar- bara Leavitt; and its faculty advis- ers, Miss Turner and Miss Browne. ALHINIS CON(«KATI'LATHS Q.II.S. OHCHKSTBA Mr. Collins received a letter last month from James A. Johnson, now secretary to the president of the Electric Auto-Lite Company of Toledo. Ohio, congratulating our tamous orchestra. His comment »eads as follows: Yesterday morn- ing. while listening to the radio, 1 heard a program of music pre-. seated by schools in the suburbs of Boston. And one of those schools represented was Quincy High! It certainly did bring back a lot of memories and make me feel mighty good to hear the announcer say: Next we shall present the Quincy High School orchestra, directed by Miss Maude Howes.’ I just want to say that the per- formance given by ‘our’ orchestra was excellent; as good as any symphony orchestra I have hear I over die air. Of course I may be prejudiced, but I firmly believe, that Quincy High School is to In;, congratulated. CAPTAIN APPLEJACK Cast of Eight Already at Work The Senior play selected for this year is “Captain Applejack,” and will be presented in the high school auditorium during the first week of March by the hopeful senior class. The young and aspiring actors were chosen by Mr. Franklin B. Mitchell and a group of assistin ; teachers after a series of six try- outs. The plot of the play is really interesting. It tells of Mr. Apple- John's adventures during one single evening, part of which time lie dreams away. The play calls tor versatility and sincerity on tin- pan of the actors. The blunderous and would-be romantic personality of Captain Applejack is to In por- trayed by Paul Hurley. His quiet but winning ward is played by Barbara Leavitt, whose Aunt Agatha, played bv Helene Spencer, ■ an never quite make out the hero and his craving for romance. The supposed answer to the gentle- man's desire is the Russian dancer. Anna Valeska, who confides in him to a great extent. This part is taken by Ann Connolly. Borolsky, tin- much pursuing and rough Bo- rolsky is interpreted by Sam Evans Mr. and Mrs. Pengard are played by Signe Hedein and Kenneth Sen - ice. The ever-present butler must not be forgotten, and John Balcom plays this forbidding part. Cast and coach are hard at work, and this comedy promises to lie one of the best ever given.
