The leading role of Henry Aldrich was played by Tim Thompson in Clifford Goldsmith's play, What a Life. What a Life depicted Henry's troubles with his teachers, with his girl friends, and with his enemy, George Bigelow. The climax of the play came when Henry was accused of stealing a majority of the schoo1's band instruments. However, with the finding of several clues which pointed toward George, it was finally proved that Bigelow had committed the crime and had tried to frame Henry. emaz ping The Senior Play, The Bat was presented on April 26. Adapted from, 'The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart, the play was ably produced and directed by Mr. Scott. The story concerned itself with the theft of a million dollars that was taken from the Union Bank. The money was hidden in an upstairs room in the leased mansion of Courtleigh Fleming, the dead bank president. Mysterious rappings, two killings, arson, and an unknown man who has been bound and gagged in the garage, are only a few of the events that occurred when the curtain rose on that stormy night.
