The play, a murder mystery, contained rich, well-bred noblemen, mediums, and the medium's pretty daughter who was accused of murdering the friend of her fIlBI'lCG'S father. The play had a slightly ingenious overtone of a not too bright detective that came to investigate a second murder.

Rustlers Create Enthusiasm Throughout West Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Joan Renner, the West High Rustlers take part in preparing for the Homecoming Dance, attend all athletic games, promote school spirit, and take part in many school activities. This year, the Rustlers, with the D Club, were respon- sible for Western Moonglow, the annual Homecoming Dance. These girls also held a demonstration during half time at the Homecoming game. They formed wagon wheels to the body of a covered wagon, which was formed by the Band. In order to be a Rustler, a girl must be a junior or senior, have a C average, and be in good physical health. Marolyn Tyner and .Terry Kent, Homecoming King and Queen, walk down the field as Rustler's form an aisle.
