The Junior Class this year presented the four-act mystery- comedy, “ The Ghost Bird.” While on a trip in search of a criminal known as the Ghost Bird, a New York detective was murdered. The murder was committed in a mysterious residence in a small village not far from New York. Almost every occupant of the residence was accused of the crime and as a matter of fact three confessed to it. The detective had attempted to force his attention upon a beau- tiful New York girl. The finger of suspicion pointed to the true lover of the girl. Considerable comedy was introduced into the play by Toby, a correspondence school detective. Toby eventually was responsible for the capture of the real criminal, the Ghost Bird. The play ends with the happy marriage of the New York girl and her lover. The lightning and thunder effects from behind the stage added to the mystery and beauty of the play. Andalusia Anderson Will Belmont...... Tobias Tolliver.... Mrs. Dore......... Carl Thomas........
