Uhr Iarulalpam Senior Flag On the evening of January 21, 1927, the Senior class presented The Thirteenth Chair, a mystery play by Bayard Veiler, in the High School gymnasium.

THE onsi' Helen O'Neil Will Crosby Mrs. Crosby - Roscoe Crosby Edward Wales Mary Eastwood Helen Trent - Grace Standish Brandish Trent Howard Standish Philip Mason - Elizabeth Erkskine Polluck - Rosaline LaGrange Tim Donohue Sergeant Dunn Doolan - Juanita Haverfield Edward DeLong - Helen Clark Holland Seybert - Harold Long Eleanor Reulecke Margaret LaCharite - Evelyn Long - Will Lash Hershel Picker - Chas. LaCharite Evelyn Eversole Leonard Brown Gwendolyn Pedrette - Floyd Crow Hollis Garvin Virgil Linder The story centers around the Medium, Madam Rosaline LaGrange, who is conducting a spiritualistic seance in the home of Roscoe Crosby. Crosby insists that the doors and windows be locked. Pollu-ck, the butler, has the keys. During a tense moment of the seance, while Wales is questioning the Medium, concerning the murder of a very dear friend of his, he utters a cry, and falls foward on the floor and dies. Killed! Murdered brutally by an unseen knife. W'ho is the murderer? One of the thirteen who were locked in the room is surely guilty, which one? The remainder of the story deals in unfolding the mystery of this terrible situation. Through the creditable work of Inspector Donohue, in the unraveling of the plot, they come to the 'conclusion that Helen O'Neil is surely guilty, but evidently there are two Helens in the room. Mason, a friend of the family, breaks, for he could not endure the strain, so he con- fesses of being the murderer of VVales, and his dear friend, in order to get revenge. Will Crosby gets his heart 's desirm-,and all ends well. No Sirl Tlnt's not right, I have a different answer-Hershel Picker. 27 -
