24 THE MEG UNTICOOK is to give a dinner party on the stage of the Camden Opera House for the members of his family. This party is in observance of a weird anniversary. When the clock strikes eleven, Sir Charles is to inheri't two million pounds. Many years before, a man had been slain in the opera house, a dumb girl had ap- peared, and the ghost of the murdered man flitted onto the stage after the dumb girl's death, so that the murder was revealed. This, according to 'the prophecy, was to be repeated in fifty-five years. The zero hour at which the prophecy is to be fulfilled is on the night when Sir Charles has got everything set for his party. just to make things complicated, Maurice Mullins, the only near relation of Sir Char- les, is to inherit the fortune in case any- thing should happen to Sir Charles before eleven. XN'ell, as you might suspect, Maurice Mul- lins enters, without invitation, and that is where the fun begins. Those of the cast arc: Miss Groze Patricia Magee '45 Secretary, to Sir Charles Cavendish ' Arthur Grinnell '45 Band Conductor Mrs. Wragg Anna Sparta '47 The cook Jimmy North Raymond Gross '46 A good-looking young man Beatrice Jasper - Ruth Stone '46 Young wife of Sir Charles Mrs. Arthur Shirley Dean '46 Beatrice's domineering mother Sir Charles Jasper John Thomas '46 The victim Maurice Mullins Stephen McGrath '46 Sir Charles' only .living relative A Woman Virginia Fish '46 The unreal one - C H S - FIRST SEMESTER RANKS High Honor Roll fAll A's in all subjectsl.
