Here is the situation: Alice Gard- ner, a young radio writer, went to Holbrook Manor, a deserted mansion owned by her fiance, Steve Holbrook, to complete an important script in peace and quiet. She and her maid, Jasmine, found Holbrook Manor not quiet and deserted as they had ex- pected, but peopled by the strangest group ever gathered under one roof. They were under the care of Dr. Law- son, a psychiatrist, and Mrs. Egg, the sinister housekeeper. Also present was Glenn, a young man who claimed to be crazy. What all these people were doing at Holbrook Manor and how Alice be- came involved in a spy ring, endan- gering her life and J asmine's, caused chills, thrills, and laughter until the final curtain. The cast included : Sally Crockett Elaine Lord Selma Sherman Jerry Young Jean Wilbur Arthur Clements Paul Quinn Sheila Billings Keryn Laite Donald Worthen Cheryl Reynolds Ronald Leadbetter Alice Gardner Jasmine Pocahontas Hitler Mussolini Queen Elizabeth Rockefeller Dr. Edward Lawson Mrs. Egg Glenn Steve Holbrook Roberta Best

Although some of them were ready to call it a day at 3 p.m., the seniors weren't. Friday evening the weary freshmen were put through their paces to the amusement. of the upperclassmen. Both classes displayed good sports- manship. Some of the more humorous events were the egg shampoos, the singing, and the baby carriage scene. A dance followed the reception.

On this committee were the following seniors: Keryn Laite, Sally Crockett, Ronald Lead- better, Linda Marshall, Donald Bar- ter, Joyce Harvey, Lawrence Nash, Jean Wilbur, Roger Plaisted, and Ed- ward Thomas, who served as chair- man.

The show consisted of a variety of acts, with the opening and closing numbers sung by the entire senior class. Each of the acts had its own chairman, who reported to the general chairman. The show was under the direction of Roger Calderwood, of the faculty, and was presented twice- once for the grade school students and then for the general public, on the evening of October 28th. HARVEST BALL The juniors' Harvest Ball, on No- vember 4, was a gay success thanks to the support of the student body.
