Leo Colwell The Senior Class really did themselves proud with the play they presented this year, but with the above cast of characters, how could it help being a success? As the name implies, Incognito concerns an unknown , who is referred to in the play as Charles Locke. It is not until the end of the third act that his identity is revealed. Although classed as a mystery, there are lighter moments when Mrs. Thumbull and Trudy Blitt give us a few laughs, while Mrs. Shulman presents the tragic side of the situation. As no play is complete without it, a touch of romance is provided by Helen Clark and Fred Collins. As the play begins, the characters seem rather normal, but as the play progresses, the plot thickens, and the secrets which the characters had tried so hard to hide, eventually are revealed - - some comic, others tragic. . The play comes to a climax near the end of the third act, when the murder's identity is dis- covered. And who is he - - why, didn't you come to the play? Although the cast did a marvelous job of acting, the play would not have been a success except for the expert direction of Mrs. Pulver and the help of many Seniors on various com- mittees.
