For a hundred years Green Valley had been owned by the Berry family-ever since Grampa had staked it out in the gold rush days. Now Eldon, the last oi the Berry line, was about to lose it to greedy land operator, Tobias I. Everheel. But suddenly strange and mystiiying things began happening in Green Valley. All at once vegetation began to grow into gigantic proportions. Strawberries grew as big as a fist, and sunllowers reached higher than the house.

Kind Lady, a sinister drama written by Edward Chodorov and directed by Iames Stewart, was presented by the Senior Class on December 20, 1957. When wealthy Londoner Mary Herries sympathetically opened her door to a bedraggled young man, she unwittingly admitted an unscrupulous group of swindlers who proceeded to steal her possessions by making the world believe she had gone out of her mind. Finally the Kind Lady was released from her strange tormentors when she slipped a note to a representative from her bank who had unexpectedly dropped in. Within moments after the representative left, the exciting climax of the play was reached when a loud knock sounded and the swindlers gathered tensely to await the handcuffs oi the entering police.

When the office needs assistance, it can always depend on these girls for support. Seventy Four
