Arsenic cmd Old Lace , a dramatic comedy written by Ioseph Kesselring and direc- ted by Iames Stewart, was presented by the senior class on April 3, 1959. The setting is a quiet old fashioned house in Brooklyn, N. Y., owned by the two sweet and charitable Brewster sisters, who populate their cellar with the remains of sociable and religiously acceptable roomers. Mortimer Brewster, playwright critic and only sane member ot the family, is found constantly trying to have his Teddy, who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt, sent to a sanitarium. The elderly Brewster sisters object strongly to Mortimer's actions because Teddy was always willing to dig a 6 by 4 lock for the poisoned yellow fever victims. At this time Ionathan Brewster, famed and feared killer, arrives on the scene with his helper Dr. Einstein. The plot thickens when Ionathan tries to bury Mr. Spinalzo, Ionathan's twelfth victim, with the Brewster sister's twelfth victim, Mr. Hoskins, in the cellar. Ionathan is finally caught by the police and taken to Indiana to serve a life sen- tence. Dr. Einstein slips out the door unnnoticed while Mortimer is taking his fiancee, Elaine, away to tie the knot. Mr. Witherspoon, Dean of Happy Dale sanitarium, arranges to have Teddy enrolled in his institution and, while waiting for Teddy to pack, sits down with the Brewster sisters for a glass of Elderberry wine. The curtain closes as Mr. Witherspoon sips on his glass of wine-his last glass of wine.

The uthespian-minded members of the Iunior Class presented a successful produc- tion of Mr, Barry's Etchings on November 21 in the high school auditorium. Action of the play centered around Mr. Barry's abilities with the etching technique -particularly his ability to reproduce a successful likeness of General Grant on the 350.00 bill. This ability proved beneficial to some, but: rather troublesome to others. But like all good comedies should, things ended Well for all concerned. Sixty Nine
