Director, Mr. Dunkle, William Mosher, Norman Schaffer, Wil- liam Soule. William Dunkle, Virginia Glass, John Randall, Mr. Warfield, Director On December 15, 1944 The Ghost Trainu roared into Duxbury High School, and from it descended, suit cases in hand, Marie Short and Stanley Nightingale, a couple on the verge of divorce, Virginia Schwab and Bob White, amorous newlyweds, Mary Richardson, a flustered Spinster, weighed down by a bird cage, and Larry Lovell, a nonchalant young Englishman. Richard Washburn, station master, thoroughly frightened the passengers by telling them that they would have to spend the night in a deserted station through which a ghost train was destined to pass at midnight. During the course of a hectic evening, Mrs. Warfield took the part for Dorothy Randall, who was ill, of a half-crazed, terror-stricken girl, and exclaimed that she was fated to see the ghost train. After a score of breathtaking episodes, the play drew to a climax with Bill Soule and Norman Schaffer revealed as criminals in league with the so-called nervous young lady, smuggling dope via The Ghost Train. Bill Mosher, George Damon, Jack Randall, and Larry Lovell had cleverly detected the ruse and captured the smugglers, much to the de- light of an enthusiastic audience. The realistic sound of the ghost train was accomplished with the aid of an efficient stage crew under the direction of Mr. Dunkle. Virginia Glass served as prompter. Much credit for the fine performance is due to the director, Mr. Warfield.
