SENIOR PLAY A tremendous ovation greets the cast of ““Murder Mansion” and its director, Mrs. Pierce, as the final curtain draws to a close the mystery com- edy. The audience reluctantly leave their seats as the flashbacks of the play race through their minds... what a fine job Shirley did of portraying Ophlia, the colored maid. . . her surprising appe- tite and her horrified gestures. They remember the eccentric Aunt Mimi played by Lois Wittek. They remember Kathee’s interpretation of the wealthy Carlotta . . . the debonair Palmer Keen portrayed by Bill Palmerton . . . the much-sus- pected Mary Marley by Beverly Butts . . . the inquisitive Inspector Hicks by Max Weinar. They recall the eerie setting and Bruce climbing out from the trunk . . . his surprising re-entrance as Albert Jackson, the detective ... Connie, slurring with a French accent in her portrayal of Madame Marie Ravoli... Ruth as the “gushing”’ Flora Manning and Chester as the business-like Doctor Hamilton. The pleased spectators remember the suspense and the confusing characters. And backstage . . . the cast, too, is reminiscing. They remember all the weeks of hard work under the capable directorship of Mrs. Pierce . .. . sear- ching for old-fashioned furniture . . . “Act sur- prised”. . . “not loud enough.” They remember the invaluable cooperation of the stage crew... the make-up artists . . . the advertising and busi- ness committees . . . the student director,Molly Scott ... the wardrobe mistress. They remember the hours of rehearsing . . . Lois passing around a bag of cookies . . . Joe running from lights to bell and back to lights again . . . Shirley tripping in the dark . . . Connie’s search for exotic earrings... Joanne busying herself with program distribution . . . business manager Dick criticizing the love scene ... Bill Rice installing properties .. . Mr. Mergler building flats . . . Bob operating the cur- tains... George getting in the way .. . Norman covered with cold cream . .. Dwight shaping beards . .. Mrs. Francisco trying to keep order ... Dorothy putting on lipstick . . . Joe happily smearing rouge . and Mrs. Pierce valiantly struggling with lines. And they couldn’t forget the outstanding work of the advertising committee with posters ... announcements... skits over the loud speaker .. . Paul arousing curiosity .’. . doing a good job of selling our play. ” The senior cast of our school drama has presen- ted a performance worthy of the praise it received. They have learned the meaning of “success through unity.”
