Gloom, dispair, and agony on me!!! Mourning over the rumored death of one of the characters, Tri Zeta girls blow their noses in sadness. photo by Micah Brinkley Mystery Unfolds at F-I-IC!!! At 10:30 A.M. on October 9, 1986, Loyd Auditorium became the scene of a gruesome murder. A man was shot, or stabbed, or both. Who would commit such an act? Who really took the stolen plates? This tangled mystery carried us to Africa, France, a nice little rock with millions of sides in Australia, and even to the meat locker of our very own Gano Dining Hall. Yes, chapel skits took on a whole new dimension during the fall semester. To add a little sparkle to the traditional skits, Dr. Hen- ry Hank McDaniel came up with the idea of using a Cliff Hanger as the theme for all of the skits. You may be asking Where in the world did you get this idea, Hank? Where else but the kiddie matinee serials he used to attend on Saturday mornings as a young boy. From this idea, Dr. McDaniel and Mrs. Pam Brown wrote the first episode of The Shanghai Express. This was enacted by a group of faculty members and was followed up by each club individually. Each club had to use their imagination to continue the plot Lady Liberty!!!

It was quite a challenge for each club to add their own style and creative talents to make their segment unique. Dr. McDaniel felt that this opportunity to spark the imagination was one of the serial's good points. One of the serial's bad points was some of the clubs didn't have a good concept of the whole idea and what they were supposed to do. Although it offered an alternative to the traditional chapel skit where each club used any particular theme they wanted, some stu- dents felt that a serial was too restrictive. lt forced the clubs to be creative but it also limited them, said Shelby Merryman, se- nior. As with any new thing, it had its draw- backs. Whether or not we will see chapel skits as serials again remains to be seen. Dr. McDan- iel would like to try it again but this time have a group of faculty and students sit down and plan the whole series together. It is 11:00 A.M. and the murder remains unsolved. We're still left hanging as we end our ride on The Shanghai Express. W
