30 THE CLARION Where did you come from? asked Tom, looking around him. And where did the ghosts go to? There aren't any ghosts, said Lucy. Ghosts are just a superstition. But there is, too, said Tom. He was going to stick a needle in me that was about a yard longff You've been dreaming, said Anna. We just got here in time, said Mr. Hanley. That air in here would have got the best of him in a- bout five minutes. We thought he wouldn't have a 'ghost of a chance', said Jerry. And I thought I was go- ing to have some fun and play a good joke on Tom. I won't ever do any- thing like that again! So they all took Toni home and he soon complete- ly recovered from his ghostly shock. The children vowed they would never go for a walk near that graveyard a- gain.

THE CLARION 29 n't find it. Then he began to scream and call for his friends, but could hear no answer. He then gave up and sat down and cried. Later, all of a sudden he looked up and saw a light coming towards him in the darkness. He clung to the seat on which he was sitting. He was hor- rified, because coming toward him was a bloody ghost!! Tom edged back and the ghost said, Don't be fright- ened little boy. I'm not going to hurt you,-now. Tom couldn't say a word. He just stared at the ghost. Come with me, said the ghost. I want to show you something. Tom didn't budge, so the ghost grabbed him by the arm and then pushed him through dark passages all lined with caskets and mummies. Tom shuddered and pulled his jacket up around his neck. Soon they came to a small dark room. The ghost opened the squeaking door and they both entered, followed by a couple more ghosts which had been following them for about two minutes. When they got inside Tom saw all sorts of caskets and tables and queer looking apparatus that he had never seen before in his wildest dreams. It was an awfully creepy looking place with hardly any light at all and the weird objects in the room made Tom more frightened than ever. He started to leave and just as he got to the door, one ghost yanked him back by the col- lar of his jacket. Not so fast, said he, where do you think you're go- ing? I want to go home, pleaded Tom. The ghost laughed. I don't think you'll be going home-ever! Tom was speechless. Not going home -ever! For heavens sake, what were they going to do with him? ? He just could- n't understand what it was all about. Just then the first ghost said, Now Ithink we're all ready to begin. What are you going to do to me? asked Tom. Well, said the ghost, We're going to experiment with you. What do you mean 'experiment'? asked Tom. We're going to inject some of this liquid into you and see if you become a ghost just like us. Ev- ery night we go out in the graveyard and when people Walk by, we grab them and drag them inside this tomb, into and then we inject some of this them and they become ghosts, or All whatever we Want them to be. those mummies and caskets that you this saw while you were coming to room are all of our experiments. Then Tom remembered hearing peo- ple talk about the strange disappear- ance of some of the townspeople dur- ing the last five years or so. . Well, said one ghost, let's go. He started towards Tom. Tom started to run for the door, but found it guard- ed by another ghost. He ran all around the room, bumping into tables and ev- erything, with the ghosts after him. He screamed, but it naturally did him no good. Then he fell on the floor be- cause he was so exhausted, and the ghost caught him and picked him up, putting him on the table near-by. Tom kicked and wiggled and squirmed, but it was of no use. They were tying him down with mummy-cloth. One ghost took a six-inch long, slender, liquid-filled needle and leaned over Tom. Tom tried to scream, but noth- ing would come out but whispers. He fainted and one of the ghosts grabbed his arm and started shaking him. He opened his eyes and there was Lucy, Anna, Jerry and Mr. Hanley.

THE CLARION 31 The airplanes and ships are hard to build So let's begin it now with each heart fulfilled. D. S. '46 ilk!!! THE ,ELIZABETHAN THEATRE The Elizabethan theatres were very different from our theatres today. They had none of the modern lighting facilities which make our plays so much more beautiful. Women were not allowed to act on the stage and all women's parts were taken by young men. There were little or no proper- ties or scenery. A chair or bench and other pieces of furniture that were needed in the play had to provide both scenery and setting. Today we do our best to make the stage look as nearly like the real thing as possible. Modern theatre seats are placed in fairly regular rows and are offered to rich and poor alike. In the Elizabethan theatre, groundlings were forced to stand on the ground in front of the stage throughout the performance. The best seats were in the galleries where the merchants and gentry sat. Over the stage was the lord's room and here the aristocrats sat. The young gallants of the period occupied the front of the stage throughout the play, strutting up and down and showing off in a manner which an- noyed the actors. Even the stage itself was differ- ent from the stages of today. The out- er stage was divided into three parts. Behind this, separated from it by a curtain, was the inner stage. Here such scenes as the witches' cavern in Macbeth were presented. Over this was a tower from which a flag was raised when the play was about to begin. Even with all the 'inconveniences of the old theatres, drama ruled the day. Not only professionals, but also scholars and courtiers tried their hands at writing plays. They were as popular then as the movies are today and were enjoyed by rich and poor a- like. This was the real beginning of our modern drama and, although we have a great advantage over the E- lizabethan times, some of their plays are still being presented today as great writings. R. W.
