SENIOR PLAY This year the Senior class chose a mystery drama Whispering Walls. The entire setting took place in the living room of an old ghost-haunted witch house in the outskirts of Salem, Massachu- setts. Doctor Rosmer had performed a facial operation on Mr. Mattox in order to change his identity as the Phoenix, a notori- ous international criminal. Thelma Rosmer, the doctor ' s niece, discovered the fact that Mattox was wanted by the police. She was comforted by Mr. Hughes, the supposed owner of the house. Julia Nelson was in search of Bixby, her lover. She was informed in a seance held by a medium, Lulu Hatch, that he was murdered. In the end a stranger appeared and disclosed the fact that he had made all the queer sounds that had frightened the servants, Nancy and Mike Beggs, Queenie, the colored wash-woman, and Hortense Hatch, Lulu ' s sister. The stranger also states that Nemo, a lunatic, has been deranged by the doctor. He was really a detective, and before he could be returned to sanity, the doctor died of a heart attack. In the confusion Mattox jumped over a hundred foot cliff to escape arrest by Hughes, a G-man. This play was under the splendid direction of Mr. Chester Story. Through the hard and skillful work of the production staff, the cast, and the coach, the play was one of the most successful ones ever produced by the high school. [ 20 ]
