Harris, Jr., Berlin Galford Story of the Play Here is a play in the best tradition of such famous thrillers as “The Bat,” “The Cat and the Canary ' etc. The action of the entire play takes place in “One Mad Night,” and what a crazy night it is! Don Cut- ter. a playwright, accompanied by Wing, his proverb-quoting Chinese valet, goes to the Cutter mansion, a lonely house in the hills, to complete his latest play in peace and quiet. The house has been deserted for years, a series of mysterious murders having given it the reputation of being haunted. Imagine Don’s as- tonishment when he finds the house tenanted by a number of very strange people, including “John Alden,” “Priscilla,” “Mr. Hyde,” and “Lady Macbeth.” They are lunatics, under the care of Dr. Bunn, whose home nearby has burned down. They are really quite harmless, but Don doesn’t know this — and the audience has a riotous time at his discomfiture. Among the inmates is Lucille, a beautiful girl with an amazing story of persecution and intrigue. Like a true Lochinvar, Don is just about to ride to her rescue when his fiancee ana her mother put in an appearance with their maid, Depression — one of the funniest colored charac- ters in years. From this point, everything happens, including talking ghosts, screaming women, disappear- ing guests and, for a climax, the appearance on the scene of an escaped murderer fleeing for his life. Don succeeds in rescuing the lovely Lucille from a sinister fate only after a series of thrillingly funny esca- pades. By the time the final curtain falls, the audience is weak from laughter and ready to admit that “One Mad Night” is the last word in rapid-fire hilarity.

 The Greenbank Chapter of Future Homemakers of America consists of 64 girls. The Club strives to teach the girls the art of homemaking. In keeping with the motto “Toward New Horizons” each member tries to attain better home and family life. Each fall freshmen girls, meeting certain qualifications, join the club by initiation. Being taken into the Club consists of a day of folly and a very serious initiation by candlelight the following day. The meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month during the fifth period. One of the high- lights of the programs was an Easter Parade of styles dating from 1900 to the “new look” of ’48. Every spring our thoughts turn to our Annual Spring Party. Each member invites whom she wishes to accompany her. Of course everyone enjoys the occasion thoroughly. In the spring the chapter is represented by three delegates to the regional and each summer the Club is represented at the State Meeting at Jackson’s Mill by three delegates. The officers elected to serve the club this year are as follows: President .... Vice President Secretary ..... Treasurer ..... Representative Jeanne Sheets Maxine Vandevander .... Patty McPherson ...... Clara Sutton ..... Freda Rexrode Reporter ....... Song Leader ... Historian ...... Parliamentarian Pianist ........ ..... Louise Shears .... Kathleen Ryder ....
