Friday, January 12th, a senior distinf guished himself from unus e plebe by the committee's decree that he should come to school garhed as some well known character of stage, screen, radio,or fiction. Ah-what fantastic persons float in his memories as he strives to recall classmates: that simple, homespun characterization of that famous epic Gone with the Gin so true and down to earth. uWhat's this fa man from Mars? No, only a portrayal of one, by one of our foremost mechanical bugs. Then to dispell such disquieting influences comes the neat prim lass in her lovely gown of the late nineties -Cborn forty years too latej. One unique classroom experience lin' gers, as that Gypsy troubadour skillfully gave us arias on his violin. With that pleasant memory, the scene fades, leaving us with this bitter truth: 'lthem days is gone forever l ! Fnzsr Row-F. Lordi, M. Carlson, S. Price, R. Biorcli, W. Gilwson, M. Perazzoni, L.

semblies and awed shelf members . . 20175 party in the The Night of January 16th 'LYou be the jury is the key phrase in the production 'iThe Night of January 16th. The action revolves around the trial of Karen Andre, who is on trial for the murder of her employer. A jury is selected from the audience to determine the outcome of the play. The facts of the case are these: A body supposedly Faulkner's is found at the foot of the Faulkner Building from which. it was thrown, a mangled mass, with two bullet holes in it Circumstantial evidence indicates suicide because Faulkner was on the verge of financial ruin. The motive against the accused, Karen Andre, held that she was infuriated when Faulkner married Nancy Whitfield, the daughter of the wealthy philanthropist. As the action progresses we learn of Karen Andre being involved in a plot with Regan, the notorious racketeer, to kill Faulkner by making it look like a suicide and then escape to South America with ten million dollars of Faulkner's fortune. There is a confusion of corpses. One corpse is that of an unknown gangster, whose body was procured by the racketeer, Regan, and thrown from the top of the Faulkner Building. The other body was Faulkner's, found in a wrecked airplane in New jersey, thus implicatf ing pilot Whitfield. There are many confusing quirks to the play, all of which contribute to the real mystery murf der trial. l27l PLAY CAST FIRST Row Flint, Grant: Nancy Lee. lletrakg judge, Smith: Karen Andre, Tinkerg Stevens.
