Page 14 The Haunted Chair HE CLASS play presented by the seniors ofjanuary, 1939 was a three act mystery comedy entitled, The Haunted Chair . The play concerned the wealthy bachelor, John Baxter, who met his death in a mysterious way. His nephew, Dr. Henry Stanley, and Lucille Page, Mr. Baxter's ward, were the first to arrive upon the scene. Then Bob Baxter and his fiancee, Peggy Moore, made their entrance. Nellie Kennedy, a vivacious young woman, saught the house as a refuge because of the rain and the motor trouble of her automobile. Inspector Dennis Gilhooley, who was suspicious of everybody, was called in to solve the mystery. Jeffrey Fallon, accompanied by Mrs. Kitty Burlove, an unkown sister of the deceased came to the home to read the will. Mrs. Mable Moore made her appearance to rescue her daughter, Peggy, after she had received a mysterious phone call. The mystery was finally solved by Miss Kennedy who was really at the head of the Kennedy Detective Agency. The drama was brought to a close by the arrival of Mr. Baxter on the scene, the arrest of Jeffrey Fallen, and a better understanding be- tween Mr. Baxter and his two nephews. Comedy was furnished throughout the play by two negro servants of John Baxter, Lazy and Liza Lee. The Haunted Chair Cast of Characters Mr. ,l01'1U BHXICI. . ......,. ..... . ......... .....

Seniors January Class Officers B. Twitc, Z. Wing, W. Taylor, B. Schlegel. AN EPOCH in the annals of civic history occurred a decade ago when the first senior class, having completed their course of study, crossed the newly-constructed stage to receive their diplomas, thus becoming the first graduates of Logan High School. Because of constant progress, a 1939 graduate receives a broader education than these former graduates. These steps of advancement have made school-life more en- joyable as well as more educational: athletic teams, a cappella choir, school paper, annual, movie machine, art exhibit, and all the organizations within the student body which strive to teach hovv to live with others. The members of the january, 1939 class were gifted in various fields. Zane Wing led his class in scholastic honors. Others outstanding Were Betty Schlegel, Warren Taylor, Arlene Affeldt, Howard Witzke, Beverly Hansen, Gale Weiss and Wallace Olson claimed honors for athletic abilities. The election of class ofiicers resulted in the selection of the valedictorian as president. Other ofiicers were Warren Taylor, vice-president, Betty Schlegel, secretary, and Beverly Tvvite, treasurer. The athletic department realized a keen loss since there was a large number of willing participants in the class. The music department received the cooperation of many seniors, with several serving in the band and orchestra, twelve singing in the a cappella choir, and others taking part in the annual operettas and Christmas programs.
