FDR PETE' SAKE For Pete's Sakes, a comedy farce, was presented by the Junior class on November 24, 1953. The action began when Miss Sarah Pepperdine decided to take a trip to the Holy Land. After she left to catch the boat, her nephew, Peter Pepperdine, and his friend, Bill Bradshaw, whom Miss Pep- perdine dislikes very much, decided to rent her house. Upon renting the house to the Clarkstons, a social climber and her two daughters, Miss Pepper- dine suddenly became afraid of the water and called Peter and told him that she was returning home very soon. In order to get the Clarkstons out of the house he told jasmine, the darky cook, to tell them that the house was haunted. But in order to make jasmine believe this the two boys had to just about scare her to death. The climax came when Miss Pepperdine returned and found the Clarkstons still occupying her home.

Just lookin' for clues - Richard Scheibner Hercules and Wilber exchanging debts before death - R. Scheibner, A. Brown,'R. Schroeder 7mm Hercules Nelson and his bosom pal, Wilbur Maxwell, come to spend the week end with Hercules' aunt and uncle. Hercules knows his uncle has taken a new job, but he doesn't know until too late that his uncle is a mortician. The boys are terrified, and decide to head for home, when another guest appears. The guest is jason Quigley, who ran out of gas, and the funeral is to be held Monday. Wilbur spots Celeste, Hercules' cousin, and decides to stay. Mr. Quigley turns out to be quite alive. He thinks someone tried to do away with him, so a plan is evolved: He'd make his family think he was dead, then show up at his own funeral and trap the guilty party. Herc's for leaving, until he sees Nina, the deceased's granddaughter, and he decides to stay. No doubt Mr. Quigley's plan was good, but when Wilbur and Hercules set out no solve the case, 'matters go from worse to terrible. Hercules tips off Nina that her grandpop's alive and Uncle Bob, being impli- cated, is mistakenly carted off to the klink. The boys finally come face to face with the culprit, after first getting everyone out of the house who could help them, and finally es- cape with their necks, -but not before one of the wildest finishes ever.
