On March fwenfy-second, fhe Class of forfy-six dramafized fhe Arcadian comedy Marigold. As in pasf years, Miss Myrfle Hufchins received a well deserved ovafion for her direcfing. The plof of Marigold is sef in fhe very early Vicforian period, and a brief synopsis of fhe acfion follows: Marigold, daughfer of Major Andrew Sellar and his esfranged wife, Claire Marly. fhe French acfress, is engaged fo marry James Payfon, Laird of Keffinfoof. However, Archie Forsyfh, Lieufenanf in fhe Fiffy-fhird Regimenf, and nephew of fhe Misses Val- encia and Sarifa Dunlop, meefs Marigold af Mrs. Pringle's home, where she has been living. Affer many hilarious happenings, Marigold and Archie are unifed wifh fhe help of Mrs. Pringle and Madame Marly.

She ran quickly down fhe sfreef, pasf fhe light on fhe corner fhaf fhrew grofesque shadows on fhe frees along fhe walk. They were spooky, even fhough she was sixfeen, going on sevenfeen.

Then she and Liz conquered fhe English assignmenf, lisfened 'ro fhe radio, heard some new records, and iusf plain gossiped.

Buf fhe sfreef lighf was near and Gilberf's house was iusf around fhe corner. She had reached fhe Iighf and furned fhe corner when she saw someone coming foward her. In spife of fhe facf fhaf he was some disfance away in fhe fog, she could see his oufline almosf perfecfly, as fhough he weren'f a real person af all buf somefhing fhaf had suddenly appeared ouf of fhe misf.

And besides, fhe solid is imporfanf. She moved forward. Then, as a dog howled balefully some- where, if seemed as if fhe figure came nearer. ln spife of her common sense and deferminafion, in- sfincf conquered reason and she ran, quickly, nof looking back, pasf fhe Iighf, info fhe darkness and fog, up fhe sfreef, racing againsf whafever if was back fhere. She pounded up fhe sfeps and flung open fhe door, only fo collapse on fhe rug, panfing so fhaf she could nof speak. Whaf is fhe maffer? Why ever were you running so fasf?

If was really more of a shadow fhan a person buf if musf have been a person. If was kind of scary buf I fold myself we lisfened fo foo many 'Inner Sancfums.' I sfarfed foward Gilberf's. A dog howled somewhere and suddenly I was awfully afraid, and I was running like a fiend. Golly, I could pracfically feel if breafhing on my neck. Jusf a sec, l'll draw you a picfure of if. Buf wasn'f if a silly fhing fo do? She could skefch rafher well and in a minufe she had fhe image of whaf had frighfened her on paper.

Would you like me fo walk down wifh you? No fhanks, I guess I don'f really need any help. Acfually she did need help, buf she did nof wanf fo go back fhere, even wifh her mofher. She was afraid, almosf more fhan she knew of fhaf sfrange being or fhing af fhe corner. If was an infang- ible fear made of many fhings: fhe radio program, fhe childhood fear of fhe dark in everyone's sub- conscious, fhe eerie howl of fhe dog af fhe psychological momenf, fhe sl-range qualify of fhe shadowy shape. All fhese composed her fear and imbedded fhemselves deeply in 'lhe back of her mind. She passed if off as a momenfary weakness, and sfarfed sfudying her solid geomefry. Her mofher said fhaf if was foo lafe fo sfudy and as she couldn'f make much sense of if, she wenf fo bed hoping fo gef up early and sfudy. Buf she was foo rushed. She should have known she would be! She fook fhe exam and flunked. She couldn'T very well Tell Professor abouf The Thing aT The corner and why she hadn'T sfudied. IT was so brainless To do a Thing like Thaf. She wouldn'T ever do iT again. The exam would spoil her mark, buf by hard work she could make if up. Thaf was The firsf Time she saw The figure. The second Time was af college. She was an Arfs major and was especially inferesfed in painfing, Thinking To develop her Talenf if she had any real Talenf. On The campus There was a confesf To choose The besf canvas from The arf classes: The arTisT was To be awarded a European scholarship. She TeI+, deep down inside Thaf she had a rafher good chance of winning, for she had seen The work of The ofher sfudenfs andheard whaf Mr. Healy had Told Them.

The evening before The confesf opened, she was presenf aT an informal gafhering aT The dean's house. The conversafion Turned Toward The supernafural as someone recounfed his experience aT a seance. Discussing reincarna- Tion, They discovered several people who had seen or who knew someone who had seen ghosfs. Acfual ghosfs of people They knew. This was scoffed aT.by The skepfics who are presenf in any group. She was Thinking of This as she leff To go To The library for some reference maferial. IT was rafher odd To Think Thaf people could acfually see ghosfs, buf Then perhaps some people really Thoughf They could. IT was sprinkling, sorT of a misfy drizzle Thaf was refreshing affer The sfuffiness of a day spenf in- side. The lighfs from The dormifory shone behind as she neared The library. Someone seemed To be coming from The library, and as she drew closer she could see +ha+ iT was noT a person buf The Thing. Thaf Thing Thaf had a human oufline buf had more Than ThaT: The malevolenf rays of lighf filfered by The misf, always reaching, reaching for her, buf never quife grasping her. She was pefrified wifh Terror. Whaf should she do? Whaf would IT do? Hearing foofsfeps behind her, she Turned slighfly, wafching The frighfful apparifion. To her horror, iT Turned Too, as if lisfening, buf came no closer. IT was Mr. Healy, wanfing To Talk To her abouf The confesf. As if he were The Prince Charming who had awakened her from This charmed sleep, she seemed again able To move and managed a few coherenf syllables. He remarked Thaf she seemed upseT, buf she could noT Tell him whaf was bofhering her. Affer The Talk aT The dean's house he'd say her imaginafion was overworked. Keeping up a prefense of Talking, she reached The dorm and her room only To find ThaT she was shaking so Thaf she could noT sfand. IT she could have Told someone abouf if, she would have felf much beTTer even Though he would have laughed. Keeping if To herself seemed To magnify iT. Her firsT fear of This Thing had sTruck home and was deeper Than she had guessed. Well, look aT her reacfionl IT was so uTTerly wifhouf reason To go To pieces over such a small Thing, a coincidence, Thaf iT seemed To be an animal fear Thaf she could nof conTrol. Yef she musf confrol if. She mighf see more of These Things. IT she did This every Time she saw one, people would Think her queer. OT course There had been insane arTisTs, buf she wasn'T famous yeT and could nof afford such eccenfricifies. Seeing iT, she should have invesfigafed iT insfead of running away. She should keep The upper hand in These Things. ThaT nighf she had nighfmares abouf iT. She would Turn a corner and There if was. Anofher corner, There iT was. Anofher and anofher. There if was, always in fronf of her befween her and her goal. She woke up panfing as Though she had been running for a long Time. The nexf few days she was nervous and cross. When Mr. Healy offered a few crificisms on her new canvas, she blew up so complefely Thaf he suspended her from class for Two weeks. Thaf meanf she'd never be able To finish a good canvas in Time To enfer if in The confesf. And all because of her non- sensically childish fear of Thaf sfrange shadow. She was defermined Thaf if would nof defeaf her. She began a course in psychology and sfudied The hidden fears unTil she felT she undersfood hers com- plefely and could overcome The shadow if if again appeared. Affer Thaf, she began doing beT'I'er and beffer work. lf was Too bad Thaf she had losf her self-conTrol before The confesf, buf she could enTer again nexf year. She was driving home. Driving home in spring recess of her senior year To Tell her moTher ThaT she had won The scholarship in arf. She was Terribly happy. She didn'T Think she'd ever been so happy, noT even The Time she had gone To her firsf formal iusf affer The braces had come off, and The boy had shyly said she looked awful nice! IT was raining, really misfing. Buf she liked driving in The rain even if iT was slippery because iT was so cosy in The car. The radio was playing. IT was a song Thaf she had heard aT one of The dances and if Took her back. She was awakened from her musings by The piercing lighf in fronf of The STaTe Police Headquarfers. Blinding her momenfarily, if was soon behind her. She noficed a car coming wifhouf lighfs and dimmed her own. Why The driver musf be crazy! He's way over on my side. IT came sfeadily nearer and nearer. Franfically she puf on The brakes. The car swerved, skidding on The glassy, rain-swepf surface. For an insfanf she saw The oufline of The driver in The oncoming car, crouched infenfly over The wheel, peering ouT af her. Too lafe she saw him vanish. Too lafe she realized if was only The shadow of her own car casf on The fog by The lighf behind her. The car crashed sickeningly. Pafsy Shumaker al. at sf. af. af.
