“My dear, you look so kind.” MUST FALL” “Well, I’m goin’ to be hanged in the end . . . But they’ll get their money’s worth at the trial. You wait!” Under the capable direction of Mrs. Agnes Lynch, with the aid of Lynda Ver- plank, Student Director, the Senior Class of 1962 presented the 3 act play “Night Must Fall” written by Emlyn Williams. It was the story of psycopathic killer, who after committing one murder, comes to live with a fussy old woman as her “son” with the intention of killing her for her money. Olivia, the old woman’s niece, both repelled and attracted to Dan, feels there is something behind his strange be- havior. Not until the discovery of the murdered woman with her head severed, does she suspect that he is the murderer. Suspense builds as Dan’s hatbox which is just the size to hold a head is discovered. Dan finally murders Mrs. Bramson, but justice reigns and in the end the police take him away to be hanged, leaving Olivia re- lieved but desolate. The people behind the scenes are as important as the cast itself. (1. to r.) D. Rainford, L. Ver- plank, C. Bublitz, and A. Lynch. m s? y.V.v

As they walked along the path, they threw pennies in a wishing well, stopped and chatted on the park benches, and found time to dance to the band of Mickey Isley. Then they walked down “Main Street” until they came to the Queen’s throne, just in time for the crowning of Sheryl and Larry get refreshments at the Ice Cream Parlor. They were served by Pam and Phil. Servers, dressed in their costumes of the ’90’s, added to the atmosphere. Left to right are as follows: R. Fieser, R. Hardt, M. Johnston, G. Gill, P. Marshall, T.
