THE GHOST PARADE Under the direction cf Mrs. H. A. Rush, the senior class presented The Ghost Parade on April 3, 1959. Ann and her friend, Mamie Rose, had come from New York to take possession of the country hotel which Ann had inher- ited. But instead of a prosperous establishment, they found a ramshackle old building with the guests leaving and the ghosts taking over. Weird figures stole through the halls at night and everyone was frightened out of his wits. The girls were frightened, too, but they pluckily stood their ground as other developments followed: A treasure map wa3 stolen, and their very lives were threatened. But they had friends to help them: a pair of attractive young menand a troupe of movie actors w h o had arrived at the hotel and provided excitement and a number of grand parts. In the third act the excitement rose to its highest point: a storm wailed outside, a weird greenish light shone through the windows, and the friends within were terrified by things natural and supernatural This three-act mystery-farce was full of both mystery and comedy.
