SENIOR CLASS PLAY HHOBGOBLIN HOUSEU Darius Krupp --------------- Bob Bruce Miss Priscilla Carter--Agnes Drummer Marian Carter Jill Carter-- Frank Harlow- Jack Loring-- Susan Parkins Henry Goober- Delilah Worts ---Bernice Edwards ----Dorothy Dowden -------Carl Meyers ----Jim Baumberger Miriam Leiendecker ---Dale Richardson ------Helen Wagner Bluebeard Bronson ----- Herbert Emrick Bill Wilkins ------------- Donald Moor The Headless Phantom ------------- ??? The plot concerned a house, which, in order to keep the owners from discovering a kidnapping plot, was haunted to frighten them away. Bob took the part of the old caretaker in a splendid manner. His part was very difficult to play, and the way in which he did it was a credit to our school. . Agnes, in the part of the dignified spinster, was su- perb in that character. Her two nieces, in the personages of Dot and Bernice, were playedewith much abilityu t - A B B as The two boy friends of the girls were played by Carl and Jim, in which parts they did very well indeed. Bluebeard Bronson was done in the inimitable style of Herbert Emrick, and his queer manner added much to the mys- tery of the play, Donald took the part of Bill Wilkins with great suc- cess and Evelyn produced the surprise ending and the ghast- ly effect of the hanging head. The humorous element was done in a very clever manner by Dale and Helen, as colored servants, and Miriam as the HHenglish 'ouskeeper.n The weird off-stage effects produced the atmosphere of mystery. This cast was coached by Mr. Cummins and Mr. Brand, to whom the success of the play can be accredited,
