(Junior Senior Meena Mabbitt and Aunt Caroline t,t. Clayton Who Killed Aunt Caroline , the annual Junior-Senior play, was presented on October 24. The plot was built around the Endicotts, a poor middle-western family. Mrs. Endicott, played by Annalyn Thompson, asked rich but miserly Aunt Caroline for money so that Agnes, Anna Lee Peterson, might quit her .job and marry David Thompson, Harold Porter, and Riccy, Harrison Fairbanks, could go to college. While drinking tea at the Endicotts, Aunt Caroline, played by Consuelo Martinez, was poisoned. The plot thickened as several people were suspected and several confessed. The play, which was full of suspense, climaxed when Dolores Benavidez, as Meena Maboitt, Aunt Caroline's companion, confessed to the killing of Aunt Caroline. Other members of the cast were Mrs. Endicott's two youngest daughters, Beryl, Jessie Louise Bass, and Cicely Elena Blake, Frances Vallero as Louise McLain, Louise Billingsley, as Qna Hagaman, Bill Lines as Dan Donovan, Phillip Lawson as Lt. Clayton, and Alfredo Contreras as the Latin teacher. Aunt Caroline's death 26
