fi SQLDIERS DREAM NA Soldier's Dreamn was presented by the music department for the Christmas program. The stage settings and lighting effects were under the direction of the public speaking department. The play was written by two faculty members, Mrs. Irene Cramer and Sarah Moyer. WA Soldier's Dreamn was based on the famous poem, UBootsW,by Kip- ling. At the opening of the play three weary soldiers, played by Bill Schafer, David Anderson and James Shafer, are gathered around a camp- fire vainly trying to catch a few minutes rest. Each soldier is aware that this is Christmas Eve and they try to recapture the feeling by relating tales from other and happier Christmas days. As they tell of these events the stories are enacted at the back of the stage. However, after each soldier has told his own story, they all seem to fall back again into a feeling of despondency and the echo of marching feet crowds all other thoughts from their minds. The words of the poem WBootsN--as read by the reader--keeps this thought ever in the foreground. It is not until the soldiers realize that God gave His Son to the world that His people might have Hpeace on earthnthat they are able to conquer the feeling of despondency and the play ends very effectively with the singing of NSilent Nightn by the junior and senior choirs. MUSIC FESTIVAL The annual music festival of Liberty, Rawson, Benton Ridge, and Mount Cory was held at Liberty Township Centralized School on April 25. The festival alternates each year among the schools. This year as in others, Mount Cory was actively interested and strongly repre- sented on the program. Miss Moyer, our instructor, arranged a varied program. Jim Scott, Daryl Amstutz, Jim Anderson and Bob Hursey composed the highly favored boys' quartet. The girls' ensemble was composed of the following: Dorothy Elzay, Joan Carr, Marilyn Reiter, Ruth Jones, Geniece Wagner, Bette Schafer,Jane Dukes, Marilyn Steiner, Arlene Schaller and Eleanor Steiner. The girls' glee club also sang two numbers. Mount Cory for the first year, had a mixed chorus. Thelma Welty played a violin solo. The entire program was an inspiration to the participating schools.

The senior class under the direction of Mrs.lrene Cramer present- ed the playHMurder Mansionuby Orville Snapp.The suggestive date chosen for this mystery play was Friday, April l5. Marilyn Steiner and Daryl Amstutz were mistress and master of ceremonies. The stage crew was led by Jim Andersong and the poster, ticket, and program committee was di- rected by Kathryn Peterson. Lorence Werner and Anna Mary Grow were the news editors, and Eileen Steiner directed the ushers. The setting of the play centered around the lovely,young Carlotta Cramer, who through the death of her Uncle Ewing, inherited a lonely old mansion off the coast of Maine. She could hardly wait to see the mansion, so accompanied by her colored maid,Ophelia, and her Aunt,Mimi Spaulding, she started on a tour of inspection. From the instant Car- lotta and her party entered the mansion they were subject to a set of highly mysterious and baffling incidents. By the time they succeeded in locating Mary Marley, the housekeeper in charge, they were in a state of near collapse. The housekeeper added more to their fear by telling them that Carlotta's Uncle didn't die a natural death but was murdered. Inspector Hicks arrived just as a body arrived in a trunk and the murders and mystery of UMurder Mansionn were solved.
