Defense Attorney Ronald Audenried confers with secretary Dawn Male and the defendant, Beatrice Knecht, as Beverly Werkheiser, Prison Matron, looks on. 3. As Attorney Stevens watches, the defendant, Beatrice Knecht, questions Nama Rissmiller, widow of the murdered man. On March 2 and 3, the senior class presented The Night of January 16, a three act play, under the direction of Franklyn Kostenbader. The unusual setting for this mysterious comedy was a court room. Bjorn Faulkner, a Swedish financial juggler, had either been murdered so Miss Andre and her sweet- heart, Larry Regan, could live a luxurious life in South America, or Faulkner had attempted a fake suicide so that he and Miss Andre could live in- cognito in South America. Ronald Audenried as Attorney Stevens defended Karen Andre, while John Graver as District Attorney Flint represented the state of New York. Twelve jurors, chosen from the audience for each perform- ance, found Karen Andre not guilty at Friday’s, but guilty at Saturday’s performance. 26
