Wbrcester. This tells the recipe. Take one cold-blooded murder, add to it a human skeleton, blood- female curdling shrieks, unearthly noises, a Sherlock Holmes, a half-witted servant, a jeal- ous woman, a vicious dog, a beautiful girl, an international crook, flavor with comedy and sweeten with a secret love affair. Pour into a lonely lodge, shake well and serve with thunder and lightning and you will enjoy the taste of this mystery. The cast of characters was: James Gordon ....,,..,..............,.,..

There are twenty-two students enrolled in this class this year, many of whom have had little or no previous instructions in music of any kind. In this class, the pupils study sight reading, scale and chord formations, music his- tory, and music appreciation. They meet three periods each week and receive the same credit as is given for senior glee club work. l9l STUDENT BODY PLAYS This year for the first time, three One-Act Plays were presented by the student body, in place of the usual three-act play. The plays were coached by Miss Billie Hilliard. A PATERNITY CASE Beverly Kane .,.,,,,,,,,,.,,................,.,., Curtis Young Hester Kane .....,..,,,.,,,,,,...,.,........
