Phoebe Beebe ...... Margaret Gregory Edward Miller . Jean Neighbor The senior class play, The Mummy and the Mumps, was presented at the Whit- mer gymnasium, Tuesday evening, October 22. The play was directed by Miss Marshall, the dramatics teacher. Sir Hector Fish, an English archaeologist who is supposed to arrive at the Fennela Girl's School and become a teacher, is detained in New York in quarantine with the mumps, however he gets into the mummy case and expresses himself to the school. Meanwhile, Brisky Briscoe, a friend of William Laidlaw, arrives at the school and im- personates Sir Hector. The many perplexing identities cause the affair to become quite complicated. In the end, everyone's true identity is discovored, and everybody is satis- fied, that is, except Racker, who wants to know what's become of the mummy!

Miss Priscilla Carter, peeved because her two nieces have fallen in love with two silly young nincompoops, purchases the grim old Hobgood House in the foothills of the Ozarks. In this seclusion she plans safe retreat where the girls shall not see their lovers for six months-or the penalty of being disinherited. As luck would have it, they arrive on the night that old Bluebeard Bronson, who once committed a murder, is supposed to visit the house. And what a mess they get into-ghosts and ghostly doings everywhere, but in the end the villains are captured and the lovers are reunited.

H. S. Station R. H. S. has done much to increase the spirit and pep of the school. This year, with Miss Lichtenwalter as admiral and Pat Krieghbaum at the helm, the staff's course took in a new stretch of ocean. Among the accomplishments on this journey were the order- ing of staff jewelry, a party at North Judson for the staffs of school papers in the northern section of Indiana, chili suppers, and spon- soring a dance. The entire crew have been faithful seamen in the task of pilot- ing Station R. H. S. to port after an interesting and successful year. J. M P. A H B. J. M I. B. 0. B. B.
