On the morning of November 28, 1985, at 10:00 AM, Inspec- tor Cat returned to the old graduation site of Memorial Hall to look for answers. First, he scanned the outside of the building try- ing to find some clue as to the possibility of the new site. The facts of the closing of Memorial Hall were public record, but no one seemed to have any evidence which would lead to finding the new site. Entering the building, he walked down the aisle where the spirits of past seniors seemed to fill the air and linger in the hall, remembering the last march of all the past SHS seniors. Realizing, at last, that there were no clues here, only memories. Inspector Cat returned to South and urged the student body and staff to join in the search for more evidence. This case appeared to be more baffling than the Inspector had first believed and it was time to go to the heart of the problem.

On the afternoon of January 23, 1986, at 1:30 PM, Inspector Cat once again began to piece together information he had gathered from suspects and incriminating evidence. The solution was close at hand, but the Inspector knew that he must make one last stakeout and to accomplish this, he must go undercover. By fading into the student body, Inspector Cat realized he would be able to solve the mystery. Overhearing gossip, searching for files in out-of-way places, and questioning witnesses was the only way to find the final pieces of this intriguing puzzle. The Inspector knew that he was placing himself in the danger of being asked a question in class, of getting lost in the circulation room of the library, or getting a penalty for talking in study hall, but danger was all in a day ' s work for the Inspector and he was willing to put his life on the line to solve this case.
