On the morning of January 13, 1986, at 10:40 AM, Inspector Cat began to check out the building for final clues. Christmas vacation was over and students were preparing for a new semester. The inspector felt sure that in the excitement and bus- tle of final exams someone would get careless. A casual move- ment or a slip of the tongue would be all that the Inspector need- ed to break this case wide open and now seemed the perfect time to put a tight surveillance on everyone. To the Inspector everyone was equally suspicious and no one escaped the sharp eye of the South High School sleuth. Beginning with the new prin- cipal who had just recently moved to town and had no proof of his past activities except what he said, right down to the athletic director who had a record of long distance phone calls, money that he passed out to various athletic groups, and contacts all over the state, the Inspector spared no one in his search. Every department had to account for its activities and every student had to answer for his whereabouts. Inspector Cat had reason to believe that anyone in the school could know something about the missing graduation site and with a close eye on everything, he carefully scrutinized every detail in the building. 12

On the morning of February 14, 1986, at 9:00 AM, Inspector Cat made his final move. All of the facts were there; it was mere- ly a manner of calling in the final suspects for interrogation and asking the right questions. It was a strange collection of in- dividuals and the Inspector was sure that they were all disguised. Somehow the group of nerds in the cafeteria and the sophisticated lady in homeroom seemed to ring false, and Shakespeare and Mr. T were obviously aliases. Razor-sharp questions fired off at an accelerated rate brought the final suspects to their knees, and suddenly they were spilling their guts. The girl in the sunglasses shrieked, The sun, man, the out- doors! The nerds broke and uttered, Look for Evans, as Shakespeare cried, All the world is not a stage. Finally the gangster confessed, Da games, da games, da place of da games; and now the Inspector had solved the mystery. 14
