Ten Little Indians Thrills Audience Excitement, mystery, and suspense were in the air on November 13 and 14, 1987, as the class of 1988 pro- duced one of the most successful Sen- ior plays in a long while. Directed by Mrs. Sue Nelson and written by Agatha Christie, Ten Little Indians provided true entertainment for the hundreds of people in the audience. The play was set on an island in En- gland, connected to the mainland only by the daily milk delivery boy, played by Ed Kump. The owner of the house on the island had called togeth- er a motley crew of ten people, with one thing in common — they were all respnsible for the death of another person. The discovery of their common ground, as well as the discovery that no one actually knew the man who had brought them all together spurned uneasiness in the guests. This, together with a rather disturbing poem found to describe the deaths of ten little Indi- ans, proved to set off a string of mur- ders as descibed in the poem. The guests were then forced to fend for themselves, as the delivery boy had been ordered not to return to the island for a few days. Accusations were wildly flung, cumulating in the so- lution of the mystery. Overall the play was performed su- perbly, its cast overcoming various setbacks. Congratulations to the cast and crew of the 1987 senior play! — Andrea Muirragui Mr. Justice Wargrave. Mike Ryan, ponders the mysterious murders, while Emily Brent.

Afro-American Club Shows Talent in Soul Revue Who shot D.C.? Everyone had the motive; everyone had the opportuni- ty. D.C. was proPaPly the least liked guy around. Guys hated him because he was after their women, and girls hated him because he two-timed them; even the maid hated him be- cause he was a spoiled rotten brat. The mystery unfolded on April 10th and 11th, 1987, as the Afro-American Club put on its annual Soul Revue. As the play progressed, the audi- ence was treated to a fine cumulation of months of hard work. Everyone worked together to put together a show to be proud of. The Soul Revue, written by '87 Afro-American President LaDonna Wattley, was a play in three acts which combined not only drama and music, but also a display of current fashions. After the solution of the murder, and a surprise ending, the entire Soul Revue cast, in addition to Director Mrs. Davis and Stage Manager Carla Buggs, joined forces to sing Club Noveau's Lean on me. That proved to be an appropriate finale, as it illustrated the togetherness of the Afro-American members that made the Soul Revue a success. — Andrea Muirragui Putting all they have into the song.
