Lynough Director Set in the mountain lamasary of Shangri- La, Lost Horizon by James Hilton was the choice for our Senior Play. The ad- ventures of the four survivors of a plane crash in the high Himalayas served as the theme. Among these survivors was an Englishman, Hugh Conway, who had to decide between remaining in Shangri-La or helping his friend, Mallinson, return to civilization. Many seniors adopted the strange Tibetan ways before the opening curtain was drawn.
