llI-lll T Illll Spring play tells story of witch that haunts house The spring play this year was All Because of Agatha. It was presented on Thurs., Apr. 23 and Fri., Apr. 24 in the auditorium. The play centered around a house haunted by a witch named Agatha. Agatha only appeared once a year, Nov. 22 at 10:00 p.m., to haunt the house. When a couple moves into the house the wife, very interested in psychic phenomona, finds the story of Agatha exciting. She decides to have a haunting party on Nov. 22. Agatha, as usual, appears at 10:00 p.m. Madame La Solda, a medium attending the party, tries to hypnotize everyone there. She ends up hypnotizing everyone including herself, except Agatha. Agatha then positions all the couples in the room so they will end up fighting when they come out of the trance. All of the couples in the play break up. Agatha agrees to get everyone back together if they all promise to leave the house. Meanwhile, a book, All About Agatha Forbes is found. It says if latin is spoken to the witch, she will have to leave. The characters start shouting latin at Agatha, trying to get her to leave. Finally, the phrase veni vucci causes her to depart, never to return again. Freshman Michele Trible was originally cast in the part of Joan O'Hara. Due to a leg injury sustained a week before the performance, she Mr. Faril Ward directed the spring produc- tion. He was also in charge of the crews and committees.
