A ‘murder mystery’ at GU
Blue Mountain Eagle
JOHN DAY – The Grant Union
drama club tackled a fun play-with-
in-a-play “Murder Mystery at the
Murder Mystery” for their final
performance of the season at the
school.
The play, by Brian D. Taylor, was
directed by Julie Reynolds.
The cast within the cast have a
puzzle to solve when an actor dies
at the close of their play – when they
re-enact the scene, more murders turn
up. The actors work together to catch
the murderer before he or she kills
them all.
Fourteen actors were cast in the
play with one working behind the
scenes.
“It was a fun play, and it was chal-
lenging because they had to get the
timing just right – when the lights
went out and the ‘murders’ happened
and the lights turned back on – there
were six ‘murders’ in the play,”
Reynolds said. “They learned quite a
bit about drama because it was a play
within a play.”
Nine Grant Union actors also
presented a melodrama during
’62 Days in Canyon City on
June 6.

Court’s blessing June 3 to move
ahead with several improve-
ments, which are intended to
improve the animal weigh-in
process and enhance safety for
the 4-Hers. The plans include:
• Installing a concrete hog
wash rack with metal gates off
the Heritage Barn, where the
hogs have been housed in past
years.
• Tearing out an unsafe load-
ing dock that is mostly used to
haul bedding away at fair, and
obstructs unloading at the scales.
A 30-yard dump box could be
used for the bedding refuse.

A MAN
WAKES
UP in the
morning
after sleeping on...
an advertised bed, in advertised
pajamas.
He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
AND THEY SAY ADVERTISING DOESN’T WORK?
DON’T MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE
Advertising is an investment, not an expense. Think about it!
