The class of ’32 are put- ting the final touches to the three act mystery comedy“Tiger House.” This play has only recently been re leased for amateur use and -it was selected and is being directed by Mr. McCulloch. It is an ideal high school play and the seniors by con centrated effort are able to stage it after three weeks practice. _ The action of this play revolves around an isolated country estate oalled “Mystery Manor,” because of its alleged hauntings. Errfa Lawrie, a young shop girl, has inherited the estate from her spiritualist aunt, and according to the terms of the will she must occupy the house for a period -of one year. Soon after the rise of the curtain things begin to happen- There are plenty of thrills and wierd sounds yet there are no dead bodies, no shots fired and nothing really gruesome, but near killings will be so frequent that one will shudder every few minutes. Truly it is as adver tised, “A Senior Play That is Differ ent.” The curtain rises promptly at 8.15 and no one will be seated during the first act The cast follows: Erma Lowrie, the girl, Elna Houston; Yami, a Hindo, Nyal Grady; Sarah Broderick, spinster aunt, Belle Clothier. Mrs. Murdoek,/an "old housekeeper, Georgia Harper. McIntosh, Kenneth Walker. Arthur Hale, Edward Grady. Oswald Kerins, Max Williams. Peggy Van Ess, Orion Wettenberg.

For weeks the boys from Grass Val ley-Kent have been saying, “Those birds from Moro won’t find it so easy to hit Young,” and the Moro team has been heard to remark, “Wait ’till you see the ball Walker pitches,” until everybody was looking for something out of the ordinary when the two teams met. They were not disap pointed For the first time this season the game was close enough and exciting enough that rooters and players crabbed at some of the umpirea’ de cisions, hooted at boots, and ecstatically and joyfully in the air** at some especially pleasing play of a home team man. Moro made a run in the first be cause the southerners threw the ball around too carelessly; they made an other in the third on a hit a steal and an error and the score was at 2 to 0 for several innings before Grass Valley-Kent could • score. In the seventh on a walk, an error hit and some erratic ball playing they put three runs over the plate to bring the old ball game to life with a bang that ruined thirty rdoter’s voices.
