tion for the senior class play
uears, the 10 members of the cast
are learning bow best to prey up
on that most common of human
weaknesses, the love of being
thrihed! Great men from time im

vouring stories of the hair-raising,
blood-curdling type! It’s a strange,
weird pastime, but one that ev
eryone enjoys.
But besides reading "horror"
magazines and seeing all the
Frankenstein movies, each mem
ber of the cast is trying to "get
in the mood” by living the life of
the person he or she is portraying.
Margery Newton (22-year-old
Dale Ogden) is running down
blueprints of "haunted" houses.
Emmy Lou Smith (60-y ear-old
Cornelia Van Gorder) has not
only taken up crocheting, but is
turning into an amateur detective.
Margarette Bamthouse (Lizzie Al
ien, a' maid) is seen cultivating
crops of goose flesh and running
after Earl Warren (Jap butler)
with a butcher knife and a hot
water bottle.
Bob Broili (Brooks, the garden
er) is learning not only how to
cultivate alopecia, but how to lead
a dual life with Dale Ogden as his
fiancee. Bill Alves (Dr. Wells) is
taking a correspondence course
which is guaranteed to make him
a doctor of medicine in six easy
lessons. Ralph Gillmore (Ander
son, the detective) may be heard
mumbling, “Do you swear to tell
the whole truth—etc." Bob Calla

that he can find his way to Miss
