Who done it? Screams, crashes, smashes, roars, bursts of gun-fire and peals or thunder have been blazing forth from the AHS gym where the cast and staff of "The Bat" work nightly behind closed win- dow shaaes. As April 4, the day of produc- 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 memorial, have revelled in de­ 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 han (Reginald Beresford) is learn­ ing how to drive a Rolls Royce so that he can find his way to Miss Van Gorder's Long Island home in the play. The Unknown Man (John Isen- hower) is wondering if he is los­ ing his power of reason—he can’t even remember his name. Miss Woods has instructed all members of the cast to secure pictures il­ lustrating frightened expressions (no wonder Boris Karlo;f is hav­ ing such a demand for his photo­ graph!).
