SPEAKER
Freshman Class
Gives Mystery Play
May Day Has
Patriotic Theme
Hlood-curdUng screams and
wild, screeching noises emanat>
ing from Howard Chapel doors,
windows, and cracks on the night
of May 1, marked the presenta
tion of The Ghowt of Gnx*n Man
sion, by Clarice Wardall, a mys
tery play In three scenes given
I>y the Freshman Class.
Spectators entered Into a dark
ened chapel and were ushered to
their seats by candlelight. An
eerie atmosphere was provided
with the playing of organ music
by Celia Crawley.
With the striking of cymbals,
the play was announced by Rachel
Jones. Screams and horrible
laughter, sounded as the curtain
rose. Two university students,
Irvin Nichols and Rosalyn Ml-
zelle. found themselves accident
ally locked in an old deserted
mansion supposedly haunted.
Frightened by weird sounds and
the sight of a ghost, they des
perately try to find a means of
escape.
The ghost, placed by Guy Dlx*
on. was one of our professors who
invented the haunted house story
to scare people away from the
mansion. Henpecked by their
wives, they did this so that they
could secretly have their weekly
card game. Robert Jones, Greg
Herring, and James Beatty played
the roles of the other three be
wildered and confused professors.
When the students and pro
fessors discover each other, a
merry situation evolves. Both
groups are terrified by offstage
screams and grating sounds. They
realize that someone else Is In the
mansion, but soon discover that
the noises came from a parrot
which had given their secret away
to their wives.
Jessie Turner was the scream
ing sensation and Bryan Haislip
took care of the nerve-wracking
noises and other sound effect.
Staging and lighting were und-
^r the supervision of Johnnie
Green. Make-up artist was Mlr-
James. Lula Purvis Gray
was iissistant director.
The play was under the dlrec-
of Miss Mary J. Nackos.
The annual May Day Frolics
were held out on the front cam
pus Saturday. May 1. at 4:30
The theme of a victory gar
den complete with vegetablen and
flowers and infeated with bugs,
wart carried out very appropriate
