3• 0 Who Dunit? ... Find Out At KMLT Who Dunit??? Was it the butler, the cook, the fiancee’, or possibly the new phew? This is the question posed in the mystery-comedy, “Who Dunit?”, which continues by the Kings Mountain Little Theatre this Friday and Saturday, at 8 p.m. in Park Grace Auditorium. The cast includes a number of newcomers to the KMLT stage along with veterans of past per formances: Jim Champion as Alexander Arlington; Ginger Goforth as Muriel, an angel; Myra Sheffield as Isabelle, and angel; Tom Franks as Michael, the archangel; Janet Sims as An nie, the cook and maid; Ray Holmes as Harry, the butler and gardener; Debbie Rushing as Miss Jenkins, Alexander’s secretary; Marty Rushing as An drew, Alexander’s newphew; Florrie Hamrick as Vivian Odell, Alexander’s fiancee’; Larry Hamrick, Jr., as George Brewster; and Pat Blanton as Flo. “Ayho Dunit?” is one of the most original comedy-mystery- murder plots of all time. A famous mystery writer is murdered, goes to heaven, and not even Archangel Michael knows who murdered him. The writer is given 24 hours to go back to earth to solve the murder. And in the clever, twist ending, the mystery writer final ly discovers the answer to “AVho Dunit?”. This play is supported by a grassroots grant from the North Carolina Arts Council. Admission is $2.30 for adults and $1.50 for students. “You and your family are en couraged, to attend a perfor mance of “Who Dunit?”.

KMHS French Aide Right At Fiome Francoise Picaronny, 22, ar rived in Kings Mountain from Paris, France three weeks ago and already she finds herself “right at home” in the Kings Mountain community. Mademoiselle Picaronny, French assistant at Kings Moun tain Senior High School, says that she is surprised that the community has a more religious atmosphere than her native town of Rambouillet, a suburb of Paris, and is delighted. She conver.ses in English fluently and about the only pro blem she incurs are American slang words. Attending her first football game with her adopted family, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Finger and daughter, Joan, was “just great”, said Francoise, who said she en joyed the preliminary entertain ment by the school bands and cheerleaders almost as much as the game on the gridiron. She also thought an impressive part of the game was that the singing of the National Anthem was us ed and a prayer was offered before the first kickoff. “1 was most impressed”, said the attrac tive student, who said that she and her new “sister”, also a KMSHS student, have climbed to the to of Kings Mountain, made shopping trips and enrolled in dance classes with Jane Camp bell. Francoise is completing her fourth year at the University of Paris and received her license in English at the University of Paris III in June with minor in German. She has spent several months in England, Germany, Switzerland and Scotland and has varied summer and work ex perience in summer camps and hospitals. Francoise applied last March with the Amity Scholarship Pro gram and learned of her accep tance as an Amity Scholar in September. “1 was so excited that I could hardly wait to board the plane to come to America”, she said, ex plaining that a stay in the United States will help her decide whether she wants to teach or look for a job as an interpreter. She would like to enroll in an American University and study American English. At KMSHS, she is assisting Mrs. Carol Peeler, French teacher, and studying typing and Spanish, two subjects which will be quite useful to Francoise when she returns to Paris in June, because she is in terested in languages in general and is hoping to obtain an M A. in compared stylistics. She comes from a middle class family of three girls. Her father works in the Ministry of Telecommunica tions and her mother is a medical secretary. Her sisters are Claudine, 19, and Danielle, 18. According to Mrs. Peeler, Francoise speaks French fluent ly and is most proficient in gram mar with a huge vocabulary which she brings into the classroom. In addition to her University degree, Francoise scored a B grade on her Certificate of Profi ciency test in English at the University of Cambridge in England and has been instruc ting English to young people at the high school level for two years. She also studied at Oxford Intensive School of English and received high marks from her tutor, who described her as a diligent reader and film goer with a particular interest in American culture and a talent for converting her interest into the most lively letters, in French or English. Francoise likes the Kings Mountain School System and describes Kings Mountain students as very “rich” in com parison with the French. She us ed the word “rich” to note that in Kings Mountain the students have choices of subjects and many extra-curricular activities such as band and chorus, etc. Paris girls are a little more sophisticated “as far as clothes” but jeans and casual wear are seen on both high school and university campuses. “There is not as much make up worn by Paris students at the high school level”. Compulsory subjects are georgraphy, history, math, French, one or two languages and philosophy as well as sports, similar to P.E. classes. Music, drawing and art are elective sub jects. Francoise obtained her driver’s license at age 20 but it cost her 2,000 francs, a lot of money as compared to obtaining a license in North Carolina. Cars are also expensive, students ride bicycles, and the bus and subway are common means of transpor tation in Paris. Gasoline is atout $3 per gallon and it’s unheard of that a student has her own car at the age of 16. The cinema, music, swimm ing, sailing, reading, people wat ching at high fashion stores in Paris, window shopping, classical and modern dance, playing the guitar, and an in terest in the current French political scene are all listed as the young woman’s extracurricular interests. Eager to participate in American school and communi ty life, Francoise is anxious to share the general culture and knowledge of her native country with others. She likes American hotdogs, hamburgers, and most foods, especially desserts, which she likes to prepare. Francoise has a good com mand of spoken English and recalled that she soon discovered that what she called a dust bin in France was a trash can in Kings Mountain and the saying “I’m full” is the same as “I’m full up.” Mme. Picaronny brings a live ly and cheerful appearance to the campus. She wants to learn and share her language and Paris with all of us who may never go abroad. “I always had a dream to come to America”, she said. She plans to make her dream a memorable experience.
