Will Present Has Busy Mystery Play S h d I c e ll e
"Home Sweet Homicide," from the mystery by Craig Rice, is the Junior play for 1951. When the preference ;;beets filled out last spring were counted, there were many requests for a mystery. "Home Sweet Homicide was chosen because there's a lot of action and clever lines," said Mrs. Ella Mae Short, director. "And it's a very different mystery because you don't find out who did it until the last minute or so. Jn so many mysteries you s uspect the murderer from the first act; like if he's a homicidical maniac." "The whole play takes place outdoors," Mrs. Short went on. "Phil Graham is going to design the set. It will be inter esting to see how it turns out." "Home Sweet Homicide" is about Diana, April, and Archie Carstairs, ·the children of mystery writer Marian Carstairs. When they hear two shots fro m the Sanford house next door, they calmly reason it must be murder. Bill Smith, a police detective,' is assigned to the case, and the children decide to marry their mother off to him while concealing the suspect, Wallie Sanford, in the play house. There are 20 parts for 12 boys and eight girls .in "Home Sweet Homicide." "Some of the parts aren't very big," Mrs. Short said, "but it will give more people a chance to get experience and see how a play is put on!' "Home Sweet Homicide" wili be presented October 12 in the Lincoln High Auditorium.
The majority of Lincoln High's st udents will tell you that school began September 5, but, according to Ginny Wilcox, Jdy Wagner, Norma Schritt, Pattie Ellis and Janet Gordon, it all started on August 25. These girls are the members of the Student Council who helped new students entering from other cities to register for the opening of school. After each new student was given his home room assignment and had his schedule adjusted, one of the assisting Council members showed the student around the building and answered any questions he might h ave ha d concerning activities and customs at Lincoln High. Another task the summer Council performed was to change the directory at the front of the building. With 11 new teachers beginning their first year at Lincoln High, the Council found that the job was not an easy one. The list of teachers must be kept in alphabetical order, which meant many rearrangements of th e n a m e plates. On September 5, the entire Student Council reported to Miss H all to receive r ibbons indicating that they were serving as guides for all new pupils. The Council also helped some of the confused sophomores open their lockers. Ginny Wilcox, who served as summer chairman, stated that every one of the Cduncil members seemed very anxious to do as good a job of welcoming the n ew students as possible One of the most important jobs the Student Council has for the coming year is the organization of a regulaI" class consisting of Cow1cil members. At the present time tt1en:: dte e 1gnt rnerubt.!n .ii. d,Ls class which meets first period every Tuesday and Thui:sday., By holding these classes, .the Council hopes to have enough time to complete all their ,p lans for the ·future.
