Three Japanese Ghost Stories
James Reach
The back room of Mom's Malt Shop has, by long tradition, been reserved as the meeting place for the seniors of Central High.
The time is Thanksgiving Week, when two major events are scheduled: the Seniors' Thanksgiving Prom and the Big Game against Western.
Against this hectic background run several stories.
There's the story of Lucy Trainor, who works at Mom's after school, and her romance with the new boy, Cal Henry.
There's the story of Sheila Rollins and Julia Cartwright, and their scheming to be elected Prom Queen.
And there is the story of stolen ticket money - an innocent accused, and the guilty finally revealed.
The non-stop action culminates in a Thanksgiving Eve climax.
A bouncing, cheery yet meaningful comedy for high schools.
