Murder Mystery Dinner: Thirst for Blood Everyone s favorite Murder Mystery extravaganza was held at the Honors House on Friday, November 10, and like always, it was a blast! The members of the Honors Council played their parts well, but the true stars of the night were our special guest actors, who each played Dr. Ludwig von Herring and Ingrid the dinners attendees all voted unanimously for them as Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively. (Special Thanks to Dr. Bambi Robinson as well, who played a lovely witch s assistant.) The attendees themselves, of course, also did very well, with several receiving awards for their outstanding detective skills, spirit of participation, and ideas so creative that the cast hadn t even thought of it! We hope you all had as much fun as we did, and please come again next year to another Honors-held Murder 2
