Our View ‘Tales’ is far more The Media than entertainment For the past 30 years, students at Missis- sippi School for Math and Science have distin- guished themselves in many areas. Some even see dead people, to borrow a line from a movie. Friday, for the 28th year, a select group of MSMS students will present “Tales from the Crypt,” which has become a popular part of Columbus Spring Pilgrimage. On four evenings during Pilgrimage, students adopt the roles of some of those interred in Friendship Cemetery. This year, the students will tell the stories of a Confeder- ate Colonel who died in the battle of Shiloh, a female newspaper editor, an Irish immigrant tailor, even a former governor, all of whom were buried in the old cemetery in the 19th- and early-20th Century. Over the year, the students’ enthusiasm for the project and excellent performances have charmed and informed visitors during the walking tour of the cemetery. If the value of “Tales from the Crypt” were Boycott Ingraham’s advertisers? confined to providing entertainment and historical information to tourists, it would be considered a worthy effort.
