Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science students, from left, Aly Griffitt, Pierre Bomhold and Ella Mcleod talk as they peruse books at the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library Thursday afternoon. The students, along with others, were beginning preparations for the 33rd annual Tales from the Crypt research project. Students select someone buried in Friendship Cemetery from a master list of 100 names compiled by instructor Chuck Yarborough. They will write a research paper in the fall, and in the spring select students will perform a monologue, while dressed as their person, by candlelight in the cemetery. Robert Scott/Dispatch Staff
