Something she really doesn't like is when someone keeps ask- ing her questions when she does- n't feel like talking. There’s a certain comedian who's 5'10” tall, hasbrownhair and green eyes, fun to be with, and can be found joking around in the halls at DHS. This lucky guy happens to be just as Jan describes her ideal boy. Her future plans are unde- cided as yet, whether to attend Northern State or USD. SENIOR ON PARADE On June 5, 1953, in St.John's Hospital, Huron, Mr. and Mrs. Alan Purintun were blessed with a bouncing baby boy, whom they christened Ross Joseph.

So far in life, she thinks Ju- ly 6, 1970, is her most memor- able and shaking experience. Although she has many likes she has a pet peeve which is people who think they are too good to talk to their fellow class- mates. When asked who she would like to be other than herself, she replied, Raquel Welch . Kathy's main ambition is to get ahead in life. Have fun while you're still in school because the four years sure go fast , is her stable ad- vice to the frosh. As for the future, Kathy has nothing definite planned.

NEWSETTE (issue of Apr. 29) Students Preform well in All School Play The audience was moved to tears by the excellent presenta- tion of the all-school play, Flowers for Algernon . Al- though the play was two hours long, it held the interest of the audience to the end. Although the play entertain- ed the audience while they were watching it, it also left them with a message. This message could best be summed up in the words spoken by Charlie when hesaid, Why do people think a dumb person is funny? They wouldn't laugh at a cripple. Steve Kellar, in the role of Charlie, gave an outstanding performance. He was supported by the excellent performances of Robyn Slaight, Diane Heller, Tom Hayden, John Rockwell, Gary Goreham, Bruce Meyer, Emily LaBore, Lisa Maguire, Barbara Bell, Devon Wolkow and John Stoddard. Humor and variety were add- ed to the play by the roles such as those played by Debbie Gun- derson as a little old lady and Eunice Weerts as a landlady. The unusual stage setting which was on different levels added interest to the play. The performers could be seen moving from scene to scene. This gave the audience an idea of what goes on behind stage in a play and the amount of work in- volved.

He listed his pet peeve as be- ing hard butter. Eugene described his ideal girl as being a5'8 brunettewith long hair, blue eyes and a good sense of humor. Take a bath at least twice a year whether you need it or not”, is Eugene's advice to un- derclassmen. Eugene's future plans include attending SDSU.
