On November 7, 1958, the senior class under the direction of Mrs. Chrissie Nagel presented a com- edy in three acts entitled, Books and Crooks. The cast was as follows: Arnold T. Henley and Professor Nichols Qdual rolej, Jack Crowley, Francis, Philip Salisbury, Miss Irene Hamilton, Margaret Flingg Gerard, Gary Nieskesg Goody Golfhopper, Judith Denisong Larry Malone, John Tellierg Lindy Williams, Judith Treadwellg Oliver Burkholder, Paul Flood, Mildred Gunklock, Lynn Schroederg Margaret Clickle, Sylvia Trickler and Lieutenant Shaw, Paul Scherbyn. The whole action of the play takes place when two bank robbers use Alexander Hamilton High School for a hide -out. Aronld T. Henley, strict disciplinarian, hypochondriac, and soon finds himself replaced by Profess- or Nichols and Mr, Brown, of the Board of Education, the two bank robbers. Miss Hamilton, I-Ienley's already nervous secretary, is completely unnerved as pills, papers, and people appear and disappear. But enter Gerard, Goody, Larry and Lindy, who do some sleuthing, much to the bewilderment of Lieutenant Shaw. To the astonishment of all, Henley donates quite a sum of money for new band uniforms and a tour, after a chat with Mrs. Clickle, and Mrs. Bunklock, a couple of band mothers. However Burkholder, president of the bank across the street combines his efforts to capture the robbers and marked bills. Francis and the professor are finally captured by Lieutenant Shaw with the help of the school band in the principal's office. Principal Henley is restored to his office with a new spirit. Thank goodness. The cast would like to express its heart-felt thanks to Mrs. Nagel whose wonderful and patient guidance made the play a big success. Page 23

The members of the class of '59 are found on their own private person- al cloud, number 201. They have heard that the time has finally come when the last member will leave earth to join them beyond the Pearly Gates. This is Jack Tellier, lifetime playboy, and youngest mem- ber of the class. Now all must wait with the patience of saints for his arrival. The beautiful music of the Deuel Band of Angels is heard, led by no other than Richard carrot top Deuel. Top soloist of the group is Diane Ulmer, former Metropolitan Opera star. Paul K. Flood, Colonel of the Tactical Air Command, orders the class to stand at attention as Guilford Mack lands his newly invented electronic rocket. Mrs. Jane Rockefeller Speanburg, Mrs. Joan Henderson Guard, Mrs. Agnes Parker Higley, are talk- ing quietly of the children they left behind with Mrs. Nancy Mclntyre Horton in front of her trailer. Nan's trailer was brought up with the special permission of the High Command . fNan wou1dn't come without it.J Cornell graduate Gary Nieskes and Hobart alumnus Jack Crowley are feuding over the merits of their alma maters. Breaking up the heated discussion is democratic minded Philip Salisbury, former Supreme Court Justice. An intellectual conversation is being engaged in by teachers Sylvia Trickler and Marlene Phillips, who are desperately trying to explain to Santa Beniamino why angels have wings! Lois Main and Mrs. Peggy Smolinski English are busily using their typing ability to put out the holy edition of the Harper's Bazaar magazine under the divine supervision of Mrs. Judith Denison Overslaugh. Directly beneath cloud 201 lies a heavenly patch of ready--to--be--harvested harp plants. The class's expert agriculturalists, William Adsitt, Harold Finewood, and Paul Scherbyn float down to the patch to gather their crops. Mrs. Judith Treadwell Ulmer is seen sitting quietly, dreaming of the blue grass of Kentucky, as she expertly produces ceramic halos in mass production. Sleeping peacefully Qof coursej on their fluffy beds are Barbara Webb and Arlene Haich. This rest is needed, for just before they were called from earth, these girls successfully completed a long contem- plated bicycle tour of Europe. X Loud noises are heard from a section occupied by Gary Norsen, who is busily putting fender skirts and duals on his chariot. Richard Blair, formerly of the Air Force, and Kenneth Maines of the Army are chatting of their past brilliant careers, as their lifetime buddy and heaven's only delinquent angel, -- Rodney Wolfe, --saunters up. Rod actually became a famed construction engineer while on earth. Doing her job well, as always is Lynn Schroeder. She and St. Peter are counting and totaling new comers to heaven. Lynn was a well loved math professor at Columbia University for over 50 years. Near- by is Nina Frederick, accountant, who neatly and accurately keeps the books on the passing out of harps and wings at the gate. Suzanne Walters and Nancy Blankenburg, efficient beauticians, keep busy beautifying heaven's angels. Bending over pinching curiously at the cloud is Zelmeta Dunham. She was once a lab technician and is always on a search for new specimens to study. A busy and extremely happy section of 201 is a playground for the families of the class members who have left earth to join their parents. The chubby little cherubs are under the angelic supervision of nurses Carolyn DeWind, Sally Hall, and Mrs. Ruth Morse Randall. Vicki Cummings, Cortland physical education major, is leading a frolicing group in a game of Ring around the Rainbow. Tending to the flowers on the playground, attired in a many colored robe, is DeWayne Norsen, former Experimental Station employee Keeping the affairs of 201 running smoothly is Mayor Philip Haers, who once held the same position in,Phelps. Virginia Rouland, telephonic operator, is placing calls for Phil to other heavenly communities. Suddenly, above the sounds of bustle and activity, comes a loud, clear voice shoutlng Alright everybody, let's ily-hear it. Jack Tellier has arrived. Its none other than the still peppy and spry, Margi Fling, who incidently, was the United States' first woman president. With a blare of trumpets, and a fl ' h fh to welcome its last homeward angel. ouris o arps, halos and wings, the class of '59 gathers together Page 22
