THE I932 BEACON 23 T l - I 1 1 work. Edith Henne Leightheiser, her charming petite daughter, so entirely out of sympathy with her mother's mat1'imonial plans, not only handled her stage work very well, but was such a help on the production and publicity end. Wfilliam Dohner, Bill to most of us, was very well cast as the good-natured sixty-year-old lawyer, very fond of his food. His acting in the dining room scene was outstanding. Charles Hess, as Randolph XfVeeks, the agent and friend of the Dangerfields, loved the cook, but cook didn't love him. Charlie was a fine Randy, working hard all of the time. VVhat fun we had rehearsing the ice cream freezing scene Y Alfred Kuhn, the young poet, will be remem- bered for his attractive stage appearance. He put aside the real Alfred and threw himself into the role of a rather effeminate poet, acting the part without a flaw every minute. Miss S. Helen Ahrens played a most important part in Come Out of the Kitchen. She was our coach. Everyone loved her for her encouraging and untiring help in making the play go over big She brought many moments of fun into all the rehearsals-making those rehearsals nights of genuine good times and line fellow- ship. VVorking with her to make the alumni play a success was a real pleasure for everyone. Much credit must be given to those who worked behind the scenes, for it was only through their paintaking efforts that the play with its innumerable properties could be pre- sented. Among the committee workers Were: Patrons, Sidney D. Kline, tickets, Fern A. Leinbachg publicity, Mabel H. Fritz, stage, Harry Potteiger, Paul Himmelberger, Adam Baer, Sidney Kline, properties, Pearl Jacoby Himmelberger, Dorothy Haerderle, Helen Schiffnerg costumes, Dorothea I-Iinseyg make- up, Margaret Adams Hauserg music, Donald Schaeffer, prompter, Gene Levengood. VVe are sorry to report the death of Vlfilliam Wilhelni, class of ,27, who died in Atlantic City, where he had been employed at Haddon Hall. VVe remember Bill as an outstanding basket ball player, a good student, and a like- able chap. The Alumni Association will, as usual, end the season with a dinner-dance for alumni and friends with members of the class of 1932 as guests of honor. To these young folks go our thanks for the privilege of having this space in their yearbook and our most sincere wishes for a happy commencement season. We trust that they as alumni will join enthusiastically into the activities of our group and thus keep alive their pleasant memories of high school days. . .l CLASS PROPHECY to the demand for crooners, has given up for the present. Glenn has married and settled down to good, solid work. For four years after graduation he was in the service of Uncle Sam's army. But feminine infiuence has changed his plans. Clinny, the forgetful, is a surgeon in the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. He hasn't told us, but it is rumored that he is en- gaged to a nurse from the same hospital. Husky is married and prosperous. He lives in Springfield, Missouri. He has charge of the Missouri branch of the Penn Bottling VVorks, which was established by Husky after having worked at that place in Reading before his marriage. Tinny is manager of the Penn Pants Fac- tory. He has also given a number of broad- casts, both vocal and violin solos. Tonight is ample proof that Tinny is still as big a tease as ever. Raymond Hertz runs a garage, and has al- ready repaired five cars wrecked by members of our class. He never cared for girls in high school, but our Haming youth certainly has at- tracted plenty since. Eddie VVenrich, with his gift for arguing, is becoming well known in the field of law. We girls have all decided that if we ever need a lawyer we shall certainly hire Lemon, As for myself, when I left school I was un- decided whether to teach or be a nurse. Since they both cost money, I got married instead and have my own children to teach and to nurse. VV'ell, Diary, it is getting late, and I must get some sleep. The children must get to Sunday School tomorrow. So I'll say good night, be- loved Diary, to the happiest night I've spent in years. MRS. jf5ANN1z'r'rE CLARK.
