endow Way . , H ,iv l 1-4 . lA . This year under the direction of Mrs. Irene Sharninghouse, the Seniors produced a very successful play entitled Good Housekeeping . What happens in a normal American family when Mother-armed with a big psychology book-sets out to get everybody happy? When Mother is the imaginative Marian Burnett, the answer is pandemonium. Dignified Father, president of the state uni- versity, is paraded down Main Street on the shoulders of four girl cheerleaders and drawn into a clash with the local political boss, daugh- ters Chris and Katy almost lose their boy friends, and Marian her happy home. But underneath the commotion and laughter, illuminating them with understanding and sym- pathy, is the warm story of a youthful and attractive woman, who with teen-age daughters and a tyrant in the kitchen finds herself no Swift G Co.

That problem is grave enough to make a tragedy, but because the Burnetts love each other and are not afraid to stand toe-to-toe and slug out their difficulties in family argument, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING ends happily.

L -I Ir t V I ga.. F,,,,.L,.-gW-,...,.-L..,- .,. D W. . -, ., , -nuuuu . Mojo ec? On a warm spring day in May of 1962, I en- tered Grand Central Station to board the Speedway Limited , the train which was bound for that great metropolitan city of Ar- cadia, Ohio. As I boarded the train, who should I see but a former classmate, LILA HUYSMAN, now the wife of the world-famous millionaire, Ranny Rogers. She seemed to be happy with her new position as the Woman's Social Leader of the world. Upon arriving at the Nickel Plate Terminal in Arcadia, I saw TED RADER, new owner and manager of the Nickel Plate Railroad. It seems Ted is so rich he doesn't know whether to buy out Ali Kahn or to buy the B Gt O Railroad. As I walked down Main Street, I saw a large neon sign which read, UWERNER LEMKE, M. D. I was quite interested, so I walked into his large waiting room, which was a beautiful sight to behold. His waiting room was filled to capacity. His nurse, much to my surprise, was DONNA EISENHAUER. She helped me find a chair and I sat down to wait my turn to see Dr. Lemke. While I waited I had the opportunity of listen- ing to Arthur Godfrey's morning radio program. The next song was Daddy's Little Girl, sung by the Seniorettes . The members of this quar- tet were none other than CLARA BUCHANAN, VIRGINIA BEAMER, DONNA IUNE DAMON, and SUE ENGLAND. They also appear on God- frey's television show and have gained world- wide fame. They have won every type of quar- tet-singing contest. After this song there was a pause for station identification when I was amazed to learn that station IERK was owned by IACK WHELAND. lack has made his money by selling strawberry flavored potato chips. ELLEN GASSMAN is his chief adviser and SHIRLEY RUSSELL is his personal secretary. Donna then informed me that it was my turn to see the doctor. As I walked into his spacious office, I noted the clean ultra-modern equipment. Korner Lunch At,the Traffic Light in Arcadia Bob and Thelma Nunn, Prop. Dinners-Short Orders-Soda Bar We immediately began to discuss our former classmates who were not living in Arcadia. I was very happy to learn that Captain DUANE BEAMER was doing well after his hitch in the Coast Guard and now he is Commander of a fleet of shrimp boats. The largest library building in the world can be found in Arcadia. Yes, you guessed it. Our classmate, KAY KIEFFER, is Head Librarian. She is noted for her fine Children's Hour which h,as recently been televised over station RKD. EVANGELINE ROSS is now president of the Nurses Training School here in Arcadia. Dr. Lemke says her nurses are the best-trained nurses in the world. ELNORA KAVE is now the head of the Com- mercial Colleges of America. This is a group of well-organized commercial schools of America whose graduates are of the highest standard. Our conversation drifted on to other class- mates. REID HILL is now head of The Inter- national Hog Producer's Association. It seems that he has been able to produce the largest hogs on record and BILL FRUTH has also broken records by producing the most grain per acre. DORIS STREET is working for Dr. Lemke as I-lead of Pediatrics. Doris has always had the ability to hum and sing soft tunes. She now puts the children to sleep in the hospital. NEIL WEAVER has almost achieved his goal as President of the Amalgamated Rabbit Pro- ducers Association of America. He is the C I O Representative from Ohio and is the leading contender for the nomination for President of the A. F. of L. I-le had gained his fame through his ability in debate. GENE WEDGE has worked his way to the top as a movie star. He still has the same old diffi- culty of keeping the girls away. As I bade farewell to Dr. Lemke, I went back to my career as the one and only authority on excuses for Seniors to skip school. Donna E. Gaertner Clifford E.
