Ruth Zucco, Gloria One of the best known faces around CHS is that of red- headed Lee Simmons since he finds an opportunity to serve in many capacities. During his senior year Lee worked on the Youth Council, as president for a term, and on the Stu- dent Council being a very active promoter of activities con- cerning the Community Center. A dynamic leader in many projects, he represents the spirit of getting things done so admirable in CHS students. tLeft to Righty Mr. C. J.

0 As the sun slowly rises over the horizon, its rays catch a glimpse of Simmon's Stately Summer Seahouse for Shmoes. Chugging up the winding drive in one of Carmer's Classy Cabs we see the gardener, Denny Whisler, diligently trimming the hedge, behind which is Leslie Hart taking a sun bath. As we leave the cab, the porter, Gene Scurlock, opens the door and we enter the seahouse and are greeted by Hostess Georgia Griggs. Turning around we slip on a bar of soap, made by Simatovich's Smelly Soap Shop, which had been left on the floor by the chief floor scrubbers, Gloria Zucco and Genevieve Ballard. Dr. R. K. Hurliman and his nurse, Florence Nightengale McDaniels, whose motto is, You bend it, we mend it, rush in and administer first aid. Finding no broken bones we proceed to the desk to register. Matt Javonavich and Carl Gillespie give us the keys to our suite. We see Shirley Foster and Helen Frink, switchboard operators, busily listening to a long winded conversation between Byron and Wayne Tait. We decide to take one of the elevators which are oper- ated by Deloris Ball, Fonda Andrews, and Teresa Vidmar. On our way to our suite, Carson Miller, Daniel Merrick, Clar- ence Daniels, and Donald Williams, bellhops, whiz past us carrying our trunks. Delores Marchello, Mary Ellen Moorman, and Dorothy Sacco unpack our bags and we decide to make a tour of the resort. We stop at Sconzo's Scarless Shaving Shop where the barbers, Leo Mitchell, Lavern Springer, and James Swab are putting into practice their motto, You grow it, we mow it. We can't help but notice the shoe shine boy, Tommy Powell, and the manacurists, Helen Brooks and Dorothy Sanders. We then journey on to the beach where we see Paul Mikels playing in the sand and John Belloma and Roy Cline floating on the foam. A bathing beauty contest is in progress with Gladys Lou Hagan, Pat O'Hair, Carolyn Hart, Bev- erly Fischer, and Joe Anne Clarke are advancing to the finals where one of them will be chosen the winner by those great connoisseurs of women, James Chriss and David Molloy. On our way back to the hotel we pass the golf course where we see the golf pro, Rita Olsasky, and her Goofy Golf- ers, Ruth Winter, Raymond Sackfield, Elizabeth Blazina, Dorothy Starcevich, and Bill Benda, fighting their way out of a sand trap. Next we pass the tennis court where we see Dawn Gwen Mollet, Robert O'Conner, George Padovich, and Bonnie Jean Samson playing tennis in their Scott Sneakers, made by Bobbie, Donald, and John, Incorporated, and their Thomas T-Shirts, made by Charles, George, Kathleen, and Genieve, Incorporated. Arriving at the dining room we are shown to our table by the headwaiter, Bob Beattie. Jean Vredenberg, Gale Hixen baugh, Paul Hindley, and Joe Budeslich serve us a six course meal especially prepared for us by chief cook and bottle washer Joe Archibald. Retiring to the game room we tiptoe past the celebrated poetress, Pat Prow. Hearing a loud roar we approach a dimly lit corner where Huff Thomas has recently opened a a branch office. Some of the Tickridge boys, Danny Ex- line, Louis Rodgers, Dwight Gordon, Oscar Faris, Ralph Dudley, and Virgil Brosher, are spending their vacation in one long, continuous game of pool. In the center of the room we hear Mary Lou Minor, Mary Jo Osborn, Eileen Roberts, and Mary Lou Horner engaged in a heated argument over a game of Old Maids. We hear the hot strains of T. D.'s Boogie Woogie and looking up we see Arthur rMurrayJ Geary teaching Shirley Lofgren how to jitterbug. Attracted by the soothing tones of Hot Lips Jasper and His Egg-Fryers, George Burghoffer, Joe Heimes, Philip Wid- mar, and Danny Exline, featuring Frances Stuckey and her vibrant violin, we enter the ballroom and see the bartender, Jim Brorby, vigorously shaking up malts. We are seated at a ring-side table next to Kermit Peek and his World Famous Dare-Devil Drivers, the Peekeroos, Rex Alexander, Jack Angaran, Wayne Waggoner, Leonard Ross, and Donald Whisler, who are on a personal appearance tour. Glancing toward the entrance we see playboy Pete Followwill, the Dashing Casanova, strolling in and giving all the girls the eye. We see Lawrence Rastofer, the manager, and Ike Main, master of ceremonies, and his assistant, James Hindley, giving last minute instructions for the evening's entertainment. The opening number of the floor show is Marilyn Kinnamon and her Cinnamonettes, Zona Phillips, Jean Metz, and Helen Stromdahl, doing a dazzling dance. Next on the program Sonny Boy Reed steps to the mike to give us his quiet rendition of Hey-Bob-A-Re-Bob. Left to Right-Shirley Foster, Charles Carmer, Caroline Hart, I . James Handley, Ike Main, Rita Olsasky- The floor show IS interrupted when Glen Plowman loses his voice and the house deteceive, Billy Johnson, and his valuable assistant, Crit Ewing, are called in to help find it At this time, the fiddler, Leona Greenwood, rosins up her bow for the square dance, which is to be called by Vigorous Voiced Vaughn Whisler, The dancers, Jim King, Bill King, Harvey Morris, Charles Kopatich, Betty Andrews, Ruth Gord- an, Doris Houser, and Olive Jean Phillips, take their places and off they go. Bouncer Jim Peterson is forced to throw out Kenneth Mc- Eldery who has been annoying the cigarette girl, Fonda Herman. Our day at the seahouse having ended we sadly depart and as we give one last glance we see the head janitor, Bobby Allen, brightening the task of his Broomy Buddies, Mark Newbold and Billy Joe Flowers, by singing to them. 22
