Herr, A, Sterrenberg TRUTH OK A HOLIDAY The Senior Class of 1939 presented their play TRUTH OK A HOLIDAY a three-act comedy, Friday night, Hay 5th. This is a story of a co-ed, Alice Grant, who writes a term paper in college describing her own father as one who is suffering fran delusions of grandeur. The paper is written in fun, but the psychology professor insists on checking up on the details on the very day the father in question accepts the nomination for governor. On the same day, Mrs. Grant, contrary to the wishes of her husband, invites an interior decorator to inspect the home. To avoid detection, the decorator assumes the role of a detective, and is of course, confused with Professor Prickett—and so it goes. Into this absurd chaos comes a newspaper reporter, a politician, several love affairs, and a kitchen maid v ho is a scream. No one dares tell anyone else the truth. It is a hearty laugh from start to finish.

Ferguson (Jerome Hummel) the football sensation of the year, was able to capitalize politically on his fame by being elected mayor of the city through a printer s error in substituting his name on the ballots for that of his staid business-like cousin, John Ferguson, (Ray Endres). John Ferguson's election was to have been assured by an agreement between John’s uncle, Angus Ferguson, (Clarence Culkin) and Hack Durkin (Jim Cooney), a political boss, that the next mayor was to marry his daughter Portia, (Arlene Frobish). After Johnnie X's election it looked for a time as if he would have to jilt his own fiancee, Stella Delane (Mary Agnes Bouhl) to marry Portia. However, John Ferguson decided he really loved Portia and wouldn’t allow an election to cheat him of her. Thus Johnnie X. is finally left for his first love. The play was enlivened by the love affair between Peggy, (Betty Jo Sims) only daughter of Angus Ferguson and sister of Johnnie X, and ’’Stew” Irwin (Joe Ribordy), Johnnie X’s roommate, a bashful stuttering boy who couldn't express his love in words. Although Stew” v as one of the lesser characters it seemed to be the opinion of the audience that his part was one of the outstanding ones of the play as it supplied the great part of the comic relief. Thomas, the butler, (Adolph Haberkorn), ushered the guests in and off the stage in official butler style and the Purity Up-lifters Committee (Rosemary Bess, Mildred Finefield, Lucille Perkins) played their part of giddy, gushing ladies in a convincing manner. The Junior Class presented a three act play A SWEEPING VICTORY” on Friday evening, November 17th. It was directed by Miss Plaster. -17- REVIEW STAFF Standing left to right: M. Shell, A . Keraken, G.

The doctor, being almost blind, accidentally gave us the wrong kind of injection, and we fell into an instant sleep. A vague dream appeared. We were traveling through the United States, and now were in Hollywood, California. It was about 3 A. M. and being very tired, we decided to stoo at the Hollywood Hotel. No sooner had we entered the door, till we saw one of the party sliding across the floor on a piece of soap that the scrub lady had left lying around. Glancing around we saw the scrub woman brushing her hair from her face. At first we didn’t recognize her, but soon made her out to be MARY JANE KUEFFNER. After answering a number of her questions, she told us that she was waiting for her chance in the movies. Just then the door onened and in walked a droopy eyed man. As he walked by Mary jane called to him, and as he v alked toward us we sa w it was ORVILLE DECK, now a movie director. We asked if anyone else happened to be in Hollywood that v e knew. With a giggle, she said that JIMMY MEI3TER now lived there. He had become a millionaire by running a gas station and now cwned a studio. She said she had a little influence with him and would try to get us an interview. And with the promise of sight-seeing with Jimmy we went to our rooms. After a few hours sleep we were awakened by Johnny’s call for Philip Morris. Opening the door v e saw DICK !!ILSTE iD. He had been told by Mary-jane that we v e re stopping here so he decided to come up to see us. V e decided since v e had been awakened v e might as v e 11 stay up and start our sight-seeing early. The Commissary, it was said, was a very nice place to eat 90 that was our first stop. A waitress brought the menus and as v e glanced up we were surprised to see MARY RUTH HUBLY. She told us she had gotten former experience, after she left Al’s, at Sloppy Sam’s Soup and Sandv ich Shop. V e concluded our dinner, met Jimny and took a tour through the studio where they v e re now filming another picture Gone with the Wind.” Two women dashed past us in a flurry—note-books in hand. One was Margaret Mitchell, the author, and the other was OUNITA TAYLER. They v ere arguing over the sequence ending. In strutted two leading characters, Rhett Butler, played by CHARLES E1JDRES, and Scarlett O’Hara, played by VELMA GB.'GERICH. Y ith merely a toss of the head they passed us up. With such an important position they could no longer associate with such riff-raff. As v e started to leave the studio v e heard a crash on the floor behind us. V e turned and saw a tangle of arms and legs at the foot of the stairs. Jimmy told us that was GERALD HU11IEL trying to learn how Fred Astaire tap danced down the steps. Gerald told us that he had only had thirty-three broken bones and intended to learn that routine till he either got it or broke his neck. Y ith this he left to try it again. After leaving the studio, Jimmy asked if we would like to see some of the famous Hollywood homes. Of course, v e readily accepted as v e had heard a good deal about them. One of the first houses we saw belonged to the new Mr. and Mrs. Thin Man. At this time a man and v oman emerged from the house and imagine our surprise and delight to find it was BOB TAUBER and LILA CORDING. After a delightful half-hour, we left to see more of Hollywood. -39- PROPHECY As we were ready to pull away from the curb, a flash went by us. Upon further questioning we found it was Mickey Rooney and LEO 3NEYD in Sneyd's Slim Super Six. After driving for some time we stopped by an entrance to a forest. Puzzled, we wanted to know why v e had stopped by a forest. And we were promptly told that this was the home of Tarzan and his mate. We searched around for a house but could find none. At that moment we saw a man and woman perched in a tree. The man swung easily down to the ground beside us. Jimmy introduced us to Tarzan and we v ere very much surprised to find that it was FRANCIS SCHADE. He gave a shout and another figure swung lightly to the ground. It was his mate— VLBERTA HORNICKEL. Me decided that this would conclude our afternoon sight-seeing, but we planned to go to Cocoanut Grove for the evening. On the v ay back to our hotel, v e sav: a slightly aged man running along the road. V e all were much amazed at the sight till Jimmy said that it was GLEIi BRUNER, one of the worn-out athletes trying to make a comeback. as v e came up to the hotel we heard an argument going on. V e were not able to see the children but their voices sounded exactly alike. Jim told us that was Baby Snooks and JANICE DANIELS. Janice had been doing doublework for Baby Snooks. After we had arrived at the Cocoanut Grove and were seated v e noticed two timid looking gentlemen next to us. V e recognized them immediately. It was Ray V allrich and Ellis Huttenbfcrg. They said they v e re now doubling for James Cagney and Pat O'Brien in The Fighting 169 . A beautiful woman came in surrounded by several wealthy gentlemen. Jimmy told us she v as GLADYS DASSOW—Hollywood's number I Gold Digger. Gladys was accompanied by RUTH MCNEELY who was doing double-work for Joan Blondell. At this moment v e were favored by a lovely song. As we could see ’the girl more clearly we recognized her as CORRIIIE DECK. Over in one corner were two ycung ladies, one of them earnestly and rapidly writing. It v as ARLYNE HEMKEN rev rit ing Ann Sheridan's retort to Harvard men—only writing it for Chatsworth men. The other was the former EUNICE ZORN—now Mrs. Jimmy Dorsey. She had undertaken to teach her husband how to play a saxaphone. And now came the highlight of the evening program. There were tv o guest stars—HENRY BALDAUF and STANLEY HILL. Mr. Baldauf had taken Bing Crosby's place in music. You no longer hear of Johnny scat Davis------it now is Stanley Hill and red hot trumpet . As we were returning to our hotel v e passed an old mansion. On the balcony v as a fair maiden—below a handsome gent. V e v ere told it was LUCILLE . ELLER and FRED ENDRES trying to revive Romeo and Juliet. V e were suddenly aroused by a dash of cold water in our faces. The doctor was mumbling, Oh, why must such things happen to me? -40- CLASS WILL LAST Y ILL AND TESTAMENT: V e, the Seniors of the Chatsv orth Township High School, class of 1940; city of Chatsv orth, county of Livingston, and State of Illinois, being of unsound and incapable minds and memories, do make, publish, and declare this our last v ill and testament, in manner and form as follows: FIRST: V e direct that a co y of ’’Amateur Detective Suggestions”, which v e feel will be of great assistance in ferreting out the pranks of various students, be given to the faculty.
