Entering now is Miss Nancy Hahn who has just returned from a four year stay in the jungles of South Africa. Nancy has been acting as teacher and missionary to the natives of this region. She leaves for Alaska after a rest here at home with her family and friends. She intends to teach the Eskimos the art of homemaking and nursing as she did the tribes of South Africa. Notice the fur cape that Nancy is wearing. It is probably from one of the animals she killed in self defense. Also notice the alligator shoes and handbag. Driving up now are Mr. and Mrs. Robert Harkness and their family from Wyoming. Bob and his wife left Illinois shortly after graduation ten years ago and now own a very prosperous farm near Laramie. It was on Bob's land that the movie which you are about to see was filmed. Running up to the door now, evidently afraid she'll be late, is another former classmate, Miss Leona Geeseman. Leona now teaches the first grade at the Elmwood Grade School. Leona may be rigjht--gms is drawing nearer for the premier and so I shall send you back to the front entrance an to ic I Thank you for your interviewing. As Sandy said time is growning near for the premier of the season to begin. Before we car? on though, I'd like to read you a telegram from another former classmate w o found it impossib e to be here with us. Good luck, Larry! Remember the times we had at good old ECHS. David Page. Dave sent this from Cairo, Egypt, where he is located with the Standard Oil Co. I have been getting a signal from Camera B at the east entrance. Have you some more interesting people for us to meet, Sandy? Yes, I do Dick. People are filing in here very fast now since time for the curtain is so near. Right here at my elbow is the Former Kendra Book, now the Mrs. Lee Snider, Kenny and her husband flew in from San Diego on the plane with the cast of the movie. Kennie at the present is engaged in being a sailor's wife. Now back to Dick! Thank you Sandy. There seems to be a great deal of commotion over around Sandra C1ark's mike. Sandy, has Larry showed up? Not yet, Dick, but we do have quite a little bit of excitement. The great pitcher of the Dieselletts is now attempting to make her way up to the door. She is being beseiged by some of her fans. Incidently, we are very proud of this lady, she graduated with us 10 years ago, name of Ludy Parker. Ok, Dick, Judy made it inside the theater, we can go inside now. Than you again. The five minute curtain call has just now been sounded so we'll now go into the theater. We're now going down the center aisle--over to the right is seated Mr. Roger Dun- ham, author of the book rom which this movie has been made. Sitting in row seven on the left aisle is Miss Sharon Hoffmann, another classmate of the star of the evening, who designed the costumes and the settings for this movie. We 'd like to stop and chat to her but time is growing short. The beautiful bouquets of flowers around the theater and on the stage were donated by Morby's Flower Shop in Hanna City. Patsy has been running this shop for 5 years and is known over the state for her Morby Magnolias. The house lights have dimmed three times--there are now three minutes until curtain time. I see celebrities seated around in the crowd, to the right is Betty Gabor, to her left is Gary Peck, behind Mr. Peck is the prominent farmer William Colgan, who put the capital backing into this movie. Seated beside Bill is Miss Bonnie Dawson, who now runs the CILJCO in Peoria. Ten years ago Bonnie started at the CILCO as a bookkeeper, which shows you that it is possible to climb to the top of the ladder. We're sorry you can 't join us for the rest of the evening, but do tear yourselves away from your TV sets tomorrow night and come see the movie. The lights are going down, the curtain is rising, and the premier has begun. fx J Q 4 2-- .3 9 J NCQ,fff'5 yuqfgg

OFFICERS Co-presidents ---- Karen Kleen Richard Coon Secretary-Treasurer - Judy Purcell Reporter -------- Carol Smith November I0 the sophomores had an all-school party, refreshments were served, a program was given and everyone had lots of fun. The main way of making money was a coat-check business at the basketball games. ln january about thirty sophomores held a free-for-all party that ended with sled riding. Hot chocolate and cookies were served to all. The sophomore biology class held a bakesale to raise money for an armadillo. The armadil o died and as a result the class has money to donate to the 56 junior class. The biology class also took an all day trip to Chicago to the Field Museum and Brookfiled Zoo on May 7, 1955. Mr. Cady sponsored the trip, and Bob Cox drove the bus. Everyone enjoyed themselves. X gs fxlf I x 1, I 'Q W 1 ' 7 -59' ' e . .M ' I f Qi 'f X' '- 4, xg f 1 - ff - lla In ,ilu ,A rl ' if ' W .
