' U, (% fcmcjo! gee ! i wanted so much to be the leading man in the senior class play, what has dean royalty got that i haven ' t got? anyway, since i knew i wouldn ' t be around april 26, i bossed tryouts. the play that mr. green, miss guleff and i — they ' re taking over the directing job when i leave — chose was come over to our house. it was written by marrijane and Joseph hayes. they come from indianapolis and are the authors of life of the party, that all-school play the mask and wig club sponsored in november. boy, did we have a time even getting a class play! it looked for awhile as if the class of ' 47 would go down in infamy or something bad as the gang of manualites who didn ' t come through, but when we decided to have rehearsals at night, some of the kids who worked after school came to the rescue, just think, while i ' m hittin ' the trail during spring vacation, all of the cast will be busy learning their parts. from what i got of it during that one week i directed, the play centers around jay eldridge — that ' s dean — who is mixed up with a vaudeville show and love affairs with the kids next door, the younguns chosen at tryouts were jimmie link, who plays hugo willifred; leonora guerrini, who plays his hep-cat girl friend, lindy eldridge; darrell farley, who ' s butch reynolds, and rose ann rider, who ' s marion eld- ridge and butch ' s gal. bebe yosha, she ' s evie cannon, and marjorie slier, she ' s madge wilkins, both fight over jay. disgusting! i ' d sure like to be around when mary jo cassady, she plays the grandmother, does that can-can dance she ' s supposed to do, and mrs. eldridge, played by Joyce porter, gets fought over by three men. they ' re Stephen reynolds, played by buz sawyer, sascha sevinsky, or antone holevas, and philip king, or alien glass. other kids in the cast are bob peale, who plays a fast-talking hollywood scout; arvine raker, who ' s barney fellows, the tough prize fighter; mary ann mc crary, who is hildred reynolds. the mean kid sis- ter from next door; christine holevas and rosella simpson, reporters, and wilma browning, the maid. it really ought to be good, wish i could stay so i could see them back of the footlights.

the yearbook editors were especially special to me. i was their mouthpiece for this annual, they were always running around trying to meet deadlines, they even gave up their spring vacation to get out my life memoirs. mary jo cassady was the one who put the words in my mouth, mary ellen ellis and clee smith helped me shuffle the seniors and faculty around, and the clubs were all sorted out by jo aim hupke. wesley walton helped me out with my sports pages and miss kemp and miss colligan sorta supervised us all. Joyce porter drew me along to what i am — so to speak, and joan prather managed my appear- ance dates and kept my britches pulled up for me. wilma browning made the stick lettering so i would feel more at home, and my road maps around about were made by Virginia roark. helpin ' with the t square, layouts and paste-ups, ronald kistner. martha england, a delia grider and lois rednour were guided by miss foster. patricia hoffhein and roseanna robert cornered all my camera subjects, and jimmie link and mr. hanske clicked the shutters. my business managers, all working under elfriede bickel, were waiter reinacker, marilyn oster- meier. benita abravaya, idora richter and charles mescall. it was with a great deal of sadness that i told them goodbye on march 28 — but they . . . they had deadlines to meet, and i . . . i had a rendezvous to keep.
