The assembly was decorated with blue streamers running from the light to the walls with silver stars hanging down from them. Crepe paper covered the book- shelves with the word 'The Midnight Club attached to the crepe paper. After seeing the movie Call Northside 777 , we spent our time sitting in the candlelighted assembly at card tables eating, talking, and then later danc- ing to music from records. The refreshments consisted of all kinds of homemade candy, cookies, pop- corn, sandwiches, and punch. When midnight arrived, we brought the New Year in with the clanging of noisemakers and the throwing of tickertape. The chaperones for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Gabel. After doing a little cleaning up, we all went toward home. 27

CAST SYNOPSIS in three acts on Delores Miller Donna Crosby Bruce Mericle Helen Boten Dick Kaufman Sharon Wilson Bernadine Wicks Karen Flynn Ronald Weuve Warren larson Robert Turner Karen Taylor Karen Taylor Mr. Begg A timid soul sometimes comes out of her shell and proves to be a roaring whirlwind--at least that happened in the case of Mrs. Edith Gilman, who, during most of her married life, had been dominated by her husband, Warren, and by her three children: the lively wisecracking Dan, pert, pretty Judy, and attractive Gilda, whose chief aim in life was to be an opera singer. Without the knowledge of her family, Mrs. Gilman had spent a number of months in writing, during her spare time, a book called The Art of Ruling Your Household --months of wishful thinking, no doubt. To her amazement, however, the book was accepted by an established pub- lishing firm. Mrs. Gilman became a national celebrity, rediscovered self-confidence, ana astounded all the members of her household--including the comical, outspoken maid, Lena. 28
