Many people do not realize what makes a play, professional assembly or entertainment run so smoothly. Credit for this should be given to the members ofthe stage crew, under the direction of Mr. Robinson and Mr. Salzman. Without these boys, it would be impossible to have an effective stage setting. Qfoybcfor perafom The visual education in our high school is carried on with the help of the projector operators under the direction of Mr. Sebastian. These boys run the pro- iectors for classroom and assembly movies, and operate the microphone and recording machine for our school dances.

Garber J. if.. 5,.f..f M I was studying for my final exams. Laid out in front of me were English literature, phy- sics, geometry, and French books to review. I had stayed up too late the night before, watch- ing television and I was dead tired. Neverthe- less, I had to study. I studied for a while, but everything seemed dull. Other things kept coming into my mind. I picked up the always present comic book to soothe my mind. After reading about Buck Rogers in the 25th century for a few minutes, my mind began to whirl. My crowded brain filled with geometric figures, English Lit., physics for- mulae, and the exploits of Buck Rogers. I must have dozed. The next thing I knew, I was riding a heli- copter taxi invented by Howard West. The talka- tive driver, Richard Kurta, drove me to the air field where a space ship, the Gladiator, was pre- paring to take off for outer space. Before entering the ship, I saw mechanics, Nick Campano and Ted Kudla, making a last minute check-up. Soon, the announcer, John Dragos, called All aboard. Take off in three minutes, so I settled into my seat. Up front, Milo Cubra, the pilot, Jack Resnik, the co-pilot, Charles Bratton, radio operator, were busy get- ting the ship out of the earth's gravitational pull while the stewardesses, Edwina Brubaker and Visions of loveliness. Josephine Natale, made the passengers com- fortable. Grace Kazmierowski, the piIot's pri- vate secretary, radioed through the teleview radio that Milo forgot to take his vitamin pills along. He said he'd buy them at Cyril Macosko's drug store on the new sattellite, Trombetopia, discovered by Wilma Trombetta. When we landed we were welcomed by Andy Komondor, mayor of Trombetopia's only town. I offered to do the errand and we went to the drugstore. Arlene George, the clerk, gave me a bottle of Dr. Backus's Vitamin Pills. While Arlene wrote up the sale, I looked around. In one booth, Chickie Murray and Don Jakubek were sipping soda thru cu straw. They still think each other is out of this worId. Across the street, I saw the Stetz Bakery Inc., run by my old friends, Bob and Loretta. Their bakery specializes in heav- enIy bread and angelfood cake. On our way again, we passed Marilyn Schil- laci and John Kaska on scaffolds, painting the rainbow in the sky. We accidentally knocked over the purple can, so now it isn't raining rain you know, it's raining violet . Our first scheduled stop was Luna, the moon. Some of the inhabitants llunaticsl greeted us at the Violet Gigli airfield. We met a missionary, Eleanor Reeder, teaching at David Davis School for Girls. Also helping Eleanor were Dolores Sterling and Lois Jean Jackson. Dancing in the dark. Before we left the airport, another space ship made a landing. This was a ship from Elizabeth Donofrio Sightseeing Service , whose motto is: Biz around with Liz . Passengers emerging from the plane were Betty Bushnell, Louise Kraus, Mary Duda, and Dolly Tudek, fa- mous business personalities who were tired of Florida vacations. Our group stopped at Pat Pacewicz's Res- taurant. Ed Ray, the head waiter, took us to our table. We were sure of prompt service, because the waitresses, Doris Zeleznik and Gert Sikorski, were wearing iet propelled shoes. We all or- dered the chef's special, created by Bill Zeik who said, After one mouthful, you'll 'zeik' some more. We were also provided with Buck-a- Seltzer, at a dollar a bottle, to settle our stomachs. After eating we went to Ed Hunt's Tourist Bureau to look for a place to stay. His motto is: Don't hunt for a room. Let Hunt do the hunting for you. He advised us to go to Moonshine Manor, owned and operated by Joan Witkowski. Alberta Prettyman, the elevator girl, took me up to the top floor where I got that head in the clouds feeling. I played with the push but- ton panel in my room. One button made the room bright by phosphorous light, and another let the bed down from the wall. On the bed was the body of a man. I called the house detec- tives Ray Cegelski and Ed Andresky, and with their persistence, they soon found the murderer who was still carrying the murder weapon, a super-positronic pocket pistol. In the spotlight. The next morning we said goodbye to the moon, and went on our way. Soon after lunch, we stopped at Richard Striegel's service station on a stationary flying saucer to fill up on Dun- stifuel, our miracle fuel invented by Jack Dunst. Across the street, Leonard Nizinski was yelling, Peanuts for sale . After refueling, our ship left for Mars, named after that famous candy bar. From a dis- tance, we could see Mount Kruzek, which still re- mains a mystery, even though it was conquered by Betty Kruzek, When we reached the airport on Mars, we were met by strangers in ten-gallon hats. Look- ing closely, we saw they were Bill Kostkas, Dick Kostyzak, and Charles White who migrated from Earth, because it was getting too crowded in Texas to raise cattle. Accepting their invitation to visit their ranch, we took a flying saucer to the other side of Mars. As we zoomed along, we looked down on Al Jaskolski, Gerald Cola, and Don Schillaci, professional football stars, doing work outs under the leadership of Nick Pergantis. They were practicing for the inter- planetary Nut Bowl game against the Saturn Robots. We finally reached the ranch. Other week- end guests at the ranch were Joe Captain, rest- ing up after solving a hard criminal case, and Mary Lou Mellor, famous Marsopolitan opera star now in Love that Law , produced by Shirley Backstrom. Cupid capers at the Heart-Hop. We invited some old friends, Mary Nolfi and Art Cipriani, in to enioy the cowboys' even- ing serenade. The Shallow Pond Quartet com- posed of Bob Price, Jim March, Mary Donofrio, and Louise Homolak gave us their version of How High the Moon arranged by Ralph Fasiska. At the end of an enjoyable visit, we bade farewell to our friends and headed for another planet in the Gladiator. Looking out of the win- dow, we saw Lael Michaelson teaching the stars how to twinkle like diamonds. Nearing Neptune, the co-pilot, Jack Resnik, suddenly became ill. Over our two way tele- view, we contacted the hospital on Neptune with the help of the able tele-operators, Frances Hon- acki and Dolores McCune. An ambulance, driven by safety expert Bill Dobbins, awaited us when we landed. Soon we were at the hospital, and Tina Orlando was preparing the patient for sur- gery to be performed by Dr. Leo Schrantz. We left Jack in the operating room, but we envied his opportunity to flirt with all the pretty nurses: Jane Ann Taylor, Doris Shoaf, Mary Ann Babyak, Doris Frobouck, Shirley Scherer, and Gerry Er- cole. We were certain that Jack would have nourishing food through the efforts of Doris Bod- nar, head dietitian. While waiting for his recovery, we went to the Tarli Theater to see Joanne Kaye in Heaven to Earth . After the play we stopped at John Szpanka's Swanky Spanky Night Club . We were entertained by Mary Ann Beckowitz, a Queen Shirley holds court. singer, and a skating review starring Barbara Iwanosky, Doris Mitchell, Maryann Nazdoski, Flo Fasisko, and Phil Massaro. Following the floor show, we paid our check, an unearthly amount, to Ida Gallagher. The next morning we returned to the hos- pital to get the co-pilot. Since we had planned to see Don Sherman, Don Gaydosh, Paul Bartko, and Anthony Dabruzzo in the Rocket Races, we had to hustle like Mercury to get there on time. We bought our tickets from June Jaskolski and were guided to our seats by Mary Lou Liebel. Just as we were seated, the announcer, Bruce Cross, said, Now we are ready to start the after- noon's activities, but before we begin, l'd like to remind you to buy Pluto Pop Corn and Twinkle Pop from the Big Dipper sold by Hyacinth Michal- ski and Gert Krol. Acting as iudges today, we have Julia Hruska, Eleanor Mazurkiewicz, and Barb Kwiatkowski. Now the rockets are pulling up to the gate, and at the crack of Tom Phillips' gun, they're off! We were on our feet all through the race and saw Don Gaydosh win by a narrow margin over Beetle-Bomb. As we streamed through the gate, we saw Barb Kovtun and Audrey Lucot who also attended the races. Heading toward Saturn, our engine began to sputter. The pilot frantically tried to manipu- late the controls, but we began to lose altitude and fall in space. We kept falling, falling, fall- ing ----------- With a start, I awoke to find myself on the floor with my Buck Rogers comic book beside rne. To think this all was a dream! When do we sit?
