F aifhful Undersfudies This is station H.M.H.S., Manual Mann speaking. The season's greatest success, according to the understudies, was the Variety Show. Imagine yourself in the fall of 1947. The atmosphere is clear and blue, the sun is shining brightly upon a huge brick building. There seems to be a feeling of festivity as we walk into the cool, spacious halls of Horace Mann School. Above the rhythmic clatter of locker doors being opened and closed, voices can be heard calling back and forth. Hello how are you? Its good to see you again. It really does feel good to be back in school But gee whiz do the teachers have to hand out so many books? U S History Macbeth CgroanjLat1n Advanced Biology Have you heard what we have to do before we can become seniors'-' No what? C In a low awed voicej Write a term paper As the scene changes from the dim halls 1nto the vast spaces of the auditorium we see boys and girls in blue leans with big floppy shirts hanging out feverishly ar ranging scenery We hear the swish swish of paint brushes squeakmg of curtains being pulled up and down students yelling instructions Whew is this ever tough work And when I think of myself on that stage before a huge crowd I get little prickly goose bumps all over me Me too determmedlyj I certainly hope our play Radio Rescue is a great hit We really knocked our selves flat on it As time goes whirling away, our scene changes from the bright, active air of the auditorium to a very large roomy hall with soft lights and music, branches of holly and mistletoe strategically placed, flakes of snow lightly perching on evergreens, to the sound of low sighs as the dancers float mystically around the hall. Yes, Yuletide greetings are here again and the students are gathered at the festive Holiday Ball. There were many other great variety acts during the ensuing spring but the most important for the under- studies was the Iunior-Senior Birthday Banquet. Decora- tions of many types were placed on the tables tin horn for Ianuary May Pole for May a little red school house for September and many more each symbolic of 1lS month Our stage changes from the rainy months of spring to the sunny month of Iune The sun and flowers have once more made their debut and young girls and boys minds turn to something else besides English and History I this glorious month of Iune 1S the anticipated Iumor Senior Prom Here amid garlands of flowers soft strains of music the hypnotic rustling of formals as the girls perou ette around the dance floor our young understudres have time to review their season They think it was a great success and so do we but the thoughts of these vibrant Juniors do not dwell with past experiences for very long they are seeing themselves in the next season as the leads Seniors Good night all' THE JUNIOR CLASS Horace Mann presents RADIO RESCUE By Charlotte Chorpenning October 9 10 ll THE CHARACTERS Sparky Dale Moreda 1 Iean Morrow Evelyn Olander Phyllis Cline Martha Marilyn Allen Iudy Sorrells Ioan Kistler Lena Iudy Sorrells lane Clements V1rg1n1a Frances Miss Fetterling Miss Carr Quinn Brakeman Engineer Mrs Horton Mike Iohn Stiles Glenn Wright Betty Behn Beverly Haught Ioyce McCullough Nora Morrow Ioan Olson Mickey Morton Ierry Beck Eugene Miller Dick Kaplan Karl Snepp Bruce Howland Sally Hodson Evelyn Olander Bob Clark Iohn Stiles SYNOPSIS OF SCENES Act l Night Corner of attic of the Orphan s Home Act 2 Next afternoon Interior of an abandoned mill Act 3 Night Embankment near railroad trestle at the washout I ,. , ., . . . . .
