With Nehls, Obrecht, and Yoder to lead us through, And Schlosser and ldstrom to help us too, We all worked hard for our Booster Club party, King Arthur's Court got laughs-real hearty, Our second year found troubles renewed, As pencil sellers we were really shrewd. Leaders Truman, Carol, and Marilyn helped us earn the money For the prom we hoped would be a honey. Ma and Pa Kettle entertained Camp Roberts' men, The Booster party was filled with laughs right then. Came '53-'54 with class rings and tape, Our leaders Jack, Kay, and Lila kept things in shape After the Booster skit School Days was put on, With help from Miss Carter and Mr. Hanson, Came April in Paris , the gym in blue and white, A cafe and dancing made it romantic that night. This year we came, both glad and sad, The last year at GHS-we felt quite bad. We worked right on as Armstrong, Reiser, and Doy Helped fill our parting months with joy. We leave these hallowed halls with memories of the past, Of all the things our lives forget, these will be the last. ' ' JOHN H.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY The comedy, You Can't Take It With You, presented November l9 and 20, was a smash hit. Alice, a working girl of about 20, finds dif- ficulty when she falls in love with Anthony Kirby, Jr., vice-president of the company and son of the boss. She doesn't think the families could ever get along. The Sycamores, Alice's family, are easy going, happy people. Not one of them has a steady job or pays any income tax. Grandfather collects snakes and attends commencements. Penny, Alice's mother, writes plays and paints. Father makes fireworks in the basement. Essie, Alice's sister, ballet dances to the accompani- ment of Ed on the zylophone and makes candy. Ed, Essie's husband, also sells the candy and has a hobby of printing. On the other hand, the Kirbys, Tony's family, are sophisticated Wall Street people. The happy ending brings the lovers to- gether, and the families start getting along better. Much color is added by Rheba and Donald, two colored servants, Boris Kalenkov, the dancing instructor, Gay Wellington, a drunken actress, and Mr. DePinna, an ice man who just stayed for eight years. Two of the high spots of the play were when the Kirbys came unexpectedly and when the J-Men arrested the whole house full of people. CAST Penelope Sycamore ,...,.. . ......

CIASS PRCDPI-I ECY Marilyn Doy, now head of the merchandising department at Saks on Fifth Avenue in New York City, was asked as secretary of the class of '54 to compile a book about the goals her former class- mates have achieved in the past twenty-five years. Here's what she found: lt's I979I It is easy to follow the careers of some of my class- mates for they are making a name for themselves here. For example, as I read through the paper today, I saw the names of several of my classmates. Janet Ague and Lora Lee Christensen were a big hit in their latest play, We'll Try To Take It With Us written by Mary Ann VanVooren. The art work was done by June Edwards. As I read on down the page, I saw that Bob Shafer and his band have just opened at the Waldorf. Terry Pritchard and Rodney Bo- deen are a great success with him. His feature vocalist is also a form- er classmate, Donna Heist. The popular TV show, Dave Rash and his Friends, now has Jean and Joan Painter and Janet and Joyce Anderson as the famous Toni twins. Dick Kenady, succes- sor to Jack Webb, is his guest for the evening. As I looked on the society page, I noticed that the former Kay Hodgson, gave a tea for the con- cert pianist, Marian Rivenburg. Pat Cherry, Rebecca Brokaw, and Marilyn Butzer were also in town from Geneseo and they attended. On the Society page, l also saw that Anna Gramling, Joan Rogers, and Barbara Gillespie, who have married wealthy husbands, are in Europe hunting for counts for their daughters. Turning to the sports page, I saw that Gary Eyer and Stanley Hutchinson are training to swim the Atlantic Ocean. Returning from the Olympics with honors are the track stars, Leroy Minor and Darrell Oldfield. Helen Sas- sen, Carol Reiser, and Pat Giesler were also on the Olympic team. Coach Chuck Emerick and Coach Jack Armstrong are both eyeing the Big Ten Conference title and a trip to the Rose Bowl. Soon to be in New York are Vern Cobb's nationally famous World Trot- ters. His stars are Truman Nehls and Dick Hunter. Some of the others were harder to locate. For instance, Charles Calhoun and Truman Meier have just completed their rocket ship and are taking names for their first trip to the moon. The first two to sign up were Norman Covert and Kenny Cherry. At the other corner of the earth, Merle Wigant and Don Wethington are leading an all-girl safari in Africa. The new Maharajah of India is Don Anderson. Still studying at the University are Sandra Gernant, Helen White, and Jean Anderson. They're majoring in Bumology. Won't they ever give up? Pat Wagle, Phyllis Fowler, Elaine Sand, and Maxine Johnson have just been given a free trip to Paris for their loyal service as airline hostesses. Joe Lavery and Arlyn Swiger are in Japan learn- l P' l Ji CLASS PROPH ECY ing the art of eating with chop- sticks. Top-notch jet flyers for the Navy are Leon Franck, Don Nel- son, and Pete Tiffany. They have just set new records. Chuck Claeys, Don Peterson, Bob Rose, and Bob Stahl have just put the latest in Hollywood mufflers on the market. Some of her old classmates she found were in the old town. Ruth Powers, Pat Swanson, Glenda Horn, Arlene Morton, and Venita Wolf are all married to successful Geneseo business men. Succeeding Dixie Price as presi- dent of Columbian Club is Mar- lene Andrews, The prominent mayor of Geneseo is Dan Morrissey while the new police chief is Royce Far- ber with Bob VanDeVoorde, Clif- ford Swanson, Jim Souers, and James Smith all on the force. Richard Anderson, Allen Ernst, Wilbur Schmoll, and Lawrence VanVooren, prominent Geneseo farmers, are on a Farm Bureau committee to perfect eyeless potatoes. Retired models now living in Geneseo are Janet Primmer, Janet Paxson, and Leslie Wallenfeldt. Alfred Reschke is making hun- dreds of dollars selling Cadillacs to Bob Egan and Kenneth Hamil- ton who are making a fortune in the new candy factory which they have started in Geneseo. ln this factory Lila Obrecht is the head of the experimental department, Ruth Schmidt is her assistant in finding and trying out new reci- pes. Jane Bowman and Barbara Furstenau are chief taffy pullers. Carolyn Helg and Rosanne Ha- mann put the nuts on top of the candies. John Shaw and Richard Voorhis are driving the delivery trucks for Egham's Candies. Pat Hadley and Jackie Hohen- boken, also living in Geneseo, are busy knitting good old fashioned wool socks for our troops stationed at the North Pole. Included in these troops are Marvin Bauwens, Richard Kincaid, Jack Merrill, and Ronald Roselieb. Don Farrow, a Geneseo photo- grapher, who has won world-wide fame with his photographs of life under water, has Carol Anderson and Pat Duncan working for him as models. He also has Ardith Miley modeling for pictures of her hair, the shampoo manufact- urers buy them like hot cakes. Rolland Johnson is manager of the great Geneseo baseball team. His team is sure to win the Na- tional League pennant with his star, George Mitts hitting a 300 batting average. Two other play- ers on this team are also hitting good averages, Bob Cauwels with 220, and Fred Misfeldt with 200. Pat Catour and Marlene John- son have recently opened a tea room in Geneseo. They have two good waitresses, Anita Coziahr and Vera Remour working for them. After finding out about her classmates of '54, Marilyn decid- ed that she was a member of a really good class in high school.
