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-
