JUNIOR PLAY N the evening of November 21st, the Junior Class presented the play, “RoomNo. 13. ” It was directed by Mr. Ted Graf el. If Janet Harris and Sally Hall had only known what awaited them, they would never have accepted the strange invitation of Janet’s uncle, Professor Snow, to visit him in his old home on the Hudson; nor would Jim Stevens, a young author, have begged the profes- sor to rent him a room there so he might live in a proper atmosphere for his next novel. The mysterious tramp who takes pleasure in hiding in chests and basements, turns out to be a detective. Madam Zelda conducts a seance to talk with her good friends, the spirits. Josh and Lizzie Spriggins, Professor Snow’s two creaky servants, search for their pets at all hours of the night. Room No. 13 ends happily for all, as Sally and her tramp round up the professor and his companions, who appear quite content to be returned to the asylum from which they escaped and Janet falls for the young author who finds in her, the answer to all his dreams. The members of the cast were: Lizzie Spriggins, the maid...............................................

I read in the Madison Press that Don Doran is playing professional basketball. I understand that Bill Donaldson travels with him as his manager. I was surprised to read that Bob Kenerait has made the Air Force his career and Permelia Dixon has realized her ambition of joining the Wacs. The paper also carried a lengthy article telling about Gloria Smith's art exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art. On Christmas Eve I attended services at the Baptist Church. The excellent sermon was given by Rev. Robert Wickert. While I was at Church I talked to Al- fred Nicely who happened to be in Madison for the weekend. He is the chief sur- geon at John Hopkins Hospital. He said Steve Drzik is an up and coming lawyer in Chicago. He hopes to enter politics before too long. Alfred also told me Frank Stanonik owned the Tool and Dye Co. in Paines ville and Paul Lutz owned his own gas station which is also in Painesville. Willie, Eli, and Jack Cone have just opened a big hunting lodge in Canada. I hear the lodge is a wonderful vacation spot. John Davidson, Mario Izzarelli, and Lynn Joiner are all happily married and they each own a farm in Madison. Bill Bittner is President of the Diamond Alkali Co. and Dick Bidlack is the Vice President. Jean Morris and Mary Jo McCormick are their private Secretaries. Gee, it seems good to hear that so many of our classmates are making good in the world. The only four I haven’t heard about are David Jones, Bob Snyder, Carl Fobeli, and Carolyn Bryer, but I imagine they have also made a success of their lives. Of course you know Jim Fenlason is a laboratory technician here in the hospital and a very good one too. Alex Sipos is busy doing research on Tuberculosis here. Pat Blackburn and I like nursing very much. We are hoping you will come to visit us soon. Good luck to you. As ever, Your friend, Carolyn Ritola Mary Ann, Jeweler Beauty Shop Madison, O Wilsons Corner Store 23 N. Madison, O
