It has been our goal in compiling this year book to attribute to each individual every honor he deserves and to recognize those students who have contributed to the welfare of M. H. S. The memories of our high school days will be dear to us in years to come. To help preserve these pleasant memories we give you this Quill of 1950. Teresa Gritzner-Pat Howe Editors DEDICATION We wish to express our gratitude to Mrs. Wini- fred Deeds and Miss Marie Frankenfield, who have so willingly contributed of their time to su- pervise the production of our annual. In appreciation of their services and guidance to the class of '50 we gratefully dedicate this Quill.

We trust your Alma Mater has taught you to hate and fear only the things in this life which ought to be hated and feared-dishonesty, in- justice, intolerance, ignorance, irrev- erence, selfishness, poor sportsman- ship and all other detestable atti- tudes. As you leave Marion High School your faculty extends congratulations and every good wish for the future. C. B. VERNON The Board of Education , l Left to right: Mr. J. F. Gruenwald, Mrs. Robert Hess, Mr. Arthur Lyons isecretaryl, Mr. Gilbert Rathman, Mr. Paul Rose. Mr. Irvin Ford. The pictured Board of Education is the one which served throughout most of the seniors' last year of school. In March Mr. Irvin Ford decided not to file nomination papers, having faithfully served for twelve years as a member of this group. The newly-elected member mot picturedj is Mr. Merrill Smith. The president of the Board for the new year is Mr. Rose: the vice-president is Mr. Rathman. 5 Commencement marks a beginning, not an end. True, your high school days are ended with graduation, but the real oppor- tunities of life are just beginning. Oppor- tunities to be of service to your community or to your fellowmen are just about to open to you. It is the hope of your faculty that each of you may make a worthwhile contri- bution to the welfare of humanity in the coming years, for that man lives most who serves best. May you serve well! cl.

NOON LUNCH PROGRAM When fourth hour arrived and everyones mouth began to water, it was due to the tantalizing odors drifting up from the kitchen, where about 215 daily customers received hot lunches. The third year of the school lunch program showed an ever increasing business and much of this was due to the good cooking of the ladies in the kitchen. Mrs. Stanley Kellams headed the force and planned nutritious meals. Her assistants were Mrs. Oscar Byam and Mrs. J. C. Paul. Miss Wallace was cashier and Mr. McLeod was general overseer of the gym dining room. LEST WE FORGET-THE JANITORS Here are the two men who though unheralded are never forgotten. They are the last ones you see when leaving the school at night and the first ones to greet you in the morning. Without them how many of us would have gone home without a pen, book, scarf or any other of numerous articles left behind the locked door of a classroom! They have a never-ending job of empty- ing waste baskets filled with all sorts of curious objects. They are ever on call to fix a broken chair or put in a new light bulb. Sometimes we forget floors have to be swept and fires tended, but the jani- tors do not. Thanks, Mr. Lang and Mr. Beach. We'l1 remember you as long as we remember our school. You're really friends to us all. 6171013 N Qi? 'S SENIORS CORWIN ABERNATHY Corky His ways are like the course of the Mississip- piflined with bluffs.

MOTTO They conquer who believe they can COLORS Rainbow Colors FLOWERS Sweetpeas CLASS HISTORY Setting: Marion High School Showgrounds Time: Fall of 1946 Featuring: 82 performers fstars-to-bel As we enter the Big Top, we hear the band playing Barnum and Bailey's Favorite and see eighty-two anxious faces waiting to start their four-year contract with Marion High School, where they will seek the highest rung possible on the ladder of education. After everyone has milled in, reached his seat, bought popcorn, candy, and programs, there is a drum roll and cymbal crash. The master of ceremonies, Mr. Smith, announces the sections of the performance, and the intro- ductory parade begins as the band strikes up the Thunder and Blazes March. Bill Liebe, Dick Johnson, and Pat Baughman, guided by Miss Mentzer, start the Parade mov- ing. We see a good representation in athletics, vocal and instrumental music, and G. A. A. Eight hard-working performers represent the distinguished honor roll. Barrie Gable, selected as fresh- man reporter on the Vox Staff, enters in proper style. Following this enthusiastic worker comes our brave orator, Sue Cary. Here comes this section's Homecoming candidates, Pat Armstrong and Sue Cary, bobbing with joy. Approaching with vigor come our athletes-Corwin Abernathy and Dave Rathje receiving major letters in football, seven Freshman-Sophomore letter winners, and our track heroes Krog and Rathje with minor letters. The band plays on with the expert aid of Bill Liebe and Agnes Mullaley, who participated in groups taking first place at the National Music contest in St. Joseph, Missouri. Professor Liebe also took first rating on his saxophone solo. As the last of the parade leaves the Big Top, Mr. Swartzendruber comes forward to announce me performances. Ladies and Gentlemen. Entering at my right are the aerialists, who include Bobby Peck, Agnes Mullaley, and Laura Lee Freeman as class officers, coached by Mrs. Goodyear, and eight members of the honor roll. Next come the acrobats, or sports announcers, led by Don Stamy. Here come the twelve galloping members of the Dramatic and Science Clubs and the musical trapeze artists with their heads full of inspiration, directed by Laura Lee Freeman, drum major, and her two able assistants, Veda Pollock and Pat Armstrong. The outcome of the acrobats' per- formance reveals Dick Krog's major letter in football, the WaMaC Title for Freshman-Sophomore basketball, and Dick Krog's and Dave Rathje major letters in track. And here is what you've been waiting for! The sensation of the evening, our beautiful, pop- ular, tight-wire walkers, Pat Armstrong and Sue Cary. The applause still rings in our ears as we approach the third section of the circus. The bark- ers, Barrie Gable, Allan Mally and Sue Cary, backed by Miss Woolverton, bring this to our atten- tion. As we enter the tent we hear the biggest little band of America playing Onward Marion plus the round, robust voices of the chorus. Next we see the athletic arena with the new football stars of Fisher, Gable, King, and Murdoch, the basketball major-letter winners of Bailey, Gable, Johnson, King, and Krog Cwho were finally downed by Montezuma in sub-statejg WaMaC title- winners in track with Abernathy, Bailey, Fisher, Krog, and Rathje-and, of course, the one and only cross-country runner, Allan Mally. Here are the masterminds-National Honor Society mem- bers CSue Cary, Barrie Gable, Carole Hamilton, and Mary Ann Rossj assisted by the other eight members of the honor group. Included in this ring also are the student council representatives, Mary Lou Nielsen, Robert Peck, and Willis Schnell, who rack their brains to satisfy this fun-loving Class of '50. Our attention rests now upon the dramatics fSue Cary, Agnes Mullaley, Mary Ann Ross, Don Stamy, and Edna Vikdalj with their vice president, Corky Abernathy and secretary, JoAnn Failorg they give us a synopsis of their past activities with this circus. There are the Linguists fwith Sam Baez as presidentj, the Scientists, and our eleven Hi-Y Boys. Be- 18 uold! the Celebrities of Today!! Sam Baez and Barrie Gable of the Big Ten, Dave Rathje, the most eligible bachelor, Sue Cary and Laura Lee Freeman, Homecoming candidatesg Sandra Blazek, Sue Cary, Carole Hamilton, and Mary Lou Nielsen, state contest winners, and Sam Baez and Dick Krog, candidates to the annual Boys' State. Now we come upon the Cast of '50, presenting their junior class play, Best Foot Forward. A group depicting the Junior-Senior prom lingers in our minds as We move asain into the Big Top. Setting: Marion High School Showgrounds Time: 1949-50 Featuring: 69 Stars Here we are back at the Big Top for the Finale. The trumpets blare and everyone is quiet, as into the ring prance the Indians, who have won the Conference in football with eleven braves carrying away major letters. fAbernathy, Krog, and Rathje are choices for WaMaC team posi- tions.J Then the spectacular fight in basketball. They scalp all their WaMaC foes and carry off the loot, the victories in the state tournament boost them to one of the top eight teams, breaking the old and setting a new record-the braves receiving major letters for their prizes. There is Barrie Gable, taking the honors as forward on the third All-State team! Oh, here comes Mally, our cross-country winner, tying for first and collecting another major. Oh-h-h, look there, isn't she pretty? Our one and only Queen of the Big Top, Pat Armstrong, followed by her attendants, Laura Lee Freeman and Bette Larson! And now appear the Dramatic players with three new members fPat Howe, Nancy Klopp, Pat Baughmanj, Agnes, their president, and Edna, Mary Ann, and Don, her helpers. Mary Ann turns and takes a second bow, as she is the editor of our paper and also the D. A. R. Candidate from our Big Top. Here's something for the ladies-the Most Eligible Bachelor of 1950, Dick Krog. Good people, our singers Sandy, Mary Lou, Sam, Sue, Pat Howe, Dixie, Don and the chorus in the operetta, are presenting Campus Daze. Here come the Hi-Y with Dick Johnson at the lead, assisted by Corky Abernathy, Bob Wheeler, Bill Fisher and J acl-1 King. Now our attention turns to the opposite side of the ring where the G. A. A. is putting n gymnastics under the direction of Janet McCune, accompanied by Mary Lou, Pat A., and Agnes. Here is the typing demonstration engineered by Margaret Parker, Sandra Blazek, Virginia Em- nons, and Dean Knight of Alpha Beta Gamma. Next are the scientists, where Mary Ann is giving a lecture with Sue and Agnes doing the experiments. Sue is now reading the minutes of the last meeting of the Spanish Club in Espanol. Here comes the band playing Hall of Fame. Carole Hamilton won a seat in the All-State Orchestra. And now the president of the Band Council, Edna Vikdal, is conferring with other members, Sue and Arnie, on what to play next. Many musicians play and sing their way to top billing. Ah-h-h-the Senior play, a chilling mystery, The Vampire Bat ! A drum roll is sounded and here comes the final Parade of the 69 stars. Led by President Sam Baez, Vice-president Laura Lee Freeman, Secretary-Treasurer Pat Armstrong, and the ring master, Miss Frankenfield, they file past the grandstand, while the band plays The P r i e s t s' March. There is loud applause and a little sorrow, for their superb performance has come to an end.

FOOTBAII - 1950 Ten lettermen formed the nucleus of Coach Hipple's first WaMaC Football Champions. Ap- proximately seventy hopefuls reported for the first practice, and many of them stayed out for the whole season. After plenty of hard work on the practice field Marion went into the first game and came home with the victory over Belle Plaine 34-0 and then halted Wellman's two-year winning streak 46-0. Marion then opened the Conference play by meeting Monticello, being held to a tie in a high- scoring 26-26 affair. After this the team buckled down and took Anamosa, Vinton, and Maquoketa on successive weeks without too much trouble. Then against Manchester, our captain and hard- driving fullback, Dave Rathje, suffered a knee-injury, but Marion had already put the game on ice. We then took Independence 20-7 in a hard fought game. With Rathje back in the line-up we went into the final game of the season and beat Tipton 14-7 in the game that cinched the WaMaC Cham- pionship. The success of the team can be attributed to hard work, training, and great coaching by Coaches Hipple and McLeod. Two seniors, Corky Abernathy? and Dave Rathje' received their fourth major letters. Dick Krogg received his third, while Barrie Gablet, Jack King ', Bill Fishers, and George Murdoch' received their second letters along with juniors Bob Williams ', Bill Hintzt, and George Palmerf. Those receiving their first letter were Jim Bailey, Sam Baez, Bob Wheeler, Dick Franklin, Ron Meythaler ', Ed Merritt, Bob Jeffrey and Russ Seeks. 30 FRESI-IMANfSOPH OIVIORE FOOTBALL I First Row-- CLeft to Righty Justice, M.

They were Captain Dave Rathje at full- back, Dick Krog at halfback, Corky Abernathy at guard, and George Palmer, our captain elect, at tackle. Next year's team looks as if it can have another good season and all the seniors wish them luck. The football reserves won three games and lost none. The freshman squad lost one to Vinton but later beat them as well as defeating the eighth grade team.

The Indians went on to win twenty-three straight games before they were defeated by Ankeny 140-473 in the second round of the state finals. At the start of the season there were many who thought that this year's team wouldn't win as many games or go as far in tournament play as last year's team. But they were wrong! Marion won the WaMaC Conference title without a defeat in confer ence play and then went farther than any other Mar- ion team has gone in tournament play. Never has there been more support for the team than there was this season. The 1949-1950 team showed how to win a game in the final minutes when it appeared a lost cause, good sportsmanship, and plenty of fight. This outfit, one of the scrappiest produced by Coach Hipple, has set an excellent example for future Marion teams to follow. Letter winners were six seniors 4Gable, D. Johnson, King, Krog, Murdoch, and Baileyj, six juniors 1Williams, Christensen, Roby, Merritt, Tudeen, and Kasslerj, and three sophomores QLeffingwell, Lund- quist, and Seeksl. Gable won a place on the third team of the I.D.P.A. All-State team, while Bob Williams had honorable mention. The seniors wish the 1950-1951 team good luck in their games and hope that Coach Hipple and the athletes can keep Marion one of the top athletic sch ools in the state.

There were many freshmen and sophomores who went out, but the varsity squad was trimmed down somewhat without the expected support of the upperclassmen who in previous seasons strengthened the chances of winning the WaMaC Conference meet. The Marion Relays were cancelled this season be- cause of a conflict with music contests. The likely looking prospects for this season iincomplete as the Quill goes to pressy are Abernathy, Mally, Fisher, D. Johnson, Edmunds, Tudeen, Palmer, Jones, Pinch, and Novotny. Allan J.

Kenny, Mr. Yeoman The fall track program consists in a sense of a bunch of hard, weather-beaten individuals who have to really put out to obtain the mention of their achievements in public once or twice a season! These fellows, along with previous squads, have held the state cross-country two-mile run in the long list of B-schools for five consecutive championship runs now, and, the way the prospects look, they will continue to hold it for some time to come. With the fine coaching of Mr. Yeoman the following fellows took a second in the mile-run at Iowa City: Mally, Edmunds, Pinch, Hotz. At the state two-mile cross-country run there was a three-way tie between Edmunds, Mally and Hotz for first place with H. Pinch bringing up fourth place for Marion. Medals were received by Edmunds, Mally and Hotz, who drew numbers for position. H. Pinch was fortunate enough to receive a medal for fourth place which had never been given before. Letters have not yet been received by these boys as the Quill goes to press. Good luck next year, fellows! Allan Mally STATE TOURNAMENT DAYS!

For the first time in Marion's history the high school basketball team earned its position as one of the Sweet Sixteen teams who fight it out in the state meet at the University of Iowa Fieldhouse for the champion- ship trophy. To reach the state finals the Marion squad defeated Coggon 63-40 and Springville 40-36 in the sec- tional, Immaculate Conception of Cedar Rapids 39-36 and Monticello 65-36 in the district, Washington 70-46 and Albia 45-41 in the sub-state. Marion advanced to the quarter-finals by defeating Loras of Dubuque 53-39 before bowing out to Ankeny 40-47. The whole school and the community were proud of the tournament squad-and, win or lose, they were always the favorites of their many fans. 35 G. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association got under way this year with an enrollment of 111, and Mrs. Goodyear, our sponsor, was back with us again after a year's absence. Those elected for office by the G. A. A. members this year were Janet McCune, presidentg Mary Lou Nielsen, vice-president, Pat Armstrong, secretary, Agnes Mullaley, treasurer, and Margaret Evans, point chairman. In the fall the formal initiation, which included a candlelight ceremony, was held in the gym with 44 new members enrolling. The G. A. A. s p o ns o r e d a number of dances throughout the year. The largest project in this field was the annual Big-Ten Ball on April 14, where ten student-elected good citizens of Marion High School were honored. On the athletic side of activities there were tournaments of soccer, volleyball, basket- ball and softball. A picnic ended another successful year of G. A. A. In the latter part of the year numerals, letters and state pins were awarded to those who had earned them. JUNIOR - SENIOR G. A. A. First Row-lleft to rightb Failor, Luck, Richmann.

In July the entire band participated in the Band Festival held in Cedar Rapids. During the Christ- mas holidays the band marched in the Cedar Rapids Santa Claus parade. The members were chosen for the picked band at the WaMaC band clinic held at Manchester. A special honor came to Arnold Benedict in that the judges called him the outstanding woodwind soloist of the WaMaC band clinic participants. Marjorie Lala, baritone, and Carole Hamilton, flute, were chosen to play in the state band at Des Moines. Marjorie Lala played first chair. A concert for the public in February in which some numbers were played by the junior band and some by the senior band was well accepted by the public. Music has been furnished at all basketball and football games by the band members. First places in the State Contest last year were won by Trumpet Quartet KJ. Snell, L. Ford, D. Bailey, and S.

This show was highlighted by special dances and solos with the chorus background. The Christmas assembly this year, a program of Christmas carols, was presented through the combined efforts of the Vocal Department and the Band. The Second Girls' Glee Club provided entertainment at the December P.T.A. meeting. Small groups and soloists have entertained many of our local clubs. The Boys' Quartette attended a vocal clinic at Iowa City in February. The mixed chorus also enjoyed a hay-rack party in the fall. The groups for the 1950 spring contest included Boys' Quartet, Mixed Quartet, Girls' Trio, Girls' Sextette, Madrigal, Boys' Glee Club, Girls' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. Soloists were San- dra Blazek, Sally Byam, Betty Ann DeJong, Valeta Hansen, Norma Harris, Marilyn LeClere, Elva Peick, Many Ann Ross, Mary Walter, David McCalley, Edwin Carlson, Arnold Benedict, Lyle Fish- er, John Kassler, Bill Hintz, and Bob Quinn.

The chorus council included Sandra Blazek, Janet McCune, Mary Lou Nielsen, Sue Cary, Bob Quinn, Bill Lundquist, Pat Howe, and John Kassler. Mrs. Willys Hulin, our new director, deserves much credit for the fine work done by the vocal music organizations. Accompanists were Lyle Fisher, Marjorie Morningstar and Janet Gordon.

The Marion Dramatic Club's first act in the fall of 1949 was to try out and elect ten new members to the club. On October 6, 1949, the new members were initiated. The officers conducted a formal, candlelight ceremony, which was followed by a very informal initiation. During the first semester two one-act plays were presented. Lyle Fisher directed One of Us, a murder mystery, and Edna Vikdal and Billy Moffatt directed Call Me John, a domestic comedy. March 30 and 31 the Dramatic Club presented a three-act play under the capable direction of Miss Terrill. Marjorie Morningstar was cast as Angie, the teen-age girl, in the play Seventeenth Summer. We, the graduating members of the club, found Dramatic Club work educational as well as enjoyable, and we want to wish next year's members a full and successful year. STUDENT COUNCIL l 4 .

SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club had a very active year under the sponsorship of Miss Gretchen Mentzer. With Leota Hays as president, Don Hay as vice-president, Sue Cary as secretary, and Harry Pinch as treasurer, the club had an eventful year seeing movies, playing Spanish games, having speakers on Latin America, and doing many interesting things at the monthly meetings. A one- act play was presented to the high school assembly by members of the club in the spring. The purpose of El Club Espanol is to promote better relations with Latin American countries. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club is open to any high school student who is taking a science course while he is a member. This year the initiates were put on probation for the first semester, and during that time they were to complete a project. Shortly after the beginning of the second semester a very informal initiation was held. Zeta Mu Epsilon fthe formal namej is a member of the Iowa Junior Academy of Science, and a large group of members attended the Academy's convention in Iowa City on April 21 and 22. These people took individual projects, and the club sent its group project, a movie of school activities. In December the club sponsored a never-to-be-forgotten Christmas dance, and in the spring the members enjoyed a picnic. Several members sold popcorn at the basketball games to bolster the treasury. The officers for this year were Mary Ann Ross, president, Sue Cary, vice-president, and Ag- nes Mullaley, secretary-treasurer. Our sponsors are Mr. Yeoman and Mr. Swartzendruber. ALPHA BETA GAMMA The first meeting of the Commercial Club was held in the typing room on September 29, 1949. The year's work was outlined and mystery names were exchanged. The following officers were elected: Margaret Parker, president, Sandra Blazek, vice-president, Virginia Emmons, secretaryg and Dean Knight, treasurer. Miss Amelia Petrusch is the club sponsor. During the year the group enjoyed several machine demonstrations by representatives from various business concerns and toured several business offices. A number of speakers gave talks on secretarial and civil-service positions. The group had several parties and one formal dinner during the year. HI-Y Clean Speech, Clean Living, Clean Sportsmanship -this is the creed the thirty-one mem- bers of Marion Hi-Y have used as their guide to attain high ideals. Officers during the present year were Dick Johnson, presidentg Corwin Abernathy, vice- pres- identg Bob Wheeler, secretary, Bill Fisher, treasurerg Jack King, sergeant - at - arms, and Jim Bailey, assistant sergeant - at - arms. Mr. Schmidt is the faculty sponsor. At the beginning of the year a delegation was sent to Davenport, Iowa, to attend a leadership conference. Projects of the organization included ushering at the basketball games and selling pencils inscribed with the season's basketball schedule. Two candidates, Don Stamy as Senator and Edwin Blinks as Representative, were sent to the Hi-Y Youth and Government Program at Des Moines. The year has been an interesting 'and successful one. May the Marion Hi-Y members continue to grow in -Body, Mind, and Spirit! 48 f eaiffea' df PROPHECY CBy Pat Baughman, Nancy Klopp, Margaret Nesetrilj Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Right this way! Come in and see the Johnson and Bailey Circus, me greatest show on earth. As we approach the big top we see Nancy Clemens and Oliver Walkner yelling loudly to all to buy their tickets. As we greet them and buy our tickets, Ralph Hilmer comes and ushers us to our seats, which are by the notable surgeon, Pat Howe, and his two assistants, Dixie Rathman and Agnes Mullaley. To their right is George Murdoch, prominent undertaker, who has had a great business since Pat hung out his shingle. In front of us we see the first woman mayor of Cedar Rapids, Mary Ann Ross, and her private secretary, Dean Knight. Barrie Gable, basketball coach at Whistle Stop, Tennessee, and Dave Rathje, head football coach at the University of Alaska, complete this group. We wave as Nancy Klopp, lovely Hollywood model, and her dress designer, Donna Tyner, pass by. They are escorted by the rich Oklahoma rancher, Jim Benedict, and his right hand men, Arlo Benesh and George Shaw. And here comes the Dean of the School for Young Ladies, Bob Wheeler. With him are two of his lovely proteges, Pat Armstrong, and Veda Mae Pollock. Across the tent we see another group of M.H.S. alumni-Ann Solomon, who has won world- wide renown from her book on etiquette, the Stork Club's new manager, Allan Mallyg - his torch singer, Betty Larson, and Lenore Stenerson, who recently was acclaimed to be the best short- hand writer in the U. S. To their right sits Prof. Willis Schnell, well known Zoologistg Pat Baughman, whose new book Away With The Breeze has been voted the novel of the year , Republican Senator from Iowa, Don Stamyg and his private secretary, Joan Brooks. Talking business over in the far corner we spy Margaret Parker, editor of the Chicago Daily. News, Danny Pitcher, ace reporter for the paper, Janet McCune, society and fashion editorg and the cooking expert, Betty Ransier. Suddenly we hear a loud clamor and who should enter but Vonda Freeman and her kindergar- ten class all excited about seeing the circus. With her is Sue Cary, Dean of Cary's School for Lone- some Men. Giving the circus band a critical eye are Arnie Benedict, music teacher at P. U. University, and Carole Hamilton, flute soloist with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. JoAnn Failor, who originated The Failor Method of handwriting, which is being taught now in all public schools, is sitting by Carol Stimson, dance instructor at one of the Arthur Murray schools and Phyllis Glass, who operates a Learn to Drive establishment, the cars all being furn- ished by her husband. General Richard Franklin, commander-in-chief of the Army Air Corps, is seen talking to the former Laura Lee Freeman, now wife of a rich grocery store manager, and Dick Krog, now coach at M.H.S. Bob Peck, who just arrived from Toofus, Germany, where he saved hundreds of choppers with his new dental discovery, and Jack King, Certified Public Accountant, the always did have an eye for figuresj are listening intently to Marie Wagn-er, famous lecturer who has traveled 17 times around the world, tell of her last visit to the Belgium Congo. Marabel Howe also is telling of the trials of being a commercial teacher. Just then the circus band starts playing and in comes Bob Wallace, famed horse trainer, astride his great golden Palomino. He is followed by Bill Fisher, sword swallower of great renown, who will swallow any metal object the audience gives to him. It is rumored that he has made quite a sum of money from his dealing with Katz Salvage after each performance. Now coming into the center of the ring is a trio of strong men, Verne Tanner, Joe Cook, and Gilbert Camp. They lift huge 500 pound weights with one hand while combing their hair with the other. Suddenly we hear a loud commotion and here we find coming up the aisle the former Virginia Emmons, Phyllis Carsner, Margaret Nesetril, and all their children. Soon they are all settled and the show continues. George Klingler, daredevil on wheels, drives his car at ninety miles an hour up a plank and through a huge hoop of fire. As he emerges grinning and unhurt, in comes Maxine Schlotterback, Lois Miller and Doris Wright, owners of the Roll Around Roller Rink in Chicago. They thrill us with their fancy skating, and as they skate away Lynn Johnson takes over. 50 Lynn now owns Pool Paradise in New York City and shows us some tricky shots with his hands tied behind him. Something seems to be holding up the next act, so while we are waiting we have some im- promptu entertainment from the audience. Sandra Blazek and Mary Lou Nielsen, who are current vocalists with the new swing band. 0'Kelly's Krew, sing a popular tune for us, while Texas Oil Tycoon Leo Allen, throws 5510 bills to them. Exhibition boxer Corky Abernathy then steps into the spotlight for one round. Before it is finished, however, the call comes for a doctor, and Dr. Sam Baez hurries to Corky's side. It proves to be nothing serious, and the round is finished with a flourish. Next Edna Vikdal and Teresa Gritzner play a vibraharp and organ duet. The two are s:hed- uled to perform at Carnegie Hall sometime during the next two weeks. Finally we find out what was holding up thact. Into the ring come three young coons dressed in sparkling white satin shirts, a coon dog whose fur is trimmed with sequins, and their trainer. We recognize underneath the tall silk hat and tails that it is our own Bill Liebe. As he puts them through their paces we see Jan Ebsen, the famous artist, rapidly sketching them for her latest masterpiece. As the applause dies away and we rise to leave, we all feel supremely happy, because all of the members of the class of '50 have found their niche in the world.
