•‘Where is your husband, tonight? •' He's home taking care of the kids.” “Have you seen anything of Joan Overmyer? She was suppose to be here tonight.” ”She told me she couldn’t make it. She had to take her primary class to Chicago on a trip.” “I see. Thank you, Juanita. ” Carolyn Cook, owner of this hotel, just came in to see if everything is all right. Things must be under control because she's now going back into her office.” Dick Dishman, cattle baron and packing house owner, is pretty close here at one table, chatting with Louise Ross. Miss Ross is a famous big game hunter and lady wrestler. Serving them is Jim Folk, expert caterer, whose fame as superb caterer has literally spread from London to Lhasa. Miss Cook was able to hire him only because they went to school together.” Here’s Federal Investigator Coverstone. Are you mixing business and pleasure tonight C liff? Yes, partly. I’m trying to keep an eye on B ob Black, a report came through that some foreign spies are after him. “If someone would walk up behind you and say—‘This is a stickup, fork over all your dough'--what would you say? ” Hello, Mort” “Thank you, Cliff Coverstone. “We pause now for station identification.” CLASS DIRECTORY NAME NICKNAME NOTED FOR OUTCOME Robert B lack Pete B rain Storms Sheik Douglas Black Douger His Bees B ee Keeper C arolyn C ook C ookie B londe Hair Owner of a telephone switchboard C lifton C overstone Clif F ixing Anything H andyS hop George C unningham Honest George Shyness Informationist At Depot Richard Dishman Dick Southern Drawl C onductor B ob F idler Flirt J udy Good F ather James Folk J im Keeping Busy C ounty S uper intendent Glen Hiner F uzzy Reckless Driving New Car Dealer M arson Kelly Kelly Drawing S ign B oard Painter Joan Overmyer Red Studying T eacher Juanita Popenfoose Tex Long Skirts M rs.

ACT I: CLASS HISTORY ‘‘A Comedy of Terrors” A group of frightened, rabbity F reshmen are clustered in the cloistered hall of dear old North W ebster High (for whom we'd all die). In the background can be heard the dreadful rip of hair as Seniors attempt to make out their schedules. TIME: September 1, 1945. First F reshman; “Who all is here? ” Second Ditto: Oh, scads of people. Our fellow Freshmen this year are Bob B rown, Dave Payne, Loren Neibert, S hanbeck, W hite, W eimer, C over stone, Doug and B ob B lack, F idler, Dick Dishman, Annie Kuhn, F uzzy Hiner- First F reshman: ”1 say, old man, come up for air.” S econd Greenie: “Jo Ann W arble, B ev M ock, Kelly, Juanita Popenfoose, Louise Ross, Cunningham, Buggs Rider, Barbara Gieseking, and I guess that’s all.” Independent Minority: IsthatAll? Brother,-----” W atchman F reshman: “Scatter, brethren, theSeniors approcheth.”” (As the group scurries for cover, it is joined by Gloria Matthew.) ACT II: The Freshmen, now a year older are S ophomores. As our scene opens, the group is filing into W or Id History C lass. When halfway in. they are joined by Carol P ric e, L ar r ita and R eba Knouff, J ames F oik and J ayne K line. T hen J oan Overmyer walks into class late with an excuse blank.

Buggs Rider: “Yeah, tell us about the three bears. (B arbara Gieseking and Loren Neibert exit, permanently.) ACT III: The class of ‘49 are now Juniors. As our scene opens, everyone is hurrying around making money. No one says anything; too busy. Later on B ob Brown, Bev Mock, Dave Payne, Carol Price and the Knouff girls exit, permanently. We won the class tourney. ACT IV: Hooray, hooray, we're S eniors” Between hunting Freshmen and signing up for our diplomas, no one says anything. Among the missing are Annie Kuhn and Jayne Kline. Gloria Matthew leaves presently. Then everyone exits, permanently but forlornly. FINIS 12
