JUNIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES The words and music of “OH YES WE ARE THE JUNIORS. AND THE BEST CLASS IN THE SCHOOL, caused a hush to fall on the audience in the North W ebster High School auditorium consisting of high school students and faculty, on October 15, 1948, when the Junior Class presented the first variety show of the year. Phil Payne, then took over as master of ceremonies and introduced our distinguished guest, the President of the United States, Mr. K. J. Truman (alias Keith Smallwood) who was traveling through our friendly little city and stopped to give us a few planks from his platform. Next we had the well known, dazzling Margret Whiting, better known as Marietta Whitehead, breaking our hearts with “A Tree In The Meadow. What did he say? The Sax King of America? Why, who else but — Tex Beneke, gee, say there’s quite a resemblence to Rolfe Hunter. He has chosen the beloved “Nola for his solo. I never knew you could get such beautiful music from just a bent piece of pipe. Then our incomparable announcer introduces another singing sensation, that “Park Avenue Hillbilly, Dorothy Shay (incidently whose name is Pat Eberly) torching “Liza Jane. Phew -- water quick: Better late than never, another distinguished guest, who almost missed the train but got here after all, the honorable J. K. Dewey, (whose name is Rensberger) who will give us some planks from his platform. Now we turn the spot light on that darling from opera--Miss Carole Biltz, serenading us with a little Italian song, “Fiocca la Neve . No, no, what’s that screaming? Bud Abbot and LouCostallo (who were Bob Rhodes and Bobby Dishman.) Our announcer now turned the microphone over to an old fashioned Barber Shop Quartet complete with straw hats and mustaches, singing Good Night Listeners. The four great stars of this were Jerry Engle, Merritt Wagoner, Keith Smallwood, and Ed Tom. JUNIOR PLAY Romance, tragedy, comedy and drama were all to be formed in the three act play “Little Women , which was presented by the Junior Class on December 11, 1948, adopted from the celebrated novel of Louisa Mae Alcott by Arthur Jearue. The characters were as follows: Meg, the oldest daughter, practical and serious, Pat Eberle; Jo, outspoken and who wishes she had been a boy, Janie Frisinger; Amy, who tries to be a little lady, but instead gets her words twisted, Marge Gaerte; and sweet tempered optimist, Beth, who looks on the bright side of everything, Joan Smith; are the four March girls. Their mother, better known as Marmee was played by Helen Smallwood. Bob Rhodes with his clerical collar and deep voice was their father and preacher. Aunt March, Faye Pearson, whose bark was worse than her bite, was Mr. March’s sister. The rich boy next door, Laurie who had a little trouble with his tight suit was played by Phil Payne. John Brook, his bashful teacher, who became very fond of Meg, was Merritt Wagoner. Mr. Laurence, Laurie’s wealthy grandfather, and who treated the girls as if they were his own grandaughters was portrayed by Jerome Hood. Hannah, the comical cook, who had quite a time finding a costume was played by CarolScott. Keith Smallwood was the German professor who fell in love with Jo. The backbone of the play are those people who hardly ever get credit, but without them it would be impossible to give a play. They are as follows: Stage Manager Jerry Engle, who also was the bird and the voice off left. His committee which collected furniture and properties from here and there, and did a good job on painting the sets consisted of: Bernice S loam, Julia Durham, Alfred Engelberth, and Bob Rhodes. Another one of these committees was for advertising and tickets, headed by Ed Tom. This committee consisted of Bob Dishman and Rolf Hunter. The ushers for the evening were Marietta Whitehead, Carole Biltz, Allen Kuhn, and Rolf Hunter. Last but not least, the person the cast could not do without was our promptress; Julia Durham. 15
