During this time, the band, under the direction of Mr. Dambach, has never missed a performance at a scheduled football game or a program. Mr. Dambach, has, indeed, worked very hard with the bands, glee clubs and smaller ensembles. He deserves a great deal of credit, and in this small way, we hope to show our appreciation to him. tlma 'Wtatei Oh, Del-Hi, live on forever Forever and for aye, Your memories sweet will oft repeat The joys of bygone days. Come on. join in the chorus; And swell the glad refrain, We'll shout and cry. Oh. Delta Hi— Forever praise thy name. “SwuC SdoccattoK Wilbur Kleck Paul Hartley Elroy Rupp O. M.

Jra Lake, Mr. Hilly, Tom McQuillin, Marlene Dailev, Chuck Kettstatt, Hud Demaline. i his play takes place in the home of Justinia (Diane Greisinger) and Sophia (Pat Ziegler) Tuttle, two maiden ladies who have inherited great wealth. As the play begins, Carrie, the maid (unbeknown to the Tuttles) a famous crook (played by Marlene Dailey) is trying to call her accomplice to tell him that the job is all set for a quick killing. Since all this has been published in the paper, the Tuttles are a bit worried; so they call for a cjetective to come and guard the house. Sophia is expecting her lover. Rev. Nathanial Hicks (Ronald Lozer) to come and pay her a visit. When the doorbell rings, she becomes completely furious; but it happens to be only Dr. Shanke (John Borck), who has been summoned to the bedside of the ailing cook, Nora, (Voleta Wachtmann). Peggy (Marcia McQuillin) is being reprimanded for her association with a certain Frank Dale (Vernon Mull), who was believed to have stolen some money at a party. She is forbidden to see him and becomes very sad. However, she talks Justinia into seeing things her way. Justinia received a telegram front a certain Horace Pickcrall (Tom McQuillin), who had been her long lost lover. They expect Horace to arrive at any time. Jim Conway (Chuck Rettstatt), Carrie’s accomplice in crime, arrives to take the jewels. Just as he arrives. Kennedy, the detective, (Bud Demaline) also arrives and immediately becomes suspicious. To avoid capture. Jim gives the name of Horace. When the real Horace arrives, he is immediately captured and chloroformed by Jim. Winnie Dale also comes to see Peggy and to tell her that Frank would like to see her. Winnie (Kathryn Havens), who also is not welcome, must sneak away from the house. Michial Cassidy (Ira Lake), a policeman and the lover of Nora, comes to pay Nora a visit. Jim cleverly plants the jewels on Dr. Shanke, and then the Dr. and Rev. Hicks are held under handcuffs. When the real Horace is discovered, he is accused of being the crook and is also under suspicion. The two crooks. Jim and Carrie, chloroform the detective. Kennedy, but he returns and has the case solved. Mike Cassidy and Kennedy march the two crooks off to jail, and the Tuttle household is at rest once again. Frank, who has been hiding in the house, also gives the law a great deal of aid and wins the good graces of the Tuttle sisters and also wins the hand of Peggy. Sophia and Nathanial; Justinia and Horace, and Frank and Peggy make for a triple wedding. The members of the cast would like to thank Mr. Hilty for his splendid work in directing this play.

Since such a large portion of “Ye Olde Class of 53” was actor minded, we put on two plays instead of the traditional one. “Curtain Going Up” is a play within a play. Miss Burgess (Jeanette Woodring), a very lovely young dramatics teacher in her first role as director of the play at Riverview High, had no idea whatsoever as to what she was in for. It seemed that everyone was against her. Everyone, that is, except Norman Carter (Russel Cook), the journalism teacher. It appeared that Miss Burgess was to make an enemy of him too, though, when she selected Lorry Fuller (Beverly Ballin) to play the lead; for Lorry was to go to a journalism conference the same night the play was to be presented. On the first day of practice, the play books were stolen by Nancy Leve ridge (Pat Thompson), who was extremely jealous because she did not get the lead in the play as she did in every other activity that took place at Riverview. Other characters in the play were Jocko Guthrie (Larry Konrath), a rather sophisticated sort of individual, who captures the leading male role, playing opposite Lorry Fuller. This makes Lorry’s boy friend. Andy Fullbright (Hal Dinius), jealous. Tony Peterson (Dale Fraker) was the janitor whose bark was worse than his bite, and Miss Burgess made an enemy of him the first day of practice by refusing to let him witness rehearsal. Miss Carolyn Moran (Jane Meister) and Miss Henrietta Rivers (Nancy Stiri .) were old-guard teachers at Riverview, who thought they knew far more about the directing of a class play than Miss Burgess. Four mixed-up girls, who wanted to be actresses but didn’t know how, were Elsie Hunter (Janice Barker), Sylvia Moore (Donna Mohler), Janet Young (Joyce Mandlv) and Joan White (Catherine Markley). Jocko’s aunt. Kyle Roberts, former movie actress, who came to see Jocko act, was portrayed by Florence Pelton. Milt Sanders, a playboy who mixed everything up worse than it already was, was played by Roger Johansen. Buck O’Hara, the athlete, who didn’t really want a part, was played by John Kraska. Mr. Richard Leveridge. Nancy’s father and banker of Riverview. was Budd Gillespie. Our many thanks go to our able director, Mr. Hilty, who worked very hard to make our play a success. June 1, 1952, was a very eventful day in the lives of the class of ’53. Toledo Union Station was the point of embarkation! After the stampede to the car, reserved for the Delta herd.” the scramble for seats began, and doors were locked to prevent escape. The herders for this trip were Mr. Lozer, Mr. Mezaros, Miss Diller and Miss Grismore. The first thing Diane Greisinger did was to become chummy with the porter. This was handy —she received two pillows for the “brawl” which started after the lights were dimmed. We arrived at “Sailor City” just in time to be “loaded” into sight-seeing busses which carried us to Carvell Hall for lunch. After a long, drawn-out tour of the city, we were taken to Harry’s village. Finally we arrived at the lobby of the Hotel Annapolis, along with what seemed to be thousands of other school students. Monday night most of us attended a theatre party at Loew’s Capital Theatre, but some saw the Senators play the Tigers. The next day we saw the usual—Smithsonian Institute, F. B. I. Building, Bureau of Printing and Engraving and Pan American Building. We were conducted on tours to Washington’s Monument and Lincoln’s Memorial. Harry was on another of his fishing trips, but we were shown through the Whitehouse in grand style. During the free afternoon, a few of us went swimming, while others shopped, went back to the Smithsonian, or took a much needed rest! Everyone had a wonderful time at Glen Echo Amusement Park Tuesday evening. Just ask Florence and Voleta !!!!! Wednesday, our final day of “madness,” we visited Mt. Vernon, where the boys had a TERRIFIC time with cap pistols, the Capitol, Library of Congress, Supreme Court and the House of Representatives in session. At 5:30 p. m. everyone sadly boarded the train with but one thought in mind: to be rowdier on the way home than on the way down. A very tired group of juniors was met at the station by the school bus, which brought us home to “sleep off’ our wonderful, unforgettable trip.

Waldo Farris ... Mrs. Loomis .... Mrs. Farris ... The events of the play take place during the second orld ar on a hot ; ummer day in the Loomis home. As the play opens, Mrs. Farris and Mrs. Loomis are discussing the past, present and future of their children. Mrs. Loomis is the mother of two very attractive young ladies. The oldest, Beverly, about twenty, is working in one of the local industries; and Percy, seventeen, is still in high school. Mrs. Farris has a son, about eighteen, graduating from high school. He is thinking of joining the navy. Now the mothers would like very much to see aldo and Beverly married; however, Beverly is of a different opinion. She had met Lt. Fred Finley at the lake and they are getting pretty serious, but the family isn’t too well informed of this fact. Fred is a paratrooper. Now it so happens that there is a paratroop division training in the area. Out of a clear blue sky Beverly’s Fred makes a parachute landing right in the Loomis garden. When he enters the house to report his location to headcjuarters, he of course encounters Beverly. He tells her he is getting a seven-day leave in two days during which time they will be married, and. if they are married by midnight on his twenty-second birthday, he inherits fifty thousand dollars. Then Fred has to leave. Now in the meantime, Waldo has written Beverly an engagement note which everyone thinks she has seen although she hasn’t. Beverly tells her mother she is going to be married. Mrs. Loomis, knowing of the engagement note, thinks she has decided to marry Waldo. The mothers then begin to arrange for the wedding, but Beverly, while speaking with Waldo, discovers that he plans on marrying her and tells him of the arrangements she had made. This news didn’t make Waldo feel bad, for he wasn’t too sure he wanted to be married anyway. The marriage finally went off all right. Percy managed to get an engagement out of Waldo, and the mothers were at last satisfied. The junior class play, under the able supervision of Mr. Rabat, marked success.

The speech class studied a variety of subjects this year, as usual. In the fall they began the course by studying Conversation. Conversations were analyzed and al| the common faults of everyday conversation were discussed. Next they studied drama, the different periods up to the Modern. 1 hey also studied the art of dramatics, the rules of acting. After the fundamentals were learned, they began on their own one-act play, “Daughter of the Gods.’ The characters of the play were as follows: Mr. Star, Harlton Dunbar; Mrs. Star, Jeanette Woodring; Eve, Janice Barker; Bunny Davis, Diane Greis-inger; Helen Gray, Pat Thompson; Frank, Wayne Short; Sam Gray, Don Bechtal. They worked for about a month on this play, under the able supervision of Mrs. Johnson. Their first performance was given before the student body. The same evening it was given again before the P.-T.A. meeting. The play was well received by both audiences. While drama was fresh in their minds, everyone had a full period in which to give a play review. These reviews consisted of the best plays, such as THE BLUE BIRD, JUSTICE and THE DOLE’S HOUSE. All of the class enjoyed hearing these plays. Next on the schedule was debate. The proposition for debate was “Resolved: That the Atlantic Pact Nations Should Form a Federal Union.” During this period the students worked very hard getting this tough subject under their belts. The debate was given in class. After debate they enjoyed panel discussions on serious and also light subjects. Each member of the class had to be chairman of each type of topic.
