“
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. V r

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.
