Plano High School - Silhouette Yearbook (Plano, IL)

PPGPI-IE SY As we sit absorbing the blended harmony of the year's achievements and performance, our thoughts wander, lost in our mind's struggle against the vagueness of the future. In our wandering we turn to the year 1958, just ten years after the commencement of the class of '48' of Plano comm- unity high school. I vision myself entering the Civic Opera House in Chicago with an old classmate of mine and whom should we meet! none other than Dick Sauer with his wife, the former Joan Naggs. Of course, you know Dick is editing and publishing his own sports newspaper, magazine, and theatre with the aid of his assistant manager Bill Stern. We stopped and chatted for a while until we heard the three minute call for curtain time. We then moved on through the lobby and into our box seat. As the lights dimmed, the faces in the box seat next to ours came to life in my vision as four of our old class- mates namely, the HB1g Fourn who went West a few years ago. Marc and Ginger, I've heard, are proprietors of the Elite Dress Shoppe in Arizona. This plan was blueprinted years ago during detasseling. Bette and Carole, the other half of this illustrious foursome, are engaged at M.G.M. as understudies to the associated crime writers, Hack and Bailey. Just a moment while I wipe my opera glasses. I am almost positive I saw little, timid Ray Kimmey surrounded by his harem of ladies. Ray is living on Wall Street these days, almost next to the Vanderbilt estate. It is rumored that he is receiving sums of money each week from important figures in the U.S. government for which he translates important documents for the Archives building. The show must go on. First comes the ballet and listen to the ladies scream! No, it's not Frankie! only Bobbie Bell! We should have known his popularity and skill ten years ago in Mrs. Williams dancing class would prove his real talent and now he is Civic's greatest ballet star. The orchestra changes its mood and tempo and I imag- ine the greatest sensation since Kate Smith, none other than our own Dorothy Erwin who has been singing Civic's soprano lead for the past five years. There seems to be a rumor on the winds that a more enthusiastic crowd was never seen than that which applauded for Dot at the pier just two months ago when she returned from her voyage where she sang for the king of Siberia.

A Reality in our m1nd's eye becomes so keen that we even witness the majestic closing of the first act and wind our way with the crowd to the lobby. Look! there's Johnny Dunne--in tails, mind you! fif only the class could see him nowl. Johnny is the newly elected president of Ford Garages, Inc. to which he gives all his time when he isn't visiting Pat's art studio. The lobby, for some strange reason, seems crowded with our old classmates tonight. Perhaps, after all, there is something in the business of concentration and mental telepathy. Joanne Olsen is here with her first high school crush, now her husband. It's really too bad she d1dn't marry before she broke all those hearts. Happy threesome! Barb Hughes is accompanying Liz Osbron and her hubby Dick this evening. Barb has combined professional wrestling and management of a restaruant for her own enjoyment and good business tactics.
