Sefzior lay THE DUMB WIFE Once again the A Class has come through with a smash hit, this time in the torm ct The Dumb Wife which had once betore been produced in Southern. A hilarious tarce which proved that the World, at least our little part ot it, has not forgotten how to laugh. Danny lsaacman, Solomon Wugal'ter, Tony Mammarella, Louis Miller, Thomas Serpico, and Robert Long were among the A Class members who made up the star-studded cast. Miss Miriam Halpern, Miss Antoinetta De Spaldo, and Miss Gloria Pregetti, three ot our lovely neighbors brightened the cast no end with their emoting. Miss Halpern trod the boards in the lead- role ot Catherine while Mr. Mammarella was her co-star. The entire crew deserves a great deal ot credit. Special orchids go to Mr. Elliot Codes for his brilliant direction ot the play. While the play was a great hit back in l928 when it was tirst given, the present cast and crew have done every bit of living up to the standard set tor them, way back then. Cur heartiest congratulations and our thanks for having given us something we will long remember. 62

Trip The whole evening was staring us in the face . . . Free to do as we wished most of the boys went to a show procuring rows A, B, C. center aisle. The manager wouldn't allow them to get any closer . . . Some other elite seniors went strolling. The dynamic Mr. Giletto looked like the real McCoy with that Brier between his lips. Bob Ayella, photographer for the News didn't look bad either . . . About l2 P. M. the town shut down and it was back to the lobby, for as long as they kept it lit. About 2 o'clock or so they dropped us a slight hint. They began to close the lights . . . They wouldn't sell any candles either, so it's up to our rooms, and Yowie! lO lads on and around my bed playing cards. Two-thirty the hotel detectives began to make their rounds, telling everyone not to snore too loudly . . . Seven-thirty, breakfast! Come and get it, ii you can . , . Fruit luice, Wheaties, Pancakes and Coffee, a breakfast of Champions. Into the bus, without fuss, away to the Washington Monument and up those 555 feet. We didn't mind the feet, but our ear drums, buzz, buzz, buzz. The old physics law certainly caught it that day. Back to the heart of the city and into the museums, to see what makes us tick. Mr. Rickards was the side show, with a handkerchief trick. He used someone else's handkerchief of course, The Pan American Building with its fountain and gold fish. We saw the 3 little fishes and poor little guppie asking his ma why poppy Ian away. Time to Dine. Lunch Time Back to the hotel for Phila. Clam Chowder leading the menu. Most of us later went to the Franciscan Monastery, whereas, the more athletic minded went to Griffiths Stadium, to root the A's on to victory. They had the opportunity to talk to the 'Grand Old Man', Connie Mack. Smith, Panzano, Berardi, Scutella, Neborak, Long, Di Paola were among the lucky fellows. The boys in Rip's bus had a fine time, too. Mr. Cades gave us the pleasure of his presence. Rip said he had to be initiated, so paddled he was, as he ran down the aisle. Back to the New Colonial and dinner. Southern Fried Chicken headed the menu, with string beans as the vegetable. Another night, but this was different! Four bits and zoom, we were driven to their Willow Grove. The park was chuck full of excitement! There were all of 5 different amusements! I-fo hum, right up to bed, half dead from being on the go, rather from being on the shootethe-shoots. The Finale So Long-But NOT GOOD-BYE Up at 7 thirty frush to breakfast! Back to our rooms grab the packed bag, tno not Margie, Packard? and away from the hotel for the last time! . . . Next big item was Dinner on the Diner. The only resemblance to our diner and the Chattanooga Choo Choo's is, both diners had wheels. Buckey DiSimmone and Lou Bonnaventura entertained with a song and dance . . . Finestein and Wasserman gave us Popper we gotta fnove up-town, with Mr. Micocci coming in on the Eh, ha, eh ha, part. 9 P. M. and all overayes, even the shouting! To you, lUth and llth graders, don't miss taking the trip with your class! Miss that extra special and malted at the Inn every day for a term or so but, don't miss the trip! Sl 'i 1. . V .
