.E eUi5i0n .grwfaf ev! .gn Sf. gjclwarcl FIRST SHOWING TONIGHT by PHYLLIS FIELD Uune 9, l957l The gym of St. Edward High School was packed last night for the first public showing of the television set recently installed in St. Edward's. Among the notables present were the town's leading officials and many of the clergymen from the surrounding dioceses. The best known priest was the recently ordained Rev. MICHAEL MOONEY and his pastor, Msgr. William F. Boland. Sitting in front of me, I saw IOHN E. ROTUNDO, honorable Mayor of the thriving metropolis of Car- pentersville. Sitting next to him was KENNETH WEHRLE, Princi- pal of Elgin High School. lust entering the gym were Mr. and Mrs. RICHARD PAUL. fYou remember MARY CROTTY?l Mr. PAUL now owns all super markets in Elgin. With them was Mr. Paul's Assistant Manager, HOWARD REINERT. The house lights were presently dimmed. The first attraction of the evening was the last quarter of the game between the Chicago Bears and Elgin Eagles. In the starting line-up ap- peared TOM BONGARD, half back, and lOl-IN REINERT, center. Along the side line Coach SPRINKER was found giving some last minute instructions to his men. The ball was snapped to TOM. He went over for a touchdown and a decided victory for the Elgin Eagles. The screen dimmed and was focused on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House where Miss PHYLLIS KROEGER is making her debut in Carmen . In the band pit RICHARD KIRMSE skillfully led the Metropolitan orchestra through the difficult score. The scene again changed and we were at a fashionable night spot in down town Elgin, where we beheld in the lime light, IACOB DOWNS, the toast of night club society. A dancer crossed in front of the camera and our vision was momentarily blotted out by the face of our classmate, KLEA SEYLLER. The light of the club dimmed and out from the wings came that favorite danc- ing team, Carlotta and Romero, the former MARY CATHERINE SCHNELL and DONALD GILLIS, doing a superb rendition of the tango. As the camera took us through the crowds of night life we saw at one table a happy foursome of CAROL KAMP and HUGH MARSH with their better halves. At an adjoining table we found several R.N's, MARY ELLEN BRUCKER, GLADYS BURNELL, PAT HAVERKAMPP and HELEN ZELSDORF, celebrating their night off. Pgl8
