.MQA-6gAfin9 fke Lights! Camera! Action! and on with the Grand Finale of the Big Broadcast of 1944. It is The Night, and the stars of the show are clad in mortar boards and gowns, the traditional garb of Dyer graduates, for their last night stand. Preparing our broadcasts was naturally the object of our four- year booking-preparing each day's episode and presenting it in our best form, But there was all our ad lib, too. Yes, it all flashes through our minds. It's only a short way down the aisle to receive what represents the goal of these four years, but in that short time we- Remember our Freshman year? We laugh about it now, how scared we were. We didn't know the technicians nor their respective sound stages, one from the other. And then we had the good for- tune to learn that the pretty blond wasn't just another Senior girl, but our sponsor, Miss Louise Rich. When our cast had its first conference, each embarrassed Freshman arose and introduced himself so that everyone could have at least a vague idea for whom he was voting. flt wasn't till weeks later that we learned what Clarence Kuhn's name really was because Kuhnie still lisped tho bad!!l Dean Sweet, Sally Rasheta, Bill Adams, and Iim Hilbrich were elected to play the leads. At the same con- ference we chose green and gold for our class colors, the carnation for our class flower, and our motto, Forward Forever . Even as Freshmen, all was not seriousness at the Big Broadcasting Sta- tion. We had a skating party, a Christmas party, a Valentine party, and a Hallowe'en party, not to mention our study halls. Off the set, the biggest event was probably our trip to Michigan City Park. Now Sophomores, We felt much superior to the Frosh, and even more so when we walked off with the Girls' Softball Championship. We chose Art Hoffman, President: Bill Adams, Vice President: and Arlie Lambert, Secretary-Treasurer. At the Iunior-Senior Carnival, we had the fortune-telling booth. It was supposed to be shift work, but something slipped and Arlie got left holding the bag, or rather the booth. This was the first year the lournalism Club, and the eligible ones of our class went along on the trip to the Windy City. This year, the Iunior Girls' Club was also organized, so that the stand-ins and extras could get better acquainted. At the Girls' Club party, where no men were allowed, the girls-really cut around, even Conga-ed in their stocking feet. The Latin Conference at East Chicago was not as boring as it might sound and offered a good time to all those who at- tended it and the tea dance afterward-and the movie during the afternoon session. Last, but by no means least, we remember the three class parties, the Hallowe'en and Valentine parties and the scav- enger hunt-Weiner roast late in the month of May. leepers! We nearly forgot our Silver Skillet skit in the 1942 Plum Creek Revue, But no! We couldn't forget how our charming chorus girls f?l rolled 'em in the aisles. However, the real activity in the climb to stardom began in our third act. As was the usual pro- cedure, officers were elected. Bill Adams was President: Art Hoffman, Vice President: Dean Sweet, Secretary: and Iim Hilbrich, Treasurer. With the prom and banquet before us, we became quite mer- cenary and selling candy was the first of our many projects. Then we had a party--'nuff said. On November 18, we, in partnership with the Seniors, had a carnival. No one regretted this merger, be- cause this was the most successful carnival in studio history. We Iuniors were honored to have our candidates, Shirley Nielsen and Dean Sweet, crowned Carnival Queen and King. By this time, many coveted positions of the network were held by us, the understudies . Fran Lange was yell leader: Bohney, Sweet, Adams, Kuhn, Hoffman, Hilbrich, and Dumbsky were prominent in sports: Protsman, Adams, Neilsen, and Burton took part in the publication of the studio newspaper. Our rings and sweaters, ordered in October, arrived in time for the juke box dance in February. Still mercenary, we gave a card party and dance in February. Meanwhile, big plans were under way for the Iunior-Senior Banquet and Spring Prom. We treated the stars and sound effects to steak and chicken at Teibels'. From our class, Adams gave the Welcome and Art Hoff- man and Doris Burton did the vocal honors. The Senior Class Prophecy, written by Protsman and Nielsen, and the Senior Class Will, by Seehausen and O'Dea, were read. When the time came, we felt that our money-making efforts were richly rewarded because our Prom was considered one of the best ever given-except the punch-Ugh! Iohnny Kay's orchestra was solid and we all had a grand time.
