G U E S S W H O I A M by Jack Fettig I was born about 100 B. C. I was connected with the popular party and in favor with the people at large. I had a little fortune which I spent freely, buying votes and giving banquets and free shows. When I had spent most of my money, I concluded that if I wanted to keep on being popular I would have to make a military record and have an army to back me. After the First Triumvirate was formed, I had myself assigned as proconsul in Gaul. That gave me my army. In a few years I successfully established Roman authority in Gaul, introducing the Latin language, Roman customs, and Roman authority. I was accused of wanting to be the kingg but if I did, I did not take the crown. Who am I? HISTORICAL CHARACTERS l. Jerry Kelich . . . . . Pompey 2. Nancy Hayes , . Constantine 3. Beverly Fettig .

Julius Caesar LITTLE COMPANION OF JESUS Have you ever seen the little red light in the sanctuary? Or have you ever wondered what it is there for? If you have, I would like to tell you a little story. Once when Jesus was alone in the church, He began to get lonely, and wondered when someone would come to visit Him. Our Lord waited and waited, but still nobody came to pay Him a visit or thank Him for all He had done for mankind. Many hours passed and still the church was empty. Suddenly Our Lord noticed a little glimmering flame. It twinkled so much it looked as if it were talking to Jesus, This is what it seemed to say, 'Dear Jesus, I I love you and I would like to remain with you always. I will stay with you and talk with you when nobody else is here, except You and me, dear Jesus. May I stay with Youf' Our Lord answered, 'Yes, Little Red Light, you may stay with me Until the end of the world. And until the end of the world you shall be called 'Little Companion of Jesus' U, ' Sharon Glotzbach-'53

G U E S S W H O I A M by Maurice Parr I began my career at the age of fourteen as the chief of a small tribe, and soon displayed the marked military talent which made me one of the greatest conquerors in history. Claiming a divine call, I so inspired my soldiers that they willingly follow- ed my to battle. The most importamt episode in my career was the conquest of Morthern China. After a series of lengthy campaigns Egkin, the capitol, was taken. Turkestan was next invaded. o am I? by Janet Curran I was born in Rotterdam, Holland in the year 1466 and lived till 1556. I was the first free intermational European scholar to live solely for learning. From my boyhood, I devoted myself to ancient language. I became a priest in a monastic brotherhood, At twenty-eight I became secretary to a bishop, who allowed me to continue my studies in Paris. An English friend also helped me when I began to study Greek. Who am I? by John Curran When Edward the confessor died I declared that I should be elected King of England. However when Harold a brave Saxon was was elected to the throne instead of me I came across the English Channel to invade England. Harold hastened to meet me and a great battle was fought. Harold was killed and I had myself elected and crowned as king. Before long I made myself master of all Eng- land. 'I established a new kind of feudal system and took a great census of all the people and property in England and entered them in a book called the 'Dormsday Book'. I later called together all the landholders and made them swear allegiance directly to me as the center of authority. Who am I? by Larry Stine I was Pipp1n's son and the greatest character of the Middle agesg my people were German. I was aware that my people knew very little. I wanted them to be educated so I established schools, monasteries and cathedrals. I organized schools for the training of young men for the churchg Much of my reign was spent in warg I conquered the Saxons east of the Rhine, and made them accept Chr- istianityg I also conquered the Lombards, I did all this fighting to spread peace and extend Christianity. On Christmas day in the year 800, I knelt in St. Peters in Rome where the Pope placed a crown on my head and proclaimed me W Emperor of the Romans,' Who am I?
