78-79 Comedy Enjoyed by Large Crowds “Jenny Kissed Me,” the spring play, was a comedy about what happened when a teenage girl was suddenly thrust into the household of an eccentric old parish priest. Jenny (Letti Torrens), an orphan, was thrust upon Father Moynihan (Jay Rohman) by the priest’s aging, single housekeeper Mae Deazy (Linda Little). Michael Saunders (Craig Gottschalk), a parochial school inspector, fell in love with Jenny, but Father Moynihan had plans to marry Jenny to his gardener, college student Owen Parkside (George Schinker). This kept Michael from confessing his true feelings to Jenny. Owen romanced Jenny, but backed out when he realized the Father’s intentions, providing for a happy ending and the marriage of Michael and Jenny. Other characters were Miss Stearns (Kathy Swartz), Sister Mary (Gloria Wharff), Shirley Tirabossi (Theresa Shaw), Jo (Joni Loerch), Mary (Maggie Rosengren), Harry (Launa Torrens), Jane (Paula Nozicka), and Mr. Parkside (Casey Hengen) and Priscilla (Joan Trutna). The play was directed by Mark Elwood, with assistance from Bev Hudson and Mary Hoppe.

Superiors, Colorado Make Exciting Year The band ended their year by participating in the Festival of the Rockies held in Colorado, competing in the concert band contest. Everyone left Wahoo Thursday evening, May 24 and arrived in Denver Friday morning to go on the “Walking tour of Denver . The band stayed at the “YMCA of the Rockies” in Estes Park. Saturday was an active day, with contest performance, and the Awards Banquet and Dance in the evening. Wahoo received a 24-rating and also a silver metal. This was the highest rating given to any band at the festival. Everyone spent Sunday at Elitchs Gardens Amusement Park and headed home Sunday night. The year was a good one not only because of the trip but because of the band’s success in receiving a superior rating in Pershing Marching Contest and District Concert Band Contest. A change made by director Bill Baumert was to get a graduation picture from each senior in band. These will all be put up together in the bandroom.
