‘Tve been wondering who'd pick it up first, you or Mrs. Hoover, It’s only 3 weeks over- due!” (Mrs. Ladd) “No madame, your daughter isn't here. But I notice on her over-night card that she’s signed out for Cricket Inn.” (Mrs. Lyons) “But this can’t be my card. I don’t even live here!” (Mrs. Hutchins) “Parker, let's see ... that goes under N for nut.” (Mrs. Pleasants) 11

OH, THE ENDLE SS DUTIES OF A HOUSEMOTHER! What is a housemother? a friend indeed. someone to talk to when there is a need. a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold. someone who seems to never grow old. a door keeper, bookkeeper, key keeper, friend, messenger, pharmacist, a hard cookie to bend. We love you, we need you — oh where to begin. For all those special things we thank you again. “Nobody, but nobody gets by this door after Midnight.” (Mrs. Harris) ‘Tve buzzed and buzzed but she doesn’t answer. Guess I'll have to tell Mr. Travolta she’s not here!” (Mrs. Hobbs) “Now I'll let you in, if you promise not to tell Miss Smith.” (Mrs. Overby) 10

SKIT NIGHT Alas, our night has arrived ... the student’s chance to portray their instructors. And anything is legal... well, almost anything. Skit Night is a yearly tradition at Watts which adds a hint of humor to that first week each Fall. We don our white uni- forms, caps, bifocals and clipboards and take our well-deserved authoritarian position. But, woe are we... the instructors, too, get a chance to portray the students ... and now we know how they see us... “Are we really that bad?” “Surely that didn’t happen.” Yes, Skit Night is our night ... a chance for laughter, a chance for memories, and a chance TO GET EVEN! Mrs. Runt quizzes another poor freshman on her patient’s 14 different drugs. Penny Hollowbrain gives Burt Reynolds’ private nurse a few pointers on professionalism. Florence gives the real rules of Watts while ignoring cue cards held by Miss Smith. Ms. Cool remains calm asa student In ects Vitamin K into her har 1d rather tl 1an the fie fant's thig 1. :
