All High Revue Was Big Success ( ' e 'tV'e e .. (e „ v»v w .o9° Professor Snodgrass, an expert on the art of propos- ing, was helped by actors to get her point across. Something new was added this year at White River High School. A Comedy Revue in the best vaudeville tradition replaced the traditional One-Act Plays. A Young Man Grows Up was presented to the public January 30, 1957 by the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes. Directors for the event were Mrs. Borgstrom and Mrs. Rich. Told in skit and song, A Young Man Grows Up deals with the adventures and misadventures of our hero, Johnny from the time he was a pint sized problem on his Father's knee to the time when he was bounding his pint sized prob- lems on his own knee. The highlight of the evening was the Miss Universe Contest starring the football team. A large and very enthusiastic audience was ample proof that this innovation was a tremendous success. Much credit is due to the many people who contribued so much to its success. There was a time when his daughter was a contestant in the Miss Universe contest.

W. R. Students Presented “Books and Crooks” Members of the cast, Books and Crooks, were: Gene Robertson, Bill Benbrook, Patty Kosko, Jeanne Hatch, Dick Roney, Ray Bernadelli, Dennis Pariari, Kathy Tschumperlin, Denny Wakkuri, Bonny Bagnall, and Esther Knapp. What would happen if a bank robber locked the school principal in a closet and impersonated him? The ans- wer to this question was found in the All School Play, Books and Crooks. The play, directed by Mr. Morelli and Mrs. Rich, takes place in Principal Henly's office at Alexander High School. Things start happening when the bank across the street is held up and the crooks, played by Ray Bernadelli and Dick Roney, hide out in the school. One of them discovers he is a dead ringer for the principal and this impersonation causes Miss Hamilton, the secretary, played by Jeanne Hatch, to think she's losing her mind. Before the truth comes out she's certain of it. Adding to the fun and subtracting from the orderly routine of school are Lindy (Patty Kosko); Larry, her boy- friend (Bill Benbrook); Gerard, who has a talent for writing poetry (Dennis Pariari); Goody, Gerard's girl (Kathy Tschum- perlin); P. Oliver Burkholder, the bank president (Denny Wakkuri); Lieutenant Shaw (Gene Robertson); and two irate mothers, Mrs. Gunklock (Esther Knapp), and Mrs. Blickle (Bonny Bagnall). It looks like lindy and Goody have a good time entertaining their boyfriends during their office period. But Mr. Henly, you've already taken your medicine! 23
