The only two schools to attempt this style were VVilson and VVyomissing. Since this was the f1rst attempt of the Oregon plan for either school, there was no decision. The question for debate was Resolved: Every able-bodied male citizen in the United States should be required to have one year of full time military training, as a permanent policy, prior to attaining the present draft age. The afhrmative team, debating at Wilson, was composed of Ruth Auch- enbach, Tlse Pahl, and Robert Blanck. Dorothy McLoud, June Plowfield, and David Keiser presented the negative side of the question at VVyo- missing. Miss Zug, Mrs. Starke, and Mr. Iefferis capably coached the teams.

M ARY HAGY Under the capable direction of Mrs. Starke, the senior class presented Almost Eighteen on December Io. This play was excellently portrayed by a splendid cast. 43 lay! Troplzecy As the nrst strains of Auld Lang Syne drifted from the Waldorf-Astoria Ballroom, I re- alized that it was now January I, 1952. Ten years had elapsed since our graduation from high school. I was on my way to the debut of our class's famous orchestra leader, Jay Rice, and his swing band. jay traveled far and wide until he finally reached the top in swing Tonight the class of ,42 are his guests at this great debut on Times Square. Upon entering the huge, glorified ballroom, I lunged into Roscoe I-Iouser and his wife, the former Edith Mengel. Roscoe is a member of the U. S. Air Force, while Edith is a Red Cross Nurse. Both of them informed me that June Moyer and her partner, Bruce Rutter, a profes- sional dancing team, had helped Jay to arrange an impressive program of some of our classmates' talents. In addition, they told me that Earle Butz, Jr., was Jay's star clarinet player, while Clarence Barnett, soloist of tonight's floor show, was the radio singer of the current Hit Parade. Sidling over to the nearest table as the Hoor show began with the playing of our own Alma Mater, I met Richard Beaver, an ensign in the U. S. Navy. First, Bruce and June demonstrated the newest South American tango. This was followed by impersonations by Doris Rothermel, an actress at Hedgerow Theatre in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, the guests at my table were discussing world affairs. Among them were Lieu- tenant Jack Stevenson of the U. S. Army Intelligence Service, Sergeant Grant Boyer, and Corporal John Leber, who were relating some of their major adventures abroad. Rudy Benz was impressing us with his account of varied dangers he had encountered while taking a trip around the world as a news reporter. In fact, Rudy was covering Jay's debut for the New York Times tonight. Evelyn Adams, author of the current China Closet Mystery was enthused over Mark Reber's explanation of how to play table tennis backwards. Mark was a noted lecturer at Reading Senior High School. Since the next part of the program was devoted to popular swing music and dancing, I joined some of the dancers. Dean Alspach, my first partner, told me that he was a civil en- gineer helping to build the new Pan-American Canal through Mexico. Dean also told me that Wayne Wessner was an English teacher at Albright College, Wayiie Albright and William Dersch were members of the Merchant Marine, and Dorsen Berger was an as- tronomer at Wilsoii Conservatory. Suddenly a group of uniforms barged into my view. On further scrutiny, I recognized Arthur Staudt, Henry Schlegel, Adam Moyer, Richard Leininger, Martin Kalbach, Ken- neth Heist, James Heist and Robert Fields, all U. S. Army pilots. 44 just then, I caught a glimpse of three famous sportsmen. Seated not far away were Joseph Eckenroth, the St. Louis Cardinals' baseball coach, Oliver Kochel, Bucknell University's basketball coachg and Thomas Scalese, the New York Yankees, pitcher, who helped to win the current World Series. Meanwhile, the band had ceased to play and Berwin Hainley, an accordian music teacher, was rendering a selection., Indiana Teardropsf' on his accordiang Barney,' sang the lovely words. Among the babble of voices, I heard two speaking and joking in a foreign tongue. To my surprise, they were Mary Briner and Irene Johns, linguists and translaters for our own U. S. Government. During June Stitzman's tap dance, I met Martha Reinig and Betty Seiger, two excellent housewives to their respective husbands. Incidentally, Stitzie is a lawyer's secretary. After drinking some punch, I heard NVarren Kauffman, Donald Shurr, Elwood Speichcr and Ralph Stamm, all dairy farm owners, discussing some of their problems with Norman Reedy, manager of the St. Lawrence Dairy. Jane Russell, a professional skater in the Ice Capades, and Lillian Yergey, a girls, phy- sical education teacher at Kingston High School, were attempting to find the Ncurley black- haired waiter. joy Bingaman, Lois Blanck, and Ruth Kummer, prosperous bookkeepers, were in a far cor- ner having a tough time adding up the courses of their elaborate dinner. At last, I decided to look for Bonnie Pullis, as we both had a career in common-that of laboratory technician. I found Bonnie with Connie Boyles and Mary I-Iagyg both of whom were registered nurses at John Hopkins, Hospital in Philadelphia. Richard Kendall was their center of attraction. Dick, a radio operator, was discussing the latest method of television.. Leaving this group, I noticed live well-groomed young ladies with the most fashionable hair styles. They were Ruth Carles, Kathryn Hassler, Betty Jane Lutz, Doris Simmons, and Mildred Smith, all efficient workers in the f1eld of beauty culture. Charles Youse, a Buick salesman, was pointing out the advantages of the Buick to Donald Clouser, a core-maker at Dick Brothers in Readingg and Randell Berkenstock, Oscar Kendig and Henry Weriier, three machinists at the Middletown Airport. About a half-hour later, I saw Gloria Billinger and Charlotte Mohler, members of the New York Symphony Orchestra. Nearby were two other musicians: Fern Staller, a music su- pervisor at Wyoiiiissiiig High School and Roy Krick, a clarinet teacher at Witticl1's Music Store. A click of tongues brought me to a table where several typists were discussing their re- spective streamlined typewriters. These girls, Frances Sabol, Mary Louise Reiter, Mar- garet Reifsnyder, Jean Fleming, and Thelma Miller, thought -typing was a pleasure. 45 A short distance away were a group of secretaries discussing how to train a problem boss. They were Ruth Rowe, Hilda Smith, Ernestine Steffy, Ruth VVunsch, Fern VVhit- moyer and Pearl Whitnioyer. An air hostess' uniform could be seen in the distance. This, I found, was Gail Haupt, a T. W. A. air liner hostess. As the floor show progressed, Man-fred Zitzman demonstrated the newest method to bleach hair blonde. Manfred was a chemist in the DuPont Laboratories. Our aeronautical engineers, Russell Folk and Augustus Murray, were debating whether or not an artist can earn enough to live on. As I quickly turned to catch the words of the piece being played by the orchestra, I no- ticed another group of secretaries. They were taking down the song in shorthand. They were Thelma Himmelreich, Lois Keiser, Betty Kochel, Jean Price, Shirley Bowers, Jean Briner and Thelma Culp. Five other secretaries to famous movie actors were planning an effective dream castle for the future. Among them were Jane Fisher, Fern Rader, Lucia Haag, June Hahn, and Dorothy Hertzog. Lieutenants Ardelle Snook, Shirley Lease, and Ruth Yocom were demonstrating the cor'- rect application of the tourniquet to two forest rangers, Samuel Uhler and Forrest Kehres. Annamarie Janke, Evelyn Scheipe, and Sarah Spayd, sales clerks, were imitating some of their queer customers. Jeannette Killian, an art teacher at Kutztown State Teachers, College, Helen Snell, a kin- dergarten, teacher and Dorothy McLoud, a primary teacher, were elaborating on their pet problem pupils. Elwood Keener, driver of the winning racer at the Reading Fair, whizzed past me to join a friend, George Krick, truck driver for the Reading Eagle-Times. A Uwoiking goi1 at the Berkshire Knitting Mills, Mildred Lengel, was aiding Helen Miller, a dietitian, to prepare a menu for an invalid friend. Henry Lutz and John Kissin- ger were explaining the difference between mechanical engineering and electrical engineer- ing, their respective careers. Finally, I found my old chums Robert Hassel, a member of the U. S. Coast Guard, and Donald Moyer, a pattern-maker. Donald and Robert were doing well in their chosen professions. Our only librarian, Joyce Stauffer, was keeping an accurate account of all present from our class of 742, II3 students, the largest in VVilson High School's history at that time. A strain of music drifted to my ear as the clock chimed four. Qur party was coming to an end. Four glorious hours of memories had passed, but all of us firmly resolved to come together again nextyear when jay Rice's swing band was to play for the president of the United States of America.
