Tryouts Held For Senior Class Play Carl Newhouse; Detectives, Gordon New- house, and Jacob Brooke. Every remaining member of the Sr. Class had duties and work on the poster, ticket, program or backstage committees. The play was directed by Miss Janet Huebner, Senior Class Advisor. V A A After finishing our tour through the entire studio, we went to the N Choke and Die , a swanky night club, for supper. When we came in the door the head waiter greeted us. There standing tall, daik, and handsome was another classmate, Joe Berger. He led us to a table and called on a waiter to take our order. I looked up to discover that the waiter was none other than Benny Verbeten. After giving him our orders, we settled down to waiting for them. I looked around and was very much astonished to see Judy Stephan and Ronny Buechler seated at a table nearby. I called to them, and they oame over and talked for some time. Ronny said Judy and he were business partners—they owned the Sit and Sip Bar . She said business was quite good for them. After Delores and I ate our supper we left the club. For an evening s entertainment we went to a movie at the Sraoozie Theater. There, Just above the door, surrounded by flickering lights, it read: The Buffalo Tail 1 , starring Buck Clancy, Fran Bungean, and Lloyd Meulemans. After we had decided to see our former schoolmates starring in a picture we went to buy our tickets. There sat, as ticket seller,——Beatrice Remmel. We bought our tickets and stepped inside the door. A gentlemen s voice said Tickets Please . I turned to see the face of Carl Newhouse. Carl said he was glad to see us again and that his wife, Dorothy B. would like to see someone from her own home town again. He then called to the ushers, only for us to discover two more of our ex-classmates Gene Broeren and Roger Van Eperen. They said they enjoyed their work very much, especially Roger. This night life permitted him sleeping during the day, which he loved. Gene led us down the aisle to show us two vacant seats. We saw the show through and enjoyed it very much. Pat Clancy, of course, was the hero, Lloyd was the villain, and Fran, well, she just tagged along. Upon leaving, we met Myrtle Huntington in the lobby. She said she often spends evenings there, since her husband, who is oaptain of the Police Dept, works nights. We left the theater and hailed a cab because Delores had given Bernie the night off. Guess who was the driver—that s right, the rear¬ view mirror told ua it was Gerald Gerritsi We returned to the apartment, and though Delores begged me to stay, I had to refuse. I wanted to get home in time to see the wedding of Donna Reschke and Normy S., which was to take place the following day, I left California that afternoon very pleased that I could account for all of my old classmates. I was especially pleased that I, Mildred Nelessen, as well as the others, were being of some use to society, as my Job was a Bookkeeping Professor at Wrlghtstown University, in Wrights town, Wisconsin.
