Homecoming

The annual Homecoming Dance for 1962 was another big event of the year for students, faculty, and alumni. Activities included a pep session, the game with Sullivan, and the dance following the game. It was a gala night!

Class of 1962 Holds Hawaiian Holiday

Flash! For the first time in history a State High class holds its reunion in Honolulu Hawaii. We take you there now for an on-the-scene report, after a word from our sponsor.

Kidd's Insurance Company insures everything from the throbbing thyroid to aching corn! Remember-you're in Kidd's hands with Kidd's Insurance.

Here's our on-the-scene reporter from Hawaii-Take it away Lon K.

I've just completed an interview with the honorable President of the Senior Class of 1962-John Allen Sanders, who has informed me of his many beautiful and romantic adventures in the life of a mortician. Oh, my, there goes the all-star Marty Dooley, dribbling a coconut in the sand. And there sits John Wright hopefully looking on--callouses and all.

As I look up the beach, I see Nancy Montgomery, well known artist sketching stunt driver, Tom Shaw, who is trying to set a world's speed record--in a go-cart that is. Oh, my heavens who's that? Why it's the first female mechanic, Elaine Creasey, running close behind the courageous driver. What's that she's carrying? Why, it's Tom's steering wheel!

If you'll excuse me, I'll get in the latest model car, the Bubble Top, designed by Joe Risemas and Gary Bagley. Thru the express consent of the President of the United States. Thomas Maurice Hadley, we have been given permission to use this car on our trip to downtown Honolulu. As we pass Miller's Fifth Avenue Dress Shoppe, Patti pauses and looks up from a muu muu she is designing. Just around the corner we see Sandy Wallace, who has recently received her degree in psychiatry, with her personal secretary, Lynne Bennett. After talking to Sandy, I have a juicy tidbit which you might be interested in. Jim Stephens, long lost actor, has a split personality. Half the time he thinks he's Freud and the rest of the time he thinks he's Abraham Lincoln.

We are now passing a lily pond. Lo and behold, there stands Jim Palmer realizing his lifelong ambition of being a Navy man, calmly sailing a boat built by Dick Reed.

Patty R. Roberts has just completed her ninth home since she was made Homemaker of Tomorrow.

Alferd Hamblen is seen roaming the streets, cup in hand because two days and ninety-nine deaths after graduation he was fired from his job as a pharmacist. My, my, look at that group of pretty young ladies. Why, isn't that Carolyn Holcomb, Jan Lewis, Joycelyn Myers, Helen Duncan and Mary Lou Leclerq, who are now partners in a secretarial firm on Fifth Avenue?

We interrupt this program to bring you a Special News Bulletin. Jack Tennis has returned to Cape Canaveral on a non-stop trip from earth to Pluto and back again.

And now a word from our alternate sponsor. Do you have sprained ankles, torn muscles and broken collarbones? Linda Cartwright is willing and ready to help anyone in this condition--when she is able.

Now back to the bubble top car with Lon K. We are now winding up our downtown tour of Honolulu by arriving on the scene of the Aloha Luau. There goes Dale Shipp, keeping in condition by chasing girls up and down the beach.

We wish to thank Bob Dewey, who has just brought us very refreshing drinks. It seems he never will get away from his job as a bartender.

As we walk around at the Luau, we see many groups talking over old times while they are being entertained with a trumpet solo by Pete Kessel.

In one group, Sharon Lemaire is showing pictures of her thirty-one children--She's a teacher, you know. Onlookers are: Bessie Jones, Christine Ringer, and Patricia C. Roberts. They are all members in that fantabulous, luxurious, money-making, romantic teaching profession.

We now see Dick Davis in the coconut tree sulking and he won't come down because no one wants to see his family living films. His loyal friends, Russell Barnard and Randy Allen are seen tossing him up some bananas. A portion of the never-to-be-forgotten Seabury Winos, Ron Dewey and Steve Voigt are now entertaining the class with a hula dance.

Sandy Robling can be seen passing out advertisements about her wonderful day nursery to JoAnn Broady Lawry, Jerri Austin Martin, and Judy Hughes.

Charles Robertson, a combination of Miedl and McCarthy, is trying to attract the attention of all the native girls by playing his bongos as loud as he can.

Barbara Williams and Jean Warner have just received contracts to replace Mrs. Caroline Kelso and Mrs. Ruth Turner at dear ole State High.

Nancy Walker and Liz Stanisz are partners in a beauty saloon--oops! I mean salon.

What's all the excitement? A fish has just bitten professional surfrider, Johnny Cummins' big toe! Dr. Tom Griffiths assisted by registered nurse, Barbara Wheat, will perform the delicate operation. We are sure it will keep him in stitches.

Many fond and sorrowful good-byes can now be heard as the Luau is about to end. Revere and Ivan Judd closes this wonderful class reunion as we see Dooley dribbling his coconut into the moonlight.

Good-night, ladies and gentlemen.
