Do you remember: Circa 1963
Presented at the Senior Luncheon by John Coyne and Mona Dawn Vreuls (Edwards)
Man: That was the best dinner we’ve had in weeks. I don’t know where you keep getting these ideas for dinner.
Woman: I get them from the newspapers!
Man:(Opening Newspaper) Well, I wonder what’s new in the world today. Ya know, ever since they elected a woman President, what’s her name….Pat….Myers….OH, didn’t she graduate with us?
Woman: Gee, that name sounds a bit familiar. Let’s look it up in the yearbook. I always keep it handy just for moments like this.
MMMMM YYYYYY EEEE Myers…Yes, here she is. Oh my, doesn’t she look nice?
Man: Let me look at that a moment….(Bends over and complains of rheumatism) (Woman runs over and whallops him on the back) Mother please, I’d rather do it myself!!!
Ah,….1.9.6.2….that was the year we did so well in sports too. Remember we won the baseball championship?
Woman: And that is the year we took public league football championship. What was the name of that school….oh ya, Lane…6-0!
Man: And here is a picture of the homecoming. Oh look! Here’s a picture of Elaine Corbitt and her court. My…isn’t she pretty?
Woman: Yes, she does look nice doesn’t she? Well let’s see who else is in here. Oh my look at the hairdo’s! Aren’t they wild?
Man: And remember when they wore their skirts up past their knees?
Woman: And here’s something about a poster party! Something about twisting. Pa…Do you remember what twisting was?
Man: Oh ya. Don’t you remember? (Stand up and twist) You move your arms one way and your knees the other! (Sits down and complains about pains) That was my favorite dance. Don’t you remember, at the poster parties, I was the best twister in the whole class.
Woman: Yes dear, I remember!
Man: Too bad they didn’t keep that dance going. These kids today don’t know what they are missing!
Woman: Oh and here are the rest of the class officers. There’s Paul Larson: Remember how popular he was, especially with the girls?
Man: And there’s Dave Hilgenberg. He was the guy who was always chasing after the girls.
Woman: And here’s Art Haidieke. He followed right in Dave’s footsteps!
Man: Remember the crazy things we did, like slave day? And the co-ed girls locker room?
Woman: Yes, and the victory parties and poster parties, and that beautiful rendition of my favorite song, MOON RIVER!
Man: I wonder what happened to the kids that graduated with us.
Woman: Last I heard, Tom Smith was head coach at the University of Southern Calif. And Elaine Corbitt was the head cheerleading coach there too!
Man: And Ron Bahr won the Nobel Peace Prize for developing that new rocket that takes only two hours to go from Mars to Venus!
Woman: And Rich Wackerlin was just appointed Head Justice of the Supreme Court
Man: Ya, who did he run against….Sam Papernak…that’s right!
Woman: Gee….our small class really has made it’s mark in the world. (Closing Book)
Man: Well with all these pleasant memories, I imagine we’ll both sleep well tonight!
Moooon River….plays in background….and off stage!
