PLAIN TALK
TIE OLD LADY GOES ON
HER WAY
BY ALFRED SEGAL

happened to be visiting our
Orthodox Jewish Home for the
Aged the Sunday morning the
old lady died there. It was an
exciting occasion among the
residents Of the home. like some
one of a family going away on a
long journey and the relatives
gathering to wish God-speed at
the railroad station.
The old ladies and gentlemen
had assembled at the downstairs
doorway to wait for the dead
lady to come down from her
room. There was no sorrowing
but rather eager whispering
about the old lady coming to her
good reward at last.
No protest was heard against
death who shortly would be COM
ing down the elevator with her
toward the undertaker's vehicle
that was waiting. Death was all
right and they were going to give
the old lady proper send-off.
Death was the expected visitor
they wait for hourly with becom-
ing resignation. Life had come to
be lived by the hour. No long
range plans, anymore, no hope
full tomorrows on the earth. The
hour might be over any time.
Old Mr.. A. was telling me:
Yes. he said. it was good enough
to be alive in this house and he
wasn't complaining to God about
anything. He was thankful to
have. in his old age. a schul
practically round the corner from
his room. The schul is a big room
In the house and he is there for
the prayers of the morning and
the evening. and thank God he
could still walk the few feet to
the holy altar.
But, he said, a man knows
when he is about through :.
What am on the earth for now
in my old, old age? To what use?
To eat food that might better go
to others who have long time
to live? To occupy a bed that
could better be used by some one
who is younger and still is at his
work and needs rest?"
tTheY heard the elevator door
opening and they all turned to
look. as if to greet death emery
ing with the old lady. The eleva-
tors passenger wasn't death this
time but one Of the nurses.)
MIR. A. said, 'You see, we
aren't afraid of death anymore.
How eagerly we all turned to
look at death coming on. the ele-
vator. We know death as a good
friend who gives us rest when we
are tired.
There was a long time when
we were all afraid Of death. We
were much younger then. There
was 50 much for US still to do.
Lots Of work. The children had
70 be brought up in the right
ways to go.
I'VE were afraid of death even
more on account of our children.
We spoke to God all night when
they were sick. We thought death
was a thief who had no business
in our house"

Class Play Reflects
Comedy At Its Best

Comedy at it's best was rampant
Monday and Tuesday evenings
when the senior class presented
its annual class play Desperate
Ambrose" in the high school audi
torirm. The cast of this hilarious,
fast moving three-act comedy was
we'll chosen and directed by Boyd
Martin, faculty director, and the
roles were excellently portrayed
by the student actors and actress
es whose dramatic talents were
outstandingly good.
Roland Blackburn, as Desperate
Ambrose, gave an especially fine
performance as did Henry Boeh-
den as the ever-tired, ambition
less Dan'l, and Sharon Brown as
the rootin' tootin' cowgirl, Beth,
whose western draWl and bomb
astic speeches drew many laughs
from the audience.
Roland Chapman, as Sheriff
Crandel, is to be commended for
his acting as we'll as his clear de-
livery lines. Edwin Campbell as
Hoot Owl Pete, and Lee Hetrick
as StinkWeed, teamed up with the
Sheriff contributed greatly to the
comedy situation.
Other creditable performances
were given by Lockwood Zeis as
Bert Miller, and by Joan Guggis-
berg and Gale Boss, as the Martin
sisters, who played their roles
with just the right amount of
feminine appeal as refined young
ladies caught up in the wild west
Whirl. Mary Jane Crohen as Posie
the ebony hued pursuer of Dan1
gave a fine performance. Grace
Frauhiger, as Mrs. Sprool, a lady
with a nose for news, and Sally
Petersen, as Lena, the tag-a-long
daughter, and Bob Brown as the
Judge, complete with judicial
robes and gun holster, rounded
out the cast in minor roles as well
portrayed
Alice Kirk was the student di-
rector and committee chairmen
who contributed to the behind
the-scenes success of the play
were Pat Sullivan, business man
ager; Lee Hetrick and Robert Szi
lagyi, stage managers; Shirley
Colston, property chairman; and
the makeup committee of Dolores
Duffy, Beverly Hoshal and Nancy
Valance.
