1948: THANK YOU AUDREY HOMAN SPERLING

THESE GREAT PHOTOS FROM HHS ALUMNA AUDREY HOMAN SPERLING WERE BROUGHT TO ME AT OUR KUSER SCHOOL PRESENTATION AT KUSER MANSION ON TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 8. I SEE BETTE BEIGER FARMER IN THE UPPER RIGHT PHOTO ALONG WITH PAT BUSH. MY CLASS OF '51 CLASSMATE LEE BELARDINO IS ALSO IN THE CAST AND CAN BE SEEN IN THE CAST PHOTOS.

LIKE THE OPERETTA "SALLE," THESE PHOTOS ARE A TREASURE. I WILL TRY TO ENHANCE THE FULL LENGTH CAST PHOTOS, EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO BE SEGMENTED.

THANKS AUDREY!

1948 A FELLOW HORNET AND A HARTLEY AVENUE NEIGHBOR

VIC SUESSENGER (WITH AN "N" WAS OUR 119 HARTLEY AVENUE NEIGHBOR BACK IN THE 1940'S. VIC BROUGHT A NEW METHOD OF KILLING CHICKENS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE GLOVERS STRUNG THE CHICKENS UP ON THE CLOTHES LINE AND KILLED THEM. THE SLABICKIS USED THE AXE AND CHOPPING BLOCK. VIC SUSSENGER USED AN ICE PICK. I WON'T GO INTO THE GORY DETAILS ON ANY OF THOSE METHODS OF EXECUTION, BUT THAT WAS RURAL LIFE IN THE 1940'S.
