Let's start off with a kindergarten play that took place in 1946!







The Granville Avenue Kindergarten put on the play "Spring Awakening" in 1946. In the top row you can see Bob Somers, Wayne Stetson, Jack Cohen, Charlie Varallo & Al Glenn. In the next row there is Sue Nordheim with Ronnie Glenn on the far right. The next row features Jane Gray, Dale Giberson, Carolyn Blankfield, Linellen Charlton, Nancy Feyl. Mary Knapp & Carole Mottola. Vic Stickel & Sue Auchter are in the picture, too. In the front row we have Jane Riddle. Can anyone identify the others?

The Oriental Guy says, "Das not wight! Dere someting velly wong here! Last week you give me $72 --- but dis week you only giff me $62. Dat velly wong! Why you do dat?"

The teller said, "Fluctuations."

The Asian man shouts, "Then Fluc you white guys, too!"
