A Letter Written on Mar 12, 1955

March 12, 1955

Dear Pat,

Happy 1955 to you - belated but time has somehow slipped away. Anyway - hope it has proved to be - exams not as terrible as they had seemed, the remaining faculty strong enough to hold together your collegiate world for you, and the germs not strong enough to conquer you.

Did you know your Prof. Viereck lectured at Millersville sometime in January? Much to my annoyance I could not get there to hear him.

How were exams? Coming home for Spring vacation! Come around and report.

As for the plays - I am embarrassed to have to tell you that I was informed that plays not written by a student in school this year would not be accepted. To think that I put you to all that trouble, but I meant well, trying to be an agent for you.

On the high school dramatic front, life has been going apace. Mrs. McThing has returned to the Blue Blue Mountains after an successful visit with an exclusive few. Ginger now holds the stage. We are entering the third week of the "Time out for" her. [sic] Jimmy Chubb as her father is doing fine. Friday he completely exhausted himself reading for the first time his big scene - the disruption of the game Ginger & Linda Stallman played in. - He was so carried away by his role that he even delivered the stage directions with football fever.

Tuesday is our evening of one-acters. Have no idea who will present his for auditorium. The winner this year will also have the chance of playing before State Forensic Dramatic division.

Meantime Hansel and Gretel has been cast. Friend John has probably given you all the details of his pet project. He and Bob Fetrew [?] have great plans for staging the show. -

Commencement is shaping up to my satisfaction. The audience will get a capsule history of medicine which is nicely sugar coated.

Spring is on the way as all this indicates. The trees are coming to life and the hyacinths are showing color. Are you still using snow shoes or have you already brought out the English bike.

How is French by this time. all [sic] under control?

Thanks for sending the plays.

Sincerely,
The Teacher - [Margaretta Hallock]
