Master of Ceremonies - Wasatch Academy Alumni Day - April 21, 1990 - Class of ‘40 Show




Class of 40 at their 50th
Reunion



It’s good to see a full house, a standing room only full house, because this show deserves a full house; it’s a great show and the price is right.

In keeping with my advertising background, I’ve got a commercial and a warning. All of the stars on this show are under contract to me. And while I hope you TV scouts, you movie directors and you theater producers in the audience can use their talents, I am their
agent and you must deal with me. I’ll be back in my office Wednesday in the Waldorf Towers.
That’s the Waldorf Towers, Fairview, Utah.

Now we want you to sit back, relax and enjoy this great show. To you members of the Wasatch Academy Association, you need not worry about assessments in the future to cover this show. There are no hidden costs. All members of the cast have signed liability waivers.  Even if we strain a vocal cord reaching for a note we haven’t hit in 50 years, pull an aged hamstring or fall off the stage, we will not sue. So enjoy.

The star of our show, also the producer, the director, the choreographer, is Afton Anderson Mann.

But her greatest achievement for this show has been as a talent scout, and her most astonishing find is a street musician from St. George, Roger Hansen. Roger, it is great to have you with us.

And now for the show.

I wouldn’t have told this story in 1940, but I’ve checked with Headmaster Loftin and he assures me that the students of 1990 can handle this. So I am going to tell you about my first sexual experience. It happened right across the street on the Alice corner.
It was late afternoon and I was just sitting there in my car waiting for something to happen.  I had borrowed the car from Steve Keuseff’s cousin.

 Some of you will remember the Keuseffs. Great Wasatchers. As I was sitting there Doctor Holman came by. Some of you may remember the Doctor.

More of you will remember Phyllis, Camille, and Leon Holman.




When Dr. Holman came up he said “Buddy, what you doing?” He called me Buddy.  And I said, “I’m waiting for something to happen.” He said, “My golly, you’re in luck, something has just happened. I’ve delivered a baby to the Olsens".

"Would you like to see the box babies come in?” I   said “Yup.” I was always very curious.  So he put down his black satchel, opened it and pointed to a small tin box. “That’s it,” he said, “The box babies come in.” I said “Yup.”

  I was talkative in those days.   He closed his satchel, picked it up and walked toward main street. I pedaled my kiddy car down the street where the Alice is now. And that was my first sexual experience. And they never got any better.

Photo of Eight Hamilton Grade Schoolers class of 1934







KATHY: With the help of my son in law I have statistically defined the eight ninety year olds from Hamilton’s grade school class of 1934.
  •      In the 2010 census 90 plus year olds made up a bit more than one half of one percent of the population (308 million to 1.5 million).   From another source, twenty percent (20%) of those born in 1922 lived to age 90.  At the time of their birth only about two percent (2%) were predicted to do so
  •      Statically Hamilton’s class of ’34 is at the National norm for their birth year of 1922 and each of them is a one in two hundred of our National population.
  •      And Kathy, I notice that most of us in the photo are smiling.  Remembering back this photo taken three weeks after Roosevelt became President (3 March 1933) and he and Congress in those three week have made three two (3.2) beer legal. No more home brew!  As good as Joe Lund’s  home brew was, it was not as good as legal Becker’s Best.    


 If I’m contacted by a Public Health media type and asked “how” I’ll tell them good home brew.  But I’ll also be sure to let them know I’m speaking just for me.      Lee
