George N. Pratt `53 writes, “I have had a month of nostalgia. First, I learned in the last
issue that a roommate of mine, Gene Kenniger, passed away. Second, I saw a picture of
Don Augustine, and he and I have about the same amount of hair. In the photo, I am on
the right, and Ron Schmoller `53 is on the left. We had lunch this past week and tried to
remember the early 50s at Wayland. Ron has Alzheimer’s, but he still has pretty good
recall. We laughed about Club Henry, Don ‘Bebop’ Walther, Ron ‘the Hog’ Hoglund, the
Roundy musical shows, and the ever present Mr. Tucker. We played football together (not
too successfully), but we think we remember it was fun. Lastly, my wife and I attended a
musical show with the big bands doing ‘Sing Sing Sing,’ ‘Somethin’s Gotta Give,’ and ‘One
for My Baby.’ We have such fond memories of the Junior Proms and our infamous five
minute period before Mr. T. rang the bell. Got to run, I think I heard a bell ring.”
