Philip Spiess
Out of the Cupboard of Forgotten Yesterdays march these long-lost images from our 8th grade Latin project for Miss Ewald, The Oddity of Usless (1960):
"Let's see what's first on the agenda . . . Oh, yes! The Land of the Lotus Eaters . . . And away we go!"
[Philip Spiess.]
"You're always in my way!" "Whyy . . . !"
[Jerry Ochs, Jean Snapp, Philip Spiess, Lee Ellen Hamm, Robert St. John, Ann Thompson.]
"OO! I'd say that's about seventeen-K!" "OO! This is giving me a spasm!"
[Frank Honebrink, Dave Schneider, Bill Sinkford, Jonny Marks, Jerry Ochs, Ann Thompson (person under left table unidentified).]
"Yes, Useless -- they have eaten too many loco locusts." "Naaa -- I think Jimmy Hoffa was behind it!"
[Jonny Marks, Terry Hoffeld, Jerry Ochs, Philip Spiess, Robert St. John, Bill Sinkford, Ann Thompson (off right).]
"Don't you wish you could do that, Circus?"
[Rick Vogel, Terry Hoffeld, Philip Spiess, "Heidi" (Robert St. John's dachshund, under right table).]
"Like -- who are you, Dad, and what do you want?"
[Robert St. John, Dave Schneider, Philip Spiess, Jerry Ochs, Jonny Marks, Bill Sinkford, Jeff Rosen, Chuck Cole (?), Rick Vogel.]
"What a genius!" "I know I am, but let's go!"
[Jerry Ochs, Jonny Marks, unidentified, Frank Honebrink, Terry Hoffeld, Dave Schneider, Philip Spiess.]
"Oooo! Neat! Are you my long lost father, Useless?"
[Steve Berman, Philip Spiess.]
"So! Running around with other women, eh? I'll teach you!!"
[Philip Spiess, Lee Ellen Hamm, Jean Snapp (rest unidentified).]
[This is a tribute to the late Jonny Marks, who was largely the author of Useless, along with Jeffrey Rosen. Grauman Marks, Jonny's father, took the photographs. All secenes are in the Small Auditorium.]
