1st's Debby Gets TV Interview
‘nds Experience Hectic But Fun
by Debbie Rogers
eing interviewed for a T-V quiz
v is a truly amazing experience.
sensation it produces is made
n equal parts of fear, self con-
nce, curiosity, and pure greed.
fter months of watching my
rite show, NBC's Jeopardy,
y arly I decided I was the
ra ideal contestant. My
d has always tended to store
y odd bits of information, and
‘eopardy I saw a perfect way to
le this faculty pay off.
applied, and was told to come
Jew York for an interview.
ormally, such a trip, taken at
. own expense, would have been
of the question, but my aunt
uncle from the city happened
be visiting and volunteered to
: me home with them.
ily 31 I was on my way to New
k.
hat Monday my cousin and I
led into the big city. We arrived
the Jeopardy office about ten.
ather startled but polite recep-
ist greeted us and indicated a
n where we could wait.
er surprise was quite wunder-
dable; the interview was not
to start until 11. ’

we strolled down Fifth Avenue

rawn toward our fate like lem-
gs to the sea, Bets and I soon
rned to the office. By this time
‘e were several other people
ing -- too many for my taste.
nxious to make a good appear-

bed my hair, and started to

sat next to the door, probably
wuse of a half-conscious desire
lee.
y the time I had finished the
phe name-age-occupation form
gained enough’ courage to
srve my fellow applicants. Be-
Ame two middle aged ladies
Ro as though they had
wn each other for years. One
from Ohio, the other from Del-
re; they had just met.
irectly in front of me sat a per-
ly gorgeous masculine specimen,
plete with broad shoulders, rich
e, and an amazing red beard.
earby sat a girl who looked to
{bout my age. She was nervously
fing a new-looking wedding
uddenly aware of the fact that
| young man I was observing was
ting back, I bent my gaze to the
cial contract in front of me. I
i quietly reading it when one
ise made me freeze.
“All contestants under 21 must
have their parents sign this form,”
After several mental flip flops,
such as thinking of falsifying my
age or having my cousin pose as
my mother, I decided that if neces-
sary my uncle would take my. fa-
ther’s place. After all, one Rogers
is pretty much like another, right?
Composing myself, I beamed into
the Polaroid camera another ex-
ecutive type was Trusting J into my
face.
When al] the pictures were taken
and all the forms filled, the actual
testing began. Following the format
of the program, the men flashed
cards at us bearing a category and
an answer. We were given 15 sec-
onds to write a question.
By this time I was so keyed up
I was sure not one fact would come
into my head, but the first answer
melted the ice from my brain and
got me functioning again.
“He manages the Yankees.” What
a pathetically easy answer for an
old Yankee lover like me!I resisted
the impulse to put down all three
past Yankee skippers and confined
myself to naming the present one.
And so it went through 36 an-
swers, 36 ‘questions. Not once did
they repeat a category. I hadn't
realized there were 36 categories,
but there they were. hf
Naturally, T didn’t know all of
them. No one, we were informed,
had ever made a perfect score on
the test. I skipped three, mistakenly
answered several others.
An oral test followed the written
one. The interviewer gave an an-
swer, then asked all of us to make
up a question. The purpose was to
test our voices and our mental
reflexes.
For the first answer, Sports:
squash, routine questions came back
concerning racquets and balls. My
own question, “What do tennis
players play in the wintertime?”
brought laughs from both sides of
the desk.
I rather liked it myself.
When the oral test was over the
men asked each of us questions
about ourselves. Al the great beard-
ed one in front of me, turned out
to be a snake hunter. Arthur, be-
side him, was French Canadian.
Molly, the girl close to my age, is
a student at Cornell.
When it was my turn I spent
most of my time trying to explain
the whereabouts of Shavertown in
relation to Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes
Barre in relation to New. York.
Frustrating.
By 12:00 it was over and all nine
of us left the interview room as
loose as we had been tense one
short hour before. Molly and I
walked down the street together,
exchanging coments about Syra-
cuse and Cornell, promising to look
each other up during the school
year.
Behind us, two men bent over
our test sheets, forms, and their
own notes, deciding which to re-
ject, which to recommend.

McMILLAN REUNION
Twelfth annual McMillan Reunion
was held at Dunlap’s Grove, Me-
hootpany, on July 18, with a total
of 96 members present.
Business meeting was conducted
by Bill McMillan. Mrs. Allan Nichols,
secretary, read the minutes of last
year's meeting.
Births recorded: a son Glenn,
and Mrs.
Robert Gunnis, and a girl Lynn
Renee, October 12,) 1964. Mr. and
Mrs. William Gunnis also recorded
a boy, William Jr., July 22, 1963,
and girl, Cheryl Ann, April 20, 1965.

Nov. 25, 1964; Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Condon, Robert David, Dec. 21,
1964; also a boy to Mr. and Mrs.
John Newhart.
Marriages recorded: William E.
McMillan to Janice Getty, Oct. 17,
1964; Lorraine Gunnis to Robert
Ras, April 25, 1964.
One death recorded, Mrs. Mar-
garet Rudolph, Los Angeles, Calif.
Gifts were presented to: Mrs.
Alma Minor, oldest woman present;
Jacob Minor, oldest man present;
Cheryl Ann Gunnis, youngest baby;
Lorraine and Bob Ras, youngest
married; Mr. and Mrs. Bill Gunnis,
Massachusetts, travelled farthest
distance. !
Same officers were elected to
serve another two years. Next
year’s reunion will be the third
Sunday in July, the same place.
. I left New York without knowing !
how I fared. Wilkes-Barre, it seems,
is close enough to New York for
them to put me on the available
list for up to six months before
calling me.
So, I may turn up on your TV
screen some time soon. Don’t watch
for me, though, because chances
are 20 to 1 I didn’t make it.
Instead, look for a red-bearded
snake hunter. I know he made it.
Such a beard and such a voice
shouldn’t be wasted on snakes; they
should belong to the nation!
