We had a most exciting
day at Warren Academy
last Friday. We had the
unique experience of having
a television and movie star
spend the day with us. Miss
Kathaleen Beller, the ac
tress who portrayed Mary
White in the "Mary White,
Mary White" television
special sponsored by IBM
was our guest. Miss Beller
was visiting Michael Lee.
our math teacher.
She was a lovely young
woman and a most down-to
earth one. Not at all what we
expected a well-known ac
tress to be She has just
finished a movie with
George C. Scott and Lau
rence Olivier. She told the
students about some of her
favorite actors and also the
way some of the scenes were
shot in the "Mary White"
Special.
Her visit was enjoyed by
t he younger students as well
as the older ones. She had
quite an autograph session.
Her visit will long be
remembered at Warren
Academy! We wish Katha
leen. or Carrie as she is
known, luck in her move and
television career. You can
bet that she has a big new
following in the students
from Warren Academy.

are almost upon us. Wednes
day we will have an
assembly program sponsor
ed by the seniors and Mrs.
