The last of the Senior maids was Mary Ann Lehnig of Term Eight. She wore a gown of richly brocaded satin and carried white flowers. Her escort was Bill Sandidge. Next in the royal procession was the crown bearer, Richard Seim, a freshman. He was dressed as a court page in a green velvet suit. Then at last came the moment for which we had all waited. Our new Football Queen, Miss Doris Peche, came in on the arm of Gene Jabker. Doris wore a beautiful strapless gown of egg shell faille. The gown had a full skirt and hoop. She wore LI white satin train over her dress and carried a beautiful bouquet of American beauty roses. Her train was carried by Joyce Braun and Louise Fey, two freshmen girls. When Doris reached the stage, Betty stepped down from the throne and took her place next to her escort. Joe then placed the crown on Doris's head and she took her place on the throne. The court was now complete and the curtain closed. In a few moments the 'curtains parted and the second part of the program began. Ruth Meyer entertained the court with a toe dance accompanied by Jeanine Reifeiss. Then Ilona Kombrink charmed the audience by singing L'Amour Toujours L'Amour. She was accompanied by Marilyn Kalde. The program continued with a baton twirling exhibition by Virginia Schmidt. Next the Jolly Jills Girls Trio provided a different kind of entertainment. They sang a threefpart arrangement of the Hawaiian War Chant. The next number on the program was a song by Curt Troeger. Every Day is Ladies' Day With Me. He was accompanied by Ilona Kombrink. Sally Klopmeyer delighted the audience with her version of It's Magic. For the next number on the program Curt and Ilona blended their talents to sing 'LSympathy. A very clever tap dance was done by a group of the dancing girls. It was to the rhythm of Cleveland's cheers. The last portion of the entertainment was the original Queen's Men singing for the last time. They started by singing I Had a Dream Dear. Then as an encore they sang Let Me Call You Sweetheart, and L'Wedding Bellsf' The cheer leaders then closed the program by giving a few cheers and singing the Cleveland Loyalty Song.

if X igmffftfifgyf Wa, The musical comedy Good News was presented by Cleveland High School, November 18 and 19. Good News, written by Laurence Schwab and B. G. DeSylva, is based on college life and centers around the problems of the popular football player, Tom Marf lowe. Tait College is to play the most important game of the year but Tom must pass his astronomy exam before he can play. Without Tom, Tait's team doesn't stand a chance, so Pat Bingham, Tom's sophisticated girl friend, offers her cousin's help as she is an excellent student in astronomy. Tom has proposed to Pat many times but after working with her cousin, Connie, decides to ask Pat's release. Pat assumes as much and reminds Tom of his promise, insisting that if he plays and wins they will be married. Tom passes only because of Professor Kenyon's school spirit. He plays, Tait wins, and Pat, having a sudden change of heart, decides to release Tom from his promise so he's able to marry Connie. Sharing the honors for the male lead were joe Slyman, Thursday night, and Curt Troeger, Friday night. Both boys earned the enthusiastic receptions of the audiences. Jean Luehrmann played the demure Connie Lane perfectly, and her beautiful voice delighted everyone. The sophisticated Pat Bingham was expertly performed by joNell Vxfillhauck. Dottie Bower and Dale Mullaney, as Babe O'Day and Bobbie Randall, were outstanding in many hilarious scenes. Others in the cast included Bill Sandidge as Professor Kenyon, Al Ulsas as Pooch Kearney, Donna Hampel as Millie, Erwin Mayer as Beef Saunders, Lyle Eichborn and Phil Hasser as Bill Johnson, Richard Wiedman as Windy, Ted Euler as Slats, Richard King as jim, Keith 'Zaharia as George, and Pat Walling, Shirley Simmons and Janet Burns as the Cheer Leaders. The hit songs Good News, Varsity Drag and Lucky in Love were high points in the show. The dance numbers for Varsity Drag and other numbers were under the direction of Miss Vera Ulbricht who did an excellent job. To Miss Louise Mann, Production Manager, goes the credit for the wonderful chorus and solo work. The Assistant Production Ivlanager, Miss Margaret Boland, must receive praise for the fine work she did directing the dialogue. Mr. Vernon Barrett and the orchestra will long be remembered for thier creditable performance. The scenery was under the capable direction of Miss Knepper in Stagecraft. Miss Iwi. I. Mann deserves credit for the costumes and makefup. No show would be complete without the help of Mr. Harold Doxsee and the boys of Audio Visual. A vote of thanks must also be given to the Student Council, the Art classes, and the Orange and Blue for assisting in the production of 'LGood News, a most successful and commendable operetta. 27
