The Wi e 7001 The Class of '55 has already begun to make its mark at CV with a good showing in individual support of all activities. But best-remembered will be its group proiect, Soph Capers, an ambitious talent show given for the school March 19. Though the Sophs took a lot of good-natured kidding over their various postponements of the date, they finally put on a show that was worth waiting for. Carl Buck, Leonard Adams, and Ronald Davis, appearing as The String Walkers, made their guitars and their audience really respond to Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes and Steel Guitar Rag. Larry Lichty did a very effective pantomime of Johnny Ray in The Little White Cloud That Cried, weeping copiously as he mimicked the lachrymose crooner. Margit Chiriaco appeared in The Bum's Philosophy, a pantomime to the tune of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. The Sophettes - Phyllis Carter, Sandra Barton, Bea Lendrum, Marie Davidson, and Brucene Zimmerman - accompanied by Royann King, sang ,N Blue Moon. Why Don't You Believe Me and Too Young were sung fs by Philip Carrasco, with, Lydia Arias as accompanist. Gwendolyn Kerns played September Song as a saxophone solo. David Okerlund, Carl Buck, James Hagerty, and Dick Willard gave a string band M version of Singing in the Rain. A X Dances on the lively program were The Fast Shuffle by Armando ,f Lg Chavez, Ricky Torres, Margit Chiriaco, Eileen Heimark, Alex Sicre, and Gil Perez, a mambo by Margarita Castillo, and Midnight in Paris, a panto- I mime-dance by Philip Carrasco, Margaret McCallister, and Emmalene Smith. Seen in capers across the stage were Kathy Lee in red flannels and David Bollard, Eddie Thomas, and Walt Criner, who were boxed in. Walt also introduced the show, in addition to directing along with Larry Lichty and Donna Neher and technical directors Leon Nelson, Don Lee, and Bob Pixley. Art work was done by Donna Neher, Sylvia Vince, Pat Mclntosh, Jeannette Apodac, Eileen Heimark, Margit Chiriaco, and Julie Freeman. The applauding audience would not let the kids ring down the curtain but forced the string band to play them out of the auditorium. This ended PH. the Sophs' big noise for the year, but they had their class rings and ap- peared all organized and full of zip, ready for an active iunior year. PAGE
