Vaudeville Acts Get Down To Business There's No Business Like Show Busi- ness, was the theme for this years Junior Vaudeville. Once again it was apparent that a lot of time effort, and emotion went into this theatrical production. To start off the show, some of Shortridge's own Devilettes performed a danceline to the Vaudeville's famous theme song. The first act continued the high quality of entertainment with A Neptune Interlude written by Edie Cassell and Dianna Maynard. lt was followed by The Last Remake of the Mummy's Curse, a comedy written by Mike Selby and Cyrus Behroozi which had the audience rolling on the floor in laughter. The third and final act was Homer's Odyssey written by Julia Wegner and Paul Galloway. Along with these three terrific casts, there were four intermission acts. Suzanna Mitchell sang, with a little help from her family, while Pat- rick Appleton daringly rode his six foot uni- cycle. Rhonda McNiel, Sarah Lobley and Kristin Johnson thrilled their viewers with stylish dancing. After the final curtain call a grand feeling of satisfaction filled those who attended and participated in this annual gala.

I-Iigh Class Acts Starring In Caleb HIDETARO SUZUKI, principle violinist and concert master of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra plays his violin with style that is studied around the nation. LES TAYLOR and his jazz band entertain Ridgers with a variety of tunes, Ridgers saw and heard proof that the ad' ministration really got their heads together to think of cultural activities to benefit the student, Starting in October, a series of audi- toriums was presented during 3rd period to the entire school. After several years of split auditoriurns which confused teachers, stu- dents, and schedules, the administration de- cided to have only one auditorium for all students. The result was studded with suc- cess. The first auditorium was a pep session for homecoming. In only 40 minutes, Ridgers had Caleb Mills Hall bursting with spirit, Next to hit the Ridge, on October 22, was Artist in Residence, Les Taylor. Students were showing signs of excitement even bee fore entering the auditorium as the smooth, jazzy tones of Les Taylor and band drifted into the hallways. Les Taylor, a native of Indpls., comes to Shortridge every Tuesday and Thursday to instruct all musicians inter- ested in jazz. His performance demanded a standing ovation. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra made their annual visit to the Ridge, bringing with them I-'licletaro Suzuki, a famed Japaf nese violinist. Directed by Kenneth Kiesler, ranging from a ballet for elephants by the symphony played a variety of rak to the soundtrack from Star Wars, illustrate the great versatility of the sympho-gil ny. Ridgers showed their respect and appref ciation for all who performed.
