Seniors Win First Place At Hootenanny To raise money to defray some of its “Operating Expenses Ihe STUDENT COUN- CIL sponsored a HOOTENANNY in January. The response was enthusiastic. ADELE SCAFURO was EMCEE for the affair, and characteristically perfectly at ease in the role. There were some last minute changes in the program, but ADELE handled them as if they were routine. To be certain that the JUDGES would not be swayed by “class loyalties” they were chosen from those Faculty Members who arc not Class Advisers. The Seniors were awarded first place. In the picture at the right. B. JURGENSEN. C. JONES and L. VON OEHSEN are singing Winchester Cathedral. Other Se- niors who performed were D. CHUDY. M. L. GORMLEY. E. BECKETT and E. CULLIGAN. who played guitars and sang, and M S. GLESPEN. M BELL. C. POPE. M. RUGGIERO. E. FORD. E. PEREIRA. R. FEENEY. C. MERZ. P REHM. A. CHISHOLM. P PRIAL. J ABBADESSA. E. DOHENY and L. NELLIGAN who sang. One of the reasons for their “First Place” was certainly the fact that so many Seniors participated. For their final number the Seniors chose a medley of southern folk songs. Both Senior Classes were well represented, in the group with blackened faces who sang and danced, and in the group that sat at one side and sang with them. 60

For most of us. one of the surprises of the afternoon was the playing of M. OTOOLE at the DRUMS and B BLAIR on the ELECTRIC GUITAR Few of us will worry again about music for a DANCE. We’ll use our Home Talent ! As their Class Song, the JUNIORS chose UP. UP. AMERICA and. considering the short time they had had to prepare, theirs was a smooth and finished production, with a message for those who had already seen and heard other groups sing these songs, as well as those who were seeing and hearing them for the first time. Above are. standing -M. GUERRERO, D BOYELL. and L. MAZA; with her guitar. V. LOVATON. They arc singing IIn Pedacito de Cielo. ” “OVER THERE” was the theme of the Sophomore Class Song.
