FRANKLIN STAGES EXTBAVAEANZA For the first time in the history of Franklin High, its students, under the direction of Mr. Fox, produced an elaborate musical revue entitled iiAmerica Sings? The performance given by our boys was of a truly professional calibre. People from all walks of life and from every section of the city who witnessed the show marvelled at the fine acting, singing and playing of the entire cast. iiAmerica Singsi, depicted in drama and song some of the most significant episodes in the history of the United States. Appropriate costumes and dress contributed to the background of the production. Charles Taylor did a remarkable job as the Wanderer. His singing, acting and dialogue held the audience spellbound. Other seniors who participated were Ed Wolfe, whose trumpet playing thrilled the on-lookers; George Schley, who starred as a doctor in a dramatic role; David Silver as Benjamin Franklin; William Murray with his golden voice; Guernsey Hollis as Abe Lincoln, and Dick Hawkins, who entertained with his dancing. One of the highlights of the performance was a New Orleans scene featuring Ed Wolfe, Howard Candie, James Garrison, John Drake. Rudolph Jones and Ben Proctor.
