Color Rocketing into the spacious universe, the Senior Class of '46 presented the annual Color Night with the theme of a visit to the stratosphere. As the curtain rose, a belated idea for the show was hastily being sought by members of the Color Night committee, portrayed by Doreen Corson, Barbara Fingerhart, Jerry Hummel, Burton Low, June O'Keeffe, Betty Roe, Stefan Schwarz, Patsy Van Ronkel, and Bob Wolfe. The scene was interrupted for a moment by the HLadies of the Chorus. John Ausman, Chuck Coons, Jim Cornelius, Dick Davis, Bill Douglass, Dean Hanson, Ralph Hassel, Harris Katleman, Dick Kindelon, Merwin Koeppel, Jim Mears, Frank Morriss, Walt Murphy, Vic Palmieri, Chuck Perry, Dick Robbins, Phil Ryan, Conrad Schweitzer, Dick St. Johns, Chuck Weisstein, John Will, and Jim Wright participated in this stage crew dance. First stop was the planet Saturn, where the night club's master of ceremonies, Martin Schnitzer, welcomed the committee members. Harris Katleman and Merwin Koeppelis inter- pretations of Buck Rogers and the Intelligence Man were the comedy hits of this act. c'Under the Bunsen Burners -a melodrama with Bobbette Coldberg, Bob Herts, Rod Loeb, Joyce Roodberg, Manya Shayon, and Lester Wertheimer-and the Robotettes,'- Willie Hicks, Regina Hinds, June Johnson, Eleanor Knecht, Marion Major, Sue Robinson, Betty Spring- meyer, and Betty Stauffer in a luminous dance number-also provided entertainment. Next the rocket ship and its occupants journeyed to Venus, the planet to which no man had ever ventured. Princesses Jackie Hamlin, Margie Norberg, Justine Jones, and Queen Marie Baldwin greeted the newcomers with an air of curiosity as to what they were. Cupid Dick Kelton hurriedly explained that those Hthingsw were men, and the curiosity was quickly changed to joy. Buddy Constine, Joe Ginsberg, and Cliff Scherer added many laughs to the show with their idea of the Andrews Sisters' rendition of One Meat Ball? 'cThe Beautiful Ladies in Waitingn- Joanne Bowerman, Bar- bara Daniel, Dionne Doree, Ellen Espy, Pat Fotre, Joan Halperin, Betty Holman, Barbara Kelley, Mary Ellen Kilfeather, Louise Kramer, Diane Leib, Terry Lover- gine, Jody Peluso, and Norma Vincent-added more color to Venus. M.Cfd by Ceorge Sherman, the Junior Philharmonic Orchestra, featuring such renowned musicians as Bill Boeck, Bob Ewing, Bill Fore, Joyce Hubbard, Jerry Hummel, and Cene Roche, then took the spotlight for a change of scene. Utopia, the studentis paradise, was the last planet of the universe that Color Night depicted. Receptionist Cloria Friedland attempted to show her visitors what school would be like in that happy-go-lucky place with a presentation of 'CJones and Companyf, Some of the outstanding characterizations in this act were those of Dean Conklin as Mr. Reggie Twichell, Dick St. Johns as Mr. Casey Twichellg Jackie Hamlin, secretary, . Mickey Titus, Trick Facey, and Mariellen Smith, Alpha. Photo by Madelene Barber
