GINGER KICKED THE BALL THIS WAY, AGNES says J. Cur- ley, as he demonstrates to A. Galvin the way the winning point was achieved. THATS A GOOD ONE. Best one I ' ve heard from you yet, chuckles J. Curley to K. Boyle, A. Galvin, and F. Odenhal. TIME OUT FOR GINGER This delightful comedy begins as the Carol daughters congratulate their father for his controversial speech favoring stu- dent liberty. Daughter Ginger takes her father ' s advice and joins the varsity foot- ball team. She can actually outrun her boyfriend. Tommy, who breaks with her. Finally she becomes disillusioned, and things fall back in their proper order when the boys, sprawled laughing on the field, let her score a touchdown. AS ROUND ONE gets under way. I. McCarthy and B. Guy fight their way out of the situation without boxing gloves. WHOA! the room is tipping over, shakily says L. Kiziak to A. Galvin who is on the couch. 48 •THIS IS THE OUTFIT that won the game, brags Ginger, played by G. Hilleary, to C. Weissenborn. D. Jacobe is the innocent by-stander.

Call Me Madam climaxed the year ' s dramatic productions with a professional note. Under the direction of Mr. Boyd Hagy, assisted by Mr. Fred Frabotta, Music Director, and Mrs. Patti Hands, Choreographer, the performance displayed a true spirit of showmanship in all of its precarious and thrilling moments. The plot, which was a light political satire based on the well-known Perle Mesta story, sati- rized the liberal loan policy of the government and made humorous allusions to Mr. Truman. Modern dances, peppy choruses, traditional polkas enhanced the lively dialogue and spirited acting of the cast. Highlights of the play, never to be forgotten, were Sally Adams (Linda Quig- ley ' s) struggle with a very uncooperative larynx — the mystery of those eight missing bars of mu- sic which the dancers were not prepared to skip — the convincing thump of Linda ' s fall — the Lichtenburg cheese — to mention just a few. To borrow an expression, we can sum up all reactions with the traditional IT ' S TERRIFIC! ENJOY THE FAIR! smiles Princess Maria (A. Galvin) to her fellow Lichtenhurgers. after the generosity of the Ambassador makes the traditional Fair possible once again. ■MONEY, MONEY. MONEY sing Senator Brock- bank (D. Jacobe), Senator Gallagher (D. Hayer), and Congressman W i 1 k i n s (K. Pavlyak). THE UNSUNG HEROES . . . L. Gascoigne, Bass, J. Thomas and Mr. Fred Frabotta set the pace at the piano. ITS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE PERLE MESTA PARTIES that simply floors everybody.

TEN LITTLE INDIANS The play Ten Little Indians is based on the Agatha Christie thriller And Then There Were None. Our Americanized version takes place on an island oflf the coast of Maine where ten per- sons, previously unknown to one another, are captives of a mysterious homocidal maniac. Seven persons die before the culprit. Judge War- grave, shows his hand and is killed in a surprise finish. IT ' S NOT TRUE! It ' s not true! ' hysterically shouts B. Masse to C. Weissenbom after being accused of murder. S. Lopez-Calleja, J. Larkin, D. Hayer register suspicion. r ' .- ' f I CANT BEAR TO LOOK; killings always scare me, says P. Sturges after she shoots J. Williams in the stomach in the final act. MM WHILE IN FLIGHT, P. Sturges makes a quick getaway from the scene of the crime as J. Larking tries to stop her from doing more wrong as a fugitive. CALL THAT COFFEE! chokes L. Kizuik, after drinking, not knowing he had been poisoned with cyanide. P. Sturges calmly witnesses the tragic scene, unaware of what is to come. THE ONLY PEACE ONE CAN GET IS TO pretend you are dead. J. Larkin proves this to be true as he pretends to be a corpse, while D. Hayer and D. Dawson pretend to ignore him.
