Senior ight Spotlight The spotlight moves rapidly over another summer of Senior night revels. Here it rests upon the popular Jean, trying to dance with six boys at once-or perhaps it's the other way round. There is Natalie, dancing blissfully with some tall dark Romeo from Schroon Lake Camp. Now it focuses upon Mr. Chankin serving punch to the thirsty crowd, which is endangering the stability of the punch table. The light plays aimlessly about, then strays to Cayuga where it reveals Betty's blushes as she is being serenadedg to Schroon Lake Camp and a thrilling performance of The Last lVIile. The beam wanders again this time to Brant Lake's refreshment corner where a gay crowd is gathered. Ah! Here we are at the Social Hall of YVakonda, with the spotlight illuminating their sparkling version of Senorita.,' There are Frankie and Shirley giggling again at Pine Tree. Thatls Nlabel dancing in a waltzy contest and Helen dividing them into a multi- plication dance. The spot is wavering. It grows dimmer-just enough light to reveal a summerful of merry laughing faces-and it is out. mfeltyf Cgbtf IN COINIMOTION PICTURES 7 The virtues of some wild weird wares in ads We first relate' Bunk A gets the contract for coffee with a date.

This flashed upon the screen was enough to insure for us the excellent synchronization of that epic film HRONDACK 19347 Throughout the unreeling of this picture, We were soothed, stimulated and delighted in turn by the various appearances of the Glee Club singing such favorites as We Gather Together, Who is Sylvia? I-Iandelis Largo, and All Through the Night. The musical climax of this feature was undoubtedly the Glee Club Concert which featured such stars as Betty Ross, Helen Hirsch and Ruth Altschul in The Nlermaidf' Two Grenadiersf, VVinter, and A Capital Ship.
