MUSICAL REVIEW All aboard! Mid-nite choo-choo leaving in five minutes! And so, with the special chorus singing All Aboard for Alabam, the Musical Revue of 1938, held Friday and Saturday evenings, February I Ith and 12th, was under way. The current popular hits Josephine and Ten Pretty Girls were sung with appropriate settings by Frederick Palmer and Alfred Oppleton respec- tively. Such novel interpretations as the Minuet, Cake- walk, Military tap dance, Three Little Maids, and an Irish number all contributed to the success of the show. The Hill-billy quartet, consisting of Frederick and Charles Palmer, Adrian O'Brien, and Robert Bond must also be mentioned for the amusement they afforded. The Drum Dance and The Big Apple, por- trayed by Betty Smith and Jackie Schott of Syra- cuse, were two amusing features of the evening's performance. As a part of this year's presentation a play entitled Elmer was given under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Roth. Displaying their talents against a background of typical American home life the actors were Richard Perkins, Nancy Bigelow, Phyllis Long, Virginia Pierce, Barbara Northrup, Marjorie Gere, Robert Emerson, and Dorothea Rowley. Performed before a capacity crowd, the Musi- cal Revue proved a huge success not only from an entertainment, but also from a financial view- point, netting a profit of $ 180. LORETTE LAVOIE JOURNALISM Under the direction of a new faculty advisor, Miss Frances Belknap, forty young journalists met in the library at the beginning of the school year, to elect officers for this, their eighth successive year. The following officers were chosen: president, Nancy Bigelow; vice-president, Virginia Pierce; secrefary, Alice Montague. In January, Helen Haye succeeded Virginia Pierce as vice-president. It is the task of the Journalism Club to edit the two school newspapers. During the period from September to January the following served as staff members: Academy Messenger — Editor-in-chief, Jack Bunney; Managing editor, Lorette Lavoie; News editor, Peg McNeill; Sports editor, James Weeks; and Feature editor, Virginia Pierce. The Crimson and White editors consisted of: Editor-in-chief. Nancy Bigelow; Managing editor, Alice Montague; News editor, Helen Haye; Sports editor, Donald Flaherty; and Feature editor, Billie Brown. When the second semester was well under way the staffs were changed and the following were on the editing board: Academy Messenger — Editor-in-chief, Peg McNeill; Managing editor, Christina Dunlap; News editor, Billie Brown; Sports editor, James Weeks; and Feature editor, Virginia Pierce. Only one change was made in the opposite staff. Mary Zahn succeeded Billie Brown as feature editor. Programs during the year were varied. Many faculty members and townspeople gave interesting talks on reporting. During the first semester a party was held in the gym. The profits realized were used in sending four delegates to the Press Conference. The second social event proved to be a highly success- ful sleigh-ride.
