Pennies from .Hearn (And from the Audience) no sir—It only added lo iho fun of tho thing ... Then how can wo foigot our charming vocalists Marjorie Hun! warbling Stormy Weather and F. D. R. Jones and Betty Thompson's I've Got My Eyes on You ... And then there was Bernice Reschko who did a wonderful job of I Found a Million Dollar Baby. A million thanks should be given to Dick Hagomoistor who really did a grand job at tho piano ... To Ann Marripodi who brought a bit of Hawaii on tho stage with her gracious Hula Dance ... To Archie Frame lor his witty sayings and his crazy poem (remember?) ... To John Olsen ar.d Sheldon Zoslov for their sporting ribs And of course there wero othors ... all real sports ... all fine kids . . . The dance was successful too—The gals were all purty In their new dressos and although some of our heroes held up the left wall of the girl's gym very well—we all had a grand lime. There were many other laughs and a lot of swell kids who worked hard to put the thing over. The idea of the whole show was to bring into the limelight all the things of historical. entertaining, and musical importance that happened during our reign on this earth (ahem) . . . Which about covered the years 1924 lo 1942 . . . Catch on? Although it wasn't as elaborate and oxciting as the Prom, and although it was a bit on the corny side. Class Day as presented by the kids won't be forgotten for a long whilo yet. It produced many a laugh and. yes. even an occasional bronx cheer was heard In the audience. For instance remember the swell Master of Ceremonies Blair Schroyor made and how the class howled when he announced the title of our presentation as Only Yestorday or Who Loft The Ring Around the Bath Tub? . . . The kids got quite a kick out of that and their onjoyment was addod to when fellows liko Bernard MacGroarty. Jerry Jankovich and Jack Caputo wont out on that stago and practically ad-libbed the wholo thing ... but it sure brought results. . . . And Shore won't be a poison who won't agree that the biggest hit of Iho show was Howard Connor's uproarious impersonation of fiery Carmen Miranda. What an outfit ho had on—remember? Ho was perfoct—from tho wigglo of his hips lo that wickod gleam in his oyos . . . Incidentally our singing quartet composed of Ernest Scott. Ken McManemy. Ray Monday, and Budd Bernhardt certainly put the Ink Spots to shame. Their rendition of How Dry I Am go! a terrific hand from the audience (and by-the-way this samo audienco put their pitching arms into practico by tossing a fow ponnres. too generous souls) But nobody mindod - COLLINWOOD HIGH SCHOOL UBRAK]
