Redskin Revue Runs Gamut from Nursery Hillbilly intermission act, featuring Sonja Keating, Judy Schoenherr, Linda Loeper, and Sharon Lahrman, cap- tured the trophy for best comedy team. Rollicking with music and mirth, the 1959 Redskin Revue, 30th annual student vaudeville, made its debut, March 1 9th for a two-night stand and played before large, enthusiastic audiences. Some 200 Manualites joined forces to produce four big acts which featured South of the Border by Mary Heichelbech and Charlotte McMurry; Mother Goose of 59 by Donna Monroe and Becky Mitchell; Dogface Soldier by Carney Likens and Steve Matthews; and On Stage by Sharron and Jim Jones. Teeming with talent, participants in the revue danced mamboes and rock n rolls, vocalized in solos and choruses, and played solo and combo numbers. Manual ' s twelve-piece dance band pro- vided the musical background for 37 numbers in the four acts from the orchestra pit. Seniors Den- nis Jackson and Jackie Goad, student chairmen of the Redskin Revue, emceed the production. Win- ning poster design for the Revue belonged to Jackie Buzzaird while the program cover was designed by Marjorie Viehe. Chorus line from On Stage includes Bonnie Spreen, Mary Hawthorne, Barbara Emerich, Carla Biegel, Tommy Sue Janke, Sharon Jones, Carol Hoeping, Georgia Shaner, Sharon Scholl, Judy Crouch. Decked out in bright green costumes with top hats and canes, the girls tapped out a snappy routine.

We Help P-TA, Dads Club Meet Budgets Many of our parents who are active in the P-TA get busily involved in the big money making proj- ect in the spring. Last year called the Hit Parade, it is an evening of lots of fun for young and old, and it adds considerably to the organization ' s cof- fers. The annual features are the popularity contest, supper in the cafeteria, and many games and booths, topped off with a vaudeville show. Activities of the Dads Club include their concession stands at Delavan Smith Field during football season, and in the gym at basketball time. On February 14 an Italian Spaghetti Supper, prepared by Italian cooks from real Italian recipes, was a big hit with the more than 500 persons who en- thusiastically attended. Funds from these activities are used for various school needs. Our snappy band uniforms were pur- chased by these organizations, and our Redskin Bus was furnished by the P-TA. Funds are also provided to help students attend conventions and institutes. Above, Mr. J. Ray Johnson wins a cake in the Cake Walk at the Hit Parade. Below, Dick VanArsdale, bas- ketball player, tries his luck at a concession. Dads dished up the spaghetti for the many folks attending the real Italian Spaghetti Supper. Enjoying their meal is the Lindley family.
