Candy, Cowboys, Ghosts, Hula Girls Star Variety is the word for the four acts that comprised our 31st annual vaudeville, the Redskin Revue, presented two nights, March 17 and 18, to full houses. It was co-chairmened by John Hersh- berger and Sandy Hoffmann. All acts were student written, produced, and directed, with the help of faculty sponsors. Mr. Carl Wright and his indus- trious stage crew outdid themselves in creating custom-made sets for each act. Student directors had ideas which sounded fantastic on paper, but which did not baffle this enterprising group of stagehands. Their haunted house, which made chills run up the spine, and their candy machine, from which live candies were expelled, were in- genious. The dance band, under the direction of Mr. William Kleyla, had to learn arrangements for 28 numbers to accompany singers, dancers, and provide background music for all acts. Winning intermission act was Pam Haug, accor- dionist. Noramae Branham, Pat Thomas, Mary Hawthorne, and Nancy Ferguson teamed up to bring their version of Alvin ' s Harmonica. To foster ticket sales, fifteen seniors were divided into two teams of six members each, plus three helpers at large. Champion ticket seller was Oma Birl who sold 330 tickets. Thelma Dick and Sharon Thomp- son, selling 221 tickets each, tied for second place. A haunted house was the background for Frankie ' s Party, by Donna Monroe and Sandy Robison. Supernatural beings congregated to taste the bewitching brew concocted by Mrs. Franken- stein. Among guests at the midnight get-together were witchettes, Dracula, a Vampire, a quartet of skeletons, dancing mummies, and assorted ghosts. Faculty sponsors for the act were Miss Phyllis Greve and Mr. Ray Hawkins. Sweetness After Hours, written by Karen Brehob and Mary Agan, and sponsored by Mrs. Mary Alice Taylor and Mr. Jim Guillaume, took place in a candy shop where sweets came to life at midnight. Songs and dances by animated candies combined for a colorful show. Moving West was written by Sharon Sarkine and Mike Lewallen. The act showed a wagon train ' s stop for the night. A surprise Indian attack, a visit from the miner Ike and his famed Betsy from Pike ; the comical antics of Pa, and a Can-can chorus line made lively and exciting action. Miss Freda Hart and Mr. Leland Walter sponsored the act. Hawaiian Holiday, by Jackie White and Fred Kortepeter, featured a Hawaiian village, complete with straw hut, palm trees, and hula girls. Visiting American tourists were shown all the local color by the natives and were honored with a luau feast. Sponsoring the act were Mrs. Jean Shelton and Mr. Ed Hegarty. Supernatural monsters invade the set of Frankie ' s Party at the invitation of Frankenstein and his bride, Lola. With jive-talking ghosts, singing skeletons, mirthful mummies, and bewitching witchettes, the stage is transformed into one huge Spook Ball. The act, written by Donna Monroe and Sandy Robison, captured Best Act Award of I960.

Parents Purchase New Bus with Earnings The Dads Club is an equally active organization, backed by faculty men as well as Dads. Their annual fish fry in early September and their spa- ghetti supper in January were their two lucrative projects. Members and their wives are kept busy at football games in the concession stands, passing hundreds of delicious hot dogs and steaming cups of hot chocolate and coffee over the counter. They also provide hungry basketball fans with popcorn, ice cream, and candy. A spanking-new Redskin bus was the big project of the two organizations this year. The 60-passenger GMC, nicknamed Betsy, is often employed to transport athletic teams, the band, singing groups, and clubs to contests, programs, and meetings. Regular classes use it when taking field trips to business, industries, and colleges. Monies from the coffers of our two parent organi- zations also provide scholarships to summer insti- tutes for journalists, cheerleaders, scientists. Mr. Howard Thrall, Mr. Raymond Van Arsdale, and Mr. Leslie Maxwell sport chef ' s uniforms to dish up spaghetti at the big supper before the Manual-Tech game. Bus Driver Robert Sparks, also known as the Rinky-Dink Coach, and tackle Lanny Gerber engage in friendly chatter in front of the new Redskin bus while they wait for the rest of ihe team to take off to an away-from-home game.
