Harvey Walked Among Us Hmm, frolic day certainly came early this year, mused those who saw a tall, lean rabbit stride in through Evan- der ' s front entrance. With his whiskers bristling, complete- ly ignoring this comment, Harvey, the six-foot rabbit who has made Frank Fay famous, stalked dramatically into room 109 where we, the members of the Oriole staff, come each day to toil over the data sheets. He had heard of our theatrical interest, and so he ' d ccme to Evander to see if he could use our senior celebrities to staff the Broadway theater which he had just acquired. Of course we agreed, and equipping Harvey with a senior hat out of which two holes had been cut for his ears, we sent him forth to find his celebrities. Harvey reported back to us at the end of the day, and this is the way in which his crew is to be lined up: Nikki Lerner, Beatrice Appelstein and Arline Kramer of the John B. Shamus Oratorical Society will be posted outside the theater to bark, Standing room only, and quit yer shovin ' ! . . . Gloria Havender, Louis Silvestri, Walter Anderson, and Helen Bernstein of the Oriole art staff are naturals for painting the exit and lounge-room signs. . . . The affinity of Whitey Rothenberg, Jo Ann Asbury, Hel- mut Kuehnel and Avalon Sachs, Evander ' s swimming stars, for liquids will put them in line for the job of selling lemonade. . . . Shirley Stotsky, senior secretary, will sell tickets, and we can already envision our senior treasurer, Joan Hartney, crouching among the folds of the theater ' s curtain, gloating over the box-office returns. . . . Harvey thought hard about Jerry Gumberg, and finally decided that his talents would be best put to use if he were given the task of scraping the old chewing gum off the theater seats. . . . Herbert Weiss of Evander ' s band will look nice in the orchestra pit, his face all red from the exertion of polishing the brass rail which runs around it. . . . Should the band ever get around to playing, Emil Martin, whose

o o o voice has been changing for the past four years, might be induced to give them their pitch. . . . Freddie Goldstein, Ruth Horowitz, Frank Di Fiori, and Jocelyn Katz of the ri Evander News staff will be chained to a printing press and O beaten into writing the playbill. . . . And Red Hutchin- Q son will be kept as a spare to be loaned out as an under- study to one of the carrot-topped brood of Life With Father. . . . Elayne Garfinkel, Murray Gelfand, Anthony Narducci, Ruth Frankel, and Murray Rosenzweig, Evander ' s foremost athletes, will rush up and down the theater aisles, selling peanuts, popcorn, and cafeteria specials to the innocent audience. . . . Screwing in the light bulbs on the marquee will be the task of Carol Grant, senior historian. . . And in order to keep little Rhoda Sistenwein happy, she will be provided with a pair of scissors so that she may flit from seat to seat, cutting bangs in the audience ' s hair. . . . Angelina Bartalotta, our senior vice president, will be stationed at the stage door to keep out adventurous alley cats. . . . You all know the dramatic new aria which goes, Yum yum yum yum yum, by yimminy. Well, Santoro and Mary Ann Quizzuti assisted by the Misses Love, Horowitz, Brownstein and Victor of our glee club will render this composition, with variations. . . . Our pub- licity will be handled by Iris Priest, Carmel Polack, Walter Fruchtman, and Marilyn Goldstein of the Bridge, who offer their combined talents for the cause. And last of all, we come to Evelyn Esposito, senior president, into whose hot little hand will be placed the lever which raised the curtain for the show to begin. Enthusiastically we applauded Har- vey ' s plans. There was a rabbit exceedingly clever. . . . At this point, a live freshman wandered into the Oriole office, and after listening a moment suggested that it might be wise to get a play for our fully-equipped theater. Now this struck us as being a particularly sound idea, and we, therefore, decided that that the whole senior class was to star, and that the play was to be a panorama of the four years we have spent roaming Evander ' s halls. Harvey agreed. And Harvey grinned broadly at us, and we grinned broadly back at him. We were satisfied, and so was he.
