the Dance Young at Heart” Terry LaNoue, Mike Kinsey, and Doug Allen do a fine impersonation of the Mc- Guire Sisters. “Oh, Ambrose,” coos Gar Underwood to George Bobal, “why do we have to keep walking ?” Highlighting the dance were three skits presented by members of the Lettermen’s Club. George Bo- bal as “Ambrose” walked through a dark, but delightful subway tun- nel with his “girlfriend,” Gar Un- derwood. Don Turley, Jim Shearer, and Ed Zarndt cavorted in har- mony with the recorded antics of the three “Singing Chipmunks,” Simon, Theodore, and Alvin. Their enthusiasm was curtailed only by their harassed instructor, John James. Terry LaNoue, Mike Kin- sey, and Doug Allen did a mag- nificent impersonation of the Mc- Guire Sisters. The audience also enjoyed a bit of choreography on the part of the “Sisters.” The dance was deemed a great success. And who is going to prove that Cupid wasn’t really present after all?! John James leads the three “Singing Chipmunks” — Jim Shearer, Don Turley, and Ed Zarndt.

Rally, Game, and Dance Festivities officially began on Thursday, Octo- ber 9, with the Homecoming parade. The parade proved to be the largest and most colorful in Panther history. Each class and most school clubs entered floats in the parade. First prize for floa ts went to the queens’ float. The girls of ’59 took first prize for cars. The parade drew up at the athletic field where the enormous bonfire was ignited by football team co-captains Don Turley and Tom McGee. The cheerleaders led pep activities and a snake dance after which a sock hop was held in the gym. Music for the sock hop was provided by the Sophisticats. October 10 — the big day arrived at last! A de- termined Panther team beat the Dyer Indians to secure a Homecoming victory. Queen Sandy and her court reigned at the Homecoming Victory Dance held after the game. Entertainment was provided by the “Unknowns.” Happy Griffith students will long remember Homecoming ’58. Hail the Queen! Smiling Sandy Janzig has just been crowned 1958 Homecoming Queen. Everyone is having a good time at the Victory Dance! Flanking Queen Sandy are members of her court, left to right — Pat Brown, Mary Jo Brant, Claudia Bapst, and Rosann Heimberger.
