MOVIES November was another busy month for the seniors. They began adver- tising for a series of movies that were to be held during the month. The first movie, held on November 2, was Blondie. Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake were starred in their usual roles of Blondie and Dagwood Bumstead. Dagwood, the disorderly husband, has an uncontrollable knack for finding trouble. Blondie, his patiet and reliable wife, always manages to rescue him. The Bumsteads made this evening a very merry one. Our movie of November 9 was the romantic, thrill-packed, So Proudly We Hail. Claudette Colbert, Veronica Lake and Paulette Goddard portrayed the courageous nurses on Wake Island during World War ll. All the Sonny Tufts fans came to see their favorite as an awkward, lovable marine who takes a decided interest in Paulette Goddard. Many a tear was shed as the terrors of war were brought to the screen. November 30 was an evening of surprises. The reel broke at least a half dozen times, leaving the auditorium in complete darkness. The shouts of the students resulted in a hurried repair of the film by Mr. Sarver. Sun Valley Serenade was the picture shown despite the interruption. Lovely Sonja Henie delighted her audience with her graceful skating. Glenn Miller provided the music while John Payne was the romantic interest for the film. THANKSGIVING DANCE On November 16, l945, the Seniors held a Thanksgiving dance, bingo, and turkey raffle. The parents spent most of the evening playing bingo in one of the rooms, while the students danced to the latest recordings in the gym. Toward the middle of the evening the crowd assembled for the floor show held by the seniors. The audience was held spellbound when Dr. Pierre Hardtsky played the great piano concerto. Pierre, the great artist, dressed in a smart black suit, his long hair hanging loosely around his face, found the concerto so strenuous, that he had to stop in the middle to wipe his brow. ln direct contrast, the charming Dottie Schauer sang lt Might As Well Be Spring as liltingly and delightfully as Jeanne Crain. The program proved to be one of opposites for Roberta Lake then gave out with some piano Boogie Woogie followed by a trumpet solo, Homesick That's All by Bob Meehan. A duet, Comin' ln On A Wing And A Prayer by Roberta Lake and Oran Thomas, and the harmonizing of How Sweet You Are by Phyllis Carrington and Bill Laser were both most pleasant. Other feature attractions were Marion Thornton, in Cass Daley style, singing l Can't Say No and Bill Laser's sweet and melancholy accordion music. Later in the evening a twelve pound turkey, raffled off, was won by a Mrs. Grace Thornton. Refreshments were sold in the hall, and pictures of the dancing couples were taken by Mr. Hunt. When the music died down, the crowd departed. Everyone went home with the satisfac- tion of having spent a happy, enjoyable evening at Hampton High School. 124,
