The Hartian CARNIVAL OF '46 The Hart School Carnival of '46 was a popular success. The main show and side shows together made a very agreeable evening of entertainment. The main show, called Deep South Minstrel,” was under the direction of Mr. Tate and Mr. Schestag. The F. F. A. boys and a few business men participated in it. Donald Wood, master of ceremonies, kept the show going and together with a few excellent musical numbers made a good production. Virginia Curtis and Donald Hansen reigned over the Carnival this year. In the queens court were: Beverley Smith, Marian Purdy, Marleen Simons, Gerry Glover, Marjorie Flint, and Madelyn Van Bergen. The side shows were all decided improvements over last year, having had more practice and better plots. The Senior's presented Railroad Rhythm in the study hall which was a hilarious success with pie-throwing the climax. 1 he Junior’s side show was called Solid-Side Inn and presented a contrast between a coke joint in '26 and '46. The costumes of the earlier period and the jive talk of the later period together made an amusing and very successful show. The Sophomores were a little different in their production as the entire show was in pantomime. It was very well enacted and The Lamp Went Out was enthusiastically received. The Freshman show, Roamin' Romeo, was very popular and had a large attendance. Reginald Madison, one of the main attractions, did a song and dance number that was very clever. Reginald was applauded back several times. The puppet show, Sweethearts, was put on by the Latin Classes under the direction of Mrs. Burdick. It was the first we have had at the carnival for a long time, and was enjoyed by all. The students showed great skill in handling the puppets. Each of the lower grades put on a show also. These went off good and were well liked. The bingo game and games of chance finished off the entertainment and the Eat Shop in the basement was constantly jammed both evenings by the crowds of hungry people.

DON’T TAKE MY PENNY November 6th and 7th, the Junior Class presented a three-act comedy entitled, Don't Take My Penny, which was received by everyone with great enthusiasm. When an average American girl, Penny, becomes stage struck, her family and her friends suffer. To make matters worse, Harrison Day, author of Penny's inspiration, plot thickens. From there on, it's anybody's guess what happens. The play was a great success due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Hulda Burdick, the director, and the co-operation of the cast. [20]
