The wolf, Roger Cawthon, pleads with Grandma, Cathy Jaehnig, not to testify against a poor orphan wolf like himself. “Hairy Falsetto” Goes To Mobile As the curtain rises on “The Hairy Falsetto,” Ferguson witnesses its Thespian Troupe’s most outstanding accomplishment, the play they will perform representing Virginia’s 275 high schools in the Southeastern Theatre Conference at Mobile. The scene is a courtroom; the case — the state versus the wolf that tried to make breakfast of Grandma. The evidence — a hair from an eyebrow found on granny’s pillow (but wolves don’t have eyebrows!), Granny’s “intermission,” and Little Red’s red coat that excited the colorblind wolf. The result — an “excellent” rating, third place, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress awards, finding out Little Red, not the wolf, is guilty, and concluding that Mother Goose should be banned from the schools, What is this, anvwav? A Kangaroo Court? 1 W f ■ . Bfl ITf D. A., Frances Ann Moore, finds definite proof — a hair from a wolf s eyebrow found on Grandma’s pillow. The judge, Robbie Cutler, declares that the wolf will get a fair trial and then they will hang him. Student Life — 23

Being Miss Mariner’ Happiness Is “ . . . To Cathy Jaehnig happiness is “ . . . finding a nickel and two scoops of ice cream.” “It’s the Merry Month of May!” Ninty-three paper flowers, twenty-four girls, a red runway, and the dance band all turn into the fifth annual Miss Mariner Pageant. Although Nancy Eure has to practice her lines at least fifty times, (and over the loudspeaker too!) Linda Bryant has to pull the curtain with leather gloves, there is too much food at the Thursday night dinner for the contestants and judges, and despite all Mrs. Congleton’s and Mrs. Evans’ worries, on Friday night the judges do select ten semi-finalists. Mrs. Howe and Mrs. Phillips try to keep order, whispering that anyone out of the dressing room will be disqualified. As the girls present their talent — everything from modeling original clothes to a Shirley Temple pantomine — five girls in gowns run to the Dari-Snak for Cokes. Finally after suits, gowns, talent, and questions, Cathv Jaehnig is Miss Mariner 1969! Happiness to the Mariner Staff is another successful Miss Mariner Pageant. The judges and contestants enjoy an informal dinner on Thursday night before the talent presentation. Student Life — 25
