Crimson Frolics was a very appropriate name to lx- given the 1954 J.II.S. Min strel show, for never did one see such frolics! The main “frolicers”—interlocutor Ed Foreman and the end men—kept the show rapidlv and humorously moving through the various acts which included a real honest-to-goodness chorus line of dancing beauties. Another outstanding feature of the show was the seventy voice choir directed by Mr. Lord. All the acts were accompanied bv talented Becky Crouse. The riotous endtnen were: George Stevens, Mr. Sparkplug; Jim Symons, Mr. Ha tliator; Max Roegge, Mr. Tappitt; and Jim Woodward, Air. Dynaflow. The Rockettes, ably directed by Nancy Godfrey and Norma Jean Gibbs, were: Betty Hembrough, Gerrv Smith, Carol Tayman. Nancy Painter, Ann Pearce, Barbara Munk, Elaine Smith, Janet Elliott, Sharon Hegarty, and Shirley Pilkington. This year's show W'as under the excellent chairmanship of Miss Fergene Coddin and Mr. Donald Lord, with a committee consisting of Mrs. Isabel Baptist, Miss Helen Richards, and Miss Hannah Schwitzky. As the curtain fell at the close of the second-night performance, it w'as agreed that never had a finer Minstrel been staged at J.H.S. Max Roegge, George Stevens, Ed Foreman, Jim Symons, and Jim Woodward.
