Representatives of each act came back for the finale of the finale. To Familiarize Us 1'Music Moodsi' was the appropriate theme of the annual Red and Black Revue held in the Iefl gym, November 4, 1954. Bob Schaaf, sophomore, was Master of Ceremonies of the one night show which had a cast of almost three hundred. Around three thousand people witnessed the showing of Iefl's biggest annual revue of the year. We who participated in the Red and Blackv agree with that ever popular song, 'Thereis No Business Like Show Businessf' because we ex- perienced it. Who knows? Maybe some of us may be a part of that everlasting business some- day just because we had that chance to display our hidden talents in high school. If this is not the case, we know even then that having such a revue gives us an even more important gain, that of working and co-operating with others. Mr. George Price, shop teacher, was general chairman of this yearis revue which consisted of Hve acts and ten specialties. Act I was called Gypsy Holiday, and was under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Andrews, commercial teacher. The setting had a group of dancing gypsies around a fire. Dark Eyesv, and Romanian Bhapsodyv carried out the theme of a gypsy,s holiday. A ghost town was the setting of Act II, directed Page 28 He's not a lone cowhandu any more.

To Enjo Friends And Fellowship What to do on Saturday nightv has always been a problem to Jeff students. The Spot',, a new youth center under the supervision of the Y.W.C.A., was the solution to our problem this year. As extra features during the year the Spot,, held mixers after three home basketball games, a Christmas party, Dec. 22, and was open during the Sectional Tourneys between sessions. As a gesture in recognition of Mr. Lynn Miller's fine work at jeff, the 1'Spotv presented the school before the last home basketball game an oil painting of him. This portrait is now hang- ing at Jeff as a lasting memorial. A governing board consisting of IeH girls and boys supervise the Spots, functions. To honor and preserve the memory of Mr. Lynn Miller, the 'KSpot club presented an oil portrait of him to the school. Please show me your member- ship card. Ping-pong is a favorite pastime at the Spot, Page 27
