The Follies' viewers were also amused wiTh a humor- ous, saTirical look aT a Typical 4930's LaTln classroom scene. EnTiTled Amo, Amas, Amaf, This scene porTrayed FaTher Sammon, LaTin Teacher, played by junior Graham Hickey, insTilling The fear of God inTo his sTudenTs as he drilled Them in Their verb conjugaTions. As AcT l of The Follies enTered iTs final scene, The Time was 4942. The place was The EdgewaTer Beach l-loTel and The evenT was Loyola's Prom for ThaT year.

The hisTory of jug was Traced as players re- lived jug experiences of The forTies, sixTies, and eighTies. Melodrama was well por- Trayed as Kennedy's assassi- naTlon was announced To a cafeTeria of noisy sTudenTs. The chorus' enThusiasTlc sing- ing of Hey Jude helped The audience recall The Turmoil of The slxTies. Amerlca's reTurn To The norm of social conducT in The sevenTies, was illusTraTed by a lively Sfayin' Alive disco scene.
