SENIOR SHOW This year's senior class extravaganza was not the usual song-and-skit routine. Gifted actors, singers, and dancers of the class of '63 pooled their talents in a hilari- ous, fun-filled spoof of the Roaring Twenties, The Boy Friend. Starring Margery Sternberg as Polly Browne, and Harold Sadowsky as her newly discovered beau, The Boy Friend frolicked through two nights of song and laughter on March 8 and 9. Diane Winters headed the crew of costume designers and seamstresses, supervised by Mrs. Ethel Purnell. The result of their hard work was a riot of bowed, striped, and ruffled shift dresses, suitable for the whirling, bouncy Charleston in the lively dance number, The Riviera, choreographed by Lorraine Lipman. Against a background of beautiful scenery and stage craft prepared by Mrs. Lorraine Lipari, the cast of fifty, including young ladies Carol Lieb, Joan Gastman, Laurie Margolies, and Gail Jacobs, rehearsed for months under the direction of music director Mr. Paul Irene, Mr. Stephen Silverman, and student director Ivan Karp. Co-stars Michelle Greenman and Tony Ramos worked hard at their roles of Madame DuBonnet and Percival Browne, as did Jean Hecht and Bob Feldman, who were rewarded by many chuckles at their hilarious antics. The result of all the work and harassments was a group of very convincing young flappers and Frenchmen, and the most exhilarating, foot-tapping, fun-filled senior show Van Buren had ever seen. L L I
