STANDING MUN UNL lf you think you've seen a real Broadway performance, you're mis- taken if you didn't see this year's Broadway Showcase. This year's endeavor was entitled You Can't Take It With You, a pulitzer prize win- ning comedy by Moss Hart, and George Kaufman, two of the most re- nowned Broadway comedy writers. The show is about the bizarre, but very happy Vanderhof family, and the strange goings on in their home. This production differs from all past Broadway Showcase performances in that it contains no music. The smash presentation, produced and di- rected by Mrs. Alice Gold was per- formed at Van Buren on May 12 and 13. Also, the cast did a benefit per- formance at Creedmore State Hospi- tal. f,-if A 7' A Grandpa, Bill Cryan, takes a moments relaxation from the Vanderhof madness.

4-'fvfrw Stu, Bonnie, and Rob harmonize. Club, one of the more insane organizations available to the stu- dents, has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history here at Martin Van Buren. It is rumoured that Mr. Van Buren himself was once the lead singer. But seriously, the Folk Club, in keep- ing with its long standing record of fine performances, did it again this year. They sang their beautifully ar- ranged harmonies for children at pub- lic schools, as well as senior citizens at nursing homes. Among the favorite songs were Chelsea Morning by Joni Mitchell, Part of the Plan by Dan Fogelberg, and My Music by Loggins and Messina. At the end of the year, Folk Club gives its final performances for the people at Van Buren. This Hootena- ny , as it was once called, or Night of Mellow Music , as it is currently known, highlights the year. , ' if EFT TO RIGHT: Stu Lerner, Scott Finchler, Bobby Meyers, Dori Solomon, Jamie abits, Nina Evans, Marla Garil, Diedre Smith, Rob Rhindress Z, 'W . ,.
