VARIETY SHOW

Page 28 text:

Variety Show APRIL 16 and 17 On April l6th and 17th, the 4th annual variety show was presented by the Student Council in the George Washington Auditorium. The show was a great success as everyone enjoyed himself thoroughly. On April 21st the troupe journeyed to Fort Devens where they put on an equally successful show. The show opened with two orchestral selections which put everyone in a relaxing mood and ready to enjoy the show. The chorus, which was first on the program, did a fine job throughout the show. The most enjoyed act on the program was the girls’ Spike Jones Orchestra. The girls really put on a show, and the people did ever) ' thing but roll in the aisle with laughter. Another enjoyable act was the singing of She’ll Be Cornin’ Round the Mountain” by a group of hillbillies. Whoever thought Swifty” would make such a charming young lady. Mr. Lawson’s gym act was even more breathtaking and spectacular than last year. We don’t think the wrestlers were evenly matched, but they certainly were entertaining. We all knew right from the beginning that Albie was outclassed. The mystery play was a different touch from the comedies usually presented. This play dis- played much of the dramatic talent hidden away in the high school. All of the acts were good, but they are too numer- ous to mention here. To all those students who par- ticipated in any way, all I can say is CONGRATU- RATIONS on a fine job. Barbara Mitzcavitch, ’52 [ 26 ]

Class Prophecy I.M. Fancy meeting you here in this place of heavenly bliss. How did we get here? 0. D. Yeah — just fancy. You want to know how we got here? Well, I’ll tell you. Realizing that this place is scillions of miles from earth and knowing also that we’ve been drifting around in space for the past twenty years, you might say we’ve come a long way. Re- member the class outing? You and I decided not to go by bus with the rest of the kids. We were going to be different; we went in my car — or at least we started out in it. Just before we set out Leo Clark came along with a sample of his new invention - — ZOOMO, the space gas guaranteed to turn any car into a jet boat. 1. M. I realize now that we used it, but what did we hit? 0. D. I’m not sure, but I think it was the Matter Horn but it might have been Pike’s peak. 1. M. It worked, Ha? O.D. Yah — to an extent. I wonder if Leo ever found out what happened to us. As we left the school I did have time to see Leo’s agon- ized look of surprise as we flew like a streak of greased lightening and disappeared. While we’re here let’s float around on a cloud that’s drifting earthward and see what the kids of the class of ’52 did with their lives. The gate keeper said if you chose the right kind of cloud and drifted in the four directions of the compass anything you ought to know in that section would appear on a printed card. Golly Look — Wouldn’t you just know it? See that Neon Sign? Here’s the card — it says, Alving’s Alphabet Soup. Yeah, Delbie and his squeeze box got to be quite the sensation, but his new method of canning Snaf- fles Sniffles’’ in alphabetical form really put him on the map. What does this card say? Nancy Bain who was successful in her career as a nurse has given up her career to become the wife of a famous surgeon, Dr. Kill-Em-All. Ernest Barilone, owner and chief beautician of New York’s Beauty Salon, is now thinking of adding one more shop to his chain — in Maynard. Andre Beshta, who owns over a 100 Kilbasi roll- ing factories, now travels around explaining the fine points of his product. It says here that Naomi Boothroyd has been very successful in the telephone business for she will soon be promoted to a very high position in her work. Ralph Cantino invented and manufactures the most powerful smelling germicide on the market (for some strange reason occurring in his school days). Orchids to Mary Cirino. She has just been awarded the highest honor anyone can receive in shorthand, a diamond medal for being able to take shorthand at 200 words a minute. She is secretary to one of the most important business men in the Salami Business. Carolyn Cuttell, a well-known ace behind the wheel, now has her own driving school. She has be- come a tremendous success and only 9 out of 10 of her pupils have had serious accidents. Well, get a load of this. The Patricia Dawson Dress Shoppe. She has the most beautiful creations in her shoppe, very cheap too! Only $200.00 for a cotton dress! It seems that Pat keeps Delbie in busi- ness. Every week she buys a carton of his alphabet soup. Mm — Good ! Owen Duggan is now coaching the famous Globe Trotters. Ever since they have been under the super- vision of Owen, they have been more sensational than ever. Owen has five boys of his own and would like to form ' his own basketball team, but his wife objects. Richard Dunnigan went into partnership with Ar- thur Murray teaching the Zombie Shuffle. Thomas Eley, a five star general, is in charge of guarding the oil in Iceland. What does this say? Garfield Motion Pictures, Inc. Ruth is doing colossal business in the movie industry and has all the modern conveniences you would want, plus the best rate movies, too. From reading the latest reports of the London Daily Blah, we find that Janet Gentsch and Miriam [ 28 }
