weight champion, and his opponent, Tcddie Tower, who had to lose 20 pounds within a week in order to make the weigh-in. The champion’s manager, Bob Kane, is very confident that his boy will be victorious, because of his speed and agility. As they enter the theatre and stumble their way to their seats, they find they have been taken by Mary Ann Matson, the world’s strongest lady wrestler. All the other seats are taken but one glance at her and they decide it would be healthier if they stood up at the back of the theatre. Who should they happen to stand beside but Bruce Warila, professor of English at Harvard University. From him they learn that another classmate is also in the teaching profession. It ' s Bev O’Toole, who has just returned to Maynard High to teach her favorite subject, French. The show begins, and M.C. for the night is the famous Tom Duggan. He has a warm welcome for the people and tells them they are in for a big surprise. There are a number of celebrities whom they are going to meet. The curtain opens and the melodious music of Francis Quinn ' s Orchestra is the background for the dancing of the Certainly Girls. Among these talented girls who have replaced the June Taylor Dancers are Audrey Alberi, Eleanor Konowicz and Lee Butler. Their outstanding routine is a fitting beginning for the show. The next entertainer has the audience holding their sides with laughter. He is the one and only Billy Clayton, who has risen to fame in a few short years. Following this humorous act is a solemn bal- lad from Mozart sung by Evelyn Harding, accom- panied by Jeanette Hayes on the banjo. For a change of pace, a breath-taking trapeze act is performed by the nimble Peter Januskewicz. There is a great disappointment to the audience as they are told by the M.C. that Bob Jarmulowicz, the unsurpassed ballet dancer, will not be able to perform because he injured his ankle. But wait! ! The renowned Abe Kaufman has generously agreed to help a worthy cause by filling in for him, singing one of his most popular numbers, O Sole Mio.” As the show comes to a close, the M.C. announces the celebrities in the audience. As each is announced, there is a loud round of applause. The first celeb- rity is Herbert Cremer, high-scoring center for the Celtics. He is well-known for breaking the single game professional scoring record by scoring 66 points in one game. The next celebrity is the famous movie actress, Dorothea Murphy, who has just completed her latest film, Shade From the Elm Tree,” which was directed by the capable Phil Williams. Last but by no means least, is the beautiful Kathy Niemela, Queen of the Orange Blossoms. Soon flickers of light from the present began to enlighten the minds of Nancy and Tom. The trance was broken. Nancy and Tom came from the hypnotist in a gay holiday spirit for they realized that all of their classmates were successful, happy people. Audrey Albert David Crotty 24
