r7 o v mi.v Bliu Prints Charming November I The Iloly Hoax . . . Dottie Bucknam as the chairman produced a triumphant Junior Show . . . The story created by Natalie Warner and W innifred Michel - bacher reminded us of a certain college—is it Farheard?—and did we recognize any of those fair students? This was a Show of shows . . . and one girl pretending she was a man pretending he was a girl . . . that was the situation. The good singing afterward from balcony to balcony . . . and that satisfied feeling of having seen something worth seeing. So thanks, '41. How could we help recalling The Blue Prints Charming 9 ... we had the same fun giving ours that you had with yours. The only Junior Show swing orchestra takes its how ... the cross-section indoor-outdoor set . . . the intellectual treatment of Stimpson Room slippers . . . many questions still tor- ment us, brought about by the show . . . the unsolved one concerning the girl we all know who has four meetings at once . . . does a ghost blink the lights at quarter of ten . . . And who stole those prints anyhow? 12
