FOR OUR NEXT NUMBER . . . begins Judy Bell as she introduces each number of the Follies. Judy presided as Mistress of Ceremonies of the 1962 Anti-Van Follies. This year marked the sixteenth annual Anti-Van Party. This party was originated in an effort to combat vandalism on Halloween night.

• ' v.. ' i ■ - i Y j V 1 f i m HERE SHE COMES . . . Choosing the Miss America from these beautiful queens in their flowing dresses and latest hair styles could be quite a problem. The finalists, being judged on their beauty, poise, and intelligenc:, are Dorenda (David Barton), Leona (Leo Jones), Donna (Don Brown), Edwinna (Edwin Fletcholi), Tiawona (Terry Jadlot), and Chorlena (Butch Fry). Judging presented a huge and perplexing question, but finally a decision was reached to the disappointment of all the losing contestants. One Hundred Fifty Perform In Follies 1946 was the year which witnessed the origin of the Anti-Van follies. Then, it was not called the follies, but was simply a talent show which was presented by those who won the try-outs. As the Anti-Van has grown to be an important event of the school year, the talent show has become a highlight of the evening. It has gradually become the responsibility of the speech and music de- partments and is now known by the name of Anti-Van Follies. Besides solos, group singing, and dancing, the Follies are en- larged both in quantity and quality by humorous skits. Follies usually include one hundred to two hundred students in participa- tion, and they provide an hour and a half of fun. This section has become a very popular part of the Anti-Van and provides the most all-inclusive section of this party.
