HAMP REVIEW vier, who so patiently coached the play, and to Miss Bidwell, our pi' anist. VICE VERSUS VARIETY On October 25th, the Mask and Wig Club presented a Variety Show. The audience was seated and waiting when the curtain went up and the Gay Nine' ties chorus number came on. fThose blue frilly skirts were cer' tainly something!j Next came Goldie Locks the Door , a simple but most ingenious skit employing the use of such puns as leaving one's scent by dropping a penny on the floor. The Denning Sisters then gave us a few of their new recordings. Ruthie Hibbs tripped on next as a bare'foot country hick, singing Feudin' and Fight' in' jackie Foster carried on with What's the Use of Wondering and Something Sort of Grandishw. The first half closed with some typical Hamp jitterbugging nobly performed by Rosie and Muffy. After the intermission and refresh' ments of cider and doughnuts, the show continued. The curtain rose on Little Nell , a skit chanted with a rhythmic downbeat by Wendy, Connie, Marty, and Muf' fy. Next come the Sweater, the Sarong, and the Peek'a'boo bangs. With the Sweater modeled by Sesh and Rosie, the Sarong by Mattas and Karhol, and Wendy and Bar' bara Chase as the Peek'a'boo bangs, it made quite a hit for it' self. Following some barber shop crooning by jackie, Sesh, and Mat' tas, Holly Veeder gave us a little of Chicago with These Foolish Things and You Go to My Head done up in typical night' club style. We know the audience enjoyed the show as much as the Dramatic Club enjoyed giving it. JANIE, YOU STOLE MY HEART Mr. Colburn stamped across the floor and yelled, Hey, Lucille! and Janie was on. Once again the talents of Williston Acad' emy and Hamp were combined to produce this very amusing comedy on March Sth in the Northampton High School Auditorium. Under the able drection of Mr. Boardman and Mrs. Pearce Janie actually developed from absolutely nothing into a well'done play in very little time. Mr. Colburn was played by Grant MacMacking Mrs. Colburn by Wendy Hicks, Janie Colburn by Marty Peck, Paula Rainey by Audrey Morgan, Bernadine Dodd by Rosemary Thurber, Scooper Nolan by Joe Stevensg Tina by jane Mattas, Rodney by Ray Wal' lisg Mr. Van Brunt by Bob Millin' tong Mrs. Laurence by Shirley Car' ter, Dick Laurence by Scotty Mar' row and Dead'Pan by Lindy Han- son. The play was about the life of a typical teen'ager and her family during the war years and their trials with the army and war'time inconveniences. The players had a wonderful time doing the play, and hoped the audience enjoyed it half as much as they enjoyed working on it. THEATRE It was decided this year to pro' duce three one act plays for our fall production, in place of the usual long one. Wendy Hicks, the Dramatic Club president, and Mrs. Pearce chose the plays that were later presented in the Northampton High School theater. Each was dif' ferent and appealing in its own way. The first of these plays was When The Whirlwind Blows, a dramatic tragedy about Russian peasants during the revolution. Anna was played by Louise Wil' liamsong the old woman by Ann Karfiolg and Sally Allen took the part of Madame. The Maker of Dreams , the second play, was a fantasy. The title role was played by Wendy Hicks. Connie Duane portrayed Pierrette while Marty Peck was costumed as Pierrot. The final curtain fall was on the comedy When Shakespeare's La' dies Meet. The more serious la' dies, Juliet and Desdemona, were portrayed by Betsy Cole and Bar' bara Bennett. Dry humor was add' ed by Frances Hazlehurst as Portia. Katherine, Nancy Tuttle and Cleo' patra, Muffy Morgan were the more lively characters. The de' ranged Ophelia was played by Rosie Thurber. Tragedy, fantasy, and comedy, all made possible by the hard work' ing stage crew and the numerous committees, provided a most amus' ing and delightful evening for those who attended. LIFE ON A RESERVATION by Frances Hazlehurst and Shirley Carter Basking contentedly in the warm western sun of the waste lands of the Northampton desert lolled doz' ens of lazy little lizards. Scouting the reservation was a regiment from the Army of Armadillos. These Armadillos patrolled regu' larly, kept order, and made sure the less important duties of the liz' ards were attended to. Among these chores were classes for the brain, exercises on the mesa to keep their scales in good shape, study hours, pow'wows for extra' curricular interest in different sub' jects, chapel in the ceremonial Ki' vas, required activities in Smythe Prairie Dog Hole. Another tribal custom is their weekly frolic with the hideous gila monsters, which slither and slouch over across the sandy wastes from Notsilliw. Of course, the nest must be kept tidy. Miss Python squeezes a neat rock bed out of them. To make certain l
