Shirley Kuch, ۰ “PENNELLITES ON PARADE On April 8th and 9th the seniors and faculty presented a bril- liant revue Pennellites on Parade at Stimson Memorial ۳1811۰0۳7 the opening night the hall was packed to the aisles. The second night found another large and responsive audience. Both students and fec- ulty gave a fine performance, flavored with music and drama, spiced with humor and topped off with the intricate dance routines of the Floradora Girls and Miss Reilly, coach. The revue was climated by the assembling of the entire cast on the stage as a rag picture of Generel MacArthur was assembled. The success of the production was lergely due to Mr. White who with the members of the cast, worked untiringly. The seniors take this occasion to thank tho members of the other classes, who participated in the show, for their generous Support and cooperation. Shirley Kuch JUNIOR ACTIVITIES This year twenty-four of us juniors came back to find ourselves back in the same room we had last year. That suited us all right bo- cause it saved us walking upstairs.
