Acting as Master and Mistress of Ceremon- ies, Norman McClain and Laura Reasoner ' pun ' the time away between PRV acts. Pleasant Run Varieties revealed many original acts done by talented Howeites. Everything from piano solos to comedy skits as executed with much skill. One comedy skit, Grades 1 — 12, served as the theme of the event. Another comical skit was John Easterday ' s oration If Mother Goose Met Spiro Agnew . On the serious side, Maty Lau performed a ballet to Love Theme From Romeo and Juliet and a musical duet by Steve Morgan and Lenny Farmer. The Boys ' and Girls ' Octets, the Madrigals and the Girls Gym Team also displayed their talents. Laura Reasoner and Norman Mc- Lain served as Mistress and Master of ceremonies. John Easterday ' s comical editorial about the television censor stole the show. Rock bands are always a part of the annual Pleasant Run Varieties.
