t D presented by VlHlilY SHUW The most important and probably longest remembered event in connection with V. J. H. S, talent is our annual Mariners' Variety Show. This year, l939, gave to the student body and community a top-notch show with all performers turning in splendid performances. Grumps, a crotchety, bitter old man was excellently portrayed by Gale Graham. Another stellar performer was little Toddy, played by Russell Hodgson, who encouraged the troup of performers that were stranded by a halted train to strut their stuff. Patient, understanding Grandma was ably done by Genoa O'Neal. The time was early dusk and the place was Grump's garden. ..lnto the calm, peaceful night came the chatter of worried actors and actresses who had wandered into the vicinity of the garden, The performers, who, finally, with the aid of Toddy and Grandma, went through their acts, included such stars and novelties as Bettyjean Wilcox and Chuck Kane in an accordian duet, beautiful, soft, harp music, played by Helen Pendle- ton, a novel comedy act done by Helen Wagner and Rose Peddicord, dis- guised as the old gray mare, some popular melodies by our songbird, Anne Broadbent, a song and saxaphone solo by our maestroes of melody, Melvin Kirkman and Walter lsensee, a novel and different Book of Nursery Rhymes, the Girls' Glee club, ably assisted by prominent seventh, eighth, and ninth graders, a sweet and hot popular ditty gayly sung by Margie Pren tice, the melodious Boys' Glee club in an amusing minstrel act, those two little iitterbugs, June Arnold and Irene Smith, who sang and rated three encores and a hilarious skit promoted by La Verne Weisel, Wilbur Jensen and other H i -Y boys. Other numbers on the program included several tap dances by Bgty Ragland Patty Fix, Betty Higgins, and Georgianna Hedges, a current song by swing ster de luxe Colleen Watson, a charming combination soft shoe and tap dance by Mary Martha Morgan, a beautiful aria, ltalian Street Song by Nina Johnson. Pat Atwood proved her musical accomplishments by a difficult piano solo. Returning from her success of last year, Barbara Greenwood executed a complicated acrobatic dance, those musically inclined guitarists, Mickey Hem bree, Richard Hembree, Donald Wilson, and Elwood Case enraptured the list eners with melodies from Hawaii, and the ever-popular dance band set hands to clapping and feet to twitching with many popular swing numbers I 3 8 if 8 3 ilEHlH EHHUE PAHlY The popular Easter bunny made an unexpected visit to the annual eighth grade girls' party Thursday, March 30, in the lounge of the girls' gym.
