SUN 'PARTY ROIVIPTLY at 7 o,ctoctc on Saturday, November 28, the Dials spilled into the gym eager to discover what the tigers, bunnies, ducks, and lions were up to. The dinner started Ott with a bang when an over-excited card table collapsed. As they dove into their luscious chicken, X . they were lavishly entertained by those far-famed min- , strets, Nonny Carry and Caret Berry, who also conducted a rather novel quiz program wtih faculty and students. Then on with the show. Out sauntered several rather taut- ative individuals full of tantalizing tidbits of scandal about -N a certain Gertie and her best friend, Mabel. When these two First appeared, we could hardly recognize our old friends, Liz and Middie, whose Hmetodiousw voices now rose in a plaintiff lament to their unpop- utarity. Even the waitresses could Find no solution to their problem - how to nab Homer and Horace. These same damsels found their efforts to better their predicament completely futile as the cute little ditty, MNobody Makes a Pass at Me,,, so aptly put it. To the rescue came Jeanne Batch, the cover girl of Good Housekeeping, who, gayty bedeclced in yellow overalls and red shirt, proceeded to assert that an their prob- lems would be solved if only they followed the directions of the Good Housekeeping ads, Her First idea was that Gertie and Mabel become members of a strict reducing course, so ably conducted by Mary Studebaker. Pep appeal seemed to be the next important factor advertised on the Good Housekeeping pages, so why not try it? Lootc what it did for Joanie Woodford! For a perfect ettect they used Hlpana for the smite of beauty . From head to toe Liz and Middie, our heroines, were now to be dressed to per- fection. Frou-Frou and Lulu helped by creating two little numbers which, if not the most becoming, were definitely novel in design. Joan Pattersonys fashion show was a definite success, due principally to the attractive mannequins. Among this varied selection, Gertie and Mabel could hardly help Finding some creation that seemed made just for newly-molded Hgures. Naturally, a good complexion is a necessity, and how Ponds can give you this and a handsome man for a husband, was clearly shown by Charlotte Perry, the girl who used Pondys, and Hope Griggs, her handsome lover. Janice Tompkins proved, without a shadow ot a doubt, that to tive with someone who drinks cottee, containing caffeine, is a fate worse than death. Therefore, the girls were told to take Santa and rid themselves of those terrible cottee nerves which made them intolerable to those they loved. Qur two friends were next impressed with the fact that divorce and dish-pan hands are partners, so they played safe and used Rinso. Last but not least, Gertie and Mabel were cautioned on their etiquette by seeing Frannie Robertson and Tootie Chapman clash violently with their conscience - Priscilla Huttard r- on the subject of Emily Post. At last the big moment came when, after hours of toil, Liz and Middie claimed their heroes, in the love story of the month. The curtain tc-:H and what remained of Hubbyys voice gave out after having spurred us on hour after hour. The ptay was over and a tremendous success but there remained in the hearts of all Suns the greatest of gratitude to Charlotte, Perry, and Kip for their untiring ettorts. 102

DIAL PARTY N Saturday, Decemher 5, the Suns and Faculty were escorted through the gym door into a matte-loelieve Stage-door Canteen. They just had time to seat themselves American flags and corsages tor all when the fun hegan. The show started with a group ot sailors, loolqing very ship- A shape in long trousers and crisply-starched middies, who sang a song entitled This ls the Army, Charlotte Dearlu After time tor a healthy round ot applause and a hite to . comfortably at various tahles which were decorated with E i l to eat, the portals were again tlung open to admit Linda Scheerer and Diane Chaney on roller slcates, who had cast aside the Walker unitorm to done the flashy regalia of a colored couple. Following their dance a chorus of smoothies in pastel sweaters lent their melodious voices to the strains ot an original and very witty song, How Ahout Me? , which was sung to the military police seated at a nearhy tahle. Next in quiclc succession came Chiclcie Slcouras and Marianna Cox doing a jitter- hug routine, Poor Youn, a song sung hy Eileen Josten, Margie Powers, dressed as a recruit reading a love letter, Pat Hoplcins escorted hy Military Police singing Down and Qutn, a radio program featuring a line ot chatter hy Lela Dipson and showing the tront line ot audience, a clever recitation hy Eddie Noll and Barlvara Straw, an imper- sonation ot Hitler, Miissolini, Hirohito, and Goering hy Liz Wynegar, the Sampson Sisters, and Winkie Hadley, and a snappy interpretation ot a modern lyric hy Betty Barr. Following loud applause, our attention was drawn to a neighboring tahle, where Hope Neshit, dressed as a private in the army, and Annie Auger loolcing scrumptious in a hlue evening dress, were discussing the merits ot the show. It didnyt talce us long to catch on to the tact that the tloor show had turned into a play with the ahove- mentioned as the hero and heroine, respectively. The hero apparently had mistalten a tlesh and hlood general tor part ot the show, and had tween quite insulting. Ot course, the general tNaoma Donnelleyl turned out to he the heroineys father and was simply furious. Our giggles ot amusement turned to gurgles ot horror when some important papers the general was carrying were stolen, and the comedy turned into a spy story in which everyhody, particularly Ronnie Solhert, as the rough and tough chief ot the military police, was frantically searching tor them. It was later revealed that the papers had heen horrowed hy the heross idiot hrother fDiane Stinchfieldl, who was perfectly harmless, except that he had a mania tor secrets. However, the tension ot the drama was relieved hy Dotty Wardenys singing, and two sailors, Suzi Kennedy and Connie Hart, who craclced joltes till our sides ached. The denouement came when the idiot hrother, who ltnew nothing about the trouhle he had caused in matting ott with the papers, dramatically extricated them from under Charlotte Hilhhards chairl As a grand Finale, all the sailors, plus the cast, marched hy tours around the room singing UHow Ahout a Cheer tor the Navyn, forming a large V in front ot the stage, and then sang the National Anthem ending with the school song and cheers. 105
