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
