The guitar-strumming minstrel singer, followed by an introductory prologue de- scribing the scenes, set the mood for Shake- speare. Petruccio, a swaggering and determined gentleman from Verona, vowed to have Katherine to his wifen. Katherine, how- ever, the wild and temperamental daughter of a wealthy gentleman of Padua, was not quite so willing to yield to him. After num- erous threats, blows, and flying flower pots, Petruccio scored his triumph as supreme ruler over Katherine. In the final banquet scene, Kate, denouncing the lack of obedi- ence in women, shocked the assembled guests with her complete change of heart. Minstrel .................. ........................ J .

Kurt Weill's melodramatic folk operetta, Down in the Valleyv, filled the musical portion of the program. Thomas Bouche, unscrupulous real estate broker, held a mortgage on the Parsons' home. He invited young jenny to the Shadow Creek dance. Jenny, however. went with her lover, Brack Weaver. That night, midst the gaiety and laughter of a square dance, a heated argument arose which resulted in the murder of Thomas Bouche. The dramatic climax came as Brack, who had been sentenced to die, escaped from prison to spend his last few hours with Jenny. Throughout the production, the audience had the pleasure of listening to the score of inspirational ballads, moving love songs, and soft background music of the chorus.

Senior Spaghetti Dinner Old friends Betty Cronh and Ed Ruzicka dance together. junior zuaitressvs serve Miss Carmen a plate of string. ,kai V' , fl AT Ty?-Qian Ag, udging from the way they are eating, our faculty uests seem to he glad they were invited to the inner. The Spaghetti Dinner, an annual affair for seniors sponsored by the yearbook staff, was held on October 31. The cafeteria was transformed into an Italian restaurant with gay checkered table cloths and Chianti bottles. Authentic Italian posters were on the wall and the aroma of spaghetti sauce filled the room. Our chef, Jack Di Napoli, sported a baker's hat and apron and carried in his hand a large ladle. The junior girls served, carrying piping hot platters of spaghetti to the hungry sen- iors. One of the waitresses was so eager that she dropped a whole tray of dishes. The dinner, as informal as possible, was served in family style. To add some spice to the dinner, some- one added a four foot piece of string to Miss Carmen's serving. All heads turned to watch her struggle with her spaghetti,'. After dinner everybody's attention turned to two mysterious football players who were practicing passing in the dining room. To everybody's surprise, they were Miss Car- men and Miss Fulboam, two of our teachers. Someone suggested dancing, everyone agreed, and the boys rolled back the rugs . Tom Della Penna's intricate cha-cha steps brought much applause. The evening ended with the Bingo Dance liss Walsh, Mr. Van Dyken, Miss Ackerman, Miss Carissimo Louise, Edith, ana' Sarah.
