Committee to Aid
Vaudeville Acts
in Production
Junior Vaudeville chairman,
Mary Glenn Rinne, will hold the
first meeting of prospective act
chairmen this Friday. Among
the many subjects concerning
the Vaudeville that will be discussed, the new act sponsor
plans will be explained.
In short, this new sponsorship
plan will do away with individual act sponsors. Instead there
will be a committee of six sponsors who will administer equal
advice and assistance among the
various acts.
The faculty advisory board
will consist of Miss Caryl Gaines,
Miss Jane Hampson, Philip
Hirsch, Paul Justice, Tom Preble, and the leader of the pit
band for the performance.
"Each faculty member is specialized to a different field," explains Mary Glenn Rinne. In
this way the acts will be able to
benefit from help to all aspects
which might cause problems.
Yearbook Ad
Deadline Monday
"Unless we have the goal for
advertising filled, we will have
to take out 16 pages which will
probably include some activities
and many of the school life pictures that we have counted on,"
explains Bobbie Baldwin, Annual
editor.
As of the last count, only 10
out of the 16 pages allotted for
advertising have 'been sold. These
last six pages MUST be filled by
October 15, the deadline for the
advertising section of the Annual.
Since the deadline is this coming Monday, seniors have this
weekend in which to wrap up the
advertising campaign.
"Six pages wouldn't be hard
to fill if every senior made at
least one effort to obtain an
ad," states Nancy Holsapple,
Annual advertising editor. Continuing, she adds, "Everyone
should look into any personal
contacts he has with business
firms."
Those seniors who had sold
ads by Tuesday include John
Allerdice, Eileen Bill, Sharon
Blair, J a r n e 11 and Larnell
Burks, Eddye Clemmons, Andra
Crawford, Chris Duckwall, John
