...Leaguers trudging down the reception line as another girl entirely, so everybody had the most awful time sorting out Elizabeth Funston, 18, Virginia Guest, 18, Jocelyn Kress, 18, and Fernanda Kellogg, 18. But then the ritual began as always with the Coming Out Waltz, followed by the Garland Dance, the Polka Sleigh Ride and the Christmas Star, in which the gals kneel in the dark, hold candles and sing carols. Meyer Davis' band struck up Every thing's Coming Up Roses, swung into rock 'n' roll for the watusi, frug and monkey lovers. And before anybody...

Jack ("Thank God for Goldwater") Edwards, William L. Dickinson, Glenn Andrews, John H. Buchanan...
...spent so much time doing paradiddles with his toe-taps. He danced with Shirley Temple in Little Miss Broadway, with much leggier chorines in Top of the Town. He played opposite Ginger Rogers in Tom, Dick and Harry (Murph was Tom), hoofed with Judy Garland in Little Nellie Kelley, romped with Cinemoppet Liz Taylor in Cynthia, and twirled in Two Girls on Broadway with Starlet Lana Turner. All that Murphy will recall for the record about that picture was that "Lana was lazy. But when she put on a sweater, no one cared about her working habits...
