...looking for talent among the students here to contribute to the show. If you, or your wife or sweetheart, etc. can sing, or play anything from the violin to the bazooka, or if you are an amateur magician, please see Major Fay or Ensign Bailey. Here's a chance for somebody to work up a good barbershop quartet. If you're interested, even if you're looking for the other three members, let us know...

...working overtime, the Lunts manage to scrape off some Behrman rust. They also enliven the evening with a series of vaudeville acts. Actor Lunt dances, does magician's tricks, fakes tightrope walking. Actress Fontanne goes into a trance, does half a striptease. Two other characters indulge in a crap game.
