Fashions for the small fry were from Ideal Togs; for “juniors,” from Appel’s, was from Kantor’s. In the center back of the stage and the young men’s clothing was a large yellow and blue “Band- box’ was the center of attraction as the models appeared one by one from that point and come forward Mrs. William H. McCloskey, commentator and general chair- man for the event, welcomed the capacity crowd of parents and be- gan the show by presenting the first models in their “‘nighty-nite” wear. Sandra Shafchuk, 6 years old, wore a pale blue satin robe and a nylon rosebud patterned nighty. Her young sister, Frances, wore a reversible quilted and brightly printed TV robe over aqua tricot Pajamas. Their little brother, Chucky, 3, ‘was more interested in his musi- eal push toy but he proudly wore @. green and white checked seer- sucker robe with matching pa- jamas, They walked very calmly and seriously to the center of the stage, much to the amusement of the audience. The commentator asked them what they planned to do next. Chucky, still intent on his toy, seemed content to stay there for the duration of the show, but with a few words of encour- agement they walked over to her and she in turn helped them back stage. Mary Ellen Jordon, a darling first grader, was next and she wore a pale pink broadcloth with | an all over eyelet embroidery in white, with plain straps over the shoulder and a dropped and open sleeve.’ Her Italian braided straw hat completed a very Eastery out- fit. Linda Maguire wore a white polished cotton with blue hearts as the print. The hearts on the bodice were accented with rhinestones. Her large leghorn of Italian woven straw dipped in front with a large white rose in the center and the streamers were black velvet. Pen- ny Gleason modeled a petti-blouse combination of polished broad- cloth in cherry red and white. The blouse was imported white organdy and the fitted weskit and scallops on the skirt were red. The boys were just as profession- al as the girls and the first boy out was William Rothamel in a Tropicanna jacket in the popular golden rod color. His trousers of washable rayon and nylon blended perfectly. Little Diane Artman wore a/| creation of blue nylon threaded with silver over a matching self| slip. John Austin sported a navy | linenized-cotton shirt with accents | of white and red on the collar. Nan Anderson wore a polished chambray blouse and skirt in char- coal and yellow with a daisy motif.

It was form fitting with a full skirt. Pam Enander wore a luscious pink nylon and cotton casual dress with white em- broidery detail, and the popular small cap sleeve. Elsie Faraldo wore a cotton print with purple and green tulip design with. the empire waist, Henrietta Asheraft, out of her element somewhat as she usually wears a turtle neck sweater and jeans since she has.a couple of horses, wore a two piece green linen with a yellow and white border print on the full gathered skirt. Jackie Delaney modeled a white polished cotton accented with butterflies and rhinestones. Gloria Muniz, senior president and bride-elect for May 30 wore a sleeveless navy blue crepe dress with a turtle neck and pleated bodice. The jacket was beige linen with short sleeves.

Henry Alvarez modeled a Palm Beach suit with a white shirt with button down collar, Paul Collins wore tennis slacks in white duck and a white cotton pullover sport shirt with a snappy sport belt and white sneak- ers.

A matching polished straw braided bonnet completed a de- mure outfit for her age group. Dex- ter Chadwick of the 7th grade wore hounds tooth checked trousers with a white Tropiconga jacket so well liked by the Keyy West young men. William Koenig stepped out with a jaunty pace in a two piece linen Suit of navy blue with short pants and short sleeved shirt. The white | Stripes on the front of the shirt had @ red and navy design worked on for a finished and popular style for a little boy. Bobby Diaz wore a muted plaid blue and grey tailored jacket with the plain grey flannel trousers.

She was escorted by two boys in their First Communion suits; George Eyer wore a double breast- ed cotton gabardine and Clement Dendau wore a double breasted | white cotton washable gabardine | suit. They all looked very solemn | and proper while the choir sang. | The choir was in the orches- tra pit in front of the stage and | they looked so cute with large bows made of purple and yellow | crepe paper as they sang the ever Popular song for this time of the year, “Easter Parade,” and it| ‘was a rousing hit. Edward McLaughlin of the 1st grade began the actual Easter Pa- rade, although many of the num- bers shown in the first portion of the show were very dressy and Eastery looking. He wore a taupe | grey single breasted summer weight cotton gabardine with self- belted and zipper front. He didn’t wear his hat that had been ori-/ ginally planned — seems as though | a separate bag of hats got mis-| laid, but they looked cute anyway. First grader Myles McCarthy look- | ed like an angel in his navy blue | silk suit. He is the one that pan- icked every one with his artifical | | grin. The twins, Christopher and Char-| les Surprenant, just about stole the | show, in identical clothes but in| different colors. They wore single breasted oxford. style suits with | white shirts, jaunty bow ties and | nylonized linen jaunty hats. After | much confusion and pushing one another, they came back for a pic- ture with little Pam Donnelly who was wearing a blue and white tis- sue gingham covered with the white swiss imported organdy and blue satin sash. Ann Stuart Haseltine looked like a little yellow chick in her frock of yellow prima cloth with tiny puffed sleeves and a pinafore over- dress of swiss organdy eyelet. Lit- tle April Lever wore a swiss im- | Ported organdy over orchid polish- ed cotton and a orchid satin sash. Her bonnet was starched linen trimmed with colorful flowers and balck velvet binding. Lana Kakol wore a striped pink and white broadcloth with white organdy ov- verskirt.

Karen Kakol wore an aqua underdress topped with the white eyele. Leanne Glass wore red and white peppermint stripe nylon frock with black velvet sash with a demure collar to match her two blonde pigtails. A Italian silk hat and bag set of straw made her look quite ready for the Easter bunny. The curtain closed after the Fashion Show and Mrs. McCloskey asked a budding reporter, -with camera in hand, to pick a ticket for the door prize which was a $10 gift certificate from the Beach- comber. The girls from the Ist grade were in place for the first skit of the musieal half of the show. They all looked darling, all dressed up with teddy bear in hand and sang ‘Me and My Teddy Bear.” They had been perfectly rehearsed by their teacher Sister James of Jesus, and received a wonderful ovation. The second graders from both schools were divided in two groups and the first 50 children did a “‘Mexi- can Foik Dance” and the second group a “Danish Folk Dance.” Each group was dressed in white with yellow and red crepe paper aprons and paper doily hats for the Danish group and crepe paper serapes and large Mexican hats for the boys. There were 30 girls and 10 boys in the “Easter Roll” and they came out in London Bridge fash- ion. Bo Thompson dressed like a perfect little bunny came hopping under the bridge on one side and Frank Barto came hopping out un- der the other. The boys and the two bunnies passed out the assort- ment of Easter baskets and help- ed fill them while the girls sang “Here Comes Peter Cottontail.” While they sang the second version of the same song, Jeff Collins dress ed like a farmer came stalking out to catch the naughty rabbit, Frank Barto, who had his white fluffy tail shot off but managed to get away. The fourth and fifth grades, a selected group from each room, did a clever skit by singing “I’m An Old Cowhand” by a fire and “Home On The Range.” ‘Old Tex” proceeded to tell them how this | particular ranch got its name and |a massacre took place with In- |dians whoopin’ and hollerin’ and | everyone ended up quite “daid.” The winners for the poster con- | test were announced with Barbara | O'Brien winning 1st place for the | 6th grade with $5.00 from the club president, Mrs. Hinkle and a $5.00 | gift certificate from Paul Sher; to Tony Demerrit, a $5.00 ist prize |from the Mothers Club; to Betty Rojas and Pat Holik another $5.00 gift certificate from Paul Sher. The last skit consisted of girls from the sixth and seventh grades jali clad in rainwear and singing | “Singing In The Rain,” and Victor |Larson did a fast tap to ‘April | Showers” and a medley of “Sing-| |ing in the Rain.” | Baldwin’s Nursery decorated the stage, and Joe Darcey, USN play- ed the piano. Tuesday, March 30, 1954 THE Prom Depends On! Junior Variety Show Tonight Variety is the word for the an-| nual Junior Class show at the high school auditorium. It’s a hilarious production from start to finish, and the opening night audi- ence was almost in hysterics over some of the antics of the cast— and the costumes! Curtain time is 8:15 p. m. and it’s your last chance to see the 1954 Junior Variety Show. The class hopes to raise enough money for the Junior Senior Prom, the Junior picnic and a start on the gift they will give to the school as Seniors. This year’s show encompasses everything from a romantic scene in a park, and hillybillys dressed in gunny sacks, to a conga line in traditional Cuban costumes, and a real “meller drmmer.” The last act purportedly takes | place in a Hollywood night club and among the “‘stars’” who en- tertain are Jerry Lewis, played by Bobby Delgado, and Dean Mar- tin, who is really Kenneth Kerr. Joann Atwell impersonates Rita Hayworth as she sings “The Heat is On.” Aly (Frank Hood) Kahn appears with a whole harem of dancing girls. Sally Spencer imitates Mari- lyn Monroe singing “‘Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” while Joe DiMaggio; played by Gordon Cru- gar looks on. Then Judy Garland, arrives and dances to “Get Hap- py.” Judy is played by talented Gale Varela. All the performers and mem- bers of the back stage crew are members of the Junior Class. They’ve made most of their cos- tumes and scenery, and they’re real anxious to see a full house again tonight. The admission isn’t very much, and don’t you remember how hard you worked to have a really nice Junior-Senior Prom? Junior Class sponsors are Mrs. Mary Milner, Mrs. Edgar Stark, Miss Elaine Eskew, Mrs. Pantaleo, and Mr. Lazier. ZX-11 OWC Meets At Cifelli’s Last Wednesday The ZX-11 Officer’s Wives club held the first luncheon of the Spring season at Cifelli’s Restaur- ant, Wednesday, March 24.

Makin were in charge of arrangements and planned a de- licious Italian styie meal including spaghetti and meatballs, and green Salad, topped off with hot coffee and spumoni, an unusual Italian frozen dessert.

After dessert, Mrs. W. R. Schu- eneman called a short business meeting and introduced two new members of the group, Mrs. J. R. Melton and Mrs. G. E. Scott. Mrs. E. F. Welsh, guest of Mrs. C. P.
