AND MRS. SHELDEN P. HAYES, ADVISER. 14 AUTUMN, 1942 Frenisti Frolic at Mardi Gras ALL were bedecked in gay costumes Hallowe'en; Frenisti club the hosts; and a prise was awarded the best-dressed couple. Organisations contributed to the decorations by furnishing attractive booths, and a prise was also awarded the best of these. The celebration got under way early in the day, beginning with a morning assembly of blacked faces, patched Levis, and plaid shirts. Pat Jurgens, the only female and non-Frenisti member, mystified with her "carbon copy" of an Ethel Waters' version of "Amen." Joe Jenson and Eugene Kingsford combined to present a piano-violin hoe-down that was the best heard at W. C. in many a day. Carl Black, too, was worth watching, particularly with his imitation of Bill Robinson, famed Negro tap-dancer. Despite old jokes and an occasional off-note by the quartet, the program moved faculty assembly chairman O. Whitney Young to offer a cash prise to that club which could excel in forthcoming productions. The Mardi Gras, though threatened by an application of varnish instead of wax to the ballroom floor, was satisfactory, and the necessary transfer to the ladies' gym called forth an apology from President H. A. Dixon. JUDGES' DECISION WAS UNANIMOUSLY IN FAVOR OF STAN HURST AND MARJORIE MERRILL FOR ORIGINAL COSTUMES. Minstret Quartet RULON BROUGH, DEE DIXON, STAN HURST AND CHARLES BUACK, WERE FEATURED IN ASSEMBLY. Tap Dancing CHARLES BLACK, THE STAR OF THE SHOW.
