Frat Frolics Flout Facts, Fantasy
by Micky McLaughlin
Dwarfs, donkeys, dancers, and
Zouaves frolicked before appreciative audiences in the annual
presentation of Frat Frolics.
The least enjoyable parts of the
show were its length and several
off-color remarks which might
have cast undesirable reflection
on Greeks.
"The Enchanted Toyshop,"
was presented by Delta Zeta as
ihe opening number. It featured
a singing puppet, a dancing
doll, and a jack-in-ihe-box, but
the prancing donkey stole ihe
act.
A silent movie melodrama,
"Hearts and Flowers," was presented by Alpha Sigma Tau. An
exceptional job of pantomiming
was exhibited, especially by the
mother.
"And the Lamp Went Out" by
Sigma Tau Gamma was quite
similar to the preceding act since
it was also a melodrama with villain, heroine, and prop man.
Props were used to play up
words—"she turned a little pale
(pail)."
"Jonny's Big Day" presented a
great variety of talent from Phi
Sigma Epsilon. Jonny's dream included beautiful women, skillful
tumblers, a jazz combo, and a
fabulous rock and roll group.
"Big Fat World" was ihe Teke
iake-off on ihe Dave Garroway
show.  The  audience  first  saw
a South American combo group.
Next   ihe   "Jackson   Alumni
Slouaves" gave iheir interpretation   of   the   famous   Zouaves.
Marching and drills were done
to perfection.
The   wedding   of   Grace   Belly
and Prince Raineye in Phi Kappa
Phi's "They are Here" lent a humorous note. Gambling, Monoca's

favorite  pastime,   involved  most
of the wedding party.
Garthur Oddfry, complete with
Mony Tarvin, singing commercials, and talent scouts was presented by Alpha Sigma Alpha.
"Blue Suede Shoes" was pantomimed well.
One of the most effective acts
of the show was Pi Kappa Sig-
ma's dark, weird, and dramatic
"Beyond." The presentation used
spotlights only with effective
modernistic costumes and props.
Dragnet sneaked into the TAU's
"The Shooting of Dan McGrew,"
and humor was added to the
lively poem.
"Stranger in Paradise" was
an excellent display of modern
dance by Sigma Sigma Sigma. ,
The red lighting added a great
deal io ihe outer space setting
as ihe dancers emerged from a
space ship.
The secrets of a woman's beauty were revealed by Delta Sigma
Epsilon in "Lipstick, Powder, and
Paint," a delightful combination
of   singing   and   dancing.
Concluding the program was
Zeta Tau Alpha's hilarious version of an old fairy tale retold in
modern, "Snow White and the 37
Dwarfs." The 37 dwarfs looked
the part, and their unique dancing
abilities highlighted the show.   .
the play is under the direction of
Fred Bush, associate professor of
drama.
The setting for the play is a
trial  scene  in   a  modern  courtroom which is being designed and
constructed  by  members  of  the
class under the direction of Allan
Hammack, technical director.
The plot of ihe play concerns
Maxine Lowe, played by Karen
Burchard,  who is  on trial  for
ihe   murder   of  her   husband.
Many  witnesses  are   called  io
ihe stand by ihe various attorneys,   portrayed  by   Larry
Schlaack, Jerry Dahlmann, and
Jo Anne Hibberd.
What appears to be an compar-
itively easy  case, soon develops
into   a   very  dramatic   situation.
No one knows the solution until
the very end.
Others in the cast include:
Carol Richards, Marlene Wilton,
Ruth Ann Sowles, Clark Caterer,
Elna Mae Johns, Barbara Novy,
Sandra Seal, Wayne Lawton,
-Terry Guttrich, Grace Leppala,

Zeta Tau Alpha's "Snow White
and the 37 Dwarfs" and Tau
Kappa Epsilon's "Big Fat World"
were judged winners in last
week's Frat Frolics according to
Dick Florence, chairman.
The Zeta Taus were first
among eight sororities while the

six fraternities participating.

to disqualify the Delta Sigma Phi
act for an objectionable joke included in the Friday night's performance.
Phi Sigma Epsilon was also disqualified for going over the ten-
minute time limit set for all acts
during the Thursday night presentation.
It was also decided ihat ihe
two organizations would be put
on probation during next year's
presentation and if they again
break ihe rules governing ihe
show, APO will eliminate the
groups from ihe following
year's show.
The winners' names will be engraved on the Frat Frolics plaque
