In all sincerity, Miss Garbrick appreciates those boys who so roluctantly
dropped their text books and rolled up their sleeves to excutc "Operation
Piano Shift" in a manner which would make the Uncle Sam's service detachments
turn green with envy. . p

approach in two waves, and with the assistance of some rear guaird action, bold
ly picked up that nasty piano and with one major drive-tho big lift-scored an
undisputed victory-tho piano was finally in its proper place-the church floor.
This operation-relocating the piano from the stage to the church floor,
was performed in "above and beyond" style by Joe Arden, Paul Bain, John Carr,
Jack Donovan, Jack Ciocca, Manny Barbcito, Ed Eisiminger, Norm Hall, George
Mastrianni, John Henderson, Marv Edelstcin, Joo Scarcclla, Eugene O'Noil, John
Salko, Tony Pecome and "MiSe", all under direct orders from the high comraand-
