Thespians to
Homecoming
The Thespian Centennial Homecoming Queen was se
lected Monday night but her name won't be disclosed until
the finale of the Thursday night production of "Take Ten."
The original Thespian revue gets underway at 8 p.m. in
Schwab Auditorium.
She was chosen by the coaches and members of the foot-
ball team from among five final
ists. The five finalists were se
lected by the faculty members on
the Thespian Board of Control.
The finalists were asked five
questions by the men, and then
the queen was selected.
The five finalists are Valerie
Fife, Joyce Koch, Ruth Kronen
wetter, Lyn Myers, and Barbara
Rhinehart.
Student Authors
`Take Ten' was written by
Michael Rosenfeld, Phillip Wein,
a member of the cast, and Louis
Fryman, director of the show.
Rosenfeld wrote the songs, and
all three wrote the script.
The show traces the history of
the University from five years
before its beginning in 1855. Each
of the ten scenes represents a
decade, and the main expansion
in the University's program dur
ing each decade, Fryman said.
The show will open with the
prologue "Harrisburg Or Bust,"
and a skit depicting the first
meeting of the Agricultural So
ciety of America, which founded
the University.
Comedy Scene
The first scene is a comedy
scene showing the society's first
meeting where they are deciding
on the need for a school, its name,
and where it should be located.
It ends with the song "Centre is
the Center Of Education."
A ventriloquist act with Wein
and his dummies Elmer and Syl
vester Pine will do a parody on
the first- students on campus in
the second scene.
The skit in the third scene will
center around the coming of the
first coeds to the campus, and
the founding of the first societies
on ctiMpiis. It will feature the
song "We're A .Very Secret So
ciety," and , .the "Dance of the
First Coeds." . •
Depicts •Football Team
. "Professional Posers" a song
depicting the first football team
Crown
Queen
will highlight the fourth scene.
The fifth scene will parody the
first Thespian production "The
Rivals." Songs in the scene are
"I'm the, Leading Man and I'm
the Leading - Lady," "C ra z y
Corny-Goofy," "I Know It's You,"
and "Boys,Will Be Girls."
Opening the second act will be
the decade of the 1900's when the
first summer session was organ
ized.
Religious Scene
The second scene in the second
act will contain the religious
"That's My Prayer," to be sung
by Michael McKay. This centers
around World War I.
In the third scene the roaring
twenties come out in full sway
with Stanley Jacobs and Patric'a
Sherman singing "Love Affair of
1925," and "Liquor Is Quicker."
The fourth scene is a comedy
scene which takes place during
the depression and Robert Little
stars.
Coed Problem
The problem of too many men
and not enough women on cam
pus during the war years is the
theme of the fifth scene starring
James Jimmiro, Dominque Lan
dro, and Gloria Litz.
The finale centers around the
crow n i n g of the Centennial
Homecoming Queen and a Uni
versity anniversary song is dedi
cated. The queen will be escorted
to the throne by Fryman.
