were escorted to the rear of the auditorium by OMD mem¬
bers. Those students tapped were :

STAN GOLLERY
Ten whole years of Crafty Halls! And today’s Crafty was certainly one of the best
according to audience reaction. This tenth anniversary performance was reminiscent of
Crafty Halls of the past. It employed Crafty’s usual radio theme, the idea of a radio program
“on the air.”
The acts of the show were as varied as possible, in order to catch universal interest.
These individual acts, not an elaborate theme, were played up so that student talent would
be displayed to the best advantage — thus carrying out the original purpose of Crafty Hall.
The sixty minute production was originated in 1937 by Peter Prouse. It has since be¬
come a PJC tradition and a “must” for the last day of each semester. Mr. Prouse was on
hand today to compare his Crafty
of 1937 with today’s Crafty of
1947.
The show was opened by the
Crafty Hall theme song Deep
Purple. Then, nine acts, made
up of student talent, followed.
Bill Penny, emcee, connected
these acts with the theme.
Many favorite, old stand-by
names were featured in today’s
cast, as well as many names new
to PJC. The script was written
by an old hand at Crafty Halls —
Bill Penny. His hardworking ex¬
ecutive staff was made up of Lee
Krikorian, Harold Evans, Len
Fowler, Barbara Ritchie, Midge
Quenell, Ted Velasquez, Bob Car-
roll, Jack Culver, Ed Burns and
Bill Kay.
Well-Known Faces
Charlie Greenstreet was the
Crafty announcer. Variety was
provided by Mary and Martha,
the Dancing Dietz Sisters. Lois
Burwell sang a popular song in
her own style. Jack Larson and
Jerry Shup, campus comedians,
teamed up to present a routine.
Acts Varied
Musical interludes were pro¬
vided by the Crafty Hall Orches¬
tra, a seventeen piece aggrega¬
tion made up of PJC students.
Sally Moore was featured in the
vocal spotlight during her part of
the program. A monologue was
given by Janice Cattermole. The
Crafty Quartette, made up of
Frank Blauvett, Harry Taddeo,
Patty Ponto and George Jacobs,
was on hand to give out with
some close harmony.

Assembling at the dining room of the La Solana Inn, the finalists
of the fortieth annual Davis-Hall Oratory contest with the members
of Phi Rho Pi and faculty guests witnessed the awards given to the
winners of upper and lower division by Miss Mary Elizabeth Davis
of our language department. First place in upper division went to
Pies Griffin, and the lower division award went to Ronald Horowitz.
Their subjects both centered about racial understanding.
Miss Jessie K. Paxton was in charge of judging and each mem¬

the gathering and members of

test in 1907 with Mr. Hall.
