1932 Cedrus Yearbook

CEDRUS COLLEGIATE CABARET Something new and unique was introduced into the history of our college on the night of December 16, 1931, when the Y. W. C. A. sponsoreda cabaret. The purpose of this entertainment was to add to the coffers of this organization. The gymnasium was attractively decorated in Christmas colors, and tables were placed on the floor. A burning candle, which added to the beauty of the occasion, was placedon each table. Miss Lenora Skinnell was the gracious hostess and presided over the cabaret in a very pleasing manner. Each act was cleverly announced by our hostess, assistebd y Miss Martha Waddle. For the excellent music we can thank Miss Dorothy Lunsford, Mr. Eddie Brigner and Mr. Leo Reed. Miss Lunsford charmed everyone with her popular melodies. Miss Skinnell and Miss Waddle sang us two beautiful selections which helped to start the program and get everyone into the proper mood. Other acts were well presented. Miss Lois Cultice sang some baby num- bers and was assisted by a baby chorus. Viola Harbaugh spoke two baby num- bers and she and Miss Cultice could ably be called "baby stars." A one-act play was presented by Gladys Bumgarner, Martha Waddle, Poris Hartman, Eloise McLaughlin and Wilma Auld, and a clever pantomine "Modern Maud Muller," by Ruth White, Jane West, Marion Hostetler and Joseph Free. Miss Eleanor Bull was our prima donna and her selections pleased all. The dancers for the occasion were the Misses Mary Ellen Crawford, Mary Catherine Pro- basco, Lucille Stroup, and Rachel Douthett. A gypsy dance was given by Miss Stroup and Miss Douthett. Little Frances Patton pleased all by her graceful dan- cing. An old-fashioned dress parade and a singing school led by Miss Skinnell ended the program. At the intermission refreshments were sold, and for this part of the pro- gram we must thank Miss Sarah Margaret Chance. Due to the cooperation of the committees and those taking part, the cab- aret was a success. We hope one of these will be given every year. R. C. D. Seventy-one
