best part, though, was when she
appeared* on the stage in an Aggie
T-shirt and white skirt to take
part in the jitterbug contest. Here
Doris showed that she could dance
as well with either the slow and
easy, medium, or extremely fast
friends of the dance floor. This
little blues singer also made a hit
with the great number of Aggies
who went back-stage immediately
after the show by singing the War
Hymn. I know because this little
j boy was back there.
Another solid part of the show
was the I^Iary Taft Dancers. Be
ginning the evening performance
was their privilege, and they real
ly started with a bang. They ap
peared in a very brief attire, which
pleased nearly everyone. However,
the grumblers could be heard whin
ing about the shameful waste of
material in these war-time cos
tumes. Probably the most unique
part of the routine was the fact
that these dancers performed on
roller skates. Of the six girls in
this team there seemed to be only
one who was outstanding. This
fact was brought out by her ability
to use her voice as well as her

skates to the seeming enjoyment
of all.
Probably the most talented one
in the entire show was Marshelle,
who is very likely one of the best
contortionists in the country. Her
grace in performing her many in
tricate movements was surprising
to all and many fellows had to go
home immediately after the show
to rub their ribs to make sure
they hadn’t punched through their
skin. This was caused by Mar-
shelle’s placing her forearms on
the table with the rest of her arms
held in a vertical position. From
this position she would raise her
legs to a vertical position also,
when he boogied the War Hymn.
The whole show was excellent en
tertainment for everyone here at
College.
