WHITE FALCON
Saturday, December 22, 1962
** Keflavik Feature of the Week **

COMEDY CUT-UPS—Denis and Brendon Kerns along with Tom
Moore were a complete success when they brought “down the house”
with their mimicking.
DANCE TEAM—Vicky Busbice (Front) and Mrs. Carolyn Shank do
a dance routine to a song by Mrs. Perry (Not shown).
FAMILY GETOGETHER—The “Dirty Dozen” come on strong with
their version of “Melancholy Baby.”
High School Minstrel Show Scores Huge Success
By Laurie Fitch
Something has taken Mahan by
storm! Shades of the ‘ole South
drift from Mrs. Settles’ room. Yes,
I’m referring to that musical
smash, “Minstrel Memories,” put
on by the high school Glee Club
on December 12th.
From the moment the first song
was sung, you could almost taste
those hominy grits and feel that
southern sun warming your face.
The numbers ranged from “Melan-
choly Baby,” sung by the “Dirty
Dozen,” to “Accentuate the Posi-
tive” by our own “Mr. Bones.”
. The “Olio that comes between
the halves” was a delight for all.
Who would have believed Mrs.
Perry could sing like that or Vicky
Busbice and Mrs. Shank could
dance like that? Dennis and
Brendon Kerns along with Tom
Moore brought down the house
with their mimicking.
The second half was even better
than the first. “Lucky Old Sun”
actually brought tears to many
eyes. And didn’t you feel like get-
ting up and giving three cheers
for the U.S.A. when the “Patriots”
sang “My Own America”?
I wish there were space to men-
tion the whole cast but, “Kids, it
was wonderful” will have to do.
Mrs. Settles, you too can relax
now and pat yourself on the back
for a marvelous production. All
there is left to say is, “Thank
you all.”
Chit Chat: Class rings have fin-
ally been ordered by the juniors
and seniors after much debate.
Seeing Pat and Pam Schmitz and
Ricky Vogel off at the airport
turned out to be quite an experi-
ence. Have you noticed a certain
couple’s matching shirts? I can
safely state that the get together
at the terminal after the show
was as much fun as “Minstrel
Memories” itself.
SO SAD—“Mr. Bones” gives out with his own rendition of “Accentuate the Positive.”
