Opening the session with "Bell

Mary Alice, Miss White, and Elsie

graced the stage with a series of
acrobatic numbers. Also included in
the program were several novelty

Other acts in the show featured
Yolanda, with a group of Spanish
ballads, and Barbarina and her
trained dogs. Adding charm to the
performance was the appearance of
Sonia Shaw, NBC-KGO songstress,
whose vocalizing was warmly re-
ceived.

Competition--Company 70A com-
pleted the regular intra-division
volleyball competition with three
smashing victories over Companies
66A, 78A and 86A. This enabled
70A to take its place at the top of
its division and also to be the only
undefeated team in the entire RMS
tournament. The team's play fea-
tured a tightly-knit defense and a
smashing offense led by Brayford,
Chapin and Liesenbeni. Its record
of 370 points scored against 170
points for their opponents gives an
indication of the type of ball played
by the team. Not to be outdone,
70B came through with a decisive
shellacking of 66B to remove the
latter as the lone other claimant to
an undefeated record. Playoffs for
the championship will start early
this week.
