Boston University stunt night pleases crowds with faculty dressed acts
Boston University College of Liberal Arts staged a stunt night where faculty were barred from viewing the show. Students in robes portrayed faculty figureheads, while Copley Corners School girls donned pig tails and gingham. Helen Bidwell and Katherine Perkins led a Pierrot dance amid a humor filled program. A scoring debate and a Pan-Hellenic spoof exposed sorority weaknesses. A baby photo contest hung three to eleven year old pictures for identification. Hot dog sandwiches fed guests as proceeds benefit the Boston Dispensary. Anna Fulton of Somerville directed the event.
