Skit Presented By Speech Class At pep assembly
The pep assembly featured Miss Nagle leading singing of Monti's pep song as Mrs Greenley's speech class staged a skit forecasting a game against Manchester. The scene opened in Sandy's Bar with narrator Ray Eileen and owner Sandy (Karl Behrends) with four waiters. A parade of cowpokes and a cowgirl followed by rodeo heroes and two sly women shifted attention, then Miss Victoria (Dean Willworth) arrived to sing. The sheriffs decided how to handle kidnappers Manchester and Monti, with Monti ultimately winning Miss Victoria after straw drawing.
