Trojan Talk
By Ellen Deppa

Confusion reigned supreme
at Gaithersburg this week. The
annual school variety show was
almost upon us and nobody
but nobody-was quite normal.
The halls were filled with stu
dents in paint-smeared smocks
and jeans, boys in carpenter
aprons, and members of the cos
tune committee with arm-loads
of odd clothing all rushing
around frantically trying to
meet Fridays deadline.
Snatches of songs could be
heard throughout the day as
singers tried desperately to
match the words with the tunes.
Impromptu rehearsals of a tap
routine or a Highland fling
broke out at unlikely moments.
Schedules were disrupted and
homework was just a nagging
worry to be pushed to the back
of ones mind till next week.
Actually, everyone had a ball.
BY Friday night, another Cath
ersburg Follies, well organized,
m o o hly coordinated, and
brightly polished, took the
stage.
The second and final perform
ance is set for 8 o'clock tonight
in the gym.
