Alumni Memory: Carol Lutes Racine, BJ ’62

In the Limelight

During my student days at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ back in the early ’60s, the newly built Quadrangle buildings were the centre of our academic universe. But  it was the  old  Field House down the road near Bronson Avenue ( always frigid on crisp fall evenings)  where budding  student actors, singers, musicians would gather to find their ‘creative groove’; auditioning  for roles in a Sock’n Buskin theatrical, or vying for a part in the annual Varsity Revue. I have special memories of one particular Varsity Revue:  “Four Ways to the Ace”, a  zany musical comedy  set in a boarding house  about to be expropriated, in which  my character “Viola” was tasked with singing through   several minutes of  seriously-sentimental poetic lyrics — sandwiched between the rough and tough “Frosh Marching Song” and a frenetic wild Charleston dance number — ’twas all in good fun! – Carol Lutes Racine (BJ ’62)
