Alumni Memory: Carol Lutes Racine, BJ ’62
In the Limelight
During my student days at 杏吧原创 back in the early ’60s, the newly built Quadrangle buildings were the centre of our academic universe. But聽 it was the聽 old聽 Field House down the road near Bronson Avenue ( always frigid on crisp fall evenings)聽 where budding聽 student actors, singers, musicians would gather to find their ‘creative groove’; auditioning聽 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:聽 “Four Ways to the Ace”, a聽 zany musical comedy聽 set in a boarding house聽 about to be expropriated, in which聽 my character “Viola” was tasked with singing through聽 聽several minutes of聽 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)
