But that Friday night it wasn’t the same. The girls were all dressed in potato sacks with the belts only three inches from the bottom. Their stockings were rolled and their knees were rouged; and on their heads were sheathlike helmets that made them look like interplanetary creatures with the ears sheared off them. Jenny and Jeannie looked like two peeled onions with not enough hair on their heads to cover them. Oh, that those breathtaking creatures should come to this!

They sang “Yes sir, she’s my baby.” They sang “Oh you have no idea.” They sang:

“You play the Uke,

You’re from Dubuque,

I go for that.”
