Monday, January 3, 1958
It was announced today that Springfield High School’s student musical group, The Marvelous Wonderettes, have been selected to perform at the “Class of 1958 Super Senior Prom.” School Principal, Mr. Varney explained, “We wanted to showcase the amazing talent we have here at SHS and these ladies are . . . well, marvelous! We’re all very excited.”
Cindy Lou, Missy, Suzy and Betty Jean – The Marvelous Wonderettes
The group is made up of four SHS seniors, Cindy Lou Huffington, Betty Jean Reynolds, Suzy Simpson and Missy Miller. When asked how the group came to be, Cindy Lou (the self-appointed spokesperson) offered, “Well, I love to sing and have always wanted to sing doo wop with my own backup singers. I mean, I absolutely ADORE The Chordettes and The Pony-Tails! So, I started my own group!” (This seemed to raise a bit of objection from the other three members of the quartet, but they seemed resigned to deferring to Miss Huffington.
The Super Senior Prom-goers will be entertained with songs such as: Mr. Sandman, Lollipop, Dream Lover and Stupid Cupid, among others. The ladies promise that everyone will have a “Marvelous” time at their prom.
The Marvelous Wonderettes are certain to entertain and can be booked for other events through their agent, Hard Road Theater Productions at the Facebook Agency.
