But the big news about the Tones is that they have captured and made use of the casualness and freedom of family groups. Anyone who listens to them cannot help but sense the easy relaxation with which they play and clown. They are essentially a swing band, but they are also versatile enough to do very well with 'rock and roll' and the 'twist'. On the surface, the show is centered around the songs, antics and dancing of 'Count' Yates, Rudy's 24-year-old son; Jess Davis, Rudy's cousin, a youngster just out of the service; and Jr. Shirley Dionne, his 25-year-old wife.

On the international front, there was the sudden death of King George III and the ascension of Queen Elizabeth; the Korean conflict continued with fierce intensity as the truce talks droned on. On the American scene, the five cent phone call and the penny post card fell victim to inflation; "Because of You" and "Come on a My House" kept juke boxes blaring in all parts of the country. At Anaheim Union High School the varsity football team won its first Sunset League Championship in ten years, and established the supremacy that is still in existence today. These and other topics will be remembered and discussed at the 1952 Anaheim Union High School Class Reunion, scheduled for May.
