Carol Rose, Emily Horowitz, Dallas Laizure, and Carolyn Lay judge a terrible act in the after-school show "GMHS Has Talent."  All are about to break out laughing.  The concept was plagiarized 50 years later as the TV hit "America Has Talent."  (Emily and Carol are holding helium-filled balloons that they breath from so as to announce their opinions in funny voices.)
