PAGE EIGHT CLARION Clio-Euterpeans Give Festival Of Talent; Haas Winner Over All Friday, October 1, was the night of the Clio-Euterpean talent show. Near curtain time, marked the typ ical backstage dilemma. Beverly Jordan was having trouble getting into her over-sized coat when she felt a hand poke her in the ribs, only to find that “Kat” Griggs w^s also trying to put on the same coat. Meanwhile, Jerry McCall was frantically trying to persuade Mary Newell to go back to the foot of tlie bed when Dale Pierce came in cuddling a mop. With the curtain call, a stage-struck group of young ladies (?) paraded on stage and the show was on! The audience gasped in awe atj the next act when five hillbillies, obviously just in from a coon hunt, ■began strumming banjoes, git-fid- dles ,and guitars. At this time, we should all bov/ our heads in rever ence, for I am sure that McCall crippled the piano for life. For a change of mood, Larry Davis’ vocal solo just hit the spot, and Joe Wilson, as accompanist, was certainly number one man of the evening. As the curtains were pulled for the last time and the judges’ de cision was announced, it certainly was no surprise to anyone when ‘•’Always the Best” Joe Haas turned out to be “better than ever.” The music department winners were La- Donna Sumner and Tommy Cassa- dy; and comedy winners, Winnie White and Henry Justice. All in all, the show was a sure success, as it marked the beginning of many wonderful programs to be sponsored this year by the Clios and Euterpeans.
