Teeny Redwine led the devotional, which was followed by a program of great variety. To begin the program Miss Hill’s homeroom gave a skit of the Three Little Bears with Henry Rogers Cootie White, Bob Koontz and Ann Meachum taking part. Following this, the “Lexiconvicts” sang several numbers. The talent show was lucky enough to have as their visitors Maryanna Sink, Peggy Cathell, Patty Sue Taylor, and Betty Brinkley from Grimes School, who presented their version of the “Charleston”. Next Winnifred Andrew played a number on the flute followed by Jake Ayers singing “Be My Love” and “My Heart Cries For You”. Helen Thomason gave a skit of “Wilbur,” and ouise Beck sang “Make Believe.” One of the more humorous skits was Sue Everhart’s monogue of “It Only Happens When I Dance With You,” fol lowed by three of the local talent, the Bruton sisters, doing a song and dance. After that Suzanne Myers and Joan Kearns gave a radio impersonation, and Charles Hill gave his impersonation of the “Match Girl,” taking the part of three characters. Everyone seemed to enjoy Carol McDade’s singing “Blue Moon,” as well as several others he sang. The students were also lucky enough to have on their program the band trio consisting of Joanne Williams, Mar garet Rowe, and Jo Ann Becker, who won first prize in a contest at Lincolnton, to play a number. Following this Cloyd Philpott and Mackie Redwine gave a skit of “Two Old Friends Meet Again,” and the program ended with several musical numbers presented by the Triple Threat made up of Nick Kearns, Tommy Hutchins, and Tony Solomon. The entire program was excellent, and the student body is proud of its tal ent and is looking forward to hearing more from them in the near future.
