Lunacs rue i\i mi GAMES & THINGS...Twas the night of Monday night football and all through the Midway many creatures were stirring, so much so, the mice (if there are any) couldn’t play. Don Stevenson sat by a chess board arranging the pieces with care; with hopes that Freddy Dial soon would be there. Yes, it was the weekly night for ftaiuto at uic xuiuwaj Lounge on Statesville Ave., and chess wasn’t the only game played! A variety of card games were en joyed, plus backgam mon and dominoes. But that wasn’t all. In the midst of the en thusiastic play, the many guests were further amuzed by the football game on one end of the rhythmic sounds of the Spinners’ latest hit on the jukebox, at the opposite end of the lounge. Hold on, with all of these things going on Mike and Pat were moving briskly among the people serving wings and things washed down with some fine re freshments. Some of Midway’s game night guests were Gwen Diggs, Tom Mitchell, Leonard White, Carl Clegg, Jackie Smith, McArthur Davis, Gloria Tatum, Betty Springs, Mabel Summers, John McCullough, and Willie Crite. JARREAU PERFORMANCE... Sunday night, Ovens Auditorium seemed like a sunflower opening to Sol and welcoming its sweet, warm nector. A1 Jarreau was Sol and the 2,400 fans were the petals of the flower that burst open as soon as Jarreau moved on to colter stage. The Grammy award-winning jazz singer with his easy going casual deliverance bathed the attentive audience with a variety of tunes. His act is centered around a voice that mimmicks the instruments in the group. The knowledgeable crowd was very re sponsive to Jarreau’s performance, es pecially to Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five.” A1 Jarreau made a believer out of many people, among them were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Owens, Mr. and Mrs. Otis Allison, Mr. and Mrs. John Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Strong, Mr. and Mrs. William King, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Armstrong, Mr. and Mrs. Gary Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. ' Calvin Littlejohn, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Stro thers, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Montgomery, Mr. and Mrs. James Cunningham and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Allen. HOMECOMING FUN...“A11 Fly Home'’ was a very popular tune by A1 Jarreau a year or so ago. All didn’t fly home, but many flew, drove or road to Charlotte last weekend to help J. C. Smith celebrate Homecoming. The rain Friday night and early Saturday morning didn’t dampen the spirits of the Homecoming friends. The light that helped further the sparkling spirit was the 21-6 victory by Smith’s football team over D.C. University. Third Generation was the musical aggre gation that set the tone of the university sponsored dance at the Civic Center Friday night. A tone of merriment. Saturday night after a fine victory, Brief Encounter did the honors of flourishing the joyous tone for a large Homecoming crowd at the Civic Center. mi. uiiu rare. v^. oiiiiui, mr. anu rare.

DISCO & JAZZ . Zenovia’s on East Sixth Street is where a lot of New York Alumni members gathered Saturday night. The relatively new club featured New York style disco upstairs, while Leroy Paige, Grady Siegle, Michael Porter and friends entertained the people downstairs with their soulful jazz sounds. Genita Ingram was one among many guests with the unique choice of entertain ment. STRICTLY DISCO...Bomer Sadler did a superb job last Saturday night playing the music at the Beacon Club for a disco sponsored by the Committee to Elect Dr. Raleigh Bynum to a seat on the County Commission. Bomer, who has been a record spinner for a long time, moved the discoers with a mixture of old and new tunes, that kept everybody dancing til the house lights came on. Vanessa Coles Crowned “Miss J.C. Smith Aintnni”_i Over 50 people gathered at the Excelsior Club to witness the crowning of Vanessa Worsham Coles, Miss Alumni of Johnson C. Smith University 1980.
