APPUUDED, TOO
Dancing Was Also Enjoyed
At Big Party. Prizes
Given Away
On Friday night, March 17th.,
many Ecustans gathered again at
the cafeteria for another big Em
ployee party. The evening’s enter
tainment got off to a good start
with a specially arranged stage
show which was followed by a
dance. Two orchestras provided
the music for the dance, the Ecus-
ta string band playing for the
square dances and the hew Ecusta
swing band playing for the round
dancing.
The show began with a novelty
number featuring the mystery voi
ce, the illusion created being that
the microphone was taking a few
minutes before the “show open
ing” to tell the audience some of
his many troubles and to outline
some of his difficulties encounter
ed in trying to do his part in put
ting over the Ecusta shows.
At the conclusion of this micro
phone specialty number which was
presented in a darkened house
with only the microphone illumi
nated with a spotlight, the lights
came on and a quiz show was in
troduce^. As Quiz-master Evers-
man walked on the stage, he was
followed by the Mountain Music-
Makers all dressed in special cos
tumes for the occasion. The ex
perts, Lehman Kapps, Charlie Ray,
Dr. Dorothy Day, Dr. Robert Levy
and Buck Best, were then called
to the stage and given instructions
regarding the quiz show. After an
opening number by the Music-
Makers, the show was off to a good
start. In spite of the fact that the
experts proved to be very much
up to the minute with their knowl
edge of things in general, they
missed several of the questions
which allowed several Ecustans to
take home prizes with them.
About mid-way during the quiz-
show, while the experts were rest
ing, the music-makers put on a
special program of mountain music
which thoroughly delighted the
audience. The musicians taking
part in the program were Rhett
Talley, Blaine Emory, Rupert Gor-
dan, Lucille Heffner and Carl Pat
terson. They were dressed in
special costumes for the occasion
and their program included vocal,
comedy and instrumental numbers.
They are to be congratulated for
their excellent performance.
At the conclusion of the show,
the floor was cleared and soon
thereafter a large circle was on
the floor and a square dance was
started.
Alternating with the Music-Mak-
ers, the new Ecusta Swing band
played for round dancing. This
was the second appearance of the
swing band at an Ecusta party.
They have been enthusiastically
received on both occasions and
many Ecustans enjoyed themselves
dancing to the music of this group.
The members of the Swing Band
are Jimmey Reese, Trumpet; Thel
ma Greene, Tenor Saxaphone; Leon
English, Drums; John Eversman,
Violin; Lucille Heffner, Vocalist;
and A1 Dunn of Asheville, Pianist,
