V Alumni Was Anything But Blue . said that labor rids us of three great evils-ignorance, vice, and poverty. If that really is the case, and I'm 99 and 3/4* sure that it is, then Dorothy Wright (manager of the Excelsior Club), JEdithShearin’ ^°n Cunningham and Danny Martin spent this week mentally computing needed fig ures while rolling a wheelbarrow *<to Mechanics and Farmers, with* ’T out *ny moral failings. These four paragons of indus 3 triousness expended a lot of need £ ed energy, physical and mental, last weekend to keep the partici pants in the weekends functions, "T at tlle Excelaior Club, happy. Not ^ that the customers revealed any attitudes, on the contrary, it was jt* just so many of them. It was like T the '49ers flocking to California ? for g°ld or like the winds of a hur ricane beating against the North Carolina shores. A constant on slaught of people seeking fun in |the midnight sun. Yet, with will ingness and sometimes strained I patience, Dot, Edith, Ron and Dan • ny remarkably kept things in pleasant order. ; i^asi rnaay mgnt graduates of ; Winchester High School in Mon • roe (1926-1966) gathered at the Excelsior for a school reunion. Cynthia Hoover did a fantastic job ;in decorating the dining room in blue and white Blue table cloths with white centerpieces, blue and 1 white balloons strategically placed ;around the walls and blue and white streamers accenting the school colors' decor. However, that was the only blue in the place, other than the people dressed in blue, for the upwards of 80 gradu ates were anything but. 1 Saturday night, the members of the Par Buster's Golf Group used the facilities to house the social segment of their golf weekend. John Love (tournament coordina tor) fielded about 130 players, and • it seems, that with the stepping on {each others, toes kind of crowd, {they brought wives and sweet 1 hearts. But the bottom line read, in Jbold type, fun for everyone. The J players were able to unwind after ja grueling day in the rain, while : shaking off a bad round or boast ing a good round, despite the mis jerable conditions. » Sunday Night's onslaught was ^brought on by a contingent of (beautiful women, modeling some {gorgeous outfits, in what was ap * t' ----—: GiHAiRj.o'inri) * * AIFTBE * - * ©AIRK * * propria tely titled, "Fall Fashion Expose "8T. Mable Latimer, model coordina tor, and commentator for this tastefully done fashion drama, seemingly has a congenital gift for (lair. She set the mood from the beginning when she said, ""The clothes being modeled are from Ludelle's Vogue, and made for the p.m.r.(poor, middle class and rich)." The mood and the show were like a blissful marriage, easy, loose and comfortably fluid. Expose "87 was divided into five parts; active wear, casual wear, business and dress clothes, after five attire, and a special wedding scene. Highlighting the active clothes was Cecelia Wilson in a red cotton knit skirt with a beauti ful multi-colored turtle neck top. Donna Sullivan modeled a toast colored imported ultra suede and leather outfit, that was perfect for a casual evening and loose enough to fight off the wolves. Dianne Wingard looked very stunning in a black and white two piece suit by Lilly Ann of California—good for dressy or any business occasion. I personally think she did more for the suit than the suit did for her. Two of the after-five outfits were, a black and gold sequined opened back dress, with a sequined hat to match, modeled by the alluring Pat Huse, and a white sequined dress with open back and a white mink tail draped over the left shoulder of the charming Adrienne Latimer. The fifth sind final scene was a wedding sequence performed in grand style by the lovely Jessie Walls and her husband Arthur. Jessie, looking very elegant in her short, laced wedding dress, sang, "Do You Still Love Me?" by Melis sa Morgan, to her husband of nine years. This episode brought roars ' from the standing room only crowd. Joe Collins, Jr. furnished the music for Expose '87, and also sang an original tune, "The Sil houette". The fashion show was spon sored by Group IV of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, with the pro ceeds funneled into the kitty to help their queen Edith Shearin become Ms. Mardi Gras'88. If the rest of the fraf s events experience as much success as last Sunday's, Edith will win big time. The following brothers were re sponsible, for the most part, for the success of the event: Matthew Wingate, Oren McCullough, Theo dore Gaither, Harold Winston, Harold Shuford, Matthew Shute, James Wood, Herschel Clark, Richard Maxwell, Dr. John Mur phy, Zoel Hargrave and Percival Thomas. Well, last weekend is history, and the coming weekend s busi ness, for the Excelsior, probably won't be as successful, financially. But the handwriting on the wall is beginning to become legible. Old friends are returning and new people are getting caught up in the rich, intangible ingredients that have always made The Excelsior Club" an extraordinary contain ment in Charlotte After Dark.
