Eag ean Follies has new features The unveiling of Jim Korsmo as Central's mystery identity, Joe Hollywood, proved to be a highlight of the new Eaglean Follies. Another exciting change in the 1975 Follies was that the program was held in the arena. This new location enabled the crew to set up a mini stage for the small filler acts that kept things going between contestants. Talent shows have been held in the theater in past years, but tradition was thrown aside for the new Eaglean Follies. Eleven acts were entered in the contest. Wendy Feinstein's acrobatic presentation took first place, a dance team including Debbie Gelhaus, Diane Letherer and Jody Lauinger received second place, and Sue Crosier was chosen third place winner with a baton routine. Other participants were Sue White and Robbie Hollan (musical duet), Mike Kettering (dramatic presentation) and Denise Poirier (guitar vocal solo). A skit was given by Craig and Bruce Blumer, Paul Premack, Greg Biehler, Greg Van De Rostyne.Mary Driscoll and Mike Kettering. Entertainment was also provided by the cheerleaders and the gymnastics team, and Madrigal and Stage Band. Master and Mistress of Ceremonies were Phil Losacker and Cheryl Strobel. Assist- ing them were Steve Heida, Rhonda White, Karen Haug and Jon Pickus. Students responsible for the success of the Follies were chairmen Vicki Pautsch, format; Robbie Hollan, acts; Steve Ford, publicity; and Dave Lee, technical crew. a
