Spring Sing'79 Kcontinued from page 251 Uniquely, Chi Lambda Chi and A.G.O. performed together although they were not brother and sister clubs. Having been in Spring Sing only once previously by themselves, A.G.O. wanted female assistance with their show. Both clubs sought to use the opportunity in growing closer. Growing Closer I think the main thing A.G.O. and Chi Lambda got from their effort was closeness between the two clubs, stated choreographer Chris Davis. Not a member of any social club Davis also sought new relationships through his work in Spring Sing. Similarly, to many of the more than 600 participants in Spring Sing, it was the relationships brought forth which made all the work worthwhile. Winning became secondarynas the clubs faced technical problems and expended! more than 24,000 man- hours in rehearsal time. Nearly every time we would meet we would stress getting to know each other better, recalled Chi Sigs member Mark Evans. I felt more associated with .the club and our sister club at that time than any other time of the year. Averaging six hours of practice a week Galaxy and lu Go Iu also stressed relationships in their winning effort. Winning was great, exclaimed lu Go Iu's Rita Spring Sing McCullough, But that wasn't it. Getting to know each other so well made the hard work worth it Worth It All- One of the few clubs which used a live band for their music, Iu Go Iu and Galaxy felt an added edge from the band. It helped us a lot of times at practice, stated McCullough. T he band would just play music other than Spring Sing stuff and we would just be together. Although winning was placed in a secondary light, competing for sweepstakes was not forgotten. Winning Spring Sing shouldn't be your purpose, emphasized McCollough. But winning never made anyone feel bad. Evans did not mind the hard work or competition either. Competition can be good if taken in the right way , he commented. It was an experience to be able to work so closely with my peers. It is definately worth it. ml
