One of the highlights of the eve- ning was a performance by the Boss Tweeds, a pop group from Highland, singing and playing Hey judef, The second part of the show featured 20 talented boys from the band who pantomimed West Side Story. Highland Tradition was proudly displayed by the bagpipe corps as they manuvered to the Sterling Castlev and Skye Boot Songf, The show closed with the traditional c'Yankee Doodle Boyf, The reception to the Revue was so over- whelming that the band and Highlettes performed six encores. ' Individual performances this year were truly out- standing. Phil Roberts and Mike Pitcher displayed up- roarious antics as they portrayed an old man and woman from the hills visiting the city. Saturday evening was the best night of the Revue for laughs-Phil Roberts lost his wig while tripping through the crowd.
