Homecoming Even though the mighty Hurricanes ac- cepted defeat from Ferrum, Hurricanes and students alike diverted their attention and energy to the Homecoming Dance in the Multi-Purpose room after the game. The en- tertainment was spotlighted by the band Spectrum pounded it out for Homecoming dancers with everything from hard rock to top forty. If you can ' t do a pretzel, you just ain ' t with it. Debbie Jones and Mac McClure can attest to that. Spectrum, who turned the thoughts of defeat to the thoughts of hard-driving dancing. The dance floor was empty for the first few minutes and the students seemed shy to get onto the floor, but the beat of the music entic- ingly lured many of them from their seats. Good-bye to the shyness and coy pre- tense; Hello to the bright lights and thump- ing beat, students seemed to be saying. And on the floor they stayed until it was time to retire. Tired feet were the loudest to complain while the rest of the body never felt better. As for the taste of defeat by Ferrum, it never tasted sweeter than as the desert of the Homecoming festivities. Who said faculty members are all work and no play? Buster White can groove with the best of them. ubhui ' tVlleqe 24

Talent Show Talent (Tal ' ent)n. A special ability that is bestowed upon, as by na ture, and not ac- quired through effort. Show (sh6)n. Spectacular, pompous dis- play performed in front of an audience. Talent Show (tal ' ent shb)n. An extrava- ganza at the Louisburg College auditorium hosted by Charley-John Smith and Sheila Cotton with a cast of (thousands?). Louisburg took to the stage to present Faces of the World. Faces that conceived every emotion between happy and sad. Eighteen acts comprised this Show of Shows, ranging from the World of Clowns to the rhythm and crooning of Billy Odom and Don- ald Secreast. Each act was a winner, making it hard for the judges to make the decisions as to who got the prizes. At the end of the show, everyone held their breath in anticipation of the judges ' picks. In the honorable mention category, Jeff Ingle, who sung two songs he composed him- self, captured top spot. Billy Remis Thom- as finished a close second with an Elvis Re- mis-styled rendition of Jailhouse Rock. Third place was taken by the Louisburg Cheerleaders doing their version of Fame. Second place was karate chopped by Chuck Hiter and his assistant Tommy Bishop for their martial arts demonstration. The winner of the Talent Show was, enve- lope please, the home-spun, Waylon Jen- nings — styled performance of Jim McNeill and Mike Ivey singing Dixie by the River. The End (the end) n. The last part of any- thing, including this. Charley-John Smith applaudes his comical comment while Sheila Gotten bears up and tries to refrain from laughing. You should have heard that Remis sing, Let ' s rock, Whoa, let ' s rock. ' Jailbird Thomas 26
