Borne Town m As a town of around five thou- sand inhabitants, Oneonta gener- ally changes slowly. Everyday hap- penings often are involved in changes so subtle that they are hardly noticed. Here are a few of the events that have made changes in the appearance and life of Oneonta. The construction of the new ag- ricultural arena took months, but when It was finally completed it provided facilities for rodeos, cat- tle and horse shows, and other ex- citing events. A popular new addi- tion to the cable television pro- gramming was optional Home Box Office. The Citizen ' s Bank buried a ' time-capsule ' representative of current lifestyle in this area to commemorate their fiftieth anni- versary in the summer of 1981. The idea of a new pressbox for Gilbreath Stadium was initiated by O.B. Logan, a member of the City Recreation Board. The project, a joint effort of the Athletic and Band Boosters, used funds raised by both groups and some materials from the old elementary school. This project was an impressive ad- dition to a magnificent stadium and to a very proud small town. «THE NEV ' I PRESSBOX af Gilbrealh Stadium boasts Oneonta as ' Home of tlie Redskins ' .

ON BROADWAY Just as if it was on Broadway in New York City, the Miss Tomahawl Pag- eant was an extravaganza of beautiful girls, great music, and energetic danc- ers. The sixteen dancers were music stu- dents from one of Mrs. Burdette ' s sev- enth grade classes. Outstanding cho- reography by Susan Faust, along with some instruction, transformed the stu- dents into a magnificent chorus line. The girls, dressed in flapper costumes, danced to ' Chabaref, and the boys, in tuxedos, performed enchantingly to ' On Broadway ' . Excellent performances by soloists Pam Logan and Mark Ridings provided entertainment between introductions of class beauty candidates. Susan Faust, Miss Tomahawk 1981, per- formed a broadway medley and a tal- ent act to finish her reign as Miss Tomahawk. The professionalism of these entertainers created a magic which rivaled the stages of Broadway. Beauty Pageant 39
