Peter And Gordon, Navy Band In To bring some ' big-name” entertain- ment to the area and to increase its own treasury were the two reasons for the Student Council sponsoring Peter and Gordon in concert at St. Bede. After one month of intensive prepara- tion on the part of Father Allen, chairman Thomas Schroer and the executive coun- cil, the night of February 13 brought a huge crowd to the gymnasium for the performance. Ed Mason M.C.ed the show which began with the Regiments” from the U. of I., who played several hit tunes as well as some “oldies”. Next, a local group, the “Vengeance” performed and introduced their new record. After an intermission, the “Mont- clairs from Chicago did a few numbers and then played as the backup group for England’s own Peter Asher and Gordon Waller. The duo performed for nearly an hour and featured their numerous successfu 1 record i ngs. At the show’s end, the audience and the S.B.A.S.C. were well-satisfied. Wearing their Carnaby Street clothes and singing in their English-accented voices, Peter Asher and Gordon Waller entertain a receptive audience with one of their million-sellers I go to pieces . With their four guitars, their long hair and their spirited showmanship, the 'Regiments im- pressed the many who saw them. Evidence of the SBSC’s work awes the multitude at the Peter and Gordon Concert.
