It’s a talent show put on once a year by the Fine Arts Club, headed by Mr. Charles Henke. For weeks ahead of time, students planned and practiced for their chance to get into the great show. Mr. Henke, choir director and Eng- lish teacher, gave students passes for activity period, to have him audition them. Over 150 students tried out for the performance. But out of the 150 only 24 acts were chosen. The acts were a variety of six solo’s, three skits and eight ensembles. Songs from Barbra Streisand’s lat- est movie “A Star is Born’”’ were the most favored by the large crowd. Sophomores, Beth Fraser and Cathy Sickafoose both did solos from the soundtrack. The song ‘Queen Bee” was sung by Laura Coffman, with back up by Beth Crow and Cathy Sickafoose. Kent Snyder’s band ‘‘Rit- ual’ consisting of Kent, Craig Dar- nell, Mark Best and Kevin Rum- baugh, played back up for a majority of the numbers. Skits filled in between acts, to give the performers and stagehands more time to get things organized. Juggling was done by Dave Mathews and Craig Darnell. A ventriloquism act called ‘Mr. Daniels and Fuzzy” improvised by sophomores Jay Leonard and Dan Wallace took up slack time between acts. Over all the 1977 version of “Happening” was a smash hit with the audience.
