The 1970 Royalty, juniors Pauletta Arviso and Bennie Bedoni, were thoroughly entertained by these acts as were the freshmen, sophomore, and senior attendants. Some of the acts included a wayfaring minstrel, Freddie Moore, a couple of cell mates at Folsom Prison (Janet Wemhoener and Neva LaPlante), and a tigress pacing her cage, Christie Nottingham.
