musical tribute to the thousands of ACU voices which have been raised over the past 25 years. And the men of Sub T-16 recognized Sing Song's special year in a way that no one will soon forget. Their Silver Sing Song Extravaganza recalled the past with songs and costumes from the club’s former performances. Of course, after 25 years, original themes were hard to come by. Telephones, convicts, toy sol- diers, pharoahs and almost every other conceiva- ble character had already graced the stage. As long as ACU stands, however, students willstrive for the ultimate idea. All in the name of Sing Song. “It is the single event that brings together the greatest number of our students to work together toward one goal: to provide top notch entertain- ment for our parents, alumni and friends,” said Duty. We wanted the 25th anniversary Silver Edition to exemplify the best of what Sing Song has become. Whether the latest production was “the best” is a point no easier to determine this year than it was five, ten or 20 years ago. The Silver Edition songsters, however, certainly did their best to prove their point. The talents of Steve Adams, junior oral com- munication major, and Rick Smith, senior mar- keting and management major, were chosen to join junior home economics kindergarten educa- tion major Caryl McGlothlin and junior music education major Jeanne McCormick in hosting the Silver Edition Sing Song. “Caryl, Jeanne, Rick and Steve working together as a team complemented each other's talents to bring the finest of musical expertise to the show,” said Duty. Accompanied by the Jazz Ensemble, they did a marvelously professional job of tying the show together in presenting a variety of numbers that This page: top — The newly formed Kappa Delian Shri participate in Sing Song for the first time as “Uncommon Clowns with A Comical Commitment”: bottom — The women of GAT A tell “The ‘Tail’ of the Pink Panther.” Opposite page: top — Zeta Rho Alpha, toting umbrellas, sing in the rain before transforming themselves into a rainbow; bottom left — Safari hunters are the main ingredients in “cannibal soup in Delta Theta's “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?”; Sigma Theta Chi’s “Jalapeho Chorus” won three first place awards; bottom right — Dressed as credit cards the women of Ko fo Kai began the competition with their song, “Don’t Leave Home Without Us.”

The hosts and hostesses’ version of “Celebra- tion, a song at the top of the charts when Sing Song rolled around, kindled the festive atmos- phere as months of practice and worry ended and the actual show began. The women of Ko Jo Kai opened the competi- tion dressed as credit cards and singing “Don’t Leave Home Without Us.” During the Friday eve- ning, Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening performances their tune was true enough to win the second place vocal award in the women's division. The newcomers of Kappa Delian Shri were out next as “The Uncommon Clowns With a Comical Commitment.” Duty was impressed that the newly-formed club braved the competition. “This was Kappa Delian Shri’s first year,” he said. “They had an excellent performance of which they should surely be proud.” The women of Zeta Rho Alpha came “Singing in the Rain” this year, followed by the “Jalapeno Chorus” of Sigma Theta Chi. By Saturday eve- ning the green peppers had picked up first place awards for originality, costume and vocal compe- tition in their division.
