CGME T0 THE FAIR . . . The Spirit oi Benton Noveqper IU, 1939 x-. V, X s I X l x XX 1 7 X l . In l f X . Xu Q, N 3 X X r v A real inspiration for the main show theme, The Spirit of Benton, set the pace for a better-than-ever County Fair this year in which the traditions and thrills of an earlier day were happily combined with the swing music and intricate dancing of the present. Comedians in clothes resembling a cartoonist's dream, a junior high chorus in frilly aprons over gingham dresses, senior high dancers buttoned into tight white dress-coats, pretty girls in dainty form- als, an orchestra full of toe-tickling tunes, a stir- ringly patriotic finale built around Irving Berlin's l'God Bless America, with R. O. T. C. officers in steel helmets! Yessir, When you saw that show, you knew you'd been somewhere. 3 x A pw-warm 'L- Page Eight The audience was loud in its praise oi the backdrop. designed and painted by senior high art pupils. It represented in a typically modem way the multiple activities ot the school. Equally beautiful were the songs and dances oi the Indian prologue which opened the show.
