tees Vafaetg Show!-Iazlaias Eesti? The i965 Variety Show was hailed as the best ever presented on the Buena Vista College Campus. Held the evening before the Homecoming Game, the Variety Show included acts sponsored by campus organiza- tions. Top honors were won by the Phi Alpha Pi Sorority for their version ot Seven Dwarfs Snowed by White, the story of the Dubuque football players who were fooled by Snow White, played by Carol Johannsen, and a dashing B.V. Letterman, portrayed by Michele Pelle. Other sorority girls played the roles of football players, a narrator, trees, and a horse. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, a music fraternity, easily won second place with their brilliant execution of Kansas City and Standing on the Corner. More music was provided by the Wee Six, a freshman girls' sextet com- posed of Jane Mikes, Pat Drury, Sherry Eichman, Robbie Swartz, Sharon Rose, and Sue Maher. The group won honorable mention for its two numbers, one an original satire of college life at Buena Vista. Other notable acts included the presentation of songs from South Pa- cific by Kappa Tau Delta Fraternity and featuring Jerry Sears as Honeybun, and The Ravens, a folk group composed of Bill Neff, Janet Gutz, and Steve Gunn. The Thalassic Three, another group of folk singers, included Andy Meredith, Bill Neff, and Jerry Thompson, under the sponsor- ship of Delta Phi Rho fraternity. The climax of the evening was the suspenseful presentation of the seven beautiful queen candidates and the coronation of Queen Karen Blue- dorn, a iunior from Wheaton, Illinois, who was sponsored by Delta Phi Rho Fraternity. After the coronation, the crowd gathered for a pep rally and a bonfire held at the Vista Court Pork near the lake.

anim It Ki tij' f LEFT TO RIGHT: Delta Phi Beta Sorority's Drum for Victory won both flrst place for school spirit and the Sweepstakes Prize. The theme, taken from Flower Drum Song, was colorfully carried out on the flower-covered float. A delicate footbridge led to a huge arch. Here stood two Orientals, represented by sorority members. The second place for school spirit went to Phi Alpha Pi sorority and their clever portrayal of Supercalifragilistic- Victory . The float was constructed in the form of a roof, with a live Mary Poppins perched on the side. Second place in the organizational divi- sion was captured by the men of Delta Phi Rho and their novel construc- tion entitled, Scent of Victory . This large skunk sported moveable eyes and emitted a screen of smoke spray . A small-scale replica of the college chapel, constructed by the Celtic Cross, took the first place in the organiza- tional division, OPPOSITE PAGE, TOP: Homecoming Queen Karen Bluedorn, escorted by Jerry Thompson, was presented to the Buena Vista fans during halftime ceremonies.

A strong wind blew and the cold air made being outside unpleasant. The floats were brought out of hiding and hauled to their respective positions along the lake. A trail of napkins was left wherever the floats went. Many groups feared that the gusty wind would work complete havoc with their delicate handiwork, but quick repairs were done on most of the floats and everything was in order for the parade to begin. The Buena Vista College Marching Band, attired in their brightly colored uniforms, led the parade, playing many rousing songs. The Grand Marshal of the i965 parade was Professor William Green, the college band director. Also in the parade were the enthu- siastic B.V. cheerleaders and our beaver mascot who helped to create' a good feeling of school spirit. The queen's float, designed and constructed by the senior class, carried Queen Karen and her lovely court. Thirty bands representing many high schools in the area were interspersed among the floats and added notes of gaiety to the occasion. The many parade floats were judged as both colorful and clever. 11 Nami! 061 Q Parade
