Musical Convention For the second time in three years, the District Beta Club Conference was held in the Burns au- ditorium. Thirteen schools attended the meeting hosted by Burns Betas, which proved to be good attendance, since only approximately twenty schools were invited. District President David Cline gave the introduc- tion for the guest speaker; Reverend Bobby Gantt of the First Baptist Church of Grover. Eight years ago Re- verend Gantt was presi- dent of the student coun- cil and an active Burns Beta. Following Reverend Gantt’s speech, election candidates were intro- duced and the voting took place. During intermission, refreshments, furnished by students, were served in the cafeteria. When planning the event, a talent contest was scheduled for entertain- ment. All schools were in- vited to participate but to the dismay of the Betas, only two schools entered. To fill up the empty spaces, Burns entered four non- competing participants, topped off with several Burns’ Betas giving an im- promtu version of “Rocky Top.” When things quieted down, the new officers were installed and the meeting was adjourned. All the hard work proved suc- cessful and now it was over ... all except for cleaning up.
