Great talent is discovered during Aquarius 70 Patsy Lee, dressed as a Southern Belle, and Susan Griffin, portraying a sailor, enter¬ tains the audience with clever vocal numbers. Jane Lewis revisits the fantasy world of childhood to reveal the inno¬ cence of juvenile philosophies in her humorous interpretation. As astrologers predicted that the earth was entering the Age of Aquarius, Central ' s Student Council pre¬ sented Aquarius ' 70. In keeping with this theme the stage was decorated to resemble the solar system. Spheres representing the planets of our solar system were suspended.about the stage. A backdrop of stars completed the decorations. The 1970 Talent Show offered something to suit everyone ' s taste. A flute duet, a humorous interpreta¬ tion, a modern dance routine, and scenes re-enacted from the hit rock musical Hair were some of the varied acts. The presentation was held both on Friday and Satur¬ day nights, March 20 and 21. Dwight Mills entertained the audience between acts as master of ceremonies. All of the hard work put in by each person during auditions, rehearsals, the building of scenery, the or¬ ganization of the complete show, and the presentation itself was evident in the final success.
