Mr. Magic A Christian Prestidigatator? That's right. Rev. Lynn Van Buren, better known as Mr. Magic, came to GRBC and amazed the spectators with his fabu lous sleight of hand and illusions. He also involved the audience in the show by inviting Miss Bierbaum and Dick Baldwin to join him on the stage. There was more to the evening than |ust magic tricks though, as Rev Van Buren incorporated a gospel message into the show.

The high point of the evening of laughter and fun was the defeat of the faculty team by the student team. Riding for the faculty were Miss Bierbaum, Mr. Marthai, Mr Rowland, Mrs- Kellaris, Miss Monell, and Mr. Martin. The audience roared with laughter seeing some rid- ers try to stay on, arid others when they dis- mounted. Everybody’s favorites were the pooper scoopers; Jan Abuhl, Cheryl Carmichael, and Mary Rodrigue2. 18 Donkey Boske boll
