DAHLGREN TALENT SHOW Tk he question was this: What does the crew of a relatively small warship do to alleviate the boredom com- monly associated with a 30 day stretch of time at sea? The answer sounded like something from the Little Rascals, Let ' s put on a show! A talent show to be precise. With only a week ' s notice, the production crew and the prospective talent did some serious brainstorming. The scope of the event was to be nothing less than that of a Cecile B. DeMille epic. Cables were run from CCTV to the Terrier deck so that the show could receive complete two channel coverage. There would be no movies seen that sunny, September day. To further add to the festivities, the fantail was the site of a steel beach picnic, in which there were enough hotdogs and hamburgers to feed a small Third World country. Nary a hungry soul was to be found on the ship that afternoon. The talent included song and dance, comedy, rappin ' and even DAHLGREN ' S answer to Saturday morning wrestling. The competition was fierce, the acts having dreams of fame, fortune, glory and Ship ' s Store Somolians. Whether or not any talent was found is yet to be seen . . .
