Luckily, the crowd didn't stampede as it did at 'The Who' con- cert in Cincinnatti, where 15 were killed. Enroute to the State Fair parade, the infa- mous old activity bus — alias 'old fireball,' — caught fire, much to the dismay of the band members inside. 'The smoke was just pouring out the Dack,' said Brenda Thompson who was on the bus that fol- lowed. The Dover vol- unteer Fire Dept., re- sponding to C.B. con- versations, rolled in to help.

Members sang and re- hearsed for eight hours under the direction of top artists. Pres. Kyle Williams conducted a senior class meeting to talk about announcements, caps and gowns, gifts, and other business. Seniors voted to wear silver gowns instead of the traditional blue.
