Rings of circus talent show forth; The ingenuity of youth was re¬ flected in the presentation of “Sights and Sounds—Edition ’73.” The con¬ cert, made possible by the combined efforts of Serenaders and Stage Or¬ chestra, included a medley of songs performed by the groups while on tour earlier in the month. “Who Can I Turn To?” and “Scarborough Fair” were among the selections played. Accompanied by the Stage Orches¬ tra, the Serenaders performed “Days of Wine and Roses” and “Moonlight Serenade.” “Three Ring Circus,” the theme of the Language Clubs’ Talent Show, explicitly described the entertaining program. Students performed a vari¬ ety of acts ranging from the most se¬ rious soap opera to the more com¬ ical skits during the program. The proceeds from the Talent Show went towards the Indiana Univer¬ sity Honors Program Scholarship Fund. Carefully following his score, Mr. Matusiak directs the orchestra with precision.

Orchestra, Concert Choir combine to Concert Choir and Orchestra com¬ bined efforts to produce the Broad¬ way musical, “George M.” The mu¬ sical, presented on May 31 and June 1 and 2, played to sell-out crowds. Receiving standing ovations on all three nights, “George M” was the first musical staged at Clark since 1966. The musical was based on the actual life of George M. Cohan. Cane bits and tap routines were characterized by Chris Bobos as George M. The entire effort put into the memo¬ rizing of lines, the learning of dance routines, and the singing of verses was aimed at the final performance, and yet, when it came, no one really wanted it to end. Chris Bobos portrays George M. Cohan as he leads the entire cast in a tribute to our country by singing about the flag. Jerry and his son George discuss how they are to tell whether or not the new show that they are to star in will be good. Sam Harris, played by Jerry Filipiak, assists George while he reads telegrams at the party.
