Weather hot; lines long; but it was fun It all took place on a 70 acre park in the center of Knoxville, Tennessee. The World ' s Fair. People would be lined up across the park, re- plied Eric Chapman, add- ing, the weather was hot, but it was fun. Gail Ben- ninghoff commented Peo- ple were visiting from all over the world. It was a nice experience to see all the different people. The fair was based on the idea of energy. Ap- proximately 20 countries were represented. Among these were: China, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and the Phillipines. China ' s exhibit had the most atten- dance. It contained art and historical items, such as a piece of the famous Great Wall. The World ' s Fair theme, Energy, also pertained to some Riley musicians. Freshmen gave up an hour every day to work on their music. It was a lot of work, but it really helped me to improve my play- ing, commented Deddie Dietel. Other Riley stu- dents practiced in the evenings for two hours in order to be ready for the football games. It was hard work, but all worth it.
