A-22 The 1980 Quadrangle Step-Singing Competition Held May Day When the annual LaGrange College May Day Step-Singing Competition was held in the school gym, the audience was treated to singing as had not been heard in the competition since some years past. The judges had a difficult decision to make and this problem was evident as two groups tied for the first place award. The Baptist Student Union, directed by Cody (Spec) Clark, and Wesley Fellowship, directed by Jennie McCook, tied for first place as both groups turned in a musical yet entertaining program. The music performed varied great- ly this year in that each group turned in good performances of several differ- ent types of song. With the Baptist Student Union singing madrigals, the Association of Black Collegians singing old gospel standards, and the Wesley Fellowship performing tunes that muppets sing, the audience got a taste of practically any music they preferred. The name step-singing has been traditionally given to the competition since it had been held actually on the steps of the Dobbs building ever since anyone can remember. As a private girls institution, LaGrange College had been noted for the performances turned in by their various singing groups. The competition had to be moved indoors this year as threatening skies prevailed for most of the day before, and into the morning before the competition, but that seemed to be no problem, if not an asset, since the acoustics in a gymnasium are somewhat more reflective than those found outside. Jasinski Wesley Fellowship singer Gary Hughes lets it all hang out during his performance with the group. Wesley performed an entertaining medley of tunes from the popular TV series, The Muppet Show. BSU Performs Two Madrigals In the annual step-singing competition, the Baptist Stu- dent Union singers tied with the Wesley Fellowship singers for first place in the mixed chorus division. Pictured above: Marie Mead, Susie Thompson, Ryohei Hoshi, Spec Clark, Ken Reese, Gail Manning, Hugh Moore, and Pam Fortenberry. The octet sang two madrigals, Oh Eyes of My Beloved, and My Heart Doth Beg. G. Jasinski
