Working in cooperation with the Key Club, M Clubbers worked hard to make the project a success, donating half the 585 prize money and in return receiving half of the proceeds. In addition to the Suppressed Desires, an over-30 group of Mexico musicians, the talent show offered everything from jazz and acrobatic dances to a song from the upcoming musical My Fair Lady . Winning first place, the Rhodes Folk Group was followed by Kathy Atkins with a dramatic reading and johnny Freeman's rock band. Gary Fennewald and Bruce Knipfel MC'd the show and awarded the prizes to the contestants. Folk singing brings first place and the 550 prize money to the Rhodes Folk Group.
