This served as the theme for the 1982-83 Beta Club Talent Show. Taking place in the spring of '83, the talent show allowed many students to turn their fantasies into realities. It's not easy to expose a talent, proven or unproven, for judgment. Karl Kuykendall, one of three members of the comedy group Pandemonium, inc. remembers that we kept rehearsing, thinking that we wouldn't go through with it. Then we did. The fantasies of many would have gone unrealized had not a second tryout been held to attract more people to Go For It. But, of course, enough did, and the rehearsals began. Began conflicting with those of the Air Band Contest, that is. Many had to stay late into many an evening, tirelessly remembering that The Show Must Go On. SIX STRING STAR Brad Glover plays lead guitar for the band Truce. which was the first act of the show. Pham by Bob Dunbar 18 Student Life Unhindered by sweat or worry, the night of the show arrived, as most expected it would. The apprehension back stage was evident. The rock band, Truce, was first. Their professionalism and the audience's positive response gave the show a measure of confidence that could be seen in their performance. Among the talent was a vocal group from the Beginnings, and a touching tribute to the memory of Kellea Freeman by Gene Gibson, called Kellea's Song. There was comedy and seriousness, singing and dance. The problems were technical and minimal. The content was varied and tasteful. And a few dreams came true. It was just a high school talent show, but wouldn't it be a shame for a person to go into the world without having granted a fantasy a little reality?

F Classes - unite for Haunted House Differences put aside, juniors and seniors came together to bring back the haunted house to North Garland. The parents clubs faced the problem of finding a spooky place and building it. There was a lot of time and work put in by a bunch of dedicated parents in preparation for it, but seeing the kids come together as they did made it well worth the effort, said Mrs. Barbara Starr, co-sponsor of the senior class. Every night took 40 to 50 willing workers to open the house. Goulish makeup was caked on to over half of these volunteers.
