The purpose of this convo was to provide an outlet for the talent, talent of any type, which runs loose on the campus. [t demonstrated the ability that the students have in such areas as: comedy routines, singing, musical instrumentation and dancing. David Rice, chairman for the affair, began organizing the acts well ahead of time. All the acts were of top-notch quality because he saw to it that they were put together with forethought. Under the emceeing of Pete Canalia, Bob Steder and Bruce Baker started it off with a skit about the typical frosh; Larry Shaffer, Terry Schultz and Dick Young, a three instrument combo, followed.

The typical Blue Key meeting. Bob Crask and Sandy Sutton’s mimicking of last year’s foot- ball squad; a barbershop four composed of John Kuhn, Ken Miller, Bill Nicewanger and Merle Rice followed. The final act, and an appropriate manner in which to end the convo, was Blue Key’s “cuts” at student organiza- tions and their impersonations of faculty members. They purported to be the school’s indispensable governing body, FLOP. In the course of their mock meeting, the audience witnessed impersonations of such notables as Dr. Ralph Llewellyn, Dr. Oran Knudsen. Mr. Norwood Baughman, Mr. Carson Bennett and Prof. Gordon Haist.

This single convocation will long stand out in everyone’s - mind because everything functioned so smoothly. All the acts were good and everyone appreciated the effort that it took to produce such a high quality show. Lynn Roberts tells of Romeo and Jouliet. Nee ee eee eee ee eee Le eee ee SCLC Clr
