The lowering of the brightly lighted sign and the opening strains of Cole Porter selections signal the start of the Pop Concert. Shocking the audience with their indecent exposure, John, Mark, and Steve revive memories of Skinny Dippers 1890. Folk singers Carol Sherman and Jeff Sowden philosophize on the topics of stamp-lickin', lunch toters, and hors d'oeuvres. It's time, it's time, it's time ... ! Yes, Pop Concert time had once again rolled around at VHS on the nights of April 30, May 1 and 2. In a program featuring pop tunes including Cole Porter numbers, selections from the hit musical SWEET CHARITY, and the award-winning Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, the band members displayed not only musical talents but their adeptness in many other fields. A return performance of the infamous An-dorian Philharmonic Wind Ensemble, original folk songs, and the world premier of Skinny Dippers 1890 were designed to tickle the audience's funny bone, while toe-tapping dance numbers and a free style acrobatic routine by State A.A.U. gymnastics champion Leslie Henry represented the more serious efforts of the group.

'Wild, Wild West' Spurs Talent Roundup The roughness and excitement of yesteryear were once again brought to life as the class of 70 presented The Wild, Wild West at the annual Village Varieties on March 6 and 7. Traveling West in search of adventure with eastern dudes Andrew (Scholberg) and James (Wall), Villagers gained a glimpse of frontier life through dancing acts, a piano duet, songs, and skits. In a suspenseful pantomime featuring Phil Carruthers as the villain, Karol Knutson as the heroine, and Scott Gydesen as the hero, the ever present dangers of the old West were further portrayed. Special guest appearances by the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Hoss and Little Joe, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid also added to the entertainment. Revealing a bit of the beauty of the Old West, Diane, Sue, and Becky make up the dance trio of Suzy's Floosies. Finding that the traditional rain dance fails, Indian maidens Bev Villella and Cherie Olinyk go mod. Appalled at James' answer of a beer is a beer, the cowboy trio attempts to set him straight.
