The chairmen of the acts were: Helen Macgregor and Kathryn Bush, Alice Kettner, Virginia Wilking and Eileen White, Frederica Goodman, Bill Fernandes and Jack Hatfield, Roy Klezmer, Doris Maggart, and Ruth Zitzlaff. The winning act, Collegiate Capers , was a peppy, fast moving pro- duction. The most spectacular feature Was the adagio dance of Wifliam Wylie and Roberta Everett. The intermission acts were presented by Betty Lou McKamey, Louise Crabb, Tommie Wright, Bill Steinmetz, and Ed and Leroy New. The in- dividual prize winners were Billy Jolly, Rosemary White, Tommie Wright, and Sally Williams. The ushers were competently directed by Harriet Cracraft and Joy Geupel, co-chairmen of the group.
