A 'Summer Breeze' Over the years the annual Afro- American Club Talent Shows have gained a reputation for excellence, and the 1982 production was no ex- ception. The show, entitled Summer Breeze, loosely followed the story line of Grease. Rocky Thompson, senior, and Bonita Johnson, junior, played the leading roles of Danny and Sandy. Auditions for spots began in December. From the final cuts in February until the actual production, nearly three months later, the carefully chosen cast members rehearsed for hours daily in order to perfect their routines of song, dance, and modeling. In the end, however, all agreed the long hours of preparation were worth it. The long hours made the show a huge success, with the sell out au- dience as well as the participants. As Tonya King, junior, a model in the talent show, said in her own words, We worked on everything, our posture, our walk, our stance . . . but it was worth it. Besides being fun and exciting, it was a very challeng- ing experience. I really enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to next year!
