Nichols exclaimed, lt's really exciting seeing what we wrote go from paper to stage. lt really makes it all worth while! c The Soul Revue was presented on April 12 and 13. Dancing, g singing, modeling, rapping, and . numerous other talents beings performed. brought delight to most of the sell-out crowd Saturday night. Because of this, their show came across as a great success. Ms. Barbara Jean Davis, sponsor, was the real back-bone. behind the s operation. She kept the morales up when the cast members began having the inevitable pre-show jitters.

The funds attained from the show were used to give graduating seniors scholarships to help further their educations. Every year, the money is used in the same manner. T g The camraderie among the club members is ineffable. The talent show is not only a means of T entertainment, but an expression of brotherhood. Thate replied, This is a tradition that should never be . broken. Soul Revue-17
