In Personalities A MEXICAN FOLK-SINGING SEXTET, The Chicums, from St. Mary ' s Academy entertains at St. Joe hootenany. The nationwide hootenany fad worked its way into St. Joseph ' s where it uncovered many guitar-laden, folk-singing students. Through their own initiative, performers organized and produced several lively sessions in the Little Theater. After very favorable response, a larger, semi-professional show was put on in the gym by the Hi-Lite staff. The annual talent show marked a considerable in- crease in performers over previous years. Several groups presented themselves, singing in the hoote- nany manner, and patterned after some of the well- known professionals. Dance bands beat out catchy numbers. Soloists highlighted the show. Single instru- ments, such as the accordion, the piano, and the vio- lin demonstrated individual talent. The art of dancing was also represented in ballet Spanish interpretive numbers. Vocal soloists entertained with various types of song ranging from popular hits to Broadway mu- sicals. A vital aspect of the talent show and hootenanies is that the success and rewards depended upon the initiative of the students themselves. THE FRONTIERSMEN Jim Augustine, Keith Crighton, John Logan, ond Ken Ratojczak give out with M.T.A.
