Convos Add Variety This year we had several con- vocations. They included Horseshoe Pitching, Trampoline, Champions, and coming back for the last 3 years was Sunshine Express. The money that we received to hold these con- vos came from the candy and coke machines in the commons. It was $190.00 for Sunshine Express, $125.00 for the “Champions,” $100.00 for Trampoline, and $125.00 for Horseshoe. There were two con- vocations that were cancelled. One was Air Aces Three which included Above Center—Sunshine Express boogies to their music. Above—K.C. enjoys gettin' down with one of the ladies from Sunshine Express.

They did various tricks and stunts with Sue's ability and talent as an acrobat, and Dan's skill of pitching horseshoes. They have travelled throughout the United States and Canada and also appeared in Japan. They were on many national television shows, too. The Campus Life Club sponsored a multi-media presentation called the “Champions on December 6. In this convo the students learned to strive to meet their goals in life. This phi- losophy was presented in an enjoy- able way through popular music, slides, and films that they could re- late to. George Hunzicker a graduate of the University of Michigan, was the National Championship of Asso- ciated Athletes. From 1967 through 1972 he was classified All-American six times, and in 1971 he placed sec- ond in the World Trampoline Championship in Bern, Switzerland. The Sunshine Express is a Christian group which usually plays at con- ventions but the sound was very good in our gym. Their purpose is to show non-Christians that Christians can put out some good music, and also to display their God given tal- ent. The whole student body gath- ered in the gym for these exciting events. They got rowdy and enjoyed these convos very much. Above Left—Mark Sorensen and Sherry Brawnu jive to the music.
