Oriental theme is catalyst for large turnout I t seems that this year we took a chance with a different theme and a different approach and it paid off, said Pamela Cromey, student council president. Netting over SBOO, the 1982 Supreme was attended by 360 people, which was the largest turnout of the three Supremes held in Clark's history. Publicity for the dance made the differ- ence. Printed posters and fortune cookies with new twists and old proverbs helped build enthusiasm for the dance. Number one date will like to go to the Supreme Ball February l3 , He who attends the Supreme Ball will have a ball , and Most Honorable Evening-February 13 increased interest around the bid table at noon in the cafeteria. P aper dragons, kites, Chinese lanterns, and fans adorned the Granada Royale Hometel ballroom, in accordance to the theme, Images of the Orient . The band, Eurasia, played predominantly rock, which was appreciated by most in attendance. lf you went there and danced, it was a lot of fun. But those who didn't dance seemed to have. a boring time, com' mented junior Kelly Taylor. I really enjoyed it, the atmosphere was great. The only drawback though, was that the band only played a few slow songs. Otherwise, they were great.

Throughout the first semester, student council offia cers listened to many bands before choosing Eurasia. Not only did their style of music suit Clark's taste, but their name fit in with the Oriental theme. 14' Supreme

Talent show adds S3300 to prom fund From dancers to vocal duos, comedy acts to rock groups, the 1982 Senior Top Hat Revue had something for nearly everyone. New stage lights were placed around the stage and the Topcats, in their tophats, and tails opened the show with a Broad- way routine. What followed had the mak- ings of a professional talent revue. The judges, Rick Austin of KLLS radio station and Dr. Evelyn Troxler, professor of voice at the University of Texas at San Antonio, finally decided that first place should go to Rick Davidson, whose show was a combination comedy and juggling act. I really was surprised that l won. My act was totally an improvisation though l knew what l was going to do. The really great part was the screaming when l brought out the eggs. Second place was taken by a rock band, Prenzence. Headed up by Shawn Sahm at vocals, the group pelted out an original called Time Can't Erase . Bobby Blessum was on bass, Jim Collins played guitar and sang backup vocals, and Troy Haynes played drums lt was really freaky when those chicks ripped my shirt, grinn- ed Sahm. The Clark Jazz Quartet, including Ar- nold Cantu on the saxophone, Joe Hanna on bass, Todd Kaiser on percussion, and Steve Krenz on guitar, was awarded third for their toe-tapping, hand-clapping perfor- mance. Joe Hanna said, Watching the au- dience get excited and seeing the people dance in the back of the auditorium was just great. Senior class treasurer, Dawn Phinney, commented, We were hoping it would be a success because it is our biggest money- maker. Fortunately it was all that and more. In the words of Mr. Richard Bolt, senior class sponser, The money we made was phantasmagoriclu Lisa Scott Overwhelmed by the fact that he won first place in the 1982 Top Hat Revue, Rick Davidson accepts his trophy from emcee Ted Gistaro as participants look on.
