'JIYJJ ID' Announced on the radio one fall day was news that caused an uproar The Rolling Stones will be here in Dallas on October 31st and November 1st. People from all around started scraping money together to acquire tickets for this earth shaking event. As the date for ticket sales grew nearer, the anxiety was reaching a peak. The day to purchase tickets arrived and the popularity of the Stones was evident as they sold out the Cotton Bowl within one day. As if this wasn't enough for Mick and his crew, a date for yet another show arose. Just as with the first, this world renowned group sold out the Cotton Bowl for a second time. lt was clearly stated on the tickets that the show was to go on. It quoted, opening 12:00 noon - RAIN OR 1-1'QN BOWL ' vacuo, uns X .5 g 1 - -uw.. -f1jg.','1 ' , 1 - L -Nov, t... r, tm. ,-. .ti , .L Z lzuiurrs stones gig N I A :un nu-1l 0- Z k V 1 si1.sn l A 1981 lM ff.l1..,.......... .

The weather conditions were not to slow the crowd, as the Cotton Bowl was packed. Although the show began at 12 noon with two warm up bands, the show proceeded hours on into the darkness. Many spectators spent 12 to 16 hours at the Cotton Bowl for this once-in-a-lifetime show. As expected the Stones concerts were extremely successful. The promo- tional items, T-shirts, pins, and hots were obvious in student attire during the days following the shows. All in all the Rolling Stones appearance in this area was definitely the high point in the year's concert agenda. Does Te as Really Have the Best Rock? Quotes: Jim Stubblefield: Mick and the boys were showing their age, but the sheer excitement of seeing the Stones live made it more than a memorable occasion. Randy Davis: lt was the best concert feasibly possible, idue to the weatherj to see an institution like the Rolling Stones. Organizations and Activities 2 9

1 This year's talent show was another success due to the skillful direction of Mrs. Jan Schronk. The theme for this year's show, which was presented by the Thespian Troupe 1776, displayed several aspects of a colorful circus. Like the circus, the talent show offered a wide variety of acts. From the delightful singing of Dan Hall and Tracy Farney, to the dynamic dancing of Pat Culbert, one perceived that this was not an ordinary talent show. The audience obviously en- joyed the limitless ideas for acts. ln all, there were thirty-six performances. Each one was different from any other act. The ringmaster for the evening was J. C. Caffrey, who told the attentive audience about the oncoming acts. The stage band contributed to a good portion of the talent show by performing three numbers. Their precision andjazz beat was enjoyed by all. Of course what would the talent show have been without the traditional routine of the Troy-MEN? Yet, moments later the real Troy-Anns, The Struttin' Studs, retaliated with their version ofa Trojan football victory. Cer- tainly, if this year's talent show was missed, it was a loss to the individual. Opposite page: Gary Offutt dedicates I Love My Truck to Jay Fitch.
