Leroy hesitates in speaking, waiting for the applause to die down. Chips 'n' Shavings This year Wirt school revived Chips 'n Sha- vings, the annual talent show. It was a tremendous success as anyone who attended will tell you. There were T6 acts presented and they varied from piano solos to a hot jazz band. First and se- cond prizes were awarded. Leroy Kietzman won first prize with a hilarious imitation of Victor Borge. Francis Boone's imitation of Elvis Presley won her second prize while really bringing down the house. Honorable mentions were awarded to Ann Woiahn for a piano solo, and to Pam Mc- Connell who did an original tap dance routine. One of the highlights ofthe evening was a com- mand pertormance by Robert and Rubin Eagle, nationally known singing stars. The jazz band blasts out some resounding notes. Members ot the band are Mick Shlens, Elias Davis, Ricci Weaver, Dave Ransel, John Ballard, Don Roe, and John Hill 22

They were a lot of fun and halt that fun was making the pre parations. Whether you were another Fred Astaire or iust a substitute for Mepba, the dances were big events throughout the whole school year. Let's stay out ofthe corner, kiddies.
