@ THE CSHAWA TIMES, Tuesde y, March 17, 1964 Hillbilly Theme Featured At Kingsways Reception By GLENN L. SANDS Kingsway College The anticipation and appre- hension of many weeks came. to a close for the students of Kingsway College on Sunday evening, Mar. 8 At approximately 5.30 p.m., there was a general stir in the direction of the College auditor- jum where the Vox Viri Asso- ciation, Kingsway Boys' Club, was presenting its biannual re- ception. . This program was the second of the two main events of each year coming in response to the Girls' Club's Open House pre- sentation of "Port of Call" on Dec. 8, 1963 under the direction of First Semester President Roberta Crawford. This club, formally known as the Nil Sine Numine, alternates each year with the VVA_ in presenting these programs for a variety of enjoyment on the college cam- pus. NATURAL SETTING Faculty and staff members, students, and guests entering the auditorium by means of a erude' bridge over an actual pond, found themselves amid an array of cedars -.and . colorful scenery depicting the. "Hill- billy' region of the Ozark Moun- tains. Lofty trees framed a 500- square-foot mural which gave a view of the mountainous land- scape surrounding a_ typical Hillbilly homestead. Facing this picture on the op- posite wall, the guests came upon the front portion of a hill. | billy "mansion"' (complete with) path) with its weather-worn| veranda draped with actual fox, bob-cat and 'coon skins. Also included in the scenery were a crude, make-shift still, wood-rail fencing and the usual To start the evening off right, everyone was invifed to partake of a delicious meal of, what else; . '"'corn chowder, -- taters, grevy, sal'ed, a mess-of-vittels, with de-sart, and, of course, kick-a-poo joy juice', Many thanks go to the ladies of the College Park Church, under the direction of Mrs. Knuaft, who served our meal; and to Mrs. Cheeseman who did the food preparations. When all had received their share of 'hillbilly grub", pic- tures were taken amid the scen- ery while the commencement of the program was _ anxiously awaited. With the opening of the cur- tains, KC AM-FM Radio signed on and announcer Elvin Rossen, in the Fishook County studio, opened the program by intro- ducing the Happy Mountain Boys. This trio, made up of Second Semester VVA President Dan Self on guitar, Laurie Dunfield with his electric . guitar, and Mogens Sorensen puffing on the harmonica, entertained with that old country favorite 'Cool Water' followed by "The Way- ward Wind". Laurie was also vocal soloist on the first num- ber. COMMERCIALS As with television, the acts were nicely separated with hu- morous commercials, known as '"cumipeshells" to. the hillbilly| broadcast audience, John trees to the uppermost branches to pick apples. Hillbilly Hemeon (commonly known as Harvey to the campus crowd), along with Clarence Hyde and Derek Evans, follow- ed the next commercial with their presentation of "Some Are and Some Aren't". The audience found that literal instructions for selling oranges don't accom- plish much as directions to 'he local train station. SPARKLING ENTERTAINMENT The 'Vanishing Quartet", compiled of tenors Wayne King and Derek Evans, Matti Sten- fors, baritone, and bass Elvin Rossen, brought laughs with their off-beat and off-key ver- sion of "Swanee River". Pianist Gordon Pipher came out on top as out-of-tune quar- tet members met their fate one- by-one in noisy, off-stage com- bat. Untolerant Rossen, being the last to meet the inevitable end, did so at the hands of "Grannie Pifher" who, by the way, is not much more than five feet in height. The Homer and Jethno original "The Billboard Song" was pre- sented by ole Zeke and Clem Judkins in the form of Wayne Judkins in the form of Wayne King and John Thorne. Here, they showed the confusion one finds himself in as he attempts to read the many billboards while driving along today's high- ways amid a rainy atmosphere. Some advertising agents might find themselves going out of business after this song. To round off the program, a short, true life adventure film and a full-length film were shown. The first originated in the Pribilof Islands (often re- ferred to as the Misty Isles) off the coast of Alaska and pre- sented adventures of the vast animal] life in existence there. "Big Red', from Walt Disney Productions, brought intense in- terest from all present as it told the story of an Irish Setter| ship and its young French friend. Though sad in parts, it was en- joyed and well accepted by all. On behalf of the NSN, Presi- dent Jo-Ann Fenwick congratu- lated the VVA for the fine scen- ery and enjoyable program and offered thanks for the invitation to be a part of this year's re- ception. President Dan Self wished everyone a good night as the evening came to a close. Looking back, this reception will 'remain in the memory of many for a long time; especial- ly by those who spent many sleepless nights in preparation. General satisfaction dominat- ed the campus over the next few days as KC AM-FM Radio and the scenes of "Hillbilly Haven" drifted into a memory as roe VVA Reception of March 8, 1964. Thorne, .our sponsor, presented such products as "Fickle Sic- kle", the frozen hair crea, and} "UP" (spelled backwards is} P-U.), the breath freshner. Gordon Pifher told us _ all! about his "Gal Sal" with a comi- cal rendition in the hillbilly drawl. The intentional mis-use| of words proved a delight to all items found around a_ back-| woods country shack. | present as '"'Sal" and Gordon climbed down the highest peach 'Carnival Set At Central By RUTH ANNE TAVES (OCCI Reporter) Central is really buzzing with activity these days. With exams @ver everyone has come alive and is looking ahead. The big Miss Central dance was held on Friday night, March 13, with a southern plantation 'theme. The GAA had a final organization meeting Tues- day and the decoration commit- tee swung into high gear.

Too By VELVA VOOGJARV the Anderson gym was the} scene of a fast-moving basket- ball game between our ssnior boys' team and a team of grads, who have played for Anderson in past years. Although 'the lat- ter team was coached by a for- mer Anderson boys' phys-ed teacher, Dave Clutchey, this year's seniors proved superior to their forerunners, defeating them 32-21, The basketball game was fol- lowed by the "Beatle Bop", a dance sponsored by the BAA. Proceeds from ,this dance are being used to buy a new time- clock for the gym, The highlights of the evening were the two appearances of the special guests, the Anderson counterparts of the ever-popular British mop-hairs, the Beatles. This group consisted of Tom Kirkwood on drums as_hair- shaking Ringo Starr, with Ted Gow, Gerry Nekkers, and Wayne Yarrow on guitars. The frenzied screams of girls in the audience were evidence of the talent (??) possessed by this quartet.

Seniors In B-Ball By KATHY CUDDY ANNE HENSTOCK On Wednesday, Mar. 11, the teachers of Henry Street High challenged the boys' senior basketball team to a basketball game.
