A Boogie dance number was presented by four of Mrs. C.C. Fox's dance class; Dee Ann Fox, Cheryle Hayes, Paulette Hayes, and Varya Anderson.
These little girls performed like professionals.

Jerry Bell's solo "Maybe You'll Be There" was much enjoyed by all. The show was brought to a close when Gertrude Selig sang "Secret Love". The show was so well received that plans will be made for another in late June.
