To Dominate Guion
Aggie Follies, 1961, will have
its opening night this Friday, fea
turing a host of sparkling- acts and
entertainment on the Guion Hall
Stage starting at 8 p.m.
Based around a melodrama to be
performed by the Aggie Players,
“She Was Only A Farmer’s Daugh
ter,” the Follies will hold the
theme of a traveling medicine
show, with drama encompassed by
entra acts of varied talent.
As curtain time draws near, the
cast of over 30 performers has be
gun doubling up on final prepara
tions for the massive production.
Informal rehearsals are set for to
night and tomorrow, with dress
rehearsal scheduled Thursday night
in Guion.
Among the talent featured in
the Follies will be the Bengal
Belles, girls’ drill team from Con
solidated High School. Popular
for their half-time performances
at football games and other sport
ing events, both of their high
school and A&M, the Belles have
built an outstanding reputation for
entertainment in the area.
The girls will dance to “Ragtime
Cowboy Joe”, accompanied by
Hugh Glenn on the piano and
Dave Woodard on drums. Members
of the group include Sondra Cov
ey, Judith McCorvey, Blair Perry
man, Nancy Beamer, Shirley Rog
ers, Janet Darrow, and Angela
Wallace.
Other dancers are Marcia Chalk,
Ann Holdredge, Joann Pedigo,
Betty Franklin, Judy Mills, Sherry
Thompson, Betty Mixon, Margaret
Patterson and Wanona Garrett.
Another attraction will be the

pel Singing Five, a group of genu
ine hillbilly singers with mountain
eer style and and corn munching
music.
Members of the group include
Jim Hudson, Butch Edwards,* Olin
Brown and Hugh Magers. The
fifth member is “Luke”, but he’s
always drunk according to one of
the other members of the singing
ensemble.
The quartet (plus one) will pre
sent such numbers as “She’ll Be
Coming Round The Mountain,” and
“Quit Kicking My Dog”. A unique
instrument used by the “Five” is
a bass apparatus consisting of a
wash tub, rope and rod.
Precision timing linked with
comedy are trademarks of the Fly
ing Tramps, A&M’s comic gym
nastics team, who will be another
feature attraction of the Aggie
Follies, 1961.
The Tramps are trampoline ex
perts, with a 15-minute show of

into space above the Guion Hall
Stage and back.
This group is noted for perform
ances during halftimes at Aggie
basketball games, and members in
clude Daryl Good, Charlie Teas,
Henry Walton and David Groves.
On a different note, the show
will also present Glenda Fagan,
talented singer with a smooth, mis
ty touch. This explains her first
selection for the evening, “Misty”,
to be followed by other songs of
her choosing which have not yet
been revealed.
Her siriging experience has been
varied and large; she has sung for
over 40 weddings, and with various
groups in Texas and Louisiana,
besides appearing on television and
radio several times during her ca-
reei'.
Many other acts will also high
light the evening of entertainment,
including professional drummers,
magicians, dancers, and other in
triguing acts. The show will play
two nights, Friday and Saturday,
May 11 and 12, in conjunction with

Featuring a premier perform
ance of the new RCA album, “Tes

The new recording, which was
first offered for sale at the con

Thomas Jefferson between 1774
and 1821 and were taken from
documents such as “A Summary
View of the Rights of British
America”, “Declaration of Causes
and Necessity of Taking Up
Arms,” and “Letter to John
Adams, Monticello, Sept. 12, 1821.”
The piece was composed in hon
or of the 200th anniversary of the
birth of Thomas ilefferson, with
music written by Randall Thomp
son.
On the record’s opposite side are
selections varying from “The Spir
it of Aggieland” to “She Walks In
Beauty” and “Texas Our Texas.”
The 60-voice group under the
direction of Robert Boone, has ap
peared in many places during the
past year, performing before over
7,500 people in traveling over the
state.
Some of the places they have
performed include Dallas, Texas
Women’s University, Refurio, Gon
zales, Weslaco, San Angelo, West
Columbia, Gatesville, Mt. Pleasant,
Pasadena, Baytown, Houston,
Greenville and Fort Worth.
