| Transcript | Judges List "Top Five'* Shows in Order A bad fix to be in. Bella Union First Place Zeta Tau Alpha and Sigma Chi Four top acts led Bella Union to first place in the '56 Fiesta. Under the direction of Dick Bonelle, the production moved swiftly through tales of the backwoods folk in a colorful musical style. Fiesta's first mink clad chorus line brought comment from the audiences while cowboys dressed in red shirts and purple frontier pants shocked color-conscious viewers. Doug Fairchild hands out a little advice with "Marry a Woman Uglier Than You." Fiesta's first mink dance line. Silver Moon Second Place Chi Omega and Sigma Alpha Epsilon For the second time Mister Moon related a tale of the frontier moving west. The new metal home of the "Moon" added to the professional atmosphere of the entire production. Norma Brady, Pat Jacques and Marsha Hicks repeated their trio act with the same cute freshness as last year. Jay Strickland and Tom Collins rollicked through punch line humor. This well-rounded show ran off with second place in the judging. Norma Brady, Pat Jacques and Marsha Hicks in a return engagement to the '56 Moon. • * Housewarming at the "new" Moon The Moon's Mexican hat dancers swirled before the viewers. 290 291 |
