Their first exhibition was proof of tigers on their tails. Dropping their drawers wasn't enough, so they swallowed live goldfish. The act definitely wasn't gonged soon enough. Being a bit perturbed at the emcee's presence onstage, the Bates House splatted red whipped in his face, and on his recently changed tuxedo. A dancer on the stage was aided by some jazz, and there were other musical acts all through the show. Some songs were taken seriously and were performed well. These were: 'Fire on the Mountain,' an original piece, 'Mood for the Day,' an Elvis tribute; 'Don'i it make your Brown Eyes Blue?'; 'Love the une you re wun ; ana Yesterday.' The winner of the show was a touching act performed by Doug Hudson and Robert Coleman. They played 'R's Too Late' and 'Isn't She Lovely' on the saxophone and piano. They received a standing ovation and received a perfect score of 40. MICKEY MOUSE paid a visit, and entertained the audience with his circle of friends such as Gary Grant with all his 'Judies.' Mickey also imitated Nixon. (Nixon's victory was this act's defeat.) One student came on the stage as a deformed creature, finally revealing himself.

This act blended classical jazz and country into one delightful performance. Cio'Candyman Comedy was a bomb and so was Kicky Foster and Company. ETB Dance Company managed to stay on stage for the duration of their act. One Carolina character proved he could cnug a Deer upside down. He too finished his act before being gonged. Several masked marauders, however, failed to make it past the first few seconds. The show was fun and entertaining. The proceeds all went to Carolina Cares. Everyone was relieved when the show was over, especially after the emcee's last joke: Q. How do you know that Adam came from Clemson? A.
