Haig swings
USO Dance
The razor-sharp performance of
classic big-band arrangements by
the Johnny Haig Orchestra electrified the hundreds of dancers, many
dressed in 30's and 40's styles, at the
Allied Arts Council's "USO Dance" at
the Showboat Sports Pavilion November
14.
At one point in the evening, the t\/1aureen Hopkins Dancers took over the
stage with an energetic, sexy, jitterbugging tribute to the Swing Era. The evening's festivities, orchestrated by Judy
Tarte, Dance Chairman, and Vince Manfredi, Master of Ceremonies, included
military uniform and 40's costume contests and a swing dance competition.
Many thanks to Centel and the Showboat Hotel and Casino, co-sponsors of
the event, and to the USO Dance Committee: Tarte, Cheryl Colllnsworth, Mary
Coxson, Gwen Gibson, Sally Rigg and
Mary Scodwell, for creating such an enjoyable event.
The Board of Directors of the Allied
Arts Council and the USO Dance Committee wish to thank the following individuals, merchants and corporations for
