THE RAMBLER

Versatile Describes Wild Bill' Magers;
Football, Band, Drama, Head Activities
Lookout, TWC! "Wild BLll'* is
on campus. "Wild Bill" is none oth-
er than Bill Magers, who will be
playing the lead in the first TW
Players production, "Send Me No
Flowers."
Versatile is the word to describe
this i rj.d i v i d u a I and yet that
wouldn't fully encompass his many
and varied talents, for he is a
person who is active in almost
every phase of life imaginable,
from-sports to music.
While in junior high and high
school Magers was a member of a
small Dixieland band, of which two
former members are now attending
the Julliard School of Music in
New York. This group was play-
ing one of its many engagemeitts
when Ray Nelson, a talent scout
fpr "Ted Mack's Original Amateur.
Hour," heard them. Nelson immed-
iately wrote Ted Mack and set up
an audition for them.
Now the problem aros? concern-
ing finances. It wasn't long before
this talented and industrious group
came up with a solution. A dance
was sponsored by the group to
raise money for the trip. R. D.
Evans was the place selected for
the dance jmd a near capacity
crowd attended. They had raised
enough money to pay for all the
expenses.
During the period they were in®
New York the group toured the
city extensively and prepared for
the big auditioti.
When the Auditions were over
the exhausted Dixielanders made
their way back to the hotel. Be-
fore they left, they were informed
of their winning and were told
they would be notified when they
were to return to New Yor^ and
appear on the show.
Filled with high spirits and
hopes, Magers' group headed for
home. Visions of fame and for-
tune danced in their heads. Every-
thing seemed to be great, with new
doors being opened and success
seeming to be just around the cor-
ner.
Then the fateful day arrived; But
what was this? "Dear Sirs: We
regret to inform you that the 'Ted
Mac Amateur Houkr' has been
cancelled for the next season."
Despite the fact that the door
to fame and fortune seemed to be
shut, thi§ was only a temporary
setback to Magers. W;hile in high
school, this 5'5" "ball of fire" play-
ed football two years, had major
parts in several shows sponsored
by the drama club and played the
drums for a dance band and the
school lab band.

■^Thi^wee^s column will cater to
brevity, since most of the signi-
ficant happenings could not be
printed. Sadie Hawkins Day comes
but once a year ancj^s far as we
are concerned that's enough.
Switching roles from progressive
to aggressive is not always an
easy thing for boys to do. Condi-
ments like "You look tough" were
given by the girls. Boys signed out
to such places as "woods," "park,"
"Clover" and "destinations un-
known." Here's to 1962 and another
free meal.
The Dogpatch jail was in "full
swing" despite the adverse weath-
er conditions. While being carried
off to captivity, one of our adult
students was overheard saying,
"But I'm an old lady!"
It seems Pat Pearcy took her
role as Moonbeam McSwine literal-
ly when sfie kissed the pig to get
out of jail. By next year, Mike
Smith should have kissed every girl
on campus.
An interesting and unusual dance
about campus is the "Twist." Such
personalities as Smith, Tommy
Thompson, Ronnie McCoy and
Misses Wanda Hunsaker and Bev-
erly Blair "have, perfected the art.
Miss Hunsaker said that the dance
is wonderful for the waistline.
Evidently the DD Pledges don't
agree that this hafc helped Miss
Hunsaker, for they dedicated the
song "Sixteen Tons" to her during
their serenade at Armstrong Hall.
Cl«fcig comments: M-a-s-o-n
J-o-h-n-s-o-n is quite a cowboy at
heart . . . bicycling has become a
popular sport in Men's Hall . . .
Silas Hughes had an anonymous
visitor last Monday night.
Have you heard about the family
that went out to buy a new car
and came back with a bomb shel->
ter? It was more expensive but
"guaranteedwfor life."
With that it's . . . adios.
