EXETER - This was
the first year that
South Huron District
High School students
- both past and
present - along with
staff tried their hand
at putting together a
variety show.
The audience en-
joyed the show so
much, they barely
commented on the ex-
treme heat in the gym.
"By Friday night we
had all the bugs
worked out, " said di-
rector Glen-
da Burrell.
She has
been work-
ing on the
show since
December -
ecuiting potential
stars.
"1 thought it would
be great to bring to-
gether people of all
ages in per-
formances, " Burrell
said.
She also said that
anyone who audi-
tioned was able to
take part in the va-
riety night.
"We have a lot of tal-
ented people in the
community and
this was an at-
tempt to spot-
light some of
them, like with
our After Hours
Cdfe, " she said.
By opening
night last
Wednesday
there were
some 40 acts
taking part, in-
cluding prin-
cipal Joe Wood-
en and a few
teachers.
During the
three nights of
entertainment, the
performers kept the
near capacity crowds
amused with music,
dance, comedy and
short readings.
"There was some-
thing for everyone,"
Burrell said.
