Creighton, Judith Ann Murray, Bruce Dickert and Mark Auger also appeared in the 1972 Talent Hunt with success as a winner but failed to place in the final, but this year, showing more poise, placed third. Vocal soloist Stephan Pritch- ard of RR 1, Lucknow, had the audience in the palm of his hand when he sang two numbers in a very pleasing voice, but his color or showmanship was lacking a little so failed to catch the fancy of the judges. Denise Kennedy, RR 2, Tees - water, showed poise when she presented -songs in Western style with her own guitar accompani- ment and later in the prograM was joined by Rosemary Kiefer to present two duets. Jake• Benjamin also did a good job with his singing and guitar playing and Doug Inglis, KR 1, Clifford, presented two songs in a fine manner although he seemed slightly handicapped with a huskiness. , • The Nfildrnay Stepping Dolls, a, young group of three boys .and three girls, were surprisinglyadept with their dance routines.
