Kicking off “Rites of Spring”
week on campus last Saturday
evening was “Entertainment Ex
travaganza ’B3”—a program which
combined the talents of four Miss
Pennsylvania hopefuls, a profes
sional dance trio from Nor
theastern Pennsyvlania, and a
Capitol Campus dancer in a two
hour program in the school
auditorium.
The event was put together in
its entirety by Co-Directors Junior
George Yanoshik and Senior Kim
Guzzi; and, it was sponsored by
the Capitol Times.
S.G.A. Vice-President Chris
Barrett served as the Master of
Ceremonies for the event.
Senior Multi-Media Journalism
student Monica Auld presented an
original dance interpretation to
the theme from the movie
“Flashdance.” She was the only
Capitol Campus student to
perform.
“Although the attendance
wasn’t overwhelming,” said
Yanoshik, “I’m very pleased to
say that, at the end of the pro
gram, people in attendance told
us that the show was a first-rate
production.”
The audience was able to see a
small preview of what next
month’s Miss Pennsylvania con
test in Altoona, PA will entail.
Three of the “hopefuls” were
singers and the fourth young
woman performed a jazz dance
routine.
Jennifer Eshelman, Miss
Pocono, sang the classical aria
“The Laughing Song”-a number
which she will also perform in the
State pageant. She is a 22-year-

Cheryl Bergen, Miss Lebanon
Valley, sang “Don’t Cry Out
Loud”; and Eileen Shull, Miss
Cumberland Valley sang
“Memory”--they, too, will per
form these songs in the upcoming
Miss Pennsylvania Pageant.
Bergen is 22 years old and a
graduate student in social work at
the University of Pittsburgh.
Shull, a music education major at
Messiah College is 21 years old.
A jazz dance to “It Was a
Good Time” was performed by
Gina Filippini, Miss Berks Coun
ty. She is an 18-year-old business
management student at Robert
Morris College in Pittsburgh.
Candice Kennedy and Com
pany, professional dancers from
Wilkes-Barre, PA were able to
please young and old alike by
dancing to both “Hooked on
Swing” and “Whirly Girl.” Ken
nedy, a professional model and
dancer, was Miss Pocono in 1981.
“It is not often that we are
able to get so many exceptional
entertainers together on the same
stage in an evening,” says
Yanoshik. “I am just sorry that
more Capitol Campus students,
faculty members, etc. did not
come out to see the show.”
The program offered something
for everyone’s musical appetites.
From a flashback to the swing
music of the 40’s, to pop and
new-wave music, contemporary
Christian music, classical
numbers, and tunes from Broad
way musicals and movies, all
flavors of music were evident in
the show.
