entertainment spectrum with
an hilarious comedy routine of
songs and monologue*.
The real !-ey to Husky’s suc-

will range from gymnastics to
guitar busting when he senses
the almost omnipresent elec-
tricity being generated be-
tween stage and house.
In the past fewm nthsanew

ed up for Husky and Simon

Ferlin Husky Show Billed As
"Big Business” At County Fair
Folks in Brazoria County spirit of experimentation
may never have heard of the rocketed “Gone’’ so high a-
Missoun hamlet >f Flat River
but after the big sh >w at
the Brazoria County Fair on
October 11 and 12, Fiat River
is going to be known as the
home of the world’sm.^st con-
tented schizophrenic Ferlin
Husky, and alter ego Simon
Crum'
The Husky,Crum combina-
tion are both products of the
same home and family but
their approaches to the light-
hearted business of entertain-
ment differ greatly. They h >ld
one trait in common: both are
veteran crowd pleasers.
That’s what the folks will
know when they attend one of
the four performances at the
25th anniversary celebration
of the fair in Angleton
The shows begin promptly
at 7 p m. (and again at 9:30
p m ) each of the two night?
-- Wednesday and Thursday
of tf ■ appointed dates
Ticket.,, at the door, will
sell for $3 but m«y be pur-
chased prior to fair week for
$2 50 each.
Ferlin Husky's prowess as
an innovator has guided him
past the pitfalls that trapmany
artists. He rose into promi-
nence under the pseudonym
of Terry Preston, but really
rose to stardom when he re-
corded the same song titled
’ Gone” under his real name
He persisted and convinced
Capitol Records to invest
some addition >1 capital in the
recording of * Gone” to the
Jord.’naires and soprano Mil -

girls gymnasium.? have been
recognized as lacking in suf-
ficient space for physical ed-
ucation needs and both are to
be enlarged t • provide more
play area, more lockers, and
more dressing room space.
Another major item includ-
ed in the bond issue is the
expan ion and modernization
of the high school library.
Mr O*Quinn said the pre ent
library can simply be extend-
ed up. tairs into the so-called
«5.*»emldv room which is now
located there With construe -
ti n of an attractive stairway,
the entire second floor area
above the present library can
be.: ed f r book shelving vis-
ual aids, and study area
The superintendent believes
that the library will be suffi-
cient for several generations
area is provided at this time.
Mr. O'Quinn has been quick
to point nut !<■> hoard members
that these needs for the ath-
letic program are not new.
"We knew we needed them
when we voted the last bond
;. - ue.” he said. “But we were
so desperately in need of
classrooms ai that time that
we dired not wait to prepare
this study of other areas in
the School curriculum, else
we might not have had suffi-
cient room- for the increas-
ing enrollment in the mean-
time."
Alvin is soon to complete a
building program which has
included an addition to Mark
Twain School, a new junior
high school, a maintenan~e
building, a new elementary
school, auditorium improve-
ment.'. and air-conditioning of
existing buildings.
The M «rk Twain class-
rooms were in use last year
and the junior high school will
be ready for occupancy next
fall. Bids are to be taken on
Nov. 1 fur the new elementary
s?hool and contracts will be
awarded still later this fall
Ur the m. intenance building
and auditorium improve-
ments.
