Drew Anderson, Plainsville junior and assistant producer-director of in-between acts this year, said, "I personally feel the groups are farther along this year than they were this time last year."
Allen Purvis, Topeka senior and producer of Rock Chalk, said, "Since the groups were able to start practicing in Hoch four or five days earlier this year, they are better than this time last year.
"About 90 per cent of all Rock Chalk participants are frustrated actors who acted and danced in high school, so they don't lack experience," he said.

TOUCH AND GO
While others in this year's Rock Chalk Revue cast rehearsed on stage in Hoch Auditorium, these two dancers—and several others—took advantage of the less cluttered atmosphere in the auditorium lobby to practice.
And, for good reasons...like smart styling a guaranteed perfect center diamond (or replacement assured) . . . a brilliant gem of fine color and modern cut.
