This 1965 photograph shows the Apple Cider Singers ready to perform in the 17th Annual Mountain Youth Jamboree. The members from left to right are Jerry Clevenger, Margaret Riddle, Ramona Penland, John Penland, and Amelia Penland (seated in front). Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University.
