This 1965 photograph, taken by Asheville Citizen-Times photographer Ewart McKinley Ball, Jr. (1918-1966), shows Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Peaton sitting at the piano with their daughters Jean Lorraine and Barbara Jewel. Mrs. Peaton was formerly Billie Jo Mace who won 4 awards during her time in the Mountain Youth Jamboree from 1955 to 1959. 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.
