Historical Note
The Student Entertainment Service began at Utah State University in 1963 as a branch of ASUSU. It was founded by Gerald Sheratt to create entertainment programs that would both help students develop their talents and to draw attention to the University.
In 1967, Richard Watkins was hired to oversee the program. The program quickly grew to include its own recording studio as well as several different vocal and dance groups which performed both close to home as well as in Europe.
The USU Student Entertainment photograph collection consists of 202 photographs and negatives as well as a variety of documents such as newspaper clippings, postcards, and programs pertaining to Utah State University student entertainment.
Prominent among the photographs are pictures of individual
student performers, orchestral groups, unidentified vocal groups, The Springfields, The Youngtimers, and Village Voices. The collection was probably put together by Richard Watkins, one of the two heads of the student entertainment group.
