Ensemble To Play
Friday Night
Have you heard those crazy
sounds that have been drifting out
of the auditorium lately? Sounds
like Gene Krupa sometimes. Of
course we haven’t even heard a
part of what we’ll have a chance
to hear tonight. At 8:15 o’clock in
the auditorium, Mr. Peter Ford and
the Brevard College Percussion
Ensemble, under the direction of
Professor Nelson F. Adams, will
give forth some very different and
unusual sounds. The members of
Uhe ensemble are: Peter Ford, Mrs.
'Louise Miller, Elizabeth Whise-
nant, Jeannette Miller, Harvey Pul
liam, and David Feijoo. Mary Sue
Drum will give a reading to their
mad rhythm.
Mr. Ford has arranged a Bach
prelude and fugue, a Shakespear
ean sonnet, and a sonata-allegro
for the percussion group. He will
play two pieces by Liszt, “Apres
Une Lecture De Dante” and “Hun
garian Rhapsody No. 6.”
Listen to some of these various
I instruments the members of the
j ensemble are going to beat, blow,
I tickle, or otherwise stimulate. Pi
ano, glockenspeil, police whistle,
bird whistle, 3-way locomotive
whistle, siren, cow bell, and steel
sheets. These are only a few, how
ever, and we think that if you
come, you will certainly enjoy the
evening.
Religious Emphasis Week was
observed at Brevard College, Feb
ruary 19-22.
Rev. E. H. Bendall, pastor of the

day mornings at 10:00 in the col

their religion and problems.

Tuesday evening, 6:30—
THE PURE IN HEART
Wednesday morning, 10:00—
THE CONFESSIONAL EVERY

us find a deeper insight into our
faith.

ROBERT LITTLE
Robert Little Elected
New Social Chairman
An important position held m
any campus is that of social chair
man. Brevard has, for sometime,
been without someone who could
serve ‘full-time” in this capacity,
which is, certainly, a job requiring
much of one’s time in planning
and supervising campus social ac
tivities. Bobby Little of Charlotte,
has been petitioned and appointed
by the student council to be sodai
chairman for the remainder of this
school year.
Bobby is a graduate of East
Mecklenburg high school. He is a
member of the Clarion staff, fea
ture editor of the Pertelote and^a
cheerleader. He plans to major In
the social sciences and eventually
to teach histoi^f or fjvics.
However, when questioned as id
his rnain interest 'feobbj replied,
