PAGE 2 — THE COUGAR CRY, MAY 10, 1974 SHOCKS WOfTl tSiCAM f MISS MUFFLER DR. GORDAN WINGARD Time To Pray ... Etc. From dryers to mufflers — what’s next in the stardom- bound-advertising career of our very own April Couch? The picture here was taken on location at the recent film ing of April’s latest production, THE X-RATED MUFFLER. If By Diane Prevette As this school year draws closer to an end, there is a feel ing of joy and excitement for everyone. But to many of the sophomores it is also a time of sadness and a time to take a look back over the past two years at WCC. The college has played a spe cial part in the lives of the students. There are the in structors who have not only been teachers but who have also been real friends. They are willing to take time out to talk over your problems or just to have a friendly conversation. To them, you’re not just one of those faces in the crowd, but you are an individual. The students here at WCC have all been very friendly. It’s almost as if .you never meet a stranger. Wilkes Com- WCC Enjoys Superstar Highlights from Jesus Christ Superstar were presented by the Starmount Band and Chorus in the WCC main audi torium Friday, April 26, at 10:00 a.m. The performance was out standing and exemplary of the rewards of Choral work, dedi cation, and interest. At the end of the concert the perform ers received a standing ovation. Although the entire perform ance was good, special recogni tion must be given certain in dividuals. Judas, represented by Mark Magdalene, by Pat Brown led the score expertly. Following tightly with good timing was the Rack Rhythm section: Becky Harris on piano, , Dwayne Holloway on piano bass, and Alex Johnson on the guitar. The strength of the trumpets, with Keith Wagoner as solo- tmmpeter, gave the band a good strong character, and Lin da Harrison’s piccolo solo and Janet Steelman’s 1st flute gave it the tenderness that the script required. The elaborate dress of the choir and the costumes of the vocal soloists, with the back stage, arranged by Mike Hamby, and the proper lighting by John Fowler, combined to give WCC a professional performance. A congratulatory “Thank You” to Mr. J. P. Van Hoy, choir direct or, and Mr. Bob Mayer, orches tra director. you didn’t see it on TV last week, you have just missed out. But she is makng another muffler movie this week, THE RETURN OF THE X-RATED MUFFLER. Watch for it. Varoom — Varoom! Picture compliments of Reid, Lesie & Faw, North Wilkesboro. munity College seems to be en- •veloped in a special closeness. Oh yes, it is a time for remin iscing about those times — re membering registration, worry ing over tests, overdue library books, Servomation food, com muting seventy miles per day, the College Theater, class dis cussions, studying until three a.m., a smile and many other unforgettables. But I especially remember the happiness of being a part of this college. I will depart from Wilkes Community Col lege feeling as if I will always belong. “Thanks for the mem ories.” Indeed they are pre cious and forever with me.

But the SGA, no matter how cap able the officers, can do very little without the support of the student body. Wilkes Commun ity College is very fortunate to have officers of such a high caliber. Join with them as they work to make this school the best. GEORGE DEVEREUX, lU George Devereux, III, whom WCC students will remember from ZOO STORY, ANTI GONE, etc., joined the U. S.

Keep On T rucking! In this case it’s more like busing! The diesel mechanics students, along with diesel stu dents from Forsyth Technical Institute in Winston-Salem, are going to Allentown, Pennsyl vania, to tour the Mack Truck Assembly Plant on May 9. Some of the instructors going are Frank Bright, Hugh Hash, and Ford Rash. Transportation for the tour will be the WCC activity bus, which the Forsyth diesel stu dents painted in their school body shop as their contribution toward the trip. Forsyth also loaned the seats out of an ex tra bus they have to go in the WCC bus. In addition, Forsyth has loaned the use of their ex tra bus’ rear end. (In case a few of you missed the article in an earlier issue THE COUGAR CRY about the activity bus, here are a few facts: The bus was purchased from Govern ment Surplus in Raleigh, and the diesel students have been repairing and rebuilding it.) For the past 2 months, WCC diesel students have been cut ting pulp wood behind Lovette Hall where the new diesel shop is to be built. They have earn ed enough money cutting pulp wood to pay for their trip. We certainly wish these hard working diesel mechanics a happy, well-deserved trip.

Dr. Wingard came to WCC in the spring of 1972, where he has been a part-time instructor until this quarter. While re flecting on his role as an in structor at WCC, Dr, Wingard expressed his enjoyment of teaching here, especially be cause of the unusual freedom he has been given as a teacher. Prior to Winter Quarter of 1973, he also served as caretak er at Elk Shoals Methodist Camp. Before his arrival at Wilkes Community College, Dr. Wing ard taught at the University of Montana and at Appalachian State University. He began his collegiate involvement as a freshman at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass achusetts. Dr. Wingard receiv ed an A.B. in Philosophy and Classical Languages from the Sulpician Seminary of the Northwest in Seattle, Washing- You know, six quarters ago decisions didn’t come easily and those that did held uncertain as to their possibilities. How ever, one decision was made and that was to continue my education at Wilkes Community College. Thank God for that decision, and thank God for WCC. Thanks to: The Board of Trustees for giving their support to an out standing college. President Thompson for bringing this college to the status it maintains today. The administration for their helpfulness, kindness, and friendly faces. The friends I have met and shall never forget as they have shaped my future life. The many students who have taken an active interest in campus activities and have left their achievements as result. The faculty for its knowledge and dedication. Personal Thanks to . . .

He received his Masters in Philosophy in 1968 and his Ph.D. in 1970, both from Syracuse University, In the middle of June, Dr. Wingard, “the Ashe County philosopher-in-residence,” will be leaving with his family for his home in Tacoma, Washing ton. He plans to “return to re tirement,” a less busy way of life in which he and his family will have “time to pray and grow things.” Dr. Wingard states that Anne, his wife (and the mother of their two chil dren: Jody, 3 and Kate, 1), will be retiring permanently. Dr. Wingard may also cam paign to have compulsory edu cation declared unconstitutional under the provisions of the First Amendment, He plans to try to “live out an alternative to compulsory education while living responsibly (responsively) in our technocratic society.” According to the 1974 edition of INFORMATION PLEASE ALMANAC, North Carolina has the second highest taxed gaso line in the nation.

Also, for her lecture of the “Origin of Life.” Nithi Klinkosum, who has counseled me for my future ed ucation and who has laid the foundation for my personal philosophy. Also for introduc ing me to other cultures than my own. Roger Larson, who translated math into English. Bud Mayes, who introduced me to the magic, ritual, and ex citing world of the Theatre. Rob McNeill for his com ments on psychological inter pretations of literature. Bill Moffett for his inspiring me to grow a beard and for his witty humor and for his wife, Ann (not what you think). Brenda Moore, who taught me to “B. Moore Specific.” Mary Sturdivant, who taught me to write. Nancy Whittington, who taught my two left feet to cha- cha-cha and that LOVE has finally been defined as ZERO. But most importantly, I wish to give a very special thanks to Diane Prevette who led me to WCC in the first place. God bless her; God bless you. And THANKS. —Ron White A Time To Remember THANKS
