Wilson Concerts Highlights
The appearance of Mitch
Miller and his orchestra will be
one of the main highlights of the
season. He will appear in Wilson
on Oct. 8 in Fike High School
auditorium. A unique and
dominating force in American
musical life for almost four
decades. Miller has built a
formidable reputation as a
creator and innovator in every
single facet of music-making.
Lucy Peacock, an ex
ceptionally beautiful and
talented young soprano, will
appear in Wilson on Feb. 19.
Following her graduation from
Northwestern University’s
School of Music, she traveled to
Berlin, Germany where she
became a member of Deutsche
Oper Berlin and had her first of
many successes as Nedda in a
new production of “Pagliacci.”
Her recital repertoire shows
her enormous versatility as it
ranges from Schubert to
Poulenc, Stravinsky and Pizetti.
Her operatic repertoire includes
more than 14 roles.
Longstreth and Escosa, duo-
harpists, will appear here on
Feb. 11. They have delighted
audiences with the variety of
their musical presentations, the
power and strength of their
transcriptions and per
formances, and with the
renewed statue they are
bringing to the harp. Ap
pearances in New York’s Town
Hall and Carnegie Recital Hall
have brought many critical
plaudits.

pear on the campus of Atlantic
Christian College on Tuesday,
Sept. 25. He is presently the head

20th century ocomposers all

Bids For
President
My name is Chris Allen, and 1
am running for freshman class
president. Among other duties of
the president, he is to represent
the class on the executive board.
The executive board supervises
all campus elections. It also
presents a budget to the Student
Government Association for
approval, and promotes a
general atmosphere of
cooperation among the student,
faculty and administration.
The freshman class of ACC
has great potential, if given the
right leadership. I would con
sider it an honor and privilege to
be president, and if elected, I
will represent the freshman
class to the utmost of my ability.
Your support would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.
