Glee Club
Ends
Odyssey
On Sunday of this week, the
Brevard College Gl^ Club re-
turned from a ten-day tour of
choral performances and signt-
seeing.
The choir was well-received
k) the homes and in all the
churches in which they sang.
The Riverside Church in New'
York City especially enjoyed
the Glee Club.
While in New York, the Glee
Club saw many sights of inter
est: a ride to the Statue of
Liberty on the Staten Island
Ferry, Rockefeller Center, the
Cathedral of St. John the Di
vine, Radio City, and Green
wich Village. They also attend
ed two Broadway musicals, “Ap
ple Tree” and “Sweet Charity.”
The day was well-rembered by
t blisters on the feet of all.
Washington was another city
of interest. Here the students
visited the Smithsonian Insti
tute, the National Museum of
Art, the Lincoln Memorial, and
Arlington Cemetery.
The Glee Club and their di
rector, Mr. Harvey Miller, were
well-pleased with the trip.
Many of their performances
took place in the home church
es of some of the college stud
ents. Although there was some
free time, the Glee Club had
14 performances each day.
With such a schedule, the
B. C. students had little time
for a rest; consequently, none
was eager to return to their
classes.

Talent Show Earns $97.27 Roy Attends
The Brevard College faculty
showed their talent and worth
on Friday, April 7, by perform
ing acts ranging from ballet to
magic and earned $97.25 for
the Build-A-School project.
Mr Tauscher introduced the
various talents, leading off
with a magic show by Spies,
Nicholson and Craig, aided by
Agent Bang Bang Fisher. More
entertainment was provided by
Miss Owen, who did a viohn,
cigar, and bubble gum routine,
and Miss Shipman, who deliver
ed a sermon in the style of the
hell-fire and damnation preach
ers.
The Presidential Polecats,
consisting of President McLar-
ty Mr McDonald, and Mr. Roy,

musical talent, especially the
“steal away” scene.

vided the audience with a mod
ern dance gone mod. Mr. Fish
er and Mr. Tauscher added cul
ture to the evening with a bal
let performance. It turned out
to be a jumping exhibition by
Tauscher and a kilt swirling by
Fisher.
Mr. Holcombe made the show
realistic with his well-placed
and well-stated commercials.
The best was the Wishy-washy
for the “one-man population ex
plosion.” The show was climax
ed by Mr. Holcombe and Willa,
a new Dalamation mother, with
her 8 little puppies.
The hilarious show was ex
tremely well received. Many
of the audience were in tears.
Not only did the students en
joy watching the teachers ham
t up, they also were drawn
closer to their instructors,
whose images were changed.
3-State Meeting
Mr. C. Edward Roy recently
attended the two-day campus
Minister’s Convention in Chapel
Hill.
This was a three-state con
ference and included full-time
religious workers with students.
The speakers were outstanding
in their fields and represented
the different areas of Christian
influence on students.
These Christian leaders dis
cussed the philosophy and pro
gram of the church relating to
college students. They discuss
ed ways to “bring the church
to the campus” in the face of
expanding education.
One of the aspects reviewed
was the ecumenical movement,
called the University Christian
Movement in which the denom
inational groups are merged in
to a larger non-denominational
one.
