GUEST STAR—The proud name of Amaya is synono-
mous with flamenco. Perhaps more than any other,
this outstanding gypsy dynosty has consistently
produced artists of the highest calibre in oil fields of
this ancient art. Chuny Amaya was born in Brussels,
Belgium, during a triumphant concert tour of her aunt.
Chuny has been performing in public since she was
four years old, and recently appeared on the stage at
McDowell Columns.
n?ree Places / Recall
I believe that seeing things
makes more of an impression on
one than learning facts from a
book. This is one of the reasons
that I believe travel is so im-
pcrtant. Going to a place and
seeing where import^t events
have taken place, to me, is much
more worthwhile. In the
following paragraphs, I shall
describe three such places which
have impressed me only until I
actually saw them.
Reading about ancient Rome
with all its many great buildings
and fountains was merely
something that I was required to
learn in history class. In my
sophomore year of high school, I
was given an opportunity to go to
Europe on a World Academy
tour. After almost nine hours of
flying, our plane landed in Rome.
During our stay there we were
taken on various guided tours
through the city. The famous
CoUiseum greatly interested me
because of its enormity. I had to
be three or more street blocks
away from the Colliseum in order
to take a picture. The fairly good
condition of the Colliseum did not
suggest its age at all. We saw
by
Ann L. Rainey
many other fountains and
buildings along with the
Colliseum such as the Sistine
Chapel and the Forum. If I had
not received the opportunity to go
to Rome, the buildings and their
histories would still be merely
facts in a book to me.
Our second country on the tour
in Europe was Switzerland. This
country is a perfect example of
the philosophy that things make
more of an impression by seeing
them. Mountains are majestic,
but reading about them is rather
dull. When we reached the Alps, I
thought that I would never see
mountains any more beautiful.
The villages o:i the mountain
sides give the mountains
character and something in
teresting. The tops of the
mountains, with pure, white snow
covering them, are what give the
mountains beauty. At sunset, the
snow reflects the orange in the
sun and the mountain tops look as
(hough they are covered with
icing.
In 1967 my family and I
traveled to Canada to see Expo
’67. While in Canada we visit^
other providences, one of which
was Quebec. The British in
fluence in the architecture gives
this city a charming personality.
The Artist’s Mall was the most
interesting to me. Each young
artist had a sad tale of sick
children and sick wives. Many
that are very good, proclaim that
they have never had an art lesson
in their lives. They say it comes
merely from inspiration. The old
hotels with their histories add to
the atmosphere of Quebec. 'Dieir
roofs are painted tourquoise and
the hotels themselves are usually
built of stone. Begging in the
street by little children is all a
part of the tourist attractions
which make Quebec a beautiful
and interesting providence.
I like to travel and see the
world because it broadens my
education and helps me to un
derstand more about the places I
have studied. I hope to travel to
more places before I die. Meeting
pec^le from a different place is
an education in itself because
they are what reflect the culture.
TVaveling has helped me to be
more interested in people, which
I feel is important in life.

College Choir Makes TV
Program of Yule Music
By Beckie Workman
The Chowan College Choir,
consisting of twenty-eight
students, traveled to Raleigh on
Sunday November 4, to telecast a
Christmas program on WRAL-
TV, Channel 5. The presentation
“Songs of The Yuletide Season”
is a ministry of the Baptist
State Convention. Each year two
choirs from North Carolina
Baptist colleges are chosen to
tape a Christmas program.
Chowan College along with
Gardner Webb were chosen this
year. Duplications of the telecast
are made and offered to
television stations across the
state for telecast.
Dr. James Chamblee, Chair
man of the Department of Fine
Arts, directed the Chowan
College Choir. The accompanist
was Susie Lassister. Mr. Jimmy
Morriss, Director of Department
of Communications for the N. C.
Baptist State Convention,
narrated the program.
A Christmas without music
would be a poor Christmas, fqr
the Christian faith has always
characterized the joy of God’s
people through song. The Chowan
College Choir expressed the
Christmas story through various
selections of Christmas music.
The choir began their story with
Bach’s Christmas Oratorio titled
“Beside Thy Cradle Here I
Stand”. The second and third
selections date back before the
17th century and were used first
in pageants, “Tomorrow Shall Be
My Dancing Day” and “Coventry
Carol”. The fourth and fifth
selections are sacred songs,
“Christ Was Born On Christmas
Day” and “Lo, How a Rose E’er
Blooming”. At this time Dr.
Bruce Whitaker, President of
Chowan College, brought a
Christmas greeting.
The presentation continued
with two American folk-melody
numbers, “Rise Up Shepherd
and Follow”, and “Hush, My
Babe, Lie Still In Slumber”,
which was accompanied with a
flute solo performed by Mr. Bob
Brown, of the Chowan music
department. The eighth selection
was the Welsh tune “Deck the
Halls”. The ninth selection was
the familiar “O, Come All Ye
Faithful”. In the next selection
Chowan College Choir brought
their musical wish for the holiday
season with the traditional
English carol “I Wish You a
Merry Christmas”. The choir
concluded their presentation with
“The First Noel”.
The Chowan College Choir will
be singing with the local com
munity choir in the Christmas
cantata “The Messiah”, on
Friday December 14, in Mur
freesboro. The choir may
schedule another taping in early
December at Washington, N. C.
