Fine Arts Series To Present
Beneini And Lee November 8
As one student said, "They’ll
pop that popular to you and soothe
you with that classical.” This
was a reference to Beneini and
Lee, duo pianists who will ap
pear at SCC’s first concert in the
college’s Fine ArtsSerles. Their
concert will be given in the White-
vllle High School auditorium at
8 p.m. on Nov. 8. Classical and
popular music from Bach to
Gershwin will be presented. They
will play selections such as
“Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,”
Jamaican Rhumba,” “Ritual Fire
Dance,” “Arkansas Traveller,”
"Hungarian Rhapsody,” and
“March of the Lunatics.”
Students are admitted free to
this and all other concerts in the
series. Their activity fees give
them this privilege. The con
cert is also open to the public,
who may obtain tickets at the
door. In spite of the fact that
several thousand dollars was paid
out last year, these concerts were
poorly attended. As a result,
this year’s committee designed
the series to have more popular
appeal. The committee hopes to
provide students and community
with fine entertainment on a level
hitherto unavailable in this area.
“The Tams are great,” said one
committee member, “but com
pared to Beneini and Lee, they
are just another noisy combo
like we always have around
here.” Beneini and Lee are
something exciting and different.
Critics rave about Beneini and
Lee. They are “magnificent
pianists” and musicians of “high
rank.” As duo pianists, their
balance technique is unbelievable
an uncommon sense of unified
interpretive playing. Another
critic says, "The brilliant finale
is pianlstlc fireworks at Its
best.” Beneini and Lee make
every note explode with a dazzling
brilliance.”
If people attend the concert,
they will be pleasantly surprised.
Critics rave about Beneini and
Lee. Attend this concert and you
will rave about them also!

Mr. Norris also stated that

ATTENTION FRESHMEN STU
DENTS! Did you know that South
eastern Community College has a
symbol? Well, we do; A bell, and
to the returningSophomores,this
is the school symbol.
Let me take just a moment and
turn time back to last year and
explain just how there came to be
a bell at S.C.C.
Interest In the bell first began
when Kenneth Williamson, David
Barden, and BUI Gllsson noticed
a small rope dangling down the
side of the building. The temp
tation to pull the rope was to
great for the trio; so with com
bined weight they tugged. To the
amazement of the party involved,
a clangorous boom sounded
throughout the countryside. What
the trio had found was an
old school bell that had been used
in the early days of the Chadboum
schools. For a number of years
It had been resting on top of the
old Chadbourn High School, un
used and unwanted.
One week later during the still
ness of the night, the trio, ac
companied by Roy Herring pro
ceeded to climb to the top of the
building.
The purpose of this adventure
was to take the measurements
of the bell and existing supports.
With this important data, plans
fo the removal of the bell to the
new campus were begun. How
ever, on the following Thursday
afternoon as Ronnie Barden and
Bill Gllsson were ringing the
bell to summons chorus mem
bers a tragic moment befell the
bell, the rope broke, thus silenc
ing the tone of the old bell,
that had for many years called
to class the students of Chad
bourn. On June 4, 1967 the bell
was taken from Uie old build
ing and transported to the new
college site where it lay idle
and unattended all summer.
Since coming to Southeastern
Community College, Mr. E. Phil
lip Comer, President, has been
very concerned with Uie bell and
has worked diligently with the
committee on making suitable
plans for a temporary mount to
place it on. Then it is to be set

manent mount outside on the
grounds can be erected to hold

stead of $150. Any qualified
veteran with more than one child
will be paid an additional $10
per month for each child be
ginning with the second child.
Mr. Nance would like to re
mind all veterans that an en
rollment certificate must be
mailed to the Veterans Adminis
tration Regional Office in
Winston-Salem, N.C. Mr. Nance
also stated that, “any veteran
is welcome to come by my office
for advice or information con
cerning the G.L bill.”
Drama Club
Plans Plays
In the second year of organiza
tion, the SCC Drama Club is
rapidly expanding, both in mem
bership and in its capacity to aid
the college in its Fine Arts pro
gram.
Tom Rothrock, president of
the club, said he expected 25 ac
tive members and several who
will participate on a part-time
basis. According to Rothrock,
the club will be responsible for
guiding the visiting professional
entertainers who will be per
forming throughout the year
around the campus and college
community. After the success of
last year’s Strawberry Follies,
they plan to give a Spring Va
riety Show. It is hoped that the
entertainment will be entirely
provided by the student and fac
ulty participants. Rothrock added
that anyone wishing to join the
group as an entertainer or stage
technician may do so by contact
ing him or Bill Love.
Tentative plans for the produc
tion of several plays are In pro
gress. At present, the incom
pletion of the new auditorium
makes it impossible to be sure
of Its availability to stage the
plays.
This
College
Is Yours.
Treat It
With
Respect!
Order your college rings here! Students gather around Mr. Louis
Moore of Star Engraving Company. It is hoped that deUvery of the
rings will be around mid-January.
