Choir Sings Lenten Program
EmanonGroup Wins
Praise Last Sunday
Lovers of “Jazz-Rock”
music were given a treat
last Sunday afternoon
when the Elon College
Emanons, the college s
popular stage band com
bo, appeared in concert
in Whitley Auditorium.
The program was open
to the music lovers of
the area as well as col
lege students.
The band unit, which
includes sixteen students,
performed under the di
rection of Prof. Jack O.
White. It is not a new
band group, for the Ema-
nons won nationwide
praise some years ago
when the band was twice
invited to play a series
of weekend concerts at
the New York Worlds
Fair.
The band, organized at
that tims, even has an in
teresting name, for the
word Em anon is really
“No Name” spelled back
ward. The Emanons re
cently attracted large au
diences in a tour of high
schools in North Carolina
and Virginia.
The Sunday afternoon
program featured the
same music that won ac
claim on that tour, offer
ing the jazz arrangements
of Shorty Rogers, Nat
Pierce and a new ar
ranger by the name of
Neil Slater, Members of
the Emanon band include
