WILKESBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
OCTOBER 30, 1973
FRESHMAN OFFICERS ELECTED
BILL MOFFETT TAPS A TUNE ON TYMPANI
WCC ORCHESTRA
By Robert Goforth
If you are wondering froitn
whence those dulcet descants
are coming on Monday eve
nings, you will be pleased and
excited to know that Wilkes
Community College now has its
own symphony orchestra under
the apt direction and patronage
of Dr. Robert Mayer.
Membership of the orchestra
is drawn from the college staff
and student body and talented
people from the Wilkes com
munity. Among those on the
staff who are participating are
Dr. Mayer, conducting, Joseph
Austell, saxaphone; Pete Mann,
trombone; Bill Moffett, percus
sion; and Bob Goforth, violin.
We have received some nice
compliments from those people,
bless their hearts, who believe
in encouragement. At the pres
ent time, however, we feel that
we are not ready for serious
criticism.
The orchestra is presently en
gaged in a series of children’s
concerts in which all the ele-‘
mentry schools in Wilkes, as
well as some in Ashe and Alle
ghany, county will be visited.
We are very excited at having
the opportunity to bring enjoy
ment to a lot of kids who have
never heard orchestral music
before. Who knows what po
tential musical great might be
in the audience?
Left to riffht: Dr. Robert Mayer, Dr. Michael Lewis, Rob McNeiL
Dr. Mayer and Rob McNeil chat with iruest speaker.

Love Bug Bites LRC
Miss Audrey Johnson and
Mr. Gary McNeil of the Learn
ing Resources Center were
married October 15, 1973.
Miss Peggy Byers, the newest
secretary in the Learning Re
sources Center will be leaving
Wilkes Community College on
“spooks day.” We hope* the
only spook that gets her will
be her husband-to-be, which is
the reason she’s going away.
The other LRC lovely that
will be getting wed is Miss Kay
Miller. She will be leaving the
last of November to get ready
for her marriage in December.
