SAMPLE OF WORKS BY BOBBY FOSTER
HE LIKES BAD GUYS
Bobby Foster, a hard work
ing art student, has produced
many fine pieces of sculpture.
The media Bobby uses most
often are clay and stone. He
does not use live models or
photographs in his work to ex
press his ideas. He says, “The
ideas just come out of my
head.”
The figures, which are about
ten inches high, would probab
ly be called realistic, but they
are not photographic. They are
left somewhat rough textured
Jazz Concert
At Wilkes
On January 29 at 10:00 a.m.
in the Teaching Auditorium,
there will be a concert featur
ing the Appalachian State Uni
versity Concert Jazz Band un
der the direction of Mr. Scott
Meister.
The ASU Concert Jazz Band
is a large ensemble of some 25
musicians. Their program will
include a number of arrange
ments of contemporary rock
songs as well as traditional
jazz standards.
It promises to be a very en
joyable program and all stu
dents and staff are invited to
attend.
and sketchy, adding even more
character to the already strong
personalities of his “mountain
folk:” His works are as yet
utitled. He simply calls them
drunks, bad guys, and sheriffs.
Sculpture, like music and all
other art, is a form of expres
sion and communication. Bob
by’s sculpture expresses sensi
tive feeling, a vivid imagina
tion, and communicates in ev
eryday language. It can be seen
in the Commons Art Exhibit,
February 3. Bobby’s works
must be viewed individually,
for each figure has its own
story to tell.
Special Thanks
To WWC

WWWC RADIO, with its
neverending seach for ways to
sustain its already unselfish
community service image has
done it again. Under the good
management of WWWC RADIO
and with the help of our own
John McCann, arrangements
have been made to broadcast
the remainder of the COUGAR
home basketball games. We
thank them for their part in
helping make this the Wonder
ful World of Wilkes County.
Statue Of
Dr, Thompson
Virgie Church
Some very talented artists
have modeled from the clay of
WCC a two-thirds life-size sta
tue of Dr. Howard Thompson.
Having a hand in the sculpting
were Dr. Robert Mayer and his
sculpture class students: Diane
Call, Brad Davis, Bobby Foster,
Hight Helms, Grace Russell,
and Ralph Williams. The sta
tue is so large it had to be fired
in sections.
Now the parts are all fitted
together, and the finishing
touches are being made. The
statue will be exhibited along
with some other students’ art
work through the Orchestral
Concert at the Commons Art
Exhibit February 2, through
10.

Memorial Scholarship Fund
Set Up For Charter Member
HOWARD BE THY NAME
Mrs. Margaret Sue Rhodes
Lovette of North Wilkesboro,
who was a charter member of
the Board of Trustees of Wilkes
Community College, died Sun
day night, January 5.
Mrs. Lovette, the daughter
of Archie D. and Lena Little
Rhodes, was born April 22,
1925.
She served on the board of
directors and was secretary-
treasurer of Holly Farms Poul
try Industries, Inc. until she
retired in 1972.
Mrs. Lovette was a member
of Wilkesboro Baptist Church.
An alumna of Appalachian
State University, she was a
charter member of the Presi
dent’s Committee and a con
tinuous member of the ASU
Foundation.
Dr. Howard Thompson says,
“The trustees and the adminis
tration of Wilkes Community
College will definitely miss the
presence of Mrs. Lovette on the
board. She was appointed in
1964 before there was a col
lege or a president. Mrs.
Lovette was instrumental in the
choice of site of this institu
tion and had worked diligently
for the college since the date
of her appointment.”
A Memorial Scholarship
Fund has been set up for Mrs.
Margaret Lovette at Wilkes
Community College.

It’s A-Mayes-ing
Ten hapless persons trapped
in an elevator inside a fifty-
story building sounds like one
of the run-of-the-mill suspense
dramas of today’s boring tele
vision.
But Bud Mayes has taken
"The Lost Elevator,,” a one-act
play written by Percival Wilde
in the early 1930’s and trans
formed it into a hilarious
heartwarming story adapted for
children.
The play will be presented
by the Wilkes Community Col
lege Drama Department at the
elementary schools of Wilkes
County. In order to better
serve the younger generation of
the county, the show will be
presented during school hours.
The following make up the
cast:
An engaged man, John Mc
Cann; A small man in a hurry,
Jon Dancy; A big easygoing
man, Virgil Adams; A book
salesman, Chuck Bowers; A
messenger girl, Kim White
sides; The elevator operator,
Mike Elledge; An engaged
young woman, Terrie Callihan;
A nice old lady, Karen Wheel
ing; A romantic old maid, Mar
garet Montgomery; A house
wife, Terri Adams; A girl with
a dentist appointment, Kim
Whitesides. John McCann
