The Gong Show
Even though it was not the
scene at WCC, one might have
thought it was Hollywood or bust.
On Wednesday, October 7th, the
Student Services along with
U.N.C. of Holly Farms staged
The Gong Show. Some twenty
performers entertained a huge
audience of over 200 people. A
select panel of judges rated each
act according to its originality,
presentation, length, and reaction
from the crowd. The three judges
were Harpo Marx, played by Bob
Johnston, Mini Pearl, played by
Betty Thompson, and Dolly
Parton played by Barbara Peak.
The acts along with their point
totals and places were as follows.
Richard Shumate who played the
guitar and sang Ocean Breezes,
twenty-one points and fourth
place; Beckey Kerley and Tammy
Smith in a jazz dance, twenty-two
points and tied for second place.
Dr. Thompson, John German,
David Hayes, and Sam Sink in
“The Fabulous Four Barber Shop
Quartet.” They were unfortunate
ly gonged. Teresa Church sang
You Light Up My Life, and
received twenty-two points and
tied for second. Andy Pardue,
Randy Calhoun, and Danny
Roten were the Flamer in a dance
act. They were also unfortunately
gonged. Scott Lakey, Gary Katzs,
Jenny Bower, and Robin Sheets
were the Sex Dwarfs. They
received twenty points and fifth
place. Jana Hall sang The Rose,
but did not finish. Robby Choate,
Jeff McCrew, Jeff Wallace, Scott
Caudle, and Wayne Macemore as
Lovertoy received fifteen points
and sixth place. The “Grand
Prize” winner of $75.24 was Kelly
Tolbert and Karmen Choate as
Faze two. Their routine consisted
of a dance act. They finished with
a total of twenty-three points.
In an interview with Alan
Whittington, he noted that this
was one of the best activities that
Student Services has ever spon
sored. The turnout was fabulous,
and the atmosphere was one of
enthusiasm and excitement. When
asked about the future plans of
the Gong Show, Alan said there
are tentative plans of perhaps
having another show in the
spring. Also there are definite
plans of having another show next
fall. In closing, Alan Whittington
along with Student Services would
like to thank all the students and
faculty for supporting this event.

Staff Profile:
Brenda Moore
Brenda Moore has been an
instructor in the English Depart
ment here at WCC for several
years now, and she enjoys her
work tremendously. She went to
the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill and later received
her Masters at Appalachian State
University. Brenda points out that
she feels that it is very important
for a person to have many
interests and to develop these
interests to their fullest potential.
When talking to her, it becomes
evident that she lives out this idea.
Recently she spent one weekend
canoeing on the New River, and
the very next weekend she was in
Winston at the opera Madame
Butterfly. She collects rocks with
which she has created a beautiful
decorative feature for her home.
A few of her many other interests
are gold panning, snow skiing,
horticulture, and hiking. She
enjoys the music of Joe Cocker,
Bobby Dyland, and Delbert
McClinton, and her favorite
movie is Conrad’s Lord Jim. She
loves going to movies, reading,
and any outdoor activity.
Brenda teaches English courses
such as World Literature, Oral
Communications and Composi
tion. She explains that she enjoys
all of her classes, but Literature is
her favorite. She finds the study
of the myth and archetypal
patterns in Literature very
interesting. The nicest thing about
Brenda is that even though she is
an instructor and she has her
Masters, she is still eager to learn
about new things. Recently she
got interested in stocks and bonds
and she enrolled in a course here
at WCC to learn more about
investments. Also Brenda along
with Dianne Wagoner (another
English instructor here at WCC)
attended a Carl Jung seminar this
summer where they studied under
Paul Walder, a Jungian analyst
from the Carl Jung Institute in
Zurich, Switzerland and under
Bernie McDonald, a noted scholar
in Jungian psychology.
When asked what happiness
means to her, Brenda replies with
several things that mean a great
deal to her: her new German
Shepherd puppy, wheelbarrows,
because she so enjoys working in
her yard, yellow roses, pick ups,
yoga, and traveling. In the last 5
years, she has been to all 50 states
except Alaska, to Mexico, to
Canada, to several islands in the
Caribbean and is eager anywhere,
anytime.
Brenda also made it clear that
she loves teaching here and she
gets a kick out of her students. If
you haven’t had the pleasure of
being one of her students yet, be
sure to meet her before you leave
WCC. She is a very interesting
person who has a great zest for
life.
