Choir concert highlights Parent’s Day
by the MA-C NEWS BUREAU
The premier production of
Jimmy and Sarah Owens’ “If
My People” by the Montreat-
Anderson College Singers
highlighted the annual
Parents Weekend festivities at
the college. The largest group
of parents, an estabhshed 240,
attended this activity and
otheres Friday through
Saturday.
Under the direction of
Charles Massey, the 60-voice
choir concertized before an
overflow crowd at the Mon
treat Presbyterian Church.
The musical takes its theme
from II Chronicles 7:14 in the
Holy Bible.
In the passage, God says,
“If my people who are called
by my name humble them
selves, and pray and seek my
face, and turn from their
wicked ways, then I will hear
from heaven, and will forgive
their sin and heal their land.”
As the Scripture indicates, the
musical is a call to God’s
people in American to obey
the scripture for the good of
America.
Overall, the weekend ac
tivities were programmed to
orient the parents to Mon
treat-Anderson College and to
give them an opportunity to
meet with faculty and ad
ministration. Aside from
speeches, student skits and
an entertaining .slide show,
there was a square dance,
intersquad basketball game
and a presidential tea for
everyone’s enjoyment. A
special Sunday morning
church service by the Rev.
Calvin Thielman concluded
the weekend.
Parents elected to parents
council offices Saturday were
John and Francis Hutchinson,
president (parents of Phred
Hutchinson), Jack and Toby
Wilson, vice-president (Tracy
Wilson’s parents) and Jane
and Clayton Kilgore (Julie
Kilgore’s folks).

on how Christianity and
smoking don’t mix.
On Monday in Convocation
there will be a “Rap Session”

students will vote on the issue,
and the results of this vote will
guide the SGA in its decision
on the smoking proposal. This
is NOT a referendum, but an
opinion.
