tember 19th when the students of MAC
gathered in Howerton Hall parking lot to
rock the night away. The Shag, the Dirty
Dog, the Rock and many other steps
were perfected by the student body as
they danced to the beat of the Big Wise
Sound Factory. Doc and Vince played
many favorites including Another One
Bites the Dust, Sailing, I Wanna Rock
With You, and Stairway to Heaven.
Refreshments were served and a great
time was had by all.

“There was a feeling of expectation
among the group”, said Dean Shore
about the members of the General
Assembly (G.A.) at their first concert of
the year. On Friday, October 3 the 13
member group sang for an eager
audience which consisted of present
students and alumni in Gaither Chapel.
Dean, G.A.’s new group leader said,
“We expected God to really bless us. We
prayed the Lord would have his way and
I tWnk he really did.”
Bobbie Moffit, the group’s new
director, said that she was nervous at
first about the concert, “but I relaxed
halfway through.”
“We prayed about 15 or 20 minutes
beforehand for the performance and for
the spirit to work through us to God’s

glory. We teel iiKe we achieved that by
comments people made.”
Bobbie felt that the Montreat audience
was excellent. “It was good that our first
performance was before the people we
love.”
New G.A. member Kris Rogness said
that she felt nervous being in front of the
people she knows, "because they know
what I’m really like and who I am, not
just somebody standing up there singing,
and that’s what made it scary.”
Kris sang a solo in the last song of the
9oncert, Family. “The verses were
talking to the people in the audience,
asking them about their relationship,
with the Ixird.”
Kris felt the main part of the song was
the chorus which said, “We are all going
home.”
“It,” said Kris,“sort of wraps up the
concert because it talks about us all
going home.”
Other songs in the concert were Create
in Me a Clean Heart, a solo by Dean
Shore called Wonder of Your Love,
Pierce My Ear with soloist Cindy Clay,
Old Buddha (old G.A. members came
forward to help sing this oldie but goodie.
Grinding Stone with soloist Jeannie
Alliman, and a solo by Cindy Moore I am
Your Servant.
The audience seemed to enjoy the
concert. All seemed impressed with the
performance since G.A. has only been
practicing for a few weeks.
About the outcome of the concert
Bobbie said, “I felt it went well. We
didn’t have any bad unexpected sur
prises.”
