BELLES OF ST. MARY’S April 28, 1961 Dr. Broughton Honored At Special Chapel Service On April 17, a special Chapel service was devoted to Mr. Russell Broughton in honor of his twenty- first anniversary at St. Alary’s. Dr. Moultrie Guerry read several appropriate prayers from the St. IMary’s Centennial Cantata, which Mr. Broughton composed in 1942. The officers of the choir then con ducted the remaining part of the service. In appreciation of his devoted service and interest, Sue Creech, in behalf of the choir and St. Mary’s chapel, presented Mr. Broughton with a beautiful choirmaster’s robe and hood. The insignia on the robe denoted his being a Fellow of the American Guild of Organists. The admittance into this guild is one of the highest achievements an or ganist can attain. .Jody Blackwell gave a brief bio graphical sketch of his personal life. Mr. Broughton was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. From his early youth, he was a great reader. His teachers were quite surprised at the number of books he had read outside class. He still reads as much as possible. At Oberlin College Air. Brough ton received his Alaster’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Music. In 1928 he became a Fellow of the American Guild of Organists. Having the highest grade on an e.xamination participated in by or ganists from all over the country, Air. Broughton won a scholarship in 1928 to study in France at the American Conservatory at Fon- tainbleu. He taught at Converse College, in Spartanburg, for five years, when Dr. Stone was also there. In 1940 he came to St. Alary’s to direct the choir and teach. Although he had previously com posed numerous anthems and or gan pieces. Air. Broughton has tak en a fresh start in composing in the last two or three years. Pub lishers are very much interested in accepting his compositions. Cydne AVright then gave a short resume of some of his works as a composer. Air. Broughton is widely known as an outstanding composer of church music. Often he can be heard in his studio playing and practicing his works. Having recently completed an anthem for Palm Sunday, he is now composing a Christmas anthem. Alany of the anthems our choir has sung have been Air. Broughton’s works. One you might remember was “He AA^ho AA'ould Valiant Be”. AAT use his work “These Things Shall Be” each years at commencement. In just the past month one of his recent works, “Benedictus Est Domini” was selected to be sung in the Alidwestern Choir Festival. His composition “Aly God and King” was chosen by the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina as an outstanding unison anthem. In 1942, the year of the cen- tenial of St. Alary’s, Air. Brough ton was asked to write a cantata for the celebration, to be perform ed by the choir and glee club. He wrote the work to be sung by a chorus and soloist, accompanied by a string quartet with the organ and piano. The text was taken from various sources such as the Bible, works of sundry poets, and words that he himself wrote. The text was appropriately chosen, as may be seen in the chorus: “Saint Alary’s—honored mother, AA’ho for a hundred years hath fed thy children Bread of AAhsdom, AAhne of Knowledge. Alay thy maidens ever Learn, as of old did Jesus, through honest toil From Nature’s voice. And the glorious pages of the Book. Amen.” Next year will be the 120th an niversary of St. Alary’s founding. A program is now being planned to present the cantata again. Gretchen Craig sang two selec tions from the cantata accompa nied by Sue Creech: “AVisdom is Radiant” and “St. Alary’s—Hon ored Alother.” The service ended with everyone singing the School Hymn. The entire student body feels a deep sense of pride in their devoted friend. Air. Russell Broughton. NEW BELLES EDITORS CHOSEN The heads for the Belles staff have been chosen for 1961-1962.

Bishop Frazer Speaks At Canterbury On Sunday, April 23, Bishop Frazer spoke at State College with our Canterbury Club present. After Bishop Frazer’s talk a confir mation service was held. The week-end of April 15th proved very inspiring for students from St. Alary’s, Carolina, AA'ake Forest, Duke, and several other colleges. A college conference was held at Camp New Hope near Chapel Hill. Bishop Frazer was the speaker and gave a very interest ing and informative talk on “Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians.” The Canterbury Club has elected for its president for next year Gretchen Craig. The club is plan ning a big year and would like to urge more people to take jiart in its activities. Every girl is wel come; even if she’s an atheist! A typical St. Alary’s girl now spends only a little over one per cent of her waking hours in religious ac tivities. Attending a church school, we owe it to the reputation of the school and to ourselves to give up a little more of our time for re ligious purposes. Students Asked To Be More Reverent In Church AA’e have all been taught since the day we began to go to Sunday School that we are the creatures of God and that the Church is His House. A’et many of us seem to forget these facts, and we car ry on conversations about various trivial matters during the services. Church is not the place to discuss last night’s date, so-and-so’s new dress, or the beach party planned for next weekend. Remembering that Jesus loved us enough to hum ble Himself to live as a man on earth and to die for our salvation; we should certainly devote the little time we are required to go to clia])el comj)letely to Him. Alost of all, let us be more reverent while we are in His house. THE BELLES OF ST. MARY’S Published every two weeks during the school year by the student body of St. Mary’s Junior College.
