The choir will arrive in New York City this 1971 Yearbook Editor Named Judy Tallman, freshman from Maysville, has been appointed edi tor of the 1971 Laurel. An English and art major, she is presently copy editor of the 1970 Laurel. Walter P. Smith, Director of Public Information and Hayes Good- rum, present Editor of the Laurel, stated that they felt the 1971 Laurel Editor should be chosen at this time in order to allow the editor to make tentative plans. According to Hayes, by selecting the editor at this early time, the editor will be able to formu late ideas and gather information as how to design the ’71 Laurel. Judy, when interviewed about her new job said: “The aim of the 1971 Laurel is to present all aspects of the College complex; not just studies and ballgames. Our hope is to create creations with pictures that need no copy to clarification. We wish to tell things as they are whether good or bad and in all honesty. College life is more than achieving; it’s growing up in all aspects as hopefully will be reflected in the 1971 Laurel.” morning to present a sacred con cert in which they sing-evensong in the renowned Cathedral of St. John the Divine at 4 p.m. This cathedral is the largest in the world and this presentation will represent the apogee of the group’s annual spring tour.

IN MEMORIAM Sometimes there aren’t any words to express loss. Those are the times we manage to simply say what hap pened, remember with gratitude, and leave the deepest grief in the privacy of our personal faiths. John Maxwell Bunn, 21, of Trout- ville, Va., a junior biology major here. John Bunn died Feb. 14 from complications of flu with a non-contagious Guillain- Barre syndrome, which is related to polio. He had become sick with flu during Christmas holidays but, seem ing to have recovered, returned to school on schedule. He later de veloped the Guillain-Barre syndrome and three weeks ago was admitted to the Roanoke Memorial Hospital. After being in intensive care for two weeks, John developed pneu monia. He died enroute to an operat ing room. Funeral services were held Tuesday, Feb. 17 in Mills Creek Baptist Church in Troutville, Va. Sur viving are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Delmas H. Bunn of Troutville, and two brothers, Mr. Leland Calvin, Jr. and Mr. Barry Bunn. In the top of his class scholastic- ally, John had been a college marshall since the beginning of his sophomore year. He was an active member of the Science Honor Club and the Beta Club. He was more than a statistical member of those organizations, though, and nobody who knew him will forget that. He had the unique ability of being able to really care; in the words of a friend, “he gave a damn.” The greatest eulogy anyone can have is to be missed: This is the tribute we pay to John.
