. . . and off whirls one of the most
enthusiastic organizations to be found
on the Mars Hill campus. The Bailey
Mountain doggers.
Recently reorganized, the clog team
is now stepping out on a new foot and
is aspiring to do bigger and better things
than ever before. The team seems to
have hit upon a unique mountain spirit
and a willingness to work which exposes
a whole new horizon of excitement and
potential. Furthermore, with sponsor
Don Anderson, coordinator Connie Kra
mer, and choreographer Mike Buckner,
there is no doubt that the team will at
tain, and even surpass, its lofty goals.
Among these goals is the doggers’
plan to begin right away in visiting area
high schools and performing for local
special events. In addition. The Bailey
Mountain doggers are planning to
spend January term touring Florida,
sharing with the students and organiza
tions of that area a bit of that “good
’ole Appalachian spirit and tradition.”
In preparing for these events, the team
is not only perfecting its performance
in precision and traditional clogging,
but it is also experimenting with various
side shows, such as disco manuevers,
folk dancing, comedy routines, etc.
Anyone who is at all interested in
these or any of the other activities of
The Bailey Mountain doggers and would
like to know more, please feel free to
contact either Dr. Don Anderson, Mrs.
Connie Kramer or Mike Buckner, and/or
