Grady, Little Miss Adult Choir" "Little Miss Young Adult Choir' began her 1975-'76 reign- Sunday, December 21, 1975. Her first duty, since she was crowned, was the presentation of her pastor, Dr. Grady D. Davis during the Youth Day Worship Service. The 5 year old Robin is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Edwards of Plum Street. The recently crowned ' Little Miss Young Adult Choir" attends R. N. Harris Elementary School.

The dapper, dashing, doctor also received a plaque: "Speaker of the Year" for his high school reunion sponsored by the Class of 1944. While attending the reunion, he failed to recognize Vicent Lee; not just another run of the mill classmate, but Vincent who walked with him up 301 highway, 456 miles each way from Pleasant Hill to Northampton County Training School at Garysburg. Time changes things, places and people. Looking toward the 3rd century era, Dr. Davis, writes, "Please read "Future Shock" by Alvin Toffler: on to the spirit of July 4, 1976 - the BiCeritennial Celebration of the Declaration of Independence: 4 We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." There is a serious crisis between the document and achievement. Our future is still in the hands of the Man Messiah of whom Isaiah (9 :6 prophesied: ' for unto us a Child is born: unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder. These will be His royal titles: "Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.'' His ever-expanding, peaceful government will never end.

I The pretty, pert, precocious Robin hasn't decided what she wants to be when she grow up; for now, it's a toss - up between a majorette and a cheerleader. Her favorite saying is, "i'm bad - I know I am bad! I'm super-bad." Bad, not in the demeaning aspect of the term, but positive achievement. "Her interests, other than majoretting and cheerleading, are gradually developing, but not to the point of really showing that she excells in any particular area," says her mother, Mrs. Eloise Edwards. Queen Robin Elizabeth Edwards and her court made a grand entrance to the tune of "We're Marching to Zion, and marched down the long aisle to the periphery of the rostrum. Here, they posed prettily until the chairperson, Mrs. flattie P. Partin, presented each member of her majesty's cortege: Nicole Malachi, 1st runner-up, Sharonda Thorpe, 2nd runner-up; Dean-Na Marie Pratt, Jill Taylor and Tonya Farmer. Princelets: Micheal Day, Donald Houser, Rodney Day, Sean Parker, Micheal Hopkins and Timothy Harris. Robin Edwards, first place winner, wore a cardinal red coronation robe and a matching glittering crown that threatened to topple, walked the last lapse alone. Obviously, she wanted to do something about her wishy-washy crown, but she didn't dare touch it. However, fate had decreed that the crown should shatter her majesty's composure. So, after doing a good job of her presentation speech, Dr. Davis reached down to give her a hug and the George B. Russ crown fell apart. Robin gave her grandmother Freeman a woebegone look, but she managed to keep her cool and joined the other pulpit associates: Miss Anna R. Henderson, James T. Muse, Reverend Essex Fields, Rev. Foster R. Ize, Sr., Grady D. Davis and Rev. Kirk. December 21 was a salute to all College University students. In behalf of the Young Adult Choir, Miss Cathy McAdams made handsome gift presentations to the Church's Building Fund and the Bus Fund.

The after dinner speaker was David Turner; a teacher of Brick Masonary at Northern High School; wife, Mrs. Carolyn Sanders Turner; father of two children -girls: Shawn, Tarsha; residents of Old Farms. Turner is the nephew of deacon W. C. Young. Mr. Turner's discourse was based on "Consecration and Service." Text: Romans 12:8; for as we have many members in one body, and all members have not thv same office; so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one member one of another.'
