of the voice as she enjoys
experimenting with tone color to
discover new qualities. She is
the originator at the successful
school program. "Our Musical
Heritage" which has been pre
sented to elementary schools in
Duplin and Sampson counties
and wiH soon be offered state
wide. She has recently received
a grant from the Sampson Arts
Council to devise a similar
sentation of Handel's MESSIAH

Poetry Society, and is presently
working on a contemporary
program including some vocal
- works of Cage and Cowell. She
is married to Ed Taylor, band
director of Clinton Schools, and
they have three sons. Her most
famous accomplishment in
Clinton is being the mother of
the quarterback of the Clinton
Dark Horses who went to Can
ton for die State Football Cham
pionship and received their only
season defeat from the James
Kenan Tigers. -
Smith attended Salem and
Campbell Colleges, and she
teaches piano in Clinton. She is
a noted organist, presenting
herself in concert two years ago,
and she is a frequent accom
panist for Taylor. She studied
voice with Otis P. Lambert of
Fayetteville recently, and per
formed frequently in oratorio
and concert while a resident
there, becoming noted for the
tralto solos from Handel's
MESSIAH and is presently
wotting on a joint concert with
Tayior, consisting of famous |
arias, to lw pas framed in the
spring. She is mamcd to
