Rotary Felloe Miss Norma Jean Reese, a senior at Owen High, is Student of the Month and was honored by the Rotary Club at their latest luncheon meeting. "Norma has been an excellant student and citizen throughout her four years of high school. She has participated in the Beta Club, French Club and Health Careers Club.” In responding to the Club, she told of her plans to attend Gardner-Webb College and study nursing. Mrs. Virginia Rath of the ' Physical Education depart ! ment of Warren Wilson College was introduced by Dr. Paul Limbert as special guc ’t speaker of the day. She told Rotarians about the college’s Service Project program. Every student is expected to complete a service project of about sixty hours before the senior year. ‘Something for others, without financial compensation, that must be done by you or it won’t be done,” as she described the pattern. The purpose of the program is to impress on students that communities depend on volunteers. The student is counselled by faculty regarding choice of the service project and reports on the experience. Service can be given at home, on campus or off Wonl^s Dymaxion Dor 135 Cherry St., Black Mountain Serving Lunch 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. sandwiches Ham, Turkey, Roast Beef & Club j 669-9919 Imported Beer Free Music Obnoxious Bartenders campus - during the academic year or while on vacation. Many students tutor others in difficult studies or give language training to persons wanting experience in the language of another nation. Firefighters are particularly busy just now. One skilled student does hair styling. One girl learned of a lonely old lady and lived-in with her for several weeks at cooking, cleaning house, fixing the yard, hoeing the garden, listening and chatting. One of the boys is busy now at Highland Farms helping residents with spring gardens. Ms. Rath summarized that some students do not want to receive recognition for their service and often are credited for projects already rendered; the vast majority cooperate and enjoy; some revolt at and “requirement” but usually admit they appreciated the service program. A committee of students and staff administer the Service Project program. Life At Highland Farms A delightful event of last week was the New England Breakfast held on Wed., A pril 14. The hosts, folks from New England and bordering states, welcomed us at the dining room door wearing aprons of many types and sizes.

Kt. I. Box 287 Black Mountain. N.(\ 287! 1 660-7573 Dp. Donald F. Collins W-W Professor Published In American Journal Of Physics SWANNANOA, N. C. - Dr. Donald F. Collins, a member of the Warren Wilson College Physical Sciences faculty, has had his research paper en titled “Observation of Rayleigh Scattering and Air Glow” published in the March, 1976, American Journal of Physics. The JOURNAL is published by the \merican association of Physics Teachers. Dr. Collins has been an instructor of Physics at Warren Wilson since 1970. He earned his B.A. degree at the College at Wooster in Ohio in 1965 and his M S. and Ph D. degrees from Camegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh in 1967 and 1970 respectively. The paper is co-authored by two former Warren Wilson students, Athansios Aridgides from Greece and Ralph N. Pinnock from Jamaica. Both are now attending graduate school at Duke University in Durham. Financial support for the research project was provided by the National Science Foundation in the form of an Academic Year Extension Grant. The grant followed a summer program in Research Participation for College Teachers at the University of Florida in which Dr. Collins participated. The blue color of the daytime sky is due to a phenomena called “Rayleigh scattering.” It was first ex plained by lord W.S. Rayleigh in the late 1800’s. Airglow is a faint glow in the sky seen only on clear moonless nights. Dr. Collins, Aridgides, and Pin nock measured the Rayleigh scattering and airglow with relatively simple apparatus found in most college and university physics depart ments. mountain Dance And Folk Festival uuM.uwnE^-iome or tne region’s finest dancers and folk musicians will be per forming here May 1 at the Western Carolina University Mountain Dance and Music Festival. The festival, set to begin at 7 p.m. in Reid Gymnasium, will start with a two-hour exhibition of clogging, smooth dancing, and moun good food and good fellowship were enjoyed by some one hundred persons. The last meeting of the course on "Great Decisions” has been held, with an average attendance of thirty Highland Farmers recorded during the eight sessions. Excellent leadership and lively participation charac terized each session. Despite differing views concerning U.S. foreign policies there was wide agreement on many issues. The value of such a study course is in the education and information which it affords, and the broadening of ones knowledge and ability to in terpret the news and to un derstand current events. Knowing the pros and cons of each issue will enable one to make valid judgments based on the principles of freedom, justice and democracy. The series of four programs on “Images of the Modem Woman Reflected in Art, History, Literature and Society” ended with the meeting on April 15. The featured speakers were from Harvard University, Eton College, Duke Univ., and Queens college, and the discussions were led by local and area reactor panelists. These programs, sponsored tain music. Master of ceremonies for the event is Glenn Ban nerman, professor of recreation and outdoor education at the Presbyterian School for Christian Education in Richmond, Va.

Senior Citizens Hold Party For Children About 95 firm supporters of theEaster Bunny met for an egg hunt and festive luncheon at the XYZ Club Friday. The party in preparation for at least two months was the joint effort of the Club, the Black Mountain Day Care Center and the Girl Scout Troop from the Juvenile Evaluation Center. Irene Stephenson and her staff made Bunny hats and set four long tables with green covers which were loaded with eggs and baskets. Debbie Howell from the Evaluation Center and her Girl Scouts hid the eggs. Fran Garber and several of her staff- Jo Elliot. Trevia Mackey and Jean Williams led the children on the hunt while some wary and confused geese watched. All the happy, color-coded children were successful ending up with a half dozen or so eggs each. Later at the hamburger and bean luncheon , Dr. Eugene Wert lead a program of Bunny songs and said something about the religious significance of Good Friday and led the group in grace. That old North European Spring Goddess Eastre or Oestre and her pet Hare must have been made happy by this fete held at least partly in her honor. Army Band To Present Free Concert * The United States Army Band, “Pershing’s Own.” is coming to Asheville. The band will perform a free concert at 3 pm. May 2, in the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium of the Asheville Civic Center. The performance is sponsored by several local civic organizations. Eight words from Gen. John J.

Pershing wrote, “You will organize and ewuip The Army Band.” From that modest begin ning, the band has become the offical band for most diplomatic and state functions in Washington, D. C. It has performed at every presidential inauguration since that of Calvin Coolidge in 1923, and greets foreign chiefs of state, diplomats and high ranking military officers. U. Col. Eugene W. Allen is leader and commanding of ficer. The Columbia University graduate served as staff bands officer and U.S. Army Element School of Music commander prior to his appointment in March of 1976 as a commanding officer of the band. Co.l Col. Allen will bring more than 100 members of the band to Asheville, including the Herald Trumpets, who've welcomed dignitaries from the Apollo astronauts to Japanese Emperor Hirohito.
