Friday night, April 9, Mrs. Eu banks was in charge of a musical program by the entire student body. The title was “Songs of the Seasons”, The faculty assisted with the program. The time, ef fort, and work spent in prepara tion and presentation of this spec ial program proved very worth while.

(Continued from page 1) From Ligonier, Penna.: “Your column on NCC . . . was very interesting, and to the point. I have been looking for such an outline to show my friend who cannot believe their church could have any part in this. “Congratulations and God bless you.” From Wytheville, Va.: “You are to be commended for your full coverage of the disgrace ful doings of the NCC. “This information will now be more widely known . . . “As soon as I learned money taken from our church budget was being spent foolishly. I withdrew my pledge, and I am choosing the work I am proud to support with my tithe. “Many ministers are still up holding the NCC. So it is a hush, hush subject in our local Presby terian church of which I am a member. “Keep up the good work of ex posing wrong, and accept the crit icism you are getting. “Really it is a shame so few people have the courage to speak up about more and more is com ing up. “Believe me,I am backing you 100 per cent.” From Wheaton, 111.: “I thank the Lord and you for the devastating information you furnished. “I have read that lewd document ‘Called to Responsible Freedom’ by Wm. G .Cole who is president of Lake Forest College (Lake For est, 111) It is revolting! “Many thanks to you.” From Perrysburg, Ohio: “God bless you! And may he give you strength and courage to continue to tell the truth about the Socialist-oriented National Council of Churches clergy. “Would it be possible for me to have at least 10 copies of the March 4, 1964 issue of the SUN? I would like to pass your article out to some of our elders.” PROPERTY TRANSFERS Newberry No. 1 O. F. Armfield Sr. to C. M. Avery and Jackie Wesson Avery, one lot and one building, James street $5.

Three modern Composers are Club subject Bartok, Prokofieff and Hine- mith were the subjects for study at the April meeting of the New berry Music Club. Mrs. Carolyn Savko presented the program at the home of Mrs. Hart Jordan. Assisting Mrs. Savko were Miss Carol Epting and Charles Parker, music students at Newberry col lege. Mrs. Aubrey Harley, Miss Lor raine Paris and Mrs. Furman Sterling were the associate hos tesses. Mrs. Hope Wilson, presid ent, presided. . Following the club collect and hymn of the month, the club was honored to have as a special guest Miss Gail Phillips, the win ner of the scholarship of the S. C. Music Educators Association. Miss Phillips, accompanied by Mrs. Savko, sang the two selec tions which she used in the State contest. Mrs. W. Roy Anderson was elected delegate to the State con vention to be held in Anderson on May 13-15. J. D. French, chairman of the committee to secure funds for a new piano for the Community hall reported on the progress of the committee. Additional plans for raising money were discussed: He reminded the members that Chas. Dukes, who is acting as treasurer for the project, would be happy to receive contributions any time. Mrs. Savko was introduced by Miss Julie Hamiter, program chair man. She spoke briefly on contem porary or new music which she dated from the turn of the cen tury. She called it “ a revolt ag ainst romanticism” and called at tention to the dissonance and strange intervals which character ize modem music. “Repetitiveness and the tradi tional way of hearing the melodic theme are gone from contempor ary music,” Mrs. Savko said. Har mony as such has been “thrown out the window’ ”. She illustrated the interesting rhythmic patterns and meter changes of the new music. Bartok, a Hungarian, collected over two thousand native folk songs as sung by the peasants. He used these as the background for many of his works. As an example of Bartok’s compositions for pia no, Miss Epting, a freshman from Charleston and a student of Mrs. Savko, played a collection of five Rumanian folk dances. Mrs. Savko spoke of the ath leticism and driving quality of the music of the Russian-bom com poser, Prokofieff. She then played his Sonata No. 3. Hindemith, the German compos er, rose to fame after World War I and has had great influence on young musicians. “A music edu cator and theorist, Hindemith writes music which is German to the core,” Mrs. Savko said. She introduced Charles Parker, from Hampton. Mr. Parker, a band ma jor at the college, played a trum pet sonata by Hindemith. He was accompanied by Mrs. Savko. During the social hour, members and guests were invited into the dining room where delightful re freshments were served from & beautifully appointed table. Garden Club hears reports Mrs. Price J. Padgett gave an interesting program on “Old Roses” at the April meeting of the Newberry Garden club, held at the home of Mrs. Dave Soke- vitz. Mrs. Eugene Griffith and Mrs. James Wiseman Jr., were associate hostesses. Mrs. Padgett said that old roses are those grown before 1880, and that the rose is older than man. Among other interesting facts she gave were the following: 5 “It is native jto the northern hemisphere and probably began in the middle East. The Romans used many roses; also the Persians used roses in rug design. The first historical record of the rose was uncovered in excavation on the Island of Crete. The rose had been there for 2000 years. The roses in Europe were dark red, pink or white and only bloomed once a year, but in 1800 roses were brought from China and Burma that bloomed year round. These were very fragrant and other colors were introduced, such as the yellow rose. Old roses are very hearty, almost disease resis tant, bloom in profusion and are very fragrant. They can be rooted in sand or soil in a bucket or jar from any bush. The stem should be cut clean and slanted and should not be allowed to dry. Roses can be rooted from mid summer to fall.” During the business session, committee reports were given. Mrs. Padgett, flower show chair man, reported that plans are be ing made for the show. Mrs. Joe Feagle reported on the State Garden Club meeting. Local club members taking part in the convention included Mrs. Richard L. Baker who served as chairman, and Mrs. Clem Youmans as a member of the state nominating committee. Mrs. Youmans receiv ed the Therapy award given to Newberry Garden club for its work with the Junior Club. Mrs. Baker was appointed by Mrs. Gamble, state president, as special chairman of Civic Development. Mrs. Feagle also reported on the South Atlantic Regional meet ing held at Old Point Comfort, Fort Monroe, Va. during which Mrs .Youmans was elected a Me morial Garden trustee. She stated that the School for Gardeners will be June 9-11 at Clemson Univer sity. Mrs. Louis C. Floyd received the door prize, a lovely flower con tainer. Members enjoyed refresh ments served by the hostesses.
