student body concerning her trip
around the world.
The 5th, 6th, and 7th grades are
looking forw r ard to receiving their
last order of Arrow Book Club
books. This order included a total
of 66 books.
All teachers of the Silverstreet
Elementary school attended the
educational meetings at Newberry
last week. These included the
Classroom Teachers Association
and the Newberry County Educa
tion Association.
Mrs. Werts and the following
students of her Science classes
presented a fine program over
Radio Station WKDK on April
20: Jane Crosson, 'Bill Spearman,
Tiudy Force, Danny Moore, Linda
Boozer, Betty Martin, and Preston
Williams.
During the early part of April
the 8th grade and Mr. Long vis
ited the Newberry High school
for a uay of orientation. We tour
ed the school and ate lunch in the
cafeteria. Mr Kneece, Superinten
dent of the school, talked to us
concerning many problems we
would be confronted with next
year in high school. Mrs. Hipp,
Guidance Counselor, gave us some
very pertinent information, also.
In addition, the President of the
Student Body welcomed us and
made our brief stay a most profit
able and enjoyable one. Then
too, the guides were very friendly
and most cooperative and render
ed very valuable asistance. The
entire class had a wonderful ex
perience and are looking forward
to attending Newberry high school
next session.
Miss Folk and the second grade
were in charge of a chapel assem
bly during the first week of Ap
ril. The class had devotions, in
unison. Some members of the
class sang songs. Other members
of the class participated in plays
or read poems. Between perform
ances two members of the third
grade rendered piano solos (Syl
via Gillette and Grady Senn). The
entire program, was excellent and
we’re sure Miss Folk and the par
ticipants put a great deal of time,
thought and work into making it
so very successful.'
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. About 300 students, pat
rons ,and friends were present
and a wonderful atmosphere of
friendship, and fellowship prevail
ed throughout the entire evening
of festivities. The regular meet
ing of the PTA was held immed
iately after the program with the
* resident, Mrs. Stoudemire, pre
siding. The following officers will
be in charge for the year 1965-66:
President, Mrs. Ruth Stoudemire;
vice president, Mrs. Dorothy Senn;
secretary, Mrs. Jean Bundrick;
treasurer, Mrs. Lazelle Werts. Mr.
Long distributed about 80 pam
phlets on modern math, a hand
book for parents. A special hour
was enjoyed in the cafeteria. De
licious refreshments were served
by the PTA social committee.
Practically all classes had Eas
ter parties just before the ad
journment for the holiday period.
For many reasons it was a most
exciting time. However, the stu
dents were reminded of the real
significance of the holiday season
and encouraged to appropriately
observe the occasion.
Mrs. Mary Ellen Blackwell gave
an enjoyable travelogue on April
14, including many interesting
slides, to the entire faculty and
During the past several weeks
three families, with a total of 11
children, have moved to other
parts of the state and North Car
olina. The families are as follows
Bradley’s (2), Moates (4), and
Abney’s (5). We hear another
family, the Koons, with 4 child
ren will be moving back to the
Bush River community in the very
near future.
Our school has purchased a new
35mm projector (including the
slide attachments) and two new
tubes. The profits derived from
the previous magazine drives
made this purchase possible.
Two members of the Newberry
County Grand Jury made an in
spection of our school very re
cently. They were Messrs Ear-
hardt and Underwood. From all
indications they found everything
in very good order and condition.
A fire marshall, representing
the South Carolina Insurance Com
mission, visited the school last
week. Mr. Robert Stoudemire, lo
cal fire chief, accompanied him
on his inspection tour. With the
exception of the need for addi
tional fire stations in the building
to supplement the one used in the
office exclusively nothing of ma
jor importance was noted or sug
gested. A fire drill was held just
prior to their visit.

BY THE WAY . . .
(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.”

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.
