MUST DISAGREE
I must disagree with our state
Senator, R C. iBob) Lake. Jr
on his stand concerning co
education at Winthrop College
He may have a point in saying
that the State should have an
all-girls school, just as it has
an all-boys school. The Citadel
However, the Citadel is located
in Charleston There are other
colleges in and near Charleston
which students living in the
area may attend as day stu
dents.
Sen Lake needs to come down
to the financial level of the
"common folks" and realize
that there are many families
who simply cannot afford to
send their children away to col
lege, with costs as they are
now By taking the stand that
he and some of his colleagues
are taking, he very probably is
depriving some young man of
a college education
1 have a friend in Rock Hill
who has two children m col
lege, a son and a daughter He
struggled to send the son to
Clem.son for the freshman year
because Winthrop was off-limits
to male students He tells me
that he could not have managed
to send both son and daughter
to college the following year,
this year, if Winthrop's doors
had not been open to men day
students
I am sure this is true of many
families in Rock Hill just as it
is true of many families in
Newberry County
I see nothing so terrible about
allowing young men to enter
and to graduate from Winthrop
College, and I wish that Bob
Lake would take a second look
at his stand. Does he really
want to pursue a course which
would deprive some young man
of a college education'.'
OUR APOLOGIES
We’ll have to blame it on the
printer’s devil and express our
disappointment and apologies
that all of those nice pictures
we have taken during the past
week for publication in this is
sue of The Sun will not be pub
lished I don t know exactly
what happened, but 1 think our
photographer got his picture de
vioping chemicals mixed with
some of ins other science pro
jects. and the result was blank
film
We l.r\ to do our best, but
these things just will happen
i’lease forgive us.
MORE SUPPORT

situation with the golf team, but
1 do know that for years the
music program of the city school
has been treated like an un
wanted stepchild as far as sup
port from county funds is con
cerned
It is my hope that SOME day
those who decide school policy
and curriculum will realize that
a music education is just as im
portant to many children as is
an education in math, history
or English. A person can be a
fine musician without knowing
the first thing about algebraic
equations. A student may not
know the date that Washington

Choral Service
on Good Friday
Singers from churches of the
community will participate in a
unique Lenten Choral Service to
be held at Aveleigh Presbyter
lan Church on Good End ty at
fi [) in to which the pubic is
cordially invited
Lenten music of Handel, Gnu
nod. Haydn and Stainer inter
spersed w i t h congregational
singing of Lenten hymns, will
be presented in a meaningful
order of service telling of
Christ s redemption of mankind
The theme of the program is
as follows
The text from Lamentations
and the music of Gounod set
forth an atmosphere and emot
ion of loneliness, desolation and
despair—a true parallel of the
nothingness" of human exist
ence
To redeem mankind the Son
of God willingly subjected Him
self to the human condition, thus
fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy of
the suffering Messiah (“He was
Despised”) He, at once, became
the sacrifice, the visible symbol
of the love of God and the Great
Example. It is upon His spirit
of forgiveness that we meditate
in the direct address, “Lamb
of God”.
“It Is Finished” rightfully has
a note of triumph because
Christ came to do the will of
God and He did it perfectly and
completely As we sec the work
of redemption completed our
minds are enlightened with the
understanding of the redeeming
power of God’s love Into 'Thy
Hands. O Lord. ! commend my
Spirit"
This willing submission takes
on an aura of incomparable ma
jesty and glory. "King ever
Glorious" As the Israelites of
old beheld the serpent in the
wilderness and were healed, so
may we, beholding Him. be re
deemed by the love of God,
“God so Loved the World".
Shall we then not turn to Him
and be saved, Jerusalem, 0
Turn Thee, to the Lord Thy
God ”.
Soloists for the program will
be Eugenia Byars Johnson, so
prano; Eleanor Blumberg, con
tralto; Ollie Moye, tenor; and
Keitt Purcell, bass. Members of
the participating choir are Miss
