All Bennett Day: Reflecting and Projecting The entire college community took time from busy schedules to participate in All Ben- nett Day, a period of rededication to the Ben- nett Experience. As we met in the chapel, our expectations were high. I am somebody. I may be from a poor farm in South Carolina or an urban ghetto in Newarl , but I am somebody. I may be on one scholarship and five loans, but I am somebody because I am part of the Bennett Experience, stated Valerie Moore, president of the SGA. From the president of the college. Dr. Isaac H. Miller, we heard the charge: To go about the serious business of getting the best educa- tion possible. Through the singing of the Alma Mater, a beautiful rendering, there was an intense feeling of school pride. The highlight of the morning was the signing of the giant bell as faculty, students, alumnae, and staff pledged to support our college. Other activities of the day included a Faculty-Staff Fashion Show and a Campus Dance on the chapel patio. The entire day had been worth the long planning of a selected group of faculty, staff, and students who had spent the summer work- ing toward building a better Bennett College. There was more fun as the piano was roiled out on the chapel patio. Beautiful music was made by Jackie Hemphill, Johanna Lee, Sharon Hadrick, and Gwen Hill. The signing of the belt was an emotional and symbolic effort. Members of the faculty, staff, student body, and alumnae signed their names on this great piece of art work. Dean Biagg, impatient at the slow beginning of the dance, surprised the students by do ' ing some soulful gyrations with Mrs. Isaac H. Miller. TELL ME WHY Tell me why the stars do shine, Tell me why the ivy twines. Tell me why the sky ' s so blue. Tell me, Old Bennett, Just why I Love you. Because God made the stars to shine. Because God made the ivy twine. Because God made the sky so blue, God made Old Bennett; That ' s why I love you.
