A Breath of the Arts A breath of the arts—fine and folk—guised in professional and amateur garments diverted EMC community from the study grind. Baritone soloist Henry Wiebe brought a February reper- toire of Haydn and Mendelssohn. The 65-voice Augsburg Choir appeared for a public concert March 2. Emphasizing 20th century sacred music, several by Director Sateren, the College Choir al- so sang a Baroque chorale and a Bach cantata. The Spring Arts Festival demonstrated the expression of human values in Appalachian folk culture, March 30 — April 1. Dr. Cratis B. Williams of Boones, North Carolina, interpreted the south- ern mountaineer’s cultural heritage, and Miss M. McGrew’s contemporary art assortment exhibited the feeling of the ballads told by Dr. Leonard Roberts, a West Virginian tall-tale-teller. With guitar strummings, rousing protest music and readings of Eliot’s fine imagery, the Bard’s Nest shingle welcomed thoughtful dialog and spirited singing. Special guests often treated the group. Over tarts and hot Dr. Pepper, faculty members invited students to talk freedom, paint- ings and curriculum revision. AFTER HENRY WIEBE’S CONCERT, Earl M. Maust and the guest soloist com- pare EMC and Grace Bible Institute music departments.

26 The yell for victory, “GO-go-go-go,” chanted by the six cheerleaders, set EMC sports enthus- iasm. At home games the twelve-member Pep Band echoed the mood of the crowd. Highlighting the sports year, the King’s Col- lege Tournament, March 1-4, tested EMC ath- letic skills. The teams competed with seven other Christian colleges in basketball, ping-pong, bowl- ing, volleyball, cheerleading and barbershop sing- ing. Toko Ryu won the trophy for women’s singles in ping-pong. The volleyball girls placed first through perfected teamwork and Miriam Mumaw’s optimistic coaching. Despite the descent to sixth place from last year’s second, the entire group received commendation for their consistent good sportsmanship. WITH JAPANESE POISE, Toko Ryu serves her way to a Tournament trophy. WITH ANGLED SERVE, Vi Mullet feeds her opponents a wicked slice. IN AN ANXIOUS MOMENT, Captain Leanna Beiler drives the ball deep into her opponents’ court. =
