Students Shock The Doc Winter Extravaganza honors Dr.Argue By Sherri Keith special day to honor the president is not a common thing in most colle es. The school spirit and excitement t at always accompanies Winter Extrava- ganza flowed into Honor the Doc Day on February 4. Classes were shortened to allow for an extra-long chapel. Both the light and serious side filled the occa- sion. The nerds turned the platform into clown alley by singing Dr. Argue a song to the tune of Mickey Mouse. Then, considering it to be a great accomplishment, they presented him with an honorary doctorate of nerdology accompanied by a genuine plaid jacket. Everything was a surprise for Dr. Argue who is respectfully referred to as the iiDoc. A Video pre- sentation, compiled and narrated by his wife, brought tears and smiles. It's not every day you can watch the Doc round up the family cows on a power lawn mower. Tributes were paid, telegrams read, a special is- sue of the Northern Light run, a book of letters Tears fill Dr. Argueis handkerchief before real- izing that his daughter was actually sing- ing in chap- el. Upward emotion builds to a climax for Dr. and Mrs. Argue when NC students dramatically re- united the Argue family. A book of letters is held by Dr. Argue. 20- Student Life was gathered, gifts were presented by STEAM presi ent, John Goodman. The ultimate honor came towards the end of the presentation. After reading letters from his son, Lee, and daughter, Laurie, John Goodman had a tape played iiwith Laurie singing. Notice he didn't say she was singing on the tape. In actu- ality, she was singing from the balcony of the chapel. Neither of her parents, who were on the platform t ing but failing to conceal tears, real- ized that s e was there. When they finally saw her, the look of shock and excitement was impossible to hide. Laurie, who lives in Zeist, Holland, was accompanied down the stairs by her brother, Lee, who is attending Oral Roberts Uni- versity. Neither of them were ex ected to attend, at least not by their parents. T e family proceeded to hug, smile, cry, and for, that matter, so did many of the students as they popped to their feet in thunderous applause. fa ex, F allowing chapel, Laurie Argue Visits during a reception in the gym-
