@°5 MALE QUARTET JOEY PETERS, SHELBY HARBOUR, WAYNE RABORN, DAVID BROWN, MR. SMITH. On May 16, 1970, the Male Quartet left on the southern tour, lasting six weeks with every day filled with blessings, fun, and many other re- warding experiences. It was truly a unique ex- perience being able to travel representing our Savior and our school. The opportunities and the blessings led to a wealth of Christian experience; the memories of God’s blessings to us will always dwell in our minds. The summer tour was an avenue of service to many and a means of spiritual growth in each of our spiritual lives. It will not soon be forgotten.

SUMMER TEAMS This summer P.B.C. sent out four summer music teams; they went to the East Coast, the Great Lakes, the Midwest and the deep South, spreading good- will and Christian fellowship in the name of Jesus Christ and of our school. Here are excerpts of their separate tours, giving some insight into just what makes up a summer team, and what happens along the way. eC =a Bus LINDA ROBBINS, JEANIE KELLY, RUTH PREWITT, CHUCK CLEVENGER, MR. HILL We began the tour with much excitement, some high hopes, and a few misgivings. The itinerary looked impressive — from Winston Salem to Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Virginia again, and home. Cramming that into six weeks would be quite an achievement as well as an unforgettable experience — and so it was. From the first night we saw souls saved and lives dedicated. We had a time of spiritual blessing, but it was also a time of fun, and life-long friendships were formed. Who could forget the cabin on the lake, or the packing-and-unpacking ritual? Then there were other things: frustration with Mr. Hill because he double-checked every turnoff; praying for Monday; the welcome sight of a country church; the day our highway signs started reading ‘south’; the travel- ing arrangements — two in the front and three in the back; Mr. Hill’s famous line, ‘“Get out the money box;” looking for a gas station that gave stamps; and that final night ride while singing ‘Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning!” It was truly unforgettable. 18

PATSY MADARIS RHONDA HAYNES CHRIS SCHOOLFIELD ANNETTE COX MR. MRS. CORNISH The day was May 16, the time about 9:30 a.m. There were four very excited girls running around campus. The were al- most ready to leave on their six weeks’ tour which took them up through the Virginias, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Michigan, with a side trip into Canada. They were excited, but there came that moment when they had to part with their “special friends’ and family. | am sure Sw the tour brought to each of us something special, but as a group it certainly brought many blessings. Many of these were in the services themselves — to be able to sing for the Lord. And even though the same songs were sung every night, they held a new meaning each time. Then also many of the blessings came from the people with whom we stayed or talked after church. Although we saw very few visible results, | am sure the Lord worked in many hearts. Then there were lighter moments — we'll always remember the house with the dogs, and of course, the time Annette tumbled headlong down the steps to land behind the piano. But these are all part of the fun. Yes, it was a very exciting six weeks. We praise the Lord for the many wonderful blessings He gave to us. 20
