Fall Chapels 1 Fall Chapels Offers Diversity in Worship, Exposure to Outside Influence I have really been challenged by the speakers, and I have also really enjoyed the special programs that we occasion- ally have in chapels. I believe chapels are a refreshing and rewarding break from purely academic routines, and are a needed spiritual boost. — Marty Carney Chapel is one of the unique aspects of Taylor that we, as students, are lucky enough to experience. The diverse and piquant speakers add a lot to our intel- lectual stimulation. I think it says a lot that, even though Chapel is not re- quired at Taylor, that most students at- tend the services. I believe that shows their quality. — Glenda Lehman UPPER LEFT: Former Iranian hostage Catherine Koob gave a sobering yet touching address on her experiences in captivity. LEFT: Singing is an integral part of most chapel services at Taylor, and is the center of some of them, ABOVE: Mr. Boalt leads a singing service. Activities 23

Concerts Rock and Roll, Acoustic, Electronic Music: Choose Your Favorite LEFT: At the Annual Fall Variety Show, Kelly Holt spent most of the evening trying to get the rhythm straight for his part in the act. Remember, Three, by Four, Nail ' Em to the Floor!? It seemed that the audience had It down better than Kelly did. The Show in 1981 was known for it ' s profes- sionalism and wide variety of acts. BELOW: Ed DeGarmo and Dana Key and their band warmed up their guitars, keyboards, and drums, and let go for a power-packed concert that many felt defined the best that Christian rock has to offer. The sound was clean and loud, and the message of Christianity in the real world was clear. As the S.A.C. Concert Coordinator, I am responsible tor booking bands for the whole year: we book the autumn concerts the preceding spring, and the spring concerts we book during the first two months of school in the fall. I find the most gratifying part of the job to be the chance to meet the artists, and the challenge of meeting the needs of the students. — Mike Kendall My favorite fall concert was DeGarmo and Key. I felt they represented good contemporary Christian music that really sounded professional. It was |ust plain good rock ' n ' roll, not 2nd class. — Mark Burkholder
