The chorus experienced something during the spring semester that had never been experienced before that was being without its director, Dr. Kenneth Davis , Jr. Dr. Davis was at Harding University in Florence. The group had never been without its leader in the 31 years that Davis had been at Harding. Dr. Arthur Shearin stepped in under an awkward situation and did an outstanding job under the circumstances. The A Cappella Chorus made several trips in and around Arkansas during the school year. They traveled to Greer's Ferry, Newport , Corning and Monticello. They also traveled to Tennessee , Louisiana , Mississippi , Alabama, Georgia , Florida, South Carolina, Illinois and Ohio. During these trips the group made many contacts for Harding. This was accomplished by handing out tracts, catalogs and other information about Harding wherever they sang. " It gives me an unexplainable feeling when members of the audience come to him with tears in their eyes saying how much they enjoyed the program and how they were uplifted by it, " said Larry Daughety, a member of the A Cappella Chorus. ~!~ To promote spiritual, educational, social, public relations and musical talents was the purpose of Harding's Chorale. ' Several tours and activities were accomplished during the year. With the direction of Dr. Cliff Ganus Ill , the Chorale made tours through Arkansas in November, Texas in December and Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia , North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee in January, They also made trips to Tennessee and Northern Mississippi later in the spring. About 40 members of the group plan to go on a summer tour to England, Scotland, Belgium, Germany, Italy , Switzerland , France and Spain, giving concerts arranged by local missionaries and churches, One of the highlights of their year was their annual spring banquet which brought them all together for one last time before school came to a close. "Their goal is to be the best chorus in the region," said Dr. Ganus Ill. "To bring others to Harding and to encourage each member to reach his or her full potential muSically, spiritually and SOcially," ,f{ifi;,
