In November, the group, composed of both chemistry and biochemistry majors, hosted an open house in honor of National Chemistry Day. Five area high shcools participated as well as about 80 students from the university. Members of the club demonstrated advanced methods of instrumental analysis, using such new instruments as nuclear magnetic resonance, and atomic absorption spectrophotometer, an infrared spectrophotometer, and a high performance liquid chromatograph. Additionally, the club demonstrated simple organic lab techniques, performing actual experiments in view of the visitors. That same day, the club presented a slide show in chapel, giving a glimpse of the department and sharing recorded opinions from various members. According to Waggoner, "We were trying to show the student body how we as ch~mistry and biochemistry majors grew closer to each other and closer to God through our scientific studies." Teamwork was an integral part of the success of the Harding University Chorale. The singers' enthusiasm and energy was combined with God-given talents which produced an endless number of accomplishments for them as well as Harding. According to Chorale member Daryl Gregory, a senior from Washington, D.C., "Our aim is not just to sing the word of God, but to promote Christian education . The group is eager to spread the Word." The Chorale was on a bi-annual schedule to participate in religious campaigns and tours in many countries of Eastern and Western Europe. During the summer of 1985, the Chorale toured England, Belgium, Scotland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, and Spain. They were unable to make the tour this past summer, but a tour was scheduled for the summer of 1988. The Chorale focused on a unique repertoire of songs which consisted of hymns , spirituals, sacred songs, and secular songs. The members enjoyed the wide range of choral literature presented. Their secular numbers were well staged and performed. . . The man behind the Chorale was Cliff Ganus ID. He JOmed the Harding faculty in the fall of 1968. While attending Harding, between 1963 and 1968, he was an outstanding music student. In addition to the Chorale, he directed the Belles and Beaux. He has made the Chorale a popular group, a good group, and a group that is heartily received by their audiences. Chorale Chemistry Club - Sheila Underwood and Terrance Talley Faces in the chor-owd.
