EDITOR'S NOTE: The Cam-
pus Revival, planned for
December 5-9, has been many
hours In preparation. Below,
key students in this planning
give their personal com-
ments.)
ART ALLEN, vice-president
of the Student Association and
follow-up chairman for the re-
vival: "I know that in the past
years here on the campus, my
life has been greatly influenced
by our campus revivals. Per-
sonally, I feel there is a great
need for a genuine revival on
our campus.
"If we will just let the Lord
have His way in our lives, these
WINDJAMMERS RETURN TO HPC
The Windjammers, one of
Texas' fastest-rising vocal
groups, returns to Brownwood
tonight for a full concert on
the Howard Payne campus. The
HPC appearance is part of the
"Windjammers' busy schedule
of campus concerts across Te-
xas this fall and winter.
The Abllene-based group con-
sists of Jerrel Elliott of Ran-
ger; Clark Walter of Roswell,
N. M.; and Pat Hamilton of
Lubbock. These are the three
young men "on the trail of a
future bonanza," according to
a write-up about the Windjam-
mers in the Abilene Reporter-
News. If > "", JVr, T
Formation of the Windjam-
mers came three years ago on
the McMurry campus where all
three are students. Since that
time, success has been a com-
fortable companion to the
three. Selected out of 1,200 per-
sons auditioned to be members
of the Campus Revue Cast at
"Six Flags Over Texas," the
Windjammers appealed in 286
shows of "Thank You, Mr.
President."
After the performance, the
Dallas Morning News wrote,
The Windjammers could be
booked professionally now, and
the Abilene Reporter-News
foretold that 'fsilver-linedi
clouds appear in the future for
the Windjammers."
Their music has been heard
by at least a million people In
their various performances and
their two-season consecutive
stand at Six Flags. They have
performed in hundreds of ot-
her performances in Texas, N.
M., and1 Oklahoma. In spite of
their success and talent, they
have not lost the vitality and
the enthusiasm that is too of-
ten lost to the "blurred spot-
light of countless performan-
ces," many of their fans feel.
One of the singers said,
"When singing gets to be a
chore, I'll stop, and we all feel
that way."
It's difficult to classify the
Windjammer sound into catego-
ries, Walter notes, "We just
try to produce a good sound
without resorting to gimmics."
Hamilton says that, "We have-
n't tried to put it into a parti-
cular category; we sing it and
let other people tag it, if they-
have nothing better to do."
The performance will be to-
night in Mims auditorium at
8:15 P.M. Tickets can be pur-
chased for $1 each at King Mu-
sic Company, Browntowner
Motor Inn desk, Palace Drug
Store, Dairy Queen, Dairy Mart
in Early, and Rippetoes' in
Bangs.
services will have a lasting sig-
nificance to each of us. When
this happens there will be a
real revival."
KAY ATKERSON, president
of the Urbanites and music
chairman for the revival: "My
life has certainly been blessed
by the wonderful Christian at-
mosphere which exists at Ho-
ward Payne. I'm expecting
great things for individuals
and for the campus as a whole
from this revival.
"As a member of the revival
committee, I can only say that
the Lord has worked in all our
planning. I hope the revival
spirit will continue to work on
our campus, strengthening ot-
hers as it has strengthened
me." '
BENNETT WORLEY, presi-
dent of the Baptist Student
Union: "I sincerely feel that
our campus is venturing on an
enriching spiritual experience
through our forthcoming revi-
val. The revival team, Dr.
James Flamming and John
Wyatt, are both widely known
by college groups across the
Southern Baptist Convention.
"Our revival committee and
its chairman, Jerry Seale, have
performed their duties excep-
tionally well. In recollection of
revivals past, it seems that the
most enlightening times of the
last three years have been dur-
ing campus revivals and Focus
Week. Any student seeking a
blessing will find it during this
