Guild Trip to perform West Concert

The West Endowed Concert Series at Lyon College will feature the Guild Trio in performance at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 12, in the Bevens Music Room. The public is invited and admission will be free.

Hailed by The Washington Post for their “golden touch,” violinist Janet Orenstein, cellist Brooks Whitehouse and pianist Tina Dahl will perform trios by Robert Schumann, Maurice Ravel and Mrs. H. H. A. Beach.

Since its formation in 1988, the Guild Trio has become one of the premier ensembles of its generation and has performed across the country and around the world. Currently the trio-in-residence at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, the trio members perform regularly and serve as faculty for the McIntyre Department of Music.

The Guild Trio is a frequent feature on National Public Radio’s “Performance Today” and has performed on several public television programs.

The Dan C. and Sidney Childs West Endowment was established by Dr. and Mrs. West in May 1981 for the purpose of offering live musical performances or stringed instrument instruction at Lyon College. The West Concert Endowment has supported free concerts on campus by fine musicians such as Trio Cassatt and The Quapaw Quartet. Dr. West was president of Lyon College from 1972 to 1988.

BSA banquet

Black History Month will be celebrated at Lyon College with a banquet Saturday at 7 p.m. in Edwards Dining Hall.

The theme of the celebration will be “Keeping the Path Lit So Others May Follow.” The Black Students Association is the event’s sponsor. Guest speaker will be Dr. Grover Evans, a motivational speaker, educator and business consultant.

The cost of the banquet is $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12. The public is invited. Reservations may be made by calling the college’s Student Life office at 698-4314.

A lifelong resident of Arkansas, Dr. Evans holds a bachelor’s degree in music and health education from Ark-ansas State University in Jonesboro. He received his doctorate in nutrition counseling from LaSalle University, graduating cum laude.

Dr. Evans, a quadriplegic as a result of an automobile accident many years ago, frequently speaks to groups on goal setting, self-esteem, diversity, health education, nutrition and drug abuse.

Though he has been confined to a wheelchair since the accident, Dr. Evans has accomplished many athletic goals and career achievements.

Dr. Evans is the first African-American to be in-ducted into the Arkansas Swimming Hall of Fame, the first to be displayed in the International Swimming Hall of Fame, and is a member of the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame.

 
SNOW.....finally.

Lyon students enjoy the long-awaited first snow of the season with a hearty snowball fight.
 

Civil War drama presented by Batesville Community Theater

Batesville Community Theater will present a dramatization of Stephen Vincent Benet’s poetic masterpiece, “John Brown’s Body,” on February 21, 22, and 23 at 7:30 p.m. in Independence Hall, University of Arkansas Community College, Batesville.

Lyon College students, faculty and staff will be admitted free with ID. General admission is $5.

The Pulitzer Prize work, directed by Gordon L. Boyer ’54, spans the Civil War, surging with historic crises, and relating intimate tales of combatants’ ruptured lives.

Starting with fanatical John Brown’s abortive revolt to abolish slavery, the production, through a number of characters, presents a dramatic picture of the tragic conflict that will always burden the soul of America. John Saltzman, Lindley Weygandt, and John Dahlquist, retired dean and vice president of academic affairs at Lyon College, are the actors in the production. Singing ballads and spirituals, a 30-voice a cappella chorus, directed by Gayle Stobaugh ’62, is an integral part of the performance.

The Scots opened the 2002 baseball season by sweeping Henderson State in a doubleheader Saturday in Arkadelphia. Lyon lost the lone game Sunday to start the season at 2-1 going into the first home stand this weekend.

Henderson scored only one run in the bottom of the ninth.

Pete May was the winning pitcher and Kris Kirby got the save.

In the second game, the Scots won 12-4. Lyon accumulated 16 hits, three of them by Adam Westmoreland. Brant Kogel had two RBI on two hits and Taylor Guillory and Erin Baker each had two hits, including a double apiece. Jason Livernois also had a double.
