  • Cheerleaders Appointed For The Coming Season Friday, May 8, 1964 Page 7 Candle Shop In Gatlinburg Has Unique, Colorful Art PICTURED ABOVE ARE THE GIRLS who will make up next year's cheering team. Teresa Roberts and Trudy Cauthen (kneel ing) are returning from last year, while Angle Jones, Susan Crisp, Betty Warren, and Janet Carpenter are new members. School is fast coming to a close; summer vacation is suddenly before us; and from most of us shouts of joy and prayers of thanks have been offered. May has brought with it flowers—May Day corsages and red roses for graduates. To most graduating Seniors these flowers are received with open arms—to others, with a hint of sadness. The students who must remain for two or three years don't seem to notice flowers, books or anything else except getting away for the summer months. We know (in our minds) that WCC will still be here next year, and no matter how happy we are to get away, we know that we will be just as happy to come back next fall. Just what do we have to look forward to when we come back? Well, there'll be the Lettermen next fall quarter; homecoming and old friends; and football and basketball games. And speaking of football and basketball season — when the season opens, the 1964-65 cheerleaders will be ready to take their places. These girls will be called on to cheer the Catamounts to victory when the football team meets Carson-Newman until the basketball team has played its final game. Leading the cheering team this year will be lovely Teresa Roberts who is also Miss Western Carolina College for 1964- 65. Teresa is a rising Senior from Jacksonville, Fla. She has served on the cheering team for a number of years. Her life and vitality have always added spirit to all our ballgames and her leadership qualities are quite evident. Teresa succeeds Betty Ann Berry who will graduate in a few weeks. Trudy Cauthen is also returning to the team as a "pro." Trudy, a rising Junior from Newton, begins her second year as a starter. Trudy has been a charming addition to the team and her experience will be a great asset during the coming year. The coming year will also see four new girls join the cheering team. This will be the first experience on the colege field for most of them, but their vigor and personalities are sure to win plaudits and cheers from the crowds. Janet Carpenter and Susan Crisp, both rising Juniors, will make their first appearance before WCC fans when football season opens in the fall. Janet, a lovely lass from Charlotte, and Susan, a Florida "belle," are sure to please the fans with their youthful vitality and devotion to school spirit. Both are genuinely interested in the Catamounts and show a real desire to help cheer them to victory. Betty Warren and Angie Jones complete the list for the 64-65 season. Both are rising Sophomores and both are anxi- STOVALL'S 5-10-25* STORE Next to First Union Bank Welcome to All New And Old Student Customers Blue Ribbon Shoe Shop Factory Worn Shoes Expert Shoe Repair PHONE 586-2457 8YLVA, N. C. ous to take to the field for the "Cats." Angie and Betty served as cheerleaders in high school, so cheering is actually not new to either of them. Angie is from Lake Junaluska and Betty is from Belmont. The two girls make lovely additions to the cheering team and are very capable of "holding" up their end of the line. The Cats have already begun drills and the cheerleaders are ready to go. These lovely girls are sure to win honors for WCC, and their abilities warrant much —Continued on Page 11 By Leon Singleton About 55 miles directly west of Cullowhee, just across the state line in Tennessee, lies a small tourist town called Gatlinburg. Gatlinburg is no stranger to members of the Western Carolina College campus. Fraternities and sororities are fond of holding various social functions in Gatlinburg, and students in general find Gatlinburg a pleasant weekend retreat from college cares. There is nothing truly singular about this small town, and replicas of It, Including the many motels, little theatre and bridle paths, can be found throughout the Smokies. There Is, however, one feature that is worthy of mention. Gatlinburg contains a small shop, named simply The Candle Shop, which deals In a very curious form of art. Candles range from the simplest straight forms to the wildest, twisting abstracts and are colored In every shade from pale and fragile pastels to loud and humorous mixtures. The Candle Shop is run by Stephen Bach and managed by his parents. Stephen, no stranger to art, designs his own molds for the candles and creates the myriad color schemes that bring the molded forms to life. He and his father designed and constructed the rustic interior of their small shop, including the metal work for a series of vats which contain the colored waxes. When he is not working in the shop, Steve, as his friends call him, paints portraits and dabbles in sculpting. The shop itself is friendly, cheerful and absolutely fascinating. Working with swift, deft hands Steve's mother dips candles to the specifications of the customers, keeping up a steady flow of quips and suggestions as she does so. Pleasing is the word to describe the family, Mr. and Mrs. Bach and two sons, as they work and laugh together behind the curving counter. The fascination of the shop is the manner In which the final candle is produced. Molded from hot paraffin the forms are placed on shelves behind the counter. A customer requests that one of the forms, perhaps a horse, be dipped to a certain color. First Into the brown, then a lighter shade to produce a tawny mane and tall, the horse begins to take on color. Then the body Is perhaps dappled with grey or dipped a solid black. Finally comes the touch up work and a dip in water to freeze the final form and color, and It Is ready for the happy customer. The attraction of the shop is not so much in the fnial products, exquisite though they are, but in the dipping of the candles. The atmosphere lends to the shop's attraction, and though of modest size in com- parason to its competitor, The Candle Shop is assured continuing success.
