The SLU Gospel Choir, a musical ensemble of singers worshiping God, was established in 1973 and is known for being the university’s first African-American organization on campus.
Michelle Brister, a senior music major and president of the organization, reflected on her experience in her final semester.
Brister said, “As President, my experience with the SLU Gospel Choir for the past three years has been beautiful. The SLU Gospel Choir or ‘GC’ for short, is my family. It warms my heart that there’s a place in GC where young people can freely sing praises to God. I am proud to be a part of the first Black organization on SLU’s campus.”
A legacy of funeral home directors in Monroe
Tom Adamich
At one point during most of the 20th Century, the corner of Elm Avenue and Macomb Street in Monroe could be considered Monroe’s funeral center. While most people are still familiar with the Allore Funeral Home located at 203 E. Elm Avenue, memories of the Earle Little Funeral Home located at 115 E. Elm Avenue may have faded over time.
In 1938, Earle and Elsie Little founded the Earle Little Funeral Home. They operated as a husband-and-wife team until Mr. Little s death in 1961. Richard P. Cavanaugh, an employee since 1948, partnered with Mrs. Little to operate the business until her retirement in 1979. Thomas Bilan was a partner until 1986 when Cavanaugh became sole owner and operated the business until his death in 1992.
Certificate of completion signed for pipeline segment
CLOVIS More than seven miles of pipeline, signed, sealed and delivered.
That was the report from Eastern New Mexico Water Utility Authority Administrator Orlando Ortega, who reported he signed the certificate of completion Wednesday for the authority’s Finished Water 2 project.
“This has been a good project,” Ortega said during the authority’s Thursday meeting at the Clovis-Carver Public Library, “with good people that guaranteed its success.”
The project is part of the authority’s interim groundwater project, a pipeline network connecting the authority members for groundwater delivery prior to the overall project’s final connection point at the Ute Reservoir in Quay County.
