Aquarius Dance Club enjoys spring party After a hiatus of almost 10 years, members of Aquarius Dance Club have restarted their group and celebrated in May with a spring party at King’s House Antiques at Pepper Place. Members enjoyed wine and appetizers as they mingled among fine antiques and
rugs and heard about future club plans from President Marion Wilson. Wilson singled out party planners Susan Hoke, JoAnne Pounds and Patti Summerford and thanked them for the fun gathering that attracted almost fifty members.

CONTINUED from page 1 after my dream,” commented Smith, “she has been right beside me every step of the way.” Smith wasn’t the only high school student involved in the creation of her album; fellow rising senior Wesley Shaw was the photographer for the picture on the cover of her album. Shaw runs her own photography business, Wesley Shaw Photography, and has been taking pictures for over two years. When Smith isn’t singing, she also enjoys running cross country, playing guitar and piano, teaching a Bible study
and going to Lake Martin with her friends and family. While she is still unsure of where she wants to go to college, she plans to study music and hopes to become an accomplished music artist. But for now Smith plans to continue to sing and write songs. “It’s the perfect escape,” she said. “Whenever I sing, the atmosphere around me fades away, and I can get lost in a song that has its own unique story. I like to make people feel the same things I do by painting a picture with music and lyrics.”
