Student Life ,. • I - After arriving on campus in September, and plodding through orientation and registration, we settled down to a year of study and activity. There seemed to be activities to fit everyone ' s every desire and mood. The annual all-school Halloween party with the theme The House of Bugaboo, was as horrifying and as funny as it traditionally is. Following close behind was the Christmas Party with the theme of Ye Olde Yuletide, suggestive of the nineteenth century. Social entertainments add to the enjoyment of a college education and play an important part in a student ' s life. In the following pages you will find a capsule report of the year ' s events and ac- tivities which will reveal why each Olivet student is captivated by the academic and social life on the O.N.C. campus.

■Ht: Ned Long, Gail Zea, Karen Mullenax, and Byron White put many hours of rehearsal time into the production. The Speech Club presented the three-act play, Young Lincoln, to the students and the general public on May 5 and 6 at the Bradley High School. In producing the play much trouble and time were devoted to locating antiques and costumes to be used in the play, so that authenticity of the time could be effected. Byron White and Gail Zea played the starring roles of Abe Lincoln and Ann Rutledge. Ned Long and Karen Mullenax played in the supporting roles of Mr. and Mrs. Rutledge. A prologue, taking the audience to Abe ' s childhood, began the play. The play featured the influence of the Rutledges on young Lincoln in running for political of- fice and Abe ' s suffering over Ann ' s death. Dr. Brown and Professor Beeman directed the play with the assistance of Carol Davidson, student director, and Paul Springer, the production manager.
