The Roger Williams Baptist Fellowship is a reli- gious organization, sponsored by the University. The organization was established in 1961 to strengthen the faith among Baptist students, to increase knowledge of the Baptist doctrine and to act as a liaison between our religious experiences at home and the challenging experiences at school. Each semester the Fellowship sends representa- tives to Eagle Eyrie in Lunchburg, Virginia for the Vir- ginia Baptist Student Union Convention. More than 400 students from colleges in Virginia are usually present. Working under the direction of Rev. Cessar Scott, the Fellowship has tried to provide a meaningful pro- gram helpful to the growth, fellowship and religious experience of its members.

At the beginning of the year no less than twenty-five persons promised to work, but as the deadlines rolled in, the so called staff rolled out, when they realized that work had to be done. All drifted out until only the editor and the associate editor were left to do the job alone. As in many of life's situa- tions, printed pictures do not always show those who carry the burden of producing a job. This year, however, those who worked tried to be as creative as possible. They started out with the slogan Don't repeat last year's mistakes. Yet, some were repeated due to the lack of co-operation given by various organiza- tions and some of the faculty. Each organization was asked for snapshots of their respective groups in action. As the deadline approached, only two Clubs had responded. Therefore if the book is a success, the credit should be given to Sallie Shaw and James Peterson as well as to the school photographer, Mr. Scott L. Henderson. Yearbook Staff V, . A. -sz-H .

Even though the gym is not the most glamorous place to invite guests. Sidney Portier fbelowl nor the ushers and students seem to mind. - 11 'lm mill?
