Groups off campus invite them to play, also. This group is newly organized this year and is very popular. Although there is no brass section except for one trombone, the type music that is played doesn ' t require a strong brass section. The bongo drums play a big part in this outfit and are very well liked by the students. The electric guitars are also outstanding in this outfit. Some of the members also sing for the group. This group is unique because it only has one girl. Neverthe- less she is very competent as she has written a song, but she has not had it published.

What ' s new is more than an idle question with members of The Yodler staff, who search for scoops and for the news behind the news, and who struggle with layouts and heads and stories in a race against the ever- nearing deadline. The Yodler not only reported, but made news this year, as Editor JoAnn Coker moved the campus stu- dent newspaper from a monthly to a twice-a-month publication, changed its appearance with a re-styled nameplate for page one, and introduced new features. Chief assistants were Kathy Fetscher, Associate Edi- tor, and Trudy Fowler, keeping The Yodler out of the Delta Psi O meg a As a result of Professor Vivian ' s leadership, Delta Psi Omega, the national honorary dramatic fraternity, has joined the South Carolina Speech Association, and on May 11, 1960, there was held a public initiation serv- ice for seven candidates for membership. They were Dickson, Timms, and Misses Livingstone, Harden, Crick, Miles, and Sammons, and they received membership in the dramatic fraternity on the basis of their perform- ances in a major production and on their knowledge of the meaning and symbols of Delta Psi Omega. This fraternity was organized on March 20, 1929, for the purpose oiF providing an honor society for per- sons attaining a high standard of work in dramatics and, incidentally, through the expansion of Delta Psi Omega among the colleges of the United States and Canada, to provide a wider fellowship for those interested in the college theater. The fraternity is not intended to take the place of the regular dramatic club or other producing groups, but as students qualify they are re- warded by election to membership in this society. Yodler Staff red as Business Manager. Working with the big three was a staff of reporters and advertising solicitors, oper- ating second semester from new quarters in The Pent- house, third floor of the new student center. In March, JoAnn, Kathy, and Trudy, with new staff members Mackey Davis and Bill Richie, went to the S. C. Collegiate Press Association Convention in Colum- bia. Their suitcases were a little heavier on the return trip, for they brought back the cup for the best college paper in the state from a campus of 750 enrollment or under; a certificate for the best page-one layout (done by Jo Ann); a certificate for the best sports story (written by Bill Moore); and for the best feature story (written by Barbara Gibson).

Circle K Club Soon after the beginning of first semester the Kivvanis CUib of x nderson became inter- ested in organizing an active Circle K. Club at Anderson College. Mr. Parker, who is pro- fessor of mathematics, was asked to be the sponsor for this new organization. Fifteen boys were carefully selected from the Sopho- more and Freshman classes. The organization is a service group intended to be of service on the CollegeCampus as well as in other ways in different sections. Some of the services performed are those of promoting safety on the campus, to aid in various programs spon- sored by the college, and assist during regis- tration. The motto of Circle K. is We Build . Circle K. builds chiiracter, and a desire to get ahead in the mind of the members. Circle K. is an international organization and each club is sponsored by an individual Kiwanis Club. The beginning of Circle K. was the effort put forth by businessmen to assist and guide the leaders of tomorrow. Circle K. Clubs are chartered by Circle K. International and are assisted by the literature provided in planning their projects. Sketch Club Front To Back: James Rauton, Bob Gibson, Ron.ild Gilreath, Bruce Creel, Gary Williams.

Since the club ' s only requirement is talent, its members consist of not only college stu- dents but persons from the City of Anderson and the surrounding area. Mrs. Cressie Holeombe selects the club members in the fall. Under her capable lead- ership, each individual member is allowed to develop his or her own special talent by painting all the different aspects of nature from winter to summer. The event most eagerly anticipated is the monthly field trip. The members go to Mrs. Holcombe ' s country hide-away, where they are allowed to sketch whatever they wish. The Sketch Club has proven to be a help- ful method of encouraging budding young artists and improving their skill and original- ity.
