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.

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.

For many years such a group was discussed, and several attempts were made to form a cam- pus organization of Methodists, both day and resident students. This 1961 group, however, is the first to complete an organization, and to hold regular meetings and social events. Two local Methodist Churches, St. John ' s and Trinity, are co-sponsors for the ' esley Fellow- ship. Working with the group are Mrs. Rob King and Mrs. James Phillips from St. John ' s, and Mrs. Ned Camp from Trinity, as advisors, with Miss Antoinette Jones as campus contact for the group. The brand-new Fellowship has sent represent- atives to the state fall Methodist retreat, to the spring state cotmcil planning session, and to the state spring retreat. Programs have included a series on The Christian Marriage and on The Beliefs of a Methodist, with speakers including local Meth- odist ministers and laymen. The Wesley Fellowship has presented a pro- gram at a Clemson College Wesleyan Founda- tion meeting, and the group has ben entertained by both churches. Christmas caroling at the homes of shut-ins was sponsored in December. First student council for the Methodists in- includes Lanie Dunlevy, president; Joyce Glenn, vice-president; Trudy Fowler, secretary-treasur- er; and Barbara Davis, World Christian Com- munity Chairman.
