The Canterbury Association is a vokin- tary association of Episcopal students which has for its purpose the deepening of their faith in and their loyalty to our Lord Jesus Christ through study, discussion, and fellowship. The Canterbury Association prayer is: Almighty God, We beseech Thee, with thy gracious favour to behold Anderson College, that knowledge may be increased among us, and all good learning flourish and abound. Bless all who teach and all who learn; and grant that in humility of heart all may ever look unto Thee who art the fountain of all wisdom; through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen. —Book of Common Prayer.

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.

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.

Baptist Student Union The BSU is a distinctive student program promoted by the Southern Baptist Convention for Baptist stu- dents. Even though primarily for Baptists, all students are eligible to belong to this specific group by joining one of its campus organizations. Through the BSU each individual is encouraged to participate in the religious activities of the campus and his or her church. Its functions and objectives are to relate the student properly to his church and denomi- nation during college days; to promote the church min- istry; to present a positive Christian witness to the cam- pus and community; and, to develop balanced Christian personalities. It also provides Christian fellowship which stimu- lates enduring friendships; it enables the student to meet the challenge of materialistic skepticism and strengthens his faith in the face of intellectual prob- lems; it encourages scholarship as a part of effective Christian witnessing; it develops Christian leadership through a well-organized campus program; it magnifies Christian citizenship and world responsibilities. All campus organizations of the Baptist work come under the name of BSU. The executive council leads out in all phases of each organization. Those functioning on a campus are as follows: Y VA, Ministerial Band, Missions Band, and the church-related band. The BSU sponsors various activities during the school year, such as, vesper and chapel services; mission studies, and deputation teams to other campuses and churches; Religious Emphasis Week, Dedicated Voca- tions Week, Christian Home ' eek. Summer Missions Program; conventions and retreats; Ridgecrest assembly; socials and banquet; and, a sustained evangelistic pro- gram throughout the year.
