specif (wsfeytfees As our calendar year unfolded it revealed a portfolio of special events which were aimed at keep¬ ing us occupied - without too much boredom - in our commu¬ nity. Our college education went far beyond the $1,000 per semester academic fee we invested. Sep¬ tember through May there was always something on SAD’s monthly calendar to amuse us. We did not seem to mind an evening at the Student Center watching a Buster Keaton film festival - if we were with a friend. We were con¬ tent. Entertainment? Definitely. Traveling to Kings Island with friends, we remember arriving at the near-Cincinnati sight at three-hour intervals. It mattered not that we were late; half the fun was in getting there. And so it was with our campus pastimes. SAD, social clubs, and various groups provided diversified entertainment. Half the fun was being with friends and enjoying ourselves. 18

AC Comes Alive In Pageantry of Spring The spring of 76 was one of abundance for the Anderson Col¬ lege community. Good weather, a multitude of activities, success¬ ful athletic teams, a rich religious spirit, a flood of bicentennial reminders, and of course, plenty of schoolwork marked the coming of spring for most A.C. students. One of the highlights of last spring was the spiritual enrich¬ ment on campus, keyed by the presence of Jimmy DiRaddo as the speaker for Religious Emphasis Week. The success of his speaking was evidenced as the last service, usually held in Byrum Hall, had to be moved to Park Place sanctuary because of the large crowd. Those in attendance were not disap¬ pointed as the message of the eve¬ ning seemed to speak directly to many. As those last days of school raced dizzily past us, the all school picnic at Mounds Park gave everyone a much needed break before finals. Carol Delong was crowned May Festival Queen cap¬ ping what many said was the most popular event of the year. A. The arrival of warm weather sends skateboard enthusiasts Derryll Gehring and Tom Runyon out to perfect their bal¬ ance on the hills. B. Sue Hardesty and Kim Lockhart discover that the raft race is quite an invigorating experience when one gets totally involved. C. Winning form, like that of John Bargfeldt, is the key to the Ravens’ success as Hoosier- Buckeye Champs. 20
