Barrington College has the largest Student Education Association enrollment of all col- leges in the state. Most of the organization's fifty-five members are preparing to teach in elementary and secondary schools. The S.E.A., chartered by the National Education Association and the Rhode Island Association, endeavors to make students aware of good principles in education. Through speakers, films, panel discussions, and a monthly journal, the S.E.A. views current is- sues in education, and prepares students for membership in the N.E.A. The student is afforded the opportunity to attend conventions and speak with educators. During the year, Mr. Holbert, Principal of G. L. Nourse Elementary School pre- sented a lecture and slides from his trip to South America. In addition, a panel of stu- dent teachers held a discussion concerning problems in the classrooms. At a combined meeting with Rhode Island College, Dr. Gregory spoke on religion in the teacher's life. Students were sent to represent our chapter at Rhode Island College during Teacher's Institute this fall. The S.E.A. took an active part in Homecoming. Third prize was awarded to the float designed and built by the S.E.A. Centered on the float was the Fountain of Knowl- edge with a graduation cap and a Bible opened to the Great Commission placed on either side. Candied apples and doughnuts were sold at the soccer game by S.E.A. members. A display of a typical classroom scene was set up near the oval with the theme Promote Christian Education. The S.E.A. Banquet climaxed the year's activities. 99

Many hundreds of hours went into the completion of the TORCH in the form of ideas, arranging schedules, layout, photog- raphy, advertising, secretarial work, bookkeeping, composing copy, and so forth. lt was a big iob but the 1964 TORCH Staff is confident that this book you are now looking at is one of the finest ever produced here at Barrington. For years it has been the custom that the college yearbook be produced by the Jun- ior class. The editor, John Speicher, and his staff are all Juniors. Several Juniors in addition to those on the staff also contributed to our production. Furthermore, our work would never have progressed to completion without the cooperation of Miss Williams in the Post Office, Miss Ruth Martin formerly with the Book Store, Miss Vogel in the Dean's Office, Miss Gaffney in the President's Office, Mr. Paul Johnson our Ad- visor, Mrs. Crowell in the Registrar's Office and Miss Cook in the Finance Office, to name only a few of the people who helped us so much. The TORCH is not a profit-making organization, it is designed only to break even. Its sole purpose is to produce a work which the whole student body fand especially the Seniors to whom the book is dedicatedj will be proud to exhibit to their parents and friends and will treasure keeping. The book is designed to cover every facet of col- lege life here at Barrington, and we of the staff hope that many hours of enioyment will be derived from this our book. 98

The station is not a club organized to satisfy the hobby interests of a small group ot individuals. Instead, it is a radio service planned, built, owned and oper- ated by any and all members of the student body interested in obtaining experience in this medium of mass communication. This non-profit, non-commercial station is organized for the purpose of uniting cam- pus lite with the hope of enhancing communication between students. A third pur- pose is to acquaint interested personnel with the possibilities of Christian service in the radio ministry. Program content consists of both sacred, classical, and instrumental music. It also offers an announcement service as well as news coverage. There are also times of devotional messages and discussions. lt is a daily challenge to a richer Christian life for those who tune in during broadcasting hours. l00
