Two of God’s favorites, sophomores Michael Dick and Lynee Bellendir, rehearse for the fall perfor¬ mance. CLUBS PROVIDE UNITY Students unify by joining clubs. Members learn to interact so the club may prosper and grow. Drama students and music majors, for example, find that working together is im¬ perative when making a production. Musi¬ cians also learn to work together in order to perfect songs in choir and dancesteps in Hilltop Singers. Likewise, drama students who join Hilltop Players work within each others’ schedule in order to perform singing telegrams. Some clubs, such as the Student Senate, depend on organizations in order to stay united. Others, such as the Hilltop Players, find that a lack of rigid guidelines enhances their club. Sponsor Kay Robinson said, “We don’t have any formal meeting except for acting class...and we don’t have to an¬ swer to anyone but ourselves.” She added further, “They have a lot of responsibility on their own...if they don’t fulfill it..the other group members will let them know they’re out.” So, whether the clubs are united because of organization, or because of responsibility, students learn to work to¬ gether. Unity is provided by the Student Senate. One way was the Halloween dance they sponsored. Shown left to right are David Wells, Kevin Gerstenkom, Mary Mc- Vean, Steve Gould, Mark Hunter, Terry Weathers, Tina Fredendall and David Powers. .a 4 Club Unity

Unity also proved to be important for those students who lived in the dorms. Learning to compromise as roommates or trailermates helped students to become closer. Also, since housing students were- generally the only ones who ate their eve¬ ning meals in the Union, they had more chances to meet other housing students. In a way, even news events provided unity. ABC’s airing, “The Day After,” a story about the effects of a nuclear war, en¬ couraged students to share their own views on nuclear armament and even death. Other news events were also discussed; all of which led to a better understanding of others. Of course, understanding leads to unity. Going to their next class, Linda House, and Bonnie Broce stop to talk in the hall of the Technical Building. Art students work on their ceramic peices. Shown here are Debbie McMahan, Debbie Hickie, Rowena Doze, and Lesa Froetschner.
