Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God ' s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — which is your spiritual worship. Romans 12:1 Shtfd iScpYice A chance to share abilities and love, organizations and special groups gave students an opportunity to serve. Students were able to ap- ply their heads and hearts in singing groups, PCI, and other student - run organi- zations to help those around them. Giving up ourselves to truly live reached into long practice hours and entire days that were spent playing with a pal or working on homecoming. Allowing our time to be used by someone else was not al- ways easy, but often it opened a door to serve that was closed when we were occu- pied. Like clay on a potter ' s wheel we were spun and pushed and made ready for use. So whether the hours were spent in a sen- ate meeting or singing THE MESSIAH, stu- dent organizations offered more than just experience with people. These groups fur- nished students with an open door — with a chance to be shaped for service. y 3 A 20 Organizations

The Hilltop Players Present The Diary of Anne Frank The production of THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK caught the attention and interest of many. It was after Mrs. Morgan and some of the Hilltop Players viewed the Cumberland County Playhouse production that they decided they wanted it to be the fall play. Mrs. Morgan had already had some previous experience with the play, which was a benefit for all. The story of Anne Frank is a human story which has continued to touch people over the years. It has been able to do this for a good reason — it is true. Doing something true real- ly made it stand out to me because then you can get to know the people involved and learn what the times were really like, which we did, said Mrs. Morgan. For two full nights, Friday and Saturday, No- vember 18 and 19, those from Bryan and the community caught a glimpse of life during the very hard times of World War II — through the eyes of the young Jewish girl, Anne Frank.
