Religion-in-Life Week is an attempt on the part of the Carroll body to further Christ's Kingdom on campus. Early in the school year ot small committee of faculty and students is chosen to lay the foundations for the larger committee which meets together about six weeks before , Religion-in-Life Week. Complete plans are made by this larger representative group. Religion-in-Life Week for the year l95O was observed from February l3 through February l6. lt is a tradition to engage a prominent outside leader for the week, and this year we were especially fortunate. Dr. Iames R. Hine, Director of the McKinley Foundation at the University of Illinois, proved to be one of the most outstanding Christians ever to grace the lawns of Carroll. His theme, Called to Live , was approached from the all-over topic of stewardship. As a new experiment the morning worship services were held in the gymnasium with the students seated according to class status. Dr. Hine's talks on Mon- day, Tuesday, and Wednesday were fol- lowed on Thursday by a closing service , led by Rev. Mr. Iohn Gray Rhind of the Carroll faculty. The afternoons of Religion-in-Life Week were devoted to Vocations with Meaning conferences led by Dr. George E. Watson, Mr. Charles Albers, and Rev. Mr. Dean Collins. Other features of the week were the coffee hours sponsored by women's groups, a fireside discussion led by Dr. Hine, a mo- tion picture entitled Reaching from Hea- ven , a hymn sing, and a consecration service led by Dr. Iohn F. Iansen which climaxed the week on Thursday evening. All of these attractive meetings plus in- tensive work done by student-faculty com- mittees contributed to a Religion-in-Life W'eek that proved to be more significant than ever before to the students, faculty. and friends of Carroll.

pehyioui -tqctivitiea . . . Looking back over the past year, we find a lot oi work and a lot of fun has gone into making this quite a busy year for S. C. A. All-school activities included the Halloween party and the Carnival and later the Valentine Dance. Most of the meetings were made more interesting by guest speakers who talked on a variety of subjects. Movies were also a part of our entertainment for the year. During the Lenten season, we sponsored Lenten services for all those interested. However, our work goes farther than that. We sponsored a campus- wide WSSF Drive and are contributing to the support of an adopted daughter, a Filipino girl. Our work will continue into the summer when we hope to send several representatives to the national conference at Lake Geneva. So We look wearily but happily back at another year. Kappa Sigma Delta, a non- sectarian religious organi- zation for all students plan- ning to enter full or part time Christian service, meets every other Wednes- day evening for a worship service followed by a speaker or discussion of some topic of interest. The three aims of the organiza- tion are to promote study, fellowship, and service among its members to bet- ter prepare them to take their places as leaders in the church. Page Seventy five

Members of the Westminster Fellowship for Presbyterion students, the Wesley Fellowship composed of Methodist students, the Catholic Club, and Gamma Epsilon Rho the Congregational Christian-Evangelical and Reformed group enjoyed worship, discussions, suppers and recreation at their respective meetings this past year. These groups strive to promote fellowship among the students. The Westminster Fellowship college group met at the First Presbyterian Church every Sunday evening during the School year. The programs included worship, discussion, and recreation. Outside speakers and mov- ies supplemented the programs directed by the members. Gamma Epsilon Rho, the Congregational and Evangelical and Reform church groups met the second and the fourth Sundays of each month. The meetings included dinner, a speaker, and a devotional service. The group had such speakers as Mary Elizabeth Thompson, Dr. Tom Stine, and President Nelson Vance Russell. A steering commit- tee composed of Carroll students and Wau- kesha post-hi planned the programs. ln April, Gamma Epsilon Rho was host to the state conference of post-hi groups held in Waukesha. The Wesley Fellowship is the religious group on campus for the benefit ot all Methodist students. Under the sponsorship of Mr, Iames L. Ridgeway this group ot about fifteen mem- bers meets every Sunday night. During their meetings there are either speakers or discus- sion groups. Throughout the year such so- cial activities as suppers, hay rides, and toboggan parties are enjoyed by all. The Catholic Association held its weekly meetings on Wednesday evenings at the Catholic Memorial High School. The aim and the theme of the club is to relate their re- ligious lite to their everyday lite. Under the leadership of Reverend Father Eschweiler, the members discussed various aspects of their iaith and heard talks on current religi- ous topics by their sponsor. Page Sc-vwzfy-sc-vm:
