. é é Whiiors’ e Cle The smallest, yet one of the liveliest clubs on campus, is the Physical Education Majors Club. This club encourages participation in campus sports and gives its members training in in- structing when High School Play Days are held on campus. With the Sock Hop as an original money- making project, they introduced new Saturday night entertainment. A typical meeting might find them at Miss Crary’s for a spaghetti supper, taking a memorable canoe ride on a windy day, or journeying to Charlotte to see the Harlem Globe Trotters. LEFT TO RIGHT: Locklear, Lowrimore, Lawhon, Player, Savvas, President, Miss Crary, Sponsor. Chapel BP roctors Before mass meeting begins, students, laugh- ing and chattering, leisurely fill the auditorium. But one group of girls is already there and at work. There ate our chapel proctors—the right hand women of the president at Student Body meetings. Checking attendance, they are S| careful not to overlook the girl who carelessly | sat in the wrong seat, or the eternal stragglers who arrive after the last bell. The chapel | | proctors must distribute any material and collect | | votes. Theirs is a necessary job always well done. LEFT TO RIGHT: S. Rodgers, Head Proctor; Umbers, Ulmer, Long, Thomason, Yarborough.

Williams, Hucks, Beasley, Day Side Gis Gibson. Marian Tyner, President A unique type of student is enrolled at Coker. Usually appearing on campus only during the day, these students may be distinguished by an armful of books, an ability to airive ten minutes late for Civ lectures, or a set of keys to the “taxies” they operate. Their habitat when not in class is probably the library, the canteen, or the lounge in the Science Building. These are our day students—the commuters who do not have the convenience of walking out of the dorm across campus to Class. From Bishopville, Darlington, Dil- lon, Florence, Hartsville, Lake View, and McBee they come; some travel over 100 miles a day! And oh, the cold mornings when the car won't start, or you leave an im- portant paper at home, or it rains unexpectedly and you slosh through the puddles sans rain apparel. Thus, from mutual involvment in these special prob- lems, the Day Students’ Club was organized. Perhaps the major function of this club is to combat the “unknown quantity” which confronts commuters. This “x” factor may be anything from a change in class schedule before holidays to special announcements made in the dorm. It is frustrating to arrive at Class only to discover that the class is not meeting or met just an hour ago! Through regular meetings the day students keep up- to-date on campus activities and can take their rightful places as members of our college community. TAS,

With a handful of programs, a Coker arm- band, a pretty evening dress, and a pleasant smile the ushers greet guests and students as they enter the auditorium. These are the girls who arrive there thirty minutes before anyone else and remain on the job until the house- lights are dimmed. They must see that every- One receives a program, and reserve or locate seats for latecomers. Whether at convocation, community concerts, faculty recitals, lectures, the Literary Festival or graduation, our charm- ing ushers are there—tready with a smile and a helping hand.

Students awaken with fear, or sleepily reach to turn off their alarm clocks. Then the realization comes—this is a fire drill. Automatically lights are turned on, windows opened, raincoats and towels grabbed, doors closed. Already the fire wardens on each hall are on the alert, checking rooms, counting noses outside, and hurrying to the bell tower to report. “But we didn’t get out in two minutes flat,’ Chief Player says. So we gripe a little when we have another drill, but only because we can have confidence in our fier wardens if a real fire threatens Coker. LEFT TO RIGHT, FIRST ROW: Savvas, J.
