The Tales of the Covenanters Banquet Florist' blow your nose, llelz, Peterson, Pennington, Smith, lfieffnann lzll ll'lelI' foles fefflafkably Well Mr. Presley Edwards as he brings his address Only about three months later the second of the schools big banquets, and third of the all school events, arrived. The Tales of the Covenanters' ban- quet iso called in order to commemorate the first birthday of Covenant College in March of l956D was initiated by Covenants first social committee. They decided to plan the Covenanters' banquet ex- clusively around a classic, their purpose being both to entertain and to educate. This year was selected that well-worn childrens classic, .loelChandler Har- ris' The Tales of Uncle Remus. All of the decora- tions and entertainment focused on the delightful animal wit of the three Brers-Brer Rabbit, llrer liear, and llrer Fox. And Covenant seminary's very own dean, Dr. Buswell, blacked his round jolly face, put a bluebird on his shoulder, and lquicker than you can say zip-pa-dee-doo-da j became the South's beloved ole Cncle Remus. The speaker for the evening was Covenant's special friend and faithful supporter Mr. Presley Edwards, who was presented with an ink sketch of Edwards l-fall named in his honor at the beginning of the fall of 1962. Everyone left, sufficiently stuffed with The Green Parrots famous ly fried chicken, and ll hopej thinking about his laughing-place. lVhen the Covenant campus is in its most roman- tic mood, the backyard patio is converted into a table-for-four terrace, profusely decorated with fresh spring flowers and dotted with just enough gay lanterns to enhance the exciting atmosphere of a May twilight. Yarious sounds of music and merry-making intermingle throughout the early evening. The last but longest-lasting social event of the Bryan, as l1r'er FOX, glee- fully contemplates flinging liner Rabbit lDick Smithj into de briar patch year is the school picnic held at the end of May. Early on that Saturday afternoon the school is emptied of all its students, baseballs and bats, and volleyball equipment, everyone drives out to the l'picnic iest area of Babler Park. The hot sun feels just a little bit hotter after an afternoon of all sorts of exercise. Then comes the traditional treat of sloppy joes and eskimo pies. Meanwhile the sun begins to cool off and as it falls behind the summer- green trees, we Covenanters spread out on a nice grassy plot to end the picnic the way we always end each school year-with songs in our hearts and testimonies on our lips to the Person of Jesus Christ. g ,C Barbara Everett, Chairman Social Commzttac

Dr and Mrs. Smick moderate a typical Sunday evening discussion. John Knox Literary ociety Candlelight uppers McLane and Lawrence serve at Thanksgiving candlelight. There are those about campus xvho believe that lit is one of the lietter things in lifeAone of the things that will have lasting value and increasing pleasure for those who participate. Linfor- tunately, this is not universally the case and .lohn Knox Literary Society has been near defeat in the competition of curricular and extra-curricular demands. llow- ever, the executive committee states iirinly that there are enough students who are interested in intellectual pursuits to make lit a success-if only the chosen few were diligent and faithful. Cer- tainly, this facet of campus life is important to Covenant as well as to individual students.
