STUDENT MISSIONS FELLOWSHIP The purpose of Student Missions Fellowship this year has been to afford the students an oppor- tunity for intercessory prayer and to give them a missionary outlook. In order to fulfill the iirst of these goals, there have been six prayer groups--e Europe, Africa, the Far East, Islam, North Amer- ica, and South America-each meeting once a week for a half hour, and zt Missionary Minute in chapel every day. The Saturday evening meetings have been de- signed to give SMF members new insight into the call and service of missionaries. Special mission- ary speakers, panel discussions, and Elms were ar- ranged. As a part of this missionary outlook, an SMF project was initiated to raise 3500.00 for literature work in Peru. The money was used to publish the fifth primer in a series of seven which are being used to teach the Quechua Indians to read. In conjunction with the project, the annual SMF dinner was planned around a Latin Ameri- can theme. OFFICERS: President R. Lambert, J. Sin- gleton, H. Mischke, D. Mozes, J. Cox , Ki-

SPECIAL SPEAKERS Covenant enjoyed the ministry of several outstand- ing visitors this year. The Reverend Tom Watson Jr., of The Evangelical Alliance Mission, gave a series of messages on the Epistle to the Philippians for the annual Spiritual Life Emphasis Week in the early fall. Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer came from L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland, to hold formal lectures, discussion groups, and private conferences on cam- pus for a week in Novemberg his 'stimulating ideas on contemporary philosophical thought, theology, and the arts left a deep impression on students and faculty. Shortly afterward, the Minor Prophets were expounded and made relevant to the Christian life today by Dr. Arthur F. Glasser, home director of the China Inland Mission. In February, the Rever- end Don W. Hillis, the home director of The Evan- gelical Alliance Mission, brought the Missionary Emphasis Week messages. The Reverend Tom Watson Jr Dr. Francis A.

CHORALE CHORALE OFFICERS: President J. Singleton, L. Phillips, S. Mahlow, D. LeRoy, B. Miller, Business Manager David Bragdon After the 1964 choir tours, Dr. Rayburn com- mented that these may well have been the best series of concerts ever to represent Covenant. Needless to say, the members of the chorale were immensely pleased to hear this, but they still re- minded themselves of some of the magniticent boo- boos they had committed. For example, during one number everyone suddenly stopped singing as if by prior agreement. Dr. Rayburn stood beauti- fully waving his arms to the accompaniment of the piano and a silent Chorale. Seconds later, when everyone had recovered, the choir resumed its singing of Spirit of Life. There were many other mistakes, such as unplanned solos, bobbled speeches, and stoles that wouldn't stay put. This was an exciting year to be in choir. During the semester break the chorale traveled to Flori- da. As the bus rolled deeper and deeper south, the temperature slowly rose upward until in Sara- sota, Florida, Covenanters swam in the Gulf of lilexico and romped on the beach. 'Thar' .ff
