M tt' STUDE T COUNCIL I ,Mem vm N The largest Student Council ever began immediately in the school year to fulfill its purpose of coordinating student life. Adjustment to the new campus was ad- vanced with a welcome committed for the new fresh- men in September and with the Freshman Talent Show in October. Another Council-sponsored activity in- volved the October mock political campaign when Mark CBarry Goldwaterj Belz swept to victory over Steve QLBJJ Woods in proof of keen interest in the national campaign by the high percentage of campus voting. ln its desire to help the students and to provide a good atmosphere, the Council carried out many pro- jects-purchasing a television set, placing magazines in the lounge and library, organizing the recreation hall, decorating the lounge during the Christmas sea- son, honoring the basketball team and cheerleaders at a banquet in March, and setting up discussion groups. The Council took a step toward an even bigger part in the school affairs as it had full charge of the student chapel on Monday mornings. A greater unity in the classes was encouraged by designating the last Monday morning chapel period each month for class meetings. Never complete without the Council-sponsored Student Project, Covenant faced an April 20 deadline for rais- ing 2131500 for the library-a deadline which everyone faced with conhdence because of the tradition of Cov- enant students who always come through.

CHRISTIAN SERVICE CGUNCIL The Christian Service Council, under the direction of David Bragdon, chairman, has had to undergo many changes this year. Moving to our new location caused a real problem for the work of establishing places of service for the students, but with prayer and deter- mination the Council began the task. During the lirst few weeks of the school year, the Council investigated many areas of service, but the doors were not opened. The Council continued to pray, asking the Lord's help. This prayer was answered through Miss Kennedy. who works with Child Evan- gelism of Negro Children in the schools. She helped the Council to establish teacher-training classes and workshopsg she also helped to set up Bible classes in a Negro school in Chattanooga. The Lord continued to open doors throughout the year. ln the beginning of the second semester, homes were opened to enable students to teach Children for Christ classes on Lookout Mountain. A signilicant beginning was also made in forming and sending out preaching and musical teams. Although it began with many obstacles and dis- couragements for the Council, the year has been one of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord for His great faithfulness.
