CHRISTIAN SERVICE COUNCIL LEFT TO RIGHT: Barnes, J., Webb, Mahlow, W., Fite, Seymourg Woolwineg Shera- ton, Spern. .fgwbi My I fs: The most important fact about Covenant students is that their philosophy is founded on truth. Therefore, they can't resist the opportunities to witness of their beliefs. Christian Service Council, which established it- self in classes for Negro children last year, has this year spread out to seven other areas as it has matured. These include Children for Christ classes, work with re- tarded children, sponsorship to Scout troops, hospital visitation, gospel teams, musical groups, and a college conference to be held in August. Among this year's goals was the beginning ofa forum team - a team sent to different campuses to debate on the credibility of Christianity. Hence, a city that is set on a hill can- not be hid.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE The Social Committee, without which there would be no chance for girls to wear formals, boys to buy flow- ers, and waiters to balance trays on their noses, has delighted everyone this year by its ingenious and me- ticulous work. Among the exciting displays of the Com- mittee's talent first semester have been the hayride and rodeo in October and the Christmas Banquet in December. The Banquet, for which committee members worked for weeks, had committees and more commit- tees to handle the skits, costumes, decor, music, and the program. Second semester activities included the highly secretive Tales of the Covenanters Banquet in the spring, and the Garden Party in May, the elegant semi-formal occasion which puts a finishing glow on a sociable year at Covenant.

STUDE T MISSIONS FELLOWSHIP Realizing the need for support and encouragement of foreign missions, certain students have responded to their responsibility as student missionaries. The Stu- dent Missions Fellowship has organized seven prayer groups which meet weekly to intercede for missions in Europe, Asia, Africa, Islam, Latin America, and North America. SMF also sponsors the Mission Preparatory Group under the direction of Mr. Lambert. This year the Committee met on Saturday nights un- der the leadership of President Abed Ismail to plan its programs and yearly project. This year they have sup- ported the Urbana and Toccoa Falls conferences and presented a film, Beloved Enemy, for students. The student missionaries not only pray but work in gospel teams at home. Their social highlight is the SMF Spring Banquet, wh en announcement of the meeting ofthe mon- etary goal for the organizational project is traditional. PRE-MINISTERIAL CLUB Left to right, tront row: Sick- ert, Keillor, Mr. Anderson. Second row: Falcon, Acker, Stanley. Back row: Graham, Caines. The Pre-Ministerial Club was formed this year in or- der to give young men who plan to enter theological seminary a chance to discuss peoblems of the ministry and the opportunities and challenges available to them. A good beginning membership profited under the spon- sorship of Rev. Charles W. Anderson, of the Covenant Bible Department. Lu
