Throughout the year the message of the choir reaches hundreds of people who attend the concerts. Each year this group makes a ten-doy tour to various sections of the Eastern United States during Spring Vocation. Other activities of the choir in- clude singing out local churches, state and national conventions, and at events held at the college and seminary. They have sung on radio and television, and some of their selections have been recorded. Under the leadership of Prof. Joel Anderson, the choir practices several hours each week. Before the beginning of the school year and during the period between first and second semester, on extensive choir marathon is held at which time the group has an opportunity to perfect and polish the entire con- cert program. Being a member of the College Choir is certainly not all hard work, however. An eagerly awaited time each year for the thirty-five members of this organization occurs in March when the group em- barks on the annual Spring Choir Tour. Traveling by bus,'the choir covers hundreds of miles each year, and presents concerts in numerous churches and high schools. This year the Middle West was the area to which the choir journeyed, singing to many eager and re- ceptive groups throughout Ohio and Michigan. The hospitable Christian families of the churches sponsor- ing the concerts opened up their homes each night to the weary travellers and made them feel most welcome. One policy of the choir is to take advantage of the educational features and places of interest in the cities where concerts are given. A highlight of this year's tour was a visit to on automobile foc- tory in Detroit. At the close of the tour the choir members were greeted by their many friends and schoolmates who attended the final Homecoming Concert in our gym- nosium-auditorium. The Eastern Baptist College Choir plays a unique and important role in our College. The opportunities it provides for its members to present their sacred message are richly rewarding both to the individuals taking part and to those to whom the message is sung.

THE SPOTlIGHT STAFF SPOTLIGHT EDITORS The 1958-59 Spotlight, under the able leadership Ct Carey, 6' Daniels' of Editor Calvin Carey and faculty adviser, Professor Robert N. Burrows, has had two main objectives for this school year. The first objective was to produce a professional-looking format. This was done by dis- sembling a block of advertisement which at one time constituted the fourth page of the Spotlight. The addition of more pictures has also helped to fulfill this objective. The second obiective was to live up to the pur- pose of our bi-weekly publication . . . to spread in- formation, promote good will, and build school spirit. The Editorial Board with this obiective in mind has omitted many articles and in some cases col- umns which they felt did not meet the set standard. They have been very critical of their work, and this has brought about the publication of a Spotlight which has gained Eastern's pride and appreciation.
