C. G. Enterline Alumni Secretary and Placement Director Exploring new areas and developing: friends as sources of financial support for the college are the main responsi- bilities of the administrative associate. Many individuals and business industrial organizations share the Christian concept of higher education and are willing to aid the college financially. Mr. Young is concerned with the development and cultivation of people who are interested in the church- founded, independent college. Personal contacts and interviews constitute a great part of Mr. Young ' s duties, and it is necessary for him to travel to distant locations as well as to immediate areas. The col- lege receives financial support in the form of cash, com- memorative gifts, or gifts in terms of shares. Many people take great satisfaction in designating the gift for a special building or room. Others wish to share in the development of the college by giving capital assets such as stocks, bonds, farms, or other real estate. Mr. Young ' s office is also con- nected with estate planning work, in which the college re- ceives deferred gifts from people who wish to include the college in their wills. Professor Clarence G. Enterline serves the college in the positions of alumni secretary and placement service director. He acts to establish support between the college and its alumni. This includes the planning of homecoming and alumni days. Included in the duties of the director of the placement office are informing the student body of job opportunities and facilitiating the employment of seniors. Professor Enterline ' s aims for the college are to organize the alumni chapters where they are needed. He is also interested in reactivating the inactive chapters. There have been ten new chapters started within the last year, bringing the total number of alumni chapters to twenty. He is looking forward to the eventual expansion of the placement pro- gram and its separation from the alumni office. Serving for ten years as principal of the Reading High School adult evening school, Professor Enterline gained many experiences which were beneficial in his present work. He holds a B.S. in social studies and an M.S. in secondary school administration from the University of Pennsylvania.

Opal E. Pence Director of Student Activities A college community the size of Elizabethtown involves many meetings and conferences which entail scheduling dates and locations. The office of the director of student activities is the clearing house for the making of these arrangements. On-campus activities fall within the general groupings of clubs and organizations which need direction and over-all supervision. This responsibility is shared with the faculty advisor. It is the hope of Miss Opal Pence, as the director of student activities, to enrich the social and cultural life of the college student so that he does not find himself marooned on the lonely island of only academic interest. She helps the student develop a well-rounded environment. Miss Pence was graduated from Manchester College and attended three years at Fort Wayne Bible Institute. Both institutions are in Indiana. She has been pastor of local churches and has served as director of Christian educa- tion of the Crest Manor Church in South Bend, Indiana. She also served on the District Board of Northern Indiana and on the State Christian Education Commission for the In- diana Council of Churches before coming to Elizabethtown College. Filling the new position of campus chaplain is the Rev. Roy Johnson, a pastor in the Church of the Brethren. Mr. Johnson is available to the entire student body as a confi- dential counselor who will listen to a student ' s questions and concerns. In addition to serving as an advisor to the various religious organizations already functioning on campus, Mr. Johnson is trying to organize a religious group for every denomination represented on our campus. His other duties include arranging our chapel programs and scheduling student and drama deputations to the various churches. Mr. Johnson feels that his goal as college minister is to try to encourage an understanding between Christian unity and the academic disciplines. Elizabethtown College should be a place where students can get a good education and a clear idea of what our culture is, including its values and its weaknesses. Through education we should come to see our culture in the light of the Christian faith, realizing that Christianity has given much meaning to our culture. Mr. Johnson has a B.A. from North Central College, a B.D. from Bethany Divinity, and an S.T.M. from Andover Newton Theological School. Before coming to Elizabethtown College he served three pastorates. Elizabethtown College ' s athletic program had two com- petitive sports added this year: swimming and golf. Coach Theodore Roscher, director of athletics, worked with this new program and made preparations for the first Middle Atlantic Conference swimming championships to meet at Elizabethtown. Besides coaching basketball and golf, Coach Roscher also helped with plans for the new athletic fields and physical education building. Coach Roscher did his undergraduate work at East Stroudsburg State College, his graduate work at the Uni- versity of Illinois ahd Colorado State University, and is presently working toward his Masters from West Chester State College.
