Social Board Works Well To Help Furman Students Play The Social Board works to plan campus events for the good of all the students but does not interfere with events planned by other groups on campus. The Social Board is headed by Miss Alice Holladay and is composed of twelve men and women from the Junior and the Senior classes. Each year, three men and three women are elected from the Junior class to serve a two-year term. All during the year, the Social Board has been busy planning to meet the students’ need for entertainment and relaxation. It has sponsored drop-ins after pep rallies and ball games, campus movies, and receptions for different groups. The Social Board has also sponsored several special events. Some of these were the All-University Picnics in the fall and the spring, the student decorating of the New Campus for Christmas, the reception held at the first of the year for the freshman men, and the concert given by the comedian Dave Gardner and singer Chris Conner. The primary task of this group has been to evaluate social activities and to supplement the campus social life with a program designed to appeal to the interests found within a student body such as Furman's.
