Even with the amount of power that they have over the college, the Board of Trustees is still subject to the Baptist State Convention. Near the end of the first semester, the wives of the Trustees sponsored a Campus Beautification Day which gave the stu- dent body a chance to show pride in their abna mater. ttttmdtht tti

Personality in a Position of Importance The task of Vice-President, although very time con- suming, never keeps Mr. McGraw from giving a word of wit. The Vice-President of the college, Mr. Thomas J. McGraw, is the fund-raising public relations man on campus. He as- sists Dr. Poston in all fund-raising cam- paigns and serves as executive secretary of these campaigns. He also has the privilege of organizing and promoting Christian Education Day when each Baptist church in the state gives a special offering directly to the sup- port of the college. Besides being a fund raiser, Mr. Mc- Graw serves as the chief assistant to the President and presides over the college in the absence of the president. He also as- sumes the responsibility of establishing and maintaining an adequate public rela- tions program by presiding over the public relations committee. Mr. McGraw, one of the most well- liked administrators on campus, plays an extremely valuable role in the operation of one of the most rapidly progressing colleges in the Southeast. 16 .J LilJi ,n. ,• ' . r ' I ■■ ' ■■ f TTm?
