Voices blending gyptians, grapes. piano keys, and scarecrows: What could these possi- bly have in common? These were just four of the themes for the 1987 Spring Sing Ex- travaganza. The annual event. held on April l6. l7. and 18, attracted numerous people to the Benson Auditorium to watch at least one of the four programs presented. Paul Lockhart. Shelli Miller. Julie Smith. Jay Walls and Terrance Talley hosted Spring Sing and the Harding jazz band provided the music for the presentation. Hours of practice were spent in preparation for all the club participants, hosts and hostesses, jazz band members and others as they worked to produce the best Spring Sing program. Jack Ryan, Spring Sing coordinator, said. uAll the clubs have gone beyond the call of duty to produce their individual shows. Winning shows received cash awards of $200 for each award they won and a rotating trophy 0r plaque for their ef- fort. We sent most of our money to Fran Coon. an Italian missionary. The rest of the you mad at! Spring Sing is a lot of hard work, yet ifs a time to become close to other people. From a directofs point of view, it was time consuming but ifs worth everything to win a sweepstakes award. to win uSpring Sing was great! It offered the participants a chance to meet new people and learn to work with others, e- Debbie Pierce money we saved to spend on general club activities, said Leann Baker of Regina. One highlight of the show was a tribute to president Clifton L. Ganus. Jr. After 22 years of serving as president. Ganus step- ped down to serve as Harding's first Chancellor. While the host and hostess per- formed the song Stannakeri a slide show honoring the outgoing president, was shown. The tribute received a standing ova- tion every time. After the traditional singing of ltUnited We Stand. on Saturday night by everyone, awards were presented. tll was relieved when it was over, I was crying because I was surprised. I really did not expect the sweepstakes award? Baker said. Even though all individual clubs did not win awards. participants could still realize the true reason for Spring Sing. lhEven though we only won a participation honor, I am still glad I did Spring Sing. It gave me a chance to grow closer to my club and just to have a good time. said Donann Cummings of Shantiht Open for success.

Starting with a fter driving three days from Califor- nia, not sleeping or shaving, and feel- ing like a general bum, coming here and having people approach my car to help me unload showed just how much people care. said Robert Alden. Student Impact received typical reactions of caring from all of the freshmen and transfers. However. greeting and unloading was not the first activity of the week long event. After the success of last year's premier run. co-directors John Scott and Karen Sullivan were Chosen for the fall. Part of the suc- cess of the program stemmed from the vi- sions of the leaders. Scott said, llImpact was a way to ease adjustments, like a big hug, to welcome students and parents and make them feel at home. ' Impacters mainly dealt with attitudes towards the changes that came with a new administration. In energy group sessions and general assemblies. leaders stressed the importance of a positive attitude and a sub- missive spirit in dealing with the high stan- dards expected. Energy groups consisted of 12-15 new students and three older stu- dent leaders; they met daily to discuss such topics as study habits, rules and spirituality. gate oadcl 6t! Student Impact gave everyone, new students and returning students, a chance to meet people and to grow closer.

Some planned activities that made this bon- ding possible was an evening of get- acquainted games. A few of these were a campus wide scavenger hunt an ice cream social. a nerd contest. and a free-for-all water balloon fight on the front lawn. Attitudes, adjustments, fun, and friends all combined to make Student Impact great. A final ceremony brought all the ingre- dients together to give the real significance. Scott said. Student Impact is more than just a hello c0mmittee...at the closing ceremony, it all fell together for me. The purpose was for them to see Jesus living in our lives. and to point to Him.
