Since Huntingdon is a church-supported school, it naturally follows that there should he a Christian Life Emphasis Week twice each year. What could have been a slow six days was considerably enlivened this year by our two stimulating speakers-The delightful Bishop Kenneth Goodson spoke first semester, using a lilting Irish brogue; he was followed by I)r. Ted Runyan from Emory, who led us to the conclusion that God is not dead, but not before we had all examined our faiths more carefully. Not in the religious vein, but truly meaningful, was the awarding by Huntingdon of a Doctor of Laws degree to Dean Paul Stone, surely one of the most deserving persons ever to receive such recognition. Unfailingly a champion for the cause of academic freedom, he has symbolized the best of Huntingdon College through the years; and for this we are all grateful. 28

Hawk Day arrived, welcomed with a glorious fanfare of convocation programs, consequently anticipated eagerly by would-be athletes and others who merely wanted another escape from studying. The central point of all this light and sound (especially the latter!) was undoubtedly Friday evening’s faculty-student basketball game, passionately looked forward to by students with memories of the previous year’s ceremony. Other events included Volkswagen races, powderpuff football, uninhibited dances, and the big game Saturday night, which we lost. 27

During these days, the unexpected was the set pattern of existence; and anything went— except, of course, what the catalog said. 29
