CHRlSMl-l - GOD'S ANOINTING The Summer Reach-out Team, Chris- ma , traveled over 10,000 miles the summer of '75. This talented team shared the message of Christ and His redemptive power in over 60 concerts through the medium of song and spoken word. They lived up to their name as they continuously strived to set them- selves apart unto the Gospel of Christ , and to live by the message which they brought to so many people. Because of their prayerful efforts, many seeds were planted, many lives were changed. lVlany memorable experiences were theirs, other than singing and preach- ing. They were excited to make an al- bum inthe Spring. Travelling in an air conditioned van, some wore blankets while others shed shirts. Barry had a shocking introduction when his amp vvasn't grounded. Jody fell in love. Beth got a permanent and new hair style. Dan proved blondes do have more fun . Barry washed his hair in Janitor in A Drum accidentally. A summer long to be remembered by the team members and by all those who heard them. zijn Y' , L L TO R--Susan Fleshman, Pat Hargis, Barry Lovett tcaptainl, Jody Stuart, Dan Copelin, Beth Weiss.

This excellent reach-out team has blessed innumerable congregations with their splendid harmony and soothing blend. Originally a ladies' quartet by the name of Sweet Surrender , the group chose, this year, to add a little variety by selecting two male members, Scott lVlathiason and Daryl Christensen. In the pro- cess a new name was appro- priately chosen--New Song. Lea Anne Johnson, lVlary Hope, Ruth Bagwell, Denise Williams, Scott, and Daryl had an exciting and rewarding ministry, backed strongly by their wealth of talent. L REACHING OUT THROUGH MUSIC AND DRAMA Praise the Lord! His deeds are mighty! Under the leadership of team captain Roger Strunk, the reach-out team, Emmanuel, meaning God with us , realized the meaning of their name in a beautiful way. The five member team, composed of Roger Strunk, Liz Johnson, Frank Benline, Diana Shipman, and Tom Johnson, more than tripled their ranks as they were instrumental in leading sixteen new brothers and sisters to Christ. This more than speaks for itself of their powerful and exciting ministry. They shared Christ jubilantly in song and forcefully in word. Two original team members, Janice Burkey and Dave Aldis, were not able to com- plete the season, but the Lord provided wonderfully for all. Their 2,000 miles traveling through lllinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin were well spent! Q -

The pound of the ball and players' feet on the gym floor is heard. Still, there is another sound heard at the basketball games. It is a sound of in- volvement, of team spirit. The Pep Band is that sound! Bigger and better than ever was the band this year! Under the leadership of Jay Walden, the average attendance was around twenty- five members. A trip to Chicago produced some new music, such as Get lt On by Chase and 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. Tra- ditional tunes, such as Tiger Rag and the school song were also part of their repor- toire. The quality of their sound was proof that their practice was not in vain.
