Interest in the Mechanical Engineering Society was revitalized in the Spring semester, after having suffered without a sponsor throughout the fall. Dr. Hartman, Divisional Chairman of Engineering, was designated as the new sponsor. The main purpose of the society is to unite those students who share a common interest in the field of Mechanical Engineering and acquaint them with the opportunities tehir professional careers may hold for them. Guest speakers from businesses and organizations such as the Missionary Tech Team were of special help in informing students about a few of the many potential fields available in today’s world of engineering. 146 MECHANICAL ENGINEERING SOCIETY Officers pictured L to R, Kneeling: John Rees — Vice Chairman, Randy Plants — Chairman, Richard Campbell — Secretary; Standing: Keith Leonhardt — Treasurer, Duane Platz — Chaplain.

AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY AWS Officers, Pictured L to R: Robert Krans — Secretary-Treasurer, Duane Miller — Chairman, Harry Saddock — Vice Chairman. AWS, boasting some one hundred members in the LeTourneau College chapter, brought several new additions to the college’s scope of special activities and programs. Their Careers in Welding program, sponsored by the alumni chdpter, included guest speakers in chapel as well as a special session in the evening. The coordination of a joint program with the LeTourneau College student chapter of the American Society of Nondestructive Testing also proved to be a rewarding program. The emphasis for the program was placed upon the topic of dye penetrants and magnetic particles. Sponsored by Mr. William Kielhorn, the AWS chapter strives for several major goals in their program. Their desire to stimulate an early professional consciousness among members is partially achieved in their endeavor to keep students informed of current developments in the welding field. More importantly, the society tries to develop a sense of unity and integration of business and professional life with the basic principles of Christian living.
