The men of LeTourneau are not the only ones with decorative ingenuity. Each year, at the end of the first semester, the co-eds ‘‘show off”’ their dorm and separate rooms. Because it was near Christmas time they not only cleaned and scrubbed, they also decorated the lounge and halls in the traditional Christmas fashion. Cake, candy, and big smiles made the evening enjoyable for both the women and their visitors. Students made themselves right at home in Ruth Mclntosh’s room during the Women’s Residence Hall Open House.

Once again the five societies of LeTourneau campus opened their doors to the public for one evening. The unique societies AO, DS, KZX, LAS, and TKD arranged and designed their rooms to suit their individual tastes. Also, the society offers a feeling of closeness and unity among the men who share in the ‘‘house”’ life. Open House acquainted students with society living and activities so that they may become interested in joining a society, and, at the same time, provided members with an opportunity to view prospective pledges. Open House was held at the beginning of each semester. Deb Fulghum relaxed in Joel Dingeldein's room, which was a perfect example of ‘Techo”’ creative ingenuity found in all the societies. Members, John Lee and Ken Petersen were aided at the refreshment table by Susan Larry Lunsford ‘‘checked up”’ on Linda Russell Lee and Jan Johnson. and B. J. Werner as they manned the guest book.

FALL RETREAT The students looked forward to getting out of their classes and leaving the campus behind for a weekend of fun and spiritual renewal in Ringgold, Louisiana. Stan Watne and his staff of Deb Mayo, Lisa Still, Dave Gorrell, Phil Ingram, Lance Behymer, Phil Yorgey and Ruth Hartshorn, planned a full weekend of activities: faculty and staff led Bible studies, recreation, skits, a movie, the inevitable Fruit Basket Turnover and KP duty. Chefs John Stuber, Art Salatin, Steve Adell, Andy Cowles, Jeff Kleinbeck, Dave Benson, the Comptons and the Clarks planned and prepared delicious food under the direction of Ralph Gilbert. They managed to satisfy the bottomless appetites of the Retreaters. Jim Sjernstrom spoke each day of retreat giving a balanced, down-to-earth message emphasizing the practical aspects of the Christian life. The bonfire Saturday night furnished a focal point for the weekend as the students sang songs and shared the Lord’s blessing and working in their lives. By four o’clock Sunday afternoon, 220 tired but refreshed students returned to campus.
