ASSGCIATED STUDENT BODY Guided by Miss Eleanor Osborne, the Student Parlia- ment maintained LMC's tradition of efficient student government. The purpose of the A.S.B. is to unify the student body in the common motive of self-govern- ment, to stimulate the traditions of the college, and to strengthen co-operation among students, faculty, and administration. The year's projects included participation in the orientation program, promotion of Rat Week, bus trips to away football and basketball games, and a study of means by which to improve the academic atmosphere on campus. Under the leadership of Darrell Baker,A.S.B. Pres- ident, the student parliament has sought to lead the student body in maintaining a well-rounded scope of activities. They prepared and distributed a student directory which contained every student's name, ad- dress, and telephone number as well as information about each of the clubs and organizations on campus. Through its committees, the student body assisted in many varied ways to make the academic year a successful one. It made possible many types of social events and programs, without which the year would have been incomplete. Darrell Baker, President A.S.B. T. ,QQ A ski , if - , ' - V A -lvl., :Q 'V .

Perhaps one of the first things any student would tell you about what he learned at college is the fact that scholastic training plays at times a very minor role. Life demands far more than intellectual achievement, it demands social and spiritual maturity as well as the development of physical abilities.. These depend upon individual striving and achievement, and add much to the everyday enjoyment of life. New developments come through ever-broadening minds and lives. To the Lees- McRae College student, as to any other college student, the part that activities play in his college life is ex- tremely important, ACTIVITIES . . . Activities aid in the building of stronger personalities, higher ideals, and life-time friendships. When the student leaves his books,he turns to fellowship with the other students of the campus. He finds cooperation, competition, and devotion in the clubs and organizations on campus. The individual student benefits the club, while the club benefits the student. In both cases the student and the club have an opportunity to grow. Sullivanian President Pegge Kowalski talks with De- mosthenean President Clay Mauldin and Sullivanian sponsor Mrs. Shingleton. The Sullivanians and the Demostheneans co-sponsored the Christmas Dance.

ORDER OF THE TOWER One of the most outstanding service organizations at Lees-McRae College is the Order of the Tower. The pri- mary purpose of the Order of the Tower is to serve Lees- McRae and the administration in a leadership capacity and to promote the general welfare of the college. The members of the Club assist in orientation, serve as marshals for special programs and graduation, and serve as hosts for visiting groups and dignitaries. The last service rendered by each year's outgoing members is the direction of the Awards Night program. The annual Halloween Carnival, sponsored by the Order of the Tower, provides a money-making project for the Club as well as for other clubs on campus. The club promotes good relations in all areas and serves as an advisory body to the faculty.
