l Happiness is someone who cares. To children from the West Main area, it is the college student that brings them to the campus to play ping pong, to the old, the deaf, the blind, and to the friendless dregs of the big city, it is a young person with a friendly smile. Members of OCC's interest groups often find that true happiness lies in helping others. Interest groups bring happiness to many Interest Groups were formed last year under the direction and encouragement of Dean of Women, Joan Wood. The groups were formed to perform community services in the Oklahoma City area. The groups work at old folks' homes, orphans' homes, schools for the blind, deaf, and retarded, in the Interest Groups: Diana Smith, co-chairman, Lindy Scobey, Glenna Neal, Dana Dennington, Randy Herschel, Suzanne England, Libby Johnson. Row 2: Sherry Cable, Linda Hogan, Carol Mercer, Janet Russell, Sheryl King. Row 3: West Main area, and in the iails and hospitals. Their reward is in the happiness they bring to others. Besides being helpful, the groups hope to bring people into favorable contact with the churches of Christ and to make their own lives rich- er and less self-centered.

Mission Study iourneys to Pepperdine California, Here I Come, was the Mission Study Club's theme song as they rolled along Route 66 toward California and Pepperdine's Mission Work- shop. However, this was not their entire year's work as they also attended an evangelistic forum, canvassed, and studied methods of evangelism. l Three busloads of OCC students traveled to Pepperdine College in Los Angeles, California, for the Seventh Annual Mlssion Workshop. Some 120 students listened to speakers is the key letter as their purpose includes the three l's : to inform, impart, and instill interest in the challenge of serving Christ. Their zeal for mission work is seen by their work with the Genesis- Exodus movement and Asian study groups. that included Marshall Keeble, Jim Reynolds, and OCC's Dean Howard Horton. The students missed three days of classes and gained a lifetime of spirituality. t - -f F ,, - 'W www.- ff'
