Anderson One of the most outstanding groups on the campus is the Student Christian Associa- tion. Membership in S. C. A. is open to any student of Parsons College. The main purpose of the organization is to provide a means for expression of Christian ideals, to promote good fellowship, give experience in leadership, and to provide an opportunity for spiritual growth through new experiences in worship. S. C. A. started its activities early in the season by meeting trains and buses at the beginning of the fall semester in order to acquaint new students with the college and town. Other activities it promoted were the opening mixer party, Big and Little Sister Tea, a Hallowe'en Party, several chapel and vesper programs, Religious Emphasis Week, and the W. S. S. F. Drive. Under the sponsorship of S. C. A. deputation teams composed of students conducted worship services at small ohurches in this and neighboring counties. Regular meetings were held every second and fourth Tuesday nights in Ballard Lounge. Probably the most outstanding contribution of the S. C. A. to student life is the student center, The Hut, which is operated by the S. C. A. in co-operation with the college. OFFICERS Co-Presidents ..,... ...,......,.....,....

The Port was published weekly, and the staff learned the true meaning of the word deadline as they struggled to get their articles in on time. Al Bruce as Make-up Editor, plans the paper with the aid of Dick Van Zante. The Staff has for its workroom, the back room in Ewing Hall. The reporters meet there to discuss their stories or potential leads and to get advice or help from the editorial board. The Portfolio has a wide circulation. It goes to surrounding schools and college and to alumni and friends all over the country.
