B.S.U. members worked diligently this year to raise money tor Summer Missions. Many cars were washed, old newspapers were collected, students served at the Church Li- brary Convention, and sandwich sales were held at the Center to raise money. All the year was not taken up by work, for the B.S.U. students also attended the Mid- winter Retreat, Missions Conference, a leader- ship training conference, and still had time to enter the ping pong tournament sponsored by the B.S.U. EI Antonio was the site of the annual Spring Banquet.
