ta. tif 5, es. - digs! The Junior Class won the Fall Picnic this year held October I4 on the SVA ball field. lnspite of the unpicnic-like weather, enthusiasm ran high as the classes competed in such chal- lenging events as: The water balloon toss, the chocolate cream pie eating contest, the truck push, and the egg toss. The iunior class with all their superior manpower chalked up a total of 60 points. The senior class with all their superior women power came in second with 5I points and had a last laugh on the iuniors by letting go of the rope during the tug- of-war and letting them bite the dust. Our largest class, the freshmen, were third with 38 points, and the sophomores ended up with 32 points. By the time the events ended, no one objected to eating a picnic meal in the warm cafeteria where there was no blowing sand to season the food.

Our Heavenly Zzfhcr . . . What is ff: kmlly like? Learning more about how to live the Christian life is an important part of school life. This year Elder Rob Sheppard, religion teacher from Southwestern Adventist College, was the speaker for our fall week of prayer. His down-to-earth messages were easy to listen to and made the Christian life easier to understand and more desirable to live. One of the highlights of the week was the traditional Agape Feast and communion service held on Friday night. lt is a very special time when students and staff share their testimonies about their love for God and draw closer to each other. The uppclassmen set up the gym with the table in the form of a cross and decorated with candles and huge platters of fruit. Bread was served in round loaves so you could break off a piece and share with a friend. After a short message and the meal everyone participated in the symbols of the wine and bread with the foot washing service. The underclassmen were given the privilege of cleaning up the gym after the service. Always ready for a good game, Elder Sheppard joined the students for recreation in the gym before the evening meeting. Friday evening before the Agape Feast and communion service.
