SHORTER CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Mary Ssi Janet Gillos . jEVflAuN The religious activities of Shorter center in the Shorter Christian Association. Though the entire student body is enrolled in the association, its work is directed by a group of students known as the cabinet. The presidents of the denominational groups are ex-officio members of the cabinet. S.C.A. sponsors a variety of activities, including the Daily Morning Watch, the Tuesday evening or Mid-Week Worship Service, Sunday Vespers, and Thought for the Day. In an effort to make religion practical, we endeavor to sponsor some form of social service, both at home and abroad. In the fall the Hallowe ' en Carnival proceeds are used to fill Thanksgiving baskets and to give other practical aid to needy families of Rome. The association contributes to the World Student Service Fund, the Foster Parents Plan and to work toward a world Christian community. Our specific purpose is for every Shorter girl to realize a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. In this task, we seek to understand Christ and to follow Him.
