The Church Couneil The Church Council is composed of two members chosen from each class and an ordained minister from the faculty. This year Stuart Sohner served as president, Ruth Domokos as secretary-treasurer, and Rev. John Ries as the faculty member. The duty of this council is to conduct weekly worship services for those students remaining at school over the weekends. Every Sunday an outside speaker brings the message imparting to us the Word of life, and once a month the Lord’s Supper is observed. Since there are no expences involved, the offerings are sent to different missions and to alumni of the college who are already on the mission field. This is one of the many ways in which the students can aid in furthering the work of our Lord while still in school preparing for His service. The Church Council was fortunate this year in being able to purchase a communion set and offering plates which were given to the school at a dedica- tion service. “And all that believed were together, and had all things common.” Acts 2:44.

With a “Wealth of Memories” to review, the first meeting of the Patrician Literary Society of 1947-48 made King’s more precious to the older students are more promising to the new ones. Important scenes in the life of the school from its founding in 1938 to its present act in 1947 formed the basis of our medi- tations. The drama of King’s, starting at Belmar, New Jersey, and continuing to the present, was a tale full of laughter, love, and song. The next meeting was built around the theme of “Light” with the induce: tion of new members as its central purpose. We welcomed these new members as helpful additions to the cast of characters in “Lit” and tried to encourage them in joining with us to plan programs. It is one of the aims of the Society to have each member participate. “Thanksgiving” was the next theme to be used, and our November meeting told us by tableau and song of the development of the idea of Thanksgiving. We are looking forward to more enjoyable times together as we all earnestly strive to uphold the aims of the Patrician Literary Society and the cultural and the social development of its members.
