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.

The Ministerial Association One night late in the spring of 1946, after a men’s prayer meeting above the old chapel, several fellows were thinking of organizing a new club on the campus. After some discussion, problems arose and the matter had to be laid aside for the time being. It was not until the beginning of the school year in October, 1946, when a group of about thirty fellows met together, that the Ministerial Association of the King’s College was really organized. Meetings were held nearly every month and a constitution was adopted. This year our organization got off to a slow start because of the heavy schedule of student activities. Action increased steadily in the second semester, however, and interest became keen as the curtain rolled down on the second scene. Have you been wondering just what the purpose of this organization is? Our purpose is to acquaint those King’s men who are preparing for service for their Lord, with the general problems of the Christian ministry. Outside speakers, most of whom are successful pastors, are brought in to speak on general church problems and also related problems with which they are fa- miliar. Our aim is to help develop better ministers for better service to our Lord and Saviour.
