Bo wen Plans Alumni Year

On behalf of the new Alumni of- ficers for 1967, I would like to extend greetings to all graduates and former students of Southern Missionary Col- lege. It is with a deep sense of re- sponsibility of serving as your newly elected officers that we assume our duties.

SMC has now become the fastest growing college in the denomination, thus the Alumni Association must give ever-increasing help to its college at this time of rapid expansion.

As we formulate plans for the com- ing year, there are three areas that will receive our special attention. They are:

(1) Up-dating Alumni records as to member activity, new degrees received, new members to fam- ilies, etc.

(2) Local chapter activities and or- ganization.

(3) Early plans for 1967 Alumni Homecoming.

Homecoming Draws Crowd

On Friday, November 4, registration took place in the Women's Residence Hall and the Collegedale Church.

Elder Kenneth A. Wright, former president of SMC, was the featured speaker for the Vesper Service at 7:30 p.m. The title of his sermon was "Am I My Brother's Keeper, or Am I My Brother's Brother." He used as his text Genesis 4:9 the story of Cain and Abel. He stated that one should be a brother to someone who

doesn't have a brother. The greatest thrill in the world is being of service to someone else. He related the story of the talents and how they were used. Everyone has at least one talent, and it is his responsibility to use it in the right manner. All God asks of us is to do our best with whatever we have. Man may be in active service for God while engaged in ordinary- everyday duties. The mother who is training her children for God is doing as great a job as the minister in the pulpit.

On Sabbath, November 5, Elder Don Holland, MV secretary of the Kentucky-Tennessee Conference, was the featured speaker for the Sabbath service. He spoke on "Atomic Power," using as his text, Isaiah 40: 26-29. One cannot look to other men for power. All are capable of doing the will of God, he didn't make us in-

Michigan Organizes Chapter

Members Elect Phillips President; Others Named

With sounds of "Howdy Y'all" former faculty members, students, and graduates of Southern Missionary Col- lege gathered on the campus of An- drews University for the first alumni gathering in Michigan and the sur- rounding states.

Under the leadership of Elder Jamile Jacobs, a graduate of the class of 1951 who is on leave from Pakistan, and former members of the class of 1946, a potluck supper was planned. William H. Taylor was with the alumni to show pictures of SMC and to help out in the formation of an alumni chapter in Ber- rien Springs and vicinity.

One hundred and fifty persons showed up to share old times and to renew old friendships. Everyone was given the opportunity to introduce him- self and to tell what class he graduated from and what he is presently doing. Among some of the former SMCites were members of Southern Junior Col- lege and one from the first graduating class of Southern Missionary College.

After the showing of pictures, of- ficers for this chapter were elected. Dr. Harold Phillips, class of 1951 who is now teaching at Andrews, was elected president. Elder E. C. Banks, a graduate of SJC who is now teaching in the seminary, was elected vice-presi- dent. For secretary-treasurer Phillip Wilson, class of 1966 and who is now in the Seminary, was elected. Bill Wood, class of 1966 and who is in the graduate school, was chosen publicity secretary.

After the election of officers Dr. Banks had a short worship talk. With sounds of "Collegedale forever, Col- legedale, we're true to you," the first alumni gathering closed. The new
