Gwenelle is getting worried about

April 20, Jane Ross, Your positive

Things are really humming around W. C. As one
no doubt can see by the numerous events mentioned in
this edition of THE COYOTE, it is not all just meeting
classes and getting lessons. We have really been enjoy-
ing the social side of our school life with such outstanding
annual events as the Spring Formal; and the presenta-
tion of annuals we are beginning to realize that it is near-
ly vacation time.
The next few weeks are going to be filled with work
and play and the storing up of many fond memories.
Here’s to you freshmen who still have another year at W.
C. to look forward to, including themes and book re-
ports, too. Here’s to you seniors who are making the most
out of the last few days we have here.

Religious Emphasis Week,
A Huge Success
Religious Emphasis Week, a week
during which religious activities
around W. C. are placed on top of
the list, came and went with great
success. Only with the help/of both
students and faculty could the week
have become entirely a part of each
person involved. So much a part
that we have each silently dedicated
to keep “Religious Emphasis Week”
alive in our hearts in the many
weeks to come.
Our week’s program began Mon-
day morning at 7:40 A. M. with the

Climaxing the ceremony,
In this time it takes the efforts of a great many, co-
ordinated to one cause, for success. Our cause was a col-
lege annual. All of us were well aware of the trying con-
ditions our nation, our state, our town, is forced to un-
dergo, but determination to have a record of this college
year and the fact you were for us, made it possible for us
to conquer the handicaps.

Since Thora invited Buford to the

countless phone calls from the Par-

I wish to express utmost thanks and gratitude to all

way in which they took part.
“They” made the forums interesting
and enjoyable. Thursday night end-
ed the open forums. We were pleas-
ed to note that each night the group
increased in size and on that last
night we were benefitted by being
large in number and eager toward
discussion.
Friday brought the climax to our
meetings together. At the morning
service the student body presented
to Bro. Ohman an appreciation gift
and we all think he will look very
nice in that white shirt and blue tie.
A small gift but it showed a small
part of our great appreciation of
him. Bro. Ohman’s message was the
highest peak of the entire week, for
it opened a way into a whole-heart-
ed dedication service and inspira-
tional testimonial by the students.
The prayer Retreat was open to
the convenience of each student.

Phi Theta Kappa’s
Have Initiation
The members of the Phi chapter
of the Phi Theta Kappa and the
pledges, Mary Nell Davis and Eve-
lyn Majors, gathered at the First
Methodist Church for the official
initiation ceremony.
The pledges, led by Dorothy Kear-
by, penetrated a circle consisting of
the regular Phi Theta Kappa mem-
bers, and by a series of formations,
made the Greek letters, Phi, Theta
and Kappa.
• The pledges, then, gathered
around a table behind which the
president, Marjorie Black, stood and
read from the Book of Proverbs
concerning wisdom. On each side
of the table stood Evohn Adkins and
Zela Brock, one holding a candle,
the other, a white rose. Each of
these objects was designated as sig-
nifying several- characteristics of
our regular classrooms, has been es-
tablished for the students, and will
be open to anyone for the rest of
the year.

yourself, helped to make this week
just what it was.
Together let us first thank God.
Let us thank him for being in our
presence constantly, for giving us
this wonderful privilege of worship-
ping Him, and for coming into our
hearts; thus making us more like
Himself. We can show our apprecia-
tion by carrying the message we
have received always in our hearts,
and telling others about Him.
I want to express my thanks to
Bro. Ohman for going along with
I us this week, in our following Je-
sus. I’m sure each of us love Bro.
Ohman in a greater way since he
has so earnestly been our leader for
these few days.
I say thanks to you, the members
of the Student Christian Associa-
tion for being so much a part of Re-
ligious Emphasis Week, for your
prayers, and your constant willing-
ness to help.
To Miss Burns, who is the spon-
sor of t heS. C. A., to Mrs. Childress
and Mary Nell, who kept our hearts
singing with those great hymns, and
to Dr. Sutton, who made this week
possible, I express my sincerest ap-
preciation. Without any one of you,
the success that we are now re-
jojicing in, could never have been
attained.
I thank God for each of you. I
love you and know that you have a
definite place in God’s world. Our
