"I go for the thrill of discovery we never know what we are Exploring the farthest reaches of the dark unknown was the favorite past time for members of the Central Arkansas Student Grotto. Nicknamed "Spelunkers ," the group explored caverns in Arkansas and Missouri while using the adventures as learning experiences . The "Underground Lab ," a privately-owned cavern used as a laboratory by an environmentalist in Protem , Missouri , wa"S one of the more didactic places visited by the club . Touring the cave from a scientific approach provided the Grotto members with the solution to unanswered questions . CenArk chairman Van McCalister described the trip as the "most outstanding thing the club did" during the fall. The more adventurous activities of the group were verstudent nurses asso~iati"o,"n,,--,_~,,- going to find." - Reggie Garrett (spelunkers) tical descents and ascents . CenArk's first vertical trip of the year was into the dark abyss of "Danger Kill / Paula's Pit ," a crevice of unknown depth in the cave of Arnold Hollow. Another trip took , what McCalister called , " the best trained vertical team CenArk has ever had ," to one of Arkansas' deepest pits measuring 150 to 170 feet. Some have said there were only two times nursing students could be seen : helping the Red Cross during the blood draw in the fall and helping the Red Cross during the blood draw in the spring . Although that was not entirely true of the ladies and men in uniform who make up the Harding Student Nurses Association , they were very busy . The student nurses were given many opportunities , as one student described it , "to creatively use their talents and nursing knowledge to benefit the school , the community , and - in certain ways - the world ." One of the first such opportunities for involvement for the 55-member organization . came in October at the state convention for the Arkansas State Nursing Students Association in Hot Springs. Three members of liSNA were elected to state offices at the convention . Many of the HSNA activities were service-oriented . Cooperating with the Kiwanis Club , the members held a funds drive for hypertension research and treatment. Also , for the second year , the "Marriage Game" (a take-off of the "Newlywed Game" featuring faculty couples) was conducted to proVide money for the Nigerian Christian Hospital. 1.
