ALL NIGHT study sessions produce weird behavior and mid-day giggle sessions in the cafeteria between Holly Clark and Marvin Topp. Classes? Well it could mean a group of students taught together or the meeting of such a group. It could also mean a division of society, a grade or quality,. or a group of st udent s graduating together. In Jhis case, "Classes" is the division of student s by means of their semester hours (freshmen 0 to 27, sophomores 28-59, juniors 60 to 89, seniors 90 to 128). Although the Classes portion of a yearbook is the least favorite of the staff and one of rhe hardest to produce, it is one of the most significant sections. II is used for many years to come as a reference to Harding Alumni. Also, it gives everyone an opportunity to be in the yearbook. FealUres are included to focu s on Ihe qualities and significance of several exceptional people, places, and subjects. Along with the freshmen, sophomores , juniors, and seniors are the student s from the Graduate and Christian Communication Programs ' . There was an increase of 15 students entering full-time graduate work thi s year. Many of the 57 graduate students were pursuing the certification for elementary administ ration. The Christian Communications Program enrolled 20 students this fall to join with the 18 returning members from the 1979-80 class. This intensive two-year, noncredit program conducted by the Bible Department is separate from the regular academic program of the university. II is limited to students 21 years of age or older and is designed 10 prepare mature students for effective church work with a primary emphasis on preaching. Whatever else it may be, Classes is the convergence of the individuals that attend Harding University. - Susan R. Pryor, section editor 157 Classes Introduction
