Spring Sing Comeback Is Success Participation was the goa l and it was achieved. From Spring Si ng 1982 through Pledge Week activit ies and fall sports, King's Men and OEGE strived to have many members represented in club activ ities. Their efforts we re sue· cessf ull y realized. After a severa l-year absence from the annua l Sp ring Sing show, the clubs joined in a routine entit led "You Bite Up My life." They placed f ou rth in the overall competition and were honored with the awa rd fo r having the highest percentage of club members participating . King's Men and OEGE bega n the fall activities with enthusiasm carried over from the sp ring semester. The tradit iona l Rough N igh t activ ities were replaced by a picnic at Wyldewood. An obstacle course, a tug-of-wa r, and a frisbee contest were used to bring old and new members closer together in teamwork . The evening ended with King ' s Men awarding their new members a cert ificate and OEGE presented jerseys to its new members. Both clubs served at the blood draws held on campus in September, December and March. Additiona ll y, King's Men participated in a Littl e Buddy program. With a large number jOi ning eac h team, King's Men swept to the small club championship in fall softball and in football. Commenting on the changes in Pl edge Week, Lisa Keen, a jun ior in OEGE, sa id, " Doing away with Rough Night didn't hinder us f rom hav ing a fantastic time of fellowship, but it brought us closer together and closer to Chr ist. " Terry Heff ington, another OEGE jun ior who felt that the cl ubs were close, said, "Ki ng's Men and OEGE has been one of the things that has made my stay at Harding so great. My fri ends in the club w ill always be there for me; I' ll always have them in the years to come. " Summing up the year for King's Men and OEGE, senior Frank Weaver sa id, "Be ing .ou t of Spring Sing for awhile and then getting back in it was great.
