Oldest Women's Club Strives to Reach High Aspirations "Hands Serving Christ" is the motto of the oldest women's club on campus. The thirty-four members of Chi Lambda Chi spent much of their time together in service to the community. The club's close interaction provided a spiritual unity and the "serving" attitude necessary to their activities. Working at Harding Academy's concession stands, spending time with the kids at Bald Knob Jaycees, and raising money to pay the phone bills for Contact were just a few of their endeavors to assist in community affairs. In addition to service projects, the girls enjoyed several social events. A fifty-two year tradition, the annual Christmas Supper highlighted the fall activities along with a surprise-date party to a haunted house, and a Polaroid Scavenger Hunt at Thanksgiving. Rounding out the fall semester was a Christmas party at Casa Bonita's. Laura Perrett, a junior member of Chi Lambda, was especially satisfied with her club because of its size. "I know that we're a small club , but it has enabled me to get to know all the girls in the club ... I can give attention to everyone. " Gail Young, also a junior, shared her sentiments: "You get to know everyone, not just a few in the club. " Laura believed that the closeness of the club, gave the frequent devotiona l s a s pecial significance, allowing an insight into the real personalities of every member. With high aspirations for several social activities and service projects, the members looked forward to another year in the tradition of Chi Lambda Chi. rw 1.
