________JL.indred Spirit Brings Unity 1'-ings Men & Oege rn his year the brother and sister clubs of King's Men a nd OEGE demonstrated great un i ty within their clubs by their many social and service activities. Both clubs were active in all sports , wi th King's Men's "A" team winning volleyball in the fall. King's Men started the year with a new slogan: "Dare to be Different. " "We prove that there can be unity in diversity," vice-president Michael Gravois said. King's Men's activities included a "Dare to be Different" and a "Mr . Roger's Neighborhood" mixer, a Halloween Monster Mash, a Christmas party, hayride, and devotionals with OEGE every other week. At the end of this year King's Men was sad to lose both of its sponsors , Ed White and D?vid Johnson . Gravois said, "We will miss our sponsors but look forward to what the future has in store for us." They adopted the World Bible School as their service project, and sponsored a mile-a-day walk-a-thon to raise money for Charles White, a missionary in France . OEGE also participated in a service activity by helping the Red Cross with its blood draw. They bandaged, labeled plasma bags, helped with registration, and manned the canteen. One member of the club commented, "This has been extremely rewarding to the members of OEGE." OEGE's fall activities included a hike and a picnic at Wyldewood, a retreat, an outing to Petit Jean mountain, an "oldfashioned" Christmas party, and a carnival on Cathcart roof. In the spring, the club held a Valentine's party and a retreat. There was more to OEGE than just social events, though. President Allison Starnes explained why she loved her club. "Our insignia, circles around the letters OEGE, stands for Unity in Friendship. And friendship is exactly what OEGE exemplifies. One of the things that makes OEGE so special is the fact that we have so much diversity in the club. In OEGE there is never a dull moment! We have a lot of fun together. One of our favorite activities (just ask any OEGEan) is eating . . 11h · Oege.
