trained to work with them and worked to show them the dimension to life which many of the delinquents had perhaps lost in their raising. In addition, the club held a lectureship in the spring for women on campus. The lectureship featured only women lecturers (many of whom were students) who discussed topics of interest especially to women. In addition, members of JOY helped at the Sunshine School. The Sunshine School was a school especially for handicapped children and young adults and JOY gave a helping hand in teaching and moral guidance. Action was a by word for the Bicycle club which entered into its second year as a society for bike enthusiasts. Because cycling is safer when done in groups, the club formed to prepare members for races and to keep them in shape. During the fall, the members, which peaked at 16 in number, participated in the vigorous Bison Stampede. They also participated in the Searcy Fall Classic which was comprised of a 75-mile road race, a lOY2-mile mountain time trawl, and another SO-mile road race. During the spring the Bicycle club participated in the U.S. Cycling Federation's Fayetteville Spring Classic which decided the Arkansas trawl champions. This event was the thrust of the group's preparation during the spring for which they spent a great deal of time in tests of endurance and speed. Time of Day, a traditional feature of Harding, has changed with the times. This threeman group is funded by the Admissions Office, and its purfose was to represent, as wel as promote interest in Harding among prospective students and Christian young people. The members of the group received a full scholarship. They earned this free ride by being a part of an extremely time consuming group. They travelled three weekends out of every month on three to four day tours, often missing their Thursday, Friday, and Monday classes. Occasionally, there were mid-week performances. When they missed so much class, they had to work that much harder to keep up. This year's group consisted of: Brad Carter, playing lead guitar, banjo, · and some keyboard; Lorin Bristow, mainly on keyboard, some guitar, and bass; and Marty Davis who primarily on the bass, and played some guitar. Each member was featured individually. The group also blended with the traditional Time of Day vocal harmony. Brad Carter expressed his opinion on the revision of the group, "Today's young audiences demand more versatility from a musician than ever before, so we have expanded our repertoire to please the modern musical taste:' The group's addition of drums naturally added excitement, as well as a new direction. They were more modernized, electronic, and more versatile. The new synthesizer sound enabled them to duplicate most sons on the radio. Time of Day has "changed with the times:' Patrick Garn.er, sponsor of the Forensics team, said "the most obvious purpose is to compete well." The members learned public speaking skills that enabled them to compete against top schools. The Forensics team competed in such categories as debate, interpretation, prose, poetry, impromptu, informative and persuasive. Members also had the chance to travel. During the fall semester they competed in four different states and during the spring semester planned to go as far north as Lacrosse, Wisconsin and as far south as Baton Rouge, Louisiana. <ff> JOY JOY.
