They elected four officers who served the needs of the members as well as working closely with director, Warren Casey. Laura Baker presided as president as Sue Birrell served as secretary. The quarter master was Thomas Cox and librarian was Allen Perkins. Concert Band was a musical outlet for those who participated. It gave those who were band members in high school the opportunity to pursue their musical endeavors. "It is a very musical experience with a lot of talented people.. .it is also very relaxing," stated Felicia Voyles, a third year member. Some of the performances included chapel presentations, tours and an annual outdoor concert on the steps of the Administration building in April. Concert Band was only offered during the spring semester. The band toured Tyler, Texas and Shreveport, Louisianna as their "band trip." They performed at high schools and various churches in those areas. AHEA, American Home Economics Association, was the club for those who chose to pursue a career in the field of home economics. To help out their members, the club conducted a panel discussion of seniors giving advice. In addition to the panel discussion, Terri Rhine came and spoke on "Careers in Home Economics:' The unity between the students and teachers could be seen when the teachers held a popcorn party, in which AHEA led the devotional. Unity again was displayed in February when AHEA had a Valentine's party for the teachers and secretaries. AHEA toured Mrs. Neale Pryor's house to view the remodeling that had taken place.

AHEA has also given me a better undestanding of what is involved in my particular field of home economics:' "Our mission is to bridge the gap on campus between those brothers and sisters that would not otherwise get acquainted;' stated senior Daron Cathey, member of Skotia. Skotia grew out of the observance of Black History Month. The group was originally the brainchild of Richard King, former professor of Bible, and a former student who felt that black culture and history was of significance and deserved greater recognition. Skotia worked closely with the "Celestial Singers" who carry on black musical traditions in song. Skotia sought to provide fellowship and social contact for blacks as well as whites. They had meals, parties and hayrides as well as devotionals which brought the club closer to each other and to the Lord. Skotia means "shaded" or "darknesss" in Greek.
