A beauly duty. Ka Re Ta beau Greg Taylor, a junior from Bartlesville, OK, and junior Jill Smiley from Houston , TX, chuckle as they read their club box. - photo by Bill Tripp. The business of being a beau "I need to think of something profound to say," I thought as the club that elected me their new beau sang: "We Love You Greeeeg, Oh, Yes we do! " But when they finished I could only muster the word, "Wow!" And as the singing died down , and I was tackled and hugged, I began to think of more prophetic things to say like, "This is great! " and " I can' t believe it." The girls left, waving their arms back and forth like Indians who had just sacked their prey. I smiled, maybe even grinned, as all 65 girls tried to squeeze through the front door of Keller at the same time. I bolted to my room - there I would write thank you notes to every member of the club. One, two, three thank you notes . . .I decided to write one general note and put it in their club box, which I would soon realize was my club box , too. As I began the thank you note to put in their club box I began to worry - what do I do now? I'm a beau. What do beaux do? Just then my roommate walked in and we talked it over. He's a beau, too. "You just go to activities and support the club," he said. "Even ring ceremonies?" I retorted. "Even ring ceremonies," he echoed. "What about sports? Am I the coach or what?" I asked." "No," John said as he looked over my new club jersey, "You just make suggestions on who to put on teams, help with practice, and yell for them at games. Most of them are better at sports than you are anyway, Greg," my roommate joked. "Thanks for that, John" I said, and I finished the note to put in the box. My stroll to the Student Center to deposit the note was like a walk on cloud nine. I felt proud, but in the midst of it I thought of something new, and it has become the most important part of being a beau. Beaux could be leaders, and those opportunities came through giving devotionals in club meetings and on outings, and helping share in the fun that clubs brought to Harding. - Greg Taylor Laura Renee Thibodeaux - Cullman , AL Angela Renee Thomas - Terre Haute, IN David Manson Thomas - Columbia , TN David Michael Thomas - Arlington , TN Jacqueline Evon Thomas - Malvern, PA James Britt Thomas - Searcy, AR Lara Sue Thornton - Lancaster, CA Christy Allison Thrasher - Tulsa , OK Samantha Diane Tobey - Colleyville, TX Leigh Ann Traisci - New Fairfield, CT Lisa Gay Troutman - Hot Springs , AR Loiuse Rae Tucker - Meridianville, AL Phillip Burch Tucker - Greenbrier, TN Alan Darnen Turner - Burton, Ml Yolanda Suzette Usry - Augusta , GA Craig A.
