LET'S TALK. Taking a break from the day's activities, Christine Myers, sophomore, and Karen McCartney, sophomore, sat in the Hammon Student Center just to chat. At times friends actually had to schedule time to spend with each other. -Photo by Sharon Bowles. AlfHA rAU&GArA I t was a special year for Alpha Tau Epsilon and GATA. Members of Alpha Tau celebrated their 20th anniversary with a special gathering for alumni members. GATA celebrated the 50th anniversary of their club by holding a special Homecoming breakfast. Both Alpha Tau and GATA contain a variety of personalities and interests which make each club unique and diverse. Yet both clubs enjoyed the closeness which developed between members. "We are not as big as some clubs, but we like it that way. This helps everyone to stay ATE close to each other, as well as to our sister club, GATA," said Stephen Alexander, president of Alpha Tau. This bond was strengthened as they participated in weekly devotionals and enjoyed several cook-outs together. Club sports have become an activity in which both Alpha Tau and GATA were competitive. Alpha Tau won the big club "A" team softball in the spring of '88. Involvement in area service projects was also highlighted for these clubs. GATA held their annual Winter Fest, in which members collected money to send children to Camp Wyldewood. Alpha Tau collected cans and donated the proceeds to help raise money for the Sunshine School. Each club had a Spring Banquet, and Alpha Tau also had a spring cook-out. There they had an end-of-the-year slide show and the presentation of awards to various members and to the club queens. It was an exciting and beneficial year to the members of Alpha Tau and GATA. Their activities helped them grow closer to each other as they grew closer to God. -Savannah Morley Alpha Tau & GATA 219
