Alexander - Eustis, FL Stacey Ann Alexander - Searcy, AR Sophomore class leads student body T he 1989-90 sophomore class cranked out another year with enthusiasm and leadership. They launched off the school year with Student Impact. Through Impact, many sophomores interacted with the incoming freshmen and transfers. "I think sophomores are an intense group for Student Impact because only one year ago, they had been in their shoes, and now they want them to love Harding just as much as the sophomores do," said Andrea Benson. The class officers were put to work, but the load seemed lighter with all the volunteer help they received from their class. "We put an emphasis on getting those who didn't hold an office or have a title to work with us. Not only did that help us get closer to those who helped, but the jobs also got done with great results,' ' said sophomore class secretary Arlene Gibson. The majority of the work the officers did was related to the Student Association. Hours were spent with other class officers on the computers typing the telephone directory. The seemingly endMaria A.

Supporting the Bison football team with banners, balloons, and rally bags were other projects the sophomore class officers worked on. Hosting the Alumni Brunch on Homecoming weekend was another responsibility of the officers. This gave the officers the opportunity to meet and talk with those who had been, and still are, an important part of Harding; not to mention the opportunity to hear the amusing stories of "when they were here . . . " The officers weren't the only ones to work on projects. Many other sophomores jumped into community projects that made a difference to countless people. Mandy Ellis was one of those sophomores. She headed up the Arkansas Pediatric Facility's fun Day. Many people showed up to visit the children, the Pied Pipers performed, Time of Day played, and in short, it was a huge success. The smiles on the faces of those children proved that right. "It was really great to know that we can help and show those children that we love them," said Mandy Ellis. A second community project the sophomores took interest in was "His House," with Holly Sanders and Jim Hobby playing a large role in organizing fundraisers and influencing people to volunteer their time to work there. Reaching out to those in the community changed the lives of some who came in contact with "His House." This helped the needy to see a tangible part of God's power and influence on Christians who are willing to give a little time to help out. "It's really encouraging to see so many people wanting to help out at His House. Once you go and meet the needy people that some, they just love you so much that you can't help but go back," said Holly Sanders. The sophomore class proved to be one of motivation and enthusiasm. - Monica Chapman SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS.
