LEADERS -vvork behind the scenes Anyone who ventured out of the dorm and onto campus was aware of a certain number of students whose names were synonymous with leadership, people assigned to tasks and committees to keep students aware of spiritual and social happenings . At the same time , there were those who worked in the wings , out of the spotlight, with diligence , without a title or an office or a nameplate, referred to as quiet leaders. Johnna Jones, a senior from Temple , Texas, has worked at His House, a benevolence ministry of the College Church of Christ , on Wednesday nights since her freshman year. Jones said a friend in her club encouraged her to go. "It 's a small job to do, but it 's so wonderful that just one hour a week can make such a big impact. " Nathan Randolph, a senior from anta Fe , N. M., was drifting in search of a church home. Nathan wanted to be involved and know he was making a difference. One of his friends told him that a church in Griffithville was losing its preacher, and asked if he would like to preach there. "I was overjoyed to get to preach," Randolph said. Clint Delaplane, a senior from Canyon Count1y, Calif., works with Harding's international students. His committee arranges various activities and transportation. "Many international students are getting involved. And it seems like giving people a ride to Wal-Mart isn't really significant, but now I see how important all the small things are. They really matter. " Quiet leadership - often unnoticed and therefore unappreciated - made a difference at Harding as servanthood became a way of life for those involved.
