Ordinarily calm and cool Committee Chairman Carla ICoos is completely caught up in the spin of last minute details and arrangements for tomorrow s program, Although she has announced that directions to and identification of the banquet's location will be posted on the main bulletin board tomorrow afternoon, Carla cannot be bullied, bribed or "sweet talked into revealing the traditionally secret theme (her roommate has tried all of these methods to no avail), which will be known to curious Covenanters only at the time of their arrival at the banquet. Excitement in the women's dorm will grow from a busy chatter tonight to a noisily frantic clamor Saturday morning as the girls prepare for the biggest and most elaborate social event of the year, AFTER THE BANQUET IS OVER...

ABOUT THOSE BLUE CARDS.,, There seems to be a misunderstanding as to the purpose and use of the library's reserve book system. When anyone uses a reserve book or books in the library, it is necessary that we know w ho has which books, Therefore each blue card must be signed w i t h the person's name, date, and time, and deposited in the orange b o x. Reserve books taken out over night must be signed the same way. Much unnecessary time and inconvenience is caused everyone when the library staff must search for the books merely because the cards have not been signed out and left in the box Earlier this y e a r a notice appeared in the BAGPIPE to the effect that anyone who fails to sign the blue reserve cards and leave them in the orange box will be fined 25c for each b o o k not signed out. We are sorry that such a notice as this is necessary. We do thank everyone for helping to make the library a more efficient place of study by following the procedures which have been mentioned. SPORTS SECTION ATHLETIC BANQUET N E X T FRIDAY In place of the regularly scheduled dinner on Friday, March 12, will be the annual Athletic Banquet Htld in the dining hall at 5:45 p.m the brief accompanying program will include the presentation of athletic letters and a short address by Mr. Nick Senter, director of the Memorial Community Center. Mr. Senter is responsible for obtaining the facilities of the Lookout Mountain Elementary School Gym for the College's basketball games this year.

4 COVENANT MAKES SHOWING AT LOCAL BB TOURNEY Last Saturday, February 27, several members of the student body accompanied the Covenant Scots (via rented bus) on a 200 mile trip to Immanuel College's Invitational Basketball Tournament in Franklin Springs, Georgia. Other schools participating in the meet were A tlanta Christian and Toccoa Falls, In their first game, against Immanuel, the Scots started well but began to loose steam due to lack of confidence, according to some reports. The final score was Immanuel 83, Covenant 62. The Scots rebounded marvelously during the second game. Playing almost flawless ball, they led Atlanta Christian by 17 points at the half and beat them 98-58, assuring the Scots of at least the third place position. The Tourney ended with Immanuel in first place, Toccoa Falls second, Covenant third and Atlanta Christian trailing fourth. Named as outstanding player of the Tou r n a ment was Covenanter Ron Lloyd, who scored a total of 51 points in the two games and hauled in 38 rebounds.

5 his college basketball career with a terrific 23 points. Everyone will miss the "Bulldog" next year ~ thanks for the great ball playing you have given Covenant these past four years, Larry!! Coach Anderson has already lined up twenty-two games for next fall, and all but four have been verified. The staff of The BAGPIPE anxiously awaits the starting whistle of the first game next season as our Scots will emerge stronger than ever! J, Barnes FACULTY PLAYERS MARK BELZ Mark Belz comes from Corny, Iowa (really Walker) We tip our hat to h i m for the accomplishment of haying been one of the rare Student Body Presidents who held that office in his Junior year, Mark considers the ralization of his need to think clearly as the greatest contribution which Covenant has made to him during the past four years. He feels that this challenge has been conveyed to him primarily through philosophy, his major field of study. In another turn-about for good fun, the Covenant faculty xjill present a program of various types of entertainment for the benefit of any interested students. The "show" is scheduled for Saturday, M arch 13 at 8 p.m, SENIOR PORTRAITS ' ' In observance of a time honored tradition (that is now two years old), the BAGPIPE will be presenting each of this year' s June graduates in regard to their evaluations of Covenant life, future plans, etc. We hope you will enjoy our "Senior Portraits * * * He.summarizes the major conflict of his- student life as finding what is the most effective and necessary area of service for him in the Lord s work, Mark has been toying with the possibility of going into some level of politics but of course that is only a very remote possibility at present, His most Immediate plan after graduation is, naturally, his marriage to Linda Cole on July 10, Next to this important event is scheduled a year at Cono Center, Iowa, managing the Press, while more distant plans will probably include graduate work In philosophy. Having acknowledged how much Covenant has contributed to M a r k s

6 life, we must recognize that, in turn, Mark has given himself to the life of Covenant during these past four years. The most significant way may be the fact that he was pianist of a Gospel Team which travelled about 22,000 miles at the end of his Freshman year. His graduation is a gain to the school, a loss to us, his fellow students, but an asset to whatever area of service in which he becomes involved, DAVE BRAGDON David Bragdon - latest home: Wilmington, Delaware, (David is one of these P.K.'s used to a lot of traveling, including South America) Dave has b e e n in almost every conceivable extra-curricular activity at Covenant, from soccer to Chris-' tian Service Council, fulfilling a different office each year. Dave is a math major who considers that Covenant has certainly been greatly beneficial to h i m academically, but especially in the realm of philosophy wh i c h was new and extremely interesting to him. He feels, however, that the most valuable things which Covenant has given h i m were getting a Christian attitude, enjoying fellowship, experiencing growth, finding out how other Christians think and discovering Christian ideas. This may be summed up in finding reality and depth in a Chris- tianity which had been previously only part of his environment and childhood. He has discovered a great challenge from seeing that not only were older people Christians, but that students his own age loved the Lord The main conflict in his life, he honestly admits, is in the area of disciplining himself the realization of the necessity and of the progress to be accomplished in this area. His future plans revolve around further studies in mathematics as he would like to use his ability in this field for the Lord's service. D.
