SPRING BREAK IN THE SON
By Kelly Gamer
This spring break, thousands of
college students flocked to the
Florida beaches, including several
Montreat students who went with
the Inter Varsity.beach ministries.
The group, Sandy Austin, Gus
Beasley, Mike Henderson, Jeff
Hudson, Libby Martin, Lori
Raushenberger, Kathy Russell, Brian
Smith, and Todd Westra, was led by
Mr. Brad Daniel.
Some of the activities included
small family groups that all of the
students were in. The groups were
made up of students from all
different schools. They had Bible
studies and shared their thoughts
and feelings In these groups. The
Inter Varsity students travelled in
pairs and spent about two hours a
day witnessing on the beach to
groups of one to three people. They
spent their free time laying out,
shopping, and evangelizing.
Another aspect of the witnessing
was open air preaching. Hunter
Dockery would stand out on the
beach and begin speaking, while the
Inter Varsity group gathered around
to draw a crowd. The reactions
were varied. Many people listened,
but many yelled and made fun of
him, threw things, (frank beer in
front of him, and tried to draw the
crowd away.
Several of the students that went
to Fort Lauderdale commented on
how they felt before and after the
trip. Lori said, “I was scared at
first and after the first day I was
unsure of how this was affecting
the people. I couldn't see results.
Then I realized the sed was planted
even though I couldn't see the
results. I would go again.'
Kathy commented, 'I was
petrified. )t was so wild there. It
was like Sodom and Gomorrah.
After I started talking to people, it
was better. I learned alot about
obedience and to have compassion
for people, because the only thing
that separates us from them is the
grace of God:"
Mike's response was, “It was
awkward to approach people. I got
a varied response. Some told me to
go away, while others wanted to
listen. It was a growing experience
and we brought a challenge back
here for us to be better Christians."
Libby said, “I was excited but
then 1 got scared when I realized
how violent Fort Lauderdale was. I
learned how to let my faith show.
It was kind of hard, because I had
no experience with evangelism. 1
was really sad that all the good
looking guys were drunk.”
Jeff replied, "I was not as
surprised because I had been there
before. I expected it to be really
hard, but with the Lord's help it
was easy. I felt successful because
I was obedient to God. I learned
alot and the Lord gave me
compassion for lost people.
Because of this trip, I will be doing
this in Myrtle Beach all summer
with Inter Varsity. It is something
others should do next year."
Everyone seemed to agree it was
a very meaningful experience, and
they all learned alot. Inter Varsity
keeps in contact with those who
become Christians back at their
school and provides fellowship for
them while they are still at the
beach. If you want to know more
about beach ministry and are
Interested in participating, talk to
Mr. Daniel or any of the students
who spent their break in Fort
Lauderdale.

Do you remember what you were
doing way back at the first of March?
You know, SPRING BREAK! The time
of great fun and excitement, when
most of us were enjoying the beach,
visiting Disney World, witnessing at
Ft. Lauderdale, working at our jobs,
or just relaxing at home. During this
time away from Montreat two of our
students- Bill Haynes and James
Compton- were on the lower South
Carolina-Georgia border with about
fifteen other people digging up the
Savannah River's bank.
An archeological dig is not as
easy as I had just stated. The area of
interest has to be tested first. This
Is done by taking an area usually
about five-by-five miles and digging
samples from different parts of it.
From the number of artifacts that
are found a computer can estimate
the best probabable place for the dfg
to be located. Thus begins a long
process of carefully shoveling
through the ground.
The place where Bill and James
went to was found by accident. A
person was going down the Savannah
and happened to notice a white rock
layer in the bank. It was soon
discovered that this was a site
By a faculty member when he was
a sophomore in college- ^
And my steps were short,
1 found my way
On the artificial rock,
I crossed the street
To find my mind.
Though the street was wide
On the other side
I saw my mind.
A man was kicking it.
With a laugh upon his lips
His foot probed deep
And unlocked my secrets
Leaving me sick and worried
Because my thoughts were
shamelessly revealed.
I went to the man
And asked him to stop.
He looked at me strangely
And then laughed some more--
The man was me.
where local Indian tribes would make
spear heads and stone tools. This
type of rock place is known as a
chert quarry. This layer was the
chippings made from the makings of
points.
The major Indian tribe was the
Paleo Indians. They were a nomad
tribe that dates back to 8-10,000
years ago. This was an important
find since it could be the only place
where there is evidence of the Paleo
Indians in the Southeast.
This Dig was sponsored by the
State of South Carolina and The
Archeological Department at the
University of South Carolina. It is
hoped that a grant from the National
Geographic Society would be given,
and an article would be written.
The greatest finding over the
spring break period was that of a
burial pot. What was so amazing is
that it was not chipped or cracked
but In perfect condition. A CAT scan
will reveal what is inside since it is
crucial not to disturb the contents of
the 1400 year old finding.
Just think while most of us were
indulging in pleasures and luxuries
we could have been seeking,
discovering, and making history.
A POEM
By Chris Taylor
Nuclear power technology
Test-tube babies biology
Does anyone have the answer
For A poison that spreads like cancer?
Fear the mushroom of the skies
Beware of its deadly disguise
1 think 1 heard an explanation
Save the whales nuke the nations
Telling lies in A power play
No compromise of judgement day
White House of corruption
Red button of destruction
World turning hesitates
Skies burning of united mistakes
