The 55th Annual Bible Lectureship was held October 17-21. More than 2,000 guests heard lectures centered around the theme "How Great Thou Art." Family Day, complete with traditional barbecue, campus tours and foot­ ball game, concluded the Lectureship. The crowning of Queen Brenda Hounsel in a pep-rally ceremony opened Homecoming. Alumni and present students alike enjoyed the Bisons' victory over Southern Arkansas on Homecoming Day, November 4. The class of 1953 was the honor group. Other events of the weekend included the play "Brigadoon," the Black and Gold Alumni banquet and the Saturday morning parade.

By Alice Ann Kellar Mrs. Louise Nicholas Ganus, a 1942 graduate, received the Harding College Distinguished Alumnus award for 1978 at the BlacK and Gold banquet during Homecoming weekend. She is the seconq woman to receive the honor in the 20-year history of the award. Dr. Neale Pryor, Alumni Association' president, made the presentation. Citing Mrs. Ganus as "the one who made Strawberry, Arkansas famous," he read the plaque: "In recognition for her many years of service and devotion to Harding, for her commitment to Christian education, for her dedicated service and leadership to Associated Women for Harding, for her gracious service as Harding's first lady, and for exemplifying the ideals of Harding College, the Alumni Association p\esents this plaque November 3, 1978, to 'Louise Nicholas Ganus." The honoree came to Harding from Strawberry in 1938. She met Clifton Gan us the next fall a few minutes after he arrived on campus from New Orleans.
