President Sica reflected upon Beach Day (Wednesday, September 5) and the upcoming votes on the Constitution's amendments:

Yesterday, President Sica returned from the Atlantic Union Bible Conference at Camp Winnekeag. He commented today on the Bible Conference and his spiritual vision for Pine Tree Academy in addition to last Thursday's passage of the Constitutional Amendments:
"I am pleased to see that the Student Association recognized the need to pass the desperately needed amendments to the Student Association Constitution last Thursday. It is my duty to now enforce the will of the S.A. and see to it that the amendments are attached to the Constitution. A copy will be inserted into the S.A. minutes for archival purposes and a copy will also be given to Student Association Sponsors Emeriti who have requested copies.
"I also wish to brief the Association on the Bible Conference's focus on prayer and what I have directed A.J. Norzow, Chairman of the Spiritual Activities Committee, to accomplish for the student body.
"In the Bible Conference, we were directed to have a personal prayer life with God, to be a light to our peers at school, and to share with our schools the valuable lessons learned. I was inspired to make these truths accessible to Pine Tree Academy's students. I have encouraged the Spiritual Activities Committee to address the ways in which this goal can be accomplished, possibly giving a series of talks during some of the vespers services being scheduled."

President Sica commented on today's Student Association Executive Committee Meeting:
"My fellow students, today's meeting addressed the issues of entertainment at the Winter Banquet. It was resolved that we should have a game of dradle and chocolate coins, having Christmas music in the background, putting on a karaoke contest, and more. We hope that you will come to the Winter Banquet this December 2."
