Club Round-Up, an event that informed students of the numerous clubs and organizations available to them, was held on Thursday, Sept. 1.

John Spranza, the director of student life, is passionate about getting students involved because, “College is so much more than going to class and going home.”

His mantra states that it does not matter what thing you are a part of as long as you are a part of something.

Clubs represented at the round-up included diverse organizations such as Black Awareness Society, Baptist Student Union, and Vegetarian Club.

“There had to have been two hundred people there, but maybe more,” said Jannah Corn, a nursing major from Cedartown, about the 11 a.m. event’s turnout.

Students learn about the various clubs that Georgia Highlands College offers while making their own sandwiches during Club Round-Up. The entertainment, a comedian/musician bearing simply the name Christopher, began his show at 12:15 p.m. Christopher’s performance kept the audience’s attention with his need for volunteers.

The food and entertainer did not detract from the purpose of the Round-Up, however.

Tables were set up so that each club station had an element necessary to make a respectable sandwich.

There were many clubs that received a notable response, but the one that really stole the show was certainly the new and currently provisionary Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). It is an organization that promotes the culture, lifestyles, and arts of Renaissance times.

A SCA member, Amanda Worthington, sported wench-like fifteenth century dress while she displayed artifacts and recreations of genuine Renaissance gear which wowed onlookers.
