S.A.B. Movie Committee
The Student Activity Board
(or S.A.B.) has a twofold
purpose:
- To integrate the Christian faith and principles into planning
activities for the student body;
- To implement a variety of cocurricular activities which provide
social interaction, spiritual growth, and education for the student
body and to foster community within the student body.
I have been a part of S.A.B. since entering college as an Associate
Member helping out in the following committees : Coffeehouse,
Ministries, Movies, and Special Activities. While on these
committees, I assisted in the grunt work to make the activities
possible. My senior year, I became one of two Movie Committee
Executive. As an Executive, I selected, ordered, and presented
movies to the student body. In addition, I was responsible for
arranging room locations, notifying publicity about the upcoming
dates and times for each movie. A committee of around 25
students were under my leadership to collect money, stamp hands, and
run the projector. Once movies were shown, it was also my
responsibility to return the movies back to the rental company in a
timely manner.
During the 1997-98 school year, we showed 25 movies including
Contact, Men in Black, One Fine Day, Jackie
Chan’s First Strike, The Princess Bride, and A Time to
Kill. Some of our special engagements included an outdoor
movie (drive-in style) for Chain Reaction and a double feature
of Robin Hood's -- Men In Tights and Prince of Thieves.
In addition, we coordinated a few theme weekends with other
committees. For a skating weekend, Bonnie Blair spoke at a
lyceum, the Special Activities Committee held a Midnight Ice Skate,
and we showed The Cutting Edge. For our Minority Open
House, we cooperated with the Director of Minority Affairs and showed
Rosewood that weekend.
