GRACE COLLEGE SEMINARY WINONA LAKE, INDIANA Published by the CLASS OF 1956 GEORGE TRIANDIFLOU AL STEFFLER KENNETH RUSSELL Editor Layout Artist Photographer BROOKS DAWSON RON HENRY Business Manager Assist. Layout Artist DEDICATION Dorothy Magnuson Office Secretary In recognition of her faithfulness in discharging her many duties assisting the students in every way possible, with genuine enjoyment of her unfailing sense of humor, and with real Ch ristian love, we, the Middlers, dedicate the 1955 GRACE to the secretary of Grace Theological Seminary and College, Miss Dorothy Magnuson. In 1947 Miss Magnuson left a job in California to come to Grace Seminary as a student. After a year as a student, she took over the duties of secretary to the president, Dr. McClain. The scope of her duties and activities has grown with the school until now she serves not only as secretary to every faculty member, but also as friend to each student who has a problem, a need, a joke to tell, or a cause for rejoicing. With appreciation for all her life m eans to the students and to the school, we wish to honor Miss Magnuson with this Dedication. In the name chosen for our school by its founders, we have what one great scholar has called almost a syn- onym for “Christianity” itself. Yet the history of the Church shows that it is not at all unusual for men to cling tenaciously to Christian terms long after their original content has been either lost or abandoned. “Grace” has been defined as the unmerited favor of God; and it is all of this. But there is something more; Grace is not only unmerited divine favor; it is favor ex- tended to those who deserve judg- ment and the wrath of God. Grace is an attitude of God which proceeds wholly from within Himself, condi- tioned in no way by anything in us. We must therefore never forget — whether students or teachers — that by God’s grace in Christ we are saved, and stand, and grow, and are built up, and are made strong; and find free- dom from sin’s dominion, and a prac- tical motive for obedience to the will of God, and an enabling power for righteousness, and recovery when we fall, and assurance as to the outcome of our salvation. In fact, all that we are and do as Christians has become ours by nothing else than by this Grace of God. The future pathway of this school must be—“Continue in the Grace of God.” Any other course is the road to failure and disaster. —Alva J. McClain OUR PRESIDENT SPEAKS ALVA J.

Year Book Photographer Kenneth Russell FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK This year’s annual has been designed with the purpose of presenting a realistic picture of all activities in Grace College and Grace Theological Seminary during the past year. In my two years here at Grace, I have observed that this institution is making it possible for its students to develop their whole personalities. The training here reaches the spiritual, the intellectual, the social, and the phys- ical needs of the students. I trust this will become apparent to all who read this year book and catch a glimpse of what has taken place at Grace during the Fall, Winter, and Spring seasons of the past school year. In Luke 2:52 we read that “Jesus increased in wisdom, and stature, and in favor with God and man.” It is the desire of the staff that as you view this year’s annual, what Luke has said concerning our Lord you may say of our student body, at least in some degree. I sincerely hope that we all might “increase in wisdom, and stature, and favor with God and man” which is the aim and purpose of the entire faculty and staff of Grace Col- lege and Grace Theological Seminary. 12 WE ARE GLAD THESE STUDENTS MADE IT BACK Where’s Your Tux, Dick? Having Trouble? Quiz Kids FALL RETREAT AND FACULTY RECEPTION That first week in school, it’s “Long time no see, Brother!” and followed by, “This.is Mrs... .” Then armed with babies’ bottles and a summer’s tan, everybody gives a rain check on studies that first Friday and relaxes at Oakwood Park, Lake Wawasee. Enroute, Librarian Hamilton files his front tire in the trunk, and Bob Earley leaps for an answer to a teachers- versus-students quiz game. Says the faculty in blue suits and heels and hose, “We’re glad you’ve come. Here, have another piece of cake.” 13 Meet King Bobo FRESHMAN INITIATION Ignoring the dignity of the tenderfoot Noone: class of ’58, Sophomores rule the roost. If 2 peoreerr -. .. you are a Frosh, you can don your beanie, rare ee bow in obeisance at your superior’s slight- est whim, and tailor your junk continu- ously so it doesn’t wear holes in your repu- tation. Kissing King Bobo’s toe ends initi- ation week, and you are paroled on good behavior. Some fun. Wait ’til next year! Studies Come First It Really Wasn’t This Bad Freshman Queens Horrors It Should Be Clean Now 15 16 Student Council Prexy Opens Meeting THIS YEAR’S STUDENT COUNCIL Last Fall, when school spirits were high, the treasury was low. But Na- than Meyer, Student Council prexy, had an idea. Putting his thirteen- member Council machinery into gear, President Meyer proposed that we of the student body investigate our pockets and put muscle into prayers. For a month, once-a-week good-will offerings piled up one thousand and sixty-six dollars. The faculty was pleased. Besides this, the Council warmed up to athletics, and laid a substantial financial foundation for an action-packed year. In the wake of the Council’s “full steam ahead,” Don Hocking, social chairman, launched pep rallies, school courtesy skits, and profitable picture programs. His bi-monthly student assemblies will never be forgotten.

Beginning with Trustee, Dr. W. A. Ogden’s convocation address; four-career-man, Dr. Walter Wilson, Kan- sas City, graced the Fall evangelistic services with warm counsel and ser- mons. Following this, booming basso, Dr. Herbert Lockyer, Litt. D, FRGS, adorned his doctrines with an English air, and precisely divided the Word of Truth. Gerald Smeltzer gave us an armchair trip to Palestine with super slides and running commentary. Mr. Smeltzer Takes Us To Palestine Dr. Ogden In Convocation Service - We Do Study At Grace Mrs. Byers, The Student’s Best Friend Plenty of study prepares minds for exams, and appetites for Mrs. Byers’ “personality pies.” They’re styled for breakfast, lunch, or supper—only fifteen cents a slice! Proof Positive fp Si sins sess Is It That Bad, Bill? It Seems to Me 19 PRACTICAL WORKS Armed with Bibles and tracts, students reserve week ends for Practical Work, and go from churches to charities with the message of hope. Whether filling a pulpit, supplying music in a church service, or testifying on a street corner, they consider no job too small to reach people and urge them to respond to the claims of Christ.

Although their meeting is held only once a month, well-planned programs by President Irene Gallagher, bring games and timely topics for the ladies. World Missions Fellowship spans the globe every Tuesday evening, with special missionary speakers booked by Norman Rohrer, and a prayertime after- math. You lunch and learn in Stu- dent Pastors’ Fellowship, head- ed by Fred Hall. There’s no end of problems even in student pas- World torates, but with the stimulus of Missions kindred minds, there’s always a eID solution somewhere.

On the east hill of Winona Lake, stands reposing Grace Theological Seminary, monument to the strength of unity and faith of a Brotherhood. The night passes, and sunrise rims the Kast. Students answer alarm clocks, pack their bags for home, and hurry to school. One last chapel program before Christmas vacation, packed with seasonal songs is dismissed, and the class- rooms are empty. When they are full again, a new year has begun, and Spring is soon to make her debut. 28 ON A NIGHT OF SNOW Here the woodland edge begins, Its boundaries marked With diamond pins; And here the snow has played a joke On the maple and the oak.... Turned them all to silver birches; Steepled the pines And firs like churches, And bent the bushes all one way, Like white-robed pilgrims knelt to pray. —Doyle All I Want For Christmas a oe 29 Santa Greets Sitting Bull What She Feeds Me I Will Swallow Santa came early, and traded his toys C H R i S T Mi AS for hot chocolate and pie in the Warsaw park pavilion.

Charles Ashman launched the new term with an appeal for a worthy walk. President Mc- Clain left off writing his books for the occasion to introduce the speaker. HERALD books sold for twenty per cent discount, students, like the lad pictured, handkerchiefed their eyes and saw the new term in asleep. Jack Peter says, “Books for All” SE?

Missionary Jacob Kliev- er, with Pastors Kenneth Teague, Maynard Tittle, Willis Bishop, John Stoll, Lowell Hoyt, True Hunt, Mark Malles, and John Burns, said they were glad to be back. And when introduced by President Clyde Landrum, each scheduled speaker brought enlightening messages from the Word of God. Rev. Clyde Landrum, President of the Alumni Association Rev.

BASKETBALL-COMES-TO-GRACE “This intramural basketball’s okay,” the Grace dribblers told themselves last Spring, but the best ones weren’t satisfied, and began to pray and plan for something bigger. In the Fall Student Council chose versatile Dick Messner as coach, were labeled the “Ambassadors” by the student body, elected some cheerleaders, and began winning outside games against other Indiana, Michigan and Ohio schools and independent teams. While Center, Forrest Jackson, scored highest with an average of 28 points a game, Eddie Smith’s pep band noised victories with a “One, two, ready, PLAY!”, and janitors swept up ticket stubs in the wake of an en- thusiastic student body. Total for the first seasons: 18 wins, 11 losses.

They beat the Philadelphia Bible Institute; Shelton College, New Jersey; and the Providence Barrington Bible College; then lost to the Nyack Bible Training Institute enroute home. Not a bad record.

Braunlin Received Honorary Doctor’s Degrees from Grace Theological Seminary (1954) Harold Wilbur Ranes bought his text books and prepared his notebook last Fall like every other student, but he was no ordinary scholar. Past accomplishments list an A.B. de- gree from Oakland City College, a M.S. degree in education from the University of Pennsylvania, a B.D. and a M.Th. from the Eastern Baptist Seminary. He is now at Grace Seminary, after twenty-five years in the pastorate, working for his doctor’s degree. “Tm rusty,” he told the Registrar before enrolling, “but I feel the need for more training for that which the Lord has called me to do.” He never sleeps past five-thirty in the morning, and keeps his schedule filled with devoted study. His experi- ence as board member with the Conservative Baptist For- eign Missions Society he shared often with the student World Missions Fellowship, where he was a faithful prayer warrior. ; His wife and children reside in Indianapolis, Indiana, whom he sees on weekends. After receiving his doctor’s degree, he plans to enter the field of education to teach Greek.
