' ' ' Our life and destiny , now and forever, depend upon what we do with the waiting Saviour knocking at our heart ' s door. Shutting Him out, we miss life ' s greatest opportunity; welcoming Him in, we have life abundant. Note that in the picture the light which gathers around the door takes the shape of a human heart. Every heart experiences the insistent knock of Christ which should arouse us to a profound consciousness of our need of Him and our inadequacy. Our life and destiny depend not only upon what we do with the waiting Saviour, but also upon what we do with the opportunities that are before us at Olivet Nazarene College. A great opportunity in the realm of Education with a Christian Purpose is knocking at your door and mine. We can avail ourselves of this op- portunity and enrich our lives spiritually, intellectually , and socially. It is our endeavor in the following pages to picture the doors of opportunity just as we have passed through them this year at Olivet. As you re-live these events, may the doors of opportunity open wide for you spirit- ually , intellectually , and socially. iiujtt .. V 3 , V m: V -«. Olivet Has Lost A True Friend One by one they slip away As shadows change to cloudless day. No more we hear his gladsome voice That made our very souls rejoice. The lips of clay forever sealed, The wounds of life forever healed; His prayer of faith no longer heard, No more he reads the Holy Word. He prayed no long entangled prayer, His simple faith knew Cod was there. He preached direct with burning zeal, The wounds of sin were made to heal. With a hearty wave of the upraised hand He left us for the Promised Land, For the mansions fair where Jesus dwells, And glory reigns no tongue can tell. By Grace Divine we ' ll follow on, The race of life you grandly won. In Heavenly triumph we shall rise, And meet again beyond the skies. J. F. Leist I i k r DR. GROVER VAN DUYN 3fn iHmnrtam Servant of God, well done! Rest from thy loved employ: The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master ' s joy. The pains of death are past, Labour and sorrow cease, And Life ' s long warfare closed at last, Thy soul is found in peace. —James Montgomery - EARLINE MARVIN She passed away, like morning dew Before the sun was high; So brief her time, she scarcely knew 1 he meaning of a sigh. As round the rose its soft perfume, Sweet love around her floated- Admired she grew-while mortal doom rcpt on, unf eared, unnoted. Love was her guardian Angel here But love to death resigned her; LlTi T k T d ' wby should ™ f« , But holy death is kinder? -Hartley Coleridge Page Seven BURKE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING houses our classrooms, library, chapel, laboratories and offices. g£%V ' fc t s 3 ?

The year ' s activities consisted of the improvement of recreational facilities such as the face-lifting job on The Wagon Wheel, the renovation of the Student Lounge, additional facilities made available in both places, and a magazine subscription campaign conducted to secure funds for these improvements. On the social side there were the Freshmen party, the Bar-b-cue, Christian film productions, Travelogues, the Tip-Off parade, the annual Christmas party, and two Lyceum programs featuring Mary Canberg, concert violinist, and the Don Cossack Chorus.

Spenc-er, H. Romeril, J. Barnell, R. Squires, S. Strickler. The doors of opportunity stand shut before every student. A few doors require only a hand for open- ing, others only a head. But those doors which lead to the greatest achievement and success can only be opened with the aid of hands, feet, head, and heart. Few people succeed in opening such doors, for it can only be accomplished through ingenuity, persistence, and patience. These Oli- vet students elected to Who ' s Who in American Universities and Colleges have exhibited these qualities as they have opened the difficult doors to a successful future. vJHARLES PAULEY Nowhere could we find a more enthusiastic project promoter than Charlie. He has been actively engaged in numerous organi- zations on our campus. A personification of meticulous attire, he is a true friend to his comrades. Uncle Sam has recently called him to prove himself in a new capacity, the Armed Forces of his country.

LEAH DILL DICK Leah Dell, a transfer student, has contributed a valuable service to her schoolmates during her brief stay at Olivet. Charm- ing master of all situations, she portrays an attitude of serenity and complaisance.

An example of high Christian standards and ideals, he has generously given of his time and talents in an all-out effort to fulfill the demands of his position. (il- ' .NK FULLER ■ Who ' s Who Coming to us from Alabama, Gene by his infectious smile and pleasing personality has won the hearts of Olivctians. He is in every respect a Christian gentleman. We have been inspired and stirred bv his dynamic spirit of evangelism expressed in sincerity and humility. % MARILYN STARR An imposing list of accomplishments is worthily accredited to Marilyn, our former editor of the Aurora. Her secret of success rests in her ability to perform her tasks in a systematic, exacting manner. Not oiic to be daunted by s eeming difficulties, she has overcome the many obstacles that have stood in her way in college. - T 4 -r v 1- ANITA RICHARDS Sweetness is her virtue describes Anita ' s most representa- tive trait. Her cheerful and willing spirit has placed her in positions of jjrcat responsibility. She is truly a Good Samaritan. We at Olivet shall never forget her characteristic giggle and the music of her violin. Who ' s Who HH ••■■ ' ■. ; ■BH3 H tifin In 1954 ■H 1 RICHARD I.DWARDS Rick has proved himself a dependable and trustworthy worker by many accomplishments on campus. In the winning of Fave he has proved the scriptural text, He that findeth a wife findeth a good thine. JACK JONES In Jack are combined penetrating business acumen, quick- wittedncss, and good sense. Thus equipped, he served his class as president for a period of three years. Following graduation, he plans to enter our Seminary to help in paving the way to a model pastorate. Who ' s Who PHYLLIS AicGRAW A versatile, industrious and talented leader on our campus is Phyl. Of diversified accomplishments, she has done many jobs well. Her musical achievements, high scholarship, and originality have contributed to Olivet life. DARRLLL HOLLAND Characterized by persistence and fluent speech, Darrell is destined to be a champion in his chosen field. He is a leader in his own right, possessing the innate ability of commandini cooperation from his co-laborers and friends. Who ' s Who AL WELLS Olivet is indeed the proud possessor of a true strategist in the personage of Al Wells, welj-knoivn for his suave appearance and his fluent volubility. A promoter of better citizenship on the campus, he is worthy of the honor and respect shown him by his fellow students. RUTH McCLAIN Ruth, the daughter of our registrar, is registered in our books as an outstanding vocalist and musician. She has an air of quiet self-confidence, which contributes to her efficiency. Who ' s Who te. H il RICARDO FERNANDEZ Un caballero muv agradable — Ricardio, our Cuban fricnu, ' has surmounted the language difficulty to become one of the outstanding leaders of our school. His veracity and spirit of good-will have endeared him to us. After he receives his decree, he will return to Cuba as a minister of the gospel. Class Officers 5 Tea And the company inspiring. SI5 .

A strange paradox indeed, according to the opinion of worldly minded men. They would take the attitude that college atmos- phere and revival atmosphere are two vastly different things— so different that they could not be harmonized under the same roof and in the same schedule. But we have found this idea to be a fallacy, especially in a college like Olivet whose motto is Education with a Christian Purpose. College Church has a two-fold purpose. First, to conduct a regular, normal church life for the families who attend here. As such we have a fully organized church program with an ever expanding interest in child and youth work. We feel a definite responsibility for the people of this community. We have a rich harvest field all about us. During the next few years, with the construction of a new church building which will give us an added appeal to the outside, we should garner many sheaves for the Master. The minis- try in music and word should become an ever increasing attraction to those all around us. Our second purpose is to minister to the lives of young people who are with us during some of the most significant years of their lives. These years of settling life ' s c all, selection of life ' s companion, and forming of life ' s philosophy are of tremendous importance. If we at College Church can assist young people in making right choices by bringing the presence of God in to their lives, then we will have accomplished a worth-while mission. While we have a dual purpose, we have but a single motive. That is, to bring people, through Jesus Christ, to walk with God. To this motive we dedicate the time, talent, and resources of College Church of the Nazarene. Pane One Hundred Twenty-four Fall Revival Rev. Miss Fairy Chism ushered Olivet students into the presence of the Lord in the fall revival October 18-25. Prof. Ronald Lush contributed much to the services through his trumpet playing and wonderful singing. A spiritual awakening was initiated, students discovered a new walk with God, and the Holy Spirit permeated campus life in a new and vital way. Miss Fairy Chism Qfc ' S ' 0 { , OM Spring Revival Dr. Hardy C. Powers and Professor Ray Moore were scheduled to be with us for our Spring Revival March 7-14. Because of the illness of Mrs. Powers, Dr. Powers was unable to fill the engagement. Dr. Harold W. Reed ' s Chapel lectures on the book of Acts and Rev. L. Guy Nees ' inspiring mes- sages served very well in the absence of Dr. Powers. Professor Moore ' s singing was Spirit-filled and inspirational. The stu- dent body took the change in preachers in their stride and kept boosting and praying until there was a real spiritual awakening on our campus. Page One Hundred Twenty-five Lectures By: During the week November 2-6, Dr. E. O. Chalfant gave the first series of lectures for this school year. These lectures dealt with the techniques and subject matter to be used in the preaching of holiness. His wit and wisdom were appreciated by all who attended the lectures, and helped each one to form a richer concept of hojiness. Dr. E. O. Chalfant The seventeenth annual series of lectures on First Things in the Ministry was presented by Dr. C. A. Gibson. He took the young ministers through the many first experiences of the ministry. He helped them to face practical problems realistically. From his long experience he gave valuable advice on how to cope with such prob- lems. Dr. Gibson is District Superintendent of the Wis- consin District. teso Rev, Everette Howard, who had formerly served as a missionary to the Cape Verde Islands, now District Super- intendent of the South west Mexican District, gave a series of chapel lectures November 19-22. In these lectures, some of which were illustrated with slides, he awakened in all those that heard him a new sense of devotion to the cause of missions. Rev.

Housed in Goodwin Hall on third floor, it has opened to many students a new world, for when a person has created or even enjoyed a work of art, does he not become more sensitive to all expressions of art, and so more alive to the world in which he lives ?

Soloists for the occasion were Marilyn Powell, Dorothy Clark, Gerald Greenlee, and the famed Bruce Foote. The choir, under the leadership of Dr. Walter B. Larsen, stirred the emo- tions of the capacity crowd.

Larsen, the Orpheus Choir, in its twenty-second concert season, surpassed its usual quality of work. The spirit- ual tenor of the group attained heights heretofore unreached. The director appeared to possess more than ever the ability to draw from his group that quality of musicianship and ensemble which is so necessary to good performance. The first appearance of the year was made early in the fall at the dedication service of the new church building of Chicago First Church. Two capacity audiences thrilled to the strains of the Messiah in the uplifting double performance rendered during the Christmas season. Periodic appearances in College Church, the annual ten-day tour (through Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan), the formal banquet in Chicago, and participation in the Commencement Day exercises completed an interesting and successful year in the organization ' s history.

In their second year as a campus organization, the Olivetians, under the very capable direction of Professor Daniel Liddell, thrilled all who heard them in their many appearances. The activities of the seventeen voice ensemble this year included a half-time program at Tip-Off, which was a tremendous success, an appearance before the Business Women ' s Professional Club, the opening of the official Christmas season in Kankakee, when they were sponsored by the Kankakee Historical Society in a full concert held in the Civic Auditorium, programs in chapel and Sunday music at the College Church. Their weekend tours took them to such places ' as Rockford, Illinois, and Oskaloosa, Iowa. This year saw the acquisition of new uniforms, which the Olivetians proudly wear at their performances. For the most part the group has specialized in a secular type of music. Officers for the Olivetians are as follows: Wayne Gallup, President; Ruth McClain, Secretary-Treasurer; Phyllis McGraw, librarian and accompanist.

The fourteen-member ensemble is unique in that much of its repertoire is taken from the field of choral literature. Compositions originally intended for the human voice are thus given new power and distinctive timbre by the brass voices. The Aeolian Trio consists of an unusual but pleasing combination of the harp, violin, and tenor voice. The popularity of Gerald Newby, harpist, Miss Jewell Flaugher, violinist, and Daniel Liddell, tenor, has been evidenced ' by their frequent engagements in many localities.

This change included larger pages, more pictures, and a more adequate coverage of campus events and activities of students, professors, and administrative officers. The new style paper meant en- larged cost, but the business staff, which was enlarged and set up on a new basis, helped the editorial staff produce the improved Glimmerglass by providing addi- tional money from advertising, thus supplementing the increased cost of pro- duction.

Under the guidance of our new Director, Elmore Vail, interest in the physical education classes and the full sports program of the school has infected the entire student body. Coach Vail has stressed special con- ditioning activities such as calisthenics, indoor track, swimming, relays, and sports. For those interested in leader- ship in the field of athletics special instruction is given in methods of teaching and specific theories of the games. Under the leadership of Dave Miller, the men ' s intramural sports program took on a new enthusiasm and elicited more participation. Dave officiated at several of the B basketball games and was scorer for most of the A games. He deserves to be congratu- lated for his work. Under Gavl Baum ' s direction the girls have found a new interest in their field of sports. Her guidance has proved invaluable in their intramural activities as well as in her te aching of their gen- eral physical education classes. aac One Hundred Kincty-four Pane The Societies Left to Right: M.

V fg Women ' s 0 Club Jackie Spencer— President Following a very successful fall initiation, the 1953-54 Girls ' O Club settled back for a progressive year. The group initiated this fall numbered eight, and approx- imately one dozen green-horns will greet the famous paddle this September. Under the leadership of prexy Jackie Spencer, the year ' s events included a 42-21 triumph over the Alumni in Tip-Off, and top-flight assistance to the men in sponsoring the annual spring O Club Banquet. The co-eds ' Tip-Off basketball team was coached by Dean Willis E. Snowbarger and student Don Watson. Paye Tivo Hundred Two Men ' s 0 Club Charles McCullough— President An extensive program of activities marked the present year for the O Club of Olivet. Early in October, plans were made for the O Club- sponsored Tip-Off, which was celebrated for the eleventh year last November. Members then busied themselves planning one of the biggest socials of the year— the May O Club Banquet in which individual awards were to be presented with a guest speaker headlighting the program. Members are selected by the five-man athletic committee who thrice-yearly pick the all stars of the four major sports- football, softball, basketball, and baseball. Chuck McCullough was the successful 1953-54 prexy of the O Club, with Wendy Parsons, vice-president, and Don Watson, secretary. Page Two Hundred Three Left to Right: Standing: — P. Bassett, A.

Last year, the only vic- tories achieved by the Spartans were one over each society, and this caused the Indians and Trojans to play a champion- ship affair. The same was true this year as Harry Romeril ' s Greenclad gridmen won only two of six outings, defeating the Tro- jans, 6-0, and the Indians, 18-13. Also on the Spartan line with Romeril were Paul Bassett, the season ' s best line- man, Ron Lynch, and Elmo Wilson. In the backfield were Don Mathews, and Don Carpenter.

Thill, R. Reglin, A. Nielsen, D. Warner. Indian Football Injuries again jinxed the Indian foot- ball scene, as a seemingly sure cham- pionship was snatched from their grasp on two straight occasions. They won three of six contests. Having held the Trojans scoreless previously, they were on their way to a second straight scoreless deadlock, and with it the championship. However, they were scored upon on the final play of the game, and lost the playoff con- test, 6-0. Coach Bob Squires was a unanimous all-star choice on the line. Supporting him up front were Darrell Trotter, Bill Brown, Ray Reglin, Darwin Warner, and Bill Winegar. Standouts in the backfield included Freddy Fortune, Fred Richardson, Clarence Fukushima and Gene Phillips. Page Two Hundred Five Left to Right: Standing-—? Belt, G. Humble, M. Durbin, D. Cummings, L.

Trojan Football Although it took a playoff for the second straight year, the Trojans grid- ders again won the championship foot- ball crown, with four victories, two de- feats, and a tie. Losing their initial contest to the In- dians, they bitterly fought back into the championship fray— thanks to a last-play-of-the-game TD by Dean Cummings, who also was the star of the 6-0 championship affair. In addition to Cummings in the back- field, Coach Sonny Ewing, Smiley Cummings, and Lyle Schoenwetter were outstanding, while Don Williamson, Dave Boice, Tom Murray, Windy Kiz- zee, and Clint McLouth were standouts on the line.

The only undefeated team in Olivet ' s 1953-54 sports program was the Trojan softball nine, who swept to five straight victories, thanks mainly to the fine pitching of a junior, Jim Mitchell. Mitch hurled four of the victories, and freshman Jim Smith hurled a one- hitter against the Indians for the other win. Mitchell also coached the Trojan softballers. Dave Adiller again led the league in hitting with .476, with Jim Smith, Har- old Rose, Vernon Fischer, Art Burris, Bob Meyer, and Mitchell all outstand- ing hitters.

Spartan Softball Bright lights blaze out for the Spartan future plans in softball. Eight of their nine men were freshmen last fall, which should assure a good year ahead for them. The Spartan ' s lone victory in five contests was a 9-6 triumph over the Indians in the season ' s opener— thanks to a grand-slammer by frosh Kyle Green. However, the Indians avenged that de- feat with two straight setbacks later. Handling the mound chores for Coach Chuck Taylor were high-schooler Jim Mclntyre, Don Angle, and Green. The latter two were also outstanding bats- men along with George Mellish, Don Watson, and John Hanson. C v Paye Two Hundred Nin Left to Right: Standing: W. Potts, D. Hill, C. McCullough, M.

With Lauren Larsen and Parsons do- ing most of the hurling, and Bill Bohan- non, Bob Crabtree, and Gene Houchin the outstanding batsmen, the Indians gained their lone consolation in a 17-3 drubbing of the Spartans. In the statistic range, the Indians scored just as many runs as they had scored against them— thirty-four. Paye Tivo Hundred Ten Trojan Softball The Trojan girls split even in four decisions in their fall sports card with Beverly Hickler as their coach and pitcher. Ruth Peters, as Beverly ' s receiver, Rosella Scott, Esther Leonard, and Hick- ler were the top hitters for the blue and white softballers. The Trojans ' only consolation was a 9-7 verdict over the Indian girls, which necessitated a play-off game with the Indians. Left to Right: Standing: — B. Hickler, R. Peters, V. Sink, V.

Parjc Two Hundred Eleven Spartan Softball It was no victories and four defeats for the Spartan girls softballers, who seemingly had caught the fever from the Men of Sparta for last place. Jackie Spencer coached and pitched for the Green clad athletes, who couldn ' t get started, mainly because of defensive weaknesses.
