William Jennings Bryan University Dayton, Tennessee 1 % m DEDICATION Presence with a Purpose Superior development of body, mind and spirit characterizes him. He lives consistently for Christ in all areas of life and always strives to be a more complete individual. The influence of his high Christian standards are seen from his warmth in family life to his classroom performance, from his preaching to his carpentry, from his organ playing to his famous Bible analyses assignments, from his sense of humor to his willingness to assist others, and from his athletic interest to his aesthetic interest. In appreciation of these contributions, we dedicate the 19 5 8 Commoner to our Bible professor — Dr. Irving L. Jensen Contents Leadership . . . 16 Organizations. . . . 36 JT.

' ■ ' I !■ IWS J Everything was useful in our experience at Bryan because Christ was the source of guidance for our whole life. From the matter of God ' s plan for our future to the daily schedule of studies, work and recreation we endeavored to act according to His instruction. Sometimes we found ourselves carefree and sometimes despondent, but whatever the mood, the problem or the challenge we continued to develop the unified Christian outlook. . . . Being filled by Him who fills everything everywhere. Ephesians 1:23 (Williams) :w Completeness Involved It is not a fact that I have already secured it or already reached perfection, but I am pressing on to see if I can capture it, the ideal for which I was captured by Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12 (Williams) Freshmen begin their college struggles with entrance exams. Accomplishment as seniors leads to future positions as graduates. - m : 10 Intellectual Initiative . . Continue to prove all things until you can approve them, and then hold on to what is good. I Thessalonians 5:21 (Williams) Inside or outside mental activity is continually developed. Books i ontt mi the indispensable knowledge of the past. 11 Physical Development . m . -- i -. mmmm  e Physical training, indeed, is of some service. I Timothy 4:8 (Williams) Physical fitness aids daily efficiency. J ! . They exercise together that they may per- form individually. Spiritual Consistency Christ-directed fellowship deepens relationship with others. Personal devotions set the pace for spiritual growth. But the aim of your instruction is to be love that flows out of a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sin- cere faith. I Timothy 1:5 (Williams) 13 The outflow of the Christian life has effect in responsive hearts. Group Effort and Fill up my cup of joy by living in harmony, by foster- ing the same disposition of love, your hearts beating in unison, your minds set on one purpose. Philippians 2:2 (Williams) 7 takes a lot of work, but it means a lot of laughter. 14 Personal Adjustment Giving and receiving friendship encourages harmonious living. Everybody must continue to live in the station which the Lord assigned to him, in that in which God called him. I Corinthians 7:17 (Williams) The vocational for the educa- tional equals learning. Dating is the medium of shilling enjoyment. 15 K! Sr HUMUh ■• :v Contributing their energy for the education of Bryan students necessitated many long, late hours for the administration, faculty and staff. Functioning at Bryan was their Christ-led position. Forging ahead toward higher goals for the college, the leaders were wholeheartedly involved in their work. Their enthusiasm kept them lively for their endless task. IN M EMORIAM F. E. Robinson F. E. Robinson was one of the founders of the college, serving as chairman of the board of trustees until 195 5 when he was elected honorary chairman for life. The well-known Mister Earl died on May 3, 1957. The William Jennings Bryan University is a direct result of the world-famous Tennessee evolution case of 192 5 which began in Mr. Robinson ' s drug store. In Dayton and Rhea County he was active in improvement projects for the community and in business for half a century. To him life was an integrated whole in which Christ should direct every phase every day. 18 ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO THE TRUSTEES— First row: Mrs. J. S. Frazier, Mrs. E. B. Arnold, Mrs. Harris Gregg.

He was well known for his ceaseless effort, frankness and friendliness. His family life was enlivened by the pranks of his three little boys and inspired by his gracious wife. The little foxes that spoil the college life were often the objects of his practical chapel warnings. He was never satisfied until the task was done as perfectly as possible. Theodore C.

Mr. Metzs was Bryan ' s Mr. Fix-it. f3 BIBLE The Key Center Bible — every student had at least one course in this department. This requirement gave everyone an opportunity for a scholarly study of the Bible. It meant Dr. Jensen ' s seminar for the senior major; for the freshman, verbatim or location and gist. For the sophomore it meant working for hours to produce a valuable Bible analysis. And for the upperclassmen it meant doctrine class or prophetic writings or some other course of his own interest. All this time and energy were devoted to God ' s Book because it is the standard for all truth, the basis for all learning. Alma F.

M.A. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION Why, Teacher? Where did God come from? piped the six-year old. Thoughts raced wildly through the teacher ' s mind. How could he answer a question like that? He searched his memory for some bit of information which would help him. Did his college prof ever mention this situation? What were the characteristics of this age group? How could he best answer the child? God has always lived and He has always loved you. Boy, he must be awful old then! And so the young man realized that to know is to instruct, to feel is to inspire, and to do is to guide. The Christian ed student aimed to teach. Jackie Morris pondered over aims for ' teaching.

How could a student form a philosophy of education out of traditionalism versus conventionalism, and then how could she decide where progressivism fitted into the picture? The picture! If only she could catch the vision of those shining little faces raised just eager for knowledge — grimy hands, sparkling eyes and tee-shirts hanging out over blue jeans! She, as a teacher of tomorrow, was to be a source of truth for those searching minds — the leaders of tomorrow. Judson A. Rudd Special Instructor of Education Ottawa University University of Kansas Wheaton College A.B. M.A. LL.D. The young teacher looked for- ward to her first experience in giving to eager young minds. Jnanita Long took an active part in the kindergarten. 26 PHILOSOPHY Sheer Nonsense He lectured on and on about pragmatism, existentialism, and positivism. The pencil flew as the writer attempted to copy the basic tenets of these schools of thought. The prof assigned a book to be read; the student advised his friends to include it in their libraries. At the next lecture, he discovered the book had many fallacies, unknown to him. Outside the classroom the student remarked, That class gives me an inferiority complex! But to his surprise, after a year ' s study he could better discern between pure reason and sheer nonsense, unapologetically upholding his Christian faith.

Bartlett Special Instructor of English Bob Jones University Ohio State University B.A. M.F.A. ENGLISH Work and Daze The English major ' s favorite haunt was the library; his most constant companions were books. Works by Hesiod, Plato, Milton, Dostoievsky, Shakespeare, Eliot, Camus, and many others. His most avid exercise was reading! Many term papers required much research and integration of the materials at hand. Acquaintance with the great minds of literature enlarged his own culture and increased his understanding of the contemporary world. Utilizing grammar and the art of speaking gave polish and variety to his intellectual accomplishments. 28 Order for present ivas derived from ages past. Dick Franklin, amid a mountain of books, sought to relate past and present in writing a paper. Harold J. Franz Special Instructor in History Wheaton College Harvard Divinity School Harvard University B.A. M.A. S.T.B. Ph.D. Candidate HISTORY AND SOCIOLOGY Out of Confusion! Events, literature, customs — how to correlate all these into a systematic approach to history! That was the job of the history student. Rebelling against the idea of being required to take another history course, the freshman slammed his book shut and muttered, 1 hate history. Confusion reigned! Even as history demonstrates progress, so progress was demonstrated on campus. History became the medium of understanding others — in the present. Built on the basic thoughl that Cod is sovereign, history had meaning. Ruth H. Nixon Special Instructor in Sociology University of California A.B. M.A. Ed.D. Clifford L. Nixon Special Instructor in History University of California B.A. M.A. Ed.D. 29 Dissecting animals was an interesting part of zo- ology. Ginny Shea began to investigate the frog. Willard L.

Woughter Associate Professor of Biology Wheaton College Purdue University University of Tennessee B.A. M.S. Ph.D. Candidate NATURAL SCIENCE Just a Cut Up Heads were propped skyward as the prof raced on, pointing out tree features. But all he could think of was how to spell Leer-io-den-drummn Tul-e-pif-ferra! In the spring his nose scraped the ground as he tried to detect a microscopic wild flower. Meanwhile, in the zoo lab the smell of formaldehyde was stronger than ever. The girl stared at the specimen before her. She had to touch it. She fought off the cowardly desire to run. With a grim look of determination she inserted the blade — Operation Frog had begun. The microscope brought unseen worlds into focus. Lary Thompson adjusted and readjusted to ex- plore the cells of a puff ball. 30 MATHEMATICS PHYSICAL SCIENCE Frustration— then Yes! Ten minutes passed. I can ' t get this stuff. Flopping on his bed, he reread the math problem and set it up a bit differently this time. He fumed, If this doesn ' t work, I ' ll quit! Forty minutes — the answer blank was still empty. I have to finish this before my date tonight, he groaned to his roommate. It had been so easy to do the experiment — if only the mathematical theory behind it were as simple. Then he talked to others taking the course, but still no answer. What does that prof think we are anyway — mathematical wizards? I sure hope the book ' s answer is wrong. But more thinking, more frustration — then the answer! Dewayne A. Lee Special Instructor of Chemistry Concordia College (Minnesota) B.A. Justin T. Long Special Instructor of Chemistry Purdue University Iowa State University B.S M.S. Ph.D. Intense observation supplied scientific facts. Bar- bara Cornatzer anticipated a chemical reaction.

Greek to him, that was one sure thing. He recalled past years and struggles with Spanish- lost in a maze of conjugated verbs, and was it masculine or feminine gender? And now his roommate was pacing the floor, stumbling over French words as if his nose had a clothespin on it. Well, back to these ' characters. ' Sieglinde R.

Bartlett Assistant Professor of Music Bob Jones University Ohio State University B.A. M.F.A. Choppin ' Chopin Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Debussy — all those names kept raging through his mind. Their greatness, their talents — and there he sat in the stuffy practice room, doing the C scale with one finger. But there was still hope as he thought of all there was to explore — dissonants, related harmonies, the seventh chord, but most of the time general dis-chord. The goal of professional polish seemed hazy to him. With a surge of energy, he attacked that C scale again. His debut in Carnegie Hall loomed before him, but he hadn ' t even been chosen for the student recital. ? Wilma R. Franz Special Instructor of Music Wheaton College B.A. Karl E.

These were the warnings remembered as he pushed himself for faster typing. Mistakes and erasures, letters and speed tests, rhythm and speed, practice and more practice — all were part of a college typing course. What ' s all this about theories? he questioned when he stared at the economics text. It was a blur of interpretations to him. A materialistic world bound — by economic trends and business seemed abstract. But he was involved. Values determined interest. Dick Poiuers compared the economics text with the world outside. Business demanded production. The requirement of good typing for Pat Reisenauer was accuracy. Rebecca M. Peck Special Instructor of Business Bryan University B.A. Judson A. Kudd Associate Professor of Business Ottawa University University of Kansas Wheaton College A.B. M.A. LL.D. 34 PHYSIOL EDUCATION Side-straddle Flop Rushing to get into his phys ed duds, dashing down to the athletic field — already worn out before he even started! Commands were sounded. His body reacted. Back straight, arm muscles tense — he pushed himself up and down until he heard, 20. Feet outward, hands clasped over his head — ■ he was ready for the side-straddle hop. He gasped for breath as he neared the finish of his second lap around the track. Next he charged the line to stop that forward pass. Time ' s up. He trotted back toward his room. That ' s where his bed was. James S. Quinn Director of Athletics Instructor of Health and Physical Education Wheaton College A.B. Muscles strained as the coach stressed push-ups. Glen Davis proved his skill at muscle building. 35 iTO ; H SHv 3H HE UND 1 fe ■■■■■■M Contributing their practical expression of an integrated world view, organizations were an outlet for specialized interests. From a small camera club to a large literary society, many forms of participation were available for everyone. The culmination of their goals and achievements was an asset to the entire student body. CHRISTIAN SERVICE ASSOCIATION Daily Dialogue Why ' d you come, teacher? It ' s rainin ' . Why did she? She hadn ' t wanted to come. Just why did the Child Evangelism teachers go out every Sunday — and the jail workers — in spite of their own personal wishes? So many kids went out every week. . . . Why? I ' ve come to tell you a Bible story — to tell you that Jesus loves you. Do you remember the stories I tell you? Dimples showed in the little round face, I ' member the story ' bout David and big ole Goliath. Visitation reached m any in the nearby area. David Jones and Jack Grammar explained the way of sal- vation. Student Bible teachers made weekly trips to public schools. Glen Lehman presented a pic- ture story to his class at Sale Creek.

Her tryout was over in no time. She really couldn ' t expect to get in her first year, and practice would take so much time. When she heard that the choir list was posted, she dropped everything to get to the bulletin board. She gulped and turned away when she didn ' t see her name. A voice beside her said, Hey, I thought you were a soprano, but here ' s your name in the alto section. 40 GOSPEL MESSENGERS Dust and Destiny He sat down on the suitcase — click. Shut for another day! A Gospel Messenger ' s suitcase is even worse than a woman ' s pocketbook, he breathed. He grabbed his suitcase and ran to the car, calling Goodbye and thanks for everything. Let Christ influence others through us, they prayed before heading for the next stop. Five thousand miles sure has been hard on this old Ford. . . . Oh, no! Another flat! — out with the suitcases.

Even after all those hours in workshop sessions he still felt insecure. He began to explain how to pass from the circle of death into the circle of life. Beside the door sat the fellow he had made a bid to only yesterday . . . about coming to this meeting. They had something in common — first timers! MBC — Front row: G. Shea, J. Brunner, J. Long.

But after the PF session, it seemed like being a pastor was nearly a hundred occupations wrapped in one. He had learned that prayer, original messages and visitation were only half the task when specialists uncovered other areas. But what would his reaction be when he overheard, There ' s our new pastor. I wonder if I ' ll like him? 42 FMF Here for There Would he be a missionary some day? He squirmed in his seat as he watched the African native war dance on the screen. Many FMF conference speakers had come and gone, but he remained unimpressable. It was easy to sit in a circle and pray for missionaries every Wednesday night. Tonight he conceived the actuality of being a missionary.

BIBLE MEMORY ASSOCIATION Repeat Seat STUDENT WIVES ' BIBLE CLASS Helpmates I was never so embarrased in my life. I started to say John 8:12 and just got it all mixed up. I ' d better go with you to that new Bible memory club. The next week he set out to conquer ten verses. Without grace it is impossible to please. . . . No, that ' s not right. Just then his roommate reminded, It ' s almost two o ' clock. Don ' t you have a date with your hearer? I have to go over these once more. Could you listen to me? Repetitio mater est studiorium . She wiped a smudge of flour off her nose as she opened the door. Just stopped by to remind you of our women ' s Bible class tonight, the visitor greeted her. We ' re studying the book of John, you know — chapter ten tonight. I almost forgot that it was Tuesday, she replied. Join me over a cup of coffee while you ' re here. Sounds relaxing to me.

Many speeches had been made from this platform. Forensic weekend wasn ' t the only occasion. She recalled the discussion on communism, the review of Ortega ' s Revolt of the Masses and the program of Christmas carols. But tonight her class ' s honor was at stake. What if she failed? Those sophs were experienced, but the freshman class play must win first place. Now the production had begun. . . . Yes, she would prompt as well as anyone. She was determined to be a -top-notch teacher- sweet, kind, emotionally stable. It was too silly to cry. This was only a film, A Desk for Billie. She forced herself to remember the SNEA skit, Miss Schmidt and Her Second Graders. She had laughed until her sides ached. A teacher surely needed patience! Now it was time for her to take over. . . .

Then a blindfolded he-man began to fan the air with a broom handle, hoping to break the pinata. Works better if you hit the target, someone hollered, and ducked just in time for safety. The girls squealed at the loud crack, and one teased, You got the wrong idea. You ' re supposed to break the pinata, not the broom handle! Several students rushed up to read the notice. Venez ce soit a Notre Cercle Y ran can a 7h. 30, salle 2 5 8. All but one turned away in disgust. He thought he ' d give it a try.

He could hardly wait to see how that shot of the Gulch turned out. He began to set up the developing equipment. Turning the lights out, he opened the film and loaded the tank. The time came to pour on the D-23. Now was it five minutes or twelve? He rinsed the film; then held up the negative. What was this? The film was blank! I ' ve jabbed my fingers twice hemming these drapes. I wonder if they ' ll appreciate them? The other lady reminded her, Well, they surely appreciated it when we decorated the girls ' lounge. Remember all the excitement when they saw the tile and the upholstered furniture. Before, those girls had been sitting on bare springs — well, almost bare! They decided their efforts would prove worthwhile. What is that odor? Is something burning? Oh, my cakes — these drapes will have to go! WOMEN ' S AUXILIARY OFFICERS — Left to right: U.

In one corner they were sweating over typewriters, trying to cut out the trite words; across the room the editor and layout man debated over which picture was the final. Just then the photographer snapped an unexpected shot. The staff howled in protest! At that moment the typists interrupted the outbreak by delivering a stack of finished copy. The spokesman griped, Business manager, ad manager, copy editors — what a bunch of slave drivers! And two tests tomorrow — who has time to study! Marilyn Taylor, Assistant Copy Editor Left to right Lary Thompson, Harold Johnson, Bill Brew, Jerry Smith, Soli, itors. 51 Joyce Hughes Nola Jahnke William McKinley Stanley Michals ki WHO ' S WHO Dominant Minority Breathless, the last students dashed into chapel and panted through the opening hymn. The Dean came forward to make the announcements. Each year it is the policy of this college to select certain students to appear in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Everyone waited expectantly — who had been chosen? Six names were called out; six individuals rose. A moment of awe passed over the crowd — then a burst of applause. Cary Perdue Barbara Ridder 52 STUDENT COUNCIL— Front row: B. Pratt, C. Ryle, M. Perdue, B. Jamerson, J. Day. Second row. B. Brew, G. Sorrell, L. Royston, M. Sides, L. Manglitz. Student suggestions brought definite results. Cary Perdue picked them up on his way to the meeting. STUDENT COUNCIL Pros and Cons As they entered the small lobby, each student bowed in a mocking way to the bust of Uncle Willie. Then it was Mr. President who took the prominence. Tlie heart of the business was student suggestions. This may be rushing the spring season a bit, but I want to bid for Bermudas on the tennis courts. One member chirped, It ' s .ill right witii the Dean. 1 hey grinned in approval. By the way, the council has a chapel soon. Any suggestions lor .1 student speaker? 53 The print shop handled Bryan literature in its final stages. Gene Anderson and Dave Honeywell ad- justed the press. Newsette created editorial problems for publicity office. Howard Spanogle consulted with Miss Foelster. NEWSETTE Pressed Rewrite— it seemed like the editor ' s favorite word. He sat down at the typewriter and started the job. He had to beat the deadline! He ' d much rather start from scratch. That way he experienced a bigger thrill when the first issue rolled off the press. But after a telephone call and a little perspiration, he gleefully handed the editor the final copy with his favorite remark, Deadline met. 54 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Campus Complement He scanned the Bryanette looking for familiar names. It reminded him of old campus experiences. He really wished that he could go back to the Hill for the next Alumni Homecoming. He reached for his checkbook and addressed an envelope to his alumni chapter. The project was to improve the chemistry lab. He said to his wife, I hope this makes chem experiments a little easier than they were for us. Alumni aided advancement of the school. Frank Henley presented Dr. Mercer with projector from East Tennessee Alumni Association. Enlarging chemistry department ivas their project for the year. Some East Tennessee chapter members displayed their gift of Triple Beam Balances. 55 Even studying tvas prevalent in Trailerville. Dean Franklin and Jack Can ad y compared notes. Singspiration was means of relaxation. Trailerville voices blended in song. TRAILERVILLE COUNCIL— Robert Terpstra, Councilman; Paul Yates, Councilman; Don Williamson, Mayor. 56 TRAILER VILLE Double Duty I really missed you while you were in the hospital, but now we have three in our family. Did you notice that bookcase I built? His wife answered, You ' re terrific, dear, but how did you make out with the cooking? Let ' s not talk about that, the young college father replied before he snapped out the lights in the trailer. . . . He suddenly sat up in bed and asked his wife, What ' s that noise? I told you he ' d have to be fed at three, honey. mm t si Eating together was a family affair. Mrs. Paul Yates ' cooking was enjoyed by husband and girls. Home cooking was a special treat for dorm stu- dents. Sally Chadwick offered cookies for sale to Sue Green and Carol Samuelson. 57 w ■ ™ I ug, fgm A HP Contributing their part in shaping the well-rounded person, parties, receptions, banquets and concerts transformed traditional college affairs into vivid, unforgettable events. Fitting these activities into the busy program of a student developed maturity of purpose. These experiences added significance to friendships. Entrance exams were the topic of conversation. Freshmen welcomed break between tests. FRESHMAN WEEK Green Steam Blind dates happened to the best of us. M. Laszlo, B. McKinley, G. Sorrell, and D. Fehl iveren ' t exactly matched. ■an - i •-. - ' MMHS ra Dear Mom and Dad, After I dragged my last suitcase up the steps, I found my room stacked full of trunks and boxes. I guess it will look better after we unpack. It sure is a mess now. My roommate is a senior. He knows everything. Boy, I ' d give anything if I didn ' t have to take those horrible entrance tests tomorrow. But I guess all the freshmen are in the same boat. Initiation previeivs were featured at big brother-big sister party. Paul Cousins and Jerry Day demonstrated horrors of initiation to ivilling victim. 60 I just met the guy who wrote me last summer, and Friday night we ' re going to a big-brother party. They ' ve got all kinds of things planned for us. The mighty sophomores are trying to scare us about initiation, but I ' m not too worried. They make you do exercises and run over these mountains in the middle of the night. That doesn ' t sound like much fun, but I suppose I ' ll survive as well as anyone. Your son P.S. A little green stuff would sure help! Those who rebelled during initiation had to pay the penalty. Freshmen burst water-filled balloons with their heads. Well, you ' re not so beautiful either. These new- comers were forced to let down their hair. Freshman Talent Night gave chance for discovery. Judy Woods, Rachel and Faith Allan harmonized for the occasion. j T 61 ;  v had FORMAL RECEPTION Trapped Her first formal affair in college and she was forced to have a blind date! It wasn ' t fair — but he might be nice. All her nightmares vanished when she met her escort. Of course the only proper thing to say was How do you do . . . and she said it about forty times going through the reception line. Refreshments, music, speeches — and the Good night. At the top of the steps her roommate asked, Who was your date? She burst out, Why — uh, I can ' t remember his name, but he was so tall! Waiting in the reception line en couraged acquaintances. The stags dis cussed the coming year. Names and faces were blurred during reception. Bryanites were eager to meet the new faculty. Refreshments were served. Relaxed at- mosphere permeated lounge folloiving reception. ALUMNI HOMECOMING The Beaten Path Alumni mingled with old and new faculty. Fred Donahue chatted with Mr. Franz while Miss Rader listened. Come on Bryan — let ' s beat Temple! they yelled. It seemed like old times, screeching and carrying on. But this lime he was an honored guest — an alumnus caught in a whirl of dinners, receptions, concerts, and special meetings. At half time he heard someone shout, Hey, come on! We gotta show these students what we old almuni can do. The next thing he knew he had a football in his hand, running for a touchdown. Score? 7-0, favor of the alumni. Alumni Homecoming was annual fall event. Victory over Temple lifted spirits of all. 63  -w !!f!l9J 2$fe. tsMW £ILOVE MM MOWING l THE0NElWEArHOOtf t ' WEOHEArmmmi ' THE ONE AT MIDNIGHT Gk rtm iocxoFMysMr oMt: THE POTTER JMTHEOAXi FORMYLORDANDME y0 BIBLE CONFERENCE Thermometer Messages Music livened Bible Conference, taught new choruses.

Missionary added variety, field of Argentina. Mr. Hoyt presented the Japanese dress aroused student interest. John Quimby discussed life in Japan. 64 TOCCOA COXFEREXCE Mission Accomplished It wasn ' t even a fair fight. The FMF president kept pestering about the conference, and when he ran down the hall that sign, Have you prayed about Toccoa? was always in the way. As he sat in the Toccoa conference room, he whispered, Thank you, God. Mr. Maxwell ' s voice boomed through the mike, . . . and I repeat, young people. Home missions are good, foreign missions are better, but submission is best. Posters provoked actio n . Stan Michalski and Carol Samuelson contem- plated Toccba. Different speakers met different needs. Mr. Sutherland (left) and Dr. Maxwell (right) stood ivith regional officers. Missionary conferences stimulated students. In the fall Bryanites traveled to Lake Louise. 65 PRESB TERIAN CHURCH SALE CREEK PdsforRiv.R.ix Children CHURCHES Ecclesiastical Pilgrimage Freshman girls trudged down the hill in high-heels. Where ' re we going? Baptist is the nearest, but Presby ' s having a special service, so let ' s go there. They hoped they ' d get a ride before they melted, but cars kept whizzing by. If we went to Sale Creek, we could ride — but everybody going there had a full car. Car brakes screeched. Hop in! We ' re on our way to the Methodist. That ' s where we ' re going, they assured him. Students departed after evening xvorship. Sandy Anderson and Bonnie Pratt hurried to the car. Singing was part of Baptist worship service. Myrna Gibson and Naomi Glock shared a hymnal. 66 CHAPEL Intermission If you hear a strange noise on the platform, it ' ll be my knees knocking, he had warned his girl. If only more students had cut chapel that day! He always enjoyed hearing faculty members or class programs when he was back in his assigned seat. So many well-known speakers had stood there — Ian Thomas, Dr. Ockenga, Jack Wyrtzen. . . . President Mercer nodded; it was time for him. He went to the front of the platform. Our opening hymn is ' Holy Quietness, ' page 46 in the hymnal. Christian authors gave chapel talks. Eugenia Price was outstanding. Music and messages created successful chapels. Harold DeCou, the White Sisters, and Walter Oliver visited Bryan. Well-known speakers contributed to chapel. Dr. Barnhouse was accompanied by his wife. 67 CHRISTMAS BANQUET Nuts and Cuts He whistled as he entered the room. Have a nice time? his roommate grinned, Sure did! he yawned, stretching out on the bed. Was she ever pleased with those roses! And she looked tops in that red gown. Wow! . . . I liked Mr. Franklin ' s emphasis on Christ ' s Lordship, fitted well with the theme, ' Christ Is the Answer. ' He rubbed his chin and sighed, And that ham, hmm — Suddenly he jumped toward the mirror. Boy, that razor cut didn ' t bleed at all. Candlelight set the mood for banquets. Students conversed at Christmas banquet . Workers were a vital part of banquets. These four The speaker was a surprise feature. Mr. Franklin, remained alert. father of two seniors, concluded his message. 68 PARTIES Social Swirl Somebody better get more wood for the fire. No one volunteered, but one girl commented, Remember that box social. I was sure nervous. I was afraid the wrong guy would buy my box. Another exclaimed, But that wasn ' t half as bad as having to ask some fellow for a date for turn-about day. And I fixed that crazy corsage. But you have to admit that a party at Dr. Roger ' s cabin is tops — say, isn ' t it cold here? No wonder — the fire went out! Corsages adorned male victims of Turn-about Day. Bill Jennings ivas nabbed by Peggy Bradford. Seniors even studied on their retreat. After the ' party Lin Roys ton prepared for Tuesday ' s class. Odd characters attended junior Halloiveen party Nature boy Pates chatted ivith Dot tie Wey en- berg. r i r VALENTINE COURT— Left to right: Doug White and Lois Williams (first at- tendants), Nola Jahnke and Lloyd Dow (king and queen), Sharon Poertner arid LiYi Royston (second attendants). Faculty characterized life of the students at the Valentine party. Little Andy proudly displayed his peppermint stick. VALENTINE SOCIAL Have a Heart He walked around impatiently outside the lounge. She was ten minutes late. I hope I ' m not too late, was her response as she opened the door. They hurried to the chapel for the Valentine play and soon were laughing at the actions of Little Andy and other dignified profs imitating students from eating to dating. Next came the annual crowning of king and queen before returning to the lounge for the reception. I ' ll be back in a minute with our refreshments. . . .

Bill McKinley prepared for Dave Lash ' s return. Quiet games relieved tension. Jack Grammar waited for Dick Franklin to move. Noisy outbursts were fre- quent in the rowdy lounge. Dan Berry watched Bill Hicks return the pingpong ball. RECREATION Relax or Relapse Let ' s gc for a dip in the Blue Hole, roommate. That sounds refreshing, but I have too much to study. You ' re just a bookworm. You never play tennis, pingpong, shuffleboard or even chess. There ' s more in life than books. Okay, I ' ll go. But you have to promise to study with me tonight — that way you might get off the restriction list. Tennessee weather was conducive to outdoor rec- reation, Lorraine Snellen- burger and Sherry Ry- zenga competed in a game of shuffleboard. 73 DORMITORY LIFE Inner Sanctum In Bermudas they sat cross-legged on the floor, cutting out bells for their CSA class. Wow! This has been some year, hasn ' t it? Remember the night the boys sang to us? I ' m glad they couldn ' t see us — pin curls and all! The girl by the doorway chipped in, Yeah, and remember the wild scrambles we ' ve had trying to get popcorn popped two minutes before lights out! Man on the floor! EEEEk, they screamed and banged the door shut. Casual conversation was part of dorm life. Tim Reese and Walt Cornatzer talked at foot of stairway. Informal parties ivere times of eating and gab- bing. Girls swallowed popcorn hurriedly to beat lights out bell. 74 The intellect found much exercise in the library. Peggy McCartney and Betty Jamerson persisted in their studies. STUDY Intellectual Archaeology He closed the door and leaned against the wal What a test! Why bother studying? It demanded hours for routine assignments, frustrating cramming, and little shut-eye to prepare for semester finals. He wanted to dig out buried knowledge. Volumes of books, theories, scientific experiments — how could he learn what so many men had discovered? There was one way CO begin — dig deep, study! Study? Illegal light cuts were sometimes necessary. Dean St audi fj sneaked a light cut in his closet. 75 WORK Kitchen work, provided food and fun. Girls prepared the famous bag lunches. Easy Duz It Milk, please, the expediter yelled. The pot-and-pan man dropped his scraper and hurried toward the cooler. It was a relief to get away from that greasy mess, but soon he was back at the steaming waterfront. Secretaries must have a snap job in air-conditioned offices, and even floor sweepers seemed well off. An hour more and he would look at pots and pans for the last time. Everybody liked promotions. Waitresses made meals pleasant. Bonnie Pratt scraped off a plate. In spite of the rain, daily duties had to be done. Gayle Kyle handed Kon Chadivick the trash can. 76 i- -rfU- ' Jr fe ll ? - CZ Sryi b_ b  i i air k ' ' - i ■■-■--, ■. ■ — ■ — - .

I hope it ' s just a bad sore throat. I ' ll try. Before you go, look at this book I just bought in the bookstore, The Holy War. I always wanted to get one of Bunyan ' s books. Hey. that sounds like the nurse coming down the hall. She said to go straight to bed. If she finds me. . . ! Let me hide behind the counter. The university bookstore made practical needs easily obtainable. Glen Lehman, manager, in- terested Betty Jamerson in a new booh. The dispensary preserved good health.

Spring lured young students outdoors. Students- escaped the botindaries of the four walls. SPRING EVENTS Binding Ties Commencement had almost begun. She took one last look at the campus — what memories it held! When she was a freshman, she had such fun during campus cleanup until discovering she was literally covered with poison ivy. A few weeks before there had been so much excitement when the Commoners had arrived. All at once the entire student body became a pack of autograph hounds — but it was wonderful. Hey you ' d better hurry. Everyone is waiting! I ' ll be right there — and soon Commencement was over! She joined her class as they formed a circle in the triangle, and Blest be the tie that binds — echoed across the campus. 78 ' ■ ;-, ■y- r iv. q% W 1 ■MSH 9 •wmuit gB nr, i i— ik i 1 £ X-- ,rv.

Who ' s in the lead? It looke like a UT man is first! They groaned and waited for the first Bryan runner. After the first few men passed, someone yelled, Let ' s hurry back to the finish line. He remembered how excited he had been when the team had pulled in from the Tennessee meet. Bryan missed first place by one point and was even ahead of UT. Then in Atlanta they had topped Georgia Tech and lost to Florida. If only they could win the invitational meet. . . . Here came the runners down to the finish line. . . .

I wouldn ' t miss that game with Temple! Think we ' ll beat them the second time? Tradition said no, but the Bryan Lions vetoed this by making the winning touchdown. Victory was theirs, 27-19, this time. Can you imagine beating them in both games! As they rode back to the Hill, they discussed the coming intra-school North-South classic. Well, last year the South won! Perhaps history will repeat itself. But the Yankees blanked the Rebels, 13-0. Temple provided stiff opposition. Bryan football team relaxed before the encounter.

Fifty seconds to go. . . . The second one was a thriller. Fultz ' two foul shots and Hughes ' last second basket had made that 54-52 decision over Martin possible. They overcame a 16-point deficit. It was sweet revenge after losing the opening game to them. Thirty-five seconds remaining. . . . He recorded a foul shot for Bryan and another two points for Southeastern.

The trouble was that the Tennessee Wesleyan man kept right up with him. But he pushed ahead to come in first. After he caught his breath, an opponent remarked, Have you had a good season? We do our best at home, topped both Berry and Tusculum so far, but we ' ve lost all our away meets. Participants strained for every inch in the broad jump. Paul Cousins leaped for distance.
