We, the students of American Christian College greatly rejoice this year because of our beautiful experiences with Jesus Christ. The divine call which leads students to A.C.C. resulted in a spark of enthusiasm and joy which brought each of us closer to the Lord and each other. We are grateful to our parents, friends, and supporters for their earnest prayers, for we realize that prayer not only changes things, but individuals. We read in James 5:16... The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Recognition of the presence of Jesus Christ was emphasized above all else in every activity of American Christian College this year. Colossians 3:17 was the guideline in which we proceeded . . . and whatever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him. On November 17, 1972 the past president of the student body, Ray Shockey, encouraged us to maintain the family spirit and continuing fellowshipping through prayer, for and with the administration, faculty, and fellow students. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES - Paul Sher man, Diane Dederich, Starla Hodges, Debbie Conrad, Karen Pitts, Robbie Marble. SENATE - Dave Nebergall, Karl Edwards, Wayne Buller, Tom Powers, Dan Sidebottom. Our Christ-centered activities this year started with an unforgettable Love Story. We went to a Passion Play in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, which portrayed the atonement of our Lord and Savior, through his death, burial, and resurrection. The Thanksgiving Banquet was a blessing to each of us Dr. Hargis reported on our missionary work around the world. His final note was expressed so beautifully as recorded in I Thessalonians 5:18. . . ln everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ concerning you. ln order for the college to expand next fall, we were in need of three new buildings. In the endeavor to get them, the student body pulled together in Spirit and in Truth. A 24 hour prayer vigil was organized and the students continue to pray that God answered our prayers and we now have three new beautiful buildings.

We had a rewarding year, the outreach to others was a never ending task. Visiting nursing homes, local churches, and an endless number of things increased our love for the priceless gift of Jesus Christ and a deeper communion with one another. Spring being the time for DBBUTY and the lovelier things in life, the student body continued their trend of singing and witnessing for our Precious Redeemer. We participated in a Salvation Army function where we presented the joy and love of Christ to a countless number of families. On behalf of the student body officers and the entire student body of American Christian College, I want to thank our President, Dr. Hargis, Vice-President, Reverend Noebelg Dean, Dr. Grow, and all of the members of the staff and faculty for their love and devotion which will help us become better servants for our master. We pray that we will be able to forever abide by the principles you have taught us. God has blessed us with a beautiful year. Love in Christ, fd W Wayne uller A.C.C. Student Body President, 1973 29
