While Freshmen and Sophomores learned about old and new testa¬ ment history, the Bible became the textbook for Juniors intensive study of SDA doctrines. A new pro¬ gram of independent study gave Seniors opportunity for exploring areas of individual interest. All learned more about applying Christ¬ ian principles to modern living. This year a Bible Curriculum Center, composed of material on several Bible-related subjects, collected by the Bible teachers, was used to good advantage by many students. For some of them, a chat with one of the guidance personnel marked a turning point. Mrs. Syphers ' Sophomore New Testament class divides into groups to discuss a topic. Pastor Moyer is always delighted to have someone come in for a chat. Carol Pulley files pamphlets for future use in the Bible Curriculum center. 17
