THE 1977 THRESHER Bethel College North Newton, Kansas Table Of Contents Academics 10 Activities 50 Sports 68 Students 84 More than a century ago, the thirty- seven acres of prairie that now comprise the Bethel College campus were covered with clumps of bluestem and switchgrass; these plants pro- vided forage, first for wandering buffalo, then for the vast herds of longhorn cattle be- ing driven up the Chisholm Trail from Tex- as . With the coming of the Santa Fe Railroad to Newton in 1871, this brand new town di- rectly to the south became the primary ship- ping point for the Texas cattle; for a brief but bloddy summer it was known throughout the state as the wickedest town in Kansas . The cowboys and their wild ways were soon gone, however; and Newton entered into a more routine and peaceful existence. The railroad also began looking for settlers for the surrounding vast acres of land which it owned. Among the farmers attracted by the railroad were thousands of Mennonite immi- grants from the Russian Ukraine. These sturdy, hard-working pioneers brought with them from Russia many household articles, farming tools, and even small quantities of seed wheat- -Turkey Red seed wheat- -for they had visions of transforming the fertile plains of their new homeland into waying fields of golden grain . Previous Kansas settlers had been sowing mostly corn, although several varieties of spring wheat and soft winter wheat had also been producing mediocre crops for a number of years. The Mennonites planted their first crop of the Russian hard red winter wheat in 1874. This Turkey Red Wheat was well adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of Kansas, which were similar to those of the Ukrainian steppes; however, despite its su- periority over other varieties, Turkey Red was not grown to any extent outside the Men- nonite communities for more than twenty years . Gradually research began to reveal the out- standing qualities of Turkey Red Wheat. In the mid-1890 ' s Mark Carleton, the world- famous cereal authority, was sent to Kansas by the Department of Agriculture to find out why the wheat crop was so unsatifactory . He found that the only good wheat in the state was grown in the Mennonite colonies. His re- port, combined with importations of the Rus- sian wheat by the Mennonite miller, Bernhard Warkentin, finally resulted in the spread of Turkey Red Wheat throughout Kansas. In the first decade of the twentieth century, the wheat harvest in Kansas doubled; by 1920 it had doubled again, and Kansas was producing more wheat than any other state. Today Kan- sas grain descended from the original Rus- sian Turkey Red Wheat is shipped throughout the world, to provide nourishment for mil- lions of people . The threshing stones located on the Bethel College campus today remind us of our pio- neer Mennonite forebears and our agricultur- al heritage. These cylindrical ridged stones were used in Russia and in the earliest years in Kansas: when pulled over ripe wheat straw by horses or oxen, they beat the grains of wheat out of the heads. Soon advanced me- chanical methods, like the threshing machine located behind Kauffman Museum, replaced the threshing stones. Since November 16, 1934, the threshing stone has been the offi- cial symbol of Bethel College . i CHn ;Ti6ri S«nn l«nl blKlAld IVrsimiil S«H l) + economic problems DE Calculus LOG DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY TODAY Second EdU,on Some of the early Mennonite pioneers, sur- veying the windswept Kansas prairies and imagining fields of waving wheat, had yet an- other vision. They saw in their young people another potentially valuable harvest: their minds offered fertile soil in which could be planted and cultivated the seeds of knowl- edge. Almost immediately after their arrival in Kansas, the Mennonites established German elementary schools for their children. In or- der to prepare capable young men for teaching in these schools, the Kansas Con- ference of the Mennonites began in 187 7 to make plans for the establishment of a Men- nonitische Fortbildings-schule (Mennonite Continuation school). In 1882 the Emmatal school opened near Goessel with twenty-one male pupils. To se- cure more room and better opportunities, one year later it moved to Halstead--and opened its doors to -women. The Halstead Mennonite Seminary remained in operation for ten years. Its curriculum was essentially just a continuation of elementary school, since the preparation of most of its pupils was relatively meager . By 1887, however, the educational aspira- tions of Mennonite youth were increasing. A movement was begun towards the establish- ment of an institution of full-college rank. An offer of cash and real estate by the city of Newton, by that time a prosperous and pro- gressive young town, precipitated action on the issue. In May 1887, under the leadership of David Goerz, Bernhard Warkentin, and J.J. Krehbiel, the Bethel College corporation was formed. Tn September 1893 classes fi- nally commenced in a stately limestone structure which had been erected on the open prairie north of Newton. By this time the Halstead Seminary had closed its doors, and the new Bethel College assumed its responsibilities. During the first year, course offerings at Bethel were limited to preparatory and academy work, although a three-year college course was announced. Plans for a Biblical Theological Institute were also revealed, but they never materialized. Twenty years passed before a full college course was offered, and some additional fif- teen years went by before all preparatory work was discontinued. The first A.B. de- grees were granted in 1912. Since 1893 over 7000 alumni have attended Bethel College. Just as the Kansas grain de- scended from Turkey Red Wheat has been shipped throughout the world. Bethel ' s influ- ence has been felt all over the globe through the work and service of her alumni. The pioneer founders of Bethel College could not have imagined what it would be- come. A nationally accredited liberal arts college with 638 students (official fall 1976 enrollment). Bethel offers courses in twenty- nine different departments which are orga- nized within six divisions of knowledge. Ten major buildings form the campus pro- file, including the newest of the academic buildings, the Fine Arts Center, which was finished in 1966. A new gymnasiusm is ex- pected to be completed by the end of 1977. The pages that follow reveal part of the story of Bethel College today-- during the school year of 1976-77. 4 Fall Festival 1976 The festive weekend of October 1-3 brought thousands of alumni and friends to the Bethel campus to share with faculty and students in celebration through the theme, Shaping Our World. The traditional ethnic foods, oldtime craft demonstrations, and Low German and Swiss programs on Saturday recalled the pioneer Mennonite role in shaping Bethel ' s world. Academic departmental and organiza- tional booths, modem craft demonstrations, films, and a variety of learning seminars which covered topics ranging from embryo transplants to Communist China -- provided evidence of Bethel ' s role in shaping the world of each of its students and alumni. And final- ly, the Sunday morning worship service em- phasized the role of Bethel alumni in helping to shape the larger world about them through Christian service. To add to the fellowship and fun on Fri- day afternoon, athletic activities on the green attracted many participants and spectators. Anew Almost Anything Goes contest was added to the usual program of volleyball matches, hoop races, frisbee throwing con- tests, and children ' s races. Other highlights of the weekend included four presentations of The Fantasticks, musical entertainment provided by a variety of groups from the college and neighboring communities, a pit barbecue, and the soccer and football victories. Orlin Martens, Mike Goossen, Mike Nachtigal, Dennis Schmidt, and Dianne Smith carefully survey the bowls of cherry moos and plates of pie as they pass through the de- ssert section of the line at the German-Swiss luncheon. ,6 J.

The popular dunking booth Shaping Bethel ' s World A new shape for Bethel ' s future was as- sured this year as gifts and pledges toward the $4,020,000 development drive reached the 90 percent mark in February. Ground- breaking ceremonies for the first of the new facilities to be financed by the drive, a gym- nasium-recreation center, were held on Feb- ruary 25 while the Bethel College Board of Directors was in session. The Board of Directors and President Schultz focused much of their attention this year on the details of the development plan. In addition to the new gymnasium west of Me- morial Hall, the plan provides for the con- struction of a student activity center; schol- arships; program enrichment in Agriculture, Business, Bible, Biology, Psychology, Com- munications, Early Childhood Education, Graphic Arts, Music, and Pre -Engineering; and library renovation and acquisition of new books .

Changes in personnel within the various departments also brought some new perspectives to the division itself this year. Carl Helrich, who was hired with the aim of working out a more attractive pre -engi- neering program, became the new Assistant Professor of Physics. He also brought to the program a special interest in bio-physics, particularly vision, which he hoped to even- tually see reflected in special research by his students . With Robert Schmidt away on sabbatical at the School of Medicine at the University of Iowa, doing research on artificial mem- branes as model systems for cancer, the De- partments of Biology and Chemistry also un- derwent some adjustments. Wayne Wiens re- turned to Bethel after spending the past three years heading the Department of Biology at Kalamazoo College in Michigan. Ronald Rich, another former Bethelite on leave from the International Christian University in To- kyo, Japan, taught the course in Quantitative Chemistry. A special highlight for the Chem- istry Department was the interterm course in Instrumental Analysis, in which they had the use of the mobile laboratory for a whole month . With nearly every faculty member at least recently engaged in research and publishing (Tom Lehman coauthored a book on ION CY- CLOTRON RESONANCE SPECTROMETRY that was published this year, for example.), the Division of the Natural Sciences can boast an excellent faculty and academic program. The division is hoping for substantial im- provements in equipment and facilities in the near future in order to further enhance its effectiveness .

Different approaches to the interpretation of the meaning of life were explored through religion, philosophy, and literature. The logical structures of human language and the more abstract systems of mathematics were also examined. Providing an integral part of the curriculum at a church -related college, the Department of Bible and Religion offered courses not only to prepare those interested for work in the church, but also to provide a general back- ground for all students. Duane Friesen was on sabbatical this year at St. John ' s Univer- sity in Collegeville, Minnesota; he was re- placed by Bruce Miller . The English Department gained two new faculty members: Warren Harris, who also taught in the Speech and Drama Department, and Raylene Penner . Anna Juhnke led students to England during January to study the London theatre, and new courses n film and commu- nications were developed . Foreign language students studied German and French under Debbie Hunsberger, while Spanish was still available through Hesston College and the ACCK. Some German stu- dents took advantage of the opportunity to practice their language skills and experience European culture firsthand during the inter- term course. The German Language and Lit- erature in a German Environment. The Mathematical Sciences Department en- joyed the use of an advanced new computer system --at least when it was working! Most Computer Science courses were held at the ACCK Computer Center Offices in McPher- son; Bethel also continued to participate in a cooperative program with McPherson, Ta- bor, Hesston, and Central Colleges in order to improve efficiency by sharing upper lever courses . The Philosophy Department, with concerns that cut across all other disciplines, pro- vided an integrative contribution to the liber- al arts education.

Lowell Tieszen works at converting old programs for use in the new computer system . The two terminals located in the Administration Building allowed students to direct- ly type and run programs in the BASIC, FORTRAN, and COBOL languages. Fine Arts -- Art Art students spent many hours in the art lab, working to increase their proficiency in a variety of media. As their own styles of vi- sual expression developed, some also had the opportunity to study the development of art in western civilization as a whole through art history courses; Daniel Hitchcock joined the art faculty this year to provide instruction in that area. Many students also traveled with Bob Regier and Paul Friesen to Italy during interterm; there they enjoyed learning first- hand about Renaissance and Baroque art and architecture.

Bethel is fortunate to have many tal- ented and creative people in this department. The Oratorio Chorus prepared ' ' Job , by Dr . J. Harold Moyer, to be performed with the Mid - Kansas Orchestra. A group of people spent part of inter-term at Hays studying jazz improvisatory techniques . One evening they entertained the student body in the basement of Memorial Hall. Other activities for music majors and others included participating in large ensembles, small ensembles, and recitals. Rehearsals, recitals , daily practice , and studying are all an important part of a musician ' s life at Bethel College .

Fine Arts — Speech And Drama Forensics And Debate Under the direction of Ada Mae Haury, the forensics and debate squads had another very- successful year --although they couldn ' t quite top last year ' s results. Bethel was ranked third among all colleges with enrollments un- der 3000 in the Intercollegiate Speech Tour- nament Results publication for 1975-76! A squad of from twenty to twenty -five indi- viduals participated in public speaking and interpretive events at tournaments throughout the Midwest. The debaters argued the topic: Resolved, that the Federal government should strengthen the requirements of con- sumer product safety on manufacturers. Students not participating in competitive debate or forensics also had the opportunity to sharpen their speaking skills through the speech and oral interpretation. Among those who participated in forensics were Janice Gundy, Jayne Belknap, Steve Schmidt, Debra Penner, Weldon Martens , and Donna Goering , The debate and forensics squads pose beside the van before leaving for a toiamament at Nortiiwest Missouri State Uni- versity- -Ken Boehr, Mark Ediger, Jan Niles, David Abel, Ardie Schroeder, Beth Goering, Kirk Belt, Jim Goering, Linda Vetter, Mike Neufeldt, Barb Unruh, Vada Snider, Cindy Lehman, Lois Voth, Jean Flickinger, Janet Neufeld, and John Juhnke . 34 ADA MAE HAURY Greg Claassen practices ventriloquism with his dum- my, Jess Malarkey, Greg used Jess in his informative speech to demonstrate some of tiie techniques of ven- || triloquism; he took first place in that event at Nebras- 1 ka Wesleyan University. David Abel, Mike Neufeldt, and Barb Unruh, Fine Arts — Speech And Drama Drama And Reader ' s Theater Drama students gained experience both on the stage and behind the scenes this year in a vari- ety of ways . Four major productions (the fall musical, spring opera, and two plays) and sev- eral smaller dramas provided entertainment and food for thought for the Bethel community. The smaller productions included a contem- porary drama called Kennedy ' s Children, a Christmas play, an Easter drama, and several student-directed one act plays . Kennedy ' s Children, by Robert Patrick, set in a small bar in the lower east side of New York City, portrayed through a collage of monologues the effects of the decade of the 1960 ' s on a variety of characters . These indi- viduals were played by Irene Ediger, Lois Voth, Troy Siegfried, Sara Fretz, Ken Boehr, and Deb Lehman. John Savoia was their direc- tor. The Long Christmas Dinner, was pre- sented for the Christmas Banquet in early De- cember. Written by Thornton Wilder and di- rected by Warren Harris , a new member of the Speech and Drama faculty, it spanned a period of ninety years in only thirty minutes . The ef- fects of the passage of this time on one mid- western family were illustrated by looking in on some of their Christmas dinners through the years . The aging characters were portrayed by Cindy Lehman, Janet Neuf eld, Johnjuhnke, Don Patterson, Kirk Belt, Deb Lehman, Jayne Belk- nap, Jean Flickinger, Cynthia Toews, Mike Neufeldt, Lori Peters, and Kim Grubbs. Deb Lehman and Loren Mitchell perform in one of the one - act plays directed by drama students in the late spring . Christ in the Concrete City. by P.W. Turner, was presented in area churches during the Easter season. A cast of six (Carol Sue Stayrook, Cynthia Lehman, Gwen Flickner, John Flickinger, Carl Edwards, and Tim Voth) presented the Easter story through an interplay of three viewpoints — the Biblical, the univer- sal, and the personal. Arlo Kasper was the di- rector . 36 ARLO KASPER Drama A diversely talented group of Reader ' s Theater students consisting of (from top to bottom and left to right) Jim Flickinger, Steve Schmidt, Jenny Harms, Marcia Kroeker, and Doug Unruh presented many programs to local church, school, and comonunity audiences. Fine Arts — Speech And Drama Drama Fall Festival weekend saw four perfor- mances in Krehbiel Auditorium of the longest running musical in American theater history: The Fantasticks , by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt. In its eighteenth year off Broadway, this stylized fantasy was presented here at Bethel College under the stage direction of Arlo Kasper and the musical direction of Marilyn Epp . The first act followed the escapades of two young lovers; it ended on a rosy note because their fathers actually approved of their match. However , in the second act , the boy and girl had to learn of the harsher realities of life before they could make a real start together . In contrast to this presentation of an already well known and frequently presented musical, the next major production of Bethel was a world premiere! Columbus, the Admiral, by Larry Sadowski, former student and instructor at Bethel, was presented in late October under the direction of Arlo Kasper . Set in Valladolid , Spain, in 1506, the play explored the psycho- logical and personal reasons behind Colum- bus ' s perseverance. Although the story was based on historical characters , the action was primarily fictional, consisting largely of flashbacks from Columbus ' s memory. The controversial play The Wild Duck, by 19th century Norwegian playwright Henrik Ib- sen, was the drama selected for presentation in mid-March. Director Warren Harris ex- plained it as the story of a photographer, Hjal- mar Ekdal, who was persuaded by a long-for- gotten acquaintance, Gregers Werle, to take a wholly idealistic view of his past . His resulting inability to cope with reality formed the main problem around which the plot revolved .

Nevin Miller The Man Who Dies Dwight Schmidt The Wild Duck History And The Social Sciences The behavior of man, the social animal, in the past, present, and future, is a popular area of study at Bethel College , as indicated by the increasing interest in the Division of History and the Social Sciences. This popularity re- sulted in the improvement of several of the de- partments within the division this year . The Department of Economics and Business Administration developed a new emphasis in accounting and also continued to make im- provements in the area of agricultural studies . Barbara Lehman joined the faculty; Ted Stuckey was also employed to teach Tax Accounting. The History Department acquired the ser- vices of Jim Minninger and President Harold Schultz to help fill in for Keith Sprunger , who was on sabbatical, studying and writing in Eng- land and Holland. As in previous years, J. Lloyd Spaulding took students to Williamsburg, Virginia, during interterm to learn about colo- nial America . Wearing goggles that distort his angle of vision , Mike Nach- tigal tries out one of the activities at the psychology booth at John Yoder, newly elected associate district judge in Newton, joined the Political Science Department to teach United States Govern- ment. An ever increasing number of majors con- tributed to an increase in course offerings in the Psychology Department. Jim Bestgen be- came a part-time instructor in the department to provide some assistance for Doug Penner. After spending the last semester of the 1975- 76 school year in Latin America on sabbatical, Howard Snider of the Sociology Department re- turned to the Dominican Republic with some students during interterm for more travel, work and study . The Division of History and the Social Sci- ences thus offered students a wide variety of approaches to the study of man and his social interactions. Providing important perspec- tives in liberal education, it should continue to grow stronger in years to come. Fall Festival. Janelle Matthies observes as he attempts to throw a ball at a target.

Because of Keith Sprunger ' s absence , he de - parted from his usual concentration on American history to teach those classes surveying the history of Western civilization , Applied Sciences The Division of Applied Sciences, with em- phases on practical and career-oriented skills, encompasses a wide variety of disci- plines . The Department of Health, Physical Educa- tion, and Recreation gained a new acting chairman this year in Duke Barnes; Paul Thiessen was another new faculty member. In addition to preparing majors for teaching and coaching careers, the department sought to teach the value of sports to non-majors, providing them with lifelong skills to help in keeping them physically fit. The Home Economics Department in- creased its course offerings to provide a greater variety of options for students. The department has been growing and adapting to meet the needs of both men and women in their changing roles in society. A new graphic design program, the photog- raphy lab, and alternative energy equipment were among the resources utilized by the In- dustrial Arts Department in providing a vari- ety of experiences for students interested in the field, either avocationally or as prepara- tion for an occupation. The Secretarial Studies Department en- couraged non-majors to enroll in typing and shorthand courses. The department empha- sized that competence in these practical skills could enhance the career opportunities for almost any major. In addition to field experience in individual careers and community organization, the So- cial Work Department added several new placements in social agency administration. William Vandever became the new director of the Teacher Education Department, which expanded this year to include a new program in Early Childhood Education, with Kathleen Rich as instructor. The total teacher educa- tion program was evaluated by a state ac- creditation team this fall. Other faculty: Teacher Education: ROYCE BRUNK, BETTY HOLDERREAD. Physical Education: PAUL THIESSEN. Phil Fuller, Kerry Cook, Fred Schrag, and Jill Ewert work to increase their speed and accuracy in typing.

Nontraditional Education The Division of Nontraditional Education provides learning experiences for students in nontraditional ways or settings. It also ca- ters to nontraditional types of students. Through the Contract Degree program, more than ten students over 25 years of age were involved in working on degrees by earning credit for not only college work but also non- formal learning gained through experience. The Department of Continuing Education also offered a wide variety of options for persons wishing to enhance their previous educational experiences . Nearly all Bethel students became familiar with at least one aspect of the Division of Nontraditional Education: the twice -weekly convocation series. A variety of speakers and programs were planned to help build community, provide experiences which broaden horizons, and allow for the explora- tion of basic value issues. (1976-78 CATA- LOG) Also included under the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies was the Capstone Seminar, required of all seniors. In the first year of using a new format, students ex- plored the issues involved in the energy shortage . Some students received credit for learning gained through work or service under the Ex- periential Learning program. Over fifty stu- dents were involved in some aspect of the program, which included Service Learning and major field internships . The Department of Environmental Studies provided a multi-disciplinary course of study, involving both the natural and social sciences , for students desiring to gain an un- derstanding of the relationship between the environment and human life quality . Drawing upon the Mennonite heritage of nonresistance, the Peace Studies Department also offered a multi-disciplinary appr oach to the study of human conflict resolution. Nu- merous lecturers came to the campus during the year to provide insight on a variety of peace-related topics. In particular, a num- ber of visitors provided expertise on various aspects of overseas development during the interterm course on alternative models for development. Robert Kreider, after a sum- mer trip to the People ' s Republic of China, also offered new perspectives, both in this course and in other programs . This was the third and final year of grant support for the development of Bethel ' s pea- cemaking and conflict management program through the federal Fund for the Improvement of Post- secondary Education (PIPE). This year Ernst Harder, PIPE administrative as- sistant, worked to extend the impact of Beth- el ' s peace emphasis beyond the campus by organizing a series of Continuing Education programs that were made available to churches and schools . Flanked by a picture of Mao Tse-tung and other examples of Chinese propaganda, Robert Kreider prepares to show slides of his trip to China . He presented this convocation on ' ' The Last Summer of Chairman Mao ' • in fall. • 4 A CAMPUS FOR PHCE BETHEL COLLEGE i, Faculty members for the Division includ- ed: ROBERT KREIDER, WILLIAM KEENEY, and DWIGHT PLATT. Duane Goossen observes as Kathy Stoesz explains the strategy of the Prisoner ' s Dilemma game to a Fall Fes- tival visitor at the Peace Studies booth.

One of StuCo ' s pro- jects this year was to open a coffeehouse in the basement lounge of Haury Hall. The walls were paneled with wood from the old house which was dis- mantled by student volunteers . Betty Regehr, Janet Balzer, Mike Doerk- sen, Ann Balzer, and Wendy Wiens ponder the issues of intervisitation policy and the Haury Hall security system at a joint meeting of the Haury Hall and Goering Hall dorm councils. The dorm councils acted as advisory- policy groups with re- spect to dormitory activities and manage- ment. 53 Thresher Collegian Yearbook staff: Duane Goertz, Photographer; Jim Harder, Photographer and Men ' s Sports; Jan Niles, Editor; Carl Edwards, Music and Social Sciences; Norma Peters, Applied Sciences and Women ' s Sports.

Christian Peace Fellowship Chapel Etc. Russ Schmidt, Dan Sawatzky, and Brent Koehn listen to Donald Kaufman of the Commission on Home Ministries of the General Conference Mennonite Church speak on the subject of taxes that pay for war. The Christian Peace Fellow- ship, under the leadership of Dan, Brent, and Bryan Saner, held periodic meetings to inform concerned persons about a variety of issues re - lated to Christian peacemaking . Some other campus organizations also provided opportunities for involvement, altiiough they may not have been as active as other clubs. Among these were Clio, the history club , named after the Gre ek muse of history: MENC (Music Educators National Con- ference), opeai to upper class students planning to teach mu- sic; and the Social Work Club, for majors wishing to become better acquainted with profes- sional concerns. With Richard Toevs accompanying them on the piano , students join together in worship through singing at one of the weekly Wednesday morning chapel programs . Many students also formed small Bible study or discussion groups to enhance their college religious life . 61 1976-77 Miscellany Left: Ms. Galen Epp flirts with an attractive young male (s)he has spotted in the supper line.

Organiza- tion was the keyword of this conglomeration as they held together handsomely through the first half of the season, with tingling antici- pation of capturing the Kansas Soccer- Foot- ball League crown. But, alas, it was not to be. Instead the Hesston Soccer club beat them to the punch (0-2) -- their first loss in six games -- and eventually won this coveted award. Bethel ' s International Soccer Club ended the season respectably, however, with a 6-win, 2- loss, and 2 -tie record overall, and a 3-2-2 rec- ord in the Kansas Soccer-Football League. Four inspiring, super- talented young men acted as captains of the team this year: Mel Adisu, Robert Harder, John Muthama, and Pat Voth. Robert also placed third in the Kansas Soccer- Football League in individual scoring with eight goals for the season, while Mel placed fourth with seven goals. Coach Thiessen also played in every game and even good-naturedly gave himself a taste of his own medicine on the practice field. 70 John Harder, Robert Harder, and Paul Thiessen Bethel 5 3 4 0 2 2 4 1 1 0 0 2 3 5 9 1 3 0 0 0 Fall 1976 Wichita Soccer Club McHierson Soccer Club Wichita Wheathawks Derby Soccer Club Hesston Junior Varsity Hesston Soccer Club Wichita International Salina International Sterling Soccer Club Derby Soccer Club ' ' Kansas Soccer-Football League 0 S 71 Football It was a year of shattered individual and team records for the preseason-favored Bethel gridmen, yet somehow, as the final gun of the year sounded after an arctic night in Dodge City, the Threshers found them- selves with no better than a 5 win, 4 loss re- cord - good for a respectable yet disappoint- ing KCAC third-place tie. Lackluster first-half offensive perfor- mances and excessive turnovers repeatedly prevented the otherwise explosive Threshers from winning the games needed to recapture Bethel ' s first official KCAC championship that was so sadly denied them last year just as they were perched on the verge of tri- umph. Bethel will lose only five starters to gradu- ation for next year, but it will also lose the man who, in his five years here, built an ha- bitually poor team into a football powerhouse which won 18 games and lost only 9 on the field during the past three seasons. Head Coach Jim Corns announced his resignation in December to go into private business. Jerry Clark was once again the outstanding workhorse of the record -setting team running offense, rambling for a single season indi- vidual rushing record of 1214 yards and smashing the college ' s individual career re- cord with a cumulative 2178 yards - as a ju- nior! If the offense was erratic at times, the de- fense saved the show by putting on one of its own and earning a tenth-place ranking among all small colleges in the nation. Dale Russell and Jerry Clark won honorable mention All- American awards, and nine KCAC or District 10 first-team positions were filled by Threshers . Front Row: J. Howard, E. Davis, B. Dooley, A.

Each girl played a different style of tennis, and Coach Paul Thiessen managed to combine their talents to come home from tournaments with some results . At the ACCK tournament, Becki Schmidt received second place in No. 3 singles, and Paula Goering and Chris Jantz took second in No. 2 doubles. Becki placed third in No. 3 singles at the KCAC tournament, while Paula and Chris also won third in No. 2 doubles . The girls voted Becki Schmidt as the most valuable member of the team .

The girls were the undefeated first-place team in the KCAC. This accomplishment qualified them for the KAIAW Small College Regional Play- Off in Wichita, where their competition consisted of Fort Hays, Benedictine, Ottawa, Emporia, and Sterling. They defeated every one of their opponents and returned home with the championship trophy. South Dakota State University then wel- comed Bethel as the number one team from Kansas to the Region VI AlAW Small Col- lege Tournament. There the girls played against the top two teams from South Da- kota, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ne- braska, and Missouri. After many tiring and tense days, they were able to claim fifth place out of a total of fourteen teams. It was a fitting finish to a great season - - only four games were lost out of the 81 which were played - - and a fitting tribute to a great team and coach!

Team play marked the single -season tenure of Lanoy Loganbill as head coach. Frequent substituting gave everyone a chance to play, a chance to learn, and a chance to rest. The Threshers had no consistent super- stars, as league statistics would suggest; each game generated its own heroes for the night. For the season, however. Ken Shine (14.7) and Brad Krehbiel (11.9) led the team in scoring and were selected for Honorable Mention standing on the All-KCAC team. The Junior Varsity went 9-9 under coach Lowell Monke, even though several of his players moved up to the Varsity during the year. Bethel will lose four senior starters to graduation, but there are more experienced Threshers waiting in the wings .

Directed by Walter jost (music) and Arlo Kasper (drama), the light-hearted production was an operatic adap- tation of one of Shakespeare ' s plays. The plot centered on two merry wives of 15th century Windsor, England: Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page. Because of his improper romantic advances, they planned and executed revenge against the repulsve and fat Sir John Falstaff; they also hoped in the process to teach Mrs. Ford ' s extremely jealous husband a lesson. Their goals were cleverly accomplished; and, meanwhile, the Pages ' daughter Ann also slyly obtained her own goal, marriage to her true love Fenton, against the wishes of her parents , who preferred her other suitors. Slender and Dr. Cajus. The opera concluded in Windsor Forest where a chorus of townspeople assisted the Fords and Pages in playing one last trick on the foolish Falstaff by masquerading as spooks and spirits .

Yet , as time passes , these images will tend to fade away into the darkness. Perhaps the 1977 THRESHER will help to illu- minate some of those half -forgotten memories . As each of us looks back to this year , we will realize that, in some way, it helped to shape the rest of our lives. The seeds which were sown and nur- tured - - the new experiences , new ideas , and new or renewed friendships - - will be producing harvests we will be reaping for many years to come . The familiar BC logo depicted on the front cover suggests this analogy between the processes of agriculture and the processes of education : the de - sign may be interpreted as an abstrac- tion of a threshing stone or a pile of books. Both the agricultural and aca- demic heritages of Bethel College are important aspects of its tradition; the early history of each is briefly traced in the introductory pages of this book . This book as a whole owes its exis- tence to every member of the Bethel community, whose presence helped make the year what it was. Those who were most directly involved in the THRESHER ' S production deserve spe- cial mention , however . Photographers Jim Harder, Duaije Goertz , and John Hobbs were responsi - ble for the most important part of any yearbook, the pictures. I ' d like to thank them, especially Jim, and Mike Hinz and Chuck Buller, who also pro- vided a few pictures in times of need. Jim Stucky of Photographies took the portraits of students and faculty , while Monica Gross, Director of News Ser- vices , kindly allowed the use of her re - sources . Thanks also go to staff members Nor- ma Peters and Carl Edwards for their efforts in the preparation of their re- spective pages. John Leslie provided copy on the International Soccer Club , and Dennis Kaufman assisted in the selling of ads. Registrar Vemelle Waltner and other faculty members were also very helpful in providing in- formation. Of course, I must also thank John Sheriff, THRESHER advi- sor, and the American Yearbook Com- pany representatives , for their support and patience . And, last but not least, I must ex- press my gratitude to Linda Shelly, 1976 THRESHER editor, for her help and advice . I also have her to thank( ? ) for getting me into this . May I also ask your forgiveness for any and all errors or omissions, and your understanding for the slightly strange organization of this book (i.e., a separate section for spring activities which could have been more logically included in other sections of the book) . Since this book was originally planned for spring delivery, so space for cover- age of spring activities was reserved in the main parts of the book . Thank you , JANNILES, Editor 136
