TAPESTRY The slim thread of our being uneven and knotted in places smooth and strong at others is spun and colored. Whatever we have taken in twists itself into the thread. We relax and coil and stretch as we grow. We are wound and bound and stretched be- tween 2 Although we find ourselves as one body, we are separate — each a delicate, different colored thread each moving in and out in our own directions. Interlocked. We move separately, but together we dance an intricately patterned tapestry, our colors sometimes so subtly different we can hardly tell one from the next. Cut from the warp we see how tightly woven we have be- come. Beaten together our selves have formed a muted tapestry and though we are cut from the loom we do not loosen and unravel. Our threads are strong although they may weaken, fray and split with time. we are now still new and taut. Our coming together has strengthened us and made us more than when we were loose and separate threads. Our weaver has bound us closely. ACADEMICS At Bethel, academics is more than just stu- dents, studies, instructors, and administration; it is the inter-relationships that exist between these elements and the way in which they weave themselves together. The pattern that emerges consists of many things: minds opening up to new concepts and renovating old ones; the dis- covery, development, and use of talents; and de- cision making that affects the present and future. As a Mennonite liberal arts college. Bethel emphasizes a weaving together of the many as- pects that make up our world. A vital dimension of a liberal arts education is the spreading out of instruction into a variety of areas and then inte- grating it all into a single pattern. Majors in twen- ty-eight fields plus programs in pre-professional and career-oriented occupations are offered. Students can choose their classes from over 200 courses offered on campus each year. Bethel tries to meet the needs of the students attending. These efforts range from placing ce- ramics on the interterm schedule at the last min- ute upon student request, to the decision to establish a four year nursing program. Bethel hopes to give students the chance to develop the patterns for their individual lives, while at the same time giving them the freedom to chose to use the threads of Bethel ' s people, activities, and ideas to make that design. President Harold Schultz Each year the fabric of life and learning at Bethel has its own special design, but the basic pattern of scholarship and service continues to stand out. That tradition is as old as Bethel and yet equally appealing in our 91st year. This year the wholeness that is part of the Bethel tradition was experienced by a people at play at Fall Fest, the sharing of spiritual pilgrim- ages in chapel, MDS flood cleanup in Kansas City, scholarship and performance honors in many fields, and in celebrating a home floor vic- tory in our new gym. At Bethel it has always been possible both to pray and to question. To believe and to think brings faith and learning together and permits education to be an integrative rather than a frag- menting experience. — Harold J.

Consisting of alumni and friends who have financially invested in Bethel, this group meets annually. At their Fall meeting reports by Harold Schultz, Larry Voth, and Corporation chairman Melvin Voth were given. The shareholders were allowed opportunity to raise questions and discuss issues re- lating to the policies and future of Beth- el. Another primary decision making group for Bethel College is the Board of Directors. This group of elected and ap- pointed persons is responsible for the planning, development, and manage- ment of the college. Several major ac- tions were taken at the October 6-7 Board meetings. Included in these was the acceptance of low bids for the new Student Activities Center. The Board also approved plans for immediate steps to be taken in the establishment of a Nursing (B.S. degree) program.

Carl Helrich enjoyed a unique phenomenon this year — a physics class with a majority of females — in his new Physical Science for Poets and Philosophers class. Wayne Wiens and students traveled to Oregon to study marine biology during interterm. The effectiveness of the science departments was also enhanced this year by some new equipment. Robert Schmidt rejoined the facul- ty after a sabbatical year. And, the meetings of biology, chemistry, and physics seminars were combined to form a natural sciences seminar, allowing majors the opportunity to hear a wider variety of topics. Rannie Goering carefully records observations in a chemistry lab experiment. Steve Linscheid studies the structure of a cat in an Organismic Biology lab. Dwight Piatt Wayne Wiens Biology 21 Applied Sciences The division of Applied Sciences involves six diverse areas where the emphasis is in gaining knou ' ledge of general principles used in specific situations. Included are Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Secretarial Studies, Teacher Educa- tion, Physical Education, and Agriculture. A new focus of interest has been added this year to the Industrial Arts department in the form of a Graphic Arts lab, the offset press having been purchased with funds provided through the Development Drive. It was put to use during the second semester. Also an area of interest this year was an interterm course in Playground Structures during which students studied, de- signed, and built creative playground equipment for a local Day Care Center. Another interterm course studying solar energy models featured a week in New Mexico visiting different sites while the remainder of the time was used to construct solar energy collecters. In the Home Economics department, the high- light of the year was a two week ACCK Home Economics tour during interterm. Over thirty studens traveled west to the Los Angeles area to visit garment and textile industries, food process- ing plants, and interior decorating and housing businesses. The Teacher Education department, headed by William Vandever, has been going through an evaluation period and changes for the depart- ment in the future seem possible. This year, four weeks of observation were added to the Social and Political Foundations course in an effort to help prospective teachers become familiar with actual teaching practices. Barb Graber took the position as chairperson of the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation department. The program includes many activity classes, first aid, and all the various varsity sports.

A special feature this year was an interterm course in Batik taught by Mike Almanza, which enabled students to concentrate all their efforts on creat- ing beauty and design with wax and cloth media. The ceramics students this year, under the di- rection of Paul Friesen, explored aspects of the field that are often overlooked. They collected and processed some of their own clay and ex- perimented with different methods of firing. Hand building and wheel thrown processes were explored. Work on the wheel was continued in a ceramics interterm class. Although art is most fully appreciated by the artist, many people were able to enjoy the work done by Bethel students. End of semester dis- plays and senior exhibits gave others the oppor- tunity to view the work that had been done throughout the year. Through frustrations, criti- cisms, and accomplishments, students grew in an awareness of the field of art as a vital thread in the patterns of life. Reinhild Janzen joined the staff second semes- ter as teacher of art history. Robert Regier Miguel Almanza Students watch closely as instructor Paul Friesen removes a pot from a primitive cow chip firing.

Fine Arts Music The vocal music department spread their res- onant sounds from the towns of Moundridge and Inman to the cities of Krefeid and Warsaw. The two major choirs performed in many churches in the area. The highlight of the year for Choral singing was a European tour by 30 members of the College Choir. The interterm tour consisted of concerts in Austria, Germany, Holland, Luxembourg, and Poland. Madrigals made two trips to other Menno- nite communities during the Spring semester. A weekend was spent in the Beatrice, Nebraska area, and then a more extensive tour in South Dakota and Minnesota during Spring break. Don Kehrberg directed the various instru- mental groups. The sounds of the concert band and jazz band pleased audiences wherever they played. Short tours gave the surrounding areas the chance to hear the Bethel bands. Perfor- mances at the gym dedication, groundbreaking ceremonies, Christmas banquet, and ball games integrated music into the other Bethel activi- ties. There were, of course, many small groups which organized. Numerous vocal and instru- mental ensembles performed during the year. Much work, however, was not done in groups, but rather by individuals. Hours of practicing and private lessons helped students perfect musical talents. From individual recitals to large group concerts it was again proved that music is an important part of the Bethel design. J. Harold Moyer Dept.

Because the ability to speak well is vital for communicating in our modern world, a course in public speaking is a general education requirement of Bethel. Under the direction of Ada Mae Haury stu- dents enrolled in Public Speaking and Oral Interpre- tation discover and develop necessary skills. Students with a broader interest in speech can en- roll in forensics or debate. The forensics-debate squad, in spite of disappointments, had a very exciting and successful year of tournaments and perfor- mances. Portions of the squad attended tournaments almost every week and in the first five months alone brought home over sixty trophies. The Reader ' s Theatre class was large enough to divide into three groups this year. Each group pre- pared several full-length program scripts for perfor- mances. The students presented programs on campus during Fall Festival, in convocation, in chapel, in the HUB, and at the Christmas Banquet. Other programs were given in area churches and for local club meet- ings. One Reader ' s Theatre group, made up of Shirley Un- ruh.

The play is a tragedy woven around a particular variant of the folk ballad Barbara Allen ' which tells of a human (Barbara Allen) and a witchboy (John) who fall in love. John, after seeing Barbara Allen, goes to the Conjur Man and Conjur Woman to ask them to make him into a human. This they do with the condition that Barbara Allen must remain faithful to him for one year or he will turn back into a witch and Barbara Allen will die. When Barbara Allen has a witch child for a baby the religious community, obsessed with a fear of witches, learns that John was a witch. They also discover the condition under which John became a human, and on the night before the year is up they compel Barbara Allen to be unfaithful. Throughout this tragedy the hillbilly humor, religion, and music are interspersed to play a major role. The director for the production was Warren Harris with Arlo Kasper and Cindy Lehman as technical director and stage manager, respectively. Conjur woman, you gotta make me human.

O Gawd, we come here to-night with sorrer in our heart. They is sinners in our midst. We ast fer mercy fer the sinners on the mourner ' s bench. Git on yer knees and confess yer shame! Humanities The Division of Humanities is the academic section which concerns itself with gaining knowledge of man and his culture through reli- gion, philosophy, literature, and languages. Al- though the individual departments often seem to have little in common, the concept of under- standing man is woven into each different area. The Bible and Religion Department was ex- panded this year with Perry Yoder joining the faculty as teacher of New Testament Geek. John deGruchy, visiting professor from the Universi- ty of Capetown, South Africa, taught during the Fall semester. His unique experiences and in- sights were climaxed in his sharing as guest lec- turer of the Menno Simons Lecture Series. This was Alvin Beachy ' s last year of teaching. We want to acknowledge his years of teaching as a vital contribution to the academic program. Debbie Hunsberger continued to teach Ger- man this year. John Pannabecker joined the Language Department to teach French. Stu- dents were also able to take Spanish at Hesston. In math, Arnold Wedel again taught the 7:30 a.m. Calculus classes and expounded math prin- ciples using the adventures of Herman Bubbert. Robert Neufeld served as the Director of Com- puter Science. The English and Philosophy Departments continued with the same instructors as last year; John Sheriff, Raylene Penner, Anna Juhnke, and Warren Harris in English, and Harold Gross in philosophy. Because of the increasing role of T.V., radio, and other forms of media in our society Bethel added a Communications Department in the Humanities. The program, headed by Diane Umble, is still in the development stage and will be expanded in the future. Diane Umble John Pannabecker Communications French As part of a communications course, students were able to broaden their understanding of careers in communications through a panel discussion. 36 Perry Yoder reviews the words on a vocabulary quiz in New Testament Greek class.

This required course in the English department encourages the development of skils in reading, research, critical thinking, and writing. 38 History Social Sciences An area of rapidly growing popularity has been the division of History and Social Sciences. An ever-increasing number of students have joined the search for man ' s behavioral patterns through study and exploration in the follov ing diverse areas: History, Political Science, Economics and Business Administration, Psychology, Social Work, and Sociology. The History department at Bethel not only provides a knowledge of past and present civil- izations, but also examines methods of historical interpretation and writing. History can prepare the student for teaching at both college and high school levels, and it is often used as background for law, the ministry, business, and library sci- ence. A highlight for the department this year was a trip to Russia under the leadership of Keith Sprunger. Aside from providing the participants with excellent historical material, the tour gave them the opportunity to experience an alterna- tive life style. Jim Juhnke was on sabatical this year doing research on missions for the General Conference. The department of Political Science includes studies in political theory, government, political parties, and finance. This year, interviews were conducted to hire a trained political scientist to strengthen the department. The department of Economics and Business Administration studies decisions made in the market through the operation of usiness firms, included in this department is the associate de- gree in Agriculture and the agricultural programs connected with Kansas State University. Keith Sprunger Doug Penner History Psychology The goal of the Psychology department is an understanding of the behavior of organisms. Stu- dents investigated the aspects of behavior and the methods used in gaining a larger understand- ing of the area. Characteristic of the department are the large General Psychology classes which initiate the student into the field, and the various experiments being conducted by majors throughout the year. An ever-growing program since its accredita- tion in 1976, the Social Work department now has forty-two majors working for one of three degrees offered by the department. Field place- ments and special interterm trips such as the one to Denver this year allow students to work with agencies such as child abuse, child guidance, and welfare. Although the new emphasis on Social Work has diminished growth in the Sociology depart- ment, many activities in the area of Sociology have taken place this year. A trip to Colombia, South America was on the agenda for interterm. Led by Howard Snider, students traveled and ex- perienced life in another culture under the sponsorship of a Columbian organization. A committee of interested people, also led by Howard Snider, organized a very successful Latin American Conference at MacPherson College which was attended by about 100 students from area colleges. The activity within these various departments is indicative of the importance of the division as an integral part of a liberal arts education. Be- cause of its diversity and emphasis on under- standing the complexity of human life, the divi- sion of History and Social Sciences is able to speak to all students regardless of their own area of concentrated study.

Non-traditional Education Non-traditional education at Bethel College came about as a result of encouraging a variety of creative methods and approaches to education, and thus provided educational experience in non-traditional ways or settings. The various de- partments under the division of non-traditional education include Continuing Education, Envi- ronmental Studies, Experiential Learning, Inter- disciplinary Studies, and Peace Studies. Th e department of Continuing Education in- volves, among other things, aiding persons in the completion of a college degree and providing opportunity for further exploration of personal interests and life enrichment after formal educa- tion. William Keeney served as Director of Cont. Ed. for the 1977-78 year. The Environmental Studies program and the Peace Studies program are the only two depart- ments within this division to offer academic ma- jor programs. The Environmental Studies pro- gram is designed to develop an understanding of environmental systems and an appreciation of the relationship of man ' s environment to the quality of human life. Students in Environmental Studies concentrate on courses in either the Nat- ural Sciences or the Social Sciences. The Peace Studies program draws from the non-violent, peace-making heritage of Bethel as a Mennonite College. Understanding of the nature and causes of human conflict, the factors which contribute to peace, and the processes by which conflict can be managed creatively are major emphases. Study is geared toward an understanding of con- flicts at all levels of society. A special feature of the Peace Studies department is its required in- ternship within a conflict situation. This year Curtiss Goering finished his internship in Isreal and Ron Flickinger began his in Columbia. The department of Experiential Learning pro- vides learning in situations other than the class- room. More than ten students were involved in some aspect of the experiential learning pro- gram. Interdisciplinary Studies involves that area of the Bethel experience well-known to all as Con- vocation. Another area of this department is the Capstone Seminar. Capstone encourages stu- dents to integrate their major field with a major global problem. The Women Enrolled at Bethel program gives women in the community the opportunity to continue their education. This year over 100 women participated in a variety of courses ranging from tennis to discussions on middle age. The Peace Studies Seminar class, instructed by Duane Frie- sen, discuss whether the perfect love demonstrated by 42 ■fit i Sidney Lens, peace lecturer, presents the sober- ing reality that America has placed itself and the world in grave danger because of nuclear weap- ons. As part of Continuing Education, community persons, 60 years of age and older, meet every Wednesday for fellowship and study on differ- ent topics. Known as Life Enrichment, this program enables senior citizens to continue learning in a rapidly changing world. In conjuction with the Western District Conference, Bethel spon- sored a Peace Lecture Series which brought nationally known persons on campus. The five speakers in the series were Bernard Lafayette, John deGruchy, Sidney Lens, LaDonna Harris, and Donovan Smucker. Open to the Bethel community, the evening lectures were preceeded with a dinner so that persons might become better acquainted with the lecturer. Jesus is a practical basis for ethics.

We rocked in our corners And raised up voices in fear and in longing For what we had left. Until that first moment When we heard a voice Singing in sadness . . .

To unwind from interterm studies Bethel offered students a ski trip to Colorado before second semester began. Al- though the trip was meant to relax, the skiers discover that cross country skiing is also work and need to take a rest. 73 ACTIVITIES HANDS Hands are for communicating They ' re for helping and creating Hands are for resting and for raising They ' re for praying and for praising Hands are for voting, yes or no For waving good-by or saying hello Hands are for patting, stroking, assuring Hands are for working, trying, enduring For pointing the way, giving directions Also for clapping, appreciation Hands are for holding a pencil and writing They ' re our special tools, sent from above Hands are for giving and sharing our Love. — Rose Roberts A New School Year Begins First Week Activities Debra and Jonathan Frank are wel- comed to Bethel College by Marion Deckert and Harold Schultz at the The new school year with its students and faculty are greeted with a desert social sponsored by the Newton community churches. Pie and cake were plentiful, as were many new and friendly faces. During the watermelon feed Rannie Goering, Rick Voran, and Jeff Becker catch up on what happened during their summer vacations. 76 Ice cream and the drifting sounds of the Thresher Jazz Combo provide the perfect setting for meeting the people who will make up the Bethel student body. 77 Delbert Wiens - Fall Festival A People At Play Are a pious people allowed to play? This ques- tion was reverberated throughout the 1977 Fail Festival (Oct. 7-9) in conjunction with the theme A People at Play. Guest convocation speaker Delbert Wiens, from Fresno, California, opened the weekend of activities by sharing humorous and thought provoking autobiographical sketch- es. His illustrations developed the idea that as God ' s children we must not miss out on the fun of living. Convocation was followed by the cor- nerstone laying ceremonies for the new gym and groundbreaking for the Student Activities Cen- ter. The cool, overcast morning brightened into sunshine for the afternoon events. Organized team competition in volleyball and Almost Any- thing Goes naturally evolved into games of fris- bee, jumprope, and spontaneous water fights. Clear skies and cool weather on Saturday pro- vided the backdrop for a spattering of displays, departmental exhibits, and the assembling of over 5,000 people. Events throughout the day included activities for all ages that were both educational and just for fun. Highlights included the sale of ethnic foods, auctioning of a grandfa- ther clock and quilts, musical groups from area high schools, and the Thresher Jazz Band. The Bethel Soccer Club tied with the Wichita Soccer Club (2-2) in an afternoon game. In the evening, the football team claimed a 20-13 victory over Friends, delighting a stadium packed with enthu- siastic Fall Festival participants. The activities for the weekend were brought to a close with the Sunday morning worship ser- vice at the Bethel College Church. Modeled after a baseball game, the service included nine innings, a pep band, and refreshments. Reflec- tion upon the weekend and the meaning of be- ing God ' s creation led to the conclusion that a pious people of God are not allowed to play — they are commanded to play. With this in mind, all were admonished to make the spirit of play a part of their pattern of daily living, proving themselves to be God ' s People at Play enjoy- ing His love. We must live out the larger dance — the rhythm of life, death, summer, winter, work, worship, and play. Dwight Peters and Carol Schroeder cheerfully soak each other with watered-down Nerf balls during one of the many Fall Festival activities. 78 More than 5,000 guests attending Fall Festival create a colorful pattern on the Green Arthur Frey, retired staff member, and Marcia Kroeker, student body president, unveil the cor- nerstone plaque for the new gymnasium at the cor- nerstone laying ceremony. Due to the generosity of Bethel Board members in purchasing thirty shovels, all could participate in the groundbreaking for the new Student Activities Center. Guided by Terry Regier and Sherry Dunn, blindfolded Almost Anything Goes competitors struggle to rrianeuver the earthball around a tree obstacle course. Their outstanding skills in this and other events won them first place and the coveted chocolate cake award. mm 1 More Fall Fest Don Gaeddert takes the I.Q. test offered by the Minority Cultural Center. Administering the test are Rosalind Ridgnal, LaSheila Ray, and Harold Prin- gle.

Joining other craftsmen in demonstrating their skills, Janet Moyer creates intricate designs using a traditional Ukrainian meth- od of dying eggs. 80 ii No festival is complete without food, especially for a people at play. The Tabor Mennonite Church of Goessel, KS provided savory barbecued chicken feast for the Saturday evening meal. The Thresher Jazz Band provides afternoon entertainment for Fall Fest participants. Karl Ensslen, Wuppertal exchange student (center), with the help of the German Club, broadens cultural horizons by offering Reibekuchen, a delicious German food. -1 ' • ' ' Mi- ' ' JPPEi TAL 81 Story Theatre ' a collection of Aesop ' s fables and Grimm ' s fairy tales, was the drama produc- tion for the 1977 Fall Festival. Due to the unique raked (sloped) stage and the lack of detailed props, the play depended heavily on the audi- ence ' s ability to imagine what the actors were trying to convey. Complex lighting and a variety of sound effects were used to help the audience become involved in the play. The stories pre- sented included The Little Peasant ' Henny Penny ' The Master Thief ' The Fisherman and His Wife ' and The Golden Goose. Al- though the majority of the people who attended viewed it only as entertainment, the play had strong annotations on social justice which were laced throughout the fables and songs. However one looked at it, Story Theatre was very well received, with much credit going to director Arlo Kasper. Musicians Deb Shank and Tom Hiebert. Story Theatre cast: Daria Vogt, Mark Seward, Annette Juhnke, Cindy Lehman, Kirk Belt, Carol Sue Stayrook, Ann Bartel, Ken Boehr, Sherwin Frey, Lou Thimes, Jr., John Goertzen, Preston Goering, and Paula Unrau. 82 If you would join me this night in Paradise, come, climb into this sack. Yes, I am your lost son. But I have become a thief. No, not a common criminal, I am a Master Thief. Inside the castle the count and countess were pre- paring for bed. And drugging them with sleeping potion mixed in wine, the Master Thief stole the horse right out from under the soldiers guarding it. 83 Christmas Banquet The evening ' s entertainment climaxed with the produc- tion of the Christmas opera Amahl and the Night Visi- tors. Here, Amahl (played by Scott Neufeld) presents his crutch to the three kings (played by Don Krehbiel, John Juhnke, and Brad Jantz) as his gift to the baby Jesus. In the background, the page (played by Steve Miller), bows his head. Amahl and his mother (played by Lennie Voth) rejoice together in the miracle that has taken place, enabling him to walk again. Dressed for the formal occasion, students enter into the spirit of the special evening with smiles and laughter. The Madrigal singers and a Readers ' Theatre group help to bring to life the theme Christmas around the World through story and song. Here the Madrigals, under the direction of Walter Jost, sing carols from many lands. 84 i Survival, a bi-weekly minorities newspaper, was published to allow mi- norities to express themselves as a whole.

The Religious Life Team, consisting of students and faculty, met weekly to plan activities and programs. Members were Amy Rinner, Sheri Unruh, Jane Friesen, Greg Fast, Brent Koehn, Barb Un- ruh, Alvin Beachy, Lori Voth, Marilyn Klaus, Don Gaeddert, Brad Jantz, Annette Richardson, and Jerry Weaver. Aside from weekly chapel services, many students orga- nized to form small group Bible study prayer groups. During the year there were also several retreats and conferences which individuals attended. There were service opportunities, such as MDS clean-up after the Kansas City flood. Another way in which many students were involved was through par- ticipation in the numerous fasts. The dining hall reimbursed money for students not eating, and this money went to various poverty organizations. A vital dimension of religious life, how- ever, did not consist of organized activities. Jerry Weaver, campus minister, was always available for counseling. And, of course, there were the many hours of friends discussing, ques- tioning, and searching for what it means to be a Christian. 88 A variety of chapel srvices were planned. Individuals told of personal pilrimages in faith, guest speakers from the seminaries and Voluntary Service came, and groups such as Reader ' s Theater gave programs. Singing was a regular item in every service. The House Uv Bethel (HUB) Coffeehouse served as a place for studying, sleeping, or playing. It was also used for concerts, programs, films, chapel services, and just as a place where friends could get together to talk. 94 Math Club KBCT Peace Club Math Club members, top to bottom and left to right: Dave Wiebe, Jerome Stucky, Donovan Regehr, Steve Goering, Mike Adrian, Russ Fast, Jerry Linscheid, Jon Unruh, Kathy Stoesz, Maria Wiens, Donna Kope, Dave Boldt, Darlene Auernheimer, Rannie Goering, Robert Neufeld, Tim Graber, Karen Voth, Chris Jantz, Dennis Kaufman, Arnold Wedel, Jon Jantz, Dan Flickinger, and Mark Rempel. 1 1 V Lou Thimes sorts through stacks of records to be played over KBCT, the campus radio station.

It also gives students a voice so that ideas and opinions can be expressed, felt, and responded to. This year $10 out of each individual student ' s fees went toward the publication of the yearbook and $8 toward the COLLEGIAN costs. Unfortunately, the full potential for these publications was not realized this year due mainly to the costs of publication and the negligible amount of participation on the part of the student body. The future of these important aspects of college life de- pends upon the concern of the students. It is our hope that enthusiasm for the year- book and paper will rise in the future.

Every person who joins together v ith others to create that tapestry has potential and is in a constant process of grov th and change. Colors dim, brighten, contrast, and finally merge together in one unified pattern that is complete because of it ' s individual members. Since all the threads en- courage and support each other, the improve- ment of facilities that effect a change for the better in the lives of some provides a basis for broadening the lives of others. Recognition of this and the fact that the facilities of the physical education department have long been inad- equate prompted the decision to incorporate the building of a new gym and the purchasing of new equipment into the Development Drive. After not having a game played on campus for 30 years, the new gym is helping to increase enthu- siasm for the various inter-collegiate sports in which Bethel participates. In this way, the impor- tance of physical development is woven into the tapestry and made a part of the BC pattern. Football The 1977 football season had its ups and downs but it was a good year. The Threshers ended with a Conference record of 7-1 and an overall record of 7-2. They placed second in the Conference. As it turned out, the first game of the season was the most important; the loss of this game cost Bethel the Championship. It was still, however, an outstanding season. During the year 27 team or individual records were set or tied. Special honors were awarded team members as follows: Elijah Davis, Outstanding Defense; Chris Qui- jano. Outstanding Offense; jerrel Howard, Best Blocker; and Marlon Heggs, Outstanding Fresh- man. Five men were named KCAC All-Confer- ence from Bethel. They were Jerrel Howard (unanimous), Marlon Heggs, Chris Quijano, Eu- gene Babb, and Elijah Davis, jerry Clark and Phil Everett received Honorable Mention. Two Beth- el players, Jerrel Howard and Eugene Babb, also made the All District 10 team.

The Threshers ended the season as KCAC co-champions with Tabor. In Conference play they finished with a record of 15 wins and 1 loss, and an overall record of 24 wins and 11 losses. Returning players were Marcia Kroeker (Sr.), Lori Erb (So.), and Sandy Kaufman (So.). The rest of the starting line-up included Lisa Habeg- ger, Kathy Stucky, and Pearl Wendland. Bethel team members voted KCAC All-Con- ference were Marcia Kroeker (unanimous) and Sandy Kaufman; Lisa Habegger was voted KCAC Honorable Mention. Marcia Kroeker was award- ed Most Outstanding Player and Best Senior, and Cindy Krehbiel received the Most Improved Player award. Coach Barb Graber was awarded KCAC volleyball coach of the year.

Returning netters this year were senior Becky Schmidt and sophomores Paula Goering and Carol Schroeder. Also on the roster were seniors Sandy Gerstenberger and Elmira Mitchell and freshmen Sharon Franz and Sheila Ediger. The netters had a rough season — after win- ning the first match, injuries, illnesses, and tough competition proved to be a great handicap. However, these problems did not stand in the way of personal victories. This year ' s Most Valu- able Player award went to Paula Goering, and the Most Improved Player award to Sandy Gersten- berger.

Enthusiasm for the game was so high this year that two teams had to be organized to accommodate all the players: the Bethel Soccer Club ( A team) and the Bethel Thresher Soc- cer Club ( B team). Both teams had a good season with several outstanding individual accomplishments. Robert Harder was high scorer for the A team with 17 points and Steve deGruchy for the B team with 12 points. Factors contributing to the successful season were the good attitude of the players and the support of the many Bethel soccer fans. The A team ended the season with 8 wins, 6 losses, and 1 tie and the B team with 3 wins and 3 losses.

He never expected to burn up the league and the Threshers didn ' t. Despite re- markable teamwork and plenty of hustle, they were only able to muster seven wins and sixteen losses overall. They looked a lot better in confer- ence play (7-9) — good enough for a fifth-place tie with Sterling in the nine-team Kansas Colle- giate Athletic Conference. Top scorers for the Threshers were Ken Shine and Mark Stephenson, averaging 11.7 points apiece per game. Mark was also selected for Honorable Mention on the All-KCAC team. Ron Blanton coached the Junior Varsity to a strong 10-8 overall record this season. Graduat- ing senior Ken Shine will be greatly missed, but the rest of the hopeful squad should remain in- tact for next year. President Harold Schultz, Director of Development Larry Voth, coach Barb Graber, and Director of Athletics George Rogers address a full house at the gymnasium opening ceremonies. The huge crowd came to see the Threshers win their first home game in the new gym. 112 I Keith Ri nrij and ' K ' n Shine MEN ' S RECORD Bethel 61 98 Marymount 68 77 Concordia State Teacher ' s College 61 65 Phillips University 76 84 Goshen CoIIeee 65 71 Bluffton College 63 67 Bethany 90 67 Kansas Wesieyan 76 83 Kansas Newman 63 71 Friends University 64 59 Southv estern 58 89 Kansas Newman 79 72 Tabor 74 72 Sterling 80 64 McPherson 66 70 St. Mary of the Plains 80 69 Bethany 80 92 Kansas Wesieyan 76 80 Southwestern 76 82 Friends University 75 86 Tabor 71 87 Sterling 69 71 McPherson 81 71 St. Mary of the Plains Keith R lw els, E 113 Women ' s Basketball Team.

Returning players were Senior Val Klaassen and Billie Kaufman and Sophomore Lori Erb. These three were backed up by hard working newcomers. For the fourth year in a row Val Klaassen was unanimously selected as an all- League performer on the KCAC team. She holds the Bethel career mark for scoring. Val averaged 13.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Lisa was Bethel ' s leading scorer and rebounder averaging 14.8 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. Lori Erb earned honorable-mention all-league honors. She led the Threshers in shooting percentage making 46% of her shots throughout the season. Team honors this year were as follows: Mary Dietrich, most improved player; Kathy Stucky, most valuable defensive player; Lisa Habegger and Val Klaassen, most valuable offensive players; Val Klaassen, most valuable all-around.
