Following the convocation a series of Almost Any- thing Goes games were held on the green in the wet grass. The sun appeared on Saturday for the main activities of fall festi- val featuring the traditional craft and learning fair with spinning, woodcarving, rug weaving, pig butchering and academic exhibits attended by over 7000 people. The sports events were disap- pointing for football fans, with Bethel losing the game with Sterling 17-7. For soccer fans however, the opposite was true with Bethel beat- ing Bethany 2-0. The play this year, Harvey, prov- ed to be a very popular attraction. Despite the scheduling of three per- formances, tickets for all three shows were sold out early in the week. An important part of the festival was the wide variety of foods, such as zwieback, monster cookies, Dairy Queen, the chicken barbe- cue and the traditional german meal. The yearly auction proved a suc- cess with the highest priced item, a quilt, made and donated by the First Mennonite Church of Newton, going for more than $2,000. Musical events are also a well enjoyed part of fall festival. Fea- tured on Saturday were the Gospel Choir, the Jazz Band, Plowshare and the Threshing Machine. 4 T f HARVEY Is here such a thing as an in- visible, six-foot white rabbit that answers to the name of Harvey? This seems to be the main ques- tion raised in this year ' s Fall Festi- val production of Harvey, a three- act comedy directed by Robert L. Clack. Harvey deals with a man thought by his family to be neurotic because of his loyalty to a constant companion, Harvey. The scales are turned in the end, however, when the possibility is presented that maybe just such a character exists. STUDENT ACTIVITY CENTER The Student Activity Center plays a central part in the daily life of Bethel, as it houses such necessities as the dining room, bookstore, snack bar and game room. The 1982 senior class boasts the distinction of being the first class to use the SAC for four years and is one of the few points on campus where both resident and non-resi- dent students regularly congregate either for daily meals or merely to stop in for a snack or to get minor essentials at the bookstore. One new addition to the SAC this year was a new director, Jim Huxman, formerly of the Admis- sions office. Other additions were a color TV in the snack bar, a re- arrangement of the serving line in the dining hall, and the latest video games in the game room. 10. 1. Mark Kroeker shoots a gome of pool. 2.

Fes- tivities included La Bienvenida and La Despedida preformed by the Reader ' s Theatre Department. The Madrigal Singers sang dur- ing Las Posadas and also pre- sented a synthesis of dance and folk music in Ariel Ramirez ' s Misa Criolla. La Fiesta da Navi- dad included breaking of a pi- nata, more songs and stories and a folk dance by Ron Brunk and Sharon Koehn. The Mexican menu was provided by El Ser- vec ' o de Las Comidas del Oesfa (Western Food Service.) 1. The Madrigal Choir performs a South American Chrismas mass en- titled Misacriola . 2.

Searching for those an- swers, biology students diligently study such courses as Cellular Biology, Genetics, and Develop- mental Biology. Seniors keep busy preparing their seminar re search projects. Long hours spen working in the laboratory is an- other part of the biology experi- ence. During this year, major equipment has been purchased for the department and phase II of the renovation of Science Hall has been completed. Dwight Piatt, Professor of Biolo- gy- Professor of Biology, Wayne Wiens. Paul Kaufmann gives his pet a friendly scratch. Chemistry New additions made 1981-82 a memorable year for the chem- istry department. New equip- ment was purchased, and the department was given a new en- vironment. Students are. now able to use an atomic absorption spectrophotometer and a gas chromatagraph with flame ion- ization detector. The old office and neighboring lab space have been completely redesigned and renovated to provide more space. 61 Physics The physicist is never com- pletely satisfied in knowing what happens without knowing why. The aim of the Physics Depart- ment is to provide students with an understanding of the basic laws of physics and their appli- cation. Classes and lectures are also designed to cultivate a stu- dent ' s enjoyment, curiosity, and exploration of the surrounding environment. Bethel offers a pre-engineer- ing program based in the Physics Department which is coordinated with the engineering schools at the University of Kansas and Kansas State University. While at Bethel, the student is able to acquire a strong liberal arts background essential to ap- proaching many problems en- countered in modern engineer- ing. 1. Carl Helrich, Professor of Physics. 2. Carl Helrich works on an experi- ment in the lob. Math The Math department this year boasts four new computers, four Commander 832 Dual disc and printers. The computer program is an increasingly important part of the math program and fea- tures a variety of course offer- ings such as Introduction to Com- puters, Fortran, and Cobol. 1. Ron Headings helps Herman Bubbert with his homework. 2. Arnold Wedei, Math Professor. 3. Richard Rempel, Math Professor. English The English Department en- courages students to learn how to write correctly and to under- stand the art and human values in literature. The department of- fers a variety of courses includ- ing Expository Writing and Eng- lish Review. A communication minor is also offered through this department, which is an asset to any major. Last year the depart- ment took a tour to London, Eng- land and plans are being made for a future trip. The English Department also works with the Learning Resource Center located at the very top of the Ad Building. The Learning Resource Center provides individ- ual tutoring and larger supple- mental reviews to help students in other courses. 1 } 1.

Director of the Learning Re- source Center. 64 Languages The Language Department prepares students for high school teaching, for graduate study, and provides basic language training for those interested in careers in other fields. Students in the Language Department are encouraged to spend time a- broad, and because of its small size, special programs can be designed around individual stu- dent needs. Currently, the lan- guages being taught at Bethel are French, German, Greek and Spanish. 1. Debbie Hunsberger, Professor of German. 2.

' iiiiiaMaaMMfli Philosophy — A love of wisdom is one quali- ty philosophy students might pos- sess. Philosophy classes provide a setting for serious interchange of ideas among students and be- tv een students and teachers. Philosophy has an important critical and integrating role to play in a liberal arts curriculum beyond the type of education it provides for a philosophy major. Marion Deckert is the new ad- dition to the department. The 1981-82 term marks his first year as a faculty member. A small group of wisdom-seeking stu- dents met monthly to discuss the philosophy of science. 1. Marion Deckert, Professor of Philosophy. ' 2. Students in the In- troduction to Philosophy class are contemplating their existence. Bible and Religion The Bible and Religion Depart- ment, headed by Duane Friesen, is designed to offer numerous op- portunities for students growth in awareness of self. One of the highlights of this year was hav- ing George Brunk as theologian in Residence. New Testament Studies, the class he taught dur- ing interterm, let graduate and undergraduate students all work together. However, this depart- ment offers courses besides just those for Religion majors. Several classes are offered for general education requirements. One of these classes, Basic Issues of Faith and Life— or BIEL— is, as Duane Friesen says, the highlight of senior experiences i 1. Perry Yoder and Duane Friesen, Professors of Bible and Religion. 2.

Art A major addition to the Art department this year was the opening of the new ceramics lab in the basement of Memorial Hall. Previously ceramics students shared a room with sculpture and other classes in the Fine Arts Center. Shown on this page is some of the handiwork from this new lab. Gail Lutsch, a new art instructor, taught classes such as water color which have not been offered before by the depart- ment. 1. Robert Regier relaxes in his of- fice. 2. Robert Regier, Paul Frie- sen and Gail Lutch are the Art instructors. 3. Gail Lutch was a new addition to the Art Department this year. 4. Conrad Snider and Gail Lutch put up a display in the li- brary. « Music The various choirs of the music department were again very ac- tive this year with their perform- ances. The Madrigals supplied the music and gave entertainment at the annual Christmas Fest ban- quet, Bethel College music stu- dents put on an opera in the spring and the Oratorio Chorus gave their performance in May. The high point for the College Choir this year was an interterm trip to Europe, touring and sing- ing in four different countries. Drama Learning by doing is the motto of the Drama Department. This department provides students with training and practice in all areas of dramatic production. Student casts and crews brought five major productions to the Bethel stage. Summer theater workshops are offered in con- junction with the Newton com- munity theater. The department lends technical support to the National Shakespeare Company, a major touring company whose performance here include the Joeffry II Ballet and P.D.Q. Bach. Drama students are involved in other activities besides acting. The National Dramatic Fraterni- ty, Alpha Omega, has been re- instated at Bethel. They have taken trips to broadway tour shows in Kansas City and Wichita. 1. Bob Clack and Arlo Kasper, Drama Professors. 2. Bob and Arlo discuss the set for the production of Shadowbox. 70 Economics and Business This year the former depart- ments of Economics and Business Administration and Secretarial Studies combined to form the de- partment of Economics and Busi- ness. This was also the first full year of operation for the Busi- ness Insights club which was or- ganized in the spring of 1981. Karl Simpson, head of the Eco- nomics and Business department, wished to emphasize through his courses the practicability of knowledge learned— which, he said, aids the learning process and which ultimately helps grad- uates secure jobs congruent to their goals. This year the Eco- nomics and Business department had eighteen graduates. Ron Brunk and Karl Simpson are on the faculty. History The Historian ' s task, accordinq to Clio, the muse of History, is to recall the deeds of the past and bring them to life again while enlivening them with pres- ent concerns. The History program encom- passes about twenty students and boasts eight senior History ma- jors. After specializing in tours to the USSR for several years Keith Sprunger led the first European Capitals tour of about thirty stu- dents during Interterm. The department also expand- ed career preparation to include courses in Oral History and Ar- chival Management and con- tinued building an archive on the Vietnam War using oral his- tory interviews, photos and video tapes. A special Vietnam Seminar was taught by James Juhnke in the fall. Clio gesta canens transactvi tritipnra rcddit Clio, singing of famous decdi, restores the past tn life. 1.

Bethel offers only a minor in Political Science and there are about six students involved in the program. The department is manned by Charles Benjamin who studies politics on a wider scale as he enters the second year of his five year Harvey County Commission term. The Political Science depart- ment at Bethel is integrated into the college with a particular em- phasis toward the Peace Studies and Environmental Studies cur- ricula. Dan Friesen gives a class presenta- tion in the fall World Problems class. 2. Charles Benjamin, Professor of Political Science. 73 Psychology Why do humans behave as they do? That is the question the Psychology Department tries to answer by giving students a bal- anced and objective viev of hu- man behavior. The Bethel Psy- chology Department has been gradually turning their facilities into a respectable laboratory. In the new lab, students will be able to study child and social be- havior using Bethel ' s radio equip- ment. The department has added new equipment for conditioning research which can be tied into the computer. Besides giving lectures, the Psychology professors are also busy with their own research. Doug Penner is currently re- searching aging and the Men- nonites. Dwight Krehbiel is work- ing with the Garvey Foundation in Wichita on the biochemistry of behavior. 1.

This department ' s goal is to develop an awareness of society and to think scientifically about society. Some changes have occurred in the department this year. Courses have been modified to reflect the International interest. The Wichita weekend was a new program that began in the spring. This program consisted of students spending a weekend in Wichita conversing with of- ficials about housing problems and governmental issues. 1. Dr. Howard Snider, professor of Sociology. 2.

Diane Umble teaches communica- tions classes, coaches debate and is the Collegian and Thresher advisor. r 76 Social Work The terms reflection, para- phrase, confrontation, and inter- pretation become familiar to stu- dents in the Social Work depart- ment. This department provides students with opportunities to use those and other skills learned in class. The new Peer Counseling Service gave people a chance to talk with someone they trust or to let off steam. To gain more practical experience, seniors work at institutions such as Scho- walter Villa, Bethel Hospital, Midkap, or Prairie View. In a time when our society is becom- ing more complex and urban, the Social Work department is preparing students to deal with the rising tensions and crises of this society. Donna Neufeld, Don Schmidt and Miller Stayrook serve as the Social Work professors. 77 HPER The Health, Physical Educa- tion, and Recreation program is designed to develop— in students majoring in physical education— the competencies necessary for successful performance as a physical education teacher and in graduate studies. This pro- gram is also designed to develop in each Bethel College student, for the activities selected, the skill knov ledge, and emotional com- petencies v hich encourage con- tinued participation and enjoy- ment following the college years. Secretarial Studies Secretarial Studies can be an important asset for anyone who is interested in the working world. Bethel offers a two year Associate of Arts Degree in this area and requires the Business Education Majors to learn the skills. Students can choose Exe- cutive Secretary, General Busi- ness or Accounting as their areas of interest. Some of the fun activities they have done are the Balloon Booth at Fall Fest and the upcoming 7th Annual Business Skill Contest for High School Students. This contest has been requested by their teachers as a way of en- couragement. The Secretarial Procedures in Administration Class plans and organizes this busy day for over 200 students. A new addition to the depart- ment this year is a Word Pro- cesser. 1. Tish Palacioz and Nancy Schrog use the new word processors. 2. Ruthann Dirks, Instructor of Secre- tarial Studies. 3. Mrs. Dirks shares some tips with typing students. 79 Home Economics Bethel offers students the op- portunity to major in Home Eco- nomics education or General Home Economics with an option in foods and nutrition, clothing and textiles, housing and equip- ment, family and child relations or consumer economics. Improve- ments made during the past year— the chairs were replaced in the lecture classroom, an over- head demonstration mirror was added and the appliances re- placed in the foods lab. Bethel college home economics majors are active in the Bethel Home Economics Club, the state Home Economics Student Section of KHEA and Kappa Omicron Phi, a national honorary which recog- nizes outstanding Home Eco- nomics students. Industrial Arts Energy is one topic studied by students in the Industrial Arts de- partment. As a part of the ener- gy studies, students designed and built a solar system green- house to heat the Industrial Arts annex and to use as a teaching device. Bethel sponsored a trip to energy-related projects and programs in Colorado and New Mexico during interterm. Sites visited by the group included a nuclear power station, solar buildings, and wind turbine test programs. The department is al- so proud of the photography lab, which is perhaps the best educational lab in the state ac- cording to Emerson Wiens.

Nursing In the spring of 1982 Bethel College saw its first seniors in the nursing department graduate. This fairly new department, which was added to Bethel four years ago, has continued to grow with more and more prospective nursing students being enrolled each year. The twelve graduat- ing seniors along with their nurs- ing instructors have certainly un- earthed a lot of ground and have helped to pave the way for the future nursing graduates of Bethel College. 1 1 The Nursing Staff: Jean Hershey, Jan Newell, Janlee Blosser, Donna Becker, Lea Gilles, Sue Kehler, qnd Julia Quiring. 2 Bethel junior nursing students. 3 The Nursing staff meets to dis- cuss the program. Teacher Education Students in the education de- partment were involved in vari- ous activities throughout the year with the highlights being a math workshop in Wichita, a learning factory workshop and helping with the special Olympics. Thirty- nine new graduates were pro- duced from the department in the fields of secondary education and elementary education and four with K-12 certificates. 83 Peace Studies The Peace Studies Program in- cludes the study of global relo- tionships, conflict between per- sons, groups, institutions, and na- tions. It is designed to give the student an understanding of the nature and causes of human con- flict, the factors which contrib- ute to peace with justice, and the processes by which conflict can be managed creatively so as to bring about fundamental social changes. An exciting as- pect of the Peace Studies Depart- ment this year was the interterm trip to Washington, D.C., with the Peace Fellowship group. 1.

Many colleges and universities have older than the average students, which proves there is truth to the old saying. Bethel is no exception; older students are seen on the BC campus. Bethel also has a special group of elder- ly students. These are the senior citizens v ho come to the Life En- richment sessions every Wednes- day. By eating in the cafeteria, other students have the oppor- tunity to talk with and to learn from these Life Enrichment folks. Many will reap the benefits of this Life Enrichment program.

Read- ers Theatre, coached by Ada Mae Haury, is a group of stu- dents who meet twice a week. During these meetings, these stu- dents practice expressing them- selves as characters in different scripts. The groups range from beginners to advanced students. These groups perform approxi- mately fifty times during the se- mester for clubs, convos, schools, and other organizations.

AFTER THE RAIN The fall drama, After the Rain, was performed on the Bethel stage November 19, 20, and 21. Taking place two hun- dred years in the future, After the Rain, was presented as a lecture series to members of the society. This history lecture in- structed society members and re- habilitated criminals to re-enter society. Arthur, one criminal, breaks the society ' s rules by kill- ing himself. This action raises moral issues from which the audi- ence draws their own conclusions. This production was a unique Bethel experience for both the cast and the audience. To make the play a total experience, an- nouncements of Bring the pris- oners or Are the prisoners ready were made in the foyer prior to showtime. Artifacts such as silverware, a burnt pencil, and the cardboard tube from a roll of toilet paper were on display. No curtains were used and the props and set were at a mini- mum. During rehearsals, the cast learned mime techniques and were instructed by a hypnotist how to act like patients under hypnosis. For collectors of Arlo Kasper trivia, After the Rain was the some play he used in his doctoral thesis. society Lecture Series Lecture II AFTER THE RAIN Directed by - = = ■- = = = Arl KasPert Leading Lecturer in the History e i the Community Assisted by - = = = = = Mark Weaveri Assistant 1 Dawn Abrahamsi Assistant 2 The f lliwine criminals have volunteered ta present the characters: a Captain Hunter =========== Kendal Warkentine n Arthur Henderson =========== Will lam Schmidt n Gertrude Forbes Ci pcr -=====-== M nika Laewen a Tiny Batch =======-====== Roger W.

CLACK Lighting Design by THANE CHASTAIN Cistume Design by JANICE GOERING and ROBERT L. CLACK Football Although the Bethel College football team started out with a loss, ended up with a loss, and lost every game in between ex- cept one, their season was not totally all for naught. Why? Be- cause the game that they did win was against one of their oldest and toughest rivals ever. Tabor. Winning that game makes the rest of the season not seem so bad, stated center Tim Conrad. I don ' t care so much anymore that we lost every other game, beating Tabor was worth it. The Threshers, although they had a rather disappointing sea- son, placed four of their mem- bers on the all-KCAC football team. They were: Randy Mc- Pherson — first team defensive lineman; Larry Cole — second team linebacker; Mike Kaufman — honorable mention offensive lineman; and Ron Reber — honor- able mention defensive lineman. Each year the Threshers also give out individual team awards. This year the recipients of these awards were: Keith Collie — Top Offensive Player; Randy McPher- son — Top Defensive Player; Mike Kaufman — Best Blocker; George Leary — Top Freshman; Nathan Hart, Jerold Heidi, and Ron Reber were the Un-sung Heros; and the three most im- proved players were Jerold Hei- de, Joe Cramer, and Weston Van Beck. Quarterback Dan Frye, trying to find an open receiver, en- joys the time that his offensive line is providing for him. Although they weren ' t the best in the league, the Thresher defense did hold it ' s own when their help was needed. Senior tailback Lyie Strait was called upon many times like this one dur- ing the season. With sophomore quarterback Dan Frye at the helm, the Bethel Threshers prepare to mount a charge. Football Nathan Hart played an important role in the Thresher offense this year, as many times he was called upon to get some points on the board. Alternating between fullback and tailback, fresh- man Keith Collie, number 33, earned the honor of offensive player of the year for the Thresher gridders. 104 VOLLEYBALL The Bethel College Volleyball Team: Front Row: Gwen Harms, Judy Un- ruh, Lisa Loeffler, Lori DeGarmo, Brenda Weber.

The description could begin with a list of accomplish- ments by the 1981 team: Pre Season Gussie Invitational at Tulsa 1st Bethel Invitational at Bethel .... 2nd Hurricane Invitational at Tulsa 1st Conference Undefeated 1st Siafe Undefeated 1st at Oklahoma . . . .1st Nai ona s First time in Bethel History 3rd Overall Record . .51-5 But this alone is not sufficient, a tradition is not built in one year. There are many elements which come together to form the Bethel College Volleyball Team. Past players building the tradi- tion—making the footprints, all players working to improve their total person— spiritually, emo- tionally, academically and physi- cally, building the character it takes to represent Bethel College with pride and class. As Bethel Volleyball head coach, Diane Flickner admits it is difficult to find just the right words to describe her team. have a lot of respect and love for them. I am also very proud of what they ' ve done on the court for themselves, for me and for the institution. Anyone who experiences this tradition, as coach, player or spectator, leaves with the knowl- edge that he or she has been a part of something special.

After being ranked 9th, 7th and 4th in the nation at various times and earning the 6th seed at the actual tournament, the Bethel Volleyball Team didn ' t stop until they took 3rd place, leaving only one team they had faced unbeaten. A common philosophy behind the Bethel Volleyball tradition is as follows: Together we can climb moun- tains, dream dreams, and even play volleyball. This year, ' The Class of 198T scaled the moun- tains to new heights, understood what it was like to live a dream, and, more than anything else, they played volleyball the only way they knew how— with ex- cellence. 108 WOMEN ' S TENNIS Tennis is an individual sport and requires a strong mental at- titude as well as physical skill. The Bethel College Women ' s Ten- nis Team is a good example of both. The 1981 team found suc- cess as they combined many in- dividual victories to form team accomplishments. Having their best season ever, they finished with a conference record of 7-1, placed 2nd in the KCAC Confer- ence Tournament, and took many individual honors.

Ill r 3r Cross Country The Bethel College thinclads had a rather quiet season this year as most of the time they were participating in meets with- out a full team. We started out with a full squad, commented second year runner Tim Lohrentz, but after our first and second meets we began losing people left and right. If the season would have con- tinued as well as the first two meets had, the thinclads would have had a tremendous year. In their first meet, a duel with Mc- Pherson, Bethel placed three of their runners in the top four places, and in their second meet, a five-mile race at Hesston, they repeated their previous feat, but that ' s when the injuries set in. For their next meet, which was in Manhattan, they had only four persons run, three men and one woman. The woman that participated in the K-State meet was Angie Smith. She was the first woman to ever compete on the B.C. team, and she did well. In fact, in her last meet, the KCAC meet, she placed eighth with a time of 22:17. 112 The Soccer Team ' s defense did a fl e job by holding their oppo- nents to on average of less than one goal per game. The Bethel Soccer Club came away with a very successful ' 81 fall season, as they finished with an overall record of 8-2-1. Their only blemishes were 0-1 losses to the Aztecas and Hesston Col- lege, and a tie with the Wichita Independents early in the sea- son. In their league, which is the Division II of the Kansas Soccer League, they finished with a record of 5-1-1. That excellent posting gave them sole owner- ship of the league title until next spring when they will put their title on the line with a new sea- son. The keys that made the Thresh- ers go were their outstanding defense and their well-balanced, explosive offense. Their defense held their opponents to a total of eight goals all season, while their offense marked up a total of 35. Eleven different players scored at least once, and Ken- ton Wiens led the team with twelve. Intramural Winners and Standings MEN ' S FLAG FOOTBALL FINAL STANDINGS 1.

Luncheon 11-2, Dinner 5-10 Open 7 days Reservations suggested on weekends Pictured Kiere is tlie Bethel tree, a design soon to be seen on many Betliel publications. This design has been chosen to become a visual symbol for Bethel College in the next few years. The design is symbolic of Bethel in that the many parts (leaves) make up the whole (tree), as Bethel is made up of many different people, departments, majors, etc. There is diversity and separation yet overall unity. The tree suggests life and growth as Bethel is a living and growing community. The tree also suggests the concept of a family as within the Bethel family context. 121 RED COACH MOTEL • 54 Rooms • Restaurant • Indoor Swimming Pool • Color Cable TV 283-9120 MOTELS 1301 E. 1st Mid-Kansas Rentals Authorized U-Haul Dealer 1801 N.

The Shadowbox There are many feelings ex- perienced by a dying person as they see their life coming to an end. They go through many stages of self denial, anger, bar- qainihg, depression, and then finally accept what is happening to them. But inside they never seem to give up hope. This play dealt with three dying people and their loved ones who suffer- ed with them. COTTAGE ONE o® Lance.

THE IMPRESARIO featured Kris Hiebert as Madame Goldentrill, a retiring opera star, and Arlene Jantz as Miss Silverpeal, an as- piring actress. In this comedy, Mr. Angel, played by Brad Eber- ly, gets caught between these two sopranos as they compete for the same role with an opera company. The second opera, GIANNI SCHICCI, centered around the Donati Family. A wealthy family member dies leaving all his pos- sessions to the friars. His angered relatives hire Gianni Schicci, played by William Schmidt, to pose as the deceased and write a new will. Contrary to the rela- tives ' wishes, Gianni writes a will in which he leaves everything to himself.

Robb stated, It may have taken awhile for the new system to catch on, but once it did, we started doing better. Better is just how they did, as the Threshers finished off the season winning three straight, in- cluding a spectacular Yes-l-did- dunk-it-at-the-buzzer victory over conference leading Tabor, as James Poarch slammed down the winning bucket as time ran out. What is the outlook for next year? Looking at who the team is losing to graduation, Curtis Bonds, James Poarch, and Steve Klassen, one might say that the next year might be a rough one. But ask head coach Jim Robb, and there is a touch of optimism in his voice. He states, Our of- fense was designed so that they (Bonds, Poarch, and Klassen) were very important. Of course we ' ll miss them, but somebody will step in. The J-V suffered through a rather disappointing season as they won only two games throughout the year. A lack of big men hurt the young team greatly, but the outlook for in- coming students is good, so hope- fully things will go better next year. 1. Junior Mike Wedel played an important role in the overall com- posure of the Threshers throughout the season. 2. The Number One goes up as James Poarch and Steve Klassen celebrate after dunk- ing conference leading Tabor 64- 62. 3. Steve Klassen, one of the three seniors on the squad, played consistently all season v hich was a great benefit to the Thresher squad. 4 Curtis U.S. Bonds turn- ed out to be a dominating force inside, and led the team in scoring with an 18 ppg average. -Women ' s Basketball The 1981-82 season was one filled with ' ups and downs for the Bethel College Women ' s Basket- ball Team. The final 7-15 record does not tell the whole story be- hind the young squad. It was a year of rebuilding, a year of frustration, a year of triumph. With a new coach at the helm and only three returning players, the Threshers saw a new team begin to take shape. According to head coach Dave Deutschen- dorf, the new players proved to be a real strength as they im- proved and filled the gaps. Re- turning players Judy Unruh, San- dy Hiebert, and Lori DeGarmo helped the team with their ex- perience and provided leader- ship. The future holds promise for the young Thresher squad, as they continue reaching for their potential. 1. Nancy Van Hoozier. 2. Gail Ratzlaff. 3. Penny Burford. 4.

Sandy Hiebert. -Men ' s Tennis — Highlighted by the fact that they placed second in the KCAC conference tournament, and by the fact that they sent two of t heir players, junior Kevin Lehr and freshman Todd Esau to dis- trict playoffs, a first for any team from Bethel, the men ' s tennis team had a very successful sea- son. Number three, Wendel Funk, number four, David Weaver, number five Jeff Balleau, and number six Marvin Kim also did well during the season and play- ed an important role in the high finish of the team at conference. One more highlight of the sea- son was the fact that the head coach, Paul Thiessen received Coach of the Year honors in the KCAC. This award was given as a result of his team going from last place in the conference to second place within the course of a year. The outlook for next year is very good, as the Threshers will have everyone returning. Add a few new recruits in the hat and the netters will be looking for- ward to another great season. 1982 Men ' s Tennis Team: Back row— Coach Paul Theissen, Jeff Balleau, David Weaver, and Wen- del Funk.

The Bethel College Track Team saw many individual improve- ments, including school records broken in both the 400-meter and metric discus events by Deb- bie Regier and Tim Conrad re- spectively. About half of the 35-member squad qualified for districts, v hile both the women ' s medley and mile relays put in an im- pressive performance in qualify- ing for National competition. Graduation May 23 will be a day the class of 1982 will remember. That was the day they were a- warded the degrees they had worked hard to earn. The com- mencement exercises held on that Sunday marked the achievement of one goal for the graduating class. Graduation day began with baccalaureate services planned by the graduating students fol- lowed by a noon buffet for the seniors and their parents. Com- mencement exercises began in the afternoon after the seniors took the traditional march a- round the green. When We Get Where We ' re Going, Will We Be Where We Want to Be was the topic of the commencement ad- dress given by Marilyn Miller, co-pastor of the Arvada Menno- nite Church. Others appearing on the platform during the cere- mony were Rev. Phil Chastain, pastor of the Dellrose United Methodist Church in Wichita, Registrar Melvin Goering, Aca- demic Dean Robert Hinshaw, and President Harold Schultz. Music was provided by the Bethel Col- lege Wind Ensemble and Choir. 150 y ■ 1. Following the ceremonies stu- dents, graduates, parents, profes- sors and friends flocked outside for some fresh air and fellowship. 2. The College Choir performed several numbers before the award- ing of degrees. 3.
