Ex Lib n s f vL-M ' fl 4? u. He sendeth the springs into the val- leys, ivhich run among the hills. ' Psalm 104:10 THE 1948 COMMONER WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN UNIVERSITY Bryan Hill Dayton, Tennessee 1 1 RAMP — tramp — tramp go the feet of youth. down the halls of Bryan, over the hills of conquest, through the fields of accomplishment, and up the mountains of experience. Ever tramping, ever climbing, they press toward the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus. To picture but a few steps of this unending hike, to feel the soundless swish of grass against the boot, to bump against the rock ' s unyielding hardness, to toil ever manfully against the grade, and, finally, to .experi- ence in mind again a mountain-top communion with friend and God — this is our purpose. «4 To one whose hiking through this world has carried him from America to China in the service of his country, and from California to Tennessee in the service of His King — to one whose life and teaching have been a source of instruction, encouragement, and bless- ing — to Earl Williamson, Comptroller and Instructor in Bible, spiritual leader, and Christian friend, this volume is dedicated in devotion and respect.

George had his education interrupted for a few years while serving Uncle Sam in the Air Force. Upon return- ing to Bryan, he has been Mayor of Vetsville for the past two years and has handled the job very commendably, at the same time occupying a place on the Dean ' s List almost without fail. The C. S. A. work has been benefited by his willingness to fill in wherever he might be needed. The foreign mission fields are soon to secure real workers for the Saviour ' s glory when George, Mrs. Birch, and Nancy enter full-time service.

Joyce first came to Bryan in the fall of ' 41 and was with us for three years, when her education was inter- rupted because of illness. Upon her return to school this fall, she has again become a deeply appreciated member of the Bryan family. Included in our fond memories of Joyce will be her entertaining readings, which she presents so enthusiastically. Joyce looks forward to glorifying Him in some definite form of Christian service.

Elaine ' s desire to serve the Lord ha s been shown by her active interest in Child Evangelism and the work of the Foreign Missions Fellowship during her four years on Brj ' an Hill. She is appreciated by those who know and love her because of her faithfulness and willingness to help when called upon. Athletics have claimed part of Elaine ' s attention, and she has given much of her time and energy to winning points for the Scarlets. P. S. — We might add she is right at home in the kitchen. «4 26 Tltc 1948 Commoner SENIORS GLORIA MARIANNE CLOER Plainfield, New Jersej Lay Ambassadors 1 ; Child Evangelism Fellowship 4; F. M. F. 2, 3, 4; Choir 2; Camera Club 2; Forensic Union 1, 2: Journalism Club 1; Commoner Staff 3; Archery Club 2 : Gold. Glo ' s sweet disposition and quiet testimony have been a r eal part of Bryan. A hard worker, she gives of herself in her willingness to cooperate with everyone in anything. When it comes to talent, she has a knack of writing that is surpassed by few on the hill. A true cre- ative spirit is brought out in the things she writes ; perhaps, some day this very thing will be used to interest lost souls in Him. The first thing she plans to do when she gets her degree is start writing a book. And speaking of books, reading happens to be a first among her many hobbies and interests. Last, but not least, when you know her. vou know someone who reallv knows Christ. DELLA LILLIAN FIREBAUGH Wooster. Ohio Cleveland Bible College : Child Evangelism Fellow- ship 4; Forensic Union 4; Camera Club 4; F. M. F. 4; Gold. Delia, a Bible college graduate, came to Bryan a senior. She sings, loves good music, and enjoys dramatics. Al- though a quiet type, her roommates know her relish for gaiety. Delia delights in telling children stories and has rejoiced in seeing several boys and girls accept her Saviour as their own. She is not certain where her Lord is calling her, but she knows He wants her in full-time sen-ice in His harvest field. HELEN LOUISE GOW Columbus, Indiana Hebrew Prayer Fellowship 1 ; Forensic Union i. 2, 3. 4. Secretary 2 : F. M. F. 1, 2. 3. 4.

Ranked with the highest, spiritually as well as scholas- tically, Helen has maintained her position throughout her four years at Bryan. Such Christian virtues as depend- ability, loyalty, poise, efficiency, promptness, a very sweet and friendly personality, and above all. her devotion to and humbleness before God have been rewarded. She has been elected to serve in many positions of responsibility in her class, as well as in the various extra-curricular activi- ties. Helen is well qualified to serve her Master on the foreign mission field. The 194S Commoner 27 SENIORS ELLA LEE HALL Tariff.

An unaffected sweetness, which for four years has served only to enhance, nas radiated from Ella Lee ' s per- sonality. Active in Child Evangelism work, a member of Who ' s Who, and the dining hall hostess, her sincere and conscientious ways have endeared her to every one. She plans to serve the Lord on the foreign mission field. RUTH IRENE HOOKS Kittanning, Pennsylvania Lay Ambassadors 1. 2, Vice-President 1 ; Camera Club 1. 2. 3; Archery Club 2. 3, 4, Vice-President 1; Child Evangelism 3, 4 ; Scarlet. Sweet, sensible, and spiritual are fitting adjectives for Ruth, who enjoys people. She finds chemistry challenging, archery invigorating, photography relaxing, and Child Evangelism a satisfying service. Ruth has not prophesied concerning her future, but it will surely be one full of service to others, and to Him who has called her. WILLIS DEAN JONES Peru, Indiana Pastor ' s Fellowship 1. 2; F. M. F. 2. 3, 4 : Gold. Cooperation and perseverance are two words which well characterize Willie. ' ' Whether he was working in the kitchen, on his way 10 class, or to a C. S. A. appoint- ment all was with a smile, a song and a prayer. After his four years of preparation at Bryan his desire is to give the Gospel to those who have never heard it — on the mission field. m «  28 The 1948 Commoner SENIORS ADELE RAY LEWIS Denver, Colorado Colorado State A. M. ; Denver University ; William Penn College ; F. M. F. 3, 4 ; Forensic Union 4 ; Gold. Andy ' s two years at Bryan have been crowded with an amazing variety of activities. Photography, poetry, books, the duties of being Biology Laboratory Assistant — these fill her days. Vet there is always time to help a student with a difficult lesson or to pray about a problem. The outstanding achievement of her life in the short time since she has been saved is her remarkable knowledge of the Scriptures. Her insatiable thirst to know more of her Saviour has resulted in a marked spiritual growth, which has caused her to reflect more and more the loveliness of Christ in her life. EDGAR J. LIEB. JR.

Ed is one of those who are always there on the hikes, lending a helping hand to those who are tired and worn. His varied interests are manifested mostly in his camera and his work in the Science Club. Being Laboratory Assistant for two years has been both his headache and his pleasure. Upon completion of his training, Ed plans to follow the leading of the Lord to serve in Brazil. OS r ILA RUTH MAHR Aurora, Illinois Aurora College ; Child Evangelism Fellowship 2, 4 ; F. M.

Ila Ruth ' s three years at Bryan have proved that she is an earnest, devout Christian, desiring to serve the Lord with all her heart and willing to go wherever He leads. She will be well remembered for her efficient service as Secretary to the Dean and as well for her sincere testi- mony, which has been a source of blessing to others. Her versatility will be an asset as she goes forth to serve Him. «4 The 1948 Commoner «« 29 SENIORS CATHERINE MARSHALL Lorain, Ohio F. M.

This little Scottish lass, full of life and love for her Saviour, is better known as Cathy. Cathy is recognized as a valuable worker in the office. Cathy ' s work in Child Evangelism lays a foundation for future years on the mission field. Cathy ' s deep spiritual life has been seen as she has witnessed in word and song, not only at school, but as she has travelled with the Ladies ' Gospel Quartette for three summers. VIVIAN RUTH McBRlDE Mansfield, Ohio F. M.

Always ready with a bright smile and friendly disposi- tion, Vivian has been a blessing to the Bryan family. Through the testings of college life she has grown in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord, and her de- votion to Him is evident in her daily life. Many times Vivian has brought enjoyment to her fellow students through her songs and dramatic readings, and we are confident that the Lord will continue to use the talents He has given her to bring glory to His name.

Yes, he has time for other work too, for he has also led his class through three years as president. We are quite certain that he has obtained more than an education here — it is entirely possible that he will take one of the members of the girls ' dorm along with him as he responds to the Great Commission in going to South America. Above all, we shall remember Dale for his consecration to the Lord and his faithful wit- ness, which has served as an inspiration to his fellow- students. C. S. A.

In addition to holding many offices in campus organizations, she has worked faithfully as a waitress and as a librarian. Polly ' s vivacity and charm have been evident, as she has led the Scarlets in school cheers and has had a part in their forensic activities. Most important of all, she has had the supreme desire to please her Lord and is looking forward to serving Him on the foreign mission held. CLINTON DEAN RISSER Ashland, Ohio F. M.

If you were to ask a typical Bryanite to tell you the first thing that popped into his head when the name Dean Risser was mentioned he would probably answer, a sense of humor. Dean also has his serious side ; he has used his voice to the glory of the Lord both here and on tour with the male quartet last summer. As for the future, he plans to continue his training , with the mission field in view, at Grace Theological Seminary. GERALD W. TEETER Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania Philadelphia School of the Biblej Pastor ' s Fellowship 2; F. M. F. 3; Class Vice-President 2, 3, 4 ; Student Council, President 3 ; Gold. Red hair is usually considered a sign of a bad temper, but with Jerry it ' s a sign of a big, kind, understanding heart. Having completed Bible school training, Jerry entered Bryan as a Sophomore. Although called out of school twice, Jerry showed his faithfulness to the Lord ' s calling by continuing in spite of circumstances. He has been pastor of the Sale Creek Presbyterian Church during his time at Bryan and during his first two years was manager of the bookstore. «  The 1948 Commoner « «% 31 SENIORS LOIS LOUISE WEYHE Griffith, Indiana Practical Bible Training School; Lay Ambassadors 2; F. Gospel Singers 2 ; Commoner Editor-in-Chief 3 ; Who ' s Who 4 Since coming to Bryan in her sophomore year, Miss Weyhe has become a permanent fixture in school enter- tainments, the office, and our hearts. We shall long re- member her charming poise and spicy sense of humor. Her sterling character, high scholarship, unique leader- ship, ability in extra-curricular activities, and potentiality for future usefulness won her a membership in Who ' s Who Among Students, and we feel confident that these outstanding characteristics will go with her as she con- tinues to serve with dignity Him whom she loves.

Truly, many expressions of thanks are due Ruth Ella, not only for the blessings she has been to us spiritually, but also for the many hours she has worked preparing the food to supply our physical needs. She has been of in- valuable assistance in our boarding department. Her faithfulness, unselfishness, and her willing spirit have proved to be a stimulus tor her many friends, inspiring and spurring them on in their service for our God. Ruth Ella i s always ready to go the second mile and to do more than her share. Because we know her, we know that God ' s place for her on the mission field will be one of great responsibility, and she can fill it well. M. F. ; Gold. 4; Choir 2; . Q lETJ FAREWELL, SENIORS! Farewell, Seniors ! It ' s been great hiking with you these past years. You ' ve trudged across the fields of time ; you ' ve crossed the rivers and mounted the hills for a glimpse of what was behind, a sight of what yet lay before to be conquered ; and then you have gone down once more into the valley and walked quietly alone among the shadows. But it wasn ' t for long. The sunny stretches would come again — and come they did, and you toiled sturdily along, with chin up and heart warm from the challenge of it. Up, up, and still up, you went ; and the briars tugging at you pricked and left their mark. But they did not stop you. The rocks may have slowed you down, and sometimes you needed a push, but on you went. And now you ' re at the top again, view- ing the past with a heart of gladness, scanning the future with that same feeling of inadequacy Buzzard ' s Point first gave you. Trudge on, friends. There is no height He has not conquered. His strength is sufficient for you — press on, and on, and on. He will yet conquer new heights through you. « • 32 € The 194S Commoner Circuit Riders ' We that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubt- less come again with rejoicing, bring- ing his sheaves with him.

LAY AMBASSADORS Xot alone to the jungles of Africa, the wind-chilled mountains of China, or the teeming yillages of India, but to the homes and offices, to the plants and mills, to the clubs and churches of America must go the answer to the Go ye of Christ.

CHOIR The cantatas given during the Christmas and Easter season are events that demonstrate the hard work put forth by the choir during the year. The music comes from voices that have an earnest desire to sing. Their talent is used in this way to bring joy to the heart of music lovers and to glorify the name of Him about whom thev sing. INSTRUMENTAL ENSEMBLE Quiet . . . absolute quiet. An arm swings up, a baton flashes in the light, the sound of horns and drum — and the ensemble, under the tutelage of Maestro Stock, is oft on the production of another composition. T he first instrumental group on Bryan Hill in several years, the Instrumental Ensemble is fitting itself into a proper niche of the already musical life of Bryan, a welcome addition to our talent groups.

STUDENT COUNCIL Two-way ambassadors — from students to staff, from staff to students — the Student Council serves a purpose which could not well be met through any other medium, that of voicing student opinion and wishes to the administration. To be a member of the Council is to rub elbows ' — and we mean rub — and to rub them, sometimes, the wrong way. It is a position not without honor, but certainly not with honor alone. FORENSIC UNION And now, ladies and gentlemen, the next impromptu will be given by . . . Oh, I ' m so glad he didn ' t call on me, says each Forensic member as the unfortunate victim marches up onto the platform. Forensic Union gives one an opportunity to improve his speaking, to share with others his musical or acting talent, and to enjoy the abilities of others.

OCTAGON DORMITORY Oldest dormitory on the campus and an all-round good place to live — that ' s the Octagon Dormitory. Built, largely, by those who were to occupy it, occupied before all the walls and windows were in, sprinkled copiously with numerous to-the-end water battles, prettified and becalmed when the ladies took over, the Octagon, a man ' s dormitory occupied by men, lives on in the lives of its children. GIRLS ' DORMITORY Oh, no! Can it be time already to get up? This and many other similar remarks may be heard at 6:10 A: M. in the girls ' dormitory. The last minute rush before lights out, dating the man of your life, supervised stacking of rooms for special occasions, and Sunday Night Prayer Meetings are all a part of the Girls ' Dormitory life.

TRAILWOOD VETSVILLE A little town of its own, full of crying babes, barking dogs, and sweet, loving, little wives is what one finds upon visiting Yetsville. Their own city council, water system, collection point, and wash house make them a community quite set apart, but still a child of the Bryan family. CHAPEL HALL DORMITORY Well might the Barracks Boys boast of the close fellowship enjoyed on Bryan Hill, though one might ques- tion concerning enjoyment of such a fellowship. Ten to a room, while the Chapel Dormitory was in the making, provided tests of patience and get-along-ability. But get along they did, despite the taps played on a neigh- boring wall and illness after lights out. First roiv — Dean Ryther, D. Oakley, B. Monn, S. Theobald, C. Taber, J. Teeter, L. Meznar, R.

Indeed, you had better move, for the Archery club members, a group of girls interested in sports and the acquirement of a better aim, mean business when they loose those arrows. CAMERA CLUB Snap that picture ! So all over the campus, and off the campus, students are snapping pictures. Some good, some bad, and some that we would rather not have shown.

GAMMA CHI— THE SCIENCE CLUB The newest club of the University has already been noted for its witty advertising and for its fascinating problems: If a man and a half can build a home and a half in a day and a half, how long will it take a dog to cross a tight rope 70 feet long?
