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. Regional Representative 3; Camera Club 3, 4; Archery Club 1, 2, 3; Child Evangelism Fellowship 1 : Choir 2 : Class Treasurer 2. 3 ; Student Council, Secre- tary 4: Who ' s Who 3; Gold. 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

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 ELIZABETH BRUBAKER Lancaster, Pennsylvania Forensic Union 1. 2, 3, 4; Choir 1; Archery Club 3; Camera Club 3, 4; Lay Ambassadors 1, 2. 3; F. M. F. 4; Journalism Club 1, 2, 3, Secretary 1; Debate Club 1; Editor-in-chief Nczvsette 2 ; Scarlet. 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. DORA ELAINE CHRISTY Geneva, Indiana Child Evangelism Fellowship 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary 2; F. M. F. 1, 2, 3, 4; Archery Club 1, 2, 3. 4; Camera Club 2, 3; Choir 2; Scarlet. 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 ELLA LEE HALL Tariff. West Virginia Child Evangelism Fellowship 1. 2, 3, 4, Vice-President 2, President 4 ; F. M. F. 1, 2, 3. 4; Forensic Union 1. 2, 3; Camera Club 2, 3, 4. Vice-President 3; Archery Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls ' Sports Captain for Golds 2, 3; Class Secretary 2, 3; Commoner Staff, Art Editor 3; Gold Cheer leader 1, 3; Who ' s Who 4; Gold. 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
