PRESENTED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS TO WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN UNIVERSITY DAYTON, TENNESSEE V FROM THE JUNIORS What is our goal? we asked ourselves as we set out to plan Hie 1953 COMMONER. We could find no better expression of our sentiments than Philtppians 3:13 anti 14. Thus, we want to present to you a brief picture of one year in this course t«k toward our eternal goal. This task has been more than a duty; rather it has been a special privilege and opportunity. The book is now your s o ven as the memories which make it live. May both be a challenge as you continue to press toward the mark . , . i j f -« ' ■ DEDICATION Genuinely devoted to his God-given responsibilities, he has not only proved himself outstanding in this University, but has also gained recognition from experts in his field in many other sections of the country. Demonstrating constant joy in the Christian life and manifesting remark- able patience and understanding, his life has been a consistent challenge to all of us. We count it a privilege to dedicate this 1953 COMMONER to our friend and teacher, Garner E. Hoyt. Sponsored in honor of one who serves his Lord as a faithful servant. :HRISTIAN FtLLOWSHIP CHURCH and CEDINE BIBLE MISSION Srandview, Tennessee 9+- PRESSING TOWARD THE MARK . . .

Several fellows continued to serve as pastors at commu- nity churches and chapels. ub Lehnhart helps load up after a morning service at the Cove Mission.

MAYOR AND FAMILY Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Mulvey, Mary Esther, and Martha Jane TRAILER VILLE With a population of seventy-one persons in twenty-six trailers, Bryan University ' s Trailerville is a little city in itself. A mayor and two council- men carry on a government typical of any little town, handling everyday problems, planning special times of fellowship, and enacting the laws that regulate the town ' s activities. Of the seventy-one, there are twenty children ranging from the cradle stage to grade school. Although most of them hold no official connec- tion with the University, the wives and children contribute much to the moral, spiritual, and so- cial life at Bryan.
