The Lord, in His infinite wis- dom, has severely tested the faith of faculties and student bodies throughout the years, and now, the evidence of things not seen has materialized. A monument to God ' s matchless faithfulness it stands — the Bryan Memorial Building! Our hearts rejoice to see how God has worked, until now the edifice stands complete. To us is thrown the torch, be ours to hold it high; let us not break faith, but press on to appropriate more of the spiritual riches to be had in Christ Jesus. And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Colossians 3:23 President Jim Gould Vice-President Dick Cornelius Secretary _ Ron Bensinger Treasurer Bud Schatz Program Chairman _„_ Rogers Havird Co-ordinator Mr. Kermit Zopfi christian service association R. Havird R. Bensinger, B. Schatz, K. Zopfi, R. Cornelius, J. Gould. The purpose of the Christian Service Association is two-fold: 1) to faithfully proclaim the Word of God to lost souls in this area so that they may come to trust Christ as personal Saviour, and to help Christians to mature in Christ; 2 ) to provide practical Christian training for Bryan students so that they may learn, under present super- vision, how to serve the Lord more effectively in future years. This year the following number of students are actively engaged in the various aspects of the C.S.A. program: forty in child evangelism classes, 1 14 in public schools, nine in mission services, four in hospital visitation, seventeen in open air and visitation work, seven in jail services, and six as student pastors or ministers of music. C.S.A. entails much work on the part of the council and student body not only in procuring students for as- signments, but also in prayer, preparation, and finally in actual presentation of the gospel.

Fellowship purposes to create an interest in praying for the child evangelism work of the University and to conduct workshops in which lesson materials are prepared. In addition, the Fellowship publishes a monthly paper, called The Chatter , containing songs, object lessons, memory verses, and Bible stories which can be effectively used by the students.

It also assists born-again ones to realize that Christ indwells them, that they can be more than conquerors through Christ, and that they can become conveisationalists for Him. An added purpose of the Bryan chapter is to pre- sent methods for high school work of this type. In the monthly meetings of the club, the two outstanding features are special speakers and a conversation clinic Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.

It is their purpose to more closely associate those Christian students looking forward to foreign missionary service, and those still praying in regards to a place for service. A study of the various mission fields along with their needs is an important part of the group program. Bryan ' s F.M.F. is well represented at both the spring and fall conferences of the Southeastern Regional Student F.M.F. held at Toccoa Falls, Georgia.

These groups are first of all Gospel-teams and are instrumental in bringing spiritual blessings to many over the country. Their service to the school is in- valuable in leaving a living testimony for the University. For the second year a mixed group traveled through Georgia and Florida for a short tour in mid-winter. The group of five presented vocal and instrumental numbers. This summer a girls ' team is being routed throughout the Southwest and Midwest for a ten weeks ' tour. A male vocal group plans to travel along the Eastern coast and into New England and Canada.

Student council To represent the student body before the administration and the administration be- fore the student body is the primary func- tion of the Student Council. Its duties are neither academic nor disciplinary; however, it does reflect student opinion, mediate student grievances, and present constructive student sug- gestions to the administration. In all their de- cisions the Council members seek to bring glory to the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Council takes charge of the weekly University Prayer Meet- ings, directs all civic campaigns and drives among stu-. dents, presents to the administration student suggestions for changes in the Student Handbook, and has full re- sponsibility for organizing the yearly campus clean-up.

While household cares and duties are set aside enrichment through fellowship with others is provided by the Bible Class. The book of Colossians, taught by Mrs. Lucy Sullivan, was the topic of study for the year. In addition, the student wives carry on mis- sionary projects, arrange cottage prayer meet- ings, form committees to aid the sick in Trailer- ville, and plan social events.

Mrs. Melvin Wick Mrs. Roy Butler Mrs. Lucy Sullivan With a population of nearly eighty persons, living in twenty eight trailers, Bryan Universi- ty ' s Trailerville is a little citj ' in itself. A mayor and two councilmen head up the government which is typical of any small town. They handle everyday problems, plan special times of fel- lowship, and propose regulations as are needed — such as a curfew for the children to enable the fathers to study in a more quiet atmosphere. Although most of the wives and twenty-three children have no official connection with the university, they contribute much to the moral, spiritual, and social life at Bryan.

Robert McCarrell activities .,w . - fv-r - •t S. ; - ■ « Every fall quarter the Bible Conference comes as a time of refreshment immediately following mid-quarter exams. In addition to the mani- fold spiritual blessings, there are many oppor- tunities for physical relaxation including a seven mile hike to Buzzard ' s Point. Besides the regular meetings each morning held in the Bryan Memorial Chapel, evening services were conducted in the high school audi- torium so that our friends from Dayton, Chatta- nooga, and surrounding towns could share each blessing with us. Throughout the entire week our hearts were warmed as we listened to the Word of God presented in sermon and song. Dr. Irving Jensen and Dr. Harold Laird spoke along with Homer Hammontree and Paul Beckwith who also ministered to us in music. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword ... Hebrews 4:12. Paul Beckwith and Homer Hammontree bible conference Dr. Irving Jensen Dr. Harold Laird, Homer Hammontree, Paul Beckwith Chapel time on Bryan Hill is a time set aside from the day ' s activities; a time for mel- ody and meditation. As our voices blend in song and our hearts unite in worship we can sense the unity of oneness in Christ. This same family spirit prevails as we meet together on special occasions — the Gifts for the King Service, the Day of Prayer, Sophomore Vespers, and our Monday night prayer meeting. Blessed be the Lord, ivho daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Psalm 68:19. our daily bread thanksgiving day As Thanksgiving Day approached, the cries of Save your Confederate money, boys, the South ' s gonna rise again, were heard echoing through the halls. North- South rivalry mounted as preparations were made to refight the Civil War on the football field. At the start of the day we paused once again for a special review of the mani- fold blessings of the past year and the tone was set by Rev. Paul Zimmerman. As a preliminary attraction to the an- nual North-South game, the Bryan girls played their first game of football with competition between the North and South Dorms. Peaceful relations -emained as the game was scoreless. The featured game saw two evenly matched teams fight futilely for a touch- down, but neither team could claim su- premacy in Bryan ' s Civil War. Half-time ceremonies revealed the identity of the queens as the respective captains crowned Sandra Cue for the North and Melba Mays for the South. The queens, arriving in a pony-drawn cart, were dressed in the mode of the 1860 ' s. After the traditional North-South ac- tivity, the entire Bryan family retired to the dining hall for the annual Thanks- giving Dinner. The meal was concluded with a short devotional after which a film was shown in the Bryan Memorial Chapel. . . . once again we set aside our studies and donned the garb of gaiety to match the mood of bluebirds and springtime which prevailed at the Bryan Birthday Banquet . . . . . . as Sadie Hawicins Day came to a close we dressed in traditional country attire and gathered for an evening of merriment as we viewed our fellow-students in a re-enactment of Grand Old Opre . . . . . . after the story of the Sugar Plum Fairy was unfolded to us at the Christmas Banquet, The Nutcracker Suite was impressed vividly into our minds as selections were played throughout the meal . . . . . . preceding the cornation of the Valentine King and Queen the operetta Hansel and Gretel was performed by our classmates, bring- ing back happy memories of our childhood days . . . social events nor can you cut remembrance down J m • M. 3iaM H ' Ni 1 - ;V ' ..J when it shall once have grown, its iron buds will sprout anew however overthrown. -Emily Dickinson Freshmen Sophomores Seniors SENIORS W. 6 L.

A football game at Bryan commenced the rivalry for the current year as Bryan took the home game 6-0. Temple came from behind in the second game to tie the score at 12-12 on their field. Competition was then transferred to the hardwood where Temple decisively defeated the Bryan All-star men ' s basketball team in two encounters. Temple ' s girls ' team was also victorious, win- ning both games with 1 and 2 point margins. The Bryan faculty men gained a measure of revenge as they defeated the Temple faculty men in volleyball.

Hampered as they were by lim- ited facilities and numbers the team won its dual meet with Maryville, 87-2 3 — 43-1 3. Bryan took last place in a tri- angular meet with Emory and Berry at Emory; 91 — Emory, 41 — Berry, 30 — Bryan. We later lost a dual meet with Berry, 81 — 54. The aggregate score does not indicate the fine performance of several of the tracksters even in meets which were lost. High point man for the year was Ron Bensinger. Lettermen were: Ron Bensinger, Stu Meissner, Jim Gould, Ev Boyce, and Jim Barth. Toward the end of each spring quar- ter, an entire day is provided for parti- cipation in track and field events. This is the annual Field Day; wherein indi- vidual performance receives particular at- tention, although scoring is based on team output. Field Day is part of the intramural sports program and points scored therein are included with the class totals to determine the intramural cham- pionship. field day the panorama of past events calls forth in us new vigilance to guard the future sacredly. o Lord, may we buy up the Time which You ' ve entrusted to our care so that when each day is remade these golden moments will not fade, but stand the test of Time. -Ardis Johnson ADVERTISEMENTS DAYTON Absl Hardware and Implements Allen Phillips— Jeweler City Barber Shop Cotton Shop Daytona Restaurant Hugh Wright ' s Food Market Jenkins and Darwin Bros.
