H. A. IRONSIDE MEMORIAL LIBRARY N5 ■ 0 DEDICATION For three years your example of untiring energy has captured our eye. It has also captured the eye of all those with whom you come in contact. Your life has captured our imagination into search- ing for latent abilities that we might develop and use for the Saviour ' s glory; therefore, may we dedi- cate the 1959 Commoner to you, President Mercer, another great commoner. ..,■-.:.-■ ' ' ' ■ ■JSiei n g Thoughts concerning the future constantly occupy our minds while events in the past are readily forgotten. With hesitation at first we explore various paths, some- times meeting an abrupt ending, sometimes filled with bewilderment, and sometimes blinded by self-pride and confidence. Through mistakes our minds are quickened and eventually we choose one path and pursue it. Thus begins the intrinsic part of Christ-filled lives, not stag- nated, but lives constantly aspiring to that purpose for which they are called. Brothers, I do not think that I have cap- tured it yet, but here is my one aspiration, so forgetting what is behind me and reach- ing out for xvhat is ahead of me, I am press- omvard toward the goal. . . .

Bryan 23 37 77 PHYSICALLY 87 Our pressing did not begin at Bryan nor will it end here. Bryan is only an intermittent area in which we find ourselves pressing. Pressing here on the Hill involves simple things — an X on the ballot for Homecoming Queen, a date for the Chattanooga Concert, a slip of paper in the Student Council suggestion box, a moment of silent prayer before an exam, a Saturday afternoon touch football game. . . . Students and faculty begin the year with an in- formal day at Cumberland Park. Phil and Carlene talk while Mr. Bryan looks on. Netcs is exchanged while waiting for the lunch line to move. Studies are forgotten and the touch football game with Temple enjoyed. Pressing here on the Hill also involves the more complex things — the Greek alphabet to learn, a fifty-page thesis for English seminar, a weekend trip to Florida as a Gospel Messenger, the first New Testament analysis to design, the position of chair- man on a class committee. . . . The simple and complex make our life on the Hill well-rounded and interesting. Dr. Henning talks over a genetic problem ivith an interested student. Any freshman might experi- ence a dog wash like Sherry did during initiation. 10 Ursie solves problems in diligent self study. In one short moment, Lester Dow gives his life ' s verse, receives his di- ploma and becomes an alumnus. n The daily chapel hour is a relief from the pressure of the day. Whether simple or complex, uninteresting or perplexing, all motivations for our pressing are stimulated by Him who has set for us our goal . . . to win the prize to which God through Jesus Christ is calling us upward. It is our desire to put Him first, for our motto is, Christ above all. Our pressing did not begin at Bryan nor will it end here. 12 Allen, Lowell, and Earl share experiences over the Word in the privacy of their room. ! «n |r 1 ' ' - i 1 X H| PW r Tr 1 -.;.:■ | T 91 I jf 1 [l ? - ' 5f i a, J  != • ■ - • . - ' ■ ■ )( •(■ Holland pauses for a moment in front of the Octagon to quickly review the busy day. 13 IN MEMORIAM MRS.

Demonstration of this was the recent acquiring of Teacher Certification from the State of Tennessee. Their perpetual work, whether counselling or editing is not limited by circumstances and inconveniences. Their motive is to exalt Christ. Theodore C. Mercer, President; M.A., Litt.D. 16 Judson A.

Each word was saturated with sincerity. 24 Bryan is but an area in which we find our- selves pressing. . . . Pressing here involves our continual and consistent fellowship with the Lord among the college family and an increase in the knowledge of Him through numerous in- lets, from the annual Bible Conference in October to everyday chapel experiences. Unconsciously our pressing is stimulated and accelerated by the very atmosphere of the Christian campus. Outlets for testimony of our Christian growth are numerous. I am pressing toward the goal. . . . Janice- relates the simple message . . . Whosoever believeth on Him stionld not perish but have everlasting life. ' • Kent, little brother, Dale, big brother as brothers in Christ, share thoughts and experiences over the Word. spiritually 23 BIBLE CONFERENCE Preparation. Prayer. Publicity. Day of Prayer. Bible Conference time meant classrooms were emptied. The chapel and auditorium seats were filled for a week in Oc- tober. For the main, books were shelved and our thoughts were devoted to the Book. The important thing was not cramming but relaxing and absorbing the expository messages of Dr. Carnell, from Boston, and Mr. Reid ' s (Continued on page 27) Hearts were searched in readiness for Bible Con- ference. Profound truths were expounded by Dr. Carnell. Profound. Gospel singers, Dr. Hannnontree and Mr. Beck- ivith, pulled gospel songs from way back. 26 enlightening testimony. His work Profoundness existed. Pressing is among the Jews. Socially speaking occasions for dating are general day in and day out on campus. Here was a welcome opportunity for daters to enjoy a brisk walk down the half mile hill. Dr. Hammontree and Mr. Beckwith drew songs from the past and presented them in their distinctive way. Press- ing. . . . The values of the week were not forgotten but stored in the subconscious and drawn from as half semester ended. Exams demanded added attention. Pressing. . . . An alumnus, Mr. Reid, chal- lenged us with his work, among the Jews. Challenge. Note it is clear, or is it? It was inspiring to listen to him even though there was nothing to offer. FMF Prayers. Challenges. Pledges. The Foreign Mission Fellow- ship presents the need. Prayers ascend. Pressing. . . . One group could be small. Another large. But purpose and prayers remain the same every Wednesday night. Pray for China Inland Mission. Also pray for Tennessee Mountain Mission. The miles are not counted. Just the needs. Sure, you can pray for these missionaries in the dorm. But again the fellowship of other students attracts. The devotional is simple. The requests are many. Pressing. . . . The prayer group leader hoped that the needs mentioned would enter the students ' minds and prayers the other days of the week. Pressing. . . . Last minute instructions and then Toccoa bound. FMF OFFICERS— Left to right: D. White (presi- dent), M. Gottshaw (corresponding secretary), A. Frazer (financial secretary), H. Johnson (vice president) . FMF chapel brought interest and oppor- tunity for a clearer understanding. 28 ■ God will richly bless the gift, givey and goer. J A minute more and the door was closed. The windows of heaven were opened as prayers ascended. Bill led the Home i ions group. Request of Asian missionaries were pre tented l Clyde Smith, leadt i . This was a weekly matter. Missionary Conference is an- other phase of the FMF. This occurred in February. Chal- lenge and decision were here. . . . Pressing. Still another phase is Toccoa Conference. Time permit- ting, responsibilties granting, Lord willing, students at- tend both in the spring and fall of the year. A missionary challenge is presented and many decisions made. Pressing for some is continued more diligently afterwards. Press- ing. . . . 29 CSA Grade school. Hospital. Jail. Bible Story. Testimony. The Christian Service Association shares God ' s Word. Loading up the car. Word of prayer. Destination. Spring City. Morgantown. Rhea County Hospital. Pressing. . . . The CSA worker is entirely in charge of the class. Open in prayer. Songs with motions. Memorization of a Bible verse. The Bible story. Prayer. A good-bye until next week. Need has been met. Spiritually. Physically. A box was set in the dorm for old clothing. A real opportunity for experience is found in CSA for the future missionary, school teacher, minister and social worker. Faithful. One accepted Christ as Savior. Another one was helped physically. The weekly witness had been fruitful. Press- ing. ... HOME VISITATION AND JAIL WORK— Left to right: B. Grin- stead, D. Jones, P. Cousins, J. Fickley, B. Hicks, J. Daniels, L. Thompson, D.

Na- omi personally enjoyed the unique Christian happiness of Miss Price. Redpath. Eugenia Price. Words which struck like thunderbolts. Pressing. Decisions were made and foot- steps were directed. Hearts and minds were set with de- termination to a goal. A new glimpse of Christ. A new missionary vision. A new responsibility realized. A new interpretation for a familiar passage. The simple expression of Eugenia Price ' s love for Jesus Christ. Classes and organizations planned unique chapel exercises. Skits presented and announcements announced. Our wor- ship was expressed in the daily consecutive Bible reading. Singing of the hymn. A moment of quiet meditation from the busy day. Muddled thoughts were cleared and the decision made. Simplicity of service. Pressing. . . . Educator. Dr. Op- pen heimer of the University of Louisville, visited the campus on General Educa- tion matters. Thought- p r o v o k i u g chapel hour. SPA — Front row. D. Zimmerman, B. Con- rad, A. Landis, B. Combs. Second row. C. Branson, T. Williams, D. Comstock. SPF Pastors. Sunday School teachers. Fellowship. It is not that you are a pastor that allows you to have membership in Student Pastor ' s Fellowship. Membership is extended to anyone interested in serving full time in the church. Minister or Sunday School teacher. Problems were an- swered. Qualified men lectured. Enthusiasm for the work comes by a clear insight of the work. Pressing. The high light of the year was the Student Pastor ' s Banquet in Oc- tober. Associating with fellow members of SPF gave the feeling of certainty as to a calling of full time service in the area of the church. Pressing. . . . BMA Self-discipline in the area of Bible memorization is of little value if it is inconsistent. The BMA offers the stimu- lus for the challenging and rewarding Bible Memorization program. Repetition and competition. Pressing. . . . Value. Bible not handy. Appropriate verse. What is writ- ten on the heart ' s tablets or embedded in the mind? Not much? One verse. But God commended) his love toward us, in that, while wc were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Two hearts have been satisfied. The speaker and the seeker. Pressing. . . . BMA — Front row: P. Cousins, L. I luthison, C. Barnes. Second row: R. Tubbs, T. Williams, D. Berry (president) . 33 CHOIR and GOSPEL MESSENGERS Practice. Witness. Public Relations. The life of a Gospel Messenger and choir member is busy. Pressing. Proof that Christianity is not long-faced and sour. Hours and hours of practice were required after the groups were finally selected. It balanced out in the end. Hours and hours of fruitfulness and fun followed. For the choir member traveling during the spring vaca- tion brought expectation. The list of travelers was posted. Though disappointed, the unlisted faced the possibility of a last minute substitution. And he attended the remaining practices. Pressing. . . . Choir performed at Baccalaureate. The Lord bless you and keep you. . . . CHOIR OFFICERS— J. Bauman (manager), L. Martin (vice presi- dent), R. Rughes (president), D. Bradley (robe attendant), M. Laszlo (historian), G.

Some things are harder for Christians to do than others. This was one of the easier and more thrilling Christian responsibilities for a dedicated musician. Pressing. . . . GOSPEL MESSENGERS: J e a n Sent , Mr. John Bartlett, Lois Tolbert, Ralph Haves, Greta Sor- rcll. 35 CHURCHES Presby. Ride. Walk. Methodist. The churches in Dayton and surrounding area attract through their friendliness and challenge for service. Carefully and prayerfully the student selected the church he wished to attend and this was his home church for nine short months. Pressing. . . . Other students preferred to vary their visits and go here and there. That was their choice. The opportunity for service was the First Baptist, Sale Creek. Any church where the willing one was found. Sunday morning load-up was a joke sometimes. The driver said he could take four. Six show up. Six go. The braver souls wind their way down the hill. Usually they were one of two types, an athlete or a couple. An effort for community cooperation. Methodist Tent Revival. Sullens Dosser, Evangelist. Bryan participated. Mr. Bartlett directed the singing. Students supported the meeting by prayer and participation. Pressing. . . . If you tvant joy — real joy. Now altogether on the last stanza.

Pressing here involves the discipline and de- velopment of our minds through stimula- tion and self expression in the classroom and in the privacy of the professor ' s office. To the Freshmen, January semester exams ' re- sults mean a more serious state of mind con- cerning study habits. While the Senior, with three years of experience behind him, takes the exam in stride. The consummation of study is not here — once a scholar, always a scholar. ... I am pressing toward the goal. . . . Vocal expression left an impression. Freshmen worked diligently on entrance exams, forgetting the present ordeal of initiation. academically 39 FACULTY A Christian liberal arts college. Dual purpose. The two can associate together. Christianity here is not a vague concept. It is the integrating force that makes the student well-rounded. For Christian principles and academic procedures go hand in hand and complement each other. Christ is in all and over all. The professor is a Christian. The professor has a liberal arts edu- cation entirely or in part. The perfect blend. Dedicated. Christian. Qualified. Gifted. The position of a college professor seems attractive. It is. And yet it is not. To the student it is. For the professor does not have to cram or create. Or does he? To the professor it is not, at times, especially in a small college. A Christian college. Each student is known by name not number. Exam time. Results. In an understanding way, yet firm, the professor must fail this student. The professor has had a part in molding some part of a student ' s life. The student ' s pressing has been aided. Irving-L. Jensen A.B., S.T.B., TH.D.; Karl E. Keefer B.A., M.A., Mus.D.; Alma F. Radar Moody Bible Institute Diploma. BIBLE A great piece of literature. Agreed. But it is something more. It is the inspired Word of God. It is studied for its literary value. More so for its value in guiding the Christian ' s life. A major is offered in Bible for those who want the train- ing of a Bible school and the availability of courses in the liberal arts. Old Testament Sur- vey. Theology, Pauline Epistles, Life of Christ. All have their place in the student ' s study hours. Snap courses are not found here. Digging. Re- search. Verbatim. Analysis. Digging. Snap courses are not found here. 40 Judson A. Rudd A.B., M.A., LL.D.; Emily Owenby B.A., M.A. BUSINESS and ECONOMICS Just beginning. Progressing. As the demand increases so is the Department of liusiness. Soon ■a major will be offered in tliis field, liusiness means acute efficiency. Efficiency means pro- gression through practice. Through the rhyth- mic peck of the typewriter to the lecture hour concerning bookkeeping procedures, proficiency increases. Beginning typewriting. Shorthand. Accounting. The key work is efficiency. Ef- ficiency. 41 Helen D. Davies B.A., M.R.E., D.R.E.; Ruth H. Nixon A.B., M.A., Ed.D.; Clifford L. Nixon B.A., M.A., Ed.D. EDUCATION Elementary. Secondary. Christian. The courses here are of interest to all students. Effective teaching in secondary schools. Kindergarten experience. Practice teaching in the city school. All these add to the well rounded educational program. The education courses are, for the main, practical and common sense. Difficulty arises when the book knowledge is tried and tested in the actual situation. The classroom. Methods and materials. How and what you teach can mean little or nothing individually. The combination is good. The scope of the Educa- tion Department has been widened by the recent acquiring of Teacher ' s Certification from the State of Tennessee. Diligently and speedily full accreditation is being sought. Necessity. Chris- tian education can be taken in the same breath. People are people. Children are children. Teen- agers are teenagers whatever the realm — secular or Christian. The only difference being the pri- mary motivation of the Christian is to serve Christ even in the educational realm. Methods and materials are needed in Christian education also. The Christian circle should be orderly and constructive. Effective teaching. 42 Arthur Van Meeveren B.A., M.A.; Lucy D. Sullivan B.A., M.A.; John Bartlett B.A., M.F.A. ENGLISH American literature. Speech. I humilities. Freshman English. The keywords here are term paper, effective oral expression, evaluation of o.ur heritage we have in literature. Distinctive method of thinking results. I nglish major. Busy and eventually unbothered l additional assign- ments, research papers, even a thesis. Distinctive method oi thinking results. Distinctive. Dis- tinctive. The English major has little time for idle talk. Room for more English majors. Busy. Busy and happy. 43 Everett Boyce B.A.; Mary Greider B.A., M.A.; Charles Moore B.A., M.A. HISTORY War of Roses. Plymouth Rock. Korean War. History is being made every day. The history made yesterday is not glorified as that in the history textbook. When in a few years it is re- corded and placed between two hardback covers, its significance will be seen. Correlation. The history student must have a mind of index cards, and charts, and date out- lines. A page read here and one there. This is not the history enthusiast. Correlation. Proudly he has a basic knowledge of the history of his own country. Majority are unacquainted. 44 John C. Anderson B.A., Th.M., Candidate for Th.D.; Mary A. Greider B.A., M.A.; Frederick G. Bedford B.A., M.A.; Sieglinde R. Brown B.A. LANGUAGES Paris. Hamburg. Havana. Anywhere, U.S.A. Proficiency in another language today is becom- ing more and more important. The United States is an amalgamation of nationalities and languages. To say another language is useless is nonsense. Traveling across the seas is a common occurrence. Requirement. Language study is required but the student is the beneficiary. Greek. With its help, Biblical translations come into focus. Biblical study is more efficient and enthusiastic with a little Greek under the lid. Mastery of a language not your own gives a sense of accomplishment. 45 Ruth L. Bartlett B.A., M.A.; Jimmie Woods B.A., M.A.; Donna Black B.A.; John B. Barclett B.A., M.F.A.; Gerald L. Woughter B.M., M.M. MUSIC While seated one day at the organ. . . . Prac- tice. Theory. When is he a musician. He has practiced for days. He knows a lot of theory. Practice plus knowledge contributes to skill. A musician is one skilled in his field of knowledge. Skilled musicians instruct to produce the more skilled musicians. Outlets for the music stu- dents to demonstrate their abilities are varied. Special music needed at Friday night candlelight dinner. Christmas vespers bring unique combi- nations. String quartet. Hidden vocal talent. One is not proud when he possesses a talent which will be beneficial to others if used. One is proud when he uses the talent for mere self- gratification. The self-conscious and unwilling musician is useless and selfish. A musician is one skilled. ... A truly skilled musician wants to display his talent for the enjoyment and better- ment of others. Skill. Unselfishness. 46 Willard L. Henning A.B., M.A., Ph.D.; Lou R. Woughter B.A., M.S., Ph.D. candidate. NATURAL SCIENCE Careful study. Answers precise. Investigator. I here arc some facts and formulas in the field of science that are just now being uncovered. Many others have been in textbooks for cen- turies. The conditioned reflex. Photosynthesis. Plants and animals are marvelously made. Ask the botanist or human anatomist. The Chris- tian ' s faith in the Creator cannot be shaken after thorough study. Faith is reinforced. Investi- gator. Science and Bible truths go hand in hand. . . . 47 Electronic I — • ped Accoi ling to the Number of Outer I Valence! Eleclronj Nil llii liliil Lewis A Warwick A.B., M.A.; Arthur Meyer B.S., MS. PHYSICAL SCIENCE Problems. Probing. Mathematics mean mental torture sometimes. Hours consumed in the chem lab. Or over a calculus problem. Or a simple reading problem for General Mathe- matics. The field of science is in the spotlight in this age. Sputniks. Orbits. Nautilus. General Mathematics. The course is so general. Yet the student might be influenced to further study in that field or another scientific field. Perhaps, just personal study. Stimulus to read the latest advancements science-wise in the daily news- papers. To enter normal conversation it is hazardous to be ignorant of scientific terms found on every front page. Current. Stimulus. The student of science is every student who reads with interest the front page of the newspaper or a Chemistry manual. 48 Everett R. Boyce B.A. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical activity. Physical fitness. Competitive spirit. Sport enthusiast. This year the active Physical Education department has influenced greatly the college athletics. More enthusiasm been generated. Progress was made in ath- letic facilities. Progress in athletic participation. Progress in enthusiasm. A sound body and mind. One without the other is possible. Not profit- able. 49 COMMONER it! Q Deadlines. Room 101. Searching mind. Procrastination is not found here. Too often it is. Deadlines. Hidden talents and idiosyncrasies show up in this work. The producing of this bit of written matter is left wholly up to the Junior class. Their biggest project. Pressing. . . . Editor — Greta Sorrell. f Business Manager — D a 1 e Comstock, Leona Wycoff (assistant). The key was found to keep a clear head and neat Com- moner room and a strictly budgeted time schedule. Press- ing. This area of college life separated the men from the boys. There were regrets because of sacrifices that had to be made. Regrets when the job was completed. Perhaps this section could have been put here instead of where it ended up. Now what will we do with our spare time. The experience has made us more mature. The work has made us tired. . . .

Mind full of facts. Heart full of friendships. They are leaders. College years culminate with this year of seriousness of mind. But all work and no play make even seniors dull men and women. Therefore, the year is twice as busy. This is the last chance to participate. Senior retreat. Highlight spiritually and socially of the year. During these days they found they really did not know each other at all. Graduating is commencing. The goal has been fixed in the mind. Doors will be opened with the sheepskin in one hand and practical experience, self-discipline and common sense in the other. Commencing. Pressing. . . . 3jS I I f Jfc • ■■■ OFFICERS— Seated: I.

The Sophomore year had begun. The yearling found it easier to adjust. Duties fell into line immediately. The dorms did not look nearly as barren. This was a year of betterment. He had found out somewhat his capability. He settled down. Decisions were numerous also. Pressing. . . . There was a slack in immediate money matters. But projects were important.

Adjustment. In one month he knew almost every student ' s face. Press- ing. Time to settle down. Adjustment. Class was organ- ized. Routines set. Projects abounded.

Pressing here involves manners, mingling and meetings. Our social life is further de- veloped. An educated person knows what is socially right. Ease in this matter is im- portant. Easiness is acquired through exer- cise. The dining hall is a good beginning for good manners are cultivated. The new student center is very conducive to min- gling. Weekly meetings of clubs and com- mittees all contribute. Social easiness is acquired. The Christmas banquet is always approached with a bit of anxiety by the Freshmen. After it is over, one step has been taken toward adequate social habits. Receptions for guests are held. A chance to mingle and get acquainted is good experi- ence. Consideration and contribution are both learned. To be socially right is im- portant. I am pressing toward the goal. . . . j ' i H 1 ' President ' s reception was gay because of the fascinating decorations. There was a note of sadness.

Dwgiht Zimmerman, honorable mayor of the humble habitation, Trailerville. Every citizen shared the brunt of the community- wide clean-up. Shiveree — Freshman initiations were synonymous. 82 Trailer. Wife. Student. Population 69. This was the other side of student communities. The new couple was welcomed to the community by a shiveree. The student in Trailerville was characterized by strictly budgeted time. Study. Support. Busy. He was a busy person. Midnight oil was burned. His free hours during the day were filled with work responsibilities. Busy. A sincere student. A simple community. Pressing. . . . A pause from study that refreshes. Aunt Grayce and the girls snack before hitting the sack. 83 BANQUET Nut cups. Extra kitchen help. Surprises. The perfect simmer for a year of busy academic responsibilities is the banquet. Banquets. They were not lacking. Each one is special and entirely different. December meant the Christ- mas Banquet with exotic decorations. Surprises. The speaker was kept secret until the very moment of the banquet. Through the door came familiar faces to some- one. Parents of a Senior. Bryan Banquet in the spring. The decor was indescribable. Christ is the cornerstone. Theme was excellently pre- sented. Behind t he scenes the decor was descriptive. Celery leaves were exchanged for corsages. Dirty aprons for a frilly formal. Dirty pots and pans for a date. The perfect seasoning for a season of study. Pressing. . . . r Behind the scenes. Holiday music added to the gaiety of the Christmas Banquet. The Christmas Banquet was the crowning point of ivinter social events.

Who did what? Manager Culbertson ' s deep concern was evident. 88 Bryan is but an area in which we find our- selves pressing. . . . Pressing here involves participation and physique. Strong and healthy bodies are de- sirable. Through discipline and training, one maintains and often attains such a body. This type body is useful in Christian service. Strong and healthy bodies are desirable but often an impossibility. Pressing involves participation. Participation is not always performance. Participation includes the spectator and supporter. This type is also useful in Christian service. Athletics are not an end in themselves but a means to an end. I am pressing toward the goal. . . . Ping-pong was even popular physical activity. frigid side-line spectators have choice seats; physically 89 Tenn Tech was the competitor. The gun. Then run. CROSS-COUNTRY Enduranc e. Skill needed. Conditioning. Skill results. This was the difficult part. The race was the climax and proof of this daily procedure. Endurance was the key- word.

The Cross-country season The snap of the string across the chest was suf- ficient reward,. had aroused much interest. It was evident the fellows had run their hardest. An added attraction. Opportunity. Bryan partici- pated in the Troy invitational in Alabama. This became the true climax. Miss State, Troy State, Alabama and Bryan.

TRACK Spring. Mile. Discus. Pit. Endurance and strength were involved here. Events oc- curred simultaneously. Three ring circus. Guns go off. The runners dart. The javelin flies through the air. The shot-put falls to the ground with a thud. One by one hurdles disappear behind the runner. The pole vaulter falls to the pit. Team wins were scarce. But individual performance on the track was good. Opening meet at Sewanee brought defeat. Stimulus for more diligent practice. First home meet with Berry. The spell of the first home meet stimulated par- ticipation. Berry proved superior. Emory. Bryan records had been broken. Carigon Up, up, up. Over. Down, down, down. the mile.

And one second later, discus and Jim both fell to the ground. One moment please. Technical difficulties,. FOOTBALL No pads. No helmets. Skin against skin. Bone against bone. Touch football. Bryan ' s touch football season was action and enthusiasm personified. Intramurals played their part. Competition. The sea- son was greatly colored by major football events.
