H. A. IRONSIDE MEMORIAL LIBRARY COMMONER ANNUAL JUNIOR CLASS PUBLICATION OF WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN COLLEGE DAYTON, TENNESSEE WALKING THE HILL Many colleges may properly be called liberal arts. A few colleges title themselves Christian. However, the Christian liberal arts college is something of a rarity. Therefore, at Bryan we are in an unusual situation. We receive the full benefit of a liberal arts education; but our Christian emphasis takes us far beyond mere in- . tellectual knowledge and displays to us a personal, reliable Guide, VkTio illumines our path. Around us men grope in darkness, searching for some sign by which to guide their lives. We walk in the light, for we are the children of light and have a sure Guide. He is the Light of the world that lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Vital to the effective operation and very existence of Bryan College is our Board of Trustees. Com- posed of members from many different states, this board contributes much to the college in the area of finance and also in the areas of example and inspiration. These consecrated men and women work hard in order to promote the growth of Bryan in all as- pects of a Christian liberal arts college. Pictured above are twenty members who met in the fall to plan for the 1961-62 school year. One of the committees of the trustees met and discussed matters concerning the approaching year. in Last fall, two months apart, Bryan lost two trustees by death- -William L . Hardin, Octobers, and Horace K. Houston, November 24. WILUAM L. HARDIN HORACE K. HOUSTON Mr. Hardin, who lived in Atlanta, was most active in trustee affairs from the time of his election to the Board in 1935. He seized as Chairman of the trustee committee on nominations for many years . He rarely missed a Board meeting, and he nearly always remained over from the June meeting to attend graduation . In this way a large number of Bryan fr iends came to know Mr. Hardin. His absence last June signaled a period of declining health. His death early on the morning of October 3, 1961, occurred only a few hours after the close of the fall meeting of the Board. Mr . Houston of Memphis served as a trustee of the College from 1949. His interest in Bryan stemmed from his mother, the late Cora M. Houston, a well -known Bible teacher and a Bryan trustee from 1931 to 1949. Mr. Houston was a generous supporter of the College and established the Horace Houston Loan Fund in 1960. He and other members of his family augmented the George Theo- dore Houston Memorial Loan Fund es- tablished earlier by his mother in memory of his father.

President Many and varied are tJie responsibilities placed upon a college president. Exemplary leadership of both student body and fellow administrative personnel is characteristic of our president, Dr. Theo- dore Mercer. Not only in his administrative capacity does Dr. Mercer excell but also in his daily Christian life and testimony. As a friend, example, and guide he truly reflects the Light of the Lord Jesus Christ . Under Dr. Mercer ' s noteworthy leadership, the Bryan administration, faculty, and staff accomplish well the diversified undertakings necessary for the adequate operation of a school such as Bryan. In all areas of their lives they are excellent examples of dedicated persons with regard to their responsibilities and, above all, to God. 11 :1k. KARL E. KEEFER M.A., M.Ed., Mus.D. Dean J.

We as a student body have chuckled at the care with which she handles her flowers but have also enjoyed the beauty she has been responsible for placing on our campus . We love Granny for her spriteness, sweetness and genuine Christian sincerity which have been abundant this year. Even the quaint little reminders to quit hurting her flowers have caused us to cherish Granny more. With deep gratitude we pay this tribute to you, Granny, as one who has willingly given of your time and efforts to beautify Bryan, and thank you for the work you have done .

For the first nine weeks Dr. John Anderson, professor of ancient languages, fills this position. After receiving degrees from the Uni- versity of Illinois and Dallas Theological Seminary, he received his Th.D. from Dallas in 1959. Dr. and Mrs. Anderson, with their three children, have been in the Bryan family for almost seven years . Genuine concern for the athletic program, for scholastic achievement, and for students in general characterizes Dr. Anderson; and for this reason he performs well his job as Freshman class advisor. 27 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS--FRONT: Onalee Gerard (secretary).

SHEARON Elementary Education Philippians 4:19 (Special student) In their Freshman and Sophomore years, the class of ' 62 elected Mr . Arthur Van Meeveren as their class advisor . This year they have again chosen him to serve in this capacity. Mr. Van Meeveren, assistant professor of English, received his B.A. from Central College and his M.A. from the University of Iowa . He is now doing further study at the University of Colorado. He and his wife, Rebecca, have one daughter, Dawn, who is now ten years old . The Van Meeverens always have their home open to the Bryan students and are sincerely eager to be of assistance. The interest displayed in Bryan Colleg e and its students since his appointment to the faculty in 1957 has made Mr . Van Meeveren an invaluable asset to all of us and especially to the class of ' 62. The Van Meeverens 47 : ff WHO ' S WHO In the faculty nominations for recognition in Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities, two senior women and three senior men were selected. The basis for this selection included such characteristics as scholarly achievements, leadership ability, participation in extracurricular activities, noteworthy citizenship, and potentialities of future usefulness. Those chosen have also radiated the light of the Lord through their lives here at Bryan. Reva Jenkins, an English major from Virginia, plans to enter nurses ' training upon graduation from Bryan. At present she is secretary of the senior class and treasurer of the Foreign Missions Fellowship . Grace Black has a major in elementary education and will be going into public school teaching in her home state of Florida . Grace works in the capacity of head waitress in the college dining room .

Jensen, is of major importance in a Christian institution such as Bryan. In fact, it is considered so essential that all regular students are required to take a Bible course every semester that they are in attendance at the college. Other instructors in the Bible department are Dr . Rader and Mr . Eckel . Left: Dr. Jensen explained his analytical method of study as Patsy Hathaway re-examined her analysis of the passage.

Right: Mrs. Owensby supervised the typing students as they worked to gain speed and accuracy. 56 DEPARTMENTS EDUCATION-PSYCHOLOGY The education and psychology department, under the leadership of Dr. Miller, gives both a program of instruction for the general education students and professional training for prospective public school teachers. Also various psychology courses are offered which stress the importance of the human element in teaching . Mr . Hill and Dr . Keefer also teach in this department. Above: Mr. Juillard, student teacher, held the attention of his students as he instructed them in mathematics. ENGLISH Mr. Van Meeveren is in charge of the English de- partment which strives to develop facility in written and oral expression and to give an understanding of and an appreciation for literature. A new addition to the department is Mr. Cornelius, a Bryan graduate .

The other instructors in applied music are Mrs . Cornelius and Miss Russell. PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HYGIENE Students are taught the value of good health practices in developing strong bodies in the physical education and hy- giene department. Principles of first aid are also taught. Mr. Voight, head of the department, is aided by Miss Sinn and Mr . Carigon . SCIENCE The department of natural and physical sciences, under its head, Dr. Henning, aims to give an understanding of the physical world, pointing always to the great Creator . Mrs . Woughter and Mr . Meyer assist in this department. Mr. Warwick heads the math division of this department. -v., ■ffta ■. 58 B ' mmmmh ii m SPIRITUALLY H . .

Chuck Westgate (president). Chapel programs, prayer meetings, and trips to the Toccoa Missionary Conferences were some of the endeavors of Bryan ' s Foreign Mission Fellowship this year. Operating as an associate organization of the Inter-varsity Christian Fellowship, FMF strove to impress upon us as students the importance of mis- sions and our responsibilities regarding this work. Each week in separate meetings, prayers were offered for mission work in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the United States, and for the work among the Jews . Right: Walt Reichner was reminded by this poster that it was Wednesday night and time for the weekly FMF prayer band meetings. Missionary Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is a very active segment of Bryan ' s FMF. Its purpose is to train students in the techniques and funda- mentals of flying, and to acquaint them with the importance of aviation on the mission fields of the world. We. have been privileged for the past few years to have the use of our own plane which lends opportunity for Bryan students to have practical ex- perience along these lines . The weekly MAF meetings serve as both a ground school and as a time to pray for those who are now doing mission work under MAF . Left: Dan Sheyda exhibited a keen interest in aviation and in the school ' s airplane. 62 TOCCOA One of FMF ' s major activities is the trip to Toccoa, Georgia, twice a year for the regional missionary conference. There representatives from Bryan join students from a number of other Christian institutions for a time of concentrated missionary challenge. Those who were privileged to go will never forget the stirring messages, the warm fellowship, and the testi- monies of missionaries from all over the world . Above: Chuck, vice-chairman of the Southeastern Regional FMF, led the congregation in some missionary songs as Rae accompanied him on the organ. Above: Mr. Harold Wildish, a missionary from Jamaica and one of the two main speakers, warmed our hearts with his glowing personality.

A number of avenues of service are of- fered, including jail visitation, house to house visitation, Child Evangelism, and released- time teaching. Young people in preparation for future service are thus allowed to gain practical experience while they fill many positions in Rhea County . L..

A time when the deepest spiritual truths were made very clear and a time of spiritual re- freshment --this was Bible Conference. Special meetings, a vacation from classes, and phys- ical relaxation were all included in the thirty - first annual Bible Conference which was held from October 15 through 20. The theme song, Just Keep On Praying, soon became familiar to the college audience, who will never forget the impact of its message sung by men who have proved its truth through long years of experience . 1 rou - niPs Looks with t dark tfll_ care EFR AIN !ie.- and dread, Above: Dr. Richard Seume hit home witJi his intensely practical messages on Life Together and his Portraits in Flesh and Blood.

Under the direction of Miss Russell, the radio choir and the announcers have worked together to produce a local Bryan broadcast. Every Sunday afternoon at 12:15, WDNT beamed the messages in word and music to many people in the surrounding areas. The weekly program has served as an advertisement for Bryan, but primarily as a testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. 67 CHOIR The Bryan a cappella choir presents an oppor- tunity for musically inclined students to develop their talents . Time spent in the hard work of practicing is extremely rewarding to the members . Traveling mainly on weekends, the group was able to represent Bryan as they glorified the Lord with their musical testi- mony. From time to time their singing also enhanced the daily chapel programs and special meetings. Mr. Gerald Wo ugh ter, a graduate of Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, is the experienced director of the choir .

GOSPEL MESSENGERS Another aspect of Christian service is participation in special musical groups which are sent out to rep- resent the college. Known as the Gospel Messengers, the teams travel on weekends and spring vacation to present programs for churches and other organi- zations . Membership in one of these groups requires a student to give many hours to practice --hours which must be taken from studies and social activities However, the advantages are great. The opportunity to travel with other young people, the chance to make new acquaintances in different parts of the country, and the joy of serving the Lord in this capacity all join to make Gospel Messengers one of the most satisfying activities of the college. RIGHT: Mr. Hill ' s group paused to acknowledge an enthusiastic send-off before starting on another weekend trip. 69 CHURCHES ' I WAS GLAD WHEN THEY SAID UNTO ME, LET US GO INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ' Instead of holding Sunday worship services on the campus, Bryan encouraged its students to find a church home away from home among the many Bible -believing churches of Dayton and the surrounding area . The students were thus able to become acquainted with local people and to worship with these new Christian friends . Many Bryan young people were pri- vileged to serve as Sunday School teachers, choir members, song leaders, and pastors. Although sometimes it was difficult to be faith- ful to these responsibilities, the rewards were great . Left: Dr. Jensen warmly greeted two Bryan students as they left Sale Creek Presbyterian Church. Above: Annie ' s young Sunday School class eagerly listened as she ex- plained to them the truths of God ' s Word. Left: Jim directed his congregation into an attitude of worship as he led them in a hymn at Cumberland Presbyterian Church. 70 CHAPEL In the midst of the busy round of classes and study comes the welcome break for Chapel. Chapel time, however, is more than a break; it is a source of daily inspiration and fellow- ship to both students and faculty . Whether the program includes a guest speaker, a mes- sage by one of our own faculty members, testimonies from students, or some of the more practical matters of living together. Chapel is a time of drawing apart from our- selves unto Him in Whom is refreshment and strength . Above: A bit of British spice was added to our Chapel period when Dr. Allen Redpath, past or of Moody Me- morial Church, spoke to us. Above: With Mr. Bentley leading us, we joined voices in worshipping the Lord with singing. Below: Meditative organ music by Mrs. Cornelius put our hearts in readiness for another Chapel mes- sage. Above: Dr. Francis Dixon of England was honored at a tea before he brought us an inspiring Chapel talk. 71 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF SERVICE Since joining the faculty in 1941, Dr. Rader has become one of the best-loved professors at Bryan. Her students, from the freshmen pouring into Old Testa- ment Survey to the seniors thoughtfully selecting a deeper Bible course, have gained from her both an insight into and a reverence for the truths of the Scrip- tures . Her varied experiences and her close walk with the Lord have made her an understanding counsellor to those who were in need of help. She is a living testimony of the blessing God can give through a life dedicated to Him. This year Dr. Rader is retiring from active service at the college, but we know her influence and her prayers will remain with us . ' Philippians 3:10 .?- - i ■-- :;i - But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another ... T John 1:7 •; T. ' -X- ? - CAMPUS LIFE The various dorms are the scenes of many of our most interesting and profitable experiences . The girls in Rader and Rudd Halls and the fellows in the chapel basement, the Octagon and various outlying buildings will treasure the memories of joys and hardships shared with dorm -mates, of lasting friendships formed, of fellowship with other Children of Light . Arnold Village provides an attractive setting for family life for our married students . Above: A typical scene . . . Rudd and Rader Hall girls oohing and ahing over recorded memories. Julie, Jane, Helen and Carol took advantage of the hospitality offered to them by Peggy. Above: The Llewellyns entertained the Berrys in their Arnold Village apartment.

Right: Don and Chuck add atmosphere to the quaint Octagon. 75 Above: Opening Convocation was gayly climaxed by an open-air reception under the canopy of the trees. ORIENTATION The first week of school, packed to capacity with important activities preliminary to a successful year, brings back many memories --memories of freshmen testing, complicated instructions, standing in line, making out schedules, adjusting to dormitory life, all appropriately prefaced by the spiritual life meetings of that week. For many of us, these are memories of an introduction to a new life in which perhaps for the first time we began striving to walk in the Light. Right: Last name first, first name last became familiar words as we tediously regis- tered for the new year. Below: Not only were our minds expended as we registered but also our wallets as the business office took its share. Below: Tribulation time for the freshmen consisted of multitudes of tests designed to acquaint them with the hardships of college. 76 ' yi n, Tennessee 37321 PRESIDENT ' S RECEPTION Left: After the customary how do you do ' s, Christine Dettra and Stanley Gravett began a night of officially meeting the faculty. Below: As our couple began moving through the reception line, Dr. Mrs. Keefer waited to extend their hands in a friendly Bryan welcome. With the President ' s Reception came the traditional blind dates and all of the usual preliminary wonderings and worryings. The reception line, which brought students and faculty members together in a formal yet friendly atmosphere, was followed by a program centered around the theme, Laborers Together with God. 9 m 7m Right: Mr. Mrs. Bill Stanton enjoyed the satisfying refreshments that awaited those who had laboriously gone through the long line of well-wishers. 77 INITIATION CHANGE AND ADJUSTMENT became key words to all those entering college for the first time. The sophomores willingly obliged in helping the freshmen to become adjusted by initiating them during the early weeks of school. Freshmen were tried, sophomores were exalted, ice was broken, and the frosh were drawn closer together as a class. Above: A 4:00 A.M. hike--lovely prelude to freshman initiation. Right: Equipped with only a knife, the happy girl fleas used the floor for their table. BROTHER-SISTER BANQUET ■1 ft -J!l H k| Bl S 1 bI B ■Left: Green grits and vinegar punch--delicious. The Student Council also aids the new students by assigning to each boy a Big Brother and to each girl a Big Sister. Through the year the Big Brothers and Big Sisters act as counselors and helpers, trying to make life a little more pleasant for those who are new in the college student role . The second annual banquet for the Big and Little Brothers and Sisters this year was climaxed with a piano concert given by Mr . Rex Whiddon, Jr . of Chattanooga . Below: Later in the evening Brothers and Sisters applauded Mr. Whiddon ' s playing. Above: Arlene Von Busch contributed much to the occasion with her rendition of This Nearly Was Mine. 78 ALL-COLLEGE OUTING Right: Accompanied by Dr. Van Cliburn Keefer, Dr. Bernstein Mercer directed us in singing. The annual all -college outing at Cumberland Mountain State Park provided a day of relaxation and enjoyment for the whole Bryan family. Boating, baseball, football, walks through the woods, a delicious meal, and an inspiring devo- tional period made the day one to be long and happily remembered. Once again we experienced the fun to be shared by those who are walking in the Light. Above One call for the chow line was sufficient Below. Double trouble as exemplified by the Westgate twins. Above: After playing host to the student body, the faculty rested and enjoyed their food. Left: Even Dr. and Mrs. Mercer let their hair down and joined in the follies of the day. Right: Everyone got into the act and winced and groaned while some of our more talented fellows built a human pyramid. 79 H O M E C O M I N G Above: Tom Taylor, Alumni president, as Master of Ceremonies skillfully held our attention at the annual alumni banquet, which this year was centered around the theme, Occupy Till 1 Come. 1 Left: Last year ' s queen, Nancy Street, gracefully relinquished her crown to Jane White.

Right: Jane and Terry reigned happily at the banquet. 80 Below: The dining room became a fairy land enchanted by Snow White, her Prince Charming, and the seven dwarfs. Above: Bryan ' s version of a sit-in. Not only witches, goblins, and ghosts, but also head- less men, Famous bas- ketball players, kiddies, country lads, darkies, and even the stately parson were present at the Halloween dinner. This was an eve- ning when faculty and stu- dents alike returned to the chaotic hilarity of childhood spook parties . F R C E L N U C B H Above: Mr. Eckel, K. Heglar, L. Taber, D. Whitney, L. Stone, P. Hathaway, D. DeRosset, B. Gerkin, F. Wimberly, N. Paulson, D. Peck, D. Sheyda, K. Roden, R. Paulson. By means of games, songs, and conversation, French Club members grew to enjoy the language that at first seemed rather difficult. The club sponsors, Mr . and Mrs . Eckel, served in Paris under TEAM. Their willingness to open their home for club meetings and their fun -loving personalities endeared them to each club member . The Spanish Club learned to appreciate the Spanish way of life . Its sponsors, Mr . and Mrs . Payne, having spent many years among Spanish speaking people in South America, were well qualified to give the club members an insight into the customs of these people.

Such events as a timely lecture on Communism, the Fall Fashion Show, and an effective Christmas Candlelight Service contributed to a broader college experience. Pictured above is another venture, radio station WJBC, underwritten by the HILL- TOPPER. Kent Juillard spent a few moments of leisure examining the Art Exhibit, the second in the Fine Art Series. The HILLTOPPER is a student publica- tion of Bryan College. The views ex- pressed in any article are those of the writer, and do not necessarily reflect the paper of the administration. Standing: Mr, Hill (faculty advisor), Barbara Baughman, Rachel Whitlow, JudyGilson, Sandy Shores, Larry Bail, Bob Kellogg. Seated: Patsy Hathaway, Donna Beets, Barbara Tanis, Reva Jenkins. (Not pictured: Rebecca Peck, Technical Advisor.) Editor Wayne Bomgaars displayed suc- cessful leadership as he and his co- workers labored diligently on the paper. Here Wayne, Rae and Don put the finishing touch on another issue. ' ■THANKSGIVING It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O most High. --Psalm 92:1 Faculty, staff, alumni, students, and children at the banquet all joined in a round of Thanksgiving songs after the turkey and trimmings had been enjoyed in family style. The piano and voice recital given by Ellen Hermann of Chattanooga added the final touch to a day of refreshing relaxation. Yankee Doodle rang loud and clear as Phyllis Frykman, queen of the North, received her crown. She was loyally attended by Rae Paulson and JoAnn Andrews. Attended by Ginger Snow and Diane Peck, Southern belle Rockie Nye was crowned queen to the tune of Dixie. 84 Pictured above are Tom Beal, Dr. Keefer, Lois Taber, and Russ Llewellyn, four of the members of the Honors Reading Club. This is our newest campus club, having been started just this year. The members met periodically for dinner discussions of selected books. c L U B S Above, the Athletic Boosters ' Club prepared to support the team at one of the home basketball games. Don Culp, the president, provided capable leadership for the noisiest club on campus. 85 CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS is ' Hark the Herald Angels Sing was the theme that captured first place among Christmas decorations this year. Deco- rated by the juniors and fresh- men, the lounge was displayed as a three dimensional Christ- mas card and depicted the traditional nativity scene. Also predominant in the display were three crosses which re- minded us once again of the divine purpose of the birth of Christ . f S ' - wv-a r 3S,  Jl I 1 A .Aj i ii HH V m gu J ' _. 1 d w k ' ju sm % A 5SS91 - 3 In the lobby the sophomores and seniors showed forth several aspects and different concepts of Christmas . After viewing such scenes as carolers, the nativity, winter sports, a church, and a downtown store, we were aptly asked the question What is the center of your Christmas? Both sets of decorations prompted us to re- evaluate our ideas of Christmas and allow Christ to occupy His rightful place in Christmas . 86 WINTER WONDERLAND For the annual Chi istmas banquet, the college dining room was trans- formed into a real Winter Wonder- land of pink and silver . The capacity crowd of over three hundred will not soon forget the lovely surroundings, the entertaining and worshipful music, and the guest speaker from Chattanooga, Rev. Ansell Baker . Above: Rev. Baker held our attention with his clearly presented thoughts on the familiar Christmas story. Below: Tom, Arlene, Barbara, and Steve paired off for a diverting musical number, Silver Bells. Above: Minds were turned even more to the thought of Christmas as the male quartet, accompanied by Dr. Keefer and Mrs. Cornelius, sang its version of White Christmas. CHRIS Left: Once again the Student Council under- took the proj ect of decorating the Lionette. The Council members were caught in the Christmas mood and happily trimmed the tree. To climax our Christmas events, the Hilltopper presented a very impressive candle-light service. Special music and a Christmas reading were contribu- tions to the program by the classes . Below: The choir made their entry by candle- light and sang Holy, Holy, Hosanna in the Highest. TMAS Right; Dr. Keefer captivated our attention with his mastery of the organ as he played eight variations of a French Christmas Carol, imitating the old French reed organ. Below: Even the small fry of the Bryan kinder- garten joined in the pre-Christmas activities by giving a Christmas pageant for their parents. Each year at the Christmas season the College solicits financial gifts in its Gifts -for -the -King program. Again this year the majestic notes of Handel ' s Messiah filled the chapel at the annual Gifts -for -the -King service. The Messiah Choir was composed of students, faculty, and town people and was under the direction of Mr , Gerald Woughter . Below: Along with our own Walter Culbertson, soloists included Ellen Hermann, Lois Welsh and Fred Woodward of Chattanooga . 89 1 ' M U . (W UtSS B tJAw Chosen by popular vote of their class - mates, Gail Posey and Gary Rhodes competed against representatives of the other classes for the titles of Mr. and Miss Bryan. This event is a fund-raising campaign to provide subsidiary finances for the publication of the COMMONER . With true Bryan enthusiasm, Gary and Gail worked diligently to emerge vic- torious . Mr. and Miss Bryan reigned at the annual Bryan Birthday Banquet. 90 CAMPUS L I F E Dorm officers; Rockie Nye, corres- ponding secretary; Nancy Street, president; Pat Lyons, vice president; linda Blubaugh, recording secretary; Nancy Brookhart, social chairman; Judy Frappier (no t pictured), treasurer. Dorm officers were chosen from Rudd and Rader Halls at the end of last year and had charge of the dormitory meetings . The officers also took care of various dorm problems and supervised the use of our kitchen and sewing room . Rules and regulations are an important part of dormitory life. The majority of our most excit- ing and enjoyable events were centered in the dormitories . Pop corn parties, nightly gab ses- sions, friendly wrestling matches , and some sleep all had their place in the various halls of residence. In order to keep chaos at a minimum, various students have been given the responsibility of keeping order in the dorms . Proctors were chosen by the personnel deans to act as their assistants and also as counselors to the stu- dents . Proctors, above: Dave Pierceall, Chuck Westgate, Lowell Martin, Ken Roden, Maurie Allen, Larry Bail. Proctors, left: Grace Black, Reva Jenkins, Kirby Heglar, Joanne Worley, Rae Paulson. 91 ■mn STUDENT An integral part of an average college student ' s life is the time spent in working and earning money for his education. Though small in size Bryan offers a rather large variety of opportunities for students to earn money while in college. Perhaps the largest areas of student employment are the foodservice, maintenance, and janitorial departments but a number of students also work in the offices, the lobby, the Lionette and the bookstore. Besides earning wages, the students gain valuable work experience and help the school to be run more efficiently . Above: Headwaitiess Grace gayly decorated the ban- quet tables with little cups of sweets. Above: The torchmen carefully adjusted the flame as they prepared for another cutting job in the shop. Above: Hope contemplated layouts for publicity while working in Miss Peck ' s office. Right: Many humorous moments were shared as Linda and Ginger diligently dried dishes in the kitchen. 92 WORKERS Above: Some service with a lot of smile was certainly true with the fun-loving dish crew. Above: Colonel Goatley and Dr. Mercer took time out from their administrative responsibilities and served out the lunch to the delight of all. Above; One of the dirtiest and hottest jobs was performed here by Chuck as he shoveled away. Below: As Joanne sat at the desk in the main lobby, she was alert to assist anyone who visited or called. 93 Winding up their work on the COMMOl Kf sistant Editor Rae Paulson and Editor-in-Chief Sandra Sorrellsort and discardpictures which remind them of the layouts representing so many well-spent hours. LOIS TABER, COPY EDITOR TIMOTHY AMUNDSON, PHOTOGRAPHER After the last word was typed, the last picture was taken and the last deadline was met, it was possible for the COMMONER staff to relax, give a sigh of relief and take inventory of what their year ' s work had in- volved. Perhaps more was gained than given out as we learned the meaning of responsibility, enthusiasm, and hard work. Sleep became a thing that was put into the schedule if there was time. Patience, too, became a key word in the relationship between the members of the staff as problems were discussed and decisions were reached. All was not drudgery though, for there were happy moments when sleeplessness brought out staff idiosyncrasies and our worries were forgotten for a short while. We as a staff also experienced the thrill of meeting deadlines of many types, of seeing our work reproduced in die proofs and of knowing that our work was now safe in the hands of the publisher. In no way can we honestly say that we alone have accomplished this major task. As the year progressed we depended more on the promise of God when He said, I will instmct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with my eye. TOM BEAL, LAY-OUT EDITOR PEGGY NEECE, BUSINESS MANAGER 95 T A L E N T S H O W Every year on Talent Night, new stu- dents demonstrate the varied abilities of the freshmen and transfer students . Hidden talent is brought to light, and potential l eadership comes to the attention of the college family . This year the program was divided into two sections, secular and spiritual . In- cluding several acts, the first part was a take-off on the Jack Paar Show with Mr . Hill as Jack. In the spiritual section were presented musical numbers, a reading, and a short devotional talk. , ■.m i H ' Iff 1 :1% • ' ABOVE: Singers such as Barbara Gerkin added variety with their spiritual and secular selections.

At the close of the 1961 fall cross country season, Bryan tallied a record of seven wins and three losses . The team was faced with its difficulties this season both on and off the course, but they never let down. Each race brought real thrills to spectators and participators alike . The strength of the team was due primarily to the fellowship enjoyed between its members and proved to be the key to (Christian success even in times of defeat . Under the competent leadership of Coach Bob Carigon, the squad ended their season with memories of well-earned victories . RIGHT: At the sound of the gun, the runners sped off to begin a grueling four miles of spirited competition. ;J ' A ' „ i Je£ld.iv;.j- 99 INVITATIONAL Each year Bryan sponsors a cross country invitational meet and welcomes many of the colleges and universities in our immediate area to participate . This year only three teams were able to attend but they provided great excitement to all spectators . Those taking part in the competition were Cumberland University, Tennessee Tech, and Bryan. Cumberland took first place honors, followed by Bryan and then Tennessee Tech. At the invitational at Cumber- land several weeks later, our own Bob Carigon defeated John Faulkner of Cumberland and set a new course record. Above: Tennessee Tech ' s runners put on a fine display of racing during the meet. Above: Bryan ' s Bob Carigon and Cumberland ' s John Faulkner were rewarded for their individual achievements and here received the second and first place trophies respectively. Above: Mr. Warwick presented Cumberland ' s coach with the Invitational ' s first place trophy. 100 iNTRAMURALS For the girls, intramural sports consist mainly of volleyball . Providing a welcome break from the routine of studies, intramurals increase class spirit as the year progresses . The rivalry among the classes grows until one class is finally declared the winner .

Only three veterans, Diane Peck, Judy Blevins and Judell Engelman, returned to the squad this year; Carol Barth, Naomi Paulson, Ginger Snow and Leslie Stone were all new additions to the group. Led by Captain Diane Peck, Bryan ' s line-up of cheer- leaders did much to add both beauty and vivaciousness to the games .

This year an advance was made to enter into competition with all four -year schools, which presented tough foes and many exciting moments . The Lions held their own throughout the season and emerged with a fine record . With the accurate shooting of Lebron Bell and the pleasing antics of guard, Jerry Clay, the crowds were kept in suspense through every second of the game.

For twenty-five yeors, Foith Seminary has answered the question asked by young potential ministers of the Gospel upon graduation. What seminary should I choose. Now in its Silver Anniversory year. Faith Seminary is better able than ever to answer. Twenty- ffve years in direct contact with the greet issues of Christendom have uniquely qualified Faith Seminary to be a trainer of 20th Century Reformers — Faith men true to the unaltered, divinely inspired Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ. In an atmos- phere of pre-mtlleniai expectation, in daily association with such noted Christian scholars as Seminary president Dr. Allan A. MacRoe, you will receive academically sound,, biblically sure education for Christ. Courses at the Seminary lead to Bachelor of Divinity, Master of Religious Education, and Master of Sacred Theology degrees. There is no charge for tuition or rooms. Or. Carl Mclntire, president of the board, the faculty and the student body invite you to include Faith Seminary as you plan your graduate study program.
