This book was a gift to the Bryan College Library by: Ron and Rose Mattson Bryan Alumni January 2003 ras iff c HDTfOff 964 COMMONER PUBLISHED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS BRYAN COLLEGE DAYTON, TENNESSEE When the years have closed around us, Memory ' s scroll will then unfold On the hours we ' ve spent at Bryan, ' Neath the red and gold. By our motto we firmly stand: CHRIST ABOVE ALL. Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail OUR BRIAN, Hail! LOOKING UNTO JESUS - ■ ' ■ r ACADEMICALLY SOCIALLY ATHLETICALLY SPIRITUALLY 20 64 82 98 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, LOOKING UNTO JESUS, the author and finisher of our faith; Bryan is not simply preparation for life; Bryan is life. By every aspect of campus activity-studies, clubs, parties, inspirational services--our characters are being molded. In Jesus Christ alone we find our strength and purpose for living. From day to day we are learning that every new experience through which He takes us is but another step to the one thing toward which He prods us --an understanding of Himself. DEDICATED to ARTHUR MEYER . . . be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, foras- much as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. I Corinthians 15:58 The steadfast consistency of your life has been an inspiration to us . In the classroom we have found your vital interest to be contagious as you made meaningful to us the facts and formulas of science . Outside the classroom we have been encouraged by your participation in student affairs and have depended many times upon your practical advice . In appreciation for your contributions to our life at Bryan, we gratefully dedicate this, the 1964 Commoner, to you, Mr. Arthur Meyer. Mr. Meyer at home with his daughter, Miriam, and his wife.

Though pressed by many responsibilities, including the arrangement of class schedules and academic programs and the management of financial resources, they are never too busy to share with the students helpful advice and warm encouragement.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: Proverbs 14:15, 33 BIBLE In addition to instruction for all students, majors in Bible are offered to meet the needs of those who intend to pursue further training in Bible or to enter some spe- cific field of Christian service after graduation. By means of charts, analyses, and term papers, independent Bible study is taught and encouraged. In all your studying, study the BIBLE! Here there is no mere once -upon -a -time but a now, no simple yesterday but a today, no mere concern with the beyond but a God-perme- ated interest with this life. Erich Sauer Irving L.

Psalm 90:1, 17 no .- .. -s-.SW- 1964 has been a record year in the history of Bryan College. Two new dormitories, accommodating 100 students each, have been constructed near the north end of the Administration building. Students moved into the new buildings in the early spring. Old dorm areas will soon be converted into classrooms and practice rooms. ill On November 29, 1963, Mrs. E. B. Arnold was honored at a community-wide dinner marking her fiftieth year in business in Dayton. Mrs. Arnold is a native of Bowling Green, Kentucky, and a graduate of Western Kentucky State College of that city. Before her marriage to the late E. B. Arnold of Dayton, she taught school for two years . Beginning with a variety store in the front of her late husband ' s Coca Cola business in 1913, she soon expanded it into a fashionable women ' s department store, which still attracts customers from all over East Tennessee. In the thirties and forties, Mrs. Arnold operated branch stores in Harriman, Lenoir City, and Knoxville, Ten- nessee. Both Mr. and Mrs. Arnold were associated with Bryan College from its inception. At the time of his death in 1948, Mr. Arnold had served as secretary of the Board of Trustees for thirteen years. Mrs. Arnold accepted the position of trustee in 1949 and has served as a member of the Executive Committee for many years. A modest woman who shrinks from publicity, Mrs. Arnold is widely known and admired, however, by people in business, education, and religious circles. She combines shrewd business sense with a devotion to work which has made her a leader in the business community. She has been active as a Sunday School teacher for nearly fifty years. Many of her former students are missionaries and Christian workers. As a salute to Mrs. Arnold ' s abiding interest in education and young people, the Mrs. E. B. Arnold Award is made annually at Bryan to the graduating senior in teacher educa- tion rated as the outstanding student teacher. She is known for her generous support to a wide variety of causes. We honor ourselves in seeking to honor a woman of such genteel Christian char- acter and achievement. 112 OUR APPRECIATION TO Sammy Joyce --for his invaluable guidance and warm encouragement as our American Yearbook representative.
