♦ - rOHL T6MM. KMI We are individuals coming from every direction. Differing in background, nationality, and faith, we are: Chinese — Vietnamese Black— White Baptist — Methodist Rich — Poor Yankee — Southerner . . . and many more. We have numerous reasons for coming to Bryan. A desire for knowledge, the leading of Christ, the personal advantages of a small Christian college, and even the peacefulness of a rural setting bring many.

As the Holy Spirit indwells us we learn to meet problems and challenges with increas- ing stability — changing pre- judice to conviction, opinion to fact, and finding the best possible answers to our ques- tions. Complete and inte- grated within ourselves, we can become the persons that Christ wants us to be. 15 This is the year of our changing. 16 The Commoner Bryan College Dayton, Tennessee Vol. 38,1971-72 I fjwrirrj rifts, f ditor Mrs. Louisf fientlfy, Advisor Campus Life 18 Athletics 57 Academics 73 People 89 Groups .119 Advertisements . . . .130 Opening Weeks Are Busy Freshmen and transfers arrive at Bryan to face a multitude of orien- tation tests— emotional and mental. Old students return to rehash the summer ' s adventures before facing the new semester ' s classes. Ad- justing to the pace and changes of college life presents a challenge to individual maturity in the midst of tiring and time-consuming activi- ties. Messages by Reverend Charles Stanley during Spiritual Life Week help many regain their sense of stability. 18 Campus Life REGISTRAT ION GRIN b : a R it Registration means students add books and classes and subtract from bank accounts; teachers sort class sections and puzzle over multiplied loads.

After dinner one may return to his room or go to the library to cram for tests or keep ahead of long read- ing assignments. As if by magic, at 9:30 p.m. the books close and the studious pupils descend to the Lion ' s Den, the T.V., or game rooms. After all-in, dorm horseplay and studies continue until tired students call it another day. 22 Campus Life UPPER: The Lion ' s Den is a refreshing place after a day of classes.

Freshman Talent Night skits, gymnastics, and serious perfor- mances offer many surprises at the abilities of the newcomers.

With the new dorm ' s completion, women move from Rader Hall and Cedar Hill, while the overflow of men move into Rader. The Christian Life Conference sparks the spiritual atmosphere and improves attitudes toward the new semester. With uncertainty and optimism the transfer students face the adjustments of a new school. Classes offer a fresh beginning; many seniors start student teaching. As routines settles in once again, eyes turn with eager anticipation toward spring break and graduation. -- Ctimpus Lifo 39 Dr. Warren Webster Dr. Don Hillis Rev.

In additionl to stirring messages brought by Dr. Warren Webster, Dr. Don Hillis, and Rev. John Oliver, testimonies and special music highlight each meeting. The hard gym seats present a physical problem, but the call for rededication of lives to Christ keeps interest alive. Many students, faculty, and administrators make a public demonstration of faith and dedication in the concluding candlelight service.

Much work is done before classes start with many activities for the year planned. Student Union and Student Senate members establish and decorate offices, buy pool tables and renovate the game and television rooms. The Miracle Worker, the first play performed by the new Drama Club, the Sweetheart Banquet, and the All-School Picnic are other projects of the or- ganization. The New World Singers, selected movies, and other entertainment come to campus. Framing a more collegiate atmosphere and better student attitudes are results of the active Student Union. 44 Campus Life LEFT: Emerson Roth and Connie Cropp help paint the Student Union game room.

Cumpus Lifo 45 MIA Reaches the Community Missions in Action takes its name seriously this year as it becomes the leading Christian organi- zation on campus under the capable direction of Dave Wolfe, Jim Fitzgerald, and Jim Hughson. The newly instituted FISH program involves many students— carrying food to shut-ins, helping under- privileged children as Big Sisters and Big Brothers, mowing lawns for sick people, working at the Educably Mentally Retarded School, and other ser- vices to the Dayton community. The Summer Missions Project supports several students on mis- sions in the United States and overseas. Striving for more relevant chapel programs second semes- ter, M.I. A. organizes focus groups contrasting various cultures and religions. The program is de- signed to develop the student in active service, drawing him closer to the reality of Christ and Christian living. 46 Campus Life , ■=■ UPPER LEFT: The Summer Missionaries Bryan will be sponsoring are left to right: Kim Alt, Sherry Porter, Bruce Pauley, Gwynn Henry, Joyce Dres- dow, and Ed Quigley.

The new dorm is a semester late in completion, but it is worth waiting for. Arranged in suites with each room divided into study and sleep- ing areas, it is fully carpeted and air- conditioned. The spacious modern kitchen is well-equipped, including a dish- washer. For the first time, men may meet their dates in the plush lounge. It is a welcome addition in the continuing ex- pansion of Bryan campus. 48 Campus Life Campus Lifo 49 $j£ Spring Brings New Activities Spring is a green campus, flowers, new loves, and many events. Fine Arts Week features paintings, bands, choruses, crafts, singing, and instrumental ensembles pro- vided by Dayton and Bryan. Sports change from basketball and cross-country to baseball and track and field. The junior-senior banquet at the V.I. P. Dinner Theatre in Chattanooga, with after-activities and breakfast at the Y.M.C.A., is a well-planned, exciting evening. On the senior trip travel Bryan ' s nostalgic graduates to a Georgia national park. As the term closes the underclassmen anticipate finals and seniors delight in Baccalaureate exercises, led by Rev. Ian M. Hay, a Bryan graduate and Director of North America Sudan Interior Mission, and proudly participate in Commence- ment, addressed by Dr. John G. Barker, President of Marshall University. It is the conclusion of a year of people changing— hopefully learning to live more effectively and meaningfully the dynamics of Chris- tianity. m v% £ «• ♦v 50 Campus Life V- as f: i UPPER LEFT: Larry Puckett gets a single.

One of the atrractive features of Bryan is the many couples who meet, date, and marry while on campus. The new problems are com- mon to all newlyweds: budgets, time to study, household duties.

Dr. James Greasby (music), Dr. Blair Bentley (history), and Dr. Richard Cornelius (English) experience personal change and promotion of a permanent nature. Temporary change in behavior or ac- tivities is also a necessary part of life; the chance to relax and share with others helps promote growth personally and socially.

According to Coach Jim Bath, this fact ac- counts for the inexperience of many new Bryan play- ers. In spite of this, diligence and perseverance yield two wins for the season. Encouraging the team with enthusiastic support by the Bryan students and cheer- leaders becomes a special help during soccer months. i -■• ' . -. ■ -■■ ' • ' ' : -? 3 ' - .• ' ■y w ' r, y 4 . y ♦■ . ■ - . -. . . • - ------ - ■ - -- 1 ■ . , .

Five returning lettermen spur the players to win several games out of a variety of tough teams like Union University in Jackson, several VSAC schools, and the usual SCAC teams. Freshmen and transfers offer good reinforcements to complete the Lions ' team. In spite of the handicaps, it is an encouraging year of hard work and even some victories.

According to Dr. James Greas- by, chairman of the division, each discipline seeks to increase the student ' s sensitivity, understanding, and appreciation. The very active Music Department, headed by Dr. Greasby, oversees the spring Choir Tour to Dallas and New Orleans. Buying new choir robes means many money-raising activities, including a Talent Show in February. Other departments are Art and Fine Arts in which students may not only learn about the arts but also participate in the crea- tion of painting, sculpting, and ceramics. Events for the entire division include traveling art shows, the Rhea County Concert Series, and the county-wide Fine Arts Festival in April.

Mercer, President of the College, is an exceptionally dynamic leader as he serves for his fifteenth year at Bryan. As executive officer of the Board of Trustees, he is responsible for the financial welfare of the school. In all phases of the college ' s functions he is the mediator. With his friendly personal- ity. Dr. Mercer stimulates public relations; he speaks in churches, in civic clubs, and in alumni groups. The President faces many innovations for the present and near future— the new dorm, the Self-Study project, and the drive for the new chapel-fine arts building. With his many qualifications, Dr. Mercer proves to be a suc- cessful, effective president who shows a per- sonal interest in everyone. Dr. Theodore C. Mercer 92 Administration Dr. John B. Bartlett Dr. Robert L. Mounts The Deans Mr. Robert D. Andrews Miss Karen deRosset An involved and aware dean. Dr. John B. Bartlett demonstrates much personal interest in Bryan as well as fulfilling his regular duties as Academic Dean. Chairing the academic council, counseling students with academic problems, and teaching nearly a full load are just a few of his activities. He secures faculty members and serves as administrative representative to the Trustees ' Academic Committee. To be a fair administrator to the faculty and a just and wise liason between teachers and students is the aim of this versatile and capable man. The goal is consistency as Dr. Robert L. Mounts fulfills his office of adminis- trator for the total personnel program. With the help of an efficient staff he works toward a clear, honest interpreta- tion of handbook rules and for better communication with students. According- ly, his responsibilities include personal counseling and occasional disciplinary ac- tion. As assista nts to Dr. Mounts, Karin deRosset, Dean of Women, and Robert Andrews, Dean of Men, find a challenging but time-consuming job. Discipline, coun- seling, housing, and permission are in the area of their work; in addition, they supervise student assistants, help solve inter-dormitory problems, and recom- mend policy changes. Carrying out their many duties in the face of obstacles is a tribute to the stability and industrious- ness of both deans. Administration 93 Administrative Officers Mr. Vern Archer Treasurer Mr. L.

Innovations indicate the overall growth of the school: the new dorm, tennis courts, a choir room, and a new road. These phy- sical changes are apparent to every- one. For progress and expansion of any college, buildings emerge and modernization occurs to ac- commodate the increasing student population. These surface altera- tions are important, but they are not the real changes. Policies of the college undergo revisions this year. Televisions are permitted in dorm rooms, girls wear pantsuits to class, all-in is extended for women, and trustees and ad- ministration make all-out efforts to understand the students. Significant as they are, these accomplishments are not the most meaningful. 1 V !j ft  v.

I think that Bryan is starting to see that students are able to make more of their own decisions. Doretha Roach. The biggest change in me is that I have learned more how the Lord Jesus blesses those who sincerley want what He wants and are willing to simply trust Him. Danny Camp. It is the difference that occurs within the individual that determines the success of a year at Bryan. How he is affected by Bryan ' s teach- ings—not necessarily the views he hears in class or chapel, but even those of his peers— aids in his personal development. Such areas as his philosophy of life, his ideas about Christianity, and his educational thoughts cannot escape being influenced for good or bad, slightly or drastically. We become part of all the influences here, but we retain our own unique qualities making us individuals. UPPER LEFT: In the new choir room two Bryan coeds wear fashionable pantsuits. UPPER RIGHT: Arnold Hall is the official name of the new dorm. LOWER LEFT: The new tennis courts offer the latest in playing surfaces. I have e pononr.ed a hreaking away from The mold that wa formed by parents and homo, not radically, but to form my individual per tonality. Janice Docker. Being at Bryan has changed my attitude toward Christianity. Tho ingredients for growth and servico are here, but it is up to each individual to use his talents for Christ, Susan Wadded Conclusion 147 FIT V When students move to different attitudes, concepts, and outlooks, especially at a Christian college, there must be something or Someone behind the move. We find this Person to be Jesus Christ; He is the manifestation and the hope in the year of our changing. 148 Conclusion - 1 -■-.,, L BRYAN 1
