God continued to direct the growth of Bryan College throughout the last 50 years. God has remained faithful. Through the dream of a man concerned with infiltration of modernism into education, Bryan College was founded. Because of William Jennings Bryan ' s funda- mentalist beliefs, and as a result of his efforts, the state law was up- held at the Scopes Trial in Dayton before the founding of the school. Bryan knew that young men would ' need good biblical training and desired to see a school established for this purpose. E WORD Beginnings HK M kl S His SI l t | H 11 . . , ., ' .

William Jennings Bryan stood emphatically on the Scriptures proving them as the in- fallible Word of God in his Is the Bible True? speech. Furthermore, the founding fathers drew up the 1930 charter for the college based on eight fundamental doctrines. This year the college has endea- vored to instruct its students in the Word of God in every area of life. Josh McDowell, a featured lecturer well known for his defense of the faith, spoke to the students first se- mester. As evidenced by the events of this year, Bryan strives to hold tenaciously to its claim of being a Christian liberal arts college in- corporating God ' s Word in all activities. Beginnings 5 HI I OKI I HI II KN i k Basing • H HHI m «f r 9k r 6 Foundcm? the foundation . . . Of the school on William Jennings Bryan ' s idea of a young men ' s school to provide training in the Word of God, the founders estab- lished Bryan University, as it was called in the early days. However, it was founded for the teaching of both men and women. As the ar- chitect drew up plans for the Ad- ministration Building, a tremendous financial campaign was launched in preparation for its construction and for the first student body. I in • ' r i • . . Making ready for this year, the ad- ministration planned to set an all- time record high enrollment with over six hundred students, allowing more Christian young people to obtain an education integrated with Christian doctrine. First steps the first steps . . . the founding fathers found them re- warding, though difficult. Shortly after Govenor Austin Peay of Ten- nessee broke ground, the towns- people began to argue about the location of the school and funds decreased. However, construction began amid all this on May 4, 1927, when Congressman William Up- shaw of Georgia started the con- crete mixer. Increased enrollment this year led the administration to assign some students to housing off campus in homes. An all-time high financial goal was set for the Gifts for the King annual student aid appeal. This goal was surpassed allowing more money to be allotted to the student work program. First steps 9 Forward through Faith . . . became the watchword of the founders during those formative years. But success brings greater trials, providing the opportunity for a godly faith to triumph and a bond of unity to develop among those involved. Construction on the Administration Building halted with the onslaught of the Great Depres- sion. However, the city offered the old Rhea County High School building for use until consruction could be completed. Classes were not held on the hill until 1934-35 when the building was partially completed. This came about as a result of the reaction of the student body in 1933-34 which spurred the faculty and administration on to completion of the project. In response to the prompting of the Holy Spirit in hearts at the last ser- vice of the 1980 Missions Confer- ence, held at the beginning of sec- ond semest er, many students stood before the student body to confess sins and express a greater desire .erve Christ. As a result of this ing club developed join- ing wit ihe 11 DEVELOPING ITS OFFERINGS Bryan expanded in more than just its academic program, which con- sisted of eleven departments of study. That first year the students organized and fielded both men ' s and women ' s basketball teams. The Christian service opportunities developed those first years ranged from small choral groups, church work, to street meetings in down- town Dayton. The college also formed an orchestra and a drama club that first year enabling its stu- dents to improve their talents in these areas. Even in its early years, Bryan strove to emphasize the spir- itual in all its programs. Developing 13 Progressing ■ ' WM Jf-. ' .. ..T k J Brj | _- V. — -i,.

Scholasticaily, it now con- sists of seventeen departments of study and is looking towards ex- pansion in these areas. The faculty, which has proved stimulating, not only intellectually but spiritually, is carefully chosen to fill the posi- tions. The members of the faculty are well respected by the students. The sports program has been drastically changed over the years, for the school now supports inter- collegiate sports all year round for both men and women. Since the Practical Christian Involvement op- portunities have developed to a much greater extent, the students are offered many ways to serve the Lord and reach out to the com- munity. In all these areas of col- lege life Bryan has endeavored through the past fifty years to keep CHRIST ABOVE ALL. 1 6 Table of Contents CHRIST ABOVE ALL Bryan Yesterday Aerial vie ■ ( William Jcnningi Brj I ersit) campus i Fiftieth So Hon n The Thirties CHRIST ABOVE ALL liteM One year after the Great Commoner ' s death, the Bryan Memorial University Association purchased eighty-two acres of land on Matthew ' s Hill in Dayton, the town of the Scopes trial. Although Bryan himself helped select another site, Governor Austin Peay of Tennessee al- layed the anger of many at the ground breaking ceremony in 1926. Pointing to the Rhea County courthouse, Peay asked that there be no further conflict between science and religion. The crowd cheered in agreement. But very soon these cheers turned to tears. Once again, controversies arose over the University site; many can- celled subscriptions. Economic depres- sion struck the country. Several notable persons, however, were able to fulfill their pledges: Cordell Hull, Grace Liv- ingston Hill, Franklin D. Roosevelt. By 1927, over $700,000 had been made in gifts and pledges to finance the building of the school. Moving forward through faith, con- struction began in 1927 with Congress- man William D. Upshaw of Georgia paying tribute to William Jennings Bryan and the educational memorial. As a result of financial difficulty, build- ing ceased on the school ' s foundation. Yet, founders declared that the Univer- sity would open its doors in the fall of 1930 with the building completed or not. Indeed, it did. Ironically, con- vocation services were held in the court- house room of the trial. President George Guille ' s inaugural address stated that Bryan University would not stand merely as a memorial to its namesake, but as witness of the glory of a greater and more worthy name, the Lord Jesus Christ. City businessmen, to aid the college while its buildings were in the construction stages, offered the univer- sity use of the old Rhea County High School building. Classes continued in downtown Dayton for five years. Bryan ' s first graduates left the school before it moved to its own campus in 1935. Construction contin- ued as funds permitted. The Octagon, a men ' s dormitory, was the first com- pleted structure on campus. Enrollment increased from the original twenty- eight students, and the library began with 30,000 books. At last, Bryan was established on both a firm fundamental and a concrete foundation. 18 The Thirties Founders Base Bryan on Faith 1. Before an enthusiastic crowd, Tennessee Governor Austin Peay, shovel in hand, broke ground for the University on November 5, 1926. 2. Congressman William D. Upshaw of Georgia started the concrete mixer and officially began construction on May 14, 1927. 3- The Octagon, constructed in the fall of 1932 as a men ' s dormitory, was the first structure com- pleted on Bryan Hill. 4. Bryan ' s first gradu- ation, the Class of 1934, included (1. to r.) Har- riett Dunlap, R. Tibbs Maxey, Mona Fled, Franklin Bennett, Sybil Lusk, Logan Rector, Marjorie Yancey and Bertha Morgan. 5. A sec- ond floor was added to the south half of the Administration Building in 1938 and was modi- fied in the early fifties in the process of com- pleting the third floor.

Yet, during those twelve years definite and far-reaching progress has been made. It has been a test of faith, a test of perseverance, a test of real purposeful building. Now, just when it begins to appear as though the storm has been weathered and smoother sailing is ahead, we come face to face with a world war such as has never been be- fore. But, already we have set our hand to the plow, and, by the Grace of God, we shall not turn back. (Dr. Rudd) Bryan, even in the face of war, never turned back. Despite students going to fight overseas, gas and food rationing, and fear of rampant fascism, the Univer- sity stood by its wartime motto, Vic- tory in Christ, and conquered. God ' s blessings continued in the wake of uncertainty. As money permitted, building improve- ments were made: new water lines for the kitchen; paint for the Octagon, which was made into a women ' s dorm; steam heat for the Administration Building; and landscaping of the entire campus. The Administration expanded classroom space and added a bookstore, darkroom, and laundry room to the facilities. Bryan survived World War II without casualty. In fact, seemingly to honor its veterans, Bryan expanded even further. The school purchased in 1947 an old army chapel for a mere $900. Student; and faculty dismantled the structure and rebuilt it on its present location on Bryan Hill. Dormitory space later occu- pied its basement, now Rader Hall. The government also honored Bryan ' s war involvement with the donation of twelve trailers, known as Vetsville, pro- viding housing for Bryan ' s married vet- eran students. Not only were veterans honored in this decade of unrest. Mr. F.R. Rogers of Dayton presented the University with a portrait of Bryan, a gift to his family from Mr. Bryan ' s widow, to honor the school established for the Great Com- moner. But the undeniable Leader of the University was paid homage to when the famous Chicago artist, Warner Sallman gave the school a larger-than-life portrayal of Christ, done in chalk. No better memorial could serve to remind the University of its of- ficial motto adopted in 1949, Christ Above All.

Mer- cer became president of the University in 1956. Dr. Rudd remained as President Emeritus and as Dr. Mercer ' s assistant and adviser. 22 The Fifties Changing Times Motivate Bryan ' s Adaptation The fifties were a decade of motiva- tion-motivation not only in building programs, but also in academic strengths and competitive sports. Under the combined presidencies of Drs. Rudd and Mercer, the campus im- proved and expanded immensely. The administration building, in 1955, held a newly finished third floor, offii es foi a ademit divisions, steel doors, .1 heaven reaching tower, ;i dispensary, ;in l an en d kitchen, noi to mention 2,228 window panes ' I hi finished building firmly Mood, covered with ;i new finish ol bri A. :i lr urn ally, Bryan advam I rranted nition bj ch 1 cnn ssei ' oll ge Assoi iation in 1950 Brj an gr •■■. in en rollmcnt and fa ulty Th u hool w;is given four-year approval from the Ten- nessee state board in 1958, the same year that the University name changed to Bryan College to stress its liberal arts character. Learning materials were ex- panded through the Henning Natural Science museum and growth of the Ironside Library collection. The famous Bryan-Temple rivalry was ;ilso born in the fifties. The first games against Tennessee Temple began in 1953 with intramurals in touch football. In this bi-annual event, during the first year each Kim won ai home. The legacy ol the beloved Bryan Lion, a symbolic donation from Temple, also became history, stimulating Christian com- l ' i mi. hi, si hool spii it , and motivating mayhem. The Fifties ' 3 The Sixties CHRIST ABOVE ALL The sixties were a decade of renovation and expansion. Building construction became the popular pastime on campus as both professional and student work- ers began the task of expanding the lim- ite d facilities and renovating to upgrade the physical plant. The major building venture was the construction of two new dormitories, long needed because of increasing en- rollment. In 1963 the project began with prayer and a building fund of $35,000, a small sum compared to the total of $720,000 needed. A low-interest loan of $600,000 was secured through a federal college housing program. These funds together with money from the bequest of $400,000 by Mrs. T.S. Allen, of Lincoln, Nebraska, a sister of Wil- liam Jennings Bryan, completed the fi- nancing of the project. In March 1964 Huston and Long dorms were occupied by 180 students. With the purchase and renovation of Cedar Hill in 1967 and construction of Arnold Village, off-campus dormitory space increased. Cedar Hill with eleven living units became women ' s housing. Arnold Village, with twenty apartment buildings, provided modest, yet com- fortable, homes for married students. Bryan also built a new music building in 1965. Located south of the Adminis- tration Building, it contained two stu- dios and four practice rooms complete with new Baldwin pianos. Since then the school has transformed this building into the Education-Psychology Annex. Library holdings increased with the ad- dition of the Alma F. Rader Bible and Rare Book Collection in 1962. Old vol- umes and Bibles of early, foreign, and famous personalities were donated by friends and alumni to honor Dr. Rader at her retirement from active teaching. She died in May 1966. Other campus improvements included a new service building in 1963, the reno- vation of the cafeteria and dining area in 1966, the hiring of Professional Food Management to head the food services, new flooring and walls in the Adminis- tration Building ' s main hall, and the addition of third-floor classroom and laboratory space. The last expansion project of the decade was the construction of a new gymna- sium, which was completed in 1969, at a cost of $109,000. The 1,000-seat building was dedicated to Ernest Sum- mers in 1972 and served as a chapel fa- cility as well as an athletic building. I 24 The Sixties Bryan Begins Building Expansion 1. Two new dormitories, Huston and Long, fot women and men respectively, were put into use in March 1964 after a short construction period of one year. 2.

Funds provided by the bequest of a Chattanooga businessman resulted in the building of the Summers Gymnasium which was completed in 1969. PP The Sixties 2 The Seventies CHRIST ABOVE ALL Actualization was the theme of theSev- enties-the true realization of the dream of William Jennings Bryan. With needs for dormitory space increasing, the Col- lege, in 1971, bought Arnold Village, apartments previously built as married students ' homes, and turned them into men ' s housing. The year 1972 was noted for building. The beloved Octagon was removed to make room for a newer dorm. Ground- breaking and construction began on a new women ' s dormitory to house 105 women. The administration named this new residence hall for Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Arnold, founders and longtime trustees. Bryan ' s upperclass women joyously moved in on January 28 after only a year of waiting. Symbolic construction began on Rudd Memorial Chapel with the erection of a seventy-five foot high white aluminum and acrylic cross in 1972. Designed by Bryan art instructor Wayne Hook, the four-armed cross with corresponding tip symbolized Bryan ' s motto, Christ Above All. Actual construction of the chapel began in 1975. Originally conceived in 1970, the fine arts complex would hold eleven practice rooms, six classrooms, two art studios and seat 1,159 people. In 1976, Equitable Church Builders of Nashville completed the new chapel at a cost of $1,095,000. Student attractions became the popular pastime on campus. The renovated stu- dent center, the Lion ' s Den, provi ded the ideal place for relaxation and inter- collegiate fellowship. The 1975, 1976, and 1977 soccer teams spread the repu- tation of Bryan College all over the United States with their three con- secutive national championship titles. Almost as if to acknowledge Bryan ' s fruition of a dream, a memorial road sign giving the basic history and stand of the school was erected by the Ten- nessee Historical Committee in the 1979-1980 school year-Bryan ' s fiftieth anniversary.

Although not a semi- nan graduate, Guille with two honor- ary degrees of Doctor of Divinity, held pastorates in several Presbyterian churches and was on the extension staff of Moody Bible Institute for fifteen years. Dr. Guille assumed administrative and Bible-teaching positions at Bryan in 1930. He died suddenly in November of 1931 after a little more than a year as president. Malcolm W. Lockhart (1931-1933)-After Dr. Guille ' s death, vice-president Mal- colm Lockhart reluctantly accepted the office as president, preferring to remain in promotion and fundraising for the college, with which he had been associ- ated from 1926 as the first employee of the Bryan Memorial Association. Be- cause of ill health brought on by ten- sions created by the continuing national economic depression, after two years Dr. Lockhart was advised by his physi- cian to give up the presidency. He died in 1940. Judson A. Rudd (1933-1955)-Few men are as responsible for the growth and es- tablishment of Bryan University as its third president, Judson A. Rudd. Dr. Rudd came to Bryan from Colorado in 1931 after holding teaching positions in Texas and Alabama. The former mathematics professor ' s presidency spanned times of unrest, depression, and war. Yet Bryan survived these years and prospered during his administration. Rudd sought counseling in public rela- tions, fundraising, and building pro- grams, to bring about the final com- pletion of the main administration building. But poor health forced Rudd to resign in 1955 after twenty-four years of service to Bryan. Actively serving Bryan until his death in 1970, Rudd was the viable moving force behind the school ' s success for over two decades. Theodore C. Mercer (1956- ) The epitome of the spirit of Bryan College is its current president, Dr. T.C. Mercer. Born and raised in nearby Spring City, Dr. Mercer, majoring in religion and English, was educated at Bob Jones University and the University of Chi- cago. At Bob Jones, Dr. Mercer served in teaching and administrative capaci- ties. Immediately prior to coming to Bryan, he was on the administrative staff of Muskingum College, New Con- cord, Ohio. Dr. Mercer became president of Bryan in 1956. Well acquainted with the area and school, Mercer immediately im- proved town-college relations with his warmth and smile and by a record of service in community organizations. During his administration, Bryan has built three new dorms, a gymnasium, and a fine arts complex and has reno- vated all areas of the main building. With his ever-present sincerity, friend- liness, and leadership, Bryan continues to prosper and grow in the Lord. 4+ • ' fett M BL HbB B i j mJ M 11 ' %4 L tf, w. jfcp lli Presidents CHRIST ABOVE ALL Robert Andrews-1967 William Bauer-1978 Mayme Bedford-1965 Steve Bradshaw-1975 Constance Branson-1979 Brian Chapman-1980 Robert Conrad-1975 Richard Cornelius-1955 Karin deRosset-1964 Wayne Dixon-1964 Kenneth Froemke-1968 Barbara Howard-1973 Kent Juillard-1962 Delura Kindsfather-1979 Kathy Levengood-1978 David Mercer-1976 Joel Pearman-1971 Lynne Peterson-1972 Rebecca Peck-1940 Mary Frances Rudd-1967 Joseph Runyon-1978 Zelpha Russell-1938 Walter Seera-1968 Virginia Seguine-1954 David Shaver-1979 Charles Taylor-1979 Jeffrey Tubbs-1975 Alan Winkler-1960 David Wright-1974 Kermit Zopfi-1950 Bryan College has long had a reputation for excellence. Several members of the administration, faculty, and staff who once attended Bryan have attempted to uphold and promote that standard in their careers here at the school. Filling positions here from dean of men or women, to head resident of a dorm, to loan clerk, to assistant chef, these Bryan graduates display persistent deter- mination to do their jobs with a genu- ine concern for inter-college commu- nity relations, and love for their alma mater and Lord. The majority of those returning enter the teaching, coaching, and administrative realms, but others have returned as mail clerks, main- tenance men, or freshman counselors. Most college graduates tend to seek conventional jobs-doctors, pastors, housewives. But then again, Bryan graduates are rather unconventional. .For these thirty, once at Bryan was not enough. 30 Returning Faculty ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH i 7 S i 1.

Now in its fiftieth year, Bryan College still stands for the fundamentals on which it was founded: commitment to Biblical standards and academic ex- cellence. The school is more than a simple memorial to a great man, Wil- liam Jennings Bryan, but it is a living testimonial to the faithfulness of God. In the face of national economic depres- sion, world war, and the demoralization of social values, Bryan College has sur- vived. With the prayers and financial support of its friends, Bryan continues to prosper. In this Golden Anniversary celebration, Bryan College actively seeks to amplify the school motto, Christ Above All, aiming to integrate faith, life, and learning. In the words of Presi- dent Mercer, We want only to be the kind of school that we believe God wants Bryan to be-reputable and solid in our academic work and ' fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. ' All else is sec- ondary to that aspiration. The activities at Bryan College present opportunities for students to develop a skill which the Lord has given them, for fellowship with God or one another, or for just plain goofing off. The opportunities have increased greatly since the early years of the college. This year the thrust of some of the different organizations was to build a real unity amongst the college family as a whole. The activities range anywhere from skating parties, concerts, films, and hayrides, to jail ministry, open air evangelism, nursing home ministry, and Bible study groups to choir participation, to chapel sessions, and to more. The emphasis of the college in all these activities is to keep Christ Above All. ACTIVITIES O L E G E CHRIST ABOVE ALL First Week Promotes 36 All school picnic 1 . Beth gets taken for a ride. 2.

It was a time of meeting fellow stu- dents, becoming familiarized with the school and the new area, learning the rules, getting ac- quainted with the staff and faculty, saying final good-byes to parents, and making adjustments to a new pattern of living. More than that, it was a time of drawing close to- gether as a class. Wearing the tell- tale beanie caps made freshmen vulnerable to the upperclassmen ' s jokes and pranks. This made identi- fication and unity a necessity among freshmen and this strength- ened the bond of their class. All the orientation activities culmi- nated in the all-college picnic. There on the beautiful grounds of Fall Creek Falls Park, under- classmen and upperclassmen alike got together. At last the freshmen were allowed to leave their beanies behind and share good times with the upperclassmen. On the day ' s agenda were fun and games, hiking, frisbee, soccer, group games, picnicking, singing, swimming in the bone-chilling wa- ter of the water hole beneath the falls ... It was a time of great fel- lowship, drawing the student body together as a whole. This was a day to remember. Acquaintances Freshman orientation 37 1.

Instead of crazy, embar- rassing games, the freshmen were given the task of de-littering Dayton. Armed with garbage bags and window cleaner, the freshmen treked down the hill into Dayton. The Dayton citizens greatly appre- ciated the swept sidewalks and clean windows, and the freshmen experienced a lot of fun and fel- lowship developing their new tound friendships. The President ' s Reception provided a time of nervousness, excitement, laughter, and friendship. The up- perclassmen and faculty provided songs and skits which helped ease the nervousness. The refreshment time after the program was a time of introductions, mingling, and bal- ancing the punch cups. By the time the talent show rolled around a month later, the fresh- men, feeling more of a unity, orga- nized and produced a very enter- taining program. The show consisted of some serious singing, acrobatic stunts, and a commercial featuring M Ms. After the night was over the freshmen had proved themselves worthy of their new status as Bryan students. 38 Initiation Freshmen Show Character 1 % J U- III 111! 10! 12 in the Light Freshman Talent 39 This being Bryan ' s 50th anniver- sary, the homecoming committee honored our heritage by making its theme The Olde South. The alumni ' s day was filled with excite- ment and competition between stu- dents from the North and students from the South, featuring every- thing from tug of war to catching a greased pig. The soccer game was no exception to this excitement with Bryan defeating The University of the South, 1-0. The half-time activities included the presentation of the homecoming court and the crowning of Daphne Kelly, the 1979-1980 queen. The night consisted of a banquet with lots of great food and a musical program, all in honor of Daphne and her court. The magic of the day ended with the film Gone Wit the Wind. It was a day for making memories. 1 . Our Bryan College Senior beauties, featured (L to R) are Jan Bothwell (1978- 1979), Daphne Kelly, Laurie Anderson, and Cherie Watkins.

First semester Rev. Mr. Ken Kirby spoke on dis- cipleship at the Spiritual Life Con- ference. Second semester saw the influx of seventy mission represen- tatives for the Missions Conference with the theme, Untold Millions Still Untold. The week included special meetings, workshops, and browsing through displays in the Lions ' Den. The featured speakers, Jay Kesler, of Youth for Christ, and Norm Cook, of Overseas Crusade, spoke on various subjects encour- aging students in their plans for the future. The highlight of the week came the last night of the conference. That which began as a short time of tes- timonies at 8:30 p.m. continued until 2:30 a.m. with many students shar- ing their burdens and recommitting their lives to the Lord. The conferences were a time of spiritual growth and provided a solid foundation on which to build the following semesters. 1. Rev. Mr. Ken Kirby, speaker for the Spiritual Life Conference, begins the new school year with a series of messages on discipleship. 2. Irl McCallister explains the approach of The Evangelical Alliance Mis- sion to Ellen Mains. 3. Rev. Mr. Ken Kirby exhorts the students on the demands of discipleship. 4.

The grounds crew was responsible for garbage pick up, raking leaves and shoveling snow. The food ser- vice workers had the responsibility of serving meals, washing dishes, and keeping the starved college students happy. The job was chal- lenging for sure, but the workers managed to have a lot of fun while meeting the challenge. The Resi- dent Assistants had a full-time job that ranged from taking all-in, to counseling, or to giving points. The R.A.s were also prime targets for practical jokes and some not-so- practical pranks. The teachers ' aides were kept busy typing tests, filing papers, and running off copies of class handouts. The student work program helped to break up the routine of classes and study. The major highlight of the program came once a month when all the hard work was rewarded.

Dorm life gave one an opportunity to grow in friendships, share in love, and really be one ' s self. Often that meant late nights, little sleep, and a lot of fun. In the dorm friendships were built that will last for a life- time. Also plain old dorm rowdi- ness provided a good release from studies. The small group Bible stud- ies and floor prayer meetings stim- ulated spiritual growth. Some of the best memories of college life are made in the dorm. 46 Dorm Life THE ART OF DORM SURVIVAL Dorm Life 47 Players Survive by the Skin of 48 Hilltop Players The Bryan College Hilltop Players, directed by Miss Rachel Ross, as- t ounded the student body first se- mester with Thorton Wilder ' s The Skin of Our Teeth. This was a highly unusual play which em- ployed both comedy and audience participation to trace the history of mankind. It was a tribute to man ' s persistence to survive by the skin of his teeth. Second semester brought with it two productions: The Image by George Alfred Scranton and I ' m Going to Order a Lion by Earl Rei- mer. The Image paralleled the suf- fering of Job with the suffering of Christ. I ' m Going to Order a Lion dealt with the very real problem of romance between the saved and the unsaved. In October, a logo was selected for the Hilltop Players as a result of a contest. Marc Mezner won the contest for his design. The Players formed as a club elected officers this year. Those participating in the club put in many working hours in order to produce their productions this year. 1 .

Its purpose is to provide Bryan stu- dents with a chance to involve themselves in Christian work, while serving the Dayton area. The Public School Ministry or PSM required the most student in- volvement. Each Thursday during chapel hour, students went out to local schools to teach Bible stories to area children. The Gospel Gimpers, a puppet team, presents the Gospel by ani- mating Biblical stories. They work in conjunction with the Public School Ministry to provide the chil- dren with a special treat and to add variety to the usual lessons. The three Gimper teams also per- formed in other area events and churches. The AWANA program met each Saturday morning in the gym to play with local children and to teach them the Word of God. The club emphasizes Bible memory through an awards system allow- ing the child to gain merit badges. 1. Rick Dunn teaches local children in the Public School Ministry. 2.

Many stu- dents adopted a little boy or girl and became their big brother or sister. Many of these friendships last throughout a student ' s college experience. Each year, the Summer Missions Program selects representatatives to represent them on the foreign home mission field. The organiza- tion helps provide support for the missionaries. This year students will be going to Japan, Germany, Co- lumbia, and many other places throughout the world. Discipleship groups consisted of four to eight people who met weekly to study the Bible, to set goals, and to pray together. P.C.I, provided the students with an opportunity to serve the Lord, the community, and themselves, while they learned by giving of them- selves to God ' s work. 1.

We ' ve Learned P.C.I. 53 Josh McDowell featured as a Staiey Lecturer, challenged stu- dents to be honest with themselves and with God. He also instructed the students how to defend Biblical doctrines which are questioned by secular philosophies. Another of his lectures encouraged seeking for God ' s will in marriage partners. The most practical lecture focused on getting desires and goals out in the light before God. Jeanett Clift George was the guest speaker for the Bryan College Lec- ture Series sponsored by the Divi- sion of Literature and Modern Lan- guages. From her involvement with civic groups and churches, she in- structed students on the potential for drama in the church. The After Dinner Players, which she founded in 1967, staged four plays demon- strating the effectiveness of Chris- tian drama. The Day of Prayer comes once a semester. Classes close so that stu- dents can focus on the effec- tiveness of their prayer life. The speakers were Reverend Mr. Ollie Goad from Colonial Hills Baptist Church in Georgia, for first semes- ter and Reverend Mr. Robert Led- ford, pastor of Calvary Bible Church, in Alabama for second se- mester. Small groups were orga- nized to pray for the needs of the college. Students were encour- aged to participate in the after- noon communion and in the offer- ing taken for starving people. Nine hundred and twenty-two dollars were collected and donated to World Vision for this cause. 1. Bethanie Borduin follows an After Din- ner Player through the buffet line. 2.

At the beginning of the year, Senate planned one of its largest projects, -Homecoming. The theme they chose was The Olde South. The members spent many hours organ- izing this. Also a new idea, using freshman initiation as a service to the community, proved very suc- cessful. The Freshmen went down- town to clean up the parks, sweep sidewalks, and wash windows. One of the three committees that made up Senate, the development committee, sent out a poll to eval- uate what physical improvements the students wanted to see on campus. After the results were re- corded, the committee acted upon a majority of the things that the stu- dents voted for, such as the addi- tion of more shelving space and the ordering of a New York Times subscription in the library. The Sen- ate also arranged for an increase in the library hours, took a group of students caroling at local nurs- ing homes, and arranged a blood drive each semester to benefit the local blood bank. In order to foster fellowship and sharing, Senate re-established Ko- inonia, took special offerings for the Summer Missions Program and the Boat people living in Dayton. 1 .

Student Senate Demonstrates Leadership Through Service Senate 57 The Concert Choir 58 Choir Works Hard The Concert Choir, under the di- rection of Mr. David Friberg, grew from fifty-five members last year to about ninety-five members. The choir was busy all year with spe- cial programs, Day of Prayer ser- vices, church programs and the big event, a tour of the Northern states. For Christmas the Concert Choir performed Handel ' s Messiah with members of the Chattanooga sym- phony accompanying on stringed instruments. Many hours of practice and preparation went into the Christmas program. The choir also sang parts of the Messiah, with the Central Baptist Church choir, for Easter. This time the choir was ac- companied by a maiestic pipe or- gan and a harpsichord. The choir in all their performances showed that they were a hard working group. 1.

Choir 59 1 60 Choir Tour The Choir The Choir, Madrigals and Gospel Messengers toured the states of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois during spring break this year. The tour included traveling by bus, singing every night, staying in various homes, and sharing Christ in song. During the day the choir spent most of the time on the bus travel- ing from one church to another. However, they took time out to do some sight-seeing, which included stops at the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, Michigan, and the Museum of Science and Indus- try in Chicago, Illinois. The choir tour was the climax of the year for the choir. Since there are many details involved, the work for choir tour was carried on all year. The work was all worth it though, for the time was well spent sharing Christ in churches and homes and learning more about one another during the hours on the bus. 1. The 1979-1980 touring choir.

Tours the North Choir Tour 61 • Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania were only a few of the many states the Gospel Messengers toured last summer. They gave concerts six days a week to both churches and camps usually taking Monday off to recuperate. The highlight of the tour was the last week which was spent at a camp. This year the Gospel Messengers participated quite actively in the Chapel ser- vices, a doctrinal series confer- ence, a concert in Etowah, Tennes- see, and a tour through New Jersey. Plans for this summer in- clude a tour through the southern states. A new Gospel Messengers team has been organized and plans to visit states in the Midwest and parts of Canada. The Madrigals, a special singing group on campus, were under the direction of Mr. David Luther. The group increased from fifteen members to twenty-five members. The Madrigal ' s activities included special numbers in chapel, Day of Prayer services, and a section of the program on choir tour. One major activity the Madrigals undertook was the film- ing of a Christmas special for one of the major television stations in Chattanooga. The Madrigals purposed to be a professional singing group and at the same time to use the talent God has given them to glorify Him. 1.

They performed during the chapel services, the fall and spring concerts, and at First Baptist Church, playing classical selections and hymns. A new de- rivative of the brass ensemble was the trombone quartet which in- cluded John Cassell, Jim Dirgin, Mike Richards and Mark Thomp- son. They also performed during chapel services and in the two concerts. In addition to the other home- coming festivities, the pep band played during the soccer game. Dr. Monroe, also teaching part- time at Covenant College, worked out a band exchange so that one large more fully rounded out band could be formed. The combined bands played selections from the musical Oliver and the First Military Suite. The band also provided spe- cial music for the Baccalaureate service at the end of the year. 1.

First semester was filled with many fun-filled events. The Alpine Slide, a late night activity, came at the begin- ning of the semester and was a good time to get to know new people while standing in line. The hayride at Jenkins ' farm was so well attended that the tractors and trailers ran twice, and the film was shown twice. Union hosted the Dogwood and Scott Wesley Brown concerts. They both combined entertainment with a spiritual thrust. Dogwood used a little dancing man to demonstrate the joy of the Lord. Scott Wesley Brown used a demonstration of trunks and trees to illustrate the point of self-acceptance. Films were shown on occasional Friday and Saturday evenings. The sophomores won a Union-spon- sored class competition night, and one evening students participated in the individual organized games in the Lion ' s Den. Many kids showed up for the late night roller skating party at the Red Bank Roller Skating Rink. Student Union made it possible for the students to get away from stud- ies, unwind, enjoy themselves, get to know each other a little better, and conguer the humdrums. 1.

Student Union— 68 Student Union The Student Union worked just as hard second semester as the first se- mester to relieve the study doldrums. The events started off with a Sadie Hawkins evening in February. The girls took the guys of their choice to a much appreciated John Fisher con- cert. Throughout the semester the Union hosted also the Pat Terry group and Chalice for a first time ap- pearance here. On some weekend evenings it entertained the students with films such as The Apple Dumpling Gang and the big one for the semes- ter, Hello Dolly. On April 2 many of the students left their studies and spent the day at Six Flags Over Georgia, which is a highlight of the year. This funfilled day included a number of special concerts by popu- lar Christian groups such as Pat Terry and The Sweet Comfort Band. The se- mester closed out with a hayride planned for students and the caravan prospects and a late night roller skate at a new roller rink. President Mickey Merrick reflected on the year ' s success that, It was a real good year for Student Union. The Lord put those in the group who were willing to work hard. The student re- sponse was great too . . . we got plenty of suggestions and help from the student body. The Lord worked out the many little details. 1 .

Adds Variety to Second Semester Student Union 69 The chapel services are one of the most significant aspects of spiritual guidance and influence in the lives of the students. Jerry Day presented first semes- ter ' s Bible Doctrine Series, Novem- ber 13-15 in which he explained the place of chastening in the Chris- tians ' lives. Second semester, April 7-8, Mickey Park spoke for the Bible Doctrine Series, teaching on spiritual gifts. At the last meeting of the Missions Conference at the be- ginning of second semester stu- dents testified to the Lord ' s working in their lives. Following the revival, Dan DeHaan spoke for several chapel services on the ten steps to drifting in the Christian life. The next week Don Lonie gave a series of messages on dating and spiritual maturity. Throughout the year a number of Christian leaders shed some light on spiritual principles in their mes- sages to us. In mid-October vocal- ist David Brubaker sang songs of testimony and challenged students to memorize the Word of God. Judge Braswell Dean followed at the end of the month with a speech on the appropriate Christian re- sponse to the controversy of evolu- tion. Second semester Manfred Kettering spoke on our responsi- bly of evangelism. In mid-April, Mr. Francis Dixon taught lessons from the lives of David and Jonah. 1 .

Chapel services 70 Chapel bless and inspire students Olf||H:l 71 While the second weekend in April usually provides a large number of Bryan, Covenant and Lee students an occasion for fun and fellowship in the Broccoli Bowl, the rain -forced cancellation of the Bowl, causing disappointment. The Broccoli Bowl is one of the most popular spring-time student events. The students serving as contestants spent many weeks pre- paring for the various competitions in anticipation of the unique time of tri-school fellowship . The biannual caravan, another Bryan tradition, brings in prospec- tive students to sample Bryan life. The first semester caravan held October 20th was highlighted with a David Brubaker concert in Rudd Auditorium, followed bv an ice- cream social. Michael Vitullo spoke the next day in chapel. Later in the day the students participated in a Student Life Tour, and that night went on a hayride out at Dr. Jenkins ' farm. The second semester caravan held April 17-19, was basically a spring- time version of the fall caravan, highlighted by an Al Holly concert, also followed by an ice-cream party. The chapel speaker David Bryan, touched on knowing God ' s will for our lives. Some of the pro- spective students attended a soft- ball game with Lee on Friday after- noon and wrapped up the caravan with another hayride and film, The House of Usher. 1 .

First semester was brought to a close with the Christmas banquet. A delicious buffet, prepared by the Argos, almost made one forget about upcoming finals. Second semester brought the an- nual Sweetheart banquet. This sit- down dinner was served by the faculty. The Gospel Messengers provided entertainment by singing a variety of old love songs. Dr. Jack Traylor (professor of history) and Karin DeRossett (dean of women) were chosen King Queen of hearts. They received a standing ovation from the other banquet guests. The Athletic banquet was the final one of the year. Guest speaker Dave Roller of the Minnesota Vi- kings spoke on the 3 D ' s of life, Discipline, Dedication, and Desire. Some of the athletes honored were all-American soccer players — Rockey DaCosta and Alex Harri- son. Eric Clark also made the all- American team in Cross Country. 1 .

Intramurals is an area usually dominated by the Senior class. However, this year the Junior class experienced overwhelming victory with 532V2 total points, followed by the Seniors with 289 1 6 total points. The Junior men dominated Football in the Fall, Basketball in the Winter but were unable to stand against a strong Senior softball team in the Spring. The loss was not major however, as the Junior women de- feated the other classes to win the women ' s basketball championship which contributed many valuable points to the overall class total.

Following the program for the eveing, the first event was to be Eat Hearty, Ye Mates! This presented a couple of surprises. The first was the setting for the din- ner at the Gatlinburg Sheraton. The second surprise caught every- one, even those who planned the night; instead of the chicken dinner that the banquet committee had planned, the Sheraton served the expensive prime rib entree. Steve Camp fulfilled the second item on the agenda, A Seagull with Song, entertaining the students with his moving message and song. For the next event, The Fountain of Youth, slides of the Senior ' s baby pictures were projected before all, and captions were read over the speaker system. The guests then changed out of their formal clothes into casual clothes, when the pro- gram called for a Seasonable Change. They then left Gatlinburg and pushed off for some action in Knoxville following the suggestion to travel to the islands. They landed at either a roller skating rink or a bowling alley. Every hour the students switched locations to alternate islands . At 4:00 a.m. the students finally set sail for Bryan. They landed in the Mist of the Morning at about 5:30 a.m. just in time for a hearty refreshing breakfast. 1 .

Rath- bun, called the audience to rise, the seniors marched into Rudd Autitorium for the Baccalaureate service. Mr. Dallas Beck offered the invocation, followed by special music. Mr. Jack Maroon read Ephesians 3:14-21, and Mr. Gayle Ryle issued greetings from parents from Proverbs 3:5,6. Dr. Francis Dixson preached on The Full- ness of Blessings in Christ . After the service an honorary Doctor of Divi- nity was conferred on him. Mr. Don- ald Smith offered the benediction, and the seniors marched out waiting for the last milestone in their college career, Commencement. As sunlight filtered through the trees the class of ' 80 walked to Com- mencement in the Triangle. An in- vocation was given by Mr. George T. Wright, followed by a reading from I Corinthians 1:18-31 by Mr. Roy E. Thomas. Mr. Edwin H. Wyman brought greetings from the parents. Dr. Mercer and Dr. Keefer presented academic degrees and diplomas. This year ' s speakers were seniors, Mi- chael P. Bagdanovich and Ronald R. Ruark. Awards and honors were then presented to the Seniors. Mr. Joel Pearman welcomed the Graduates to the Alumni Association, then following a Benediction by Mr. Robert Sjoblom, the class of ' 80 left the Triangle for the commencement of their lives utilizing the tools Bryan had equipped them with. 1.

Graduation and Baccalaureate 83 The Triangle 84 The Triangle Broadens Scope In its second year, the weekly stu- dent newspaper, THE TRIANGLE, provides an opportunity for stu- dents to acquire valuable journal- ism experience while giving the college community information concerning current world and na- tional events, as well as local cam- pus news. A new column added to the paper this year was the Point Counter- point section in which opposing views of a controversial issue were defended by two students. THE TRIANGLE was also a means by which the students air their opin- ions in the Letters to the Editor sec- tion. THE TRIANGLE staff held a logo contest second semester. The winner, Marshall Camp, was awarded a ten dollar gift certifi- cate to Sine ' s Works of Art. THE TRIANGLE provided a valu- able service to the student body in its presentation of the news and events that affected the campus both directly and indirectly. 1.

Plans for the book included a different style and format than in the past and a couple special sections, one com- memorating Bryan ' s fiftieth and an- other remembering special things that made the year unique. This staff, which almost doubled last year ' s staff, contained many rookies who had to do much learn- ing. When it came time for the four deadlines second semester the staff really pulled together, and some spent some very late nights. Mr. Robinson, the staff advisor, gave the final say on the finished work. The future staff is excited at the prospect of putting the knowl- edge gained into use for next year ' s book. The editor-in-chief, Steve Witter, finished off the year by saying, The staff did much good hard work for the amount of time that the members had. The work on the yearbook was a good time for the staff members to hear more about the Lord, build some lasting rela- tionships, and learn more about yearbook work. 1 .

The Ones Who Put It All Together COMMONER 87 The intercollegiate sports at Bryan allow those that are more physi- cally inclined and that are able to train into good physical condition to gain additional abilities in their particular fields. Since the first year when both a men ' s and women ' s basketball team were organized the athletic department has been enlarged to include men ' s soccer, cross coun- try, basketball, baseball, and ten- nis and women ' s volleyball, cross country, basketball, softball, and tennis. Not only do these give the athletes a chance to compete physically but to learn teamwork. Much emphasis is placed on unity and the goal of the athletic depart- ment is to keep Christ Above All.

They carried a 7-7-1 record. All of the games lost were to teams who went on to play in the national tournaments. Individuals who deserved special recognition because of their per- formance this year are Rocky Da- Costa who was the offensive Valu- able Player, Jim Soyster who was the defensive Valuable Player, and Ray Kordus who was the Most Im- proved Player. He also received the Hustle of the Year Award. Although the team was young, Coach Reeser commented that he was sad to lose his graduating se- niors: Rocky DaCosta; Rusty Fulks, John Mark Rathbun, Mike Sayers, and Jim Soyster. 1 .

Although the team consisted of many new players, they played with a strong unity and determination so much to the ex- tent that they ordered shirts that read Moscow or Bust . Headed up by Motts Martha Ar- delean, the most valuable player, the team placed third in state, sec- ond in SCAC and fourth in MTSU invitational tournament. The entire team did an excellent job all season. A few girls that did exceptionally well and deserve recognition are Judy Ashley who served the most points (203), and was the most improved player, Linda Meneese who had the high- est serving percentage (95.5%), the only senior on the team, Nancy Gi- berson, had the most sets (690), and Martha Ardelean who had the most down spikes (199), and the most saves (68). Summing up the season Coach Tayloe said, We had a young team who played with a lot of de- sire and determination all year. They worked hard and continued to improve up to the last game. 1 .

They ended their season with seven wins and six losses. Even though some of the team members suffered injuries, the team ' s hard work and determina- tion payed off, for they came in first in the Southern Christian Ath- letic Conference, fourth in the N.A.I. A. District 24, and eleventh in the N.C.C.A.A. National Championship. Training along with the guys, Yvonne Heffner, Cindy Kuti, An- nette McMannis, and Barb Reese, competed in some of the races. Most of the time they ran against the guys, and against themselves, because there were no other girls teams. The girls were just plain dedicated to their running. Senior Eric Clarke was named All American N.C.C.A.A. as a result of many long hours of practice. Along with this he was honored with All N.A.I.A. District 24, all S.C.A.C. as the Most Valuable Runner and MVR for Bryan. Other team members honored were Tim Noe and Mark Padgett as All S.C.A.C. and Dan Henry who had never run on a col- lege team before was named Most Improved Runner. All those hon- ored were seniors.

With a record of 10-17, the Lions finished third in the SCAC. Many bright surprises highlighted the season. Sophomore, Ron Ny- berg brought smiles on both coaches and fame as he averaged 16.5 points a game. William Car- dell, who made first team all SCAC, led the team in rebounding with 10 per game plus chipped in with a 14.7 scoring average. Car- dell also made the SCAC all tour- nament team. Other individual honors went to Nyberg and junior Dean Ropp who both made all SCAC second team for the season. Awards presented at the athletic banguet in April went to Cardell, Most Valuable Player, Nyberg, Most Improved Player; and Ropp the Star Trophy. With the Lions losing no one to graduation, next year promises to be a great season. Along with Car- dell, Nyberg, and Ropp, starters Stacy Britt, and Bo Clem will be back to help lead the team to an improved season. 1 .

They led the school in spirit keeping the stu- dents involved. During soccer sea- son, anytime the Lions scored a goal, mini-soccer balls were thrown into the crowd of excited fans. They held a pep rally before the homecoming game to get the spectators pepped up to cheer for the team. During basketball sea- son, the famous Bryan Lion, who came back in full force after his off season vacation, helped the squad. The cheerleaders also organized a flashlight festival for the Temple game in which the student body greatly participated. The men cheerleaders for the bas- ketball season were Brad Bruner, Charlie Edgerton, Walt Jackson, Don Larson, Mickey Merrick, Dan Pope, and Bill Sjoblom. Delura Kindsfather, cheerleading sponsor for the first time this year, said of the squad, It was a great year. I loved every minute of it. The girls are a great group and did a fine job. I have nothing negative to say about the year. It was all positive. 1. During a time-out the cheerleaders psyche the fans up for more basketball action. 2.

Ca- rin Chapman continues to excite the crowds in her second year of cheering. Cheerleaders 99 The Women ' s Basketball program struggled through an 8-14 regular season record after finishing 10-11 last year. Injuries to two would-be starters and inexperience brought about the frustrating season. Knee injuries to senior star, Sandy Stack, and sophomore, Rose Slate, caused coach Jeff Tubbs to sub- stitute experience with youth. Sandy, able to come back in the second half of the season, helped win big games. Rose, however, had to sit out for the entire season. This year ' s squad, composed mainly of freshmen and soph- omore ' s, loses just two seniors. Playing in their last year, Deb Gar- ren and Sandy Stack will be missed and very hard to replace. Despite losing in the SCAC, the Li- onettes finished the second half of the season strong with a 7-8 record. The girls played a strong defense throughout the year and for the second year in a row led the SCAC in that category. Individ- ual honors went to Brenda Barn- ard, Sandy Stack, and Deb Witter who made all-SCAC second team for the season with Witter also making the all-tournament team. 1 .

The ladies winning season of 13-12 gave them a good berth in the tournament, but after falling into the losers bracket early in the day they were forced to play for sev- eral hours with only a short break between games. This, combined with the hot sun, resulted in a very frustrating day. The loss of Seniors Deb Garren (2nd baseman, co-captain) and Sandy Stack (pitcher, most valu- able player, highest batting aver- age, best defensive player and team captain) could present a problem next year. However, there are several talented players return- ing including Sophomore Linda Menees (most improved), Freshman Martha Motts Ardelean (most runs batted in), and Freshman Julie Snyder (most runs scored). In addition three local Rhea County girls have been signed to athletic scholarships. This should give the team a real boost as well as more depth. 1.

[ ;iini ' , 107 The scope of the academics at Bryan gives the students opportu- nities to specialize with a Biblical emphasis in the field that he feels he is being led into. The academic requirements and opportunities have greatly broad- ened since the founding of the school. Although the focus of the school has been narrowed from that of a university to that of a col- lege, the college has been well rounded into a Christian liberal arts college. This year the adminis- tration emphasized a somewhat stronger academic policy and pro- fessors taught their classes with the idea of Christ Above All. B R Y A N C O L L E G E ACADEMICS BIBLE GREEK Dr. John Anderson, professor of ancient languages, who completed his twenty-fifth year here, was very excited about the record number of thirteen students who majored in Greek, including the second woman in the college ' s history. More students discovered the ease with which Greek lends itself to a double major and therefore, ma- jored in Greek along with their pri- mary area of study. The depart- ment looks forward to the future because of the increased number of majors and of prospects. The Bible and philosophy division reached an all time high with thir- teen majors. Even besides these majors the department must also instruct the rest of the school in or- der to fulfill the graduate require- ment. Holding to their philosophy of instruction the faculty strove to provide the students with the tools they need to have a productive Bible study life in the future. There is a new twist on an old course this year. The New Testament Studies course required those enrolled to compile a notebook of researched and original work on each of the New Testament books. Also, more students took advantage of the fact that the Bible major lends itself well to a double. The two philoso- phy courses took the students from Socrates to Sartre ' in a historical overview of the subject. Dr. Irving Jensen also celebrated his 25th year as a Bryan professor. 1. Dr. Anderson teaches his washed herd. 2. Doctors Anderson and Jensen cele- brate 25 years of service at Bryan. 3. Ms. Winkler cleans up in his Bible classes. 4.

A new program re- quirement is the Field Experience Media course. This course gives the perspective education major exposure to the classroom teach- ing situation. The student spends three hours a week in a local class- room working individually with the children. In the senior year a whole semes- ter is devoted to student teaching in a local classroom. The student teacher gradually takes on all the responsibilities of the regular teacher. The Christian Education Depart- ment attracted more students than it ever has before. Dr. Brian Rich- ardson continued to coordinate the program as before. Bill Bauer made the load lighter by teaching both Practicums I and II and sub- stituting for Dr. Richardson. Both Dr. Richardson and Neil Prentice attended the National Christian Education Conference in Denver, Colorado. The Christian Education Fellowship gave any interested in Christian Education a chance for fellowship at some crazy parties and pub- lished several editions of the club ' s newspaper, THE EDUCATED LION, as well as annotative book- list in the field. Through this club those not majoring in C.E. still were able to be involved with it. 1.

Joel Rathbun and Ruth Subris won in the first sec- tion, Ronda Fulks and Martha Ar- dalean in the second, and Bobby DuVall and Bethanie Borduin in the third. Those participating in the ski- ing and softball classes took sev- eral ski trips to Gatlinburg and Renegade. These trips met with un- usually good skiing conditions. Karate, taught by John Ang, is one of the most popular Physical Edu- cation classes among the stu- dents. It allowed those involved to advance in degrees of karate. During the 12-minute run around the triangle, several students broke the established records in aerobics this year. Joel Rathbun ran 12% laps while Lyn Berry and Yvonne Heffner clicked off 9%. Coach Ree- ser awarded these winners with a free pizza dinner. This year ' s Psychology Department emphasized a program of prac- tical experience. Once a week each senior interned with local psychiatrists and counselors. This on-the-job training provided them with the skills necessary to enter a permanent position. The year con- cluded with a white elephant party at the Bradshaw ' s for the senior psychology majors where each se- nior was given a gift in accordance with his future plans. 1.

Physical Education 1 1 5 The departments of business and history sponsored several profit- able seminars, lectures and dis- cussions this year. The business de- partment held a seminar, sponsored by Dayton Bank and Trust Co. and Dayton Rotary club, during which the business majors, local businessmen and other inter- ested people were introduced to the world of microcomputers. The department of history hosted a series of sessions during which current issues such as SALT II, rein- stitution of the draft, women in the draft, and presidential profiles were discussed and sometimes hotly debated. In addition two spe- cial speakers came to campus, Dr. Louis W. Koenig, an expert on the life of William Jennings Bryan, and Thomas Fina, a member of the U.S. State Department, who spoke on SALT II. 1 . Computer experts lecture on the profits of computer use. 2.

This year, Kent J u i I lard, Assistant Pro- fessor of Art, gave a pottery exhi- bition of his own work for the col- lege and community. Another display, the student Art Show was one of the highlights of the year. Many students submitted entries in the area of pottery, painting, pho- tography and drawing. Dr. Ruth Kantzer, professor of English, judged this year ' s show. The music department provided many hours of fine entertainment through senior recitals, choir con- certs, band concerts as well as ap- pearances by special guests. In December, the concert choir along with guest soprano, Phil I is Sahadi, and guest tenor, Charles Ellington, led the college in worship through Handel ' s MESSIAH. 1 .

The purposes of the club are to pro- mote Christian fellowship, to foster an interest in mathematics, to ac- quaint students with vocations in math where they can serve the Lord, and to provide activities for healthy recreation. Special activities included volley- ball, viewing of the film Flatland, and a visit by Dr. James Giles from TVA in February. The department sponsored a math compentency test whereby a stu- dent may exempt his three hours of math for his general education re- quirement. It is also sponsoring a project to help the faculty in their advising of students with regard to math courses. The English department underwent important changes during this school year. Robert McCarron re- ceived his doctorate during the second semester of the year. Also, for the first time, he served as the head of the department. The cur- riculum was also modified so that an English major can now concen- trate on literature, drama, or writ- ing, and thereby specialize in his field of interest. The English club, the Tennesse Wits, functioned for its first full year with Dave Barbour acting as chairman along with Ka- ren Jenkins and Dale Urie serving as co-chairmen. 1 .

Continue to Expand The Biology Department has gone above and beyond the usual dis- sections and lab practicals. The department acquired permission from the trustees to offer a B.S. de- gree in nursing as soon as they raise $100,000 to insure feasibility. Next year students taking human anatomy and physiology will re- ceive four hours of credit instead of the previously alloted three. Also the department has made the ori- gins course an offering in odd re- ciprocal years starting in 1981. This was for an appropriate com- meration of the college ' s 50th Anni- versary. The Department of Biol- ogy feels this has been a year for achieving long range goals. The Chemistry and Physics Depart- ment further expanded their pro- grams. This year they have added an electronic top-loading balance and scintillation spectrometer (a sophisticated gieger counter) to go with; an infrared and ultraviolet spectrophotometer, a gas chro- matograph, and an analytical bal- ance, instruments which the stu- dents use in their general organic, and physical chemistry labs. Other highlights this year include the con- tingent approval of the nursing program, the new compound syn- thesized by the organic chemistry class, and an increased enrollment in all chemistry and physics classes. All things totaled the Chemistry and Physics Depart- ments expanded in these areas to give more of a quality education. 1. This one finally ran out of lives. 2.

In addition to their positions they are exam- ples and counselors in the ways of the Lord. The College has always sought men and women who would in- struct students in godly living. This year, as in the past, the faculty brought out the things of the Lord in relation to their courses. Also they were willing to sit down in their offices to discuss a problem with a student and lend advice. In their involvements with the students the administration, faculty, and staff strove to keep Christ Above All. ADMINISTRATION B R Y A N FACULTY, and STAFF C o L L E G E CHRIST ABOVE ALL Trustees Plan 1 26 Trustees For Progress The single most influential seg- ment of the college community is the Board of Trustees. This group of prominent Christian business leaders plans the progress and adopts the policies for academ- ics and student life. Many important decisions were made at this year ' s meeting in October. The agenda ' s top pri- ority was the expansion pro- gram. The first expansion con- sideration was the men ' s 174- bed dormitory. They initiated a two million dollar fund raising campaign to this end with plans to begin construction with one million dollars of pledges in cash. Next they planned phase one of the new gymnasium and discussed ideas for the new li- brary and learning center. They also changed the school ' s retire- ment policies to conform to gov- ernment standards. In planning the budget, they voted on a 15.2% increase in student cost, in keeping with the rising inflation. The school honored the long- standing board members during a chapel period, while they were here for the winter meet- ing: Mr. Lewis Llewellyn, Dr. Ian Hay, Dr. J.J. Rodgers, and Mr. R. Don Efird each received certifi- cates of merit for their years of service to the board. 1. Dr. J.J. Rodgers receives from Dr. Mercer a certificate of merit honoring his fifteen years of service on the board of trustees as chairman. Ian Hay and Mrs. Rodgers look on. 2.

While Dr. Karl Keefer returned to Bryan, Miss Zelpha Russell left her long-stand- ing post of Director of Admissions and became semi-retired. Dr. Kee- fer left his 9-year position as aca- demic dean at Bryan for a 13 year interval to teach psychology and later to become Dean of Education at the University of Tennessee. He returned to Bryan this year as Vice President For Academic Affairs. Miss Russell joined the staff in the early year of 1950 as an assistant in the Stewardship Department. Af- ter three years, she was led into Jewish evangelism work in Chat- tanooga, and then returned in 1960 as Director of Admissions. In this position she devoted 20 years to selecting Bryan ' s prospective stu- dents. During her early years here she also taught voice part-time. Miss Russell was honored at a re- tirement dinner attended by admin- istration, faculty, staff and Student Senate officers. She continues to work part-time with the Admissions Department.

The shifts in faculty this year in- cluded Mr. Dingess and Mr. Smith whose terms of appoint- ment were brought to a close. Mr. Dingess taught educational psychology this year on a one year appointment. Mr. Dingess ' future plans include pastoring and teaching. Mr. Dingess ' stu- dents will remember him for his popular Family Life class. The two most permanent mem- bers of Bryan ' s faculty, Dr. John Anderson and Dr. Irving Jensen, celebrated their twenty-fifth an- niversary with Bryan this year. Dr. Anderson began teaching Greek and Hebrew here in 1955, and has been teaching here ever since. He came to Bryan from Dallas Seminary, where he taught for three years after earning his doctorate. Dr. Jen- sen has been teaching Bible here since 1954, except for a one-year interval of teaching at Trinity Theological Seminary in Deerfield, Illinois. He has written fifty-three books. In the time period that all these men have served here, whether short or long, they have fur- thered the lives of their students within, as well as outside their classrooms. Dr. Willard L.

Unfortunately, such was the case this year with Coach Jeff Tubbs. Tubbs resigned after five years on the staff as full-time coach and several years of coaching while a student at Bryan. While on staff he coached softball the first two years, basketball the full five years and Cross-country the last four years. His future plans in- clube obtaining an M.S. degree in P.E. at Middle Tennessee State University and later work- ing for a D.A. His absence from Bryan will be acutely felt by many! Other important members of Bryan ' s community, the Argos, fortunately plan to continue their service in the years to come. During their years here, oper- ating the cafeteria under the Professional Food Service Co., they have come to appreciate the atmosphere at Bryan. When asked what he enjoys most about his job, Mr. Argo replied, The quality of people here. Faculty— Stfill 135 Miss Wando Davey Mr. Peter W. Harris Mrs. Wilmo R.

Their com- mon bond of Christian love en- ables them to fellowship with each other through their studies, work, play, or clow ning around. If | m Since the early students, who were men and women primarily from the Dayton area, Bryan now attracts students on a nationwide basis. The students come from many more places and travel many more miles. Although the enrollment has gone up greatly since those early years, the students have learned how to work with each other through the spirit of love. This year this spirit of love was fostered strongly by dorm life, which caused many to learn more patience. The class outings such as prayer breakfasts at the bluff, picnics, fellowship times in the Lion ' s Den, and ice cream par- ties furthered this spirit in each class. These events, the attitudes of students, and other things resulted in a real unity providing the atmo- sphere of a college family in which the students focused on keeping Christ Above All.

After a humiliating and tiring first week full of beanies, ini- tiations and meetings, the doubts became cer- tainties. However, after several weeks, most of the freshmen became adjusted to their new surroundings and began to settle into the college routine. I n .In 14 1 Months before February the freshman class offi- cers began planning the Valentine banquet. Innu- merable details clam- ored for attention. Many hours were spent in fran- tic, frustrated brainstorm- ing and careful, though panicked, planning. After a delicious meal prepared by Argo and Company, and served by costumed members of the faculty and staff, the King and Queen were presented. Dr. Jack Tray- lor and Miss Karin de Rosset, as the reigning couple, were serenaded by the Gospel Messen- gers with Aura Lee and If Ever I Would Leave You.

These people organized group activi- ties to help unify the class. The class officers came from a variety of backgrounds, but they had at least one thing in common— a love for oth- ers through Jesus Christ. Working through this love they worked to- gether as a team to form a unique freshman class.

At the parties the class had refresh- ments and played games. This provided a relaxed atmosphere in which the class forgot the pressures of the week and learned more about each other. The first party ended up rather special. After most of the class had left the party, about twenty class members stayed behind and shared problems and concerns, lifting them up in prayer. 160 Juniors Juniors Put Prayer n Action [LP A . 1 .

Tom Branson sang to the class, I am loved . . . you are loved ... I can risk loving you . . .

During this time they utilized humorous skits and character representations of faculty and staff to present their feelings and interpretations of events that have made an impact on their lives over the past four years. Following chapel, approximately seventy seniors left for Camp Cloudmount in Mentone, Alabama for a few days alone as a class. It was a great time for fun, fellowship and some reflection. The flexible schedule allowed plenty of time to explore all the surrounding faci- lities and attractions namely golf, canoeing, volleyball, hiking, tennis, swimming, etc. Gary Phillips, a former Bryan professer led the trip ' s spiritual emphasis with three unforgetable messages on ser- vanthood . The climax of the trip was the campfire on the last eve- ning. The reality of having to say many good-byes was brought near to every heart. Although the eve- ning air made nights a little chilly, the chance to be together for one last time in an informal way pro- vided all the warmth that was needed. On a more serious note senior ves- pers presented an opportunity for the class of ' 80 to share the full meaning of Christ in their lives through music, personal testimony and dramatic monologues. The en- tire program centered around re- flecting upon the greatness of God and the way He had performed many miracles in each of their lives. 1 .

In world news this year, the most out- standing event was the Iranian hostage crisis. This violation of international law was a shock to people all over the U.S. and quickly became the subject of much de- bate. Do we declare war? Do we try to settle peacefully? What does the Bible say concerning such an issue? Bryan College did not stand idly by. Putting convictions into action students began an around-the- clock prayer chain. When asked to com- ment on the Iranian hostage situation, Scott Hooker stated, Day one was one day too long; it has hurt the international reputation of the U.S. Another unique issue this year was the de- bate over whether to send American com- petitors to the Olympic Games in Russia. This debate arose in response to Russia ' s invasion of Afghanistan. President Carter called for all athletes to boycott the Olym- pic games. When he was given negative re- sponses from other countries, the question became, Does the U.S. go; if not what do we do with our athletes who have trained for the last four years?

Inflation has also hit the U.S. this year. Prices have risen at a rate never before. Gasoline which last year cost 52 cents a gallon is now a dollar and continues to rise. Students ' responses to this was best sum- marized by Tom Shoaff who commented, It doesn ' t matter to me as long as I can pay for it; but it is too high. Bryan stu- dents felt the burden of inflation, and as a result short distances that once were driven are now walked. Gasoline prices were not the only area hit by inflation. Tui- tion costs will be up next year, making this the last year to attend Bryan for under $4000. Board members approved a thir- teen percent increase in tuition fees. The Iranian situation, the Olympic debate and inflation were a few of the major is- sues which attracted the interest and at- tention of Bryan students this year.

I . ) At two-thirty a.m. on January 11, 1980, long past the strictly imposed college cur- few, the campus was suddenly flooded with hundreds of excited students. What Hap- pened? A mass rebellion? A late night skat- ing party? No, what happened that Friday night can never be fully explained or completely forgotten. It all began when the administration mixed sixty-two veteran missionaries with over 600 vacation-tired college students for the 1980 Missions Conference. But when God touched the li ves of missionaries and stu- dents alike, a scheduled one hour meeting turned into a six hour informal time of tes- timonies and revival. In addition to the required chapels and conferences held on campus, six students attended the Toccoa Falls Missions Con- ference and twenty students participated in the Urbana Missions Conference. Today 179 Society Bryan Today Page 4 C Society • • • ) Working to overcome the lack of a college home economics program, the Bryan Women ' s Auxiliary sponsored monthly seminars which introduced interested girls to various aspects of homemaking. One seminar taught the girls how to make homemade bread. In addition to the semi- nars, the B.W.A. baked many birthday cakes for students and planned the annual engaged couples retreat. Led by Dave Marvin, the Pastor ' s Fellow- ship sought to prepare future pastors for the ministry and provided preaching op- portunities in the local area. To gain fur- ther experience, the fellowship took part in a chapel service. The International Student ' s Organization provided fellowship and activities for inter- national students. An overnight camp-out in Pocket Wilderness highlighted the activ- ities offered by the I.S.O. each month. The Christian Out-Reach for Evangelism club (C.O.R.E.), was formed as a result of the Bryan Missions Conference and en- couraged witnessing among students. Its members sacrificed their Saturday morning sleep to tell others about their faith in Jesus. 1. I hope Karin is watching this. 2.

Finishing in three hours and seven minutes, Dan reported that it took him forty-five seconds just to cross the starting line and over two minutes before he could break into a jog. Although Dan became sick at the eighteen mile mark, he managed to fin- ish in the top 3,000. Interest in a new sport initiated last year on campus mounted as competitors par- ticipated in a frisbee golf tournament. David Zopfi claimed first place, throwing a cumulative of 32 under par. Four teams kicked it out in a six-woman soccer league. Each team met twice in regular season, and the team coached by Rusty Fulks won the 79-80 championship.

Dorm life makes up a big part of Bryan life and the individual dorms have their own unique style and personality. Houston Hall displayed a brand new trend with it ' s new head resident, Delura Kinds- father. No longer did the floors compete between each other as in years past, but they adopted the theme, One In the Bond of Love. This spirit of unity was greatly expressed by their water fights, pennied doors and other such expressions of love. Arnold, which houses primarily juniors and seniors, changed from its once peaceful scene to a bit of rowdiness here and there. It also was the home of a few rather strange residents: some fluffy yellow ones that quacked and a black one named Rai- sin that hopped. Chapel Apartments, Rader Hall, and Hill- crest, the newest dorms, acquired quite a fame for their residents. The Chapets and Rader Rowdies were noted for their esca- pades after all-in. Most of the rooms in these dorms housed one girl. This setting did away with the typical dorm life scene and provided a home style situation. Bryan Village each year has its own unique character. It was noted for everything from putting bedroom furniture on rooftops to an every-man-for-himself snowball fight. With ninety-five residents who are all men, what can you expect? The Kermitage, whose occupants were af- fectionately called Kermites, jumped into an athletic scene which was quite unique. Nerf-basketball mania took the Kermitage in force, as almost nightly the guys chal- lenged each other to games of horse. Battered arms and bruises often were the rewards of a winning night. 1 84 Today Communal Living Bryan Today Page 9 1 . Jane Phifer models the latest in steam roll- ers. 2.

Funny events and some not so funny, but with every situation more can be learned about life in general. In reminiscing over the fun times, several events come to mind, such as the night of the black-out which conveniently fell near Halloween when students released a little pressure with shaving cream and egg fights. Remember the time when Ginny Seguine won the Hot Lips Contest sponsored by Hallmark cards? The COMMONER office is still unsure of what all that contest involved. There were, as always, a few pranks pulled such as the night the doorway to Mr. Zopfi ' s office was blocked with a barra- cade of bricks. Or the time Mr. Wykstra ' s office accumulated quite a bit of newspa- per—a room full to be exact, along with a few strands of toilet tissue . . . then there was the time Mr. Hartzell ' s office door was painted flourescent orange. Dave Witham discovered that being the object of a prank was not much fun when he found his room furniture re-arranged with neat accuracy on Rudd Chapel stage. Now the Temple fans had quite a treat. When they brought out their spotlight to highlight their basketball players, Bryan students decided to help out by shining more than one hundred flashlights all over the gym. It went over well, but exactly who was in the spotlight, we are not sure. A few adventuresome students who were possessed with the idea of climbing a mountain but lacked a mountain to climb substituted a climb of the Administration Building hall. Each student was fully dressed in mountain climbing attire. Events such as these come to mind when the school year 79-80 is recalled. 186 Today Comics Bryan Today Page 11 1.

Today 187 Editorial Bryan Today Page 12 ( Editorials . . . ) In a day when controversy has become al- most synonymous with college campuses, Bryan students found several issues to de- bate. Hartley Kinsey and Harold Ebersole made use of a previously unused provision for appeal of a disciplinary measure. Al- though unsuccessful, Hartley triggered smiles in the halls with his uniquely de- signed T-shirt. One of the hottest questions discussed con- cerned whether or not beards would be al- lowed next year. With the final outcome still undecided, both sides continue to present serious defenses. Formal debates sponsored by the history department attracted record attendance and investigated topics such as the presi- dential election, the draft, and the military arms race. In general, however, the student senate and the administration representatives strived to promote a harmonious and peaceful environment for healthy debate. 1. Blaine Bishop debates a woman ' s place in the armed forces. 2. Charlie Goodman, another Bryan alumni with a beard. 3. Hartley Kinsey: But Mr. Zopfi, they ' re only bricks. 4. Ivey Harrington, Kathy Williams, Deb Witter and Patty Wright model the current hair fashions. 5. Fashion ' s latest shoes modeled by Bryan ' s latest legs. 6.

Cindy Ferguson models dress fashions. 188 Today Fashions Bryan Today Page 13 ( Fashions . . . ) Fashions continued to change both in the world and at Bryan College. For 1979-80 the trends for dress ranged from painter ' s pants and army pants to baggies and slit dresses. Limited only by one ' s imagination, women ' s hair styles included everything from long and straight to short and curly. A new trend was initiated in shoes. Docksi- ders prese nted the casual look and Candies left the closet for only dressy attire. For the athletically inclined, Nikes were fa- vored and flats with knee socks gave the prepy look. When asked which look she preferred Carin Chapmen stated, I like them all, I dress according to how I feel that day. Today 189 Retrospect Bryan Today Page 14 ( Retrospect . . . ) My most memorable experience at Bryan was: Laurie Anderson: Having Dale Urie as a roommate! Wayne Banks: Backing up into the front of Ward Chapman ' s new car with the school ' s van and hoping that Bryan ' s in- surance would pay for it. Shelia Barber: The night I and three other friends rolled the yards of Dr. Paisley and Mr. Hartzell. It wasn ' t until the next day that we learned we had been seen roaming around and someone called the police. Kathleen Beck: All my experiences. The thing I can say is that I cherish what I have learned, the people I have gotten to know here and the closeness of the col- lege family. Paul Bitner: The hills, the classes, the friends I have made; the studying, the work, the rules that had me enraged; the dorms, the dates, the games I have played; but most of all Pocket-Wilder- ness where I was engaged. Tom Branson: At the ice-cream parlor with Connie Reehoff and the lights went out due to an electrical storm and I had to hold her hand because she was afraid. It was our first date, later developed into marriage. Pat Brown: The time Toccoa was flooded and our student body raised more money than was asked us. It was great to see the true reality of Christianity in action. Sally Brown: Being campused for playing a tape recorder outside a night class. All it did was scream: I ' m just a tape recorder— try and give me points! Tim Cox: When I was introduced to a beautiful and wonderful woman of God whose personal walk with Him has been a constant exhortation and example to me. I look forward to the life we will share together as He leads. Karen Crowder: The last night of the Mis- sions Conference. I had a whole three hours of testimonies to give me plenty time to get really nervous before I had to sing, and those big chairs are very uncomfortable! Diane Duckett: The Food Marathon on the 27 strip that began at Burger Basket and ended at Tony ' s. Bonnie Freeman: Going to Jr.-Sr. my freshman year. My date got up to get coffee and his chair tagged behind. Deb Garren: Beating the Tennessee Temple Lady Crusaders before a packed gymnasium at Rhea County High. Anne Glover: The night Dale Urie I played Ayatola kills the Shah in the lobby of Arnold. However, the night Beth, Sha- ron, Janet, Dale I became parading elephants in the library ran a close second. Laurie Hall: The times I have spent get- ting to know and understand my friends and acquaintances. Ivey Harrington: It ' s hard to forget a jump off a haywagon when you ' ve got half of your face black, blue, green, purple orange for two weeks! October 27, 1978. Pamela Harrington: Taking a friend to the doctor and meeting Tim there. Anita Jaggers: The day I became an offi- cial Hee Haw Honey . Karen Jenkins: Occurred on our freshman outing when I was tossed fully clothed, into an ice-cold lake— by my future fiance! Daphne Kelly: The many hours I spent fellowshipping with my friends over a container of fresh popcorn. Steve Kohl: Having the opportunity to hit Mr. Zopfi with a waterballoon after win- ning the balloon toss at Fall Creek Falls. Unfortunately, I did not capitalize on the situation. Meg Marler: Occurred in January of my sophomore year when a very special young man asked me to a basketball game. This special young man is soon to 190 Today Retrospect Bryan Today Page 15 be my husband! Tad Maroon: Attending the Toccoa Falls Missionary Conference the weekend that the dam broke killing many students at the college. Becca Mitchell: My 1:00 a.m. ride in the laundry bucket given me by Diane Duck- ett. Needless to say, the bucket and I ended up in a heap, and I ' ve never asked Diane for another ride. Tim Noe: Telling Dr. Richardson ' s C.E. of Adults Class about my giving bananas to Barb. Sam Oleka: Overcoming my cultural shock and the effect it had on my hard- est course— biology. Mark Padgett: Gospel team trip to Mary- land last year. The van conked out and we were stranded for about five hours in Bristol. We finally rented two cars, left the van in the parking lot, and continued on our trip. Dan Pope: The good time of Biblical In- tro. Class and the camping trip to Buz- zard ' s Point, just learning about God ' s word and spending times with good friends. Linda Porter: The culmination of a goal . . . that of graduating from Bryan. There have been many stepping stone experiences that have made graduation a reality yet the day-by-day strength and grace of God has been and will forever be present in my memories of the past years at Bryan. Beth Redden: The many nights spent sharing with friends over a big batch of popcorn. Susan Smith: Remember ... a lonely train whistle blowing; merry Pocket creeks a flowing; blue skies with fluffy clouds; birds singing— SPRING! Remem- ber .. . Bryan, Dayton, friends and good times. Remember . . . because they ' re gone unless remembered. Sandy Stack: Receiving the award for the Female Christian Athlete of the SCAC in 1979-Basketball. Sandy Swed: A blind date riding on the emergency brake to Chatty with five other people in a Pinto. A most memo- rable first date with Charlie, Laurie Bar- ton, Mike Gooch, Cindy Braden and Ran- dall Southard. Martha Thomas: The time I went home to Atlanta with my roommate, Margaret Luck Jones, our freshman year. While going into the Peachtree Plaza Hotel I got stuck in the revolving door with a drunk man for about 10 minutes. He passed out and I had no way to get in or out. Dale Urie: Late night discussions over hot tea with dear friends. Cherie Watkins: My time with a gospel team my sophomore year. The Gospel team went to Florida during Spring Break. We had the best time of sharing and witnessing. The time I went to Pocket Wilderness with my roommate and other people and sat down on a bug infested log. I itched for a week after. I was trying to be very nonchalant about scratching in a certain place, but it was hard. Kathy Williams: Becoming Mrs. Mickey Merrick at a shot-gun wedding held in the Lions Den. (of course, it was prob- ably Mickey ' s most forgettable moment!!) Peggy Woodward: Being with my friends. Truly, The only rose without thorns is friendship. (Mile. DeScunder) Gregg Wright: Finding and marrying the girl of my dreams. Today 191 People Bryan Today Page 16 ( People ... ) In this section, the Commoner has attempted to portray the unique qualities of Bryan College 1979-80 that made it distinct from years past or future. The most distinctive characteristic of Bryan this year, however, was the people that made up the col- lege community. The town of Dayton, although not large in size, presents a good at- mosphere for Bryan College, al- lowing it to have a more concen- trated effect on the surrounding communities. The town also has a reciprocal affect on the school. Bryan was founded as a result of the work of some local business- men, who served on the organizing committee of the college. This year many of the local merchants did the Bryan students a favor by giv- ing special services or discounts to them. The college also affected the town because of its business deal- ings and primarily as a result of the lives of the students as they worked or shopped downtown. The community relations were strengthened as Bryan cooperated with the town in different ways such as the freshmen initiation, in which the freshmen cleaned up the town, and in the Senate sponsored Red Cross Bloodmobile drives. In its dealing with the town Bryan en- deavored to keep Christ Above All. ADVERTISEMENTS B R Y A N C O L L E G E CHRIST ABOVE ALL I ROGER ' S PHARM QY f f ' i £ 1 94 Advertisements 133 E.
