Though they have responsibilities of their own, they find time to help out students in a sometimes non-academic atmosphere. It is this personal emphasis that makes Bryan College more than just another school.

Administration, Faculty Staff 29 5 .;- y-.- Daniel F. DeHaan 1948-1982 As we look back at our chapel speakers, one man stands out in our minds — Dan DeHaan. We as students appreciated and loved Dan for his honesty in sharing spiri- tual truths, his guidance on dating issues, and his direct challenges to live a life more committed to Christ. Dan set before us an example of a strong love for Christ, a willingness to be a ser- vant, and dedication to the cause of Christ. As we think of Dan ' s life, the verse Paul wrote just before his death comes to mind, I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course. 1 have kept the faith (II Timo- thy 4:7). Because of the respect we hold for this servant of God, the Commoner staff dedi- cates the 1981-1982 yearbook in the mem- ory of Dan DeHaan. 30 Dedication In Memoriam Dedication 31 Activities 32 Activities a H PIH ta lHS-- KSH i HI %t i M ■' T ik 1 W r ' .Jft ' BK y l Bji pi ?Ps i« 7 B ■O ' Sj H ' A HIH kIiI ' i gJ E Jj y iJ L B - «:) I Kl B fl k Hi Activities 33 The Arrival First impressions are very important. This is especially true for the incoming freshmen. The college faculty, administration and student leaders plan many activities to help the new students become acquainted with each other and with life at Bryan. Many adjustments are made for each individual; new friends are made roommate(s), strange games, many meetings, rules and BEANIES. All of this means freshman.

This is all planned by the R.A. ' s to help the students get to know each other, the other R.A. ' s, and the president and his wife. Rhea House Party 35 In the Spotlight Student Gnion organized an evening of fun-filled events which included a search game, spoon relay, lifesaver relay and human pyramid relay. A select group of upperclassmen attempted to soak those who weren ' t wearing their beloved beanie. After the recreation, SG provided watermelon for the class as a reward for their participation. The class made their first debut on stage in the ann ual Freshman Talent Show. Many hours of hard work by the committee and performers was put in to show the college the talent that the ' new kids on the block ' have. Probably the most dreaded event which occurs for the new students is the President ' s Reception. The first date on campus, and no one knows who his date is. Senate officers spent many hours in pairing up couples who meet on a platform in the spotlight. Entertainment was by the Gospel Messengers and members of the Faculty.

It started as a morning filled with exciting group recreation led by the R.A. ' s and Senate personnel. But the fun didn ' t end there; after Carol Smith led the college in a few songs, Bryan Latchaw had a short devotional prepared. The climax of the day was bar-b-qued chicken, prepared by the Argo ' s and their student cooks. The rest of the day the students were free to do whatever they wished. Some went exploring, some swimming and some found other ways of exerting energy. But for all it was a time in which to get to know each other better in an off-campus setting. Top: Spell what!?

Water fights in the dorm and outside, Secret Brothers and pals between Arnold 3rd and Long 3rd, Huston main and ground and Long main and ground floors, jazzercise, prank fire alarms at any hour of the night, fire crackers in the halls, throwing fire balls into outside trash bins, shaving cream fights, ice- cream parties, re-arranging someone else ' s room or completely moving them out, rabbits, food parties, popcorn anytime, wrestling, rock band imitations, rolling a friends room, late night talks, Bible studies, prayer partners, all night studying.

Dorm Life 41 With the help of Student Gnion, almost every weekend was filled with something to do. Gnder the creative leadership of David Conner, SG brought a variety of films and concerts in hope of pleasing all. Films included, ' Rocky, ' ' Escape to Witch Mountain ' , ' Birds ' , ' Muppet Movie ' , and ' Benji. ' Concert appearances included Glad, John Fischer, David Meece, Pat Terry and Tom Frazier. In addition to these, several late night activities were planned; YMCA in Chatty, roller skating at Red Bank, and late night on campus. Other activities included the Chug-a-lug Contest, Bryolympics, Pumpkin Carving Contest, and slave auctioning of SG members.

Student Union 45 Intramural athletics serve not only as class competition in men ' s and women ' s basketball, and Softball, and men ' s football, but also as a way of getting rid of the tension from the academic life. This year the senior men ' s team took top honors in all the sports. Though the sophomore men ' s team won the baseball championship game. The senior ' s winning in all the sports was a result of four years of practice together. The senior women ' s basketball team took the basketball championship and the junior women ' s softball team won the Softball championship.

Three or four times weekly, students are spiritually enriched by stimulating speakers from both on campus and off. This year ' s Days of Prayer speakers were fathers of Bryan students. First semester brought Rev. Tom Bennett to campus; second semester ' s pastor was Rev. A.P. DeKlerk. Spiritual Life Conference included several messages by Fred Nader. Dan DeHaan presented Biblical viewpoints on interpersonal relationships and dating. Two special series featured Texans: Dr. Charles Ryrie for Staley Lectures, and Dr. Richard Seume for Bible Doctrine Messages. Other multi-Chapel series included pastors of Bryan ' s students, our own students and professors and visiting lecturers as Cleanth Brooks from Yale. All in all, Chapels were an integral and important part of Bryan ' s emphasis on the well-rounded Christian. Top: Dr. Cornelius, No comments from the audience, please.

Homecoming is one of the highlights of the college year. It brings together alumni, friends, and current students for a weekend of activities. The weekend includes a soccer game, crowning of the Homecoming Queen, and a banquet. This year ' s soccer game against Vanderbilt, was a crowd-pleaser. Despite the Lions effort in the overtime period, Vanderbilt finished ahead by one goal. The half-time program resulted in the following court: Freshman representative, Kendall Forsythe; Sophomore representative, Sandy Ross; Junior representative, Betty Ann Beck; Homecoming Queen, Kara Benedict.

Homecoming 51 Big Social Events What would Bryan social life be without its banquets? Throughout the course of the year, Bryan students have the opportunity to attend six major banquets. The first banquet, Homecoming, was sponsored by Student Senate. The theme was Paris , and after eating, the movie ' Les Miserables ' was shown in Rudd. The Sophomore class selected a western theme for the Thanksgiving banquet, supplemented by extra entertainment at the Fary ' s barn. The Seniors put together a Christmas extravaganza, explaining the true meaning of the holiday season. The freshman class reversed the normal order of things by scheduling a Sadie Hawkins day, of which a lot of aggressive women took advantage. Between the Argo ' s cooking and good entertainment, banquets at Bryan this year were a successful venture. 52 Banquets Top left: Betty Ann Beck and Bryan Latchaw, A penny for your thoughts.

Under tlie leadersliip of President Bryan Latcfiaw, Vice- President Rick Dunn, Secretary Betty Ann Beck, and Business Manager Linda Ross, Senate undertook several activities to increase the student body ' s awareness of its role on campus. This included redoing the benches in the Triangle and adding stairs at the soccer field in preparation for the Homecoming weekend. Student Forum also came into being in order to better the communication channels between the students and the faculty and administration. Other activities that Senate was in charge of were the Homecoming Banquet, Red Cross blood drive, writing letters to Russian Christians who are being persecuted, a Senate chapel, and introducing freshmen to college life on Bryan Hill.

Editor-in-chief for the entire year was Don Geiger. John Carpenter, Matalie Huesmann, Andrea Myers, and Laura Payne served as page editors.

It has not been any easy job for any of the editors, who in addition to this have academics and other extra curricular activities to attend to. Much credit is to be given to the other editors of the Commoner because of their hard work and late nighters in completing the book. Special thanks go to my sister, Tina Pierce, for all the work she put into the book after everyone else had left school. 1 could not have done it without her help. Thanks also go to the staff who worked on the book. Much appreciation goes to the several individuals who constantly encouraged me throughout the year. And many, many thanks go to Mr. Charles Robinson, our advisor, and Bruce Sandlin, our plant representative for the patience that they showed all year long.

In the fall, the choir and one of the UTC choirs joined together in performing Brahams Requiem ' . The spring semester was an even busier one for the choir. Most of their time was spent in preparation for the Spring Break Tour to Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and one day in Mexico. In addition to the tour, the choir joined with area churches for a Choir Festival. In all of their concerts, whether in a church or on campus, one could tell that all they did was built on the motto of the college, Christ Above All. Top: Mr. Friberg at the organ.

There are many different areas in which a student has to chose from and no one area is more important than the other. They are the following: Public School ministry, Gospel Teams, Nursing Home Ministry, Big brother Big sister, AWANA Clubs, Summer Missions Program, Bible Study Groups, Student Missions Fellowship, Community Outreach and Evangelism, Puppet Ministry, Pastor ' s Fellowship, Jail Ministry, and LIFE. Each of these ministries is headed up by a student vice-president who works under President Grant Scott, who in turn works under Al Kadlec, director of P.C.I.

Bryan had five players selected to the INAIA All-District 24 teams. Junior Scott Sanders and sophomore Jon Hurlbert were voted to the first team. Senior Bill Cave, junior Andy Patton, and fresh- man Doug Meyers were named to the honorable men- tion squad. Three Lions were selected to the INAIA All- Area squad this year. Jon Hurlbert was selected on the first team while Scott Sanders and senior Walt Jack- son were second team members. Bryan ' s 1981 leading scorer, Jon Hurlbert, was also selected to the All-South team and the INCCAA All-American honorable men- tion squad. Hurlbert is only the third Bryan player ever selected to the All-South team. Bill Cave was selected to the MAIA Academic All-American team.

Four players were named to the all-state team in- cluding Martha Ardelean, Judith Ashley, Linda Men- ees, and Colley Wood. During the season, Bryan captured three other tournaments besides the state tourney. Bryan placed first in the Tennessee Temple Tournament, the Milligan tourney, and they also won the NCCAA district five tournament. The core of this year ' s team will return next year for Coach Jane Tayloe. Most valuable player Martha Ardelean heads the list of returnees along with three-year starter Judith Ashley, two-year starter Colley Wood, one-year starter Jeanne Howard, and the most im- proved player for 1981-82, Kari Zetterberg. Seniors Kathy Kindberg, Linda Menees, and Barb Pratt are the players who will graduate, but with the core that remains, Bryan appears to have another successful season awaiting them. 80 Volleyball Left top: Colley Wood, Volleyball Gimper.

The highlight of the season was the capturing of the INCAA District-5 tournament. In doing so, three runners were named to the all-district team, Freshmen Lance Martin and John Jenkins, and Senior Mike Smith. In addition to being the District-5 champs, the team also placed tenth in the nation for the NCAA. Lance Martin paced the Lions in that race, finishing in 37th place. Martin was named the team ' s most valuable runner for the 1981 season. A host of new runners was responsible for the success of the team including Jenkins and another freshman, Steve Thomas. Senior Mike Smith was the number two runner for Bryan for most of the year. Bob Harris, in addition to Martin, Jenkins, and Thomas and several other top runners, will be returning, including Steve Hicks, Kerry Carver, and Steve Angliss. Top: Steve Thomas, I know I can ...

Their final record was 14-16 after getting off to a dismal 3-9 start. The team really gelled in the second half of the season when Ed Brill, a transfer from Navy, became eligible to play, running off a five game win streak to begin the semester. Tommy Anglea and Michael Dean also played extremely well throughout the season, Anglea clearing the boards and Dean keeping the pressure off Landes with his own soft jump-shot. Matt Landes and James Hunter were the floor leaders for the Lions, sharing the point position throughout the season. Brett Landes came into his own during this season and carried much of the offensive scoring load on his own, especially in post-season play scoring 31, 28, and 30 in his last three games. Landes was named MVP for his efforts during the season. Tom Anglea was named MIP, Brett Landes was named NCAA All-American, a very high honor, one seldom achieved by a Bryan player.

It became even younger as the only senior and junior players were prohibited from playing due to having been placed on restrictive probation. Eight players, ail freshmen and sophomores, completed the schedule, compiling a record of 3-14. Freshman INancy Liddawi was voted MVP for her outstanding play throughout the year. She led the team in scoring 15.5 and rebounding 13.4 in only her first year of college ball. Sophomore Karen Bradshaw was the other part of the Lady Lions ' scoring punch averaging 14.8 per game. Captain Jane Shaver commanded the floor game for the team with an average of 7.9 assists per game. Women ' s Basketball 95 Top: Sheri Arnold performs well under pressure.

It marked the first time a Lion squad had finished at .500 in seventeen years. A corps of new ball players including six freshmen, two junior college transfers, and one junior playing college ball for the first time joined with five returning lettermen to form the most solid team Bryan has fielded in several years. Chris Stallings received the MVP award for the second consecutive year as he led the team in batting with a .375 average as well as most of the other offensive categories. Doug Meyers, a freshman, compiled a 4- pitching mark for the Lions. Coleman will enjoy the return of all but four players for next year ' s squad. Seniors are Eric Boehm, Rick Hughes, Randall Southard, and Bill Zetterberg. Some of the highlights of the season were: a pair of splits with NCCAA district champ Lee, a 10-4 victory over arch-rival Tennessee Temple, watching Assistant Coach Bob Simen slip in the mud and fall before the largest crowd at Engel Stadium, and a dinner at Duff ' s compliments of Coach Coleman after a rainout at GTC.

Coach Jane Tayloe ' s squad had trouble generating an offensive attack this year, but they had a fine defensive unit which allowed them to stay close in most games throughout the season. Leading the team this year were all-state selections Sandy Barwick, Karen Bradshaw, and Jane Shaver. Bradshaw led the team in batting average, hi tting at a .440 clip. Shaver and Colley Wood also hit above the .300 mark, coming in at .327 and .323 respectively, while Barwick finished at .296. The Lady Lions placed second in the INCAA state championship and captured the District-5 tournament to highlight the season. Top left: Sandy Barwick, Go for it!

The theme for the evening was ' Never the Same ' , which was developed throughout the even- ing with an opening song by Carol Smith, through the concert by Tom Frazier, and through the showing of the Senior ' s baby slides. After the Banquet dinner, ev- eryone rushed to the Tivoli Theater for the Frazier con- cert, baby slides, and the film The Wackiest Ship in the Navy. There was then a mad rush to the Holiday Bowling Arena for 2 hours of bowling. Roller skating at Red Bank was the next event before heading back to Bryan for a 6:00 am breakfast. There are many things that will stand out about the whole evening, but none can top the creativity of six couples who chose not to skate during the last slow song. 1 ' k.- Top: Mr. K.

They worked all year long, making last minute changes, working out many details to make the banquet the best in several years. They are: Byron Alexander, Kerry Carver, Mike Toney, Amy Shelor, Paula Chappell, Leslie Farris, Carol Smith, Monique Pierce, Dave Ragland, Ray Kordus and Mr. Fred Bedford.

Junior-Senior Banquet 163 We Are Family Senior chapel started to the song, ' We Are Family, ' and then preceded into a preppy skit to the tune of the Dr. Pepper jingle. In a skit on the sounds of the library, the class selected the ' 3rd floor flush ' as the sound of the year. The class also did a short skit on Mrs. Argo ' s flower arrangements on the dining hall tables. Some of Bryan ' s most memorable chapels were once again viewed, in perhaps a different light. Mr. Alan Winkler (Howie Burgoyne) presented Cleanth Brooks (Terry Pucket), Mama Kooku (Cheryl Hoffman), Ed Lyman (Mark Karki), and Dr. and Mrs. Richard Seume (Kathy Day and Jerry Day) as they appeared at Rudd for the second time this year. Teresa Richey then fell off the stage before giving Debbie Bowles the Space Cadet Award. Billy Ray Lewter ' s Dress for Success models then modeled Mr. Lewter ' s (Walter Woff) unique style of dressing. They were Mr. Steve Bradshaw (Charlie Edgerton), Mr. David Friberg (Mark Ll oret), and Dr. Bob Andrews (Brett Landes). Dr. Mercer (Bill Haney) and Mrs. Wynsema (Julie Holmes) presented the faculty with appreciation certificates in an Honors Day skit. Then the Seniors joined together for the singing of the Alma Mater and a rendition of ' Those Were the Days! ' Once again ' We Are Family ' resounded from the speakers. The Senior class really pulled together as a family in the production of the traditional Senior Chapel. Top: Seniors in the Preppy Sl it, I ' m a preppy, she ' s a preppy, wouldn ' t you like to be a preppy too? Bottom: Chapels of the year. ' No Longer Strangers ' was the theme of the Vespers service planned by the Senior class. It opened with a piano organ duet by Scott Hooker and Brad Gee. The rest of the evening ' s program included a mixed choir, a men ' s chorus, a women ' s chorus, a brass ensemble and a men ' s responsive Scripture reading group. Also during the program several Seniors gave testimonies. Throughout the Vespers Service the Seniors praised God and presented the Gospel through the use of their talents. During the final song, ' No Longer Strangers ' , a slide presentation was shown. The Senior Class of ' 82 showed their families and friends that they were truly ' brothers, sisters, friends ' . 164 Senior Chapel and Vespers Senior Trip After a rough start, the senior class took their senior trip to the Smokey Mountain Christian Camp. Every night had a theme to which supper and the evening ' s recreation was planned. Monday night was Western Night. Barbequed chicken was served for supper and recreation was a series of relay games and the showing of the film, The Shakiest Gun in the West ' . On Tuesday night the theme was Italian; lasagna was served and recreation included a mafia shootout, a chug-a-iug contest, kill the godfather, and stomping the grapes. The final evening a Hawaiian luau was planned. The seniors tried their hands and bodies at a hula hoop contest, and a limbo contest. After- ward they all gathered together for a time of sharing with each other about the past four years and also the future. Other things besides food and recreation took place. Every afternoon swimming, sunning, volleyball, softball, and canoeing were available. Various other late night activities took place in the form of raids. Senior compliments and heart felt thanks go to Mrs. Ross who made the trip even better with all her meals that she prepared for the seniors. And also to Mr. Winkler for his participation in all the events and relays. That is something that all the seniors will never forget.

Reformed Theoloj -dl Sitnituiry City State Zip WITH SO MANY GOOD SEMINARIES AVAILABLE TODAY WHY WOULD SOMEONE CHOOSE REFORMED? Any seminary, if it ' s commit- ted to excel- lence, should place a high priority on the Scriptures. At seminary, stu- dents are en- couraged to evaluate life in light of God ' s Word. They are given opportunities to study, meditate, and plan for the direction in which God leads them. The students who choose Reformed are serious about their study. They come to RTS because they know we ' ll do everything we can to help them learn as much as possible about the Scriptures. And that ' s why we maintain such a high standard for biblical scholarship. Our students learn Hebrew and Greek so they can teach and preach with certainty. Some even take internships in churches to put into practice what they are learning. It is our reformed theology that requires this kind of biblical scholarship. As reformed Christians, we are constandy reminded to conform our faith and the practice of that faith to God ' s standards as set forth in His Word. We sincerely adhere to the Westminster Confession of Faith, but while doirig so, strive to walk a carefully balanced line between unchallengeable doctrine and open-mindedness. Where the Bible is clear, we stand clear. Where the Bible offers no definite conclusion, we hesitate to be dogmatic. We believe our name reflects the heritage and vision behind our seminary. We are evangelical, committed to the inerrancy of the Scriptures, to winning the world for Christ, and to the application of the Word to all of life. If you would like to hear more about RTS, write to me today, or call (601) 922-4988. ' ' I LIKED REFORMED ' S y Pope, raster Wheni appliedto RTS i knew what I wanted: solid, reformed theology and a biblical basis for a preaching and evangelism ministry. That ' s exactly what! got. But unlike some schools. Re- formed didn ' t make me feel trapped by their theolorical system. The f ac- displaved an openness and wannth I didnt expect at a seminary. Because of what I found at RTS, we ' re sending several peo- ple from my church to Reformed. Leon Sulzer (on the left) is one of them.
