Bryan College never was, is, or ever will be — in exis- tence in Dayton, Tennessee. To the world out- side, Dayton is just a quaint little town in which the Scopes Evolution Trial was held. One author writes There wasn ' t anything in Dayton then (1789), and there isn ' t too much now (1965). Bryan University and all the Bry- an memorial churches are about as they were — still-born. How can we explain this phenomenon? We know Bryan College is here; we know we exist. There is only one explanation — Bryan College is the world ' s best-kept secret! tff-fi If -TO 9« Iv. ' ■L wyfc ■AfiLSS r 4 v ? -JfM Everyday . . . ) • Different places for different people. For some, these ac- tivities were a common part of every day. Some waited by their mailboxes for something other than generic mail while others swung away on Bryan ' s newly covered tennis courts. The triangle offered the op- portunity to slow down for awhile and chat with a friend. Some found the gym a comfortable place to sweat, but others preferred the library to get some studying done. Around meal- times some checked out the cafeteria for the food while others found it a great place to catch up on the latest news. Near the end of the day, many found a walk to the grassy bowl and the flagpole to watch a glowing sunset the perfect way to start the night. What a beautiful campus for a school that supposedly doesn ' t exist. ♦ % •% f ? r Friends . . . ) % v d- , Newsp aper deadline, psychology test, act one memorized, BEM lesson due: these were all pressures that faced us this year. Academic and extracurricular activities were essential in making this year what it was, but think back and you will remember the times you spent learning, stretching yourself and just plain having fun with your friends — not the dates of the Punic Wars or what an augmented 7th is. Bryan ' s small campus and the low enrollment that we had this year made it easy to become over-involved, but it also created an environment filled with unity that was ideal for close friendships. Classes and over-commitment made it hard to make time for our friends, but aren ' t we glad we did? Night Life . Nothing to do? No homework left undone? Needed a break from the routine of the day or the week? There were some alterna- tives to these problems within the social life of Bry- an. On any given night, you could find plenty of ac- tion in the Lion ' s Den around the ping-pong, pool, and foos ball tables. Or you may have heard some- one jamming on the piano and decided to lend some of your talent. Then if you were worn out, you could hit the snack bar for a masterpiece milkshake or a golden order of fries. NO DOUBT there was plenty to choose from. Another opportunity for fellowship came within one of the year ' s open dorms, which provided the chance for guys and girls to check out the interior decorating of each other ' s dorms. There was never a dull moment if you took the time to look around and check out what was happen- ing. Bring on Penelope! Welcome to my humble home. We were privileged this past year to have three excellent leaders as our residence directors in the individual dorms. Debbie Lilley, the fearless leader of the ancient fortress they call Huston, was comfortable in her ground-floor apartment as she very capably led the women of Huston. Nan Turner ably took over the RD job in Arnold Dorm this past year, enjoying the activities and rela- tionship building that she encountered as she worked with the Arnold ladies. Steve Snyder, fresh from graduation a year ago, stormed Woodlee-Ewing Dorm with his magnetic personality and count-on friendship. The guys of Woodlee appreciated his efforts to instill a homey atmosphere throughout the year. All deserved a round of applause as they did excel- lent directing within their dorms. Steve, Steve, to whom we cleave! Rudd Memorial Chapel was first occupied in the fall of 1976. The Art Building was completed in 1975. INFO UNVEILED THE CAMPUS BUILDING Rudd Memorial Chapel is an impressive building named after Dr. Judson A. Rudd, who served Bryan College in several ways until his death in 1970. Rudd can seat 850 in its auditorium. Located in Rudd Chapel is Brock Bicenten- nial Hall, Bennett Prayer Chapel, seven teaching studios, ten music practice rooms, three classrooms, a choir room, and a band room. The Service Building is a two-story concrete complex that houses the maintenance, utility, and building and grounds de- partments. The Art Building, adjacent to the service building, is used as an art studio, art classroom, and storage area. ♦ Long Residence Hall ... 1 964 The Service Building is for maintenance and storage purposes. 10 Huston Residence Hall . . . 1964 Woodlee-Ewing Residence Hall . . . 1984 Arnold Residence Hall 1972 The eight buildings of Bryan Village were completed in 1961. The dormitories were all named after persons important to Bryan College. Arnold, Huston, Long, and Woodlee-Ewing Residence Halls were all named after founders and or Board of Trustee members of the college. Bryan Village is a complex of apartments for married and single students. Long and Huston dormitories each have fifty-two rooms with two persons per room. Arnold and Woodlee-Ewing are both built in suite style with a connecting bath for every two rooms. The four residence halls are impressive both inside and outside and are worthy of the distinguished names they bear. 11 ;■• y ' 0 uievillt V °4 jp ..•• ■,o-ri t V ' v r— V ' Tr. • ' • • y l_ Ky.

Where did you go? Dayton offers many places for us to enjoy that are a part of every school year. Whether eating, driving, shopping, or relaxing, we found that Dayton offered a hospitable, temporary home for us through- out the year.

Just nearby were the Graysville and Ogden bluffs, which provided a gor- geous atmosphere for quiet or fun, each with its unique view. Studying in peace or enjoying one an- other were easy while you soaked up the awesome scenery. Pocket Wilderness provided a unique character of its own. Sitting beside the water, taking a swim, or hiking through the trails were all satisfactory ways of enjoying Pocket. Many shared this nature exper- ience alone, or some with a special friend or two. If you cared for a little more noise and activity, Wal-Mart and the Strip were excellent solutions to your desire for activity. Each area of everyday life at Bryan was unique, but each provided enjoyment in its own, satisfying way. 13 President frA.Ak.

Character is being formed and values shaped at the same time as knowledge and skills are being acquired. Personal growth is accelerated. It is an excit- ing time. Friends who examine this yearbook will see people on the growing edge of life. The enthusiasm and commitment shine through. As students and graduates, you will treasure these people and the memories you share with them. May God grant to each of you a largeness of heart and a vision of what you can be and can do for God. May the future be just an enlargement of the experiences and the ambitions this yearbook captures. Kenneth G. Hanna President .•? ' 14 Vice Presidents } i i ! .

As one roamed the halls, he felt as Michael J. Fox must have felt. The 30 ' s, 50 ' s, 60 ' s, and 80 ' s became alive as one stepped into the time machine to embark on the road to nostalgia. My, what a trip! The week began with a look at old and new friends with Twin Day. On to Western Day as one recalled the old days of cowboys and Indians. Into the Hop we dropped as poodle skirts and greased hair were the rage of 50 ' s Day. The so- phistication of the 80 ' s was evident in the formal attire of Dress-Up Day. And, of course, the spirit and excitement of Bryan College was obvious on Red and Gold Day. One was quickly brought into the present while watching the AWESOME Bryan Lions. The soc- cer team displayed the skill of the future as they defeated North Georgia 2-0. The Lady Lions threatened the future of Maryville as they fought to the end. The cross-country team dis- played their timeless endurance as they competed against Carson Newman and Lincoln Memorial in the Bryan Invitational. If the skill of the 1987 Bryan Lions was any indication of what is to come in the future, Bryan College — LOOK OUT! It can clearly be seen that Bryan had quite a Homecoming week. As one traveled from the old handbook regulations of the 1930 ' s to the teams of the future, he realized how good he has it here. Too bad the world doesn ' t know Bry- an Colleae is here! 17 The Court Although Bryan College supposedly doesn ' t really exist, there surely were a lot of special people that attended here. We are all special in God ' s eyes, but there were a few that stood out in the minds of the students at Bryan. Elected by the Freshman class were Beth Parks and Jennifer Reynolds. The Sophomore class was represented by Mary Beth Hall and Monique Niederer. Susan Heasley and Gretchen Mann were chosen by the Junior class. Becky Hill and Shannon Law were the last Homecoming representatives from the Class of 1988. At halftime of the Homecoming game on October 3, 1987, the Homecoming Queen was announced: Miss Bonnie Wagler, a Christian Edu- cation major who has attended Bryan for four years.

For most of Bryan ' s 1988 seniors there is. While a few seniors have no idea what they will do when they graduate, some will get married, and others have even more years of school ahead, but a majority will go straight into the working world as church- workers, coaches, musicians, business people, missionaries, teachers — to name a few careers. Whatever they do, the 1988 graduates from the col- lege that never existed will make their existence known.

Many freshmen laughed after reading that statement — some in em- barrassment and others at the audacity of the answer. But like all the other freshmen before them, they were totally oblivious to the fact that the author of that reply knew something they did not realize yet. It wasn ' t long before some of the students who disagreed with that statement observed the words coming to pass. 28 Deborah Lawalin Christian Education William McDaniel History Nathan Padgett History Douglas Pearson English Cynthia Pope Psychology A surprise — read on. s the year progressed, the wedding invita- tions began to arrive.

Jonathan Brice, Raul Cruz, John Davidson, Alan Keay, John Kelley, Hans Kirkman, and Jon Whiteley all lived at the renowned, off-campus housing for men, BV- 1 7. In contrast to last year, there was a difference in attitude at B V- 1 7 this year. The guys were quiet, not known for their rambunctious acts. Of course, they knew how to have fun, but they did it in proportion. There was a wide spectrum of characters at BV-17, everything from R.O.T.C. to GQ. The various personalities worked together to form a complementary atmosphere. Living to- gether was hard at times, but each of those men respected each other, and that made for a profitable year. 32 is4 x4yi l Top: Noel Allen, V.P.; Joy Koch, Sec Treas.; Mark Jordan, President Right: Student Union Representatives: Dave Erskine and Denise Wagner. rhe Junior class was made up of a group of unique individuals which included musicians, athletes, actors and actresses, scholars, journalists, and cheerleaders. Many class members fit into more than one of the categories, constituting a versatile group that formed an active part of school this year. Led by President Mark Jordan, Vice President Noel Allen and Secretary Treasurer Joy Koch, they planned the prestigious Ju- nior-Senior Banquet. Their goal was that of all Junior Classes — to have the best Junior-Senior Banquet. But they also had other goals. The officers wanted to develop spiritual unity among themselves, so they could better serve the class. In addition, they aimed to improve the communication between class members and the offi- cers and to plan activities for the class that each member would enjoy.

On Nov. 20 the Chorale performed Vivaldi ' s Gloria. They also gave a Homecoming concert and sang in churches around the area. At Christmas they gave a joint con- cert with the UTC Singers.

Jenny Reed can type without looking! J ough, Cash, $, Bucks — how could we live without it? Everything MS these days costs money. Whether it be fun or school, we can ' t survive without it. As college students, we all knew what it was like trying to find ways to get the ever-popular dollar. Begging worked for some, but the majority of us had to get a job. Not just any job, but one on campus . . . where everyone could see us. They saw us raking leaves, washing windows, typing letters, fixing objects, and slaving in The Pit. But as they jeered and laughed, they forgot one important thing ... we were earning money. Yes, the green stuff was rolling in. We knew our hard work was paying off. Soon we began to laugh as we had the money for dates, concert tickets, and real food. Soon they asked us about our jobs and our money. Yes, the power of the dollar was evident then. But more than the power of the dollar was learned. We learned responsibility, we learned to work hard. Our time became precious because we spent so much of it working. Time-budgeting was very important. But we learned to work hard — we had to! So, world, need a hard worker? Someone to depend on? Look no further. We are here as members of the Bryan work force — if you only knew we are here. 39 Heidi Niehoff Vicki Perna Scott Pinson Pam Prater Vince Pyle Ruth Rinehart Elizabeth Riviera Patrick Rudd Tom Shanley Suzanne Sheppard 40 Peggy Shoe Wayne Simon -I £n ' -► Paul Smelser Anna Smith Debbie Smith Dennis Spier Dawn Stacy Sylvia Suganandam i!

Whether at the Bluffs or at V V Pocket Wilderness, the class worship services were a time of drawing closer to God and to our classmates. As we opened our hearts to God, we opened ourselves to our peers. God spoke to us through the speakers, through His Word, and most importantly through each other. By sharing our weaknesses and strengths, our victories and trials, we found that we all had something in common. The Lord truly worked in our lives. Together we grew, we taught, and we learned. The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.

The officei provided opportunities for spiritual growth, for developing and usin talents and leadership abilities, for service, for encouragement, f( class unity, and for generating excitement. The sophomore class members are known for the outstanding job the did in last year ' s freshman talent show. To celebrate this year, thei was a sophomore talent anniversary party. In order for the sophomores to reach their goals, they had the Om Another Committee, which was divided into a weekly prayer group, project-oriented encouragement group, and a weekly Bible study. The project-oriented encouragement group was composed of soph mores who were responsible for sending out cards of encouragemei weekly to people in the class.

Banquets are one activity for which Bryan College is known. To start the year there was the All-College Banquet presented by the Student Union. The freshmen were escorted by up- perclassmen. Topping off the evening there was a slide presentation of faculty and their families which let the students see what faculty are like outside the classroom. Homecoming is a big event at Bryan, and one of the highlights is the Homecoming Banquet. The theme of this year ' s banquet was Bryan through the Ages . Jimmy Davis portrayed a grandfather who discussed with his grandchildren how things were not as good as they are now at Bryan. Many changes have taken place over the years, and the future looks bright for Bryan. The Homecoming Banquet was arranged by Student Senate. There were other major banquets. At Thanksgiving, the sophomores planned the festivities. The Christ- mas Banquet was conducted by the seniors. Fresh- men were in charge of the Valentine ' s Day Banquet. Hosts for the Junior-Senior Banquet were the junior class. The Athletic Banquet was supervised by the cheerleaders.

We were all getting stir crazy with the five of us crammed into a Ford Escort for eight hours. And we still had another day to go. But we didn ' t care; it was fall break. Fall break was really an answer to prayer when one considered that we didn ' t used to have fall break until Thanksgiving. This year the break was Oct. 16-25, which fell right at mid-semester time. Most students used the time to go home and visit with their families, but some went to friends ' homes or stayed on campus. But anyway, the time was a time of recuperation from the hectic schedule of college life. It was a cease fire in our little danger zone. Praveen Suganandam Top: Kerrie Heiser gets ready for break.

Scott Grisar , ach year Bryan College freshmen are challenged to outdo freshmen classes before them, and this year ' s fresh- men were no exception. These challenges presented themselves in the forms of The Freshman Talent Show, where freshmen showed their vocal, instrumental, and comical abilities; The Valentine ' s Banquet, a proving ground for cre- ativity and design; and the Fresh- man Chapel, at which the fresh- men spiritually challenged the stu- dent body. Through these activities, as well as class competi- tion, late nights, and worship ser- vices, the freshmen became uni- fied. Though they seemed more laid back than students in previous classes, members of the class of 1991 made their presence known in sports, academics, and music and rose to the challenge of being Bryan College freshmen. § V.P.

There, new and returning students mingled and played the traditional streets and alleys, let- ter game, amoeba race, and other games. This year, class competitions began with a tug-of-war, which the sophomores won, and a human scavenger hunt in which the classes searched for the RAs and hunted bricks for points. The juniors were victori- ous. Following the games was a time of singing. As tradition had it, the fa culty as- sisted in barbecuing the chicken and serv- ing the lunch. After eating, students were free to spend the rest of the day hiking to the falls, swimming, or just hanging around.

This frantic prayer was most likely penned by a college freshman. As a senior in high school, the wonderful word GRADUATION symbolizes freedom . . . until you graduate. Then the truth hits. As the ex-high-school-senior-turned- Joe-College- Freshman begins to read all ten of his syllabi, his concept of freedom is thrown out with his concept of sleep. Neither exists at college (or so he thinks). The work piles on. soccer practice begins, books have to be read by Friday — where is the fun of college? Perhaps this is why there is such a high rate of freshman burnout in the colleges of America. What can be done to prevent this? Looking back on the year, I recall many solutions to this tragic problem. Though most of the freshmen spent many hours studying, college was not all hard work! Going home for a visit was a very popular pastime for the Class of 1991. Other freshman fol- lies included trampoline hopping (in the parking lot of the Richland Plaza), stuffing their faces at Sonic, toilet-papering and toothpasting the R.A., and at- tempting to hike from Buzzard ' s Point in the dark. In fact, I ' m sure you could ask any members of the Class of 1991, and they could have you laughing for hours at their excellent antics. So, collegiate world, having a problem with fresh- man burnout? The solution is simple — you can Find it here at Bryan — oh. yeah, you don ' t think we are here. Well, I guess the answer will never be known. But if you ever see ten members of the Bryan Col- lege Class of 1991 running around at 12:30 A.M. in the punk array, you will have some insight to how our freshmen survived.

The Board of Trustees shall be composed of born-again Christian men and women with a sound Christian testimony. W.J. B.C. Bylaws, Article 1, Section 1. What an encouragement to know what standards our trustees must live up to. These men and women are the foundational decision-makers of Bryan College. They exercise their wisdom through their different committees, such as the Student Affairs Commit- tee, the Finance Committee, the Academic Affairs Committee, and the College Ad- vancement Committee. Through their experiences, they know what it ' s like being a college student, and they work hard to provide Bryan College with a balanced perspec- tive on school and fun. During this year they listened to us and tried to meet our needs. Their commitment was appreciated by all, and their long-lasting devotion to Bryan made us all thankful to the Lord.

What a perfect way to describe the faculty and staff of Bryan College. These men and women instructed us not only in the proper direction for our professions but also in many other areas of our lives too. They were our spiritual leaders and guides; they were our counselors; they were our friends. The times we spent playing rac- quetball, going out to dinner or attending prayer meet- ings will never be forgotten. These people took their time to get to know us. They took the time to care. This kind of caring and love isn ' t present in many colleges today. The mutual respect and caring are lost in our world. But you can find them here, in this unknown college ... if you take the time to care. DR. JOHN ANDERSON, Prof. Emer. Prof. of Greek MR. VERN ARCHER, Treasurer MR. STEPHEN BARNETT, Asst.

MILDRED ARNOLD, Admissions Office Manager Spiritual Enrichment Our lives were enriched by them. Our hearts were touched by them. They challenged us, instructed us, and encouraged us. The chapels and conferences of the year were a definite asset to the spiritual growth of the students at Bryan. The chapels were geared to meet our spiritual needs. Such topics as missions, family life, moral issues, commitment, authority, and friendships pro- vided us with a stronger basis for our Christian be- liefs. Worship services gave us the opportunity to approach the throne of God as His children. We were able to catch a glimpse of His glory. Not only did the chapel services encourage our lives, but the conferences offered a new outlook on the needs of the world. We were instructed to seek out God ' s will for our lives. Mr. David Mains, the Staley Lecture Series speaker, will always be re- membered for his teaching about the buzz of our conscience. Through this teaching and other confer- ence teachings, we were invigorated with a new fer- vor to live our Christian lives. As we look back on the year, we see the progress made in our own spiritual walks. God spoke through chapel and conference speakers and dealt with our weaknesses. As we grew, we learned. And as we learned, we obeyed. DR. NANNETTE BAGSTAD, Asst. Prof, of Education MR. JAMES BARTH, V.P. for Administration MISS RONDA BECKER, Asst. Prof. Assoc. Dean of Students i J MR.

Led by captains Ann Efird and Mary Lokers, the ladies turned around their sub .500 record of last year to a winning record of 20-17 in 1987. The team consisted of a new head coach, eight new freshmen, and only four upperclassmen. What they lacked in experience, they made up for in determination. Some of the highlights of the 1987 season were winning the Maryville Volleyball Tournament, defeating a strong Central Wesleyan team twice, and being seeded third in the NCCAA District Tournament held at Cov- enant College. The Lions will be losing only one person (senior Ann Efird) this year and will have a strong foundation to build upon. Some of the post-season honors went to the Ann Efird, NCCAA Honor- able Mention All-American, and to Carolyn Arnemann, Ann Efird and Mary Lokers, who were nominated to the Academic All-American team. The 1987 Bryan Lions Volleyball Team consisted of: senior Ann Efird, juniors Mary Lokers and Carolyn Arnemann, sophomore LaDonna Robin- son, and freshmen Denise Blue, Kary Burby, Mickie Deavers, Susan Efird, Stacey Fetterolf, Chris Kaatz, Jennifer Pauley, and Cindy Wendt. n s Go ahead, make my day. enior Ann Efird will be missed greatly by the Bryan Volleyball Team next year.

We all started out with a determination and a desire to bet- ter our running ability, and each one of us was able to accomplish what we had hoped for. Of course, the season was not all full of successes; in fact, there were many times when all felt that we had failed miserably. However, what was neat about those times was that there was always another teammate there to encourage us and open our eyes to the fact that we had not really failed in God ' s sight or even in our own eyes. These hard times made all of us stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually. The 1987 running season was a very spe- cial one, with lots of hard times, yet full of fun and crazy times shared with the whole team. We all learned much and will always look back on thLs year with big smiles.

Put yourself in their shoes. Ten guys expect- ed to win the entire 1987-88 basketball season, ten guys with victorious dreams, yet ten guys who had never played as a team before. How would they work to- gether . . . could they work together? There was one man who knew they could do it. But then came the final— the game. Each game was approached with such fervor to do their best that nothing less was accepted. Of course, not every game was a victory, but they knew they could pull it through . . . and they did. We can all remember nothing less than the best in the team of 1987-88. The hope, the fear, the excitement — it all served to provide the fire with which our Lions sparked and exploded.

Y tudent Senate ' s purpose was to engender the bond of Chris- tian love and to build unity at Bryan College. The students h J elected senators from their classes and organizations to represent them, and they, in turn, represented the administration to the student body. Senate held weekly meetings to discuss pro- jects, problems, and possible solutions that affected life here on the hill. The 1987-1988 Student Senate began the term with a differ- ent start. Gretchen Mann, the first woman Senate president, began her term with an excited, crazy, and conscientious group of Sena- tors. This year ' s Senate worked hard on representing the students ' opinions and desires to the administration and on improving such activities as Freshmen Orientation, Homecoming, Days of Prayer, and chapels. 84 Above: Senate officers: Ken Cleaver — Vice President; Gretchen Mann — President; Anna Smith — Secretary; Gerry Hurley — Business Manager.

Betty Ann Brynoff (Advisor). Vol. X r hough Bryan had a student newspaper called The Hilltopper as early as 1960. its publication was erratic at times. This year marked the completion of the first decade of regular publication for the Tri- angle. Through improvements in equipment over the past years, this year ' s staff was able to do nearly all of the production work on cam- pus, in the Triangle room at Rudd auditorium. With weekly beats, production jobs, and re- porting assignments, each staff member played a vital part in producing the paper, which was delivered to the student body each Wednesday. Tuesday night deadlines were the highlight of each week for the editors, who spent many Wednesday mornings in layout, piecing together the final product. This year ' s advisor, (and the advisor from the Triangle ' s inception), was Ms. Betty Ann Brynoff. The editorial staff consisted of Wal- ter Jahncke, John Boggs. and Melissa Neu- bert. 86 ro everyone who took part in P.C.I, in any way this year — a hearty thanks! Wasn ' t it great to see God work, to watch Him bring the glory back to Him- self? The Big Pals ' commit- ment, the BEM teachers ' dedi- cation, the excitement of the new SMPers, the faithful work of those in Tutoring and Nurs- ing Home outreaches, the changes in Life Ministry, the large staff of Gimpers, and the work of World Outreach are all reasons we joyfully give thanks to God. It ' s thrilling to know that God will water all those seeds that were planted, and we will recognize that we have been used by God as His vessels. A special thanks to Mrs. Shar- on Richardson, who directed P.C.I, so capably. Dan Snyder PCI Presidents Left: Dan Snyder (Executive President). Immediately above: Raul Cruz (President of Pals).

' s — Kendra Thompson, Lea Johnson; Pres. — Tim Little One hundred and seven students joined together this year to continue a ministry that began in 1930. Each week they had the priviledge of teaching 2500 Rhea County children aged 5-15. The Bryan students pre- pared a detailed Bible lesson in preparation for present- ing God ' s Word to young children filled with eagerness and enthusiasm. On Thursday the Administration Building halls were busy with students carrying film strip projectors, flan- nelgraph boards, Bibles, visualized songs, puppets, and other teaching aids as teachers scurried to find rides to their BEM classes. Just coordinating the transporta- tion (19 vehicles all susceptible to mechanical prob- lems) took a lot of time and effort. Bible Education Ministry (BEM) began this year with a dream of obtaining 600 Bibles to use in teaching the older children. It seemed like an impossible dream, but soon after students returned to campus in the fall, a delivery was made to the PCI office of 25 cases of bright red Bibles. Thank you for volunteering. You recognized the eternal value of teaching God ' s Word to children. Thank you for being faithful every Thursday in spite of the difficulties. Thank you for consistent prayer, the major reason for success of this ministry.

But what goes on behind the scenes is much more than playing with cute kids. Bryan College has forty-one students involved in Pals. Through monthly activities, such as parties and picnics, Bryan students get the opportunity to minister one-on-one with needy children. It ' s a meaningful exper- ience for both the student and his pal. So to all of the students involved in Pals — a hearty thanks for being willing to serve a child druing your stay at Bryan.

Rona ear LIFE Staff, One of the good things about serv- ing with a ministry like LIFE is that it tends to make us a close-knit group of brothers and sisters. We pray that the year has been good for you as it has us as we all grew closer together through Christ. We pray that by the time you read this, our number one goal of having the five witnesses for Christ at Rhea County High School will be a reality. Even as this is written, we can see that the Lord has laid a foundation in more than five students ' lives to complete this goal. We know that Christ has used our time and influence through weekly get-togethers, special outings, and one-on-one friendships to change their lives. Thanks for all of your hard work, and re- member to take the things God has given us and commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also (II Timothy 2:2) and to take heed to the ministry which you have received to fulfill it (Colossians 4:17).

Many thanks to you for your: long hours of practice, aching arms, numb fingers, patience in hearing the same songs over and over again, calloused knees from hours of constant kneeling, hands that held up the stage, and arms that often supported your fellow Gimpers. Many thanks from the children: who listened in awe to the puppets you faithfully worked, who sang along with the songs you patiently practiced, who attacked Ralph as well as Priscilla, who all wanted a turn at shaking Ralph ' s or Clyde ' s hand, and who were richly blessed by your perseverance.

NursingHome Ministry P uppets, kittens, Christmas cards and guitars — these were a special part of the nursing home ministry this year. Spending time with the elderly is not always easy, but it is always rewarding. Residents of Laurelbrook Nursing Home laughed and sang along with the puppets during a Gimper Christmas performance. One woman in Rhea County Nursing Home was unable to buy any Christmas cards. But thanks to the Bryan stu- dents who visited her, her friend in South Carolina received Christmas greetings. Kit- tens played on the laps of Laurelbrook resi- dents as they sang their favorite hymns. A few hours out of our busy schedules brightened the lives of those confined to a nursing home. It was a simple way to serve. Tutoring Ministry First row: Jackie Myers, Leisa Westgate. Second row: Ruth Rinehart (President) Melodee Wolcott, and Paulette Phillip.

From spelling to math to so- cial studies — tutors this year did it all! Tutoring is one of the smalle r PCI ministries, yet it is a unique and effective way to serve the community of Dayton. This year ' s faithful and dedicated tutors not only helped students academically, but became their friends as well. Tutors worked with 2nd — 4th graders at Graysville Elementary, a program which just started this year. Others tutored 7th and 8th graders at Dayton City School. Still others worked with high school students who were referrals from the county juvenile court. The tutoring ministry this year iHH ne ' d many challenges but also provided great rewards. Our goal was to show Christ ' s love through our example. Tutors (1st Semester) were: Leisa Westgate, Heidi Hallows, Mandy Amis, Melodee Wolcott, Chris Steed, Jackie Myers, Dan Wilson, Paulette Phillip, and Ruth Rinehart (pres.). 93 Symphonic Wind Ensemble Hi ffiJRl Front to back, Paula Kay Ricketts, Jennifer Reynolds, Doug Padgett, Matt Ruark, Leanne Malloy, Dr. Mel Wilhoit, (director) , Kathy Dean, Rona Halcomb, Trevor Boot, Ryan Wis- niewski, Gerry Howard, Tim Evans, David Grant, Jacki Myers, Nathan Padget, Kyle Howard, Lori DeBoer, Tammy Rake, Kim Lee, Jodi DeBoer, Jeff Ferrell, Trish Kiney, Jan Rake. The Symphonic Wind Ensem- ble was composed of mem- bers representing many areas of study who were interested in minis- tering through music by providing special music for chapel programs and Day of Prayer services. In addi- tion to on-campus performances, the ensemble also took an annual mini- tour, performing in churches in the surrounding area. In the latter half of the year, it experimented with something new — breaking into small ensembles to provide music for chapels on a more regular and frequent basis. Besides playing sacred music, the ensemble played a variety of secular music, and many mem- bers performed in the spring production of Oklahoma! By mixing with the music curriculum activities such as hiking outings, cookouts, and this year ' s trip to see Rock City, the ensemble provided social opportunities as well as opportunities to develop musical talents and minister to others. 94 Officers: Vice Pres. — Tim Evans, Sec. Treas.— Trish Kiney, Pres. — Jeff Fer- rell a o Chorale Lord, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. This prayer by St. Francis of Assisi was the prayer of the chorale this year. Our main goal was not to perform so that people would praise us, but it was to minister to others and help them focus on God. For all the things we were able to accom- plish this year we give God the glory because He is the One who gave each of us the ability to sing. We began with a Thanksgiving performance of Vivaldi ' s Glo- ria, followed almost immediately by the Christmas concert with the Southern College Orchestra, Director Glenn Draper ' s UTC singers and the Chattanooga First Presbyterian Church Choir. This concert contained parts of Handel ' s Messiah, some tradi- tional carols, and selections of twentieth-century music. Second semester was occupied first with preparation for our spring break tour to Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

W yaving an opportunity to reflect on r — w this year ' s Student Union is a joyous JL -A. privilege for me. The best word to describe Union would be creativity. Our haunted house and Halloween party at the Fary Farm, along with our Christmas party in the Den, proved to be the two most exciting Union events I can remember. We also hosted nine acts in concert: Phil Keaggy, Jeff Harrel- son, Laura Compton, Glad, Logos, Chris Christian, Power Alley, Scott Rolley, and Mi- chael Card. We showed four exciting movies in Rudd Auditorium, went to the Alpine Wa- ter Slide, had a fabulous trip to Six Flags, and went ice skating in Knoxville. The interclass council hosted three big field days with plenty of fun for all. It was an action-packed year. Hats off for all their hard work to Melodee, Matthew, Dave and Kathy, Becky and Kris, John, Tim, Terry, Jennifer, Yolanda, White- ley, Denise, Erskine, Wesley, Ann, Stuart, Ra- chel, and, last but not least, Chrissy.

The spring play, the first full-scale production of a musical at Bry- an, was Oklahoma! I send my deepest gratitude to all those involved in these performances, to the actors and actresses who worked so hard memorizing lines and learning blocking (and sometimes fast-blocking), to the stage, costume, and make-up crews for making everything and every- one look good, and to our student and faculty directors for organizing, unifying and keeping sane the cast members. The whole college owes you for an entertain- ing and rewarding time. I hope to see you all just as HIP next year. Ingrid Krein ±±±i Commoner W JT 7 illiam Jennings Bryan was § § known as The Great Common- V V er because he championed the cause of the common man. The Bryan Col- lege yearbook is called the Commoner be- cause it represents the interests of the peo- ple who make up the Bryan College family. Desiring to glorify Jesus Christ and be a help to others by producing a quality year- book, the staff aimed to publish a book that would help prevent the college from being The best-kept secret. To fulfill this purpose staff members planned and orga- nized their format, shot and developed pic- tures, wrote and rewrote copy, sketched and re-drew layouts, sold and designed ads, typed and rechecked material, and in gen- eral put yearbook necessities ahead of per- sonal desires. Their work was worked by a spiritual commitment of themselves and their book to the Lord — accepting His proclamation and promise in Jeremiah 15:19 (NASB): If you extract the precious from the worthless, you will become My spokesman.

I want to give a special thanks to Damon Kelly, who gave a lot of his time and talent; to Christy Pierce, who put in many hours on the copy even when she had a heavy load; to my roomie, Martha Wilbanks, for encouraging me ev- ery step of the way. And I cannot even begin to find the right words to express my thanks to Dr. Cornelius, our fearless leader, who had taught me many things — patience, learning not to be so critical, thinking of others, and trying to stay organized. To him I owe much gratitude and appreciation. Thank you all for a fantastic year. It was the best — kept secret! Working hard together, having fun, laughing hyster- ically as we almost reached insanity. These are some of the things I will remember and cherish for always.

Because of the energetic efforts of the Freshman A. class, the Valentine ' s Banquet was a smashing success. As the guests left the Ad. Building main lobby, they entered the illusory world of a theatre lobby and walked down a stairwell decorated with classic movie posters of famous love stories. The banquet itself was presided over by King and Queen Valentine: Dan Snyder and Susan Heasley. With faculty and staff as waiters and waitresses, the meal was a rare sitdown-service one. At the end, the Argos were given a standing ovation since it was their last PFM banquet for the college. LOVE STORY -■+ %Jt O SMP It calls for persons with mettle.

Well, that ' s exactly what fifty-four Bryan students did during spring break. The Chorale took a charter bus and one van through Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Each night we sang at a church. After the concert, the singers would go home with members of the congregation, who shared generously of their time, friendship, and FOOD. We did have one day off. It included a visit to the Houston Space Center, a hot meal at a Mexican Restau- rant, and dessert at the famous Hard Rock Cafe.

Never had Bryan College done a musical on such a grand scale. In addition to the usual problems of frustrating rehearsals, searching for costumes and props, and building the set, there were problems of high royal- ties, people with two left feet, and monomania. But there was a secret to overcoming these obstacles: God was faithful and blessed us with a talented cast of people who were willing to persevere and never say of themselves or the production: Poor Jud is dead.

The birds were singing, and there was definitely spring in the air. Then progressively the clouds gathered, and the temperature dropped. Rain threatened throughout the day but did not begin to fall until the guests were on their way to the beautiful Radisson Read House in Chattanooga. The gigantic Silver Ballroom was decorated in shades of pink, silver, and white with huge chandeliers. The main course, roasted Rock Cornish Game Hen stuffed with wild rice, was deli- cious. We were serenaded by a string quartet from the Chattanooga Symphony playing songs like Pachelbel ' s Canon and other favorites. The second event was to be a movie at the Memo- rial Auditorium, but unfortunately the movie never arrived. The guests did not seem to mind the extra time created when the movie did not show up, for they socialized and took their own pictures around the beautiful hotel. Quickly we moved on to the third event, a slide show of the Senior class from babies through their four years of college and marriage in some cases. Chattanooga Christian School was the location, and the guests were given the opportunity to change into more casual clothes. The slide show was both hu- morous and sad as the pictures brought back memo- ries and thoughts of the upcoming graduation. ■' A f . Athletic ?

It offered a heated pool, whirlpool, sauna, handball, volleyball, basketball, weights, treadmills, rowing machines, bicycles, televisions, and an aero- bics class that began at 3:00 a.m. Next it was out into the cold night air as we pounced upon Sir Gooney Golf, which offered min- iature golfing, a batting cage, and a grand prix race- track. Breakfast was at 5:30 a.m. on the scenic Ten- nessee River in Chester Frost Park. The weather was unseasonably cold, for the temperature had dropped below freezing. Still some braved the cold to watch the sun rise over the hills and the river. Comments were extremely favorable and positive about the entire evening.

Students had to resort to reading intra- mural mail to find out if they or their friends had received any awards. One good thing that the emergency arrangement did was to provide for the publication of a helpful list of prize recipients so that the world ' s top secret Honors Day could be disclosed to the Public.

Beginning with a Senior Vesper Service whose spiritual beauty, candor, and power moved many to tears, Commencement weekend activi- ties drew visitors to campus from all over the world. The Lord crowned the occasion with mild, sunny weather which brightened the colors of the regalia in the opening outdoor procession and warmed the crowd after the two-hour service, when they gathered on the front lawn of Rudd Chapel for a final go-round of hugs and handshakes. The service itself was a summary of f our years of academic and artistic endeavors as Brett Roes and Kay Bruner represented the seniors in song and speech, as senior awards were presented which spanned all as- pects of the academic and spiritual programs, as Presi- dent Hanna conferred the degrees, as seniors filed on stage to say their graduation Scripture or word of thanks and love, and as the alma mater was sung for the last time by this group of students, who had come to Bryan in spite of its existence being the best-kept se- cret, and who were going forth with Kay Bruner ' s chal- lenge ringing in their ears to pursue the dream of telling the world about the secret of new life in Jesus Christ.

T T aving helped make Bryan College the best-kept secret, in 1988 m 1 the mass media finally began to unveil the institution to their - ■- ■readers and viewers. Significant references to the college, William Jennings Bryan, and the Scopes Trial appeared in Chattanooga Life Leisure Magazine, The Fundamentalist Journal, Newsday, and Tennessee Illustrated as well as on radio programs by Norman Giesler and Bob Cosby. Dr. D. James Kennedy came to Dayton and filmed a one- hour TV special: The Case for Creation. A few weeks later, AT T sponsored a new version of Inherit the Wind on national television, with Kirk Douglas playing the role of the Bryan figure. As a result of these TV specials and the consequent news coverage by television stations and newspapers, more people contacted the college for Scopes Trial information in just six weeks than do so in an average year. In July, play producer and director Frank Chapin presented a new dramatization of the Trial. Supplement 135 Campus Life ■Some secrets are meant to be kept others aren ' t.
