President frA.Ak. JE - l ... . ji 4mE9k- -.31 ■fr College education is more than preparation for life. It is a part of life itself. 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

Attractions It was a beautiful afternoon or a crisp, cold night, and you took advantage of the opportunity and got away for a while. 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
