Senk ' cnMs HUBERT ADDLETON began his freshman year actively participating in the school ' s activities as vice-president of his class and a chorus member. This year he served as vice-president for the Senior class; in addition, he was an active member of F.M.F. (1-4), India prayer group leader (4), member of Bar-bell Club (3-4), secre- taiy-treasurer (4). His life work - missions. From her activities as Finial Art Editor (3) and Art Club member (4), one would think MARLYS ANDERSON is interested in art. Her interest is happily supple- mented by a growing artistic talent which has proved useful in Christian service. Marlys has also been an active member of F.M.F. (1-4), president of the women ' s dorm (3-4), and a Lit member (1-4). She plans to go to the mission field with her future husband. Tommy Watson. Looking forward to her life work, SALLY ARNER anticipates being an efficient housewife. We predict success, if there is any carry-over of her talent as a soloist and musician. Sally has been an active member of chorus (1-4), president (3), Lit member (1-2), active member of F.M.F. (4), Student Council social chairman (2), program chairman(4). NAOMI BOLLMAN is best known by her winsome smile. Always cheerful, she ' ll prove a welcome student when she enrolls for nurses ' training next fall in preparation for the mission field. Naomi has been an active member of F.M.F. since her arrival at C.B.C. year before last. Ability and thoroughness as vice-president of F.M.F. in his Junior year demonstrated beforehand JAMES CAIL ' S capabilities as a leader. He completed his Senior year leaving behind a year of successful activ- ity as president of the Student Body. No doubt his solid capabilities will carry over into his future missionary work. May your spiritual experience become richer as you see more and more fully God ' s great secret, Christ Himself! (Class verse) Loud laughter and a jovial crowd usually surround BETTY ALLISON, who hails from West Virginia. Betty ' s friendliness will probably come in handy in her work on the mission field as a nurse. She has been an active member of F.M.F. (3-4), and a member of Chorus (4). ELEANOR ANDREWS plans to join her fiance, Lloyd Powlison, in missionary work at Bolivia, South America, upon completion of her Senior year. Eleanor kept busy extracurricularly as a member of Chorus (1-4), Lit member (1-4), active member of F.M.F. (3—4), Photography Editor of the Finial (3), and secretary of the Stiident Council (4). PIERCE BARNES, really interested in a few other things besides Lee, anticipates radio work on the mission field. Pierce was a member of the Chorus (1-2), active member of F.M.F. (1-4), member of Cam- era Club (1), and Bar-bell Club member (1-2). NANCY BROWN gained herself the cov- eted and rarely-conferred title of a Greek scholar while at C.B.C. She has also kept busy as a chorus member (1 — 2), L OTber (1-4), Sgt-at-arms (4), active mber of F.M.F. (3—4), and Subscription .nager of the Finial (3). Her plans are rected toward the mission field. Ma dire KATHERINE CALLAWAY, although a true Southern girl, isn ' t lazy by any means. Besides doing outside work while attend- ing C.B.C, she devoted much of her talent as a pianist in Christian service work, and assumed the responsibility of Senior Class treasurer this year. She was an active member of F.M.F. (1-4), and hopes to soon serve the Lord on the mission field.

SENIOR YEAR SIGNIFICANT TO CLASS OF ' 51 Seniors eagerly anticipate His Service Success in eluding the Juniors by escaping to Paris Mountain State Park for their class dav activities and victory in teaming up with the Sophs and Grads to trounce the Juniors and Freshmen in the annual Thanksgiving Day Grits Bowl Classic were but minor indications of the significance which their final year as- sumed for the class of ' 51. This was not merely the winding up of their academic ex- perience at Columbia Bible College, but, much more important, the integration of experiences and concepts gathered during four years of concentrated study towards utilization in full- time Christian service. In reality the Senior year proved to be one of anticipation for future service rather than one of completion of study and hesitation in leaving a beloved alma mater. A new serious- ness in looking to the Lord for personal prep- aration beyond the requirements of the institu- tion shaped these graduating students into the men and women that God requires for spiritual leadership. Seniors were welcomed home from their Sneak by the dejected (?) Juniors. MISS KATHRYN WARREN Class Advisor Each Senior was thrilled as he saw class- mates being accepted by some mission board or receiving definite guidance into some other form of Christian work. However, the assur- ance of the Lord ' s guidance by those who had not yet made definite plans for the coming year was perhaps even more wonderful to observe. Thus many learned the truth of Psalm 37:5: Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. The Senior year really began in the summer with the monthly publication of the Senior Link. This class newspaper was the channel by which the class learned of the summer ac- tivities of its members and maintained the prayer fellowship that had been established in previous years. Student pastorates and other opportunities for leadership in Christian service were an effective means of preparation. Summary courses such as systematic theology and prog- ress of doctrine further stimulated an anticipa- tion of future usefulness. Perhaps the greatest value of the Bible College training was the lesson in utter de- pendence upon God that had been learned. This was forcefully manifested by the many students who came to Bible College without any prospect of support, yet saw their needs faithfully met by the Lord month after month. The realization of the Thanksgiving goal for the new dormitory in their final year and the practice of living by faith exemplified by the faculty and staff further illustrated the princi- ple which the Seniors learned — the only resource of the Christian life is Jesus Christ. Chapel messages, practice teaching, class socials, and intramural sports were extra- curricular activities in which the class partici- pated while awaiting the conferring of their degrees and their acceptance into the alumni association as its newest members. The leaders of the class of 1951 during its Senior year were president. Bill Russ; vice- president, Hubert Addleton; secretary, Pauline Drum; treasurer, Kate Callaway; and class advisor, Miss Kathryn Warren. 15

WILLIAM GATHER is an all- round practical fellow who could probably build a house with a ham- mer and a pocket-knife on a desert island. Maybe he ' ll do that, too, if his hopes about the mission field are realized. Bill has been an associate member of FMF during his four years here. Transferring from Wheaton, ERNIE CHUN was freshman representative in his first semester here. In the same year he made the basketball team, joined the Forensic Society, and began a two-year membership in chorus. He led an FMF prayer group (3), and became Student As- sociation treasurer in his senior year. Active in FMF since his first year, he plans missionary work in Indonesia. THOMAS DANGERFIELD That in all things He might have the preeminence is the verse that best expresses Tom ' s longing as he plans and prepares for a future teacher-pastor position in the place of the Lord ' s leading. While Receiving training here, Tom has maintained the happy responsibil- ities of a husband and father. Ex-marine ROY DAVIS has been observed this year to apply the principles he learned in Child Psy- chology to upbringing of his two sons. After graduating, Roy plans to go into full-time Christian service, further putting into practice what he has learned here at CBC. MARTHA DUFF, quiet to all ap- pearances, is attributed by her friends with a genuine sense of humor. This characteristic will come in handy as she teaches some- where on the mission field upon completion of her Bible CoUegr training. Martha has been an active member of FMF (3-4), and a CeBe- Cean reporter (2-3). MABEL CHERRY transferred to CB C her second year, and quietly but surely has completed her Bible col- lege course. She was a Lit member her junior year, and future plans are directed toward the mission field. SYLVIA COOK may be commended for completing her course in three years and getting a husband along with it. As a freshman, she was a member of chorus and Lit. Active, in FMF (1-4), she was a prayer group leader (2). Her extra-cur- ricular activities this year were tied up in housework. O ' Neal and she are looking forward to pioneer mis- sionary work. ARCHIE DAVIS leaves with the prayer: That I may know Him . . which seems to express the desire of his whole class this year. Arc- hie ' s bright sense of humor and understanding of human nature will be useful as he enters the pastorate. He ' s been a member of the Barbell Club for the past two years. PAULINE DRUM returned as a junior to CBC last year after a break in her training due to illness. In her Senior year, she was secret- ary of her class, and associate mem- ber of FMF(4). She is interested in working with children here at home after she graduates. MARILYN ESTES, declaring she was a mighty green freshman, fitted right in extra-curricularly as a Lit member (1-4), and an active FMF member (2-4). Marilyn plans to go to the mission field as a teacher. •5
