DEDICATION Took up here! And students have been doing just that since 1947. LOOKING AT THE BLACKBOARD ... and seeing there his chartwork spread across the board bringing truth to life. The simple illustrations have been cemented in our minds to remind us of the profound truths we have studied in God ' s Word. LOOKING IN THE SCRIPTURES ... and discovering there the truth of God with a depth and comprehensiveness we never thought possible. We have seen not only the relevancy of every part of Scripture, but the wonder of God ' s great plan as it progresses through the whole Bible. LOOKING FOR HIS COUNSEL . . . and finding there his availability, wisdom, acceptance, and understanding combined with a solid biblical foundation. His wise counsel has helped us understand our past and shape our future in light of God ' s directives and provisions for Christian living, for family life, for ministry. LOOKING ON THE TEACHER ... and observing there a man of God whose very life illustrates the reality of his teaching. We have marvelled at his humble personal- ity transformed in the classroom into dynamic, Spirit-filled proclamation. LOOKING TO JEHOVAH . . . and experiencing there the joy and victory found in the personal knowledge of God. We have been led by our teacher to be constantly amazed and drawn to the God who works in a mysterious way his wonders to perform. With gratitude to God, we dedicate the 1985 Finial in honor of one who has constantly reminded us to . . . Look up here! James M. Buck Hatch

Dear Class of ' 85, The Lord gave the Word through your teachers and fellow students. And directly, from His Word by the Holy Spirit ' s illumination. When we give you that diploma, it means we think you have received enough of God ' s Word to be an effective proclaimer. That is quite a vote of confidence! Now, Great is the company of those who proclaim it. I hope the company will be one hundred percent of the Class of ' 85. That would, indeed, be great. We will do more than hope, however. We will pray, and we will stand ready to help you succeed - personally and in ministry. So keep in touch, and stand with us in the great task of increasing the company of those who faithfully proclaim the Word. With gratitude and hope, Robertson McQuilkin President
