Amen. vs I KeilNtv DBdpeonon 1 dedicate myself , . . uul only to strive For the goals 1 have set But to meet them and to set even more . . . Not only to hold To the dreams 1 have had But to dream greater dreams than before „ . . Not only to enjoy This land and its wealth But to make it a better place to live . . And not only to take What I can from this life But to love and to generously give. T Who. then, is free? The wise who can command his passions, who fears nor want, nor death, nor chains, firmly resisting his appetites and despising the honors of the world, who relies wholly on himself, whose angular points of character have all been rounded off and polished. Horace JANINE PENNINGTON QUEEN '’The Word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord: Arise, go down to the potter's house, and then; 1 will help you to understand My words. So I went down to the poner's house. and look, he was doing a piece of work on the wheel. The vessel he was making of the clay was inlsformed in the hands of the potter. So he remade it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do. Then the word of the LoTd came to met O house of Israel, cannot 1 do with you as this potter did? Says the. Lord. Take notice. just as the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel. Jeremiah 18:1-6 The Modem Language Bible proposals for today TODAY Little.

For they had left undone Those things which they ought to have done and they lud done tirose things which they ought not to have done. And there was no help for them. And there were many abiding in their rooms who had kept watch over rlioir books all night, but it naught availed. And some there were who arose peacefully for they had pro paled for themselves the way and made straight the path of knowledge. And these wise (Mies were known to some as the burners of the tnidnighr oil. but by others they we re ca 1 led spotiers . And ilie ntult.ittide arose and ate a hearty breakfast and they canu- to the appointed place and their beam were heavy within them. And they had conte w pass, but some to paas out. And some of ! I loin repented of their riotous living and pcmoaned rheii fate, bill they had not a prayer. .And at the last hour there came among them one known as' the instructor, he of Tile diabolical smile, cud passed papers among them and went upon Ills way. And many and varied were rhe answers that were given for some of his leaching had fallen among the fallows, while still others had fallen among fertile minds and still others had fallen flat. And some thei;; were who wroLc for an hour. t tlifers wrote ior two, but sonic turned away sorrowful. And when they had finished, they gathered up their belongings and went quietly away, each in his Own direction and each one vowing to himself in this manner: “I shall, nor pass this way again. It is a long road that has no turning.

Susan Coombe, Carla FRESHMAN DEDICATORY STATEMENT 1975-76 Theme Verses of Dedication: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meek- ness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Gal. 5:22-26. We, the members of the Freshman Class, with God's help: 1. Shall allow God to use our talents to their fullest, to always be ready to testify and witness for our Lord, and to keep a consistent devotional and prayer life. (Col. 4:2) 2. Shall allow God to work in our lives by giving Him complete control of our attitudes and our tongues. (Col. 4:6) 3. Shall expand and apply our knowledge to the glory of God - being willing to attend classes, obey campus rules, and budget our time wisely. (Eph. 5:15, 16) 4. Shall strive for unity and true Christian friendship on and off campus by encouraging, forgiving, and showing genuine concern and love for others - going the extra mile even when it may not be convenient or pertain to our own interests.

Excluding worry on our part, we will allow God to work within us, trusting Him with our needs and believing in His Word. While living in a lost world, we will, in the example of Christ, aim for the denouncement of sin and denial of self, while carrying the good news of the Gospel to the unsaved. We will strive to continually grow in our devotional lives, remembering the necessity of feeding on God's Word, and the need for an effectual, fervent prayer life, to supplement our commitment to Christ. To put forth our best effort in all of our classes, to develop our intellects to the fullest potential, and to be able to apply our classroom learning to real-life situations. To use our time profitably, to make, sure that our physical appearance does not detract from our personal testimonies, to thank God for His leading and not complain about our God-given cir- cumstances and to become more consistent in our emotional and spiritual lives so that our personal testimonies will become mote stable. In our inter-personal relationships, we will strive for an understanding spirit and a forgiving, uncritical attitude, born out of love for those with whom we come in contact: to have a sincere concern for rhe needs of those around us, and to develop with them a spirit of unity. We will endeavor to realize and fulfill our responsibilities to our school, to the body of Christ and, most of all, to our God.
