O' Sports ] 3 ■ Komet Kickers The soccer ream had a real spiritual depth this season and recorded a lot of personal victories among the team members. Their team season goal was to use Christian athletics to better self and the opposition. The team wanted to show good leader- ship to others during the season and worked toward that end. Kicking the round ball did more than just win games, it made people grow. 1. Sie� e Young approaches the ball for a penally kick. 2. Rich Redmond and Andy Summerfield head for the bali. 3.

Mackey Most Valuable Player: Daryl Bolhuis Most Improved Player: Dan Carr (5-0) Captain: Jim Yeley The tennis team had a good season, but were disappointed with their performance against John Wesley and Fort Wayne. The team felt that it was their year to win the conference, but lost the matches that counted. Coach Mackey thinks that the tennis team has an excellent chance to win it all next fall. And that’s what you call SPIRIT. Cross Country Coach: Paul Joles Captain: Steve Oswald Most Outstanding Runner: Steve Oswald Most Improved Runner: Tim Reed Injuries and illness really plagued the team and kept them from doing their best this year. Coach Joles views the season as fair. Despite this year's problems the team expressed high hopes for next year and decided they needed more depth on the team to be really competitive in their meets. There was good spirit in the cross country team and Coach Joles after working with them all season labeled them as '' a great bunch of guys.'' I Men’s Basketball This year’s Comet basketball team seemed to have some prob lems getting it all together, but Coach Price continued with his good directions and they came up with some majoT victories to give the team a third place finish in the con- ference. The Cornets were fortunate in having some fine outside shoot- ers, some great ball handlers, and super defensive moves. Win or lose, the team played tough, exciting ball. The fans really stayed behind the Comets and jammed the bleachers to cheer on the team. The guys really played as a team and showed enthusiasm and deter- mination throughout die season. }.

The magic motion of the net and the gentle swish of the net as the Safi passed through meant another iwo points and another win. 18 Men's Basketball Wrestling Foi ihe fiisr lime in Baptist history, GRBC had a varsity wrestling team. The team was comprised of mostly freshman and had a tough season for such a new team. The grapplers started their sea- son off slow and the lack of experience seemed to hurt the team at times, but they improved throughout the year. Coach Greg 3ishop summed it up well when he said, “It's been a good year both for the individuals and for building ilic learn for next, year.” 1. Chris Spanning waiis 10 accept his fourth place meda! in the. Wrestling Nationals. 2. A Baptist wrestler tries to pin his mar.. 3. Jeff Davis tries to bring his opponent to the mat. 4.

Track The 1977 track team started out their season with a team of runners seeming to be the best the Baptist has had. Not just excelling in one area, the team spread its strength in all areas of distance, sprints, and field events. Coach McKenney let each individual runner practice on their own, using their own training schedule and procedure. The Oswalds (Steve and Frank) helped out in the distance events; Howie Wideman helped in the middle distances; Steve Sum- merfield helped in the high jump; and Carl Kresge cleaned up in the pole vault. It was a successful year for the team and their experience will make next year even more successful. Track 71 Soccer FRONT ROW.

A 28 Womens Basketball J The Women's Basketball team had its best season yet with a record of eleven wins and two losses and two N.C.C.A.C. championships. Student support was the best ever. The team was well balanced, both defensively and offensively. Coach Kellaris summed up the team's success in this: t think it was the acknowledgement that their abilities came from God. They realized they were playing for Him and they couldn't do it by them- selves.” Wrestling FRONT ROW: Jim Ray. ROW TWO: Jeff Davis. Brian Caddie, Gref, Bishop - Coach, Tim Gunderson, Chris Spending.

Cheerleaders This year's cheerleading squad reflected previous cheer- leading experience. Chosen in the fall on the basis of I cheering ability, enthusiasm, spirit, smile, and pep, the The squad felt that there were rewards for being a cheer- leader. The most important reward they had was getting to know people. Besides meeting students from other schools, their experiences as cheerleaders helped them to get to know more students on Baptist campus because more kids happen to know them. Throughout the year the squad developed a bond, both spiritually and as friends. Before each game and practice session, the cheerleaders met foi prayer and devotions led by one of the squad members.

Although the team did not have any outstanding hitters, their teamwork and equal play made the season important for the whole team. On their trip to Florida, the guys didn't just soak up sun, but they carried with them their Christian testimony, leading the umpire traveling with them to the Lord.

Two Types of Ministries were found 10 be effective in area rest homes. One aspect of the ministry consisted of individual students calling on people within the homes on weekly basis. Usually a specific night of the week was designated and a one-to-one emphasis was stressed. The other aspect of the ministry involved monthly Sunday afternoon devotional services during which special music and a short sermon were used to minis- ter to a group gathering. Throughout the year several decisions have been made by older people to accept the Lord as rheir Savior. Leaders involved in the ministry include: Caryn Martin, Andy Smith, Lloyd Bartley, and Mary and Denny Lardie. f 70 Rest Home Ministry Ken Kopchick, Karen Williams, Martin Perehinchuk. Chris Spending.

They don't go to soak up the sun, but to share Jesus Christ with others on the beach. This year's trip was organized and coordinated by Tom Pearce. Jim and Patn Lorence, Steve and Paui Summerfield, and Mr. and Mrs. Bopp (advisors) helped Tom take care of the fine details. Preparation (or Beach Evangelism begins ten weeks before the time of departure, with planning, rehearsing and praying, so that when we get to Florida, v e are ready to work. This year's group had 33 members and traveled in a caravan of five vehicles. The total cost was $1G5 each, including food, gas, and motel. Every morning the group rose early, ate breakfast, had devotions, and headed for Ft. Lauderdale. All day we stayed on the beach and talked to people. As a result of our time and sharing, there were fifteen decisions made for the Lord. The benefits of beach were being able to share our belief in Jesus Christ with others, and learning about the different cults and possible ways to handle them with scripture. Everyone came back with experience in wit- nessing and confidence in letting the Lord use them. 78 Beach Evangelism 1 I 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. S. 7.

Too many times we look at these classes as neces- sary evils, like a trip to the dentist once a year. Professors in these classes feel a lot dif- ferent, for the see their disciplines as impor- tant and interesting. Try going to one of these classes and enjoy it. Oh, 1 know, you already know how to talk, you know when Columbus discovered America and when the United States of America began, so what if your sentences don't have nouns and verbs - your mom appre- ciates them, why study music, when you already know how to carry a tune on almost all the hymns you sing in church, and who cares who painted what picture??? Wow, there is information here that ought to be learned. Give your best to these classes that you have to take. They are required for a purpose, and who knows, you may learn something. 1.

Believing ihat ihe Bible is to be studied and applied in the daily life of every Christian, the division provides a core of study in each student’s curriculum. Its design is to develop an understanding of the English Bible as well as providing the tools and methods of Bible study. The Bible major (B.R.E.) is for those anticipating a ministry of the Word of God. Its primary aim is to bring the stu- dent to a comprehensive understanding of the books and theology of the Bible as a whole; to a reasonable competency in independent Bible study: and to develop skill in tlie communication and defense of the Gospel. The religion major intends to introduce the student to both Biblical faith as well as religious phenomena in other cultures and thought patterns. It is basically preparatory for further graduate theological study, and the leaching of religion and Bible on an elementary and secondary level. 1.

Sometimes it seems that these classes will be unbearable and that we can't learn a thing, but by the end of the semes- ter things have changed. In order for us to be dis- cerning about people and views that reflect the world’s philosophies, we should study under Christian men, areas where man may ignore the teaching of The scripture. We need to look at these classes as opportunities to widen our horizons, and not see them as burdens we must bear for a semester. We need to learn all we can, while we can, so that we can be prepared for other things yet to come. 1. Norman Poludniak. Assistant Professor of Science 2.

The sciences and education attempt to study man in his social and physical environment. Hence, the emphasis of this division is upon consideration of insights provided by these disciplines. This division offers majors In social science, psy- chology, and sociology. Minors may be taken in biol- ogy, business administration, physical education, psy- chology, secretarial studies, and general science. The basic aim of the major or minor in these areas is to equip the student to understand and predict the environ- ment. These are useful in many vocational settings. Social work, education, the ministry and business rep- resent a sampling of occupations that may be furthered by studying in this division. 1.

If you count the years spent in education and the years of fruitful experience, the value of a seminary education can be realized. The college students have opportunity to sit in some classes taught by seminary professors and they gain from their insight and experience. V 1. Ronald P. Chadwick, Professor of Christian Education.

Behind the scenes is the cooking and mixing of the food. But once it is ready, then Li must be served, and that is done with perfection and in an appe- tizing way. After the food comes the clean-up and we all take our trays to the pit. ” Kitchen 129 Bookstore The Campus Bookstore is the place to go on campus when you want some paper, when the semester begins and the books must be bought, oi when you need a candy bar for that extra energy. 130 Bookstore A 1.

Library The library is a key spot on any campus and our library offers information and the type of atmosphere where one can study. Because the library is open so much, there are many students who work there and can help if you have a question. I. These librarians are Karen Hosteller, Judy Burns. Wanda Casner, Donna Williams, Jan Bosnia, Marsha Armstrong, Judy Rolston, and Bonnie Cuthbert. If you asked Louie Schaeffer what he does iu die Library - he'd say “visit. which is what just about everybody would say. 3.

Student Advisors Because the faculty get so busy with advisees, some juniors and seniors were asked to serve as advisors to freshmen and sopho- mores. These advisors are Kathy Riggle, Deb Veldt, Mary Soak, Faith Maguire, Jim Yeley, Deb- bie Blaga and Scott Christiansen. Campus Mailman Life Guards Tom Nyhuis was one of the favorite people on campus. He served as the campus mailman and when you saw him head- ing for the student center with his bag of mail, you hoped that he had something for you. !n order for the pool to be open for our use we had to have lifeguards on duty at all times. These lifeguards are Jim Feller, Marti Lewis, and Steve Young. ! 32 Special Worker The Night Before Finals 'Twas the night before finals and all through the dorm. Not a student was sleeping which is really the norm. Their shoes were placed with sign-out cards near For they were praying, Lord, get me out of here! ” Meanwhile, the professors were snuggled all warm in their beds While visions of panicking students danced in their heads. Dianne in her kerchief and Terrence in his cap - The Portfleets settled down for their long winter nap. But Mayers still wondered if the tree in the forest Made any noise though Berkley wasn’t there when it fell; To which snoozing Bart replied: All things are possible, bur not necessarily probable. (Now Whitman says poetry need not rhyme, So let’s move ahead and save ourselves time.) The night passed quickly, gloom covered the day Perhaps symbolic in its own little way. The students straggled out of their beds And readied themselves for what lay ahead. Step by step they approached the classroom Where each would face his impending doom. Dismissing daydreams from their minds. Eventually the classroom they did find. As pupils collapsed, each in his chair, The professor opened in a word of prayer: Lord, according as they have studied, he prayed, Bless each one with a deserving grade. The students trembled to consider the thought - It was not a commensurate giade they sought. When what to their blood-shot eyes should appear. But a twelve-page exam, which increased their great fear. With pencil in hand they tackled the test. Hoping and praying they’d do their best. Two hours now past, the tests turned in, Expressions revealed that all hope was dim. Students responded, Quesera, sera Which loosely translates, I'm done - Hurrah! Back to the dorm, the luggage to pack Then homeward bound, with no looking back. They were heard to exclaim as they spun out the lot, At least Christmas is merry, though exams are not. Hark, the Campus Herald angels sing . . .

Surprisingly, the main colors throughout the structure have no significance, but were selected by the decorator for their warmth and cheerfulness. How- ever, the second floor is named the forgiveness unit. The dividers marking the offices, though they give an appearance of stability, are light and easily moved. Inst as these rooms can be adjusted and re-adjusted to fit the needs of the Seminary professors, so can God step in to readjust and transform our sinful lives, if we only ask Him. It was significant to remember that when the Seminary Building was formally dedicated in February, the building was paid fox. Due to gifts and certificates of deposit, this building stands completely paid for. It is a testimony of the sacrifices others are willing to make to help the Seminary grow. It is even more significant that this building was named the Leon J. Wood Seminary Building to remember a professor who gave his best and did all that he could to make a seminary education a useful and growing experience. Dedication Week Address of Dr. Velot (Ed. note. This is the speech given by Dr. Donald Veldt, Dean of the College, at the Seminary dedication.) I am reminded tonight of two great dedications in the history of civilization and the dedicatory addresses that accompanied those occasions. The most recent of those is perhaps the most widely known of the two. That was a dedication of a battlefield cemetery during the civil war. Though he was not the main speaker of the day, the words shared by Abraham Lincoln have rung down through history as among the most beautiful words ever spo- ken. Let me paraphrase and adapt a portion of that address. We have, come to dedicate this building. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a greater sense we cannot dedicate - we cannot consecrate - we cannot hallow this place. Only as God lays His hand upon men and women to dedicate themselves to the learning of the Word of God in this place will it be hallowed. The world will little note nor long remember what is said here tonight but the potential impact of the hundreds of students who will go from this place prepared to preach and teach the Gospel will provide an impact that the world cannot forget. Lincoln went on, It is for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us. And let me use that for a transition to the second dedication out of history for it echoes the theme of David's speech to Israel prior to the building of the great temple at Jerusalem. David had gathered together all the gold, silver, the precious stones to be set into the temple. The people had given from the very depths of their ability and he also had given likewise. Then before a great assembly of people David issues this challenge: And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord?” Certainly this is the challenge before us in this building, especially the challenge to this faculty and this administration of the Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary. And the challenge to you the students: Who then is willing to consecrate, to dedicate his service, himself, his body this day unto the Lord? We can step forward with the kind of confidence that Solomon had when he sent to the king of Tyre message saying, Behold I build a house to the name of the Lord my God to dedicate it to Him . . . And the house which 1 build is great, for great is our God above all Gods. With that kind of attitude, with that kind of praise to God, is it any wonder then that as the building was built and completed, after the last of the cedars were in place and the last of the great gold ornamentation was finished that the time of dedication came - and we read from II Chronicles 5, It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord saying, 'For He is good, for His mercy endureth forever!' that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord: so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God,'' Jr is with great personal and professional pleasure that 1 participate tonight In this dedication service. We of the Grand Rapids Baptist College are proud to be identified with the Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary and with them praise the Lord for this place. I have looked on this building with great appreciation aesthetically. 1 have also looked on this building with some coveting and jealousy personally and professionally. Tonight 1 look on this building with great expectation for the hundreds of young men and women who in this place will get hold of the Word of God and have the Word of God get a grip on them In such a way that it will not let them go and they in turn will produce in our constituency and in this nation an extension of the body of Christ that can in no way be represented by this building. Our sister moves out officially tonight. As in a family we are torn between the blessings of extra space for those of us who remain behind and the fear of separation that is more than it should be. Let us rejoice In the blessings that come with this move but let us unitedly arm ourselves against any separation that may come between us. The Grand Rapids Baptist College congratulates the Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary on the facilities and the program and on the potential that lies ahead. May the Lord richly bless you in this place. 149 Campus Herald March 24 , 1 77 150 1. Ai Cuthbert stands in die new library and glances Through a book. 2.

Announcement Made This ‘Morning In Chicago Grand Rapids Baptist College was accepted as a mem her of the North Central Accrediting Association, achieving a three-year goal which started with the college’s candidate status in 1974. The announcement was made today at an executive breakfast, attended by Dr. Welch. Dr. Faber, and Dr. VeJdt. ’ From a small evening Bible In- stitute, Baptist College hav grown to a Christian liberal arts college of more than 800. The NCAA accreditation is one more step of growth. The Campus Herald staff congratu- lates the College on this achievement. May we continue to have '‘academic excellence with Christian commit- ment ” Statement By Dr. Welch According to Dr. Welch, “ai the present time regional accreditation in volves no compromise of the school's doctrine. Biblical teaching, admission practice or operational policies. It at some future date there is any pi essure brought to bear on doctrines, ad- missions, student conduct, or general school policy, our commitment is to the Word of God and not to an accrediting agency At no lime shall this school violate its Oirismn com- mitment for the sake of academic recognition. The Advantages of Accreditation . . .

Student Council is a representative body of the student body elected by the students. Within the organi- zation there are several committees whose aim is to serve you as a student. Most imponant of all our aspects is the spiritual. We have the Abundant Life Committee, the Committee on Missions Emphasis, and the Committee on Evangelism. These committees exist to unite our efforts of fellowship and service toward God, and our outreach to the world. Other committees of necessity for our social development involve the Social Committee, Royalty Committee, and Athletic Committee. Other committees are the Student Projects Committee, Communication Committee, and Election Committee. Student Council meetings are scheduled for Mondays, 6:00 P.M. You may attend these meetings and become aware of what is transpiring. If you would like to assist a committee, contact a member of Stu- dent Council or me personally. You will be the recipient also of many Student Council planned spiritual programs and socials. In these ways you are influenced by the Student Council as the council attempts to steer us into effective lives in rhe sight of God. Our goals for this year are heartfelt. First, we want to be used of God to improve relationships oil many levels: student to student, student to R.A., student to faculty, student to administration, school to com- munity, and of greatest importance, school to the Lord. We also desire to promote respect for authority, student participation and involvement to achieve spiritual and emotional unity, and to encourage effec- tive prayer among faithful men and women. To accomplish these desires we need you to be dedicated to the task. Be challenged by God's message to us . . Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young but set an example for believers in speech, in life, in love in faith, and in purity ... do not neglect your gift, be diligent in these matters: give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. (from 1 Timothy 4:12-15 NIV) t’m praying for you. Hold Jesus Christ high.

Elizabeth, whose father was a wealthy land-owner, became an invalid after a spinal injury and a lung ailment during her teens. She became famous lot her literary works when she was c[iiiie young and was considered to be a major poet of the Victorian era, more famous than her husband during their lifetimes. Robert Browning was the son of a well-to-do banker, artist and scholar. With private tutoring and encouragement from his parents, Browning became an established poet in England during his youth. After their marriage they settled in Flor- ence, Italy, in the Casa Guidi Palace, which may still be visited today. Here Elizabeth regained her health, had a son, and became active in writing and assisting with the struggle for the inde- pendence and unification of Italy. Sonnets from the Portuguese, her most famous poems, were written during the xime of her courtship with ‘Robert but were presented to him as a birthday gift and published in Italy. After fif- teen happy years of marriage, Eliza- beth died in her husband’s arms. Rob- ert returned to England for a while but never te-married and went again to live in Italy with his son before his own death. Some of his final poetic lines were Fear death? I was ever a fighter, so - one fight more, the best and the last! O thou soul of my soul! I shall clasp thee again, and with God be the rest! Engraved on his tomb are his famous words: Open my heart and you will sec graved inside of it Italy! Spring Drama 167 Miller Dorm FRONT ROW: Anneue Hettinger, Cindy Post, Mary Rodriqes, Mis.

As the graduates put on their caps and gowns, their families and friends were waiting to see them receive their diplomas. Dr. Veldt was the commencement speaker and he challenged them to enter into the world with the Lord as their mainstay and their refuge. Dr. Welch pointed out those who helped the graduates succeed; parents, grandparents, husbands, and wives. Everyone was happy, because everyone could feel that they had had a part, even if they couldn't hold a diploma. 74 Commencemenf Commencement 175 Then; is a lot more to tiie Baptist College than just an education' Condids 177 Freshman Class Lord, I praise you for my salvation. Even though I was nothing; You made me something. Because of your love, 1 owe my life to you. All my thoughts, actions, words and deeds are Yours, O Lord. Father, even if I fail that test, Or don't make the Gospel Team, Or lose the game for my fellow teammates, 1 will still try my hardest for you. And when Authorities seem to dominate my opinion of hair style, Or the type of blue jeans I wear, and even who I date on Friday night, 0 God, I will be obedient to You. And Lord, if you would like me to alter my thoughts and actions. Or get up earlier in the morning to be alone with You, Or maybe give up my favorite television program to spend lime with someone who needs a friend. Or to even give up the immediate to do the important, I will be willing for you - For You gave Your all to me, Lord. But, Heavenly Father, if 1 fail, if I disobey. And If I am not willing - then, O Lord, Please show me my sin, And create in me a clear heart So that the joy of your salvation will once again satisfy my heart. In Chrst's Marne I pray, Amen. Sophomore Class 1, the Sophomore Class in recognition of my generation's denial of the Truth of God, do hereby dedicate myself, as a member of this class to more actively defend; •• THE BIBLE as my final authority fox faith and practice (II Tim. 3:16) By accepting it as God's Holy, Inherent, and verbally inspired Word. By recognizing its necessity in providing my salvation. By desiring its sanctifica- tion through serious daily study. •• THE LOCAL CHURCH which is an earthly representation of the univeral Body of Christ. By the advancement of that Body through my personal membership in a spirit of love, devotion, and unity. By recognizing that God, by His grace, has granted gifts to me for their use in building the ministry of the local assembly of believers. (Heb. 10:25) •• THE HOLY TRINITY (Eph. 2:20-22) By glorifying God in each aspect of my life, including all spiritual, social, and academic areas. By faithfully preaching Christ and Him crucified, buried, and risen again. By maintaining a consistent Spirit-filled life. •• THE CHURCH ORDINANCES Including baptism as a symbol of my identifcation with the crucified and risen Lord. Including the Lord's Table as a symbol of my continuing fellowship with the living, interceding Savior and with His people. •• THE BROTHERHOOD OF SAINTS IN LOVE AND UNITY (1 Tim. 1:5) By faithfully praying for others. By shar- ing with others in their joy and sorrow. By keeping myself pure of others. By surrendering my own personal rights in favor of mutual respect for others. By encouraging and exhorting fellow class members to uphold this dedication statement. 1 affirm that by God's grace I will live a Spirit-filled, joyful and vibrant life for God's glory on the authority of His Holy Word (1 Tim. 4:12, 13) Junior Class Because of our dedication and love for Jesus Christ, we, as the Junior Class of the Grand Rapids Baptist Col- 178 Oeo’ication Statement lege . will strive in the strength God has given us to improve in the following areas: Throughout the honoring of Christ in everything we do, say, or think, according to the direction and purpose and by the power of the Holy Spirit we will be using our God-given abilities to continually submit our beings to Him. 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 denounce- ment 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 communicating with God by feeding on His Word, and having an effectual, fervent prayer life as the essence of our communication with Christ. We will put forth oui 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, both now and in the future. We will use our time profitably, make sure that our physical appearance does not detract from our personal testimonies, thank God for His leading, and not complain about our circumstances which He allows and controls. We will strive for greater consistency in our emotional and spiritual lives so that our personal testimonies will become stable. in our interpersonal relationships we will strive for an understanding, forgiving spirit and a considerate, uncritical attitude which reveals the love Christ for those with whom we come in contact. With the goal of uplifting and edifying, we will seek to have a sincere concern for the needs of those around us and develop with them a spirit of unity. Our gratefulness to God for the free nation in which He has allowed us to live compels us to realize our responsibility as Christian citizens. This involves developing our concern for the total, and most of all, spirit- ual welfare of our country. We recognize the need of submitting to, upholding, and defending our governmen- tal authorities to the extent that we can and still maintain our consistency with Biblical principles. We will endeavor to realize and fulfill our responsibilities to our school, to our country, to the body of Christ, and most of all, to our God. Senior Class As the Senior Class of The Grand Rapids Baptist College, we realize we are called out to serve the Lord person- ally. In order to do this better, we will strive to commit totally these following areas to Jesus Christ: •• To commit each day to God through prayer and Bible reading. •• To seek to establish Biblical principles for all areas of our lives. •• To let Christ be revealed in our actions and reactions. ••To share our faith consistently and with increased enthusiasm. •• To be able to accept ourselves and keep our bodies in good condition with moderation. ••To achieve our best in studies. •• To use our knowledge wisely to benefit others as well as ourselves. •• To be concerned about the spiritual atmosphere of this school and to make each of our lives contribute to making this institution conducive to spiritual growth, •• To set an example to other classes through oui activities by carrying them out to the best of our abilities. •• To have a positive reponse to rules, faculty and administration, reflecting the benefits of discipline rather than the means. •• To be concerned for others, to be available to them and their needs, remembering them in prayer. We consider it most important, above all, to realize our dependence upon God for the power to' achieve these purposes. We desire His power to be more effectual in our lives. Hoping that each individual of the Senior Class has been able to apply these principles to his life, we will continue to seek God's HIGHEST purpose in our future lives. ”1 have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep Thy righteous Judgments.” Tsalm 119: 106 Dedication Statement 179 BSH Student Roster t Janet Abuhl Nancie Adams Karl Alber Neiladele Aldrich Jane Allen Joy Allen Linda A Iverson Greg Anderson Joy Anderson Karen Anderson Marie Angliss Richard Annis, 111 Debra Armstrong Marcia Armstrong Catherine Attwater Donna Austin Michael Austin — B — Bob Baars David Babcock Simone Babcock Robert Babcock Tim Bacon Michael Bailey Debra Baker Janine Baker Gloria Baldwin Richard Baldwin Connie Balsley Rebecca Banks Ann Barnette Edwin Barr Jeffrery Barron Timothy Barsuhn Lloyd Bartley Cheryl Bartz Marlene Basinger Steve Batchelder Dennis Baumgartner Lois Beadle Keith Beauchemin Anthony Beavers 180 Silhouette Judy Beckman Dianna Belk Christine Bellows Alice Bennett Roy Ben nett e Michael Bergman Nancy Bergman Stewart Bernard Laurel Berndt Mark Best Steve Best Steve Bestrom Katherine Betts George Bevins Anne Bierema Georgia Bilger Betsy Birchard Don Birchard Dan Bishop Debra Blaga Steven Bloem Dave Blum Mary Boak Herman Boes Nyla Bogert David Boike Daryl Bolhuis Elizabeth Bollback Wayne Boonstra Diane Borden Lisa Bos Sue Botts Steve Bowerman Terrance Bowers Susan Bowman Esther Brace Martin Bradshaw Gayle Bradstreet Rose Bradstreet Thomas Branch Ken Brase Patricia Biase Keith Brauiigam Shila Breeding James Brehm Robert Brewer Melissa Bristol Randy Bronkema Debbie Bronson Jeff Bronson Stephen Brower Steven Brower Doug Brown Randy Brown Rebecca Brown Timothy D.

Meeting every week we compiled ideas fox new areas to cover in this edition. Some of these are: a scoreboard, separate group shot pages, the chan of positions, the Spiritual section, the Services section, a Faculty directory, dorms, and a student roster. There came several times when the students had to give up personal recreation in order to work on the year- book. Facing frustration, deadlines, and sometimes not very co-operative people the staff went on. We. as the yearbook staff hope you will enjoy this edition and it will bring back a lot of happy memories.
