Mr. Yin’s first-hand experience with Western college students came when he joined the EMC faculty for the second semester to teach Chinese Language and Chinese Culture. As an English teacher at Si- chaun Foreign Languages Insti- tute in Beijing, China, Mr. Yin was chosen along with nine other teachers to spend a year in the States under the China Education Exchange program. His year abroad began at Fres- no Pacific College in California, and he’s visited other American towns and some major cities. As Mr. Yin observes Ameri- cans, he recognizes, as one traveling in another culture does, that some of his pre- conceived ideas were wrong, especially of American young people. “Not all young people dance to rock 'n roll, smoke, and drink,” he notes. In fact, he doesn’t see too many dif- ferences between his American dnd his Chinese students. The greatest difference be- tween the two cultures is the element of devotion to the col- lective good, an aspect of his culture which he misses. “The Chinese people enjoy less privacy than Americans; how- ever, we need that feeling of togetherness. Especially the old people need to be among the young people,” he explains. Mr. Yin is anxious to return to his wife, who also teaches English, and to his 18-year old daughter at the first of June. Nevertheless, if EMC would of- fer him a position teaching Chi- nese for a few years and his family could join him, he admits he’d take the job. “That would be great!” Ann Landis 4 Stephen F.

Shenk Campus Pastor Peggy B. Shenk President’s Office Servanthood With a Smile Seven of EMC’s personnel are VSers on assignment at EMC. They are Associates in Servanthood working in varying roles in a program patterned after VS. Their services fill needs where the college can budget only housing, food, and an allowance as salary. Two Associates are retired employees of EMC who wanted to continue their work for the in- stitution. “I was involved a number of years at EMC as business manager and in the Education department,” says Grant Herr. “EMC allowed me to stay on after I was 65, and I wanted to show my apprecia- tion by volunteering.” Herr now works with the Physical Plant and acts as the college courier. Frances Brubaker, former Resi- dence Director, continues to serve EMC as receptionist for Student Services. Faye King fills the important position of Guest House host- ess. She appreciates the “good opportunity for a special serv- ice,” and especially enjoys meeting interesting people such as the Chinese delegation and Lecture-Arts performers. “Sometimes I run into people from my past whom I haven’t seen for many years!” she adds. The youngest Associate, Brad Swope, graduated from EMC in 1985 as a music major. He joined the program because it gave him “an opportunity to remain in an environment where I could continue to learn more music and where I could gain valuable work experience,” Brad says. In addition to work- ing in the music department, he hosts one of the guest houses. Joy Lapp, Nevin Bender, Sr., and Marian Bauman complete the list of volunteers. Lapp helps with custodial services in Lehman Auditorium, Bender works with the Physical Plant, and Bauman assists in the Advancement Office. Liz Witmer CLEANING UP THE GROUNDS, Nevin Bender, Sr. serves with the Physical Plant. 26 Faculty Donald E. Showalter Assistant Professor of Business Grace I. Showalter Librarian Millard E.

This winter he enrolled in EMC’s Christian Ministries pro- gram. To Bruce, the change was more than just a matter of declaring a major or choosing a college with a program. Bruce talks about his fall at UVA with mixed emotions. After graduating from EMHS, the size of UVA was pretty astonishing with 16,000 undergraduates and 4,000 students in the en- gineering school. However, he got to know the people in his suite well and he enjoyed them. In his hall, Bruce had to make a stand on the drinking issue early in the semester. As he made it clear that he did not party, he found that “peers thought it strange at first, but they respected me and got along with me as well as everyone else.” The academic life at UVA presented another challenge. “Classes were what I expected but the average SAT score for engineering students was 1290 so it was really hard.” Even though Bruce enjoyed his engi- neering classes he ran into a conflict. “I found it hard to spend time with God when I was be- hind in school work,” he ex- plains. So at the end of the fall semester at UVA, Bruce de- cided to transfer to EMC. With his Bible major, Bruce would like to spend several years in overseas mission and then attend seminary to prepare for a pastorate. “I will probably always be satisfied with EMC because it fits into my goals,” says Bruce decisively. “It would do a lot of people good to be in a university setting. It made me examine goals for my life.” Liz Witmer Freshmen 33 Julie Heatwole Linville, Virginia Wendy Hoffman Thompsontown, Pennsylvania Kirby Lee Keim Sarasota, Florida Heidi C.

Mention the name Patty King and chances are that almost anyone at EMC will know who you are talking about. Whether out on one of her many distance runs or simply talking with friends, this outgoing and personable freshman certainly stands out in a crowd. Patty, whose family lives in North Carolina, is the oldest of five children and considers her family to be the biggest in- fluence in her life. “The words ‘subtle’ and ‘quiet’ are not in my family’s vocabulary!” she ad- mits. “We are all rowdy, out- spoken and opinionated, but we love each other a lot. Being the oldest has taught me how to get along with other people and to think for myself; it has also made me kind of assertive and competitive.” That assertive, competitive spirit shows up in Patty’s hobbies, especially in running and writing.”! can’t imagine my life without those two activities,” she exclaims. “They keep me sane!” Those activities have also brought her some recognition. In addition to having an article published in Runner’s World magazine, Patty won the North Carolina state track champion- ship in the 3200 meters during her senior year of high school. She brings that athletic talent now to the EMC cross country team. Before coming to EMC, Patty says she had a mistaken image of what it would be like. “I was afraid that it would seem super- conservative and stifling to me, however, I have not felt that way at all.” She finds the diversity and friendliness of this campus give her opporunities to know many people and to expand her gifts. Presently an English major, Patty is planning on eventually working for a doctorate in Span- ish or English or both and she would like to live overseas. “Someday I’d like to be at least trilingual-right now I’m still working on bilingual!” Patty’s first year of college has clarified the guiding forces in her life. Her appreciation for “loving, trusting parents” has grown, but she also sees her “need for independence and the importance of making decisions for myself.” Primarily, she looks for God’s guidance “in my run- ning, writing, studies, relation- ships,” she asserts. “I want to give him the credit for whatever I might achieve.” Mike Martin James P.

Dunmore Pughtown, Pennsylvania Sophomores Freedom of Expression If the freedom to sing “scat (doo-bee doo-wah, jazz style) in public is a sign of a healthy self- image, Craig Snider is without doubt the most well-adjusted student at EMC. This spontan- eous Richmond native is known for his quirky sense of humor and his no-holds-barred tenor sax solos in Jazz Band, but also for his serious commitment to following Christ. A sophomore Christian Ministries major, Craig feels that “God is big enough to use me while I’m learning.” Craig spent the first semester of this year on Central American term, an experience which he says showed him that “eco- nomics runs the world, not ideology. Living in Central America changed my view of what it means to be as wealthy as I am in an underpriviledged world.” Craig expresses pride in EMC’s cross-cultural require- ment, noting that it is impossible to understand another culture without experiencing it, outside of “the smallness of the North American perspective.” Craig’s interest in music in- cludes writing and arranging as well as playing sax and guitar. “Jazz,” he says, “is a tension release for me, especially at the end of the day in Jazz Band.” He has also sung and played guitar in coffee houses and summer camp settings, performing folk songs and blues as well as his own compositions, “about half of which I’d be willing to sing in front of others.” Craig’s future plans remain uncertain, although he hopes that his eventual vocation could be called “Christian ministries,” even if it’s busing tables at Howard Johnson’s. “However, I have no plans to bus tables at Howard Johnson’s at this time,” he adds with a grin.

Richter Lansdale, Pennsylvania 46 Sophomores Communicating Her Character In two of EMC’s recent dramas, Quiet in the Land and All the Way Home, a soft-spoken, petite woman has moved audi- ences to tears. Out of character, she is Lori Hartman, and she did not just happen to get lead roles. As a child Lori remembers being facinated by acting. Her actual acting experience began in high school when she acted in three plays and directed an- other. Her mother who also directed plays and her older sister who acted were important influences in Lori’s decision to try out for her first college production. Of course acting has not been all glory. Nightly play practice demands a lot of time for a full- time student and the constant memorizing and interpreting requires a lot of energy. “For me interpreting lines is easier than memorizing,” Lori comments. “The reward comes when my character is finally reached.” Other benefits for Lori which make the work fulfilling have been relationships built with other actors and the satisfaction of knowing she communicated something to the audience. In spite of her talent, becom- ing a professional actress is not among Lori’s goals. As a sopho- more English major with a Theatre minor, she hopes someday to direct high school plays, and she sees the acting experience she will have accumulated at EMC as helpful in reaching that goal.

Ebersole Mount Joy, Pennsylvania Sappora Manners Lyla Johnson and Yvonne Kauffman’s cross-cultural ex- perience was original; they planned their own. From August 30th through November 29, 1985 they lived in Sappora, Japan’s sixth largest city, located on the northern island of Hokkoida. While in Sappora, Lyla and Yvonne stayed at the home of Lyla’s sister and brother-in-law, missionaries under Mennonite Board of Missions. Living with Americans provided some shelter from the cultural changes, but the visitors were conscious of their “foreigner” status. “I didn’t like being stared at. I felt like I never blended in,” said Yvonne. “It was very interesting to be a minority.” The two students also had to get used to some unique customs, such as taking off their shoes whenever they entered a house or bathroom. Yvonne mentioned that “the Japanese people are definitely more polite than Americans,” so they learned not to blow their noses in public and never to walk and eat at the same, not even an ice- cream cone. Besides doing sightseeing in Sappora and throughout Japan, Lyla and Yvonne were taking 15 credit hours independently under EMC. Courses included Japanese Art, Japanese Religion, and Japanese Menno- nites. An enjoyable highlight for both women was teaching English in several Japanese junior high schools for five days. “The children brought us gifts and took our pictures,” said Lyla. Reflecting on their cross- cultural adventure, Yvonne commented, “We’ve changed in our thinking and understanding of people.” Lyla added, “You don't realize how good it is until you’ve done it!” Martha Fisher Beth Eby Harrisonburg, Virginia Tina Eshleman Emmitsburg, Maryland Jack Eskridge Tangier, Virginia Heather Renee Farmwald Sarasota, Florida Kim Frank Broomall, Pennsylvania Donna Rae Frey Akron, New York Sherie Frueh Alexandria, Virginia Douglas Geib Manheim, Pennsylvania Carmen Good New Hamburg, Ontario Jeanette Good Reading, Pennsylvania Lois I.

But one of Junior Don Wert’s interests is unusual perhaps simply be- cause he’s male. Don is inter- ested in women’s issues and the feminist cause. His support of women in their search for equality affects the way he un- derstands a woman’s position in the church, theology, and relationships between men and women. Women’s issues first became important to Don during his attendance at Assembly Church in Goshen. There fe- male pastors and inclusive language are an important part of the church and its worship. Don sees the issue of women in the ministry as a matter of “calling out people’s gifts and respecting persons because they are called by God.” He stresses inclusive language be- cause “the constant use of male pronouns can really, alienate women. We need to have peo- ple feel equally accepted in the church.” Along with his support of un- limiting language, Don does not limit his understanding of God to that of a male figuree. “God’s sexuality transcends human un- derstanding. Calling God ‘he’ is limiting; a God with maternal and paternal characteristics is exciting.” Don sees being a feminist as “working towards equality for a group of people being oppres- sed.” And that process can happen at EMC as men and wo- men develop understanding in their relationships. “We need to be open, not believing in stere- otypes,” he asserts. “We need to talk to each other about the pressures and expectations we’re experiencing because we are male or female.” Liz Witmer Kris Stoesz Akron, Pennsylvania Betsy Stoker Annandale, Virginia Mary Ann Stoll Sarasota, Florida Marcia Stutzman Chesapeake, Virginia Jackie Sullivan Grottoes, Virginia Spencer Swartzendruber Berlin, Ohio Missy Thomas Berlin, Ohio Jeannie Tomlinson Oak Park, Illinois Lori Umble Christiana, Pennsylvania Linwood Vrolijk Hinton, Virginia Martha Walker Reston, Virginia Dean Weaver Hollsopple, Pennsylvania Mark Weaver Brooksville, Florida Pamela J.

Patty grew up in Tegucigalpa, Honduras as a devout Catholic, though her view of the Church changed radically in 1974 when she became involved in a non- denominational church and made her personal choice to follow Christ. Until this time she had plan- ned to prepare for a medical career; however, her interests changed. “After I became a Christian, I wanted to do nothing but serve in the church,” Patty explains. She spent parts of the next 6 years studying theology and teaching youth in her church, unsure of which interest to pursue. In 1983 Patty decided to study Early Childhood Educa- tion. She heard about EMC, and “basically,” she says, “I made a 24-hour decision to attend EMC.” She values her friends here and the academic program which have “broadened my un- derstanding of other cultures.” Returning to the culture of Honduras brings excitement and uncertainty. Situated be- tween El Salvador and Nicar- agua, Honduras is being influ- enced by the political instability of her neighbors. This factor presents Patty with a new set of decisions. “There is need for Christian teachers in the private schools in the city, but also in the Honduran countryside Pat- ty’s vision for service to the Church will undoubtedly guide her again.

Leaman Strasburg, Pennsylvania 2-yr Computer Processing Psychology Paul G. Leaman Jr. Lancaster, Pennsylvania Biology Education Discovering Beyond the Classroom The Senior year offers a variety of experiences for EMC students. For many Seniors a major part of their year is spent learning outside the college classroom. Nursing majors shuttle between King's Daugh- ter and Rockingham Memorial Hospitals, Education majors begin student teaching in local schools, Social Work, Camping Recreation, and Dietetics majors complete an internship, and science majors have an op- portunity to participate in a research project. Dave Bergey, a Nursing major, has found the clinical ex- perience helpful although there have been some frustrating mo- ments. “Clinicals are a step in the right direction; however, no matter how much experience you have in clinicals, you will always feel green when you get out in the nursing profession,” Dave anticipates. Student Teaching is an in- tense semester of hands-on ex- perience in the classroom. Ann Landis, who taught English at Fort Defiance High School, describes student teaching as the most practical part of the Education curriculum. As well as being good preparation for what the job entails, she found teaching at the high school was enjoyable. “After student teach- ing I decided to put other career goals on hold and enjoy teaching.” Biology Chemistry major Ken Swartz has been involved in synthetic and conformational studies of cycloheptene sys- tems, a research project which has helped him to discover how textbook information really works. The value Ken finds in his project interns in other fields would share: “It’s a way of tak- ing learning from the classroom and solidifying it.” Liz Witmer Seniors 79 Maria Kay Lehman St. Anne, Illinois Nursing Philip R.

Since then this Senior father of three has completed a Biblical Studies and Theology degree in three years and now plans to go to Seminary. During high school, he de- scribes himself as “disin- terested”. After graduation he worked as a tire mechanic and was involved at his church, Franconia Mennonite in Penn- sylvania, teaching Sunday School, supervising Vacation Bible Schools, and later as part of a pastoral team. After serving as a minister for a year and a half, Clyde asked to pursue a Bible degree at EMC; his church agreed to sup- port him and his family for a two- year trial period which was later extended to three plus a year in seminary. Despite some mem- bers’ misgivings, he forged ahead with his plans to gather the “tools” which he felt he needed for the ministry. Clyde devotes 40 to 50 hours a week to studies and sees “my schooling as a full-time job.” However, spending time with his family is crucial; “a married student has to involve his spouse so that they can con- tinue to communicate.” Clyde hopes to be a pastor in a team setting, and to serve in conference and possibly church-wide leadership posi- tions. He feels that the dif- ference between his high school and college experiences is incentive. “At EMC, I have a desire and a drive to accomplish what I set out to do.” Brad Yoder Robert and Cheri Swartzentruber Harrisonburg, Virginia His: Computer Science Hers: Nursing Heather Taylor Elyria, Ohio Home Economics Janet Brenneman Troyer Elida, Ohio Nursing Diane H.

Saturday afternoon graduates, family, and friends met in Lehman Auditorium for the Baccalaureate service. Two Seniors spoke to their classmates; Lee Eshleman chal- lenged them to be “unguarded and Ann Landis reflected on the hopeful side of the relativity of time. Bible professor Steve Dintamin’s provocative message asked Seniors to “Receive the Holy Spirit” in their future vocations. Music faculty presented a concert later in the evening, followed by the President’s reception for Seniors and their parents. During Commencement, which was held in the JMU Convocation Center, Former First Lady Rosalyn Carter addressed the Seniors and President Detweiler conferred 235 degrees to the 227 graduates.

Just as they did, you will have compel- ling choices to make. You can choose to work for money, for power, for status, or for self- fulfillment. You can choose to marry, and nurture and sustain a family, or you can choose all of these. You have unprecedented options in today’s world. The criti- cal point is to remember who you are and where you came from no matter what you choose to do with your lives. You will need this foundation. Freedom can be scary-freedom from authority, freedom from conformity, freedom of personal preference in economic, cultural, and professional opportunities. Your freedom can be scary be- cause it won’t guarantee you the ability to make critical judgments about human problems that will confront you. Still, throughout your lives you will find that your roots provide you with unex- pected sometimes, inner sources of confidence, of self-discipline, and of compassion from which you can draw strength to make the right decisions. Top: OLD GRADS (left), new grads and faculty (center), and guests fill the JMU Convocation Center. Above: CLASS VICE PRESIDENT Maria Lehman and President Brian Boettger compare our lives to portraits being painted. Graduation 97 You will find that your families, friends, teachers, and pastors have taught you the subtle reali- ties of intimacy and communica- tion, acceptance and security, growth and development and love, and you will find that your per- sonal relationship with God mat- ters more than anything else in the world. What I would like to suggest to you today—and I think this might be opposite from what other commencement speakers say-is that when you think about your role in the future, look backward to the past. At this particular time in our national life for instance, many who read headlines and listen to the evening news go underground emotionally out of a sense of in- adequacy about what they can do or what they can contribute. Others of us are more overtly alarmed. What we need to keep in mind is that we’re not the first generation that has had to cope with problems.... ...Remember those ancestors who coped with problems that seemed insurmountable, because there are many problems which face us today. We must be com- mitted to a peaceful world—to an America that seeks peace and fosters negotiations not armed in- tervention to settle disputes. We must be committed to a world that is free of the threat of nuclear war, and to a country that seeks strength through the advance- ment of civil rights around the world. We must be committed to excellence and the quality of life for all our people, and seek to value the work of every person.

We must remember that the strength of our country lies in its diversity of people, and that our greatest resources are human ones. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “The lesson of life is to believe what the years and the centuries say against the horn's.” The hours say that your new life will be precarious. The centuries say that you have the God-given power to create good lives. In my opinion, no matter what you do, what you become, you can benefit from holding firm to a sense of historical perspective. It will nudge you to continuously think about the idealistic aspira- tions you have today. It will give you courage to reach out for help when you need it from family, friends, teachers, pastors. It will give you inspiration to help oth- ers who are in need, and it will remind you with certainty that you as Christians, responsible young men and women, have roots. Your tradition is one of cour- tesy and respect for each other, and willingness to do your share in making life better. So do not hesitate to look back. You will recognize that your values are a precious resource which can sus- tain you and nourish your family and strengthen your community and our country. I am hopeful about the future when I see young men and women like you who are creating it. Thank you for letting me be a small part of your future today. Graduation 99 . 100 ACADEMIC LIFE BIBLE Exploring the Book In biblical studies it is important at some point to realize that the Bible is not as familiar a book as you once thought; it comes to us from an alien culture and it speaks a penetrating and disturbing mes- sage that cannot be captured in a bland formula. Once you realize that and begin the hard work of re- reading the Bible, then it begins to open itself to you in a way that converts and renews. 5 Steve Dintaman SUMMER ELDERHOSTEL STUDENTS listen as EMC Bible Professor Ray Gingerich tells the Anabaptist story.

Every person, family, or church, every neighborhood, and every nation can drift into self-centeredness in- stead of being an agent of life and spontaneity. So- cial work at its best does not “fix things up,” but works with others to solve the problems that hinder persons and groups. It’s a mutual search to find ourselves by reaching out to others, rather than stepping on or neglecting them. 5 Titus Bender Social Work 117 LEARNING CENTER Building Self-Worth Helping students to see their own self-worth, especially in the face of defeat (low test scores, poor time management, weak writing skills, etc.) is both creative and creating.

A wus- sier? A woss?” people ask, eyeing one dubiously. And I, feeling obliged to try to still their nerves, break into my speech (which by now is com- pletely by rote) as to what WSSY is. WSSY, Washington Study Service Year, is a program that sends ten to twelve students from both EMC and Goshen to the Capital for ten months of learning through doing. While there we students are given the chance to explore a range of exciting and new situations. One of those situations was university life at the University of Maryland, where most of us were enrolled part-time. The U of M's enrol- lment figure is larger than the popula- tion of Harrisonburg-a big change from EMC! Another new area of exploration for us was the internships that we were assigned in our fields of interest. I worked at a literacy action agency tutoring illiterate adults. Having been raised in a haven of books, it was a shock to me to find out the statistics of illiteracy in America and see the problem first hand. The other housemembers’ internships served as strong eye-openers to the world for them as well. A third area of exploration was art in the city. D.C. offered us everything from Rostropovich with the National Symphony to the Violent Femmes, the Kirov ballet to breakdancing, the National Gallery to street artists. We absorbed it all! Our group met with WSSY coordi- nators Nelson Good and Peggy Bendroth in weekly seminars where we discussed and worked through many of the ideas, questions, and issues that we were encountering. How can we best work as peace- makers in this nuclear age? How can we, as Christians, deal with racism, politics, and institutions? How do we incorporate our past, our roots, into the secular setting of the city? It was a year of new situations which raised new questions, and it’s the questions and the talk between the housemembers that we’ll re- member longest. That’s the part of the city that we’ll take home with us.

In fact, for the three and a half months between August 29 and December 12, the Central American students exper- ienced the longest Christmas and Easter break of their lives. For Christmas one student re- ceived a kiss full on her lips from a beggar in a Nicaraguan center square. Another was given a can of tuna as a departing gift from his Costa Rican family. Seashells, carved coco- nuts, crosses, and stuffed toads rounded out the list of things brought back from the eight weeks spent in Costa Rica, three weeks in Nicar- agua, three more in Honduras, and four intense days in El Salvador. Through hours upon hours of lis- tening to Spanish teachers, political speakers, religious leaders, and refu- gees, the students gained proficiency in a new language, an understanding of the political and church situations and their interrelation, as well as the responsibility to share the stories of the people they had befriended. Often the EMCers would try to give to beggars, to cooperatives by work- ing for a week, to their host families and friends. Yet invariably any food, coins, or clothes given were repaid through acceptance, smiles, other food, tapestries, wood carvings, or a story. That was Christmas. Then there was Good Friday and Easter. There were dark, cloudy days filled with amoebas, diarrhea, appendicitis, frustration with a new language, mis- understandings, and the constant presence of poverty and armed con- flict. Death visited students through their families' losses, but also in the loss of middle-class satisfaction. They discovered “we are the rich.” Right in the middle of that cloudy, confusing mess, however, Easter burst upon them. Smiles shone out from broken down shacks. The mem- bers of a refugee camp called the students “their hope.” A beautiful sunset and a coral reef on a Car- ribean island spoke of God’s beauty. Within the group, awareness in- creased and motivation was renewed to go and express the love which they had been given. Finally the vacation ended. The students returned to Burger King and peanut butter sandwiches. As with most vacations, pictures, stories and souvenirs are not all that remain. Laughter, tears, anger and vision are all final gifts found under the Central American Christmas tree, gifts to be guarded jealously and freely shared.

The Human Connection If there is a common demoninator in the world, I think it might be knowing we are human. Not everyone believes in God. Not everyone has a family. Near- ly, but not everyone likes ice cream. Between America and the Middle East Semester, it seems to me one thing we all share is our humanness. In the desert just outside Cairo, Egypt, three pyramids sleep in the sun- warmed sand. They are monuments to god-men. Ancient Pharaohs, flesh- and-blood rulers, were worshipped as deities who controlled the magic of life and the Nile. Now these lazy pyramids suggest that some ancient humans almost escaped their humanness. But the crumbling corners of the massive pyramid stones call even the Pharaohs back to reality. At Yad Vashem, the Jewish Holo- caust Memorial in Jerusalem, I slowly moved through rooms of art and photo- graphs, dragging my heavy spirit with me. Six million murders. The Jews today grieve; they need Israel. I watched a Jew stand at a display case and weep. His wife reached into her purse for a Kleenex for him. Human. Mahana rubbed the red dirt on the veins of his wrist: “This land is in my blood.” Palestinians, he and his 80- year-old father’s family had tended olive groves on that land for at least sixty years. Then the Israeli govern- ment bulldozed the stone house and uprooted the olive trees. But Mahana and his father still live on their land in a tent and an old bus, planting new seed- lings in the field. By staying, Mahana fights back with all his resources. He is the human spirit. Jesus had to make a vocational choice. He could have stayed a good Jewish stone mason. But he kept look- ing for God’s cues in the needs and responses of the Galilean fishermen who liked him, in the rocky wilderness places where he sought solitude, in the crowds’ addiction to him-and their misunderstanding of him, in the anger of the school of Jewish teachers who thought he was too liberal, and in the panic of the Garden of Gethsemane. With human dedication, he found his way. And then he rejoiced with the angels and the disciples by frying fish for breakfast on the beach at Galilee. John Kreider likes to climb anything. Donna Frey likes to sing. Ric Gullman likes to drink cappucino. Calvin Shenk likes to ask questions. Forty-one of us humans being human together. Well, even if humanness really isn’t the common denominator, between America and the Middle East Semes- ter, I have seen in these people my humanness.

FROM STONEHENGE TO THE GREATER LONDON COUNCIL We were twenty-nine Americans attempting to catch a glimpse of England, its people and their attitudes toward their land. We wanted to hear of the struggles among kings, bishops, and serfs for control of the farms and pastures. We also wanted to meet the present inhabitants of England and obtain a contemporary view of English agri- culture, fishing, and land-use plan- ning. From July 30 to August 19 we attended illustrated lectures, sketched ancient tools and modern skylines, mastered the “tube in London, and toured farming and fishing villages which have changed very little in a thousand years. On a free weekend, we scattered to Edinburgh, Yorkshire, Cambridge, and Canterbury. Everywhere we saw the cathedrals and the Roman ruins in the midst of urban centers, usually well separated from the English countryside busy with the August harvest. We were impressed to find that our food and travel allowance of £100 per week was almost equal to a retired couple’s monthly social security check. However, their simple lifestyles found extrava- gance in a constant appreciation of the arts and flowers. Flowers tumbled out of Georgian window boxes and crammed the private space of row house “front yards.” We also got to feel a bit of the English ability to “get on with life” despite the depressed economy and high rate of unemployment. We appreciated the friendliness and courtesy of the bank teller who showed sympathy when the value of the dollar dropped, and of the Salis- bury Baptist Church congregation who produced an excellent lunch on our arrival at Bishopdown. We also enjoyed the English replies to our thanks, since they don’t use our phrase “you’re welcome.” After being thanked for advice on which bus to take to the Tate Gallery, the informer replied, “That’s what good neighbors are for.” The history of the English land and people became more meaning- ful to us as we toured remnants of the spectacular past, but the obser- vation of England’s present places and uses of land, and interaction with the English people enriched our appreciation of the human condi- tion.

Twelve are from Canada and twelve from the countries of Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya, Honduras, Israel, Palestine (West Bank), Malaysia, Trinidad, and Zaire. This year the international students shared an Ethiopian meal together and an ice cream social with the M.K.’s (Mission- ary Kids). They also had a posi- tive experience with the Rotary Club of Harrisonburg, which in- vited international students to a banquet at the Sheraton Inn. A display of artifacts from other countries assembled by EMC students stimulated some good conversation with the Rotar- ians. Additionally, a chapel by several international students and an assembly talk by Freddy Kisare in Swahili, translated by Joseph Shenk, helped them to gain visibility on campus. International students are valuable because they stretch and challenge us to see other cultures’ world views and to see ourselves through other eyes. Those of us who have had the privilege of friendships with international students have found them greatly enriching.

While abroad, they had solemnly pro- mised themselves to faithfully practice their Spanish upon their return to the U.S. On returning, however, they promptly allowed their Spanish skills to fall into decay, and so felt more than a little guilty. Fortunately, a few began to realize that what they really needed was accountability to a group. Acting on this aware- ness, they joined the recently formed Spanish Club. Throughout the year, this dedicated collection of moti- vated individuals met together weekly over lunch to discuss a wide range of topics in Spanish, always making sure to speak a little more loudly than normal so as to impress anyone who hap- pened to be close by. The year’s highlight came in December with the first annual Spanish Club Tortilla and Refried Bean Christmas Luncheon.

STUDENT MISSION FELLOWSHIP Established only three years ago, Student Mission Fellow- ship (SMF) is a relative new- comer to the veritable plethora of campus interest groups. That fact, however, in no way dimin- ishes the validity of SMF, which exists to foster student interest in structured mission work as well as “informal” missions, act- ing on the realization that Jesus Christ’s call to “Go into all the world...” applies to you and me, here and now at EMC. Faculty with years of “full time” mission work behind them spoke to us, providing positive role models. We also discussed within the group, challenging each other to allow God to work through us. Most importantly, we listened to God through prayer groups and SMF’s first “Concert of Prayer”, held in the Discipleship Center. The chal- lenge remains to find the proper balance between thinking and doing. Les Horning STUDENT MISSION FELLOWSHIP: Mike Brislen, Twila Gingrich, John Kreider, Les Horning, Deirdre Longacher.

As Peace Fellowship met this year people heard, wondered, thought, and prayed about a multitude of issues. The “here” included a report on the Gemeinschaft home, labor and management dis- cussions involving the Marvel strike, and a reminder about Martin Luther King. There were also meetings concerning domestic violence, the work of the Washington Community Fellowship, and a discussion of Civil Disobedience. The “there included reflec- tions on Laos, South Africa, El Salvador, the Phillipines, Haiti, and Israel by people recently returned from each of these locations. Personal reports were also given by students returning from Central America and from time spent with Wit- ness for Peace. Members of Peace Fellow- ship also tried to follow the cross, to decrease the distance between us and them, by sup- porting students organizing a relief supper, helping to fund a demonstration on town square, and sending students to Nica- ragua. Reflection on the scriptures furthered these ends. A meeting for prayer and sharing strength- ened the ties. And after all these things, two things remain. Peace, the pur- pose. Fellowship, the means. Jody Shearer PEACE FELLOWSHIP: Kass Seitz, Titus Bender, Ray Gingerich, Kay Gunther, Jim Lapp, Ed Nyce, Cheryl Miller, Ken Seitz, Kate Brainard. STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION feo3 C@mffTfMD©i)ft0®O1 Student Government Associ- ation supported a number of student causes this year. Money was budgeted for the establishment of the Student Women’s Association, and SGA played a part in sending four EMC students to Nicaragua with Witness for Peace. Support was also provided for a Peace Fellowship dinner to raise funds for refugees. Additionally, mem- bers of the Food Service Com- mittee were instrumental in bringing about changes in the cafeteria. As a final act of the year, SGA appropriated money for the purchase of computers for general student use. Much of what Student Gover- nment achieved this year, however, cannot be tangibly measured. The primary focus was on facilitating communica- tion between students and administration. Participation on administrative committees provided students with the opportunity to present student ideas, opinions, and concerns to the administration. For the first time, SGA invited members of an administrative committee and local members of the board of trustees to participate in a dis- cussion of the issues facing EMC. The accomplishments of SGA this year have established a solid foundation for future SGA’s to build on.

EMC STUDENT WOMEN’S ORGANIZATION Before the first day of school even began, the new Eastern Mennonite College Student Women’s Association had al- ready been dubbed EMCSWA (em’swa) by someone who felt that the organization would fiz- zle. By the end of the year, the editor of the Weather Vane had this to say: ’’The emergence of the new EMC Student Women’s Organization has provided opportunities for discussing matters of special importance to women and has made an effort to include males in these dis- cussions.” EMCSWA began because several women felt the need to better understand what it means to be female. In re- sponse a planning team was formed made up of five student women. This team organized forums and discussions on topics ranging from women’s mental health to date rape to women in the church and men’s issues; both women and men were encouraged to attend. EMCSWA also sponsored trips to hear Gloria Steinem speak in Charlottesville and to the Virginia Women’s Studies Con- ference in Richmond. In addition to larger activities, EMCSWA small groups of four to eight persons met weekly to give support and share ques- tions, struggles, anger, and growth. In keeping with EMCSWA’s goal of bridging the gap between the sexes, these groups included men and women. By confronting issues which other groups on campus don’t approach, the EMC Student Women’s Organization has met a need felt by both men and women: broadening the under- standing of what it means to be male or female. After its suc- cessful debut, EMCSWA looks to continue tackling these issues next year. Cindy Lapp EMCSWA 133 Below: THE BUBBLE SISTERS perform “Let it Snow” during the Christmas jazz assembly.

JAZZ BAND “But...you guys aren’t allowed to dance!” That was the con- fused response of National Public Radio commentator Scott Simon after wandering into an EMC Jazz rehearsal looking for an example of typical Mennonite music. Needless to say, his stereotypes were somewhat shattered by the musical enthusiasm of the over 20 instrumentalists, the vocal “Bubble Sisters” trio, and the group’s director, Steve Sachs. EMC Jazz experienced its best year ever both as a pep band at men’s and women’s basketball games and as a con- cert jazz band. On the pep band front, the group fired crowds’ emotions with cheers and “charges,” even conquering “enemy territory” in the form of an away game at Bridgewater which was dominated by EMC fans. As a concert band, EMC Jazz performed Christmas and End-of-the-Year assemblies as well as playing at a campus picnic in the fall and a local Rotary Club meeting at the Sheraton Inn in the spring. The climax of the year proved to be the now traditional no-holds- barred Spring Concert which drew the largest and most responsive EMC Jazz crowd ever. An exciting addition to this year’s Jazz schedule was an extended weekend tour to Pennsylvania, which took place in late February. The tour, which involved five performances in three days on the road, helped to sharpen the band as an en- semble and to draw the group together. Hopefully the positive public relations generated from this and future tours will serve to bring in new EMC Jazz recruits. The group celebrated a year of exciting music with a steak barbeque picnic at director Steve Sach’s house. Looking back, the long hours of rehear- sal were a cheap price for the many inspired moments of mu- sical creation which took place when the Jazz band “jammed out”. Brad Yoder 134 Jazz Band CHAMBER SINGERS fcSO©SlD This year’s edition of EMC Chamber Singers was charac- terized by activity and variety. The 25-member group tackled a gamut of music from Renais- sance motets to twentieth century choral works such as William Schuman’s “Carols of Death”, with stops along the way at Schutz, Bach, Mozart, folk music, new hymns, and even a delightful children’s musical. Performance spots in- cluded churches, college and high school assemblies, old people’s homes, and even an extremely high balcony of the National Cathedral in Washing- ton, D.C. The choir presented four major campus concerts during the year: Fall, Christmas, an all- Bach concert in February (Bach’s birth month), and the Spring “Two-for-One” Concert, which was shared with the Per- forming Arts Ensemble. Of par- ticular interest in the Christmas concert was the musical “The Reluctant Dragon”, by English composer John Rutter, which featured innovative staging and costumes, climaxed by the gluttonous “Banquet Fugue”. The Bach concert was enriched by the presence of a small orchestra, and the Spring con- cert by a trio of violin, cello, and flute for the choir’s final perfor- mance of Alice Parker’s moving “Sacred Symphonies”. A significant high point of the year was the 9-day tour which took place over Spring Break. The group began by traveling to Washington to sing at the Na- tional Cathedral and at Wash- ington Community Fellowship, and then proceeded into south- east Virginia, eventually circling back to Harrisonburg. Tour highlights included performing for Calvary Fellow- ship, whose gospel choir also Above Right: DURING THE EASTER CHAPEL members of Chamber Singers prepare to sing “Awake, O Sleeper.

Chamber’s celebrated the end of the year with a gourmet lunch prepared by the director himself. It was a fitting end to a year of delicious music. Brad. Yoder Chamber Singers 135 ORCHESTRA While the EMC-Community Orchestra would win no awards tor virtuosity, intonation, or the size of audiences to which it plays, the group was unique this year in two ways. The first has to do with a perennial problem: the lack of interested musicians. Each year this problem is dealt with in various ways; this year musicians from Bridgewater College and James Madison University were recruited to fill the holes in instrumentation. The JMU students rehearsed with the group only on the night prior to the concert. Fortunately, they were experienced and tal- ented enough to join in and put on a good concert on short notice. The Orchestra was also unique in the fact that the con- ductor was partially handicap- ped. Gail Little, conductor and violin teacher at EMC, had a serious back problem around Christmas. The pain as well as weakness from the ailment lim- ited her movement and stam- ina, and many times during rehearsals Gail was forced to stop waving her baton and tell the group to keep playing. Although she had still not completely recuperated when she conducted the Spring Con- cert in April, Gail directed the entire concert and inspired many of the musicians with her tenacity. An added incentive to all the members of the Orches- tra to perform well was the fact that this was her last concert as conductor. The Orchestra did not let Gail down, making her final concert a memorable one.

PERFORMING ARTS ENSEMBLE A new thing took place in EMC’s Music and Drama Departments this year-a combination ensemble chris- tened the Performing Arts Ensemble. Formed and led by music professor Marge Maust, first semester’s female- dominated group grew to an evenly mixed male female crew of twenty by second semester. The purpose of the new en- semble was to bring, through drama and music, the message of servanthood and true Chris- tian living to EMC and the area community. The main fall pre- sentation was a satire on the in- consistencies of the Church called “Forgive Us Our Chicken Coops. Scenes depicted a con- gregation explaining the church’s meaning to a new- comer by showing him its La- dies Aid Club, Sunday School Committee, Baking Committee, etc., forgetting to include the real meaning of the church, Jesus Christ. Five ensemble members per- formed a collection of vignettes called “Light from a Tree.” These one or two minute scenes ranged from humorous portrayals of children’s inter- pretations of Christianity to thought-provoking representa- tions of adults’ misunder- standings. The Performing Arts Ensem- ble focused on music during the second semester, performing hymns and secular folk pieces. Second semester dramas in- cluded a symbolic story, “The People Who Dwelt in Dark- ness,” and “Watch at the World’s End,” a liturgical drama which was part of the Spring Arts Festival. Throughout the year the group gave programs in chap- els and at local churches. A weekend tour in the spring performing at churches and high schools in Pennsylvania climaxed a year of learning to know each other and building an effective artistic ministry.

For the first time this year, SEA organized festive Student Teacher Kick-Offs where friends and classmates showed support and encouragment to seniors facing the upcoming student teaching challenge. The highlight of the year was the Christmas Banquet where talented SEA members pro- vided a variety of entertainment ranging from singing and acting to story-telling. Other activities included guest speakers from Fairplay Wilderness Camp, the charming movie “Amy on the Lips , Fasching Fest, and a Homecoming Fair display. Anne Kaufman Right.

Outing Club activities include canoeing, backpacking, hiking, a day at the lake, and a weekend of skiing in West Virginia. These activities are open to all students, who can sign up for them in the Post Office. Although Outing Club usually plans several yearly activities, this year’s backpacking trip was cancelled to allow students to participate in flood relief follow- ing the November ’85 flooding. In February, eighteen students enjoyed a somewhat snowy weekend at Canaan Valley, West Virginia. Activities in- cluded downhill and cross- country skiing, hiking, sight- seeing, and a relaxing Saturday evening of games, hot choco- late and cookies in front of a crackling fire. With sunshine pouring down, blue sky overhead, and the sounds of campus far away, one can forget that he she is a college student for a few hours and enjoy snow covered- slopes, a leaf-strewn Appala- chian trail, or an exciting canoe trip down the wandering Shen- andoah River.

PRE-MEDICAL SOCIETY Ml Iru 0X0 D 0X0 Sometimes the Pre-Medical Society is viewed as a group of overconfident people who sit around and discuss their GPA’s at meetings, or a bunch of one- dimensional studyheads who talk about the future of med- icine. Actually, the Pre-Med Society would be better char- acterized as a largely confused group of people who are trying to decide if they want medicine to be their lives. Ways of exploring this include tours of Rockingham Memorial Hospital, speakers from various backgrounds and specialties, interviews with EMC graduates now attending medical school, and informal discussions with other “premies” about their goals and the reasons behind them. In many ways the society functions as a service organiza- tion to support the student in confidently and enthusiastically preparing for medical school.

Chosen from a group of applicants because of their spe- cial skills in the area of relation- ships and counseling, their roles this year were varied and endless. Being an RA meant having a centrally located room so peo- ple could easily get to it in time of need. Not only was the room accessible but it was larger so people could ’’hang out” there as they felt the urge. The fresh- men especially found them- selves knocking frequently on the RA's doors to borrow a key, to ask a phone number or direc- tions to the mall, to ask if a certain teacher was hard, or to find out what that cute guy was like. For the RA it meant being available to talk at almost any time, organizing monthly house activities, and generally making sure each person was adjusting properly to school life. An espe- cially important role was being responsible for the master key to all rooms and to the dorm itself. It was not unusual to be awakened at 6:00 AM by a wet- haired towel-clad early bird who had locked himself out of the room on the way to the shower. Or maybe the knock would come at 12:30 AM (when the RA was in dreamland) by an under- nourished co-ed who had just got asked out to late night pizza and needed a late key. Whatever the demands, the RA’s were capable and they learned to adjust-most of the time. If the key fits...

Harvest Happening celebrated the changing of the leaves with a costume contest and trip to the mountains. The campus community anticipated Christ- mas with the Lighting of the Greens, and broke the winter cold with the Beach Party on the white sand of the gym floor. The final party was the Spring Fling highlighted by a chicken barbe- que on the lawn.

Theatre enthu- siasts become involved not only as actors and actresses, but in many of the technical aspects that make a show work. Stage managing, set construction, properties and costumes, make-up, ushering, and box office management are some of the ways people enter the world of TAG. The Guild also sponsors many smaller events. These in- clude student directed produc- tions, scene projects from Act- ing and Directing classes, and an end-of-the-year party in honor of Seniors who have been involved in drama. TAG dedicates itself to the art of dramatics and to the individuals that make it work. Joe Hollinger Right: TAG VOLUNTEERS Andrea Wenger and Joani Schweitzer make up actors before a performance.

DISCIPLESHIP COORDINATORS oxo) nil (q 0 Discipleship Coordinators are persons who have heard Jesus’s call to “love as I love”, persons who have discovered their gifts from God for ministry and seek to exercise those gifts to call persons into relationship with Jesus as both Savior and as Lord. Discipleship Coordinators come in all kinds of packages. Some laugh with pleasure and give peace as they pray; others have quick smiles and give love as they listen. Some are intense and plan Bible studies with precision; others are loose and bring joy with their music. Some have broad shoulders where hurts can be laid; others share their quiet spirits with a noisy world. Discipleship coordinators are not something new. They have been among us since Jesus rose from the grave; we usually just call them Christians.

The organization is directed by an executive com- mittee of students and two faculty staff advisors, and is divided into eight commissions. The Y provides an excellent opportunity for students to broaden their academic worlds to include the elderly, young, or handicapped and it is a great way in which our faith in Jesus can be expressed through serv- ing others.

Two Gospel Teams were sent out, one to Kentucky, and one which travelled through Pennsylvania focus- ing on Central American con- cerns. Two Work Teams helped with clean-up and construction, one at Dia- mond Street Mennonite Church in Philadelphia, and the other at Freedom House in Richmond, Virginia. Community Outreach in- volves a great variety of activi- ties throughout the year. Pro- jects such as helping at the MCC Relief Sale, singing at Virginia Mennonite Home, cleaning and painting, and providing transportation for elderly persons were some of the ways in which students helped others in need. Saturday Adoption is an out- reach to the underprivileged children of the community. Volunteer students spend a few hours every other Saturday with their adopted child interacting with other students and children as a group, and one-on-one as well. Visits to the YMCA for swimming, attending plays on campus, and playing ball, pro- vide for a relationship which benefits both students and their adopted friends.

Because of its every-other- week publication, Weather Vane does not carry the reputa- tion of being a hot news source. However, EMC’s campus newspaper does provide writ- ing, editing, and layout practice for its staff while giving students something in their mailboxes with a perspective on campus events. Weather Vane does not offer its staff bankers’ hours. The lights in the Humanities Hall often shine well past midnight as deadlines loom closer and closer. There is some consola- tion though.

Shen 149 .. AV ■ a:- - ■ y. 150 c STUDENT LIFE 151 REGISTRATION AND FRESHMEN ORIENTATION Blazing the Trail The weekend of August 31st to September 3rd the EMC campus was in- deed a hub of activity. Students, parents, siblings and friends arrived to mark the beginning of our freshmen and transfers’ EMC experience. Saturday was spent unpacking belong- ings, attending commuter and resident meetings and workshops, touring the campus, and enjoying informal recreation. That evening everyone joined together for the chicken barbeque and the “Beginnings” kickoff. Following singing, devotional and welcoming messages from faculty and staff, over 300 balloons were released visually signifying the “beginning” for each student present. The evening continued with a meet- ing for the parents, and fun and games for students on the hill behind the Campus Cen- ter. A late night ice cream social brought the evening to a close. Sunday’s activities started with a mean- ingful Campus Worship Service; President Richard Detweiler delivered the message. On Sunday afternoon three city buses and more than six vans filled with new students, Student Orientation Staff and faculty members left the EMC campus for Fridley’s Gap at the base of the Massanutten. Groups of ten to twelve then began to make the invigorating climb to the top. Everyone used the marked trail on the Right: ORIENTATION LEADERS Ken Tadeo and Kerry Leichty help move a new student into his new home. ascent, but the descent required that each group “cut” a trail of their own. It was an ex- perience in “togetherness” as the groups scrambled over rocks, around logs, pushed through branches and scrub to find their way to the bottom. The reward? A cool waterfall and pool at the bottom for splashing and dunking! Tired and hungry the group re- turned to EMC for dinner and a movie. Quickly the orientation weekend came to a close. Meetings, an evening spent in cluster groups visiting faculty members’ homes, a reception with the EMC president, lunch- eons, workshops, and registration were final activites before the beginning of the school year. The official end to the weekend came on Tuesday evening with the EMC Revue, a variety show presented by the Student Ori- entation Staff presenting a comical view of EMC campus life. “Beginnings” was then history; the real trail-blazing, however, had just begun.

WEMC Weekend 153 HOMECOMING Gathering the Generations What do present students mean to alumni and vice versa? The Homecoming planning team answered “a lot and built the weekend of October 11-13 around the theme “Owning Our Past to Build the Future.” For the first time students joined the planning committee to brainstorm ways that students could get acquainted with people of the “past” who could help them build their futures, while also creating opportunities for alumni to become reacquainted. Following Friday’s Alumni field hockey and basketball games and a chicken barbeque dinner, faculty, alumni, and students crowded the gym for a carnival-complete with clowns, balloons, booths, and prizes. Departments and organizations displayed in colorful and crea- tive forms what’s new at EMC. Live performers provided music while suited athletes invited Loyal Royals to their annual Saturday morning breakfast and all fair- goers had a marvelous opportunity to run into anybody. Saturday featured reunions, the annual banquet, and a concert by the music depart- ment faculty. Sunday morning’s worship service looked less at the present and focused more on leaders of the past who have influenced the futures of many alumni. The message was given by Professor Emeritus of Biology Daniel Suter answering the question “Why Did I Do It?” Also during that service two EMC buildings were named in tribute to two persons for their devotion to EMC’s future. The library was named for Sadie A. Hartzler, EMC’s first full-time librarian; the Chapel- Auditorium for C. K. Lehman, EMC's first dean.

CELEBRATION Where Two Celebration this year, as in past years, was held Sunday nights in the Discipleship Center. The typical Celebration hour in- cluded informal singing, prayer, and a speaker, often a student. Attendance varied from fifty to one hundred people. These student-led gatherings provided a time for worship and praise, for informal fellowship, and a chance to slow down, Or Three... reflect on the past week and prepare for the week ahead. After sharing concerns and joys from life on campus, from family and friends, and from the larger world, there was a time for prayer. It was exciting to see God's active presence where two or more are gathered in His name. Craig Snider CELEBRATION PARTICIPANTS worship together. Celebration 155 TALENT SHOW Unearthing Talent At Eastern Mennonite College, where buzzwords like “cross-cultural,” “commu- nity,” and “perspective” are pomulgated and promptly pummeled to exhaustion, what bet- ter example of a bottom line interfacing sce- nario than the reinstatement of an all-school talent show after several years’ absence. Saturday night, September 28, of Parents' Weekend was the occasion, Lehman Audi- torium the setting, faculty staff and students the participants, and nearly one thousand spectators the recipients of music, mirth, pundemonium and even a few serious inter- ludes. Hosting an EMC talent show is no laugh- ing matter. The audience encompasses such a wide cast of types from prudish puritans who find double meanings in every- thing said and done to loyal supporters to self-appointed hecklers who try anything to upstage you but would never be caught dead on stage. Of the six or so shows I've worked with over the years at EMC, this was the most rewarding for several reasons: -Special effort was made to include more faculty and staff, and a fair number got involved. -The audience caught the spirit of the even- ing early on, and good vibes reverberated between stage and pews. -There was a good mix of comedy and more reflective material, music, and spoken word. And we only ran 20 minutes over our allotted hour and a half! I never fail to marvel at the amount of first- rate talent on a campus the size of EMC, and I’m sure we only scratch the surface at an event like this. I admit it-l enjoyed being part of the skeleton crew that helped to resurrect the EMC talent show. To allow it to die now would be a grave mistake.

Hjpssofitr ACTIVISTS Faith With Action It can hardly be said that the apathy which the fall issues of the Weather Vane ex- pressed concern over was prevalent in the spring semester. Stimulated by the ex- periences of those who returned from the Central America semester and under the patronage of Peace Fellowship, an active group of students concerned about peace issues in Central America emerged. This group joined the national Pledge of Resis- tance organization and had some ties with the local affinity group of the POR as well. The emphasis of this group was action, especially concerning the imminent vote in Congress to send aid to the contra forces in Nicaragua. Group activities included: phon- ing and writing to Congresspersons, a demonstration on Court Square followed by a three day round-the-clock vigil, planning to do civil disobedience if the vote went through, an all night prayer vigil, a fast day, and a clothing drive and benefit supper for Salvadoran refugees. The challenge for all involved was to incorporate faith with action while seeking to understand other points of view.

Lecture Arts 163 FALL DRAMA Dealing with Death Death-a word that can evoke more thoughts, theories, and feelings than almost any other word. In time, death is something we all must face, and yet we run, we deny, we fight, we cry. To go on living we call forth some degree of acceptance of death and perhaps we allow the truth to set us free. Don Shenk, in his Director’s notes, used the preceding thoughts to set the tone for the November 13-16 production of Tad Mosel’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, All the Way Home. Based upon James Agee’s A Death in the Family, this play was the first entry the EMC Theatre Arts Guild has made in the American College Theatre Festival. The action takes place in Knoxville, Tennessee during a four day period in 1915 while Europe is at war. Two large extended families (the cast numbered eighteen) are unexpectedly forced to deal with “a death in the family.” Jay, Mary, and Rufus Follet, played by Stan Swartz, Lori Hartman, and Joel Yoder respectively, are a warm caring family that has successfully conquered alcoholism but continues to argue over theology and child-rearing. The humorous squabbles over a new hat or when Rufus will learn the facts of life seem futile and tragic compared with Jay’s sudden death. Their tragedy is balanced by a marvelous cast of supporting characters who consider with them and the audience the reality of death.

Acting like children-that was the challenge facing this Spring’s Theatre Arts Guild production, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. A gamut of emotions from kite- frustration to blanket-adoration, but most of all innocence was required in fleshing out Charles Schultz’s beloved “Peanuts” char- acters on stage. Under the inspired guidance of head theatre honcho Don Shenk and music dir- ector Marge Maust, the cast of six assem- bled the acting, singing, and dance elements of the musical in only six weeks of rehear- sals. Additionally, a top notch instrumental combo, an ace squad of Techies” (lighting, props, and sound effects people), and the work of stage, costume, and make-up per- sonnel were indispensible in creating the ex- citement of Charlie Broivn. Highlights for both the cast and the audience included: Charlie Brown’s (Nevin Bender) giant peanut butter sandwich, Linus’(Joe Hollinger) graceful blanket dance, Lucy’s (Kendra King) heartbreaking “crabbiness survey”, Patty (Mertie Armes) and Snoopy’s (Lee Eshleman) rabbit chas- ing through the audience, and Snoopy’s daz- zling “Suppertime” number, which left Lee Eshleman so exhausted that he twice be- came lost in the side curtains after the lights went down and required assistance getting off stage. After the last performance on March 1, the cast celebrated with large quantities of party snacks, skits by various members of the cast and crew depicting exaggerated versions of minor performance goofs, and reminiscing. Images and lines from Chuck will linger in the EMC memory for a long time; I’ll certainly never forget Linus’ wisdom that the best part about a newspaper is that you don’t have to dial it. Besides “two kinds of ice cream”, “learning to whistle”, and “sharing a sand- wich”, happiness is certainly the satisfaction of a drama well done.

TURNING TO VIOLENCE, Jerry tries to infuriate Peter as a part of his bizarre suicidal plans. WINTER DRAMA What Happened at the Zoo The January 16-18 production of Edward Albee's riveting two-man play “The Zoo Story” was the brainchild of Joe Hollinger and Kerry Jantzi, both experienced EMC student actors. Besides playing the roles of Jerry (Jantzi) and Peter (Hollinger), they directed, planned lighting and costumes, and organized the miscellaneous details which go into staging a drama. The play was given on the hill in the Discipleship Center with seating on four sides. Although it played to relatively small audiences, it received strong positive response from the commu- nity, including an unusually friendly review in the Daily News Record. Here’s what the actors had to say about this difficult and gripping modern drama: “The Zoo Story” is not easy to understand, but this is necessary. The play is about people and relation- ships, which are also not easy to under- stand. The two people presented can be put into distinct and common categories. Peter is a successful, conformist businessman, very much an accepted member of society. Jerry is a lonely, non-comformist drifter, alienated from society. When these people come together and try to reach each other, we are shown what Albee thinks of this society. And they finally do reach each other, in the only way that Jerry feels they can. Jerry says that he wanted “to find out the way people exist with animals, and the way animals exist with each other, and with people, too.” The problem we are presented with is deciding whether people are people or whether people are animals. That is also difficult to understand in a violent and cold society, where people can so easily become trapped in their own little cages of alienation and frustration. When we can understand that, we realize that something must be done about it. And that is what happened at the zoo. quote: Joe Hollinger, Kerry Jantzi.

Below: MIKE KING’S STORY raised student awareness of handicapped persons disabilities-and extraordinary abilities. DISABILITY AWARENESS DAYS Becoming Aware of the Challenge This year EMC’s annual Disability Awareness Days were held from Wednes- day, October 30 to Friday, November 1. Designed to raise public awareness about the problems that the disabled face and to highlight their many gifts, the Awareness Days gave EMC students and faculty a chance to interact with a number of disabled persons. The activities began during Wednesday's chapel assembly. Three disabled persons, Mary Ann Cashette, Becky Meser, and Cheryl Hoeppner, spoke on the theme of “My Adjustment to My Disability.” On Friday EMC hosted several students from nearby Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center. These visitors shared in various classes during the day. The events culminated on Friday evening with a talk by Mike King, who has become nationally known for his 5400 mile trek from Fairbanks, Alaska to Washington, DC by wheelchair. Mike, who is paralyzed from the waist down as a result of a motorcycle accident, spoke on “The Challenge of a Lifetime”, telling the story of his cross- country trip. Afterwards a wheelchair basket- ball game was held between Woodrow Wil- son Rehabilitation Center students and a team of EMC students and faculty. The Disability Awareness Days helped us to realize how much the disabled have to offer to individuals, to the church, and to society. Mike Martin Disability Awareness Days 167 SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS WEEKS Considering the Center For one week in the Fall and in the Spring the campus community is called to particu- larly focus on spiritual life development. Guest ministers speak in three extended chapel services, lead more informal gather- ings in dorms in the evenings, and are available for counseling with students. EMC Director of Counseling Services Nancy Sider and her husband Duane, a member of the pastoral team at Community Mennonite Church in Harrisonburg, led the September 23-27 Spiritual Emphasis Week. Their provocative talks discussed hard questions: “We claim that God is all power- ful, yet there are frequent, almost daily situations in which God’s power seems in- effective or simply absent. If in the worst of times God will not exert His power to make things right, do we rightly trust that God is in control? What does it in fact mean to say that God holds the center?” By examining qualities of human love-its requirements of individuality, transforma- tion, and freedom, they suggested that God’s activity in the world should not be thought of in terms of power, but in terms of love. “Just as Jesus embodied in perfection the individual, transforming, freeing love of God for the world, so we are called, even in our imperfection, to minister the love of God in the world and in so doing, bring about His purposes,” proposed the Siders. Nightly dorm meetings focused on loving ourselves, our parents, and peers, and in- cluded singing led by Duane and Nancy. They also provided special music as a part of the chapel worship services. John Ehst, pastor of Deep Run Mennonite Church in Perkasie, PA, also pursued the topic of understanding how God meets us and how we can respond in obedience to that call. During the week of March 17-21, Ehst emphasized that “the way of the Lamb is the way to growth and victory for the church today.” In a Tuesday evening seminar, Ehst met with a group of about twenty students to dis- cuss ordering one’s inner life. Over supper in the East dining room, he presented thoughts on tools for prayer and meditation. Ann Landis DURING A DORM MEETING in Northlawn, Duane and Nancy Sider lead group singing.

After the flood waters receded, the total damage was assessed at over seven hundred million dollars in Virginia alone, and at least an additional two hundred million dollars in West Virginia. By Wednesday, No- vember 13, the federal government had de- clared thirty-eight locali- ties as “disaster areas.” In some places the water crested over twenty-five feet above flood stage, washing away bridges, roads, houses and any- thing else which stood in its path. An estimated 6400 residences were damaged or destroyed, leaving thousands homeless. Even before the flood waters had receded, however, Mennonite Disaster Service had begun to call for and organize cleanup crews, and as the flooding ebbed volunteers quick- ly went to work. Eastern Mennonite College was no exception. Over a hundred students responded to the call for workers and offered their services for cleanup on Saturday, November 9. After rising at 6:30 in the morning for breakfast, the students met at the Virginia Conference Center where they split up into smaller groups, each traveling to a different flood-damaged area to help out in the local cleanup effort. Students did everything from sweeping water out of basements to sorting out various ob- jects ruined by the flood. One volunteer com- mented, “It was right that we as Christians should help others-this was an excellent opportunity to show that we care.” The help did not stop there. On Tuesday, November 12, several vanloads of students traveled to Franklin, West Virginia to gather up some of the thou- sands of dead poultry and cattle that had per- ished in the flood. Over two thousand turkeys were disposed of in a memorable day of work which included retrieving the deceased birds from trees. Another van also traveled to help the relief effort in the ravaged town of Peters- burg. Several students later gave up weekends to participate in an extended cleanup project in West Virginia.

A Witness I had the privilege of participat- ing in two Mennonite Disaster Service “work days” and I will never forget the many memorable moments I experienced. I will remember the terrible destruc- tion the flood caused-the gutted buildings, the washed-out bridges and roads, and the decimated house trailers. The sight of a tractor trailer wrapped around a tree and an entire feed mill completely washed away are scenes that particularly come to mind. I will remember the tons of mud, with the color and con- sistency of melted chocolate, that covered everything and required backbreaking labor to remove. But even more than the destruc- tion, I will remember the strength and courage of the flood victims, and their gratefulness for our assistance. They were people who had lost everything and yet they still had the spirit to remain optimistic despite their troubles. And, most of all, I will recall all of the people who sacrificed their time and energy to help those in need. It was amazing to see the impact they had on people, regar- dless of the jobs they performed. Their willingness to get wet and muddy and have a good time doing it for the simple reason of helping others was a profound witness to everyone. I feel the volunteers gained as much from their experiences as the people they were helping. I know I never received as many warm and heartfelt “thank y’alls” in my life, and I never felt better at the end of the day.

Below: INTRAMURAL COMMITTEE MEMBERS Andy Smith and Kendra King find that sticking together is one way to stay sane on the job. INTRAMURALS Energetic Outlets She played sports in high school but doesn’t have time in college; daily, she fights that unfulfilled competitive urge. Where can she find an outlet? He has trouble carrying his cafeteria tray with finesse, but he loves horsing around with groups of similarly clum- sy people. Is there a place at EMC for that to happen? Indeed, provision has been made: intra- murals. The Intramural Committee, a divi- sion of Student Actvities, organized eight outlets for retired high school athletes, non- athletes, and anyone else seeking physical activity and interaction with other students. As in other years, the committee cursed rainy intramural soccer days and wrangled with sports teams over gym schedules sometimes having to schedule games as late as midnight. But they ameliorated the “Where’s the ref?” frustration of other years by instituting pay for refs; two dollars a game worked well for increasing accountability. And they generated a high rate of participa- tion, provided spectators almost nightly study breaks, and far exceeded the call of duty juggling ladders and game times for players’ convenience. The fall outlets were women’s and men’s soccer and men’s football. Mim Zehr’s women’s soccer team finally prevailed as the champion of the four teams competing. The “Frat House” was the victor of the ten men’s soccer teams. Of the ten football teams parti- cipating, Todd Bolton’s off-campus team took the crown. Winter sports offered were women's volleyball with ten teams competing and Kendra King’s team proving hardest to beat. Co-ed volleyball involved nine A-league teams and ten B-league. Rick Erb's team won the A division, Trish Hostetler’s the B. Men’s and women’s basketball attracted the most participants. In the men’s A-league, the Billy LeapTHm Lind team came out on top. In the B-league, the winning team was captained by Kent Widrick. Carrie Martin’s team emerged the women’s bracket winner. But of course, winning isn’t everything- especially in intramurals.

Could a team replacing eight of last year’s eleven starters find reason to cheer? Absolutely. Under the leadership of Sandy Brownscombe, this year’s ODAC Coach of the Year, the team built a 10-6 record topped with the ODAC Championship crown. The Lady Royals hammered out conference wins all season, losing regular season con- ference games only to Lynch- burg, ranked 17th in the nation NCAA Division III, and to Sweet Briar, ranked at 20th. However, the opposition’s impressive statistics didn’t stop the Royals from improving their own threat. The team gave up only 16 goals the entire season — 13 in the first 6 games and only 3 in the final 10 games. It was to that “stick-to-it-tiveness that Brownscombe credits their tournament success. In the tournament, they first shut out Randolph Macon, then for the first time in 18 straight match-ups, beat Lynchburg to advance to the final game. On the astroturf at Virginia Tech, the Lady Royals defeated Sweet Briar to take the title. “It was exciting to end a career winning the ODAC, said Senior Linda Burkhart. Burkhart was named ODAC Player of the Year as well as All- South Region and All-American Honorable Mention. Ann Wenger made All-South Region Honorable Mention, and five piayerr were chosen for the 1 st and 2na All-Tournament Teams in the ODAC. “I could try to pick out heroes, said Browns- combe, reflecting on her win- ning team, “but everyone did her job.” And that meant cheers for Royals’ field hockey.

Field Hockey 179 SOCCER Playing Hard Despite It All Irony colored the Royals’ 3-9- 4 soccer season. Why did they win some games they were supposed to lose? And why did they lose or tie some games they should have won? And why couldn’t being a strong defen- sive team win games? Despite struggling with the frustration of such unanswerable questions, the team still found some mo- ments of satisfaction in their enigmatic season. For instance, for the third con- secutive year, in the regular season the Royals defeated the team which went on to become the Conference champions. Not only was there satisfaction in knowing they could beat Roanoke 3-2, there was addi- tional pleasure in being the only team in the conference to do so. On an away trip to Goshen, the team proved their ability again, scoring one more than Goshen in an overtime game. They also tied Hesston on the same trip, making EMC the un- official Mennonite college champion. Finally, Coach Byron Shenk found satisfaction in seeing a group of players, many new to each other, playing well together by the end of the season. “A coach anticipates that happening,” commented Shenk, “but sometimes it doesn't!” Personal honors went to Phil Landes and Todd Shenk, both being chosen to the All-ODAC and All-Western VISA Teams. In addition, Landes was elected to the All-Region Team.

Instead, the climate of the season was more relaxed so that personal improvement could be the primary goal. In early meets, Todd Kayal was the Royals’ strongest run- ner; Phil Yoder improved to be- come the most competitive in later meets. In addition, Todd Weaver, Doug Shenk, and Freshmen Curt Yoder, Brad Yo- der, and Paul Payne worked hard to complete the team ef- fort. Kayal received an All-State honor, placing 10th at the State Division II and III meet. Two women ran with the men’s team, Patty King and Lori Umble.

Nevertheless, the Lady Royals played as though they might have known and wanted her final season to be a memorable one. When Kellers came to EMC seven years ago, her biggest challenge, she says, was to make the team competitive. After three years that had happened and certainly this year’s team had developed what Kellers calls “champion- ship qualities.” “They were men- tally tough, didn’t give up, focused on excellence, and worked to achieve individual and group potential.” That’s how the Royals compiled a 23-10 record with seven of those losses to non- conference nationally-ranked teams. Their only conference loss was to Bridgewater whom they faced again for the ODAC Championship. In the intense five-game match, superior physical conditioning and con- centration paid off for the Royals, who took the title for the fourth year in a row. Another reason for their successful record was the team’s depth; nine different players started at some point during the season. Though the team was balanced, key to lead- ing the attack were Jewel Lehman, Annette Grieser, and Noel King who received a number of awards. All three were chosen for the ODAC All- Tournament 1st Team. Lehman was elected to the All- Tournament team at the Juniata Classic, and was voted ODAC Player of the Year for the second year in a row. King was honored as a member of the CoSIDA Academic All-America College Division 2nd Team. In addition, Kellers received ODAC Coach of the Year, an affirmation of her leadership in their successful season. But she is quick to share the credit. “I valued the sense of support from the players. That made it fun to work with them and it made my job easier.” Ann Landis COACH KELLERS encourages her team's championship qualities. Far Left: ODAC PLAYER OF THE YEAR Jewel Lehman sets up the hit.

I CALLING FOR THE BALL INSIDE, Marian Morris looks for the bounce pass from Linda Burkhart. 186 Women’s Basketball WOMEN’S BASKETBALL A Definition of Dynasty Coach Sandy Brownscombe knows her dictionary. She describes the Women’s Basket- ball team as a “dynasty.” And Websters describes a dynasty as “a succession of rulers, members of the same family.” Led by five key Seniors, but stacked with underclassmen talent, the Royals developed a family feeling and prepared for the succession of rule during their impressive 18-8 season. 11 Iri- The season began with three tough losses, two at the Menno Classic where Linda Burkhart and Sue Blauch were chosen for the All-Classic Team. From there, however, the team took off on a winning streak, beating both conference and non-con- ference teams. As usual, Roanoke and Emory and Henry became the teams to watch out for in the ODAC. The season resulted in an emotionally-charged final championship match-up be- tween EMC and Roanoke. Though the aggressive game ended with an overtime score of 63-65, the enthusiastic fans who had travelled to the Salem Civic Center were by no means ashamed. “Even though the score said we lost,” explained Senior Deana Moren, “I felt like it was our biggest win of the season. We did everything we could mentally and courage- ously to overcome the physical resistance.” The Royals claimed numer- ous ODAC awards. Deana AGAINST GENEVA, Ann Wenger skies for two points. Later, her shot at the final buzzer sent the Royals to the NCCAA National Tournament. Moren was named Player of the Year,and along with Linda Burkhart made All-ODAC 1st Team; Marian Morris made the 2nd Team. Preceding ODACs, the women had beaten Geneva College to become the NCCAA Eastern District Champs. Burkhart, Moren, and Morris were honored again on the All- Tournament Team; in addition, Moren and Burkhart also made the All-District Team, and Brownscombe was elected Coach of the Year. As District champs, the women left for Ohio to compete in the NCCAA National Tourna- ment. There Moren passed the 1000 point mark and joined the National All-Tournament team. Winning the final game by one point gave the Royals 7th place, but more than that, it symbo- lized to Brownscombe the idea of her team as a dynasty. “It was a total team effort,” she says. Most of the starting Seniors fouled out as the intense game progressed, putting the respon- sibility to win into the hands of next year’s rulers-and they proved that they would carry on the family tradition.

MEN’S BASKETBALL Blending Together “Good chemistry.” According to Coach Sherman Eberly, that's what made for a season of “good basketball. The team, strengthened by a number of capable scorers and sparked by Senior standout Leonard Dow, found quite a few reasons to be satisfied with their 14-13 season-their feeling of unity being one of the most fulfilling. “These guys enjoyed each other, enjoyed pushing each other, and making each other better,” reflected Eberly. “When you’re working hard but losing close games, it’s relationships and coming together that make it worthwhile.” Though the team didn’t achieve their number one goal, winning the ODAC, they did have some satisfying ODAC wins, especially beating Roa- noke for the first time ever by 23 points. Winning away at cross- town rival Bridgewater in front of an enthusiastic packed house was also a highlight. Non-conference tourna- ments were the arena for more success. The men opened their % A. season with first place in the Mennonite Classic at Goshen, played well in The King’s College Tournament though they took second, and wrapped up their season with a semi-final win in the NCCAA District Tournament. Leonard Dow, considered the most outstanding all-around player in EMC’s history, ended his Senior season with a record number of points (2192) and rebounds (1100). He, along with Carl Whetzel, were elected to the All-Classic team at Goshen and the All-Tournament team at King’s. Dow was 1st Team ODAC for the fourth straight year and Division III South- Atlantic All-District 2nd Team. Whetzel, Senior Fred “Doc” Crawford, and Dow made the NCCAA All-District Team; Dow, in addition, made 1st Team All- American NCCAA. Ann Landis FREE THROW SHOOTING proved to be an inconsistency for this year's Royals, who shot 71% from the charity stripe.

TRACK AND FIELD Taking Winning Personally Coach Byron Shenk didn’t keep score. “I knew we would never win a meet. With the smallest group we've had in the last ten years, we could never fill all the events.” In most of their eleven meets (the longest schedule ever), the Royals took a couple firsts and a few fourths, fifths, and sixths. So Shenk chose to focus not on points but on individual improvement, and in those numbers the team found satisfaction. “Nearly every athlete improved his or her personal record,” Shenk praised. Nine women competed in track events with Karen Martin occasionally joining the team to perform well in the javelin and long jump. In the 100, 200, and 400 meters, Gretchen McCue was top sprinter. Jenny Kulp set a new school record in the 800 meters, as did the mile relay team-Trish Hostetter, Regina Lutz, Gretchen McCue, and Donna Harnish. Strong competitors in the distance events were Lori Umble, Karen Shenk, and Sarah Mattocks. In men’s track events, Kevin Schwartz and Kirby Kiem filled the short distance events while Curtis Yoder and strong competitor Phil Yoder ran the 1500 and 5000 meter events. Steve Martin’s performance was unfortunately hindered by injuries. On the field, Phil Landes stood out throughout the season in javelin throwing. His 201 foot 6 inch throw set a new school record and earned him All-American status in the NCAA Division III. At the Divi- sion III National meet Landes placed eighth. So the team didn’t have a win- ning record. Coach Shenk was still encouraged about the fu- ture. “We’re making an effort to recruit more students with track experience so our numbers will be greater next year. Plus there are no Seniors on this squad and they are returning with enthusiasm.” Not to mention im- proved performances, this season’s winning records.

SOFTBALL You Gotta Like It The best overall record in EMC softball history, six new personal records, seven strong newcomers, and a good time. How would Coach John Den- linger describe this year’s softball season? His players would expect to hear his usual affirmative comment: “You gotta like it!” Seven returning players, all upperclassmen, welcomed sev- en freshmen and Denlinger, their new coach, to a Spring of inconsistent weather but con- sistent winning. The success began with first place in EMC’s own Invitational Tournament, beating Malloy from New York, York from Pennsylvania, and a Virginia rival, Lynchburg Col- lege. And the success carried to the end with victory over James Madison University in the final games of the season, shutting out the Dukes 1-0 and 8-0. Ironically, a highlight of the season for the team came in the way of two of their losses. The Royals met Salisbury State, ranked nationally in the top ten, twice in doubleheaders. Al- though they were unable to beat Salisbury, they lost away by only 4-3 in extra innings, and by only 3-2 in a game at home. “It was exciting to play that well against a team of that caliber,” remarked Denlinger. The season also held person- al successes. Jewel Lehman tied the school record for total hits in a season at 34 and the batting average record at .466. Tina Book tied the record set last year by teammate Deana Moren for triples in a season at four. Moren broke her own school record for home runs in a season with six, as well as her old record for RBI’s, setting the new record at 27. Fellow Senior Miriam Zehr claimed the career pitching record at 28-17. Players and coaches were disappointed that arrange- ments couldn’t be made for them to take their talent to the NCCAA Tournament in New York, but “we had a successful season and a really good time together,” said Denlinger posi- tively.

Between making a few too many errors and playing a competitive schedule, they could only net five wins this season. Both upperclassmen and newcomers strengthened the team. Senior Todd Bolton was the leading batter with a .330 average and more hits than his teammates. However, Fresh- man Marty Lohr batted .400 with fewer at bats.

After being shut out by eventual ODAC champ Bridgewater Col- lege, 19-0, in their first meeting, the Royals came back just two weeks later to allow Bridge- water just seven runs while scoring five themselves.
