The college hopes to accomplish this by providing various living experiments. Whether it be residence hall, apart- ment, or house, each experiment is unique in directing and preparing stu- dents to relate to others. Freshmen require different kinds of interaction than seniors and the hous- ing staff is striving to be sensitive to these needs. This year the traditional dormitory life, provided by Pennington, Edwards, and Hobson Halls is mostly experi- enced by new students. This gives them the opportunity to meet and adjust to various personalities, as well as develop a feeling of belonging to a group. Apartments offer students greater responsibility and freedom while still promoting a more close-knit, homelike atmosphere. The uniqueness of the individual house allows for closer fellowship while lending to the free expression of personalities. These experiments provide new ways to grow together while learning mutual understanding. 14 HOUSING ( 1 ) Laundry time makes for mischief at McPhee House.

This was the question uppermost in the minds of those dauntless mariners in the eighth annual, awe-inspiring GFC Raft Race. Compelled by the prospect of an all expense paid trip to the Rhine- lander, Joel Keesecker, Marty and Warren Koch, and Steve Comfort braved salt and sea, wind and wave, to gain that coveted prize. Scott Mayfield, ASGFC Activities Director, managed to stay high and dry on a virtual oceanliner, while other intrepid sailors inched their way to the finish line on recycled refuse in hopes of capturing second place, which was free tickets to the Christmas Formal; or even third place, for a $5.00 gift certificate at the Junior Store. In the end, all those who donned water wings experienced the real terror that Noah must have felt every time he sprung a leak. - .£4 ■ 16 RAFT RACE (1) Many raft racers learned what the words sinking and sunk really mean.

RAFT RACE 17 Creative Concoctions Shuffling bodies in the darkness, tension in the air, suspense . . . then, a click is heard, a beam of light flashes through the blackness, a loud BEEP BEEP rips through the silence and the Road Runner tears across the screen, with Wile E. Coyote hot on his heels. This was just part of the 1976 GFC Halloween Party, one attraction amidst the games and the costumes; the chance to be someone other than your- self for just one night. It was apparent that creative juices had been flowing as students came in costumes that ranged from Munchkins to Mummies, con- cocted no doubt from frequent trips to thrift stores, and relics procured from closets, attics and old boxes. And so they came, some in costume and some not, to revert to childhood long enough to enjoy the delights of cotton candy, to try their luck in the game room and to watch Yosemite Sam carry on his never ending battle against Bugs Bunny. But more than that, they came to forget, at least for awhile, the pressures of homework and tests, and to take a little time out to be what we all occassionally wish we could remain — kids. 18 HALLOWEEN PARTY ( 1 ) In this, our Bicentennial Halloween, even Uncle Sam had to get into the act. (2) Scott Mayfield interviews a few of the many famous guests at the Halloween party. (3) Three beauties from Munch- kinland stay close together so they won ' t get lost.

HALLOWEEN PARTY 19 You Can Never Go Back Spoon River Anthology, the fall drama presentation, is the tale of the deceased residents of Spoon River who reconstruct their maudlin lives in that small, turn of the century, town. Directed by Darlene Graves, a cast of 16 players superbly portrayed a wide variety of characters. The effec- tiveness of a simple stage and minimal props induced the audience to become entwined in these complex personali- ties. Spoon River Anthology stands as a reminder to us that from life, we should expect the unexpected, and our plans don ' t always turn out as pre- dicted.

The Crescent turned out to be one means of closing the gap between the two groups through such innovations as The President ' s Column, publishing various survey results, and reporting of Central Committee meetings. Other projects carried out by the officers in- cluded a suggestion box in the SUB, public Central Committee meetings and one student government chapel each term. A special undertaking of the ASCGFC was the Special Projects Fund. The fund is an attempt by George Fox students to help those in financial need in a way that will fur- ther the name and message of Jesus Christ. The efforts of this year ' s student council should help establish a prece- dent for better communication in the future. 5 ASCGFC OFFICERS 23 (1) Ron Tuning and Melinda McCor- mick make their grand entrance down the Pennington stairway.

This year, open dorms were ar- ranged so that the gentlemen would be able to call for the ladies at their doors. Opening with a reception in Pennington Lobby, the guests were served egg-nog and cookies allowing for a chance to socialize. A delicious dinner of Poulet a la Kiev served by waiters and waitresses induced those present to forget the pressure of school and enjoy the splen- dour of the evening. The Ralph Fry Family singers, poetry reading and a drama presentation all set the atmos- phere for this gala affair. The new motif of the commons, the delightful entertainment and excellent cuisine all combined to create an event that was worth getting dressed up for. 7 9 8 CHRISTMAS BANQUET 25 Den Of Antiquity The Play of Daniel is a fully de- veloped example of an art form which is almost unknown to the modern world: liturgical drama. This art form was used primarily in religious wor- ship. This unique production attempted to broaden the range of performance given by Music Theatre through this selection from our dramatic heritage. Among the difficulties faced by the Music Theatre class in the staging of this 13th century drama was the trans- lation of the drama from Latin to English. The cast under the direction of Dwayne Kroening succeeded in re- creating the historical atmosphere for this difficult production. CAST . . . .

DANIEL 27 Medium of Music It was an active year for vocal music, beginning with the hilarious music comedy night, presented by music faculty and students. The year continued with the 140-voice Oratorio Choir under the direction of Dr. Dennis Hagen successfully performing Brahms ' Requiem, a demanding and strenuous work. The New Vision Singers and A Cappella Choir were the two vocal ensembles that represented George Fox this year. The New Vision Sing- ers presented a program of contempor- ary Christian music to numerous area churches, while the A Cappella Choir, with a repertoire including classical as well as contemporary arrangements, traveled throughout the states of Washington and Oregon. Both were directed by Dr. Jerry Friesen. These groups utilized retreats to gain that extra polish needed for superior quality and also for fellow- ship for spiritual unity. Each concert was given with the desire to bring glory to God thrugh the medium of music. 28 MUSIC 4 6 (1) Pete Nordquist and Chris Fitch on board the USS Missouri in Bremerton Harbor on choir tour.

The band holds three concerts on campus during the year, but the big- gest concerts are performed on tours. During Spring Break, the band travel- ed to southern California, playing in churches and at the Disneyland GFC dinner. Playing in a band festival in Salem for two days also gave the members an opportunity to play under different directors and to learn from other bands. One of the most beneficial times for the band is the Annual Band Retreat which is usually held shortly after school starts in the fall. It gives mem- bers a chance to practice and grow together spiritually, giving them a spirit of unity. 32 MUSIC (1) Clyde Thomas helps load music stands as the band prepares to leave for California on tour.

Many were apprehensive about the performance of a Rock Musical on campus, but after viewing the show, all fears were charmed away. Using clowns to portray Jesus and His Disciples had been considered by some to be a near mockery, but the child-like innocence and faith depicted through the characters clearly demon- strated one of the chief maxims of the Gospel. Music and choreography were defi- nite highlights as an expression of joy in the first act. Yet, as the Crucifixion drew nigh in the second half, all pres- ent were drawn into the passion of Jesus ' final days. The actual enactment of the Resur- rection in the final scene, which was merely implied in the original version, helped to communicate the real hope of Christianity. 36 GODSPELL The popularity of the production was apparent through the response of sellout crowds and the necessity of a repeat performance. The most impor- tant factor contributing to GodspelPs success, however, was the love of the Lord so obviously shining through the actors. (1) Lori Teachout is obviously passing on vital information to the anxious ears of Roger Morris. (2) Lon Thornburg sings of his bountiful blessings from the Lord in ALL GOOD GIFTS. (3) Cindy Langley and Debbie Dominy sing of staying close to Jesus as Jesse Pen- noyer makes a final attempt to draw Craig Mclndoo back to him. (4) Wendy Martin admonishes Craig Mclndoo to TURN BACK O MAN. (5) The members of the group caution the world to forswear their foolish ways and to rejuvenate their faith. (6) Jesse Pen- noyer cries out a warning against hypoc- risy to the Pharisees — Roger Morris, Sarah Huffman and Jon Chandler. (7) Jesse Pennoyer sings of how God can fulfill all of life ' s needs. GODSPELL 37 Last Hurrah There will never be another home- coming. At least not in Hester Gym- nasium. The last one, however, went smoothly beginning Friday evening with the coronation of Freshman Queen Chris Pike. The weekend of events continued as Saturday ' s alumni chapel unveiled a new tradition at GFC with Dr. Friesen forming an alumni choir to sing at the chapel. The Bruins also did their part to make the weekend a total success for the school by defeating Lewis and Clark State, of Idaho. Following the game, Activities once again came through by sponsoring a pizza feed for all those involved in the Homecoming activities to climax an enjoyable weekend. 38 HOMECOMING 3 (1) The 1977 Homecoming Court: Sophomore Princess Lynn Graham, es- cort Jerry Barnick; Basketball Princess Janice Camp, escort Dave Adrian; Fresh- man Queen Cris Pike, escort Craig Rob- erts; Junior Princess Claudia Vick, escort David LeRud; Senior Princess Joni Frank, escort Steve Rucker.

HOMECOMING 39 Glass Breaks So Easily A collection of glass animals may seem an unlikely subject to base a play on, but The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams is truly a moving story that makes a significant state- ment. As usual, the excellent acting, props, and effects contributed to the over all success of the production. Sue Millikan superbly portrayed Laura Wingfield, a crippled young woman who has with- drawn into her own world of fantasy after having tried and failed at several different endeavors for lack of confi- dence. The life of frustration and futil- ity of her brother, Tom Wingfield, was played with sensitivity and believability by Ron Boschult. The concerned, sometimes nagging character of Aman- da Wingfield, the mother, was truly captured by Debbie Goins; and Mike Lehman beautifully enacted the part of Jim O ' Connor, the intelligent, ambi- tious gentleman caller who encour- aged Laura to make something of her- self and helped instill some confidence in her. 40 GLASS MENAGERIE ;1 Each of these characters have their own escapes from reality. For Tom, it is his writing, the movies, dreams of adventure, and sometimes the bottle. For Amanda, it is the memories of the life she once lived, her youth, her beauty and her many loves. Jim has hopes for the future and its possibili- ties. And Laura? She has the fantasy world of her glass collection. But don ' t we each have our own Glass Mena- gerie ? Just remember, Glass breaks so easily, no matter how careful you are. (1) Amanda Wingfield, played by Debbie Goins, makes a nuisance of herself soli- citing for magazine subscriptions. (2) Sue Millikan as Laura Wingfield escapes into the secure world of her Glass Menagerie as she waits, in apprehension for the gentleman caller to arrive.

A very slow start hampered the entire process, but mostly created problems for the pho- tographers. Because specific assign- ments were not made at first, they just took pictures of anything and every- thing. As the year wore on, editor Cindy Whitaker learned to get tougher after the staff missed a deadline. She sent notes to each members box each week to remind them of staff meetings and to tell them to get with it. Although some of the staff dropped out, a good crew still remained to paste up and help with all the little details that are so important in a year- book. In spite of it all, they did their best and usually had a good time doing it. Radical Changes GFC ' s student newspaper, the Cres- cent, underwent some notable changes under the direction of editor Dan Berggren when it changed its general news policy to a more campus-orient- ed newspaper again. The staff includ- ed Jon Chandler, Dan Hoffman, Bern Dowling, Mari Eisenbruch, Sue Milli- kan, Celeste Knight, Don Livingston, Rob Claiborne and contributions from many other interested and concerned students. Berggren became noted for his opinionated often pugnacious editorials directed largely at internal campus problems, and he incurred both wrath and admiration for his attempts. Besides being a commentary on the GFC community and voice of the stu- dents, the Crescent provided young journalists a practical experience in the area of newspaper publication. ( 1 ) Sue Millikan spends some time doing a final check on her layout for the sports page. (2) Pasting up the front page of the Crescent is editor, Dan Berggren. (3) Whatdya ' mean mud pies? Dan Berggren seems to be affronted by an onlooker, as he comes up with yet another clay creation at a booth at the May Day carnival. Just one of his many talents. (4) Mari Eisenbruch does a little background research before writing an article for the Crescent. 43 Easy Christian Listening After working half the year in their old office in the S UB the school radio, KGFC, found a new home in Brough- er Hall. The new facilities include such luxuries as a sound proof booth for the announcer and a larger record room which allows for better organiza- tion. With a new emphasis on easy Christian listening, manager Roy Gathercoal limited the part-time DJ ' s to gospel music, although a few of the more daring broadcasters managed to relate practically any kind of music to the public in a gospel sense, when they tried hard enough. Most of the disc jockeys were inex- perienced in their field, but were forc- ed by lack of time to learn quickly. Each year the station grows a little more and the future sees KGFC go- ing FM and being heard all over Newberg. ( 1 ) Radio station manager Roy Gather- coal, announces album winners at the KGFC open house held in the station ' s new facilities in Brougher Hall.

(4) Kathy Norton served as program director this year for the radio station ' s expanded production schedule. Revived Tradition The recently completed Newberg Free Methodist Church provided the backdrop for the well-attended Spring Formal, the first to be held in recent years. The evening, planned by Scott Mayfield as his last event as Student Activities Director, began with a tour of the church sanctuary, followed by an excellent SAGA buffet dinner and a poetry selection by Dr. Roberts. Jim Bolden, a favorite with stu- dents, showed a slide presentation, as well as singing a repertoire of Gospel soul with a backup group composed of Roger and Doug Wilhite and Tim Magee, for the evening ' s entertain- ment. Due to the good turn out of in- dividuals, as well as couples, the eve- ning was a success and the revived tradition may well continue in the future.

SPRING FORMAL 45 Rites of Spring The King and Queen ' s Brunch in honor of King Bob Johnson and Queen Pam Sturzinger, opened the 1977 Scottish May Day festivities. Carnival games reminiscent of child- hood along with popcorn, cotton candy and snow cones added to the carefree atmosphere of spring. Strains from a bagpipe heralded the beginning of various traditional Scot- tish events including pole throw, wrestling and a pie eating contest. The weather was also very coopera- tive for the festivities this year. The Queen ' s coronation went without a hitch and the traditional winding of the Maypole had its usual mix ups, but made for a colorful joyous cele- bration. Bruins contributed to the success of the day by finishing the various sport- ing events with flying colors. The men ' s track team trounced University of Puget Sound and the women ' s soft- ball team won by one run over Uni- versity of Oregon. On the lighter side, a fencing demonstration and a Tug-O- War allowed for spectator participa- tion, including faculty and administra- tion. A barbeque on the lawn outside the Commons featured the singing group, Perelandra and was a relaxing close to the afternoon celebrations. 46 MAY DAY (1) Janell Almquist and Joanne Broder- son sculpt snow cones for many May Day participants, in one of the carnival booths.

(5) Pete Nordquist and Cris Fitch pause for a quick picture be- fore winding the Maypole. MAY DAY 47 Complications Conquered The Broadway musical Showboat was selected as the 1977 Music Theater Spring production. Show- boat was first produced in 1927 and was a major breakthrough on the musical stage, in that it attempted to combine musical verse with a signifi- cant literary work. The controversial novel from which it was taken touch- ed on such subjects as interracial mar- riage and the plight of the black caught in slavery. The musical score and lyrics were written by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, and included such memorable songs as OF Man River, Only Make Believe and Can ' t Help Lovin ' Dat Man. Rehearsals were hampered by ill- ness and fatigue throughout the pro- duction, but prayers for sound voices and clear heads were answered by the opening curtain, and all performances were lauded. In spite of the strain of long and demanding hours needed to put on a production of this magnitude, all were a little sad to see it end and many will continue to sacrifice their already pre- cious time and energy to future dra- matic productions.

Under construction on campus were new facilities totaling more than $4.3 million. The Herbert C. Hoover Academic Building was built adjacent to Wood- Mar Hall, housing offices of the reg- istrar, admissions and the dean. The Howard E. Kershner Center of Busi- ness Economics is also located in the building. On the northeast side of the campus is the new Coleman H. Wheeler Sports Center, the college ' s largest building. It contains the James and Lyla Miller Gymnasium, three basketball courts, weight rooms, physical education classrooms, and administrative and faculty offices. Two new buildings were erected adjacent to the existing Hobson Hall, expanding the residential complex to include a central lobby and two wings of residence halls, which will make the complex co-ed. The residential proj- ect becomes the largest on the George Fox Campus. As the year closed, the college ' s Board of Trustees authorized prelimi- nary plans for an additional residence hall, and the first step toward con- struction of a new Fine Arts Center was begun with demolition of the in- terior of Hester Gymnasium.

Graduation Returns to Campus Commencement activities returned to the facilities of George Fox College after many years absence, as the 104 members of the Class of 1977 partici- pated in ceremonies held for the first time in the new Coleman Whe eler Sports Center. The first use of the recently completed building combined with the anticipation of receiving the sheepskin to make May 28 a special day for the graduates. Reverend Robert Bletscher deliver- ed the Baccalaureate address To Serve the Present Age, and encour- aged members of the class to stand in the gap, fulfilling God ' s purpose for their lives through service in all walks of life. ( 1 ) Senior Class President Jon Bletscher presents Dr. Mooneyham with the senior gift designated for World Vision. (2) Dwayne Kroening and Dave LeRud share during Baccalaureate. (3) Susan Allen and Ron Boschult in Senior Chapel. The president of World Vision In- ternational, Dr. W. Stanley Mooney- ham, spoke to the large gathering of family and friends during the after- noon Commencement - service. The head of the world-wide missions or- ganizatio n spoke on Living and Serv- ing in a High Risk World, and stress- ed the importance and danger of the fully committed Christian life, as it stands in conflict with the modern world. Mooneyham ' s statements were evidenced by accounts of the deaths of many missionaries, killed while serving God and helping others. Senior Class President, Jon Blet- scher, in his response, credited parents and faculty for enabling graduates to reach this point. 2 52 GRADUATION ( 1 ) Dr. Le Shana congratulates graduate Debbie Freeman.

GRADUATION 53 GROW ING SUCCESS m GROWING SUCCESS 55 Leg Straining This year ' s dry fall and winter kept the cross-country team from slopping and splashing through mud and pud- dles, providing a training atmosphere that led each man to superior improve- ment. The determined runners pushed their bodies through hours and miles of leg straining practice, united by a com- mon drive of improvement and fulfill- ment of goals. Coach Rich Allen pro- vided strong leadership and inspiration for the team. A highlight of the season was the district meet where all but one runner achieved personal records in the diffi- cult five mile course. GFC ' s top runner, Steve Blikstad, fulfilled a lifetime dream when he finished 19th in the national meet which earned him the honor of All American. 56 CROSS COUNTRY (1) Steve Blikstad crosses the finish line showing spectators his winning style.

CROSS COUNTRY 57 Bump Gains Popularity More fans than usual filled the bleachers this year to watch the action of the volleyball team, and the sup- port was greatly appreciated. It was a young team, with just two seniors, but a sense of unity and co- operation prevailed overall. This may be attributed to an extra week of preseason practice and a weekend to- gether at the beach. Good potential was apparent in a building season as the team tried new offensive strategies under Coach Weesner. Many away games kept them on the road, and while that road was not paved with victories, the team felt that how they played was more important than winning. They did prove worthy contestants for their opponents though, resulting in many close games. On the whole, the volleyball team gave it their best, and the anticipation of playing in a new gym should bring added promise to next year ' s team. 58 VOLLEYBALL 8 (1) Elaine Rhodes attempts a diving save as her fell ow players look on.

VOLLEYBALL 59 Winning Combination Keeping with tradition, the GFC Soccer Club completed another win- ning season under the direction of player-coach Eric Anglin. Enthusiasm and determination were main factors in the Bruins ' victories as a few veterans teamed with new start- ers to finish the year with eight wins, one tie and one loss. The teamwork of a strong, experi- enced defense, and a young, but eager offense formed the winning combina- tion GFC fans like to see. The popularity and success of the Soccer Club may well see it becoming a varsity sport within the not too dis- tant future. 60 SOCCER (1) Mark Rettmann, Eddie Tang and Steve Johnson appear to be absorbed by the action of the game.

SOCCER 61 Added Boost Togetherness was one of the major contributing factors in the field hockey team ' s impressive 1 1 win, 4 loss, 1 tie season, making it one of the best in the school ' s history. The turnout for this year ' s squad was the biggest ever, resulting in a good distribution of veterans and new recruits in both offensive and defensive positions. The growth and progress of the team was apparent in the dedica- tion of their workouts as they ran and practiced daily to increase endurance, strength and speed. Under the direction of Dee Bright in her first year of collegiate coaching, the team remained undefeated in one of their four-game tournaments. In addition, three members made the Women ' s Conference of Independent Colleges All-Star Team. Skill, dedication and the spirit of unity gave the field hockey team that added boost to bring off a top season. 62 FIELD HOCKEY (1) Coach Dee Bright flashes a look of concern in the direction of the score- board.

Not only did the Portland Trailblazers make the World Championships under their first year coach, Jack Ramsey, but the GFC Bruins went to the Dis- trict 2 play-offs under Coach Sam Willard in his first year at GFC. It was the sixth time in 7 years that the Bruins went to the play oils. It was the season for records, too, beginning with the Bruins winning more games in their 20-8 season than any team in the school ' s history. They also set more than 20 team and in- dividual records in the season. To add to their impressive accomplishments, the squad also had the longest winning streak sine? the team entered the NAIA competition — 11 games. Total team points established a new record of 2,495, based on 1,003 field goals and 489 free throws. Records were set in the number of shots attempted and the percentage made, to add to the incredible list of statistics. Team st and-out Paul Cozens was named to the District 2 all star team for the third straight year. After his eighteenth game, he also exceeded the career scoring record set by Gordy Loewen in his ball playing career from 1968 to 1972. Two big moments this season in- cluded the last varsity game to be played in 31 -year-old Hester Gym- nasium. A nostalgia night was featur- ed with fans dressed in Fifties style. The second highlight was the Bruins ' trip to Hawaii for the play-offs at Hilo against the Vulcans. The Bruins bow- ed 85-79 to their hosts, however. The reasons for the team ' s success are manyfold. One reason was that good results with the full-court press, making for high pressure games, add- ed to their tenacious defense. The greatest contributing factor, however, has been the Bruins ' ability to play as a team. The same concept that the Blazers attribute their success to (1) Janet Foster finishes a rally routine.

The term refers to the team ' s ability to execute the ' fast break. ' The ag- gressiveness of the squad and their strong endurance as well as Cheryle Lawrence specializing in rebounding, enabled them to carry out this stra- tegy. Pam Sturzinger ' s ability to steal the ball from opponents and good team defensive action were also strong points. An emphasis on hitting free throw shots helped chalk up some of the team ' s points. Although it was not a high win sea- son in coach Bob Wright ' s last year, there was good distribution of skills and scoring within the squad. They just lacked experience and a strong back up for the starters. Dee Bright can look forward to coaching a more experienced team next year, as many will be returning. WOMENS BASKETBALL 69 Trio Tops in Men ' s Track Three Bruins provided much of the excitement for track fans this year as the team performed well throughout the season, taking second place in the district championship. GFC collected eight first places in the meet, com- pared with five for Lewis and Clark, which took top team honors. Steve Blikstad became the top American Steeplechase runner in the NAIA, earning the designation of Ail- American for the event. He is NAIA District 2 ' s champion in both the steeplechase and cross country. Greg Griffin just missed an AU- American designation in the 100- meters by seven one-hundredths of a second and helped garner points for the Bruins in most meets. Chad Neeley captured the NAIA District 2 decathalon title and placed 24th in the national competition. 70 MENS TRACK ( 1 ) Chad Neeley prepares for one of the many events that he participated in to capture the NAIA District 2 Decathlon.

MENS TRACK 71 Coachable With a small team, of just ten members, the women ' s track squad still excelled in several events. Five freshmen and five sophomores com- bined to make a very young team that coach Randy Winston calls very coachable. Coach Winston had a team with a lot of exuberance in his first year of coaching women ' s track. The women set individual goals and encouraged each other to meet those goals. Their concern for each other helped pull them together. Three standouts, who were named to the Women ' s Conference of In- dependent Colleges All-Star track team were Sue Banta, Mary Ann Mason, and Vicki Morgan. Banta tossed the javelin 154 ' 10 for a new GFC record and finished 1 1 out of 45 in the nationals with a throw of 144 ' 10 . Mason broke the school high jump record with a 5 ' 2 effort. Morgan ran the 100 yd. dash in 11.8 seconds and set a record in the 200 meters at 26.9 as well as helping GFC clip 23 seconds off the old school record in the mile-relay, estab- lishing the new mark at 4:18.2. Much of the rest of the team also set new records. With many of the team returning, and incoming recruits, Coach Winston says, We are looking to the future with great expectations. 72 WOMENS TRACK (1) Maciana Teasiey paces herself in an attempt to maintain her lead.

WOMENS TRACK 73 74 BASEBALL On The Road A young Bruin baseball team gained a lot of experience, but few wins, playing a 26-game schedule with all but six contests on the road, traveling from Lewiston to Ashland. Craig Taylor, in his fourth year as Bruin coach, headed the 16 man squad that included 13 freshmen and sophomores and praised the develop- ment of his young players. The baseball Bruins finished the regular season with an impressive two game rout of Western Baptist, as they earned an overall record of 7-19. (1) Jeff Bineham puts his all in every pitch.

BASEBALL 75 lib Positive Mental Attitude Positive Mental Attitude or PMA was the key to spurring on the GFC women ' s softball team in a 11 win 7 loss season. The positive spirit sur- rounding coach Dee Bright ' s squad left them 4-4 in conference and 3-2 in tournament action. They also seemed to have an uncanny knack for large- score comebacks in the last two or three innings of a game. Most Valuable Player, Sharla Barnett was a main force on the team along with Diane Beebe and Pam Sturzinger. Diane Offet, affectionately known as Munchkin to her fellow teammates probably exhibited the real spirit behind the team, as she was voted Most Inspirational Player. Although the team is losing a few seniors, if they continue to rally to the cry of PMA when things get tough, next season should be another winner. 76 SOFTBALL ( 1 ) Mona Barnett scans the field decid- ing exactly where to put the ball before coming up to bat.

SOFTBALL 77 Strengths Weaknesses It was a very inexperienced women ' s tennis team that started the season this year under coach Jim Talbot. Rod Crecelius was the assistant coach and both felt that the girls all improved their skills throughout the season. The team learned to assess their strengths and weaknesses through the every day practices and learned to play better together. One general com- plaint was the lack of practice space. Two courts just could not meet the team ' s practice needs. Lynn Graham led the team as their strongest and most experienced player. In spite of the over all inexperience of the team, they still ended up with several matches in their favor. (1) Lori Dworschak about to connect. (2) Kathy Harmon on the follow through. (3) Lynn Graham completes a serve. (4) Team: Front row, left to right, Lynn Graham, Lynette Wilhelm, Colleen Norton.

Sports For All Seasons Dull evenings and weekends were interrupted on a regular schedule by a well planned calendar of campus sports. The intramurals program, or- ganized by Kathy King and Joel Leisy, included flag football, volleyball, 3- person basketball, foosball, tennis, ping-pong, a car rally and pool, pro- viding something for just about every- one. The program was upgraded by the purchase of new sports equipment to be used in the new sports center. Joel Leisy, instrumental in the selection and funding of the equipment, predicts an expansion of GFC intramurals in the future to include more sports and allow a greater number of students to participate.

For nine years Rev. Hughes was at the Granada Heights Friends Church as its first youth pastor, then minister to college students and finally associate pastor. He is a graduate of Talbot Theological Seminary where he is also the part time instructor of beginning Greek. Rev. Hughes spoke in Chapel all week and also had evening sessions. He was a low key speaker, with an emphasis on relating Christianity to everyday life. it 5 t 84 SPIRITUAL EMP. WEEK Emphasis on Christian Living Christian Emphasis expanded its efforts in attempting to reach more students with the good news of Jesus Christ and the effect those beliefs should have on everyday living. Student Chaplain, Greg Enns, be- gan an ambitious effort to form dis- ciplcship groups on campus and the result was over 100 persons meeting weekly in small groups studying and analyzing their commitment to Christ. The emphasis was on the changed life of those who follow and believe in His way of life. The program was widely accepted by students and faculty, and Enns anticipates a large turnout next year. Collegiate Challenge, held on Wed- nesday nights, was expanded to in- clude a wider variety of programs and succeeded in reaching a good cross- section of the GFC community. Among the highlights of this year ' s activities were Reverend Norm Riggins discussing Operation Nightwatch a ministry to transients in Seattle; resi- dence hall sharing with particular liv- ing area taking charge of a program; and an outing to Camp Tilikum.

The theme of My Future — His Plan was appropri- ate, as part of the purpose was to help expose students to opportunities for them in missions. Forums held in the evenings which dealt with what was involved in being a missionary enabled students to ask questions of the various missionaries. The missionaries always attempted to make themselves accessible to the stu - dents. Displays in the Cap and Gown room had brochures available, and many of the visitors ate in the Com- mons in order to interact on a more personal level with the students. A Faith Promise Dessert on the last night gave students a chance to get in- volved while still at home, to trust God for an amount to help support missions. The topic of the evening was Opportunities for Service in the 1970 ' s and 1980 ' s and several stu- dents who had served as short term summer missionaries had an oppor- tunity to share. Dorothy Thomas, director of the conference, did a fantastic job of or- ganization, bringing a great variety of missionaries serving in such diverse fields, to help students see the many different opportunities for service. 86 MISSIONS CONFERENCE (1) Attentive crowd listens to Diane Offet share her short-term mission ex- periences.

Chapel Program Expands Chapel serves as a gathering place for the GFC community, providing time for students and faculty to enjoy and join with those who come to share their lives and love for Jesus Christ. Students were given greater freedom this year choosing which chapels to attend. The program was expanded to three days a week allow- ing students to determine which two chapels would be most beneficial to them during the week. Featured speakers this year includ- ed the president of Western Conserva- tive Baptist Seminary, Earl Rade- macher, who spoke on integrating faith in G-od with daily life. Roil Sider pleaded the cause of the hungry around the world. Jim Bolden, Jay Kessler and Colonel Heath Bottomly were also featured, as were regular student sharing times. 5 CHAPEL 89 WW (1) Warren Koch and Ron Boschult per- form as part of GFC ' s drama group Intermission.

This division attempts to give students a broad general educa- t ion with some academic specializa- tion for prospective teachers. Instruc- tion for building physical development of students which also helps enhance leisure time, is the objective of the P.E. department. A new professor for Teacher Edu- cation this year was Herman Hughes who co-chaired the Division along with Marjorie Weesner. Hughes holds a Doctorate in educational administra- tion from the University of Oregon. Two other newcomers to the de- partment were Dee Bright and Sam Willard. Dee Bright, who holds a Master ' s Degree in P.E. from the Uni- versity of Oregon, coached many of the women ' s sports and was very well received by the students. Mrs. Wees- ner says she added a breath of fresh air to the department. Sam Willard, as the new director of athletics, also coached the Bruin Basketball team in a winning season. Willard has been athletic director and coach at Big Bend Community Col- le ge in Moses Lake, Washington, for the past seven years. Craig Taylor, a graduate of GFC, was the new assis- tant basketball coach. Some new happenings in the P.E. department included expansion of the track program and a new course called The Sociology of Sports. Mrs. Weesner says that much time was spent in the frustrations and joys of planning for the new gymnasium and sports complex, which will truly bring about some radical changes in this department next year. 94 DIVISION I (1) Track Coach Rich Allen.

DIVISION I 95 Division II Fine and Applied Arts The Division of Fine and Applied Arts includes courses in art and ma- jors in music and music education. The performing ensembles at GFC in- clude the Concert Band, Music Thea- tre, A cappclla choir, oratorio choir, New Vision Singers, and the Orches- tra. Music from every period of history was explored and performed this year as the music department provided a variety of events and activities for the discriminating listener. Events ranged from the historic play of Daniel to the contemporary musical Godspell. The oratorio choir performed Brahm ' s Requiem and both the A cappella choir and the band toured the western United States. A five day Fine Arts Festival capped the year ' s activities as art and music combined talents to produce an exceptional week. The art department continues to draw its share of art enthusiasts, rang- ing from the novice to all different levels of expertise. The classes are designed to allow stud ents to work on their own level, and to learn the aesthetics of art as well as the plea- sures and fundamentals. The art de- partment is looking forward to having a little more elbow room in Brougher Hall next year, as the science and math classes will be moving into their own building. 96 DIVISION II (1) Dr. Dennis Hagen and Dr. Robert Lauinger pause during their busy sched- ule for a quick picture.

A few foreign languages are also included in this division. Some of the objectives in this division are to help students communicate in both oral and written expression and to challenge students to be creative. En- larging the understanding, apprecia- tion, and enjoyment of literature is one of the main goals of the literature courses. A major in this field would enable a student to pursue practically any com- munication — related vocations, as it allows for exploration of the diverse areas of communication. Professors as well as students are very active in this division, as both Michael Graves and Ed Higgins had numerous works published in various periodicals and have participated in some poetry reading sessions. Both have also attended conferences related to their fields. Sam Sherrill, Division Chairman also read a paper on Charles Williams at the Western Conference of Christianity and Literature. A new class, Christianity and Com- munication Arts was taught by Mi- chael Graves and was very well re- ceived by the students. Lhe class allowed the student to explore his or her own field of interest as it related to contemporary Christianity and pre- sent the conclusions to the class, ex- plaining how the students could apply the results to today. Several student endeavors included the revival of a literary club known as the Scribbler ' s Club and the publica- tion of a literary journal edited by one of the students, Becky Ankeny. Several productions were put on for Senior Seminar projects, including Susan Allen ' s Story Theatre and original one act plays by Dan Berg- grcn. Inter Mission, the Drama Touring group, also put on several performances. The Division looks forward to the addition of Lisl Ritzmann as the in- structor of English and speech for next year. She holds a masters degree in English Literature from Stanford Uni- versity and is a 1975 graduate of Wheaton College. She also studied the past year at Multnomah School of the Bible. 98 DIVISION III DIVISION III 99 Division IV Natural Science The Division of Natural Science at GFC has a unique philosophy as it focuses on creation as a fact of history and as a basis for organization. This division includes both the science and home economics departments. A few changes in the science de- partment include a change of person- nel, which was in the person of Ron Morgan. Morgan graduated from GFC in 1968 and has taught electron- ics, math and physics at Reynolds High School for the past seven years. Besides being the Physics professor here, Morgan has assisted with the Math Lab and helped with A.V. equipment and repair. A radical change will take place in the department next year as three new professors will be joining the ranks and Jim Stanley will be return- ing from a year leave doing graduate work in Math education at Oregon State University. Dr. Joseph Sheldon from Eastern College in St. David, Pennsylvania, will be on an exchange program with Dr. Voth. Sheldon will be the visiting professor of biology here with Voth filling Sheldon ' s place at Eastern. The Home Economics department is also in a period of transition with a change of personnel. Claudine Kratz- berg is the associate professor and Carolyn Ballard is a part time instruc- tor in the clothing classes. Miss Kratzberg holds a master ' s degree in Home Management and Family Living from OSU and has taught Home eco- nomics at the University of Puget Sound for the past twelve years. She has many plans for improving the de- partment, which may take place in the near future. 100 DIVISION IV Division V Religion An outstanding event on campus this year was the coming of veteran missionary, former college president and Quaker scholar, Dr. Everett Cattell to teach two courses for the Division of Religion, during the win- ter quarter. The Division hopes to be able to bring other distinguished scholars in the Religion field for short terms to ' the campus in subsequent years. The Division also was co- sponsor of Quaker Emphasis Week, and plans several major conferences for the academic year 1977-1978. The Religion faculty is advising over 70 majors in Christian Ministries, Re- ligion, Interdisciplinary majors and Fine Arts majors. Nineteen students graduated with majors in the Division of Religion this year, compared with about three students per year a decade ago. The Division of Religion reviewed the curriculum closely this past year, and students examining the new cata- log will see new courses added in Christian camping, new Bible offerings and New Testament Greek now of- fered each year. 102 DIVISION V 1 ' VISION V 103 104 DIVISION VI Division VI Social Science Dynamic development characterized the Social Science Division this year. Two divisional profs — Mike Allen in Sociology-Psychology and Jack Day in Business — arc new this year, and a third, Tom Head, returned to teach Economics after a two-year leave for advanced study. New people mean new perspectives, as Mike Allen proved dramatically. Fresh from varied research, extensive publication, and deep community in- volvement in the field of aging in Ari- zona, he sensitized a goodly segment of the Fox community to the rich field of Gerontology. He is in demand as a speaker and for special workshops, and will intern with state aging agen- cies this summer. This was the first full year of our new Social Service program, the school ' s newest major and one of increasing popularity. Bruce Long- stroth has established a GFC Social Service Advisory Committee of top professional social workers around the state, and is moving his program toward full accreditation. Numerous student internships in social agencies ranging from child care to rest homes offer opportunities to combine learn- ing and living. This division ' s goal as seen by Chairman Lee Nash is to understand and teach its disciplines in Christian perspective, so that students may have the means to develop their own Chris- tian philosophies of public affairs and of human behavior. Ralph Beebe demonstrated how historical scholar- ship can serve this goal in his special Faculty Lecture, this spring, on The United States: A Century Ago and Today. DIVISION VI 105 Members of One Body A nearly unseen force of people help keep the college running. This force is known as the staff. These people include everyone from Dr. Le Shana to maintenance crews. It would seem that for any system to function, the work has to be divided. In Acts, chapter six, seven were chosen to help with the work, leaving the others free to minister and serve in their capacities. Surely everyone serves, in whatever station they hold. The Administration continues to function because there are secretaries to carry out necessary duties. Secre- taries are able to function because maintenance people keep things to- gether, and so on down the line. Romans, chapter twelve, verses four and five read: For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same func- tion, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually mem- bers one of another. So, as each member of the staff carries out the necessary duties, the school functions, but each member is important in and of itself to keep the body functioning as one.

Yes, if your smiling face didn ' t appear on every other page, we ' re the ones who are responsible. As usual, like every other staff, we missed deadlines, brainstormed, miss- ed deadlines, crammed all the work into two weeks, missed deadlines, goofed off, and somehow managed to get a yearbook out. It was worth all of our honest effort, though, and we hope and pray that it will be edifying and meaningful. Top Row: Chuck Hernandez, Artist; Mike Denny, Photographer.
