A friend gives us confidence for life. A friend makes us out do ourselves. 4 lntroduction Introduction 5 6 lntroduction Introduction 7 A friend may praise us, and we are not em- barrassed; he may rebuke us, and we are not angered. If he be silent, we understand. It takes a great soul to be a true friend — a large, catholic, steadfast, and loving spirit. One must forgive much, forget much, forbear much.

There is nothing else in life except motherhood that costs so much. It not only costs time, affection, patience, love, but sometimes a man must even lay down his life for his friends. There is no true friendship with- out self-abnegation, self-sacrifice. Anna R.

Still plugging away, the first raft appeared under the bridge about half an hour atfer the race started. In the course of the long, clammy voyage, only one raft capsized, while 16 others made it to the finish. Roger Watson ' s crew even arrived cheerfully singing, We ' re Rowing to Zion. The winners, Keith and Tim Nofziger, set a record time of 73 minutes. Second prize was claimed by Jay Adrian and crew, while Scott Sleeman ' s raft took third. One by one, the entrants hauled their crafts out of the river and trudged stiffly up the hill to a much welcomed SAGA picnic. Thus ended the ninth annual soggy, foggy GFC Raft Race. 14 Raft Race (1) Jeannette Still, Debbie Breitmeier, and Debbie Stephens wait for their ship to come in.

(7) The new Hoover Academic Building sup- plies needed facilities and enhances the beauty of the campus. Years of faith become a reality George Fox College paused for a Day of Dedication to give thanks to Cod for His leading and goodness as four new buildings, valued at more than $4.2 million, were opened to the public. Classes were cancelled to allow students and faculty to attend and participate in a day-long program of activities. Much of the day was spent honoring Herbert Hoover, the 31st president of the United States, after whom the new academic building is named. U.S. Senator Mark Hatfield gave the opening address, entitled Hoover, the Conservationist. Young Hoover attended Pacific Academy, the forerunner of George Fox College. The Hoover Academic Building houses the Division of Social Sciences and the Kershner Center for Business and Economics. The Macy Sutton Residence Halls, named for Charlotte L. Macy and Mary C. Sutton, complete the largest student housing complex on campus with a variety of living situations available. The Wheeler Sports and Physical Education Center is the largest building on campus. With it ' s facilities rivaling those of most universities, it replaces the antiquated Hester gymnasium. These structures give the rapidly growing George Fox College the br eathing room it needs.

(7) Mike Englen ' s ears droop as the evening wears on. 18 Halloween Party Creative costumes baffle judges How would you like to spend an entire evening encased in a cardboard airplane, mimicking the lead players of Star Wars, or bumbling about, stuffed with pillows and labeled Hockey Ball with Hockey Stick ? These were the measures taken by the first-place winners at the Halloween costume party to earn film passes for the winter term. Since not everyone can win, the judges were heard to be whispering fiercely at each other as they attempted to choose the best from the throng of greasepaint grins and ingenious homemade outfits. The final decisions were made on the basis of the crowd ' s applause. The party continued with skits, a pinata, and games and cookies for all. Then the whole company dispersed for open dorms. The best- decorated hall, Edwards 2 North, received a bag of popcorn balls. Despite the discomfort, the evening was evidently worth it. Even the Hockey Ball smiled as she seated herself laboriously and said, Could someone please bring me a cup of hot cider? Halloween Party 19 Christmas lightened by spirits Scrooooooge! The eerie moans filled Wood- Mar Auditorium on December 8, 9, and 10. It was the ghost of Jacob Marley calling upon his business partner Ebenezer Scrooge to pay penenance for his years of hard heartedness. Using slides to grip the feeling of flying, the three Spirits effectively took Scrooge and the audience into the Christmases of the Past, Present and Future. The cast did an excellent job in capturing the audience. They were absorbed in the plot and Craig Mclndoo, as Scrooge, did an especially commendable job in getting them to react. The cast produced this Christmas program by compiling the script of Scrooge from a musical, a play, and Charles Dickens ' well known story, A Christmas Carol. They presented their composition to the Newberg community and were very well received. It was a good beginning to the Christmas season and a perfect way to catch the holiday spirit. 20 Scrooge 3 I Narrator Sandy Hollenbeck Ebenezer Scrooge Craig Mclndoo Bob Cratchit Tim Small Fred Mike Lehman Woman Collector Sue Millikan Jacob Marley Jacob Marley Ghost of Christmas Past . .

Scrooge 21 Fall Banquet goes to the Top ' City lights created a romantic view from high atop Portland ' s Cosmopolitan Hotel for those attending the Fall Banquet this year. After a punchbowl reception, master of Ceremonies Dick Benham welcomed the gathering to an evening of entertainment, beginning with the music of G.F. student Laura Clark. Guests then enjoyed the antics of the college ' s drama tour group while finishing tossed salad, roast beef, and vanilla ice cream. Special performer Tom Howard gave a concert of thought-provoking songs he had written, deftly accompanying himself on piano and guitar. He also did a comical song about life in a goldfish bowl which received a hearty round of applause. The group, happy and well-fed, was dismissed with a benediction by the Activities Director, Fred Van Gorkom, to return to a few more weeks of ordinary life. 22 Fall Banquet New and renewed commitments With an emphasis on the Christian life, Dr. Lanson Ross was the speaker for the annual Spiritual Life meeting held on campus October 24-28. It was a fulfilling week for a lot of students, with several accepting Christ for the first time and many more renewing their commitments. Several also attended the evening sessions where discussions accompanied Ross ' s messages. Becoming the kind of people God wants us to be was stressed as the most significant task of Christians, along with the true meaning of believing in Christ. Dr. Ross is the president of Evangelistic Enterprises in Seattle. He is involved in several outreach programs and serves as a development consultant to Christians organizations. I can ' t tell you how much I have appreciated being at George Fox, Ross commented as the week concluded. I ' ve been in one place for such a short time and found so many friends. (1) Enjoying an elegant evening are Debbie Stephens, Chris Steiger, Debbie Egger and Steve Beeson. (2) Tom Howard from Hollywood won many new fans with his contemporary Christ- mas music.

Christian Life 23 Season ends at Nationals George Fox College placed five runners in the top 20 to run away with the 1977 NAIA District 2 Cross Country Championship. The district title was the first in cross country and the second in any sport for the Bruins. A week later George Fox finished 22nd in the nation among 53 competing teams. Five GFC harriers finished in the top half of the 411 runners racing on the five-mile national course, but the Bruins ' top runner (last year Ail- American) Steve Blikstad suffered leg pains and was nearly sidelined. As a result he struggled across the finish line a gallant but disappointing 127th. First to finish for the Bruins was Chris Mwaura in 25:40 which was good for a 62nd over all. We were a little disappointed with the finish, Coach Rich Allen said, but now we know what it ' s like to have a team in the nationals. 24 Cross Country (1)Running through beautiful Bush ' s Pasture Park is Dave Molstad on his way to the finish line.

(5) The proud team surrounded by their loyal fans crying We ' re number one! Cross Country 25 Dig that bump The girls did a good job and learned the importance of communicating with each other on and off the floor, said Coach Marjorie Weesner. The Bruin women ' s volleyball team had a difficult season, but their strong skills and balance helped them grow quickly. The team, mostly freshmen, spent much time developing mental toughness and improving their skills. Contrary to what the season record of 3-14 showed, Coach Weesner felt the girls competed well. She was also pleased with the unity and cohesiveness the team acquired as the season progressed. Ramona Shepherd was chosen for the first team of the WCIC Conference Allstars. Receiving team awards were Joni Snyder, Most Valuable; Jean Frost, Most Inspirational; and Tari Bates, Most Improved. The game against Lewis and Clark was the team ' s high point, and showed that with tenacity and good attitudes they could play against a superior team and look good despite the outcome. Next year promises to be a good year for Bruin volleyball as many players return. Coach Weesner is encouraged about next year and anticipates working with the potential and skill which were developed this year. As she said, By reaching your individual potential and learning to handle pressure you can do impossible things. 26 Volleyball (1) Jean Frost and Tari Bates display how team- work works in volleyball.

Volleyball 27 Bright future seen for rookie team We gave 100% in almost every game, and you can ' t ask for more than that, said Coach Dee Bright of her team. The women ' s field hockey team went through a building season. Of the fifteen women on the team, onlv six had played field hockey before. Although their season record was 1-12-2, it was not indicative of the talent the Bruin women possessed. Chosen for the WCIC Conference Allstar Team were Jeannette Myers and Juliie Frost. Diane DeWitt and Lurae Hanson were selected for the Honorable Mention Team. In addition, these members received team awards: Kelley Davidson, Most Inspirational; Jeannette Myers, Most Valuable; Debbie Partaine, Most Improved; with Juli Phillips and Lurae Hanson receiving Most Muddy and Most Bruises, respectively. When the Bruin women traveled to Salem for the Selectors Tournament, they came up with their first win in a 3-0 shut out ag ainst OCE. A three day trip to Vancouver B.C. for the NCWSA Tournament was a high point of the season. The girls came back with 2 losses, 2 ties and several cases of frostbite. This year saw much individual achievement and spiritual growth. The team ' s trying season created a strong bond of unity and a realization that, as Coach Bright said, People are more important than field hockey. Since many of the girls will be returning next fall, Bruin field hockey has a Bright future. 28 Field Hockey (1) Kelley Davidson, Juli Phillips and Jeannette Myers congratulate Diane DeWitt after she scores the first goal of the season against Lin- field.

Field Hockey 29 Ineligibility plagues team The Bruins ' first intercollegiate soccer season turned out to be a disappointing one. Their 1-8 season resulted from the lack of experienced players. At the beginning of the season the Bruins had only four experienced players around which to build a team. Coach Doug McKenna structured a very competitive team around this small nucleus, but his efforts to build a winning team were frustrated. Three key starters, Dave Meireis, Rob King, and Dave Christensen, were lost due to ineligibility, and the GFC defense was crippled. However, the season was not all gloom and despair. Resisting the temptation to become discouraged was difficult, but each team member persisted and kept improving throughout the season. They displayed their improvement in the last game of the year when the Bruins held Western Baptist to a 3-3 tie until the 84th minute of the game. Two Bruins deserve special recognition for their contributions to the first season of intercollegiate play. Rod Williamson, who will be back next year, was named Most Valuable to the team, and Amadu Koroma was selected for first team all conference of the Oregon Intercollegiate Soccer Association. .-.v. 30 Soccer Soccer 31 Sports Index VOLLEYBALL Row 1— Joan Snyder, Sandra Cope, Ramona Shepherd, Nancy Banta, Paula Ankeny; Row 2 — Mary Ann Mason, Jean Frost, Kathy King, Alynn Thompson, Tari Bates.

Sports Index 33 New gymnasium, new opportunities Beautiful Wheeler Sports Center made its smash debut this year. Its spacious provisions were much appreciated by all who used it, but especially by Division I faculty members, according to Dr. Marjorie Weesner. Dr. Weesner, physical education chairman, said that both the esprit de corps of the staff and the cohesiveness of the total program were enhanced by having the faculty offices in the same area as the sports facility. Two of the faculty members received a special distinction this past year. Dr. Herman Hughes, the director of teacher education, and Professor Dee Bright were both approved for a five-week faculty internship under the Kellogg Foundation grant, Dr. Hughes to teach in a public school and Professor Bright to work at the Metro Fitness Center in Portland. Dr. Hughes also served on the Newberg school district ' s Goals Committee, while Superintendent of Newberg schools Dr. Gerald Post joined the GFC Teacher Education Committee. New opportunities were available to Division I majors, too. For students majoring in physical education, one such opportunity involved coaching and assisting at local schools. Another was the athletic training practicum program directed by certified trainer Frank Kyte. The number of physical education majors remained constant, with Christian Ministries Physical Education enjoying newfound popularity as an interdisciplinary combination. In teacher education, enrollment reached an all-time high of over 100 students. Of this number, almost half were enrolled in the two- degree elementary education programs with Oregon College of Education and a newer program with Linfield College. Programs like these made it possible for all 21 of George Fox ' s 1977 secondary education graduates who applied to find jobs, mostly in teaching or education- related fields.

The art department offered classes in calligraphy, pottery, drawing and painting. It also sponsored an art show in the Cap and Gown room featuring the watercolor and oil paintings of Thea Shepherd, a well-known Tillamook artist, who spoke at a reception given in her honor. The music department staged two musicals this year: Pilgrim ' s Progress and The Sound of Music. Both the band and the choir made tours, the band to Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia and the choir, despite a major epidemic of Russian flu, to Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. The choir also sang at the American Choral Directors Association ' s regional meeting at Portland State University. Not only the students, but faculty members in Division II were involved in many activities. Robert Lauinger continued to play solo clarinet in the Salem Wind Ensemble, Dave Howard remained active in the Associated Guild of Organists of the Northwest, and Dennis Hagen was again a member of the College Band Directors National Association and the Oregon Music Administrators. Pete Snow attended a five-day conference on Christians and the visual arts and spoke to Newberg elementary teachers about children and art. Another big event this year was the beginning of work on a new music building, the Milo C. Ross Fine Arts Center. After 31 years of cramped World War II army barracks, music lovers eagerly look forward to using the new structure. 40 Fine Arts (1) The GFC Orchestra.

Valentine ' s Day: a double delight Valentine ' s Eve came into being for the first time this year as the Activities Committee attempted to accommodate students who wouldn ' t be able to join in the regular Valentine ' s Day activities. The new holiday was celebrated with a 50 ' s night and a pizza feed after the basketball game. Greasers and bobby-soxers watched silent movies and muched pizza to the beat of Roger Wilhite ' s spiffy rock band. Then, on Valentine ' s Day itself, every woman student received a valentine from the Activities Committee, while the Sutton Suitees (the girls in the first floor Sutton suites) delivered made-to-order sugar cookie messages to many lucky students. In the evening, SAGA invited boarders to a formal dinner preceeded by a reception of beribboned Pennington Lobby and followed by a music concert with Springs of Joy. All in all, it was two days of fun and entertainment which made this Valentine ' s Day a little special. Missionaries promote field work Most of us approach missions with the attitude, ' If you want me to go, God, you ' re going to have to hit me over the head. ' We should be saying, ' God, I ' m going— unless you hit me over the head. ' Steve Cadd jarred listeners with statements like this during his Missions Conference speech, driving home the truth that every believer is inexcapably obligated to evangelize. He contended that the United States, while not wholly Christian, is evangelized already and therefore the argument I ' m being a missionary right here in America is no excuse. With an earnest, power-packed style seldom equalled, Steve forced his audience to rethink their glib dismissals of the Lord ' s command to preach the Gospel everywhere. Marty Ensign, a doctor from Africa, provided insights of a differend nature. She spoke of her own experiences helping the local people, and one day she surprised students by unrolling an enormous boa constictor skin over the podium, just for fun. Other represenatives provided slides, film presentations, pamphlets, books and display items for the students to study. Each of the missionaries were available to students during the week. Their contributions helped open the eyes of the college community to our God-given commission, a commission we cannot refuse. TROUT CKE BIBLE CAMP EZ3 (1) Ron Crecelius explains to students the displays set up during Missions Week. (2) Trout Creek Bible Camp was another of the displays.

This was an actual comment from a student attending George Fox, a college owned and operated by the Quakers. The purpose of Quaker Heritage Week was to let people know the Quakers are still very active today. Many non-Quaker students ask, What are Quaker all about? and How are they different from other denominations? During this week questions such as these are answered. The guest speaker for the week was Jack Kirk, pastor of the University Friends Church in Wichita, Kansas. During chapel, Kirk related biographies of many dedicated Quakers. Some of his messages included Quaker Distinctives in 20th Century America, Aspects of our Quaker Heritage, and The New Call to Peacemaking — the latter being the theme for the week. Speakers John Braun and Fred Gregory held sessions on personal, domestic and global peacemaking, while Howard Macy, Kara Cole, Norval Hadley and Tom Head spoke on practical everyday situations where peacemaking could be exercised. The sessions were well- attended and favorably received. Hopefully, they helped put an end to remarks like, I didn ' t know Quakers still existed!

Music Director 52 Pilgrim ' s Progress Musical carries message SHEPHERD: Life can only be fulfilled by your faith in God ' s own Son! PILGRIM: You may be right, but I still think I can do it myself . . . Act II, scene 3 (The music plays wildly as scenes from the Slough, Vanity Fair, and courtroom are projected, and PILGRIM reacts with terrible pangs of conscience. Music builds until PILGRIM cries out) PILGRIM: Lord Jesus, save me! (PILGRIM reaches around and discovers the burden gone from his back.) PILGRIM (looking heavenward): It wasn ' t a dream! You heard my cry. (He bows his head.) WIFE (leaning out the door): Christian! Christian! Supper ' s ready. (PILGRIM, recognizing his new name, looks up in wonder. Curtain falls as he walks toward wife and house.) The story of one man ' s journey in search of his salvation was brought to this dramatic climax in Ted Nichols ' s musical version of Pilgrim ' s Progress. Performed and directed by campus students, the production was a resounding success, and some cast members even took part in a later performance at the Portland Civic Auditorium. Based on the novel by John Bunyan, the orchestrated stage version depicts Pilgrim ' s recognition of his burden of sin, decision to search for relief, struggle against apathy and worldly temptations, and final understanding that grace is free, not earned. Pilgrim ' s Progress 53 54 Miracle Worker They said it couldn ' t be done Katie, this is her first position? Captain Keller exploded at his wife. Here ' s a house full of grownups who can ' t cope with Helen! How do you expect a half blind Yankee schoolgirl to manage her? But Annie Sullivan, poor, uneducated orphen that she was, burst into the Keller home with no more than an unruly temper and an iron will, and manage her she did — far beyond anyone ' s highest imaginations. The true story of the determined young teacher from Boston and her triumphant breakthrough to the imprisoned mind of Helen Keller sprang to life in Wood-Mar at the end of winter term. After long weeks of preparation, the dedicated cast and crew produced what many viewers acclaimed as one of the best performances ever seen at Fox. The dramatists read related books, kept journals, and held impromptu discussions in character to help them capture the personalities involved in the play. The finished product was so powerful that many people in the audience shed tears in the last scene, where blind-deaf-mute Helen ' s probing mind finally grasps the meaning of words. Every time we rehearsed, it was like reliving the miracle, was the sentiments of one actress. For Gail Bumala, playing the role of Annie Sullivan, the miracle-worker, was her dream come true. And a third member of the cast explained that although some of the parts were very demanding and difficult to portray, it was a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. Miracle Worker 55 Cris, Shelley receive distinction Homecoming queens come and go, but 1978 was a year to remember for George Fox ' s royalty. Last year ' s queen, Crisanne Pike, received the distinctive honor of being selected from all the college homecoming queens in the state to represent Oregon in the first annual Agree Ail-American Homecoming Queens recognition program. Sponsored by the Johnson Wax company, Cris flew to Miami to participate in the televised Rose Parade and Rose Bowl half- time show, as well as other activities planned for the homecoming queens from all fifty states and the District of Columbia. Then she returned to relinquish her crown to whomever the Bruins had chosen to succeed her. The elected princesses, senior Stephanie Baxter, junior Shelley Webster, sophomore Lorinda Johnson, freshman Sheri Hansen, and basketball princess Joani Snyder with their escorts comprised a lovely court, but when the big moment arrived, it was Shelley Webster who became the happy 1978 queen. She and her subjects then enjoyed music by various members of the college community. Homecoming activities continued the following day with morning chapel, luncheon reunions, free use of the sports center all afternoon for alumni, and an evening pie socia for everyone. At halftime during the night ' s basketball game against Warner Pacific, Queen Shelley and escort Fred VanGorkom sang a special number, Great Is Thy Faithfulness. And to top it off, George Fox ended the game with an 87-69 victory. 56 Homecoming (1) Cris Pike, 1977 queen, maintaines her royal air.

So began one of the most popular yells of the 1977-78 basketball season. The rally squad worked after hours to perfect this and other yells, practicing every day before the season began and also during Thanksgiving vacation. One of the greatest improvements showed up in stunts and gymanstics, partly due to the help of two Oregon State cheerleaders who came to GFC on several occasions to demonstrate and coach some of the more difficult moves. The stunts boasted such fancy names as sailor, angel, High-bird, chairlift, and wraparound. Monte Anders spoke for the whole group when he said, Rally was one of the hardest projects any of us ever took on. We set high goals to become a new and creative rally squad that would incite the fans to cheer the Bruins to victory. . . . It was long, hard work, but very much worth it. The fans heartily agreed that it was worth it. The general consensus was that our cheerleaders were enthusiastic, innovative, and outstanding, especially compared to other schools in the league. I liked them. They were fun to watch, said one viewer. (1) Denise Roberts, Warren Koch, and Kim Dun- can complete a tricky propeller stunt. (2) The Bruin cheerleaders make their stand.

Adding to the excitement was the 2700 capacity crowd who had come to view the Tip- Off Tournament. George Fox had the pleasure of hosting the two-day tournament in which eight teams participated. The excitement which began during the tourney lasted through the season and carried the Bruins to a 15-14 overall record. When reflecting on the season, Coach Sam Willard said, Without question we have played the toughest schedule ever. A few years ago George Fox would not have dreamed of competing against Portland State University, Seattle Pacific University and University of Portland. The Bruins expoited their reservoir of individual abilities by playing good pattern basketball within a team concept. Several players had, statistically, their best year. Senior Paul Cozens made the national Athletic Independent Association All-American Second Team. Among his many other records he holds a career rebounding record of 1,147, and most games played, 113. He also led the district with a season record of 692 points and a career record of 2,187 points. Cozens was the first in GFC history to have his number, 44, retired from the line-up and put in the trophy case. 60 Varsity Basketball (1) With a soft touch, Dave Adrian lays the ball up and in.

The team traveled to Seattle, taking one-fourth of the GFC student body with them, and came back with a 80 to 75 victory. It ' s exciting to know, said Coach Willard, that we have grown to the top independent power in the Northwest. With only two seniors leaving, Kirk Burgess and Paul Cozens, Coach Willard was very optimistic about next season. Many seasoned players will be returning, and recruit possibilities are tremendous. Next year promises to be another good season, as the Bruins face an exciting schedule. 0 ' Varsity Basketball 63 (1) Ready for the outlet pass, Don Kunkle looks on while teammates Dan Williams and Gayle Beebe fi ght for the rebound.

What program? Junior Varsity basketball, of course! This year, for the first time in seven years, George Fox had a JV training program. The purpose of the program was to prepare freshmen for future participation on the Varsity team. Craig Taylor and Mark Vernon, a substitute public school teacher in the Newberg area, were joint coaches for the team, which consisted entirely of freshmen with the exception of one sophomore. Taylor hopes to have more sophomores involved next year. The guys on this year ' s team were eager and energetic and worked extremely hard. According to Taylor, What they lacked in skill, they made up for in enthusiasm! He felt the JV program was very successful and was pleased that only two of the 14 players had to be recruited. The JV playing season extended from December first through mid-February and was highlighted by a game against the China for Christ Basketball Team. The team ' s final win-loss record was 7-4. JV Basketball 65 Spirit high despite inexperience Women ' s basketball underwent a trying season but learned a lot about the importance of teamwork and communication. Lack of height was a problem for the girls, as were the injuries which plagued the team. The responsibility of filling vacant spaces caused by injuries was not an easy one, but the young team rose to the occasion and matured a great deal in attitudes and abilities. The game against the University of Alaska provided the highlight of the season. Though they lost, the Bruins played well as a unit and put together a successful game. Another rewarding game was played against Linfield, who had already established themselves as conference champions. The women competed well and came close, losing 61 to 63. One thing I learned is I have a lot to learn, said Dee Bright, coach of the women ' s basketball team. She also learned a great deal about her team. Though the season record was 1-18, Coach Bright was proud of the fact that the girls never quit, and she could always count on them. Next year looks hopeful. With only one graduating senior, Cheryle Lawrence, many of this year ' s young players will be returning with experience. The women have become stronger mentally, improved their skills and grown as a unit, all of which will be an asset for next year ' s promising Bruins team. 66 Girl ' s Basketball (1) Senior Cheryle Lawrence tips the ball during the last game of her college basketball career.

The new facility also allowed more activities for the students to be involved in. Among the many activities offered were men ' s and women ' s bask etball, raquetball, tennis, co-ed volleyball, softball, badmitton, bowling, archery, allstar games, and the traditional May Day powderpuff football game. In women ' s basketball Penn 1 was the championship team. Hobson 3, The Mean Machine, won the football championship and then challenged the intramural all-star team and defeating them. Another event managed by Kathy King and Joel Leisy, student coordinators, was the co-ed road rally. It appeared to be a good year for intramurals and, said Kathy King, With the interest we have on this campus towards intramurals we could have a tremendous program next year, with even more to offer. 70 lntramurals w (1) Contemplating the last play, Steve Anderson and Joel Liesy walk back to the huddle.

He went on to say, however, that he and his colleagues did miss the frequent student visits afforded by their previous Calder quarters. Along with the new location came one new professor, Lisl Ritzmann, who taught composition and communication arts classes and advised the publications staffs. Miss Ritzmann was only on a one-year contract, however, and a new professor, Richard Engnell, will take her place next year. Other faculty members made news too. Ed Higgins, recipient of a Kellogg Grant last summer, used the money he earned to work as a reporter for the News-Register in McMinnville for six weeks, providing the division with helpful career-orientation materials in the field of journalism. Ed Higgins also published pieces of his poetry in several prominent magazines, as did Sam Sherrill and Michael Graves. Bob Gilmore attended a conference on the media and visited the media centers of several sister schools. He will be taking a one term sabbatical and two term leave of absence to return to Guatemala next year. One last special occurrence was the privilege of having Gene Warren, a noted Christian poet, from the University of Missouri on campus in the spring to speak in chapel, classes, and informal gatherings. Overall, it was a very good year. 74 Language Arts (1) Sam Sherrill poses in front of his infinite storehouse of wisdom and vocabulary.

As fall term started, editor Robert Claiborne and his staff faced several big challenges. One was to overcome the radical reputation which had plagued the paper for several years and thus make it more appealing to the students. Another was to fight the age-old battle of a shortage of writers. To meet the first challenge, the Crescent staff concentrated on unbiased reporting of activities, people, and issues pertinent to the student body. This included coverage of sports and musical events, interviews with the administration, specials on current issues in the church, and a two-page photo-story in each issue. The physical appearance of the paper was also changed from the traditional newspaper layout to a magazine format to increase visual interest. The Crescent however, continued to suffer from lack of writers. At the end of winter term, after much prayer and discussion among the editorial staff, the paper suspended publication. The new staff plans to revivie the Crescent during fall term of the 1978-79 school year with fresh interest and participation from both new and returning students. This year ' s L ' Ami staff was also truly unique, although there were five returning staff members, it was the addition of six new people and their ideas that made the difference. Despite the small number, the staff had the ability. They had an artist, copy writers, photographers, and those very important people who do all the menial tasks assigned by the editor. The staff made two major accomplishments this year. One was buying two new cameras and special lenses in conjuction with the newspaper staff. The other was having staff member Warren Koch take and print all the student pictures. This cut the cost in half, and the money saved was used to help pay for the cameras. Hcwever, hard times hit the L ' Ami as well as the Crescent. With very few dedicated workers and no real advisor, it was difficult to feel motivated. And, of course, there were the usual disagreements about technical matters due to different personal preferences. Plans for next year, including a new grading system and a part- time faculty member to instruct both yearbook and newspaper staffs for the first time in years, should help alleviate these problems. 76 Language Arts (1) Members of the Crescent: standing— J anine Kennel, Warren Koch, Jean Peters, Doug Cos- sel, Mark Mortier, Steve Fine, Ron Braithwaite; and sitting— Lee Riley, editor, Rob Claiborne, Sue Millikan, Beth Herman.

Language Arts 77 On the air Communicating a positive Christian witness through many styles of music, poetry, and prose was the major goal of the KGFC staff this year. Both the disc jockeys and the campus benefitted from the opportunity to play nearly sixteen hours of music and commentary a week to the George Fox community. The station underwent several changes during the past year, including the addition of over fifty albums and singles, a new sound board, and the installation of several transmitters across the campus, giving the station a more distinct, farther-reaching signal. Some difficulties were encountered, too, such as maintenance problems with the equipment and the ever-present lack of staff members. Through the next few years, however, the staff hopes to see KGFC become a licensed station with a transmitter large enough to reach the entire Newberg-McMinnville area. This, coupled with a large selection of music and more air time, should give KGFC and the George Fox community an effective outlet for communicating the joyful message of Christ. 78 Language Arts (1) Disc jockey Randy Eichenberger sets up to go on the air.

First of all, the biology department, under Dr. Orkney, applied for and received a matching grant from the National Science Foundation for $27,000. The approval of the application, which was judged by science professors in competition with hundreds of other applicants from schools all over the U.S., represented the Foundation ' s vote of confidence in George Fox ' s proposed use of government money. The funds will finance progressive research experiments and the purchase of science equipment for biology and related subjects. In the math laboratory, systems were improved to provide a series of checks between Paula Sowle, the instructor, and her students. The program was very individualized with each student taking only the specific math he or she needed. Significantly, enrollment was higher, drop-out rate was lower, and grades were better this year than last year, proving the increased effectiveness of the math lab. The department of home economics enjoyed a successful year too. Professor Claudine Kratzberg was elected to the board of the Oregon Home Economics Association to represent all the state, private, and junior colleges in Oregon, working with the government to set standards and certify programs statewide. Two home economics majors were also elected to offices in the student chapter of the Association: Jeanne Mirgon, student director, and Anna Birks, historian. Plans are being made to add a second full-time faculty member to the department. The future of Division IV includes the addition of a computer to be used for instruction in computer programming and computer languages, computerized teaching methods, and calculations for the school offices and alumni. The division will continue to offer a sound science program, fully up-to-date and keeping pace with new developments.

If thafs your narrow view of Central Committee, it only proves that you know quite a bit about them already. But there is much more to learn. What was their function at Fox this year? Weekly meetings, which often lasted several hours, covered subjects ranging from approval of student requests to large-scale funding projects, including financial aid for the flood victims at Jacobs Falls College, a matching fund on a three- to-one basis with the senior class to buy more library books, and assistance to a Newberg High School student who was badly burned in a farm accident. The school officers sponsored student activities like Homecoming, May Day, Missions Week, the raft race, Collegiate Challenge, intramural sports, and on-campus films. Members of the committee attempted to accurately represent the views of the student body to the administration and see that the student funds were used to the best advantage. The officers were: President Jon Chandler, Vice- president Jim Friesen, Secretary Chris Pike, Treasurer Don Armstrong, Activities Director Fred VanCorkum, Publicity Director Jan Davidson, Student Chaplain Clair Thomas, Student Union Director Rod Willia mson, Supreme Court Justice Don Willits, Campus Affairs Committee Chariman Paul Bishop, and Communication Committee Chairman Alan Stokesbary.

It must be Steve! Does he live in Sutton? Does he have blond hair? Did he come to open dorms? Maybe. Please tell me . . . come in! Oops! I ' m sorry; I didn ' t think you guys would be in bed yet. Linda— boy, I wish they ' d turn that stereo down! — may I borrow your yellow T-shirt tomorrow? Sure. Hey, Debbie, do you know who I ' m going to Roomie ' s Night Out with? Sally won ' t even give me a hint. Yea, I know who it is. He ' s 7 ' 9 , 114 pounds, and he ' s the only guy on campus you can rec ognize by smell. Come on! Okay, I ' ll tell the truth. He shops at Crown Discount, eats at SAGA and likes potatoe chips. That should narrow it down some. But listen, you guys— Pam just told me there ' s an all-dorm breakfast Wednesday! Neat! Yeah, that ' ll be fun! Well, I have late desk, so I ' d better go. Okay. Bye, Debbie. G ' night. See you in the morning. Oh! Linda, I forgot to tell you. We ' re going to take Ann to Farrell ' s for her birthday tomorrow night at 10:00. If s a surprise. Oh, good! I think we should throw her in the fountain, too. She ' s thrown enough other people in. We ' ll probably get around to that. What happened after I left the floor meeting? Well, we talked about Discipleship groups, we talked about the dirty bathroom again, and we decided to have secret sisters this term instead of secret brothers. Oh, what a pit! I had such a good secret brother last term! Remember that stuffed dog he gave me the first week, and the rose, and all those funny cards? And I really liked baking things for mine. The only thing is, there usually wasn ' t much left of them by the time they got to him. Hey! Whaf s that? It sounds like a herd of hippopotamuses coming back from Safeway. No, it sounds like a raid! Quick, lock the door! Oh, no! The whole place is going to collapse if they keep this up! I wonder who it is? What? I said, I wonder who it is? Probably Hobson again. I hope they don ' t have shaving cream! If ifs Hob, they have shaving cream. And toilet paper, and Vaseline. . . . Sounds like ifs safe now. Oh, Sally, look at this mess!

We were playing Frisbee out here in our pajamas— Why don ' t they just serenade us like Pennington does? Look! They left us a note ... it was Hobson! Get the phone! Well, now that everyone ' s up, lef s send someone for doughnuts and go down and keep Debbie company on late desk. Not me; I have a paper to type. But would you bring me a maple bar? Sure.

Dr. Lee, a former missionary to India and pastor of the Pasadena Church of the Nazarene, spoke both in chapel services and in evening sessions which were held in Kershner Lecture Hall. His chapel messages centered around what he called the greatest and simplest invitation ever given by anybody — the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 11:28: Come to me and I will give you rest— al l of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke (LB). Based on the central verse, Matthew 11:28, Dr. Lee gave audiences a list of five ' s delineated in the verse beginning with the Invitation — Come. His theme in the evening meetings was The Cycle of Victorious Living in Psalm 37. The cycle, Dr. Lee said, is composed of four actions by the believer— Commitment, trust, delight, and rest. Dr. Lee ' s insights were well-received and appreciated by those who attended his three-day session. 1) Dr. Earl Lee explains the simplicity of Christ ' s invitation for salvation. (2) Waiting for the evening session to begin are Clair and Pat Thomas. (3) Dr. Lee gives some helpful advice on marriage as he speaks to the dynamics of the Christian Family class.

(7) School nurse Carolyn Staples awards Loren Hester a homemade cer- tificate for being the 2,000th donor in the history of George Fox blood drives. 106 Deeper Life Conference Donations accepted Three times during the year, students were called on to give literally out of the goodness of their hearts— in the form of blood donations. And they gave. The total number of pints collected for the whole year was 299, with Edwards residents showing the highest percentage of participation fall term and Pennington winning out in the winter and spring. Last year ' s total, by comparison, was 384 pints. The annual blood drives help provide the 425 pints of blood daily needed to supply 80 hospitals from Gray ' s Harbor, Washington, clear down to the California border. The entire area is covered by the same Bloodmobile and a staff of about seven people; each blood drive at George Fox requires about 20 additional volunteers. But ifs worth it. The Pacific Northwest region claims the distinction of drawing 11% of its blood supply form colleges and universities, 3.2 percentage points above the national average. The staff seems to enjoy collecting from George Fox. Red Cross nurses practically fight to get on our blood drives because the attitude, the Christian conduct, is so noticeable, said Carolyn Staples, the school nurse. Ifs really a testimony. Ifs not only a testimony to the nurses. Ask anyone who has ever needed blood. Blood Drive 107 A day woven wi th delight To most people, it ' s just the beginning of another month, but to George Fox students it ' s a bustling day-long celebration, complete with royalty. This year ' s festivities were conducted under the scepter of King Werner Seibert and Queen Debbie Dominy, whose orders were to obey the real King, Jesus, by treating each person in a way that would please Him. The remainder of the court was filled by Jeannette Myers and Russ Schmidt, Glynnis Polk and Gregg Griffin, Molly Coyner and Paul Cozens, and Pam Geagel and Steve Blikstad. After the coronation, members of the freshman class, dressed in Tyrolean outfits, did a European dance and wound the Maypole. Then visitors dispersed to sample the booths, shows, and concessions on the patio by the fountain, including target games, woodburning, and pottery-making. Later in the day, GFC student Dale Hauser put on a puppet show and ventriloquist act, and the Kit-N-Kaboodle European-style clown troupe played to a gathering on the lawn. The whole crowd shifted Icoation in time to see the big game — powderpuff football. In a rough-and-tumble struggle, the two teams fought for points, but the Edwards team scored only one touchdown losing 21 to 6 to their opponents, Penn ll-off campus. Ending the day with a SAGA barbeque and going home in a mixed parade of sunburns, alpine skirts and grass-stained shorts, most participants would agree that May Day was a delightful way to welcome spring. 108 May Day (1) Dan Williams and Nancy Stephenson are en- thralled by the command performance of the American Kit-N-Kabodle Theatre Company.

It was Rolf; he had seen them. Their eyes locked for a long, tense moment. Then: No one out here, he reported. The story of nine people ' s struggle against invading political tyranny; of a young woman ' s struggle to make a family out of seven virtually orphaned children; of their father ' s struggle to understand his feelings about her— all these components combined tell the story of Maria von Trapp. Re-enacting the true story, George Fox ' s talented singers and musicians played to a full house for four nights. They made audiences laugh at Maria ' s misplaced exuberance in the abbey, Uncle Max ' s egotism, the von Trapp children ' s clever tongues; they made them smile at Liesel ' s first kiss and the wedding of the Captian and Maria. Of course, the name of the play was The Sound of Music, and rightly so. From the beautiful nun ' s chorus to the rollicking Lonely Goatherd to tender Edelweiss, Maria barely took a breath. She sang to the Mother Abbess and to the Nazis. She sang to feel better and to say goodbye. The rest of the cast joined her in other favorites: Do-Re-Mi, I am Sixteen, Going on Seventeen, Climb Every Mountain, and a couple of songs that were new to many, An Ordinary Couple and How Can Love Survive? With a list of songs so famous that nearly everyone could have sung along, the auditorium truly was alive with the Sound of Music. (1) Rolf and Liesel sing of being Sixteen Going on Seventeen. (2) Though they are anything but, Maria and the Captian sing An Ordinary Couple. (3) The children gather around Maria ' s bed and try to forget the storm outside while she sings Lonely Goatherd.

What was Inter-Mission 1977-78? The group, in the fifth year, consisted of five guys and four girls chosen by audition who performed a variety of short, dramatic sketches. With minimal props and costumes, they played at churches, banquets, and anywhere else they were asked to visit. The sketches, usually written by the dramatists themselves, ranged from narrative poems to dramas performed by feet. (Yes, feet!) One sketch dealt with removing masks, another with climbing the ladder of success, and another with seemingly nothing at all. This last featured Tim Small as the Guru who, surrounded by rapt disciples, pronounced such proverbial gems as It is best not to remove a fly from the head of a friend with a hatchet and Castles in the air . . . cost a lot to keep up. Most of the sketches were designed to provoke audiences to think about important things like love, communication, and worship by means of symbols and allegories. The prupose of Inter-Mission was to glorify God through insights into daily life. lnter-Mission 115 (1) R.A.

Thafs not really the way it reads, but sometimes the R A. ' s must have felt like it was. The actual job description for the position of R.A., or Resident Assistant, states that the R.A. is expected to attend the weekly R.A. class, spend an hour a week with his Resident Director, keep an informative journal, monitor student behavior, conduct floor meetings and activities, and assist students in all areas of growth, to name just a few of the responsibilities. But, said one R.A., the hardest part of the job is having to stay at the dorm on duty during things like basketball games, movies, trips to Plush Pippin .... Of course, there were good points, too. One of the highlights for this year ' s R.A. ' s was a new experience called Walkabout. Spending eight days in the Three Sisiters Wilderness Area, in the snow and rain, they faced difficult situations like repelling off a mountain, a first for many of them. The lessons learned about leadership, servanthood, and endurance prepared them to handle the challenges that arose in each living area throughout the year. With this kind of training, the R.A. ' s were forced to grow. They bonded themselves together with everything from prayer to riduculous games to form a supportive community united in their purpose: helping each resident get the most benefit our of the school year.

The Bruins placed a close second in district and sent seven men to nationals in Texas, though they qualified more. Of the 65 teams who scored and the many others who didn ' t score, the seven GFC track men never placed less than twelveth in any event. Chad Neely, who had three individual school records and nine school records as part of a relay team, placed second in the nation in the 400 meter intermediate hurdles. Steve Blikstad and Chad Neely were chosen as All-Americans at the national meet. In the 10,000 meters Dave Molstad was the district champion and Gregg Griffin won the 100 and 200 meter run at district. The team as a whole this year was more well- balanced than it has ever been. Receiving team awards were Mark Driesner as Most Improved, Alan Morrow as Most Inspirational and Chad Neely received Most Valuable, scoring the most points for his team. Ending the season with three wins, one second place, one third place and a tie for 16th at nationals, Coach Allen was pleased with his team. Rich Allen who was voted Coach of the Year by all the district coaches, said of the Bruins, They were always willing to pay the price to win. Men ' s Track 119 Standing in the cold rain It was the worst season in track and field I remember, weatherwise, said Randy Winston, girls ' track coach, concerning the 1977-78 season. Every meet but one, we had rain, wind, hail, . . . Perhaps owing to the bad weather, a number of George Fox ' s best competitors were injured. Vicki Morgan, holder of the school record in the 200 and 400 meter dashes, pulled a thigh muscle and missed a number of meets. Sue Banta tore every ligament in her ankle, causing her to miss six or seven months of training, but still took seventh in javelin regionals. Karen Maxwell, voted Most Valuable on the team, ran all season on a stress fracture and even broke a seven-year-old conference record in the 100 meter hurdles, as well as setting a school record in the 400 meter hurdles. Despite injuries and bad weather, Sue, Karen and teammate Mary Ann Mason, with a new record in the 440 yard dash, were chosen Women ' s Conference of Independent Colleges All-Stars. Karen also established records in two new Bruin events, the pentathlon, and the 800 meter run, and Lynette Phillips broke the record for shot. But talent is only half the battle. The other half is depth. Coach Winston explained that with only eleven girls, even if all the girls won their events, the larger state colleges and universities would come out on top by virtue of the accumulated second and third place points alone. Because of this, there were some disappointing meets for the Bruins, but they supported and encouraged each other in a tremendous show of team unity. At the end of the year, in addition to Karen Maxwell ' s Most Valuable award, Michelle DeFrees was named Most Improved and Lynn Watton, for the second year in a row, Most Inspirational. Around girls like these, Winston hopes to build a larger team next year. ! Women ' s Track 121 (1) In a sacrifice play, Mary Kay Hansen lets the ball go by.

The Bruins had an excellent pitching staff, good fielding, and adequate depth, making them a very competitive team. For the most part, Coach Dee Bright felt the team played weii as they ended the season with a 6-6 overall record. But there were moments when, said Coach Bright, We had what it took to get us over the edge but we just didn ' t put it together at the right times. Ofie point was all the Bruins ever lost by, putting that final edge just out of reach. It was a fun season. One of the many unusual expereicnes the women encountered was playing softball in the snow when they traveled to Ashland and Klamath Falls. If everyone who is expected to return participates again next year, the Bruins will have a good nucleus for a strong team. The bruins had some outstanding individual athletes this year, as recognized by the fact that they had two representatives on the Women ' s Conference of Independent Colleges (WCIC) All- Star team. Shelley Webster was chosen as the first team pitcher and Joni Snyder was first team centerfielder. Named to the Conference All-Star Honorable Mention team were Jo Wester (infield) and Kelley Davidson and Lois Hantho (outfield.) Team awards at the seasonal banquet went to Shelley Webster, Most Valuable and Most Inspirational, and Lois Hantho, Most Improved. Another award, voted on by all GFC women athletes, was the 1977-78 outstanding Female Athlete. The award was presented to Joni Snyder for her strong contribution and participation in Volleyball, Basketball and Softball. Softball 123 Communication breeds unity Long road trips . . . lonely games . . . and hours of computer baseball was the story of the GFC Bruin baseball team. The Bruins, without a home field, spent the entire season on the road. But the strain of constant travel and the psychological difficulty of playing away from home forced each player to grow both athletically and spiritually, and the skills and confidence gained will be an asset next year. The relatively young team had an overall record of 10-19, with four of those losses going to the undefeated sixth-ranked team in the nation, Lewis and Clark State in Lewiston, Idaho. The competition was tough, but the experience gained was profitable for all the players. When the team traveled to Ashland, Oregon, they defeated the eventual Evergreen Conference Champions, Southern Oregon State College. The victory was a big boost for team spirit and provided a high point for the travel-weary Bruins. Team goals were set high. One goal, communication, became an important aspect of team unity. Craig Taylor, coach of the baseball team, said, Communication between players and coaches during hard times is crucial. Honesty and truth must always be there. To stay open is hard but it is a worthwhile goal. Several players won special honors. At the banquet which concluded the season, Mahlon Lott was voted Most Inspirational; Most Improved went to Dan Vogt, and Bruce Rh ues received the Most Valuable Player award. On a larger scale, Wes Rogers was chosen as a member of Sports Ambassadors for his consistent, outstanding performance. Sports Ambassadors, a Christian organization, chooses ail-American baseball, basketball and soccer teams to travel abroad, competing against loca and national teams and sharing the Gospel. Coach Taylor was excited about next year. With no one graduating from the team, a lot of potential can be further developed. Things look good for the Bruins next year, and if all goes well, they will be able to play some games at home. 124 BasebaII ■ (1) Ernie Sturzinger, John Cederholm and Gayle Beebe hold a conference between innings.

It was a very young team with five freshmen and one junior. Roger Barnett, coach of the Women ' s Tennis team, worked many hours with the team developing an attacking offense and helping the girls improve their individual skills. Though the rainy spring caused the women to miss many hours of practice, the weather didn ' t seem to dampen their spirits. Junior, Lynn Graham provided the leadership and experience the team needed and was chosen as team captain. The girls worked at adapting to the intensity of college competition and several coaching backgrounds into one. Coach Barnett was pleased with his team and said, It was a good season because we won some matches people didn ' t expect us to win. Next season promises to be even better if enough of the girls return. The GFC tennis team will be competitive next year and, said Barnett, Should place at least second in the conference.

Staff 131 What we wouldn ' t do to please you Students would rather have potatoe chips than green noodles, SAGA Food Service Manager Jim Talbot found out. In compliance with the results of a student survey circulated in the spring preceding the 1977-78 school year, the meal program was switched to a modified nutrition program this past year which featured, as one of its more controversial elements, noodles made with spinach but eliminated potatoe chips, rich desserts, and some other junk food favorites in an effort to provide GFC students with better nutrition. Some liked the change; some could not quite get accustomed to raw sugar in their tea and yogurt for dessert. But Jim was only trying to do what the students asked. One example of his willingness to help was the weight watchers program this year, started at the request of a single student. Since it is a sound, healthy diet, SAGA Jim agreed. He also provided food for all school-sponsored trips, retreats, and banquets. Special events such as the Easter egg hunt, beach picnic, and some holiday dinners were included in the budget along with the three study breaks. The Minority Student Union and Surprise Your Roommate dinners were not part of the standard SAGA program, but they paid for themselves with volunteer workers and a small additional fee. SAGA Jim wants to help students. But in spite of his good intentions, he said that many students this year complained but they just weren ' t aware of the reasons for the changes, and in fact, the majority of the students liked them. For those who didn ' t there is this consolation: no more green noodles (after these on hand are used up.) Recent studies show they are no more nutritious than regular ones. 132 SAGA (1) Morning Cook, Sharon Holdahl, fills a pan with delicious surprises. (2) Making cookies is one of the many jobs of baker Wilma Nichols. (3) Cheri Martin and Sheri Hansen dish up the food for hungry students.

SAGA 133 A sense of unity Mellow is the word one professor used to describe the 1977-78 school year. President David LeShana seemed to agree; nothing catastrophic happened, but many good things went on. The communication between administration and students through the Central Committee was good. Students were supportive of the administration ' s efforts, and the senior class even went so far as to give a gift of $500 to be matched three-to-one by the student body and then matched by the administration for more library books. Their eventual goal is $12,000 total. This is the first time in a considerable while, said Dr. LeShana, that students have expressed such concern for academic quality. Perhaps begi nning with the training the R.A. ' s received on Walkabout, another good thing happened: the students seemed to feel a sense of unity. Faculty staff devotions, started in May, also helped establish Christian fellowship on campus. This year ' s highlight, however, was undoubtedly the dedication of four new buildings on the same day: Wheeler Sports Center, Hoover Academic Building, and Sutton- Macy Residence Halls. Few institutions can make a claim like that. It is difficult to achieve a balance between faith and learning, but with the progress made this year Dr. LeShana feels George Fox is arriving at its goal. Plans for the next year include one change of administrative personnel due to the decision of Gene Habecker, Dean of Students, to travel to Michigan State University for his Ph.D. in Higher Education. The students appreciated his work this year. 134 Administration (1) Dr. David LeShana, President, lets his friend- ly personality show through as he talks with a student. (2) Business Manager Don Millage finds that there are enough funds to complete the new Fine Arts building. (3) With care and concern Dean William Green keeps the college running smoothly.

The high point of Division V this year was the Christian Education Conference, which was organized by Julia Hobbs, Gene Hockett, and interested students and drew a large turn-out from all over the Northwest. Arrangements for another conference, the annual Quaker Heritage Week, were made by Arthur Roberts. Many other religion professors were asked to speak for various classes and groups, and all attended meetings either nationally or regionally. Several part-time instructors helped broaden the class schedule, among them Quentin Nrodyke, Norval Hadley, Gary Fawver, Richard Foster, William Vermillion, and Ron Hotrum. The new religion office in Wood-Mar was made available to them and also provided a place for seminary representatives to confer with students. Eventually, however, the division will move into the Milo Ross Fine Arts Center. A gift from emeritus professor Paul Mills and his wife Wilma has been designated to help furnish the new student waiting room with Quaker pictures and decor. 144 Religion (1) Students spent many hours each week in the Bible Literature labs as part of class re- quirements.

(6) Bringing a message in song are Phil and Rhoda Friesen and Linda and Rob Booth during senior chapel. (7) One of the many fine musical groups brought in is the Azusa Pacific College Male Chorale. 146 Chapel Something for everyone Three times a week, every week, you had to decide: will I go to chapel assembly today? The answer usually depended on what was happening that day, who else was going, and how many times you had already missed that week. But Chaplain Ron Crecelius worked hard at making each assembly beneficial to students. He scheduled special musicians, speakers, drama groups, films, and student sharing chapels which provided something for just about everyone. The gathering served two purposes: to enrich Christian growth and to let students know what was going on around campus. Collegiate Challenge, a voluntary prayer meeting on Wednesday nights, was also a part of the effort to improve the spiritual climate on campus. Organized by Student Chaplain Clair Thomas, the meetings included a variety of films, music, and messages. (1) Taking a break from his classes, Tom Head tends to other business.

(7) Cathy Thorn- burg, secretary for Division VI, gives a little speech at her going away party. 148 Social Science Serving others Social science underwent some changes this year, from the merging of two psychology classes with other social based courses to the transfer into Hoover Academic Building. Members of the division participated in a number of activities. Mike Allen, who taught a gerontology class, worked with the elderly residents of Friendsview Manor and Chehalem Care Center. Bruce Longstroth, Assistant Professor of Social Science, was involved with numerous community and state social service agencies in which students were placed as interns, one of those being Newberg Human Resources Services. Division leader Lee Nash had the chance to speak at several historical societies, and Tom Head, of economics, spoke at Reedwood Friends Church in Portland about various social issues. A welcome addition to the staff was Doug McKenna in the psychology department. The division forged ahead in other areas also. They co-sponsored Quaker Heritage Week with Division V. They also sent student delegates to the Model United Nations representing the countries of Cyprus, U.S.S.R. and Turkey, held at Willamette University, University of Oregon and Seattle Pacific University. The Model United Nations was founded by Mr. Karlin Capper- Johnson who also started the program on campus. This is a small-scale duplication of the actual United Nations organization, designed for college students. It will be offered as a class next fall. With all these things happening, Division VI anticipates another good year next year. Social Science 149 (1) Keeping themselves amused while waiting for class to begin are Paula Page and Diane Widmer. (2) Cindy Whitaker polishes her note- taking technique.

This year ' s graduation featured the Commencement Dinner for sponsors, the Alumni Dinner for seniors and older alumni, and a special breakfast on graduation day. Then came baccalaureate with musical numbers by the A Cappella choir and a message by Carl Lundquist. Finally the big event was underway: Commencement itself. An exhortational message by Josh McDowell, urging seniors to make it worth it all and let God use them to leaven the world, was augmented by music from Roger Wilhite and the GFC band. After that, the diplomas were presented. And that was it. No more programs, no more gatherings — just a shower of congratulations as each graduate set his sights toward his next goal, whatever it might be. Upon leaving the halls of George Fox College, these students received honorable recognition: American College Student of the Year: Craig Mclndoo, Benson Scholars: Linda Booth and Jon Chandler, American Association of University Women Outstanding Senior Woman: Sue Burson, Senior Music Performance Award: Craig Mclndoo and Roger Wilhite, Outstanding Physical Education Major: Joel Leisy, Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges: Sue Burson, Jon Chandler, Paul Cozens, Steve Duke, Carrie Lamm, Craig Mclndoo, Jeanette Myers, Sheldon Rich, Claudia Vick. 152 Craduation (1) Dr. David LeShana, President of George Fox, congratulates retiring student body president Jon Chandler.

Graduation 155 Ideals Are Like Stars In this world of casual carelessness It ' s discouraging to try To keep our morals and standards and our Ideals High . . . We are ridiculed and laughed at by the smart sophisticate Who proclaims in brittle banter that such things are out of date . . . But no life is worth the living unless it ' s built on truth, And we lay our life ' s foundation in the golden years of youth . . . So allow no one to stop you or hinder you from laying A frim and strong foundation made of Faith and Love and Praying . . . And remember that Ideals are like Stars Up In The Sky, You can never really reach them, hanging in the heavens high . . . 156 Closing But like the mighty mariner who sailed the storm-tossed sea, And used the Stars To Chart His Course with skill and certainty, You too can Chart Your Course in Life With High Ideals and Love, For High Ideals are Like the Stars that light the sky above . . . You cannot ever reach them, but Lift Your Heart Up High And your Life will be as Shining as the Stars Up In The Sky.

L ' AMI was the name selected by the student body from a group of titles suggested by the students in a naming contest conducted by the staff. The word is French and means the friend. The annual hopes to preserve in photographs and print the memories of college friendships, familiar buildings, useful organization, and worthwhile activities. It ' s sponsors hope and believe that it may become a permanent and desirable part of Pacific College life. 1935 L ' AMI -page 28 Keeping in mind the goals of that first yearbook staff, the 77-78 L ' AMI staff also tried to capture the uniqueness of campus life here at George Fox College. It was a special year for many of the students. For some it was their first year away from home, for some it was the last year before facing the world on their own. For the rest, it was the excitement of meeting new people, excellent athletic seasons and, of course, the knowledge gained from another year of higher education. But it ' s over now and all that is left are good friendships and many memories. Hopefully in looking through this book those memories will be refreshed time after time in the years ahead. A special thanks goes to Harper Row, Publishers for giving permission to reprint the poem True Friendship from Words of Life. Thanks also goes to Ron Braithwaite, Rachel Brewster, Rob Claiborne, Jack Lyda, Tim Mecham and Bryan Price who have helped with printing and taking pictures used in the book. Thank you Devon Jones, Steve Jones, Jean Peters, Cindy Whitaker and Mary Woodall for contributing your ' time and effort, and the Administration and Faculty Staff for being so patient and helpful in answering all our questions.
