My floor used lumber and tires on our raft. We were busy all week hammering, tying, and strapping to- gether anything that looked seaworthy. I soon found out there was more to this raft race business than just a leisure- ly three-mile float down the Willamette. We were allowed to use oars only. All six of us had to be on the raft when we finished the race, too. But first thing in the water, we tipped over! The bright sunshine didn ' t chase the chill out of the water, either! No one wanted to get back on, but once we did, it was smooth sailing all the way. At least we didn ' t sink, like one unhap- py group. Although the six-year-old record of 65 minutes stood fast, some of my friends, The Kansas Kids, stroked into first place with a time of 80 minutes and 30 seconds for a dinner at Sweet Tibbie Dunbar in Portland. A raft called 2:30 a.m. (which was when the raft was finished) won a trip to the Organ Grinder. The third place crew, The Drifters, were treated to some famous Plush Pippin pie. And of 14 rafts, ours came to dock in tenth place. Boy, did I sleep well that night! I i Jesus, not Jack-o-Lanterns, honored on Halloween What? No Halloween party? Ben Bauer, the activities director, really caught my attention that morning in chapel. But then he went on to ex- plain the unusual announcement. Throughout history. Halloween has been steeped in pagan rituals which honored or appeased Satan and evil spirits. After investigating the nature of Halloween, Ben though it unfitting for a Christian college to celebrate this holi- day. He said he had decided on a Har- vest party that would honor Jesus in- stead of Satan. (I could have cheered!) At the party, John Strutz reinforced this theme by leading us in singing and bringing a devotional. Laura Clark also praised God in song. Cookies and cider were served. Cos- tumes were optional, but many used their creativity to appear in zany dress. Costume judging was decided by au- dience applause. Top winners were the Macy 2 girls, who dazzled us all with their silver foil chocolate kisses costumes and their own rendition of Too Sweet to be True. Making a late entrance but still win- ning the audience ' s approval were Butch Hart, Tim Sherman, Steve Morgan and Mike Ogden. Using balloon grapes, colored tissue paper, and other trappings, they came as the Fruit of the Loom label. Jeanine Wendt and Steve Wolf gur- gled and gooed their way to third place in their baby costumes. The party was a success, and we all discovered you don ' t have to glorify Satan to have fun. 12 Halloween 4 (1) With song and dance and chocolate kiss costumes the Macy 2 girls sweet talk themselves into the hearts of all. (2) A creative Pennington resident uses the old pumpkin carving tradition to honor Jesus. (3) Cheryl Pickett and Kim Duncan graciously await the judges decision. (4) Little Bo Peep and her sheep, otherwise known as Karen Maxwell and Joyce Yates, find their way to the Harvest Party without getting lost. Halloween 13 - (1) Pennington invites everyone to join in t he Love of Christmas, Jesus! (2) Mary Kay Hansen and Wendy Augustin draw close showing their love for Christmas and the camera. (3) Karen Peterson displays the true gift of Christmas. (4) Ron Crecelius surveys the celebrating in Ed- wards before reading the Nativity Story. (5) With bag over his shoulder, Santa, Mahlon Lott, ho ho ho ' s his way into Pennington. (6) Lori Klopfen- stein and Melodi McBride snuggle for some Christmas warmth. (7) Hiding behind the branches, Debbie Driesner and Bonnie Powell work to trim the tree. 14 Christmas Christmas parties bring pause from hectic studies Amidst the midnight cramming for finals and the last- minute term papers, my sleepless friends and I paused to wish Jesus a happy birthday. Each living area seemed to have their own way of celebrating. They had a great time in Pennington by inviting faculty and staff members to judge skits put on by each floor. My own dorm, H.M.S., also performed floor skits for each other, being spurred on by a surprise visit from Santa. The girls in Edwards trimmed a tow- ering tree beautifully for their party. Then they had goodies while Ron Cre- celius read the Christmas story. They also did something I ' d never heard of before: in a special box each girl put a piece of paper telling of the gift they wanted to give Christ. My friends in the apartments weren ' t left out of the fun, either. The Weesnerites carolled their way to Colo- nial Village, an apartment complex in Newberg, and also decorated a tree for an elderly couple. Begrudgingly we returned to our books, but all with full stomachs and the warmth of the Christmas Spirit. Christmas 15 Christian Life, Quaker Heritage stress better relations with God and others Peering into the past, examining the present, and approaching the future was all a part of Christian Life week. Dr. Robert Hess, from Malone College, spurred my mind into action by speak- ing about the many different relation- ships a Christian encounters throughout his life. In both the evening meetings and the daily chapel services, Dr. Hess ' messages on our relationships with ourselves, our friends and our God, combined with the singing of praises, brought all of us closer together in the bonds of love and fellowship. The extension of our arms in broth- erhood and our hearts in prayer along with the proclamation of the Gospel throughout the world was the theme of Quaker Heritage week. Again Dr. Hess provoked our minds, this time with the necessity and urgency of sh aring our faith with everyone around us, living our lives with Sensitivity, Obedience, and Sharing (SOS) towards both man and God. The other speakers involved in presenting their work with us were Paul and Phyllis Cammack, John and Laura Trachsel, Quentin Nordyke. Ron Stansell and Arthur Roberts, encom- passing Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Alaska, and the Far East. 16 Christian Emphasis— Quaker Heritage (1) Ron Stansell talks to the students about the Christian ' s responsibility in foreign countries. (2) Relationships and the importance of fel- lowship is Dr. Hess ' topic for the week. (3) A friendly smile is typical of Florene Nordyke. (4) Kim Duncan and Dave Cadd listen as the speaker presents new ideas concerning Christian Emphasis. (5) Contemplating the speakers message Tad Cobb takes a few moments to let it sink in. (6) Evangelism is something that all Christians must be aware of, as Ron Stansell em- phasizes. Christian Emphasis— Quaker Heritage 17 I ■ j 1.

Cool blue tablecloths garnished with matching blue and violet flowers set the scene for an elegant Winter Banquet at the Hilton Hotel in Portland. The even- ing proved to be one of the highlights of a cold, gray winter. Besides myself, 109 other people en- joyed the fruit salad, braised swiss steak and chocolate rum cake that was served. After dinner, however, I was a little disappointed to learn that Ron Sals- bury, the guest speaker, was unable to land at the Portland airport because of fog. But the songs and jokes of Larry Roberts, the M.C. of the banquet and the program director at KXL radio sta- tion in Portland, almost made me forget the mishap. Larry spoke from personal experiences and ended the evening on a happy note. Ben Bauer, activities director, told me that the Lord must have had other plans for the evening and for Ron Salsbury, but in the end, everything added up to a great winter evening out.

Riding the Bruin Express to a victory is Darcy Weisner. 20 Homecoming Coronation, pep rally, ball game add life to Homecoming weekend I thought I would burst with excite- ment before Cindy Whitaker, Janell Almquist, Sheryl Chandler, Becky Grammer, and Debbie Roberts made their way down the aisle in Wood-Mar Auditorium to take their places on the stage. They all looked so pretty! Which one would become the 1978-79 Homecoming Queen? Everyone waited tensely for Shelley Webster, last year ' s queen, to place the crown on her successor. It seemed like it was just minutes later that we were relaxing to the music of Istvan Nada ' s with junior princess Janell Almquist bearing the crown and the title. Saturday started off with a bang as we watched the 1970-74 basketball alumni play the 1975-78 team. What a thriller! Afterwards the cheerleaders held a pep rally for the 1978-79 basketball team. It included Gregg Griffin running off with the Mr. Cool title by keeping his feet in buckets of ice longer than Gary Chenault could. Meanwhile, the •rest of the team vied for victory in relay races by riding tricycles built for four- year- olds. At the basketball game that night, Janell exhorted us to trust in Christ to give us a sense of direction and power to face the obstacles and challenges of ■our lives. She encouraged us to say ' yes ' to Christ, ' y es ' to Me, ar d be all we were meant to be through Him. Janell, the alumni, and the rest of us then cheered the basketball team on to a 78-76 victory over Warner Pacific, winning in the last few seconds by Phil Barnhart ' s twenty-foot shot.

The day for showing someone that you love him or her. This year we had a chance to show our love for one of our brothers, as well as for our sweethearts. Many of us will never forget that dreadful night when Dave Scott was stabbed in his chest several times in Portland. God, watching over Dave, sent many good Samaritans to his aid. Chrysanthemums and daisies were sold in Heacock Commons on Valen- tine ' s Day, with all of the proceeds being given to Dave to pay for some of his medical bills. Many of us jumped at this chance to help Dave and, at the same time, send a flower to a friend. The day was not without its share of hearts, either. The freshman class pro- vided heart-shaped cookies for sale with personalized messages for those special people in our lives. Flowers and heart-shaped cookies were not the only evidences that GFC students loved and cared for the people around them. Giving blood in the GFC blood drives suddenly gained new sig- nificance because of Dave Scott ' s need for blood. Each term resulted in record- breaking amounts of blood being given. Fall term reached an all-time high of 177 pints, winter term had a high of 137 pints, and a spring term record of 110 pints was set. This was an overall average of 24 percent of the full-time student enrollment. Carolyn Staples, the school nurse, felt that both winter and spring highs were because it (the stabbing) hit so close to home, many students realized how important giving blood is. Many of us discovered that the ap- prehension and discomfort of giving blood was far outweighed by the satisfaction of helping another person, whether it was someone we had never met, or a fellow student like Dave.

This profound statement made by William Pannell was only one of the many which had a significant impact on me as I attended several of the Deeper Life Conference meetings. Dr. Pannell, an assistant professor of evangelism at Fuller Seminary, stressed the importance of the cross in our lives. He said the cross allows each Christian, you and I, to have integrity inside, strip- ping us naked and relieving us of the need to put on masks before God. Only through the cross is man enabled to see his condition, and it is through the cross that reconciliation between God and man, as well as man and man, occurs. The Deeper Life Conference made it clear that this reconciliation can only take place through Christian growth and a willingness to be molded and shaped by God ' s hand. The importance of being open to God ' s will was also the theme of the Missions Conference, as emphasized in the biblical text for the conference, II Timothy 4:6: For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. Bud Schaefer, a former pro-basketball player, spoke to all of us in chapel con- cerning the importance of our commit- ment to fulfilling the Great Commission of going out and preaching the gospel, teaching people about God, whether at home or in a foreign land. These two separate conferences, the Missions Conference and the Deeper Life Conference, both made me realize the importance of being ready to accept whatever God has in store for me and being open to His word so that growth can occur in my life.

Activities Directors Ken Beebe and Jim LeShana knew what to do when May Day dawned cloudy. They made their own out-of-doors and introduced some of their own new ideas. Saturday in the Park was this year ' s theme. The day started off at a buffet breakfast, with ragtime music provided by Brad Rickey. From there it progress- ed to Miller Gymnasium, which Ken and Jim had decorated with trees and picnic tables to give it the park effect. Queen Debbi Egger, escorted by King Kevin McBride, was crowned by last year ' s queen Debbie Seibert. Then we all watched members of the freshman class wind their way around the Maypole. I especially enjoyed the new activities and booths that were added this year. A new stage show, such as Inter-Mission, a barbershop quartet, or a Dixieland band, performed every 45 minutes. The Old-Fashioned Picture Booth was great fun, dressing up in old clothes and pos- ing for Tim Mecham ' s camera. Chuck Hernandez and Deena Owens even drew caricatures, while silent movies were shown upstairs. The pie-throwing booth was a nice surprise too, but I liked the booth that featured clown-face painting best. A disappointment to many was the lack of a faculty-student Softball game due to the rain, but Ken and Jim set up a net in the gym and we all played volleyball instead. So, although it was rainy outside, my spirits weren ' t dampened, thanks to Ken ' s and Jim ' s ingenuity. May Day 27 Hester Gymnasium converted to Fine Arts and Religion center Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltry and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon loud cymbals: praise him with high sounding cymbals. Let every- thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 150 That ' s what we did when the momen- tous day finally arrived: the official dedication of the Milo C. Ross Center, home of the divisions of Fine Arts and Religion. As students, faculty, alumni and friends, we were once again given the opportunity to join together in thanking God for his bounteous gifts, the Milo C. Ross Center being only one of five buildings erected in the last two years. Built on the foundations of the former Hester Gymnasium, the new building, when completed, bore little resem- blance to the old structure I remem- bered. The only reminder left by the workmen besides the frame itself was the Hester Choral Room. Special events took place throughout the day. Dr. James Houston, President of Regents College in Vancouver, British Columbia, brought a special message during chapel time. In the evening, several mini-concerts featuring the band, the choir and a flute harp- sichord concert by fa culty members Chris Lauinger and Dave Howard were part of the dedication of the Reli- gion Fine Arts building. And we all felt very honored that Istva ' n Na ' da ' s, resi- dent artist from Hungary, climaxed the evening with an incomparable recital. 28 Dedication of Fine Arts 1.

Dedication of Fine Arts 29 Chapel, Collegiate Challenge meet spiritual needs It ' s a big job, Ron Crecelius, GFC ' s chaplain, told me, coming out of chapel one Wednesday morning, but I ' ve never received as many compliments as this year. Ron said his goal was not just to book the chapel schedule full, but to follow a graph of our needs and then attempt to meet them. From what I heard around campus, I think he came pretty close. Some of my personal favorites were music groups like Steve and Maria, Dan Whitemore, and Pam Mark Hall. And we had some exceptional speakers- like Richard Foster, Dr. Keith Phillips, and Sam Alvord — which really inspired me to stretch my faith. Collegiate Challenge, another aid to our spiritual health on campus, also flourished this year. Werner Seibert, the student chaplain, was in charge and worked closely with Chaplain Ron, who couldn ' t say enough about what a ter- rific job Werner did. Werner ac- complished some long-standing goals this year, one of which was making a Collegiate Challenge banner with the help of Esther Hopper; and he schedul- ed some especially interesting Col- legiate Challenge programs, such as the Albrecht, Roley and Moore concert and Mike Hike ' s speech on sexuality. Several informal films were also shown— although not always on Wed- nesday nights— dealing with topics like nuclear energy, world hunger, preserv- ing the whale population, the promo- tion of commercial infant formula in underdeveloped countries, and the political situation in South Africa. The meetings that were held in the dorms were very popular, with attendance up to an approximate average of 35 per meeting. Werner and Ron felt this size met our individual needs better than larger groups would have. Together, Ron and Werner function- ed as a highly efficient and cooperative team of chaplain and student chaplain. 30 Chapel-Collegiate Challenge 1. Quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, Jim Zorn, shared his testimony and some humorous experiences as a pro football player. 2.

Chapel-Collegiate Challenge 31 World hunger problem examined by concerned group A desire to truly take a look at the world, instead of merely viewing our own secure campus, spawned a series of student-initiated hunger awareness activities this year at George Fox. Geared toward awakening our interest in local and international need, the ac- tivities, were coordinated by a grass roots organization of students (Bruce Allen, Tad Cobb, John Comfort, Al Crackenberg, Dan Feil, Rob Hunter, Jennifer Johnson, Paul Koch, Dave Olson, and Chris Yentes) . They involv- ed a movie, a guest speaker, a Third World dinner, and a Serve-a-thon. Opening the four events was Beyond the Next Harvest, a disturb- ing documentary film emphasizing mal- nutrition as a world concern. Following the film, a member of Portland Clergy and Laiety Concerned, Charles Gray, shared with those of us attending and led a discussion. Speaker for an evening session was Fred Gregory of Reedwood Friends Church, Portland, a former World Relief Commission worker. He gave us facts about the hunger problem and practical hints on how to cut down on our consumption. A Third World dinner was served in SAGA soon after. It consisted of a sumptuous banquet for about two per- cent of the student body (portrayed strikingly by our drama tour group, Inter-Mission) and rice, fish, and water for the rest of us, representing the world ' s majority. This experience brought the reality of the problem home to me in a deeply emotional way. For the climax event — the Serve-a- thon — washing windows, pulling weeds, painting and dusting were chores performed by some of us for Newberg ' s inhabitants. Others of us played big brother and big sister to foster children and treated them with a field trip to the Portland Zoo. Pledges collected per hour of service were donated to the Mennonite Central Committee for agricultural development and relief work in the devastated Kalahari tribe of Botswana, Africa— a total of over $1,200. This enlightening series of events im- pressed upon me just how blessed I was to have ample food, clothing, and shelter, and the importance of the Biblical imperative to feed and clothe my neighbor. 32 Serve-a-thon-Third World Dinner 1. The reality of what it means to go hungry is brought home to GFC students at the Third World Dinner. 2. Scrubbing walls is one way Libby Knauf, Laura Schmeling and John Wafula do their part during the serve-a-thon. 3.

Both shared the goal of providing oppor- tunities to get beyond book learning. The Sigma Zeta science club, which was open to any science major with a qualifying GPA, met twice each term to study current issues involving modern science. The club invited speakers and chose films to be shown which they felt would, in the words of one member, get people involved and excited about what we are doing. Nonmembers were also welcome to the meetings, so I got in on a movie about a nuclear accident at Browns Ferry. Other highlights of the year were a trip up in a plane to view the solar eclipse and the sending of Jan Cam- mack and Dr. Chambers to the Sigma Zeta National Convention in Connec- ticut. The Film Society, under the leader- ship of Joe Tremblay, also was in a position to broaden my thinking and in- fluence the campus. This year some of the films shown were The Sting, The Great Race, The Rescuers, The Wind and the Lion, When Comedy was King, The Paper Chase, and The Shoes of the Fisherman. Several of these deeply affected me, while others were just for fun. Opinions differed as to what was ap- propriate for the George Fox campus, however. Some of my friends and I took opposing sides on the question of how much violence, what kind of language, and what level of morality should be the limit at campus movies, especially concerning One Flew Over the Cuckoo ' s Nest. It seemed like the entire GFC community had strong feel- ings — and very good arguments — about whether or not to show the film. The members of the Film Society, caught in the middle, debated long and search- ingly, until the problem became irrele- vant for the time being by the discovery that Cuckoo ' s Nest was to be shown on television within a week or two. Science Club-Film Society 35 Crescent, KGFC make progress, stimulate thought i I picked up an issue of the Crescent. Should Fox place less emphasis on sports? Are there advantages to genetic Christianity? How can we Christians help all those hungry people in the Third World? These were just a few of the topics I read about in the student newspaper, the Crescent, throughout the year. Other topics were equally eyecatching: racism on campus, film standards at Fox, the needs of the library. And the news articles on what my fellow students were doing were always among my favorites. Working with a tiny staff and a small budget, - first-time newspaper editor, Jean Peters, produced a number of quality issues this year which featured work submitted by student writers. Jean published some very thought-provoking editorials and made the Crescent a source of interesting information, which in turn led to some rousing discussions at the lunch table or on the patio. It was good to hear so many different opinions about things that really mattered. KGFC, under the management of Evie Pease, also made progress this year, especially toward its goal of becoming a local FM station. The sta- tion acquired two new turntables and underwent a few other refinements to improve the signal. Besides Evie, thirty students par- ticipated as D.J.s, using programming from nearly every form of noncommer- cial Christian source available. It was fun switching on the radio and hearing my friends ' voices, along with some of my favorite Christian music. KGFC, like the Crescent, was a good opportunity for Fox students to try their hand at different methods of public communication. 36 Crescent-KGFC 1.

SAGA supplied the ingredients, but members of the Union made the des- serts themselves. After eating, we were treated to good music by Sandra Archer, Maria Bales, Deborah Greenidge, and Charles Up- church, accompanied by Rick Barber and Tim Magee, then to poetry inter- pretations by Dennis Knack, Glynnis Polk, and Thomazine Weathersby. Next, Dr. Ruth Bentley, a psychologist at the University of Illinois medical school, launched the Minority Christian Student Emphasis Conference with a speech entitled Diversity within the Family. She said we should not be afraid of making mistakes in our rela- tionships with people of other races. Then we had small group discussion of stereotypes and an open question-and- answer session. The dessert was an attempt to im- prove communication between the dif- ferent races. The Minority Student Union also held weekly meetings during which minority students could share some of the special problems and tri- umphs they had. The meetings were normally open to nonmembers. Other activities included two retreats and one mini-retreat. The retreats seemed to strengthen the cohesion of the group and give a sense of God ' s guidance on campus. Toward the end of the year, the Union started a fellow- ship group which also helped. My interaction with the Minority Stu- dent Union greatly influenced my life this year and began to crumble some of the walls of misunderstanding which so often arise between people of different races. I found there is a lot to be learn- ed from each person I meet, no matter what color or nationality. Minority Student Union 39 Retreats afford chances to laugh, learn, relax Retreats— almost everyone had them; minority students, married couples, and even whole dorms took time out and got away from campus to relax and enjoy the fellowship of friends. Most of the retreats took place at the college-owned Camp Tilikum— only seven miles from the campus, but far enough away to allow us to forget the hectic studies we left behind. Tilikum retreats, which ranged from three-hour evening mini-retreats for dorms to weekend getaways for clubs, were aimed at building relationships. For the mini- retreats, Camp Tilikum Director Gary Fawver led the groups in Serendipity games, Bible studies, and group-building exercises. These allow- ed some of us to get to know the people in our dorms better, and sometimes enabled people to hash out problems which arose in the course of everyday dorm life. The Married Students Association took two weekend retreats to Tilikum ... to get better acquainted with some of the other GFC married couples, ac- cording to MSA President Ron Kocher. The first, in October, featured the movie, Solo, and challenged the six couples in attendance to figure out where they were on the mountain of their married lives. The second, held as a Valentine ' s Day retreat, drew approx- imately twenty-five people and dealt with communication. Gary Fawver, with the help of married student Rob King, was again in charge. Ron Kocher praised Fawver for the labor invested in the retreats: Gary Fawver really put a lot of work and effort into them. He did a super job. The Minority Student Union also held two weekend retreats, one at Tilikum in the fall and one at Arch Cape on the coast during the spring, in addition to attending one Tilikum mini-retreat. These retreats were organized by Ernie Cathcart (MSU advisor) and the MSU Planning Committee. The retreats were beneficial to the minority students in that they allowed them to get to know each other better and grow spiritually through playing games, having devo- tionals, singing, and talking. MSU President Rod Sanders said of the retreats, They were really good for the MSU as far as getting to know each other was concerned. People who didn ' t come to the MSU meetings came to the retreats. This allowed us to learn more about each other and the MSU. Because of these benefits of a retreat, other groups had retreats throughout the year, including the concert band and the a cappella choir (which used them for practice and fellowship), the resident assistants, and engaged couples. Attending them, for me, was often a time of relaxation, fun and fellowship, and spiritual renewal. 1. Gary Fawver, director of Camp Tilikum, is sur- prised by the antics of Fox students. 2.

We who at- tended were addressed by speakers on both sides of the creation issue: fiat (im- mediate) and evolutionary (gradual) creation of the world by God. I was really impressed with the quality of the presentations. The main fiat- creationist speaker, Dr. J. Kerby Ander- son, offered slides and speeches sup- porting his viewpoint, while Dr. David Hicks brought out some good argu- ments for the Christian evolutionists ' side with his down-to-earth style. We were also favored by the presence of Dr. Richard Bube, who authored one of the books we used, and faculty mem- bers Dale Orkney and Don Chittick. Drs. Chambers, Goldsmith, Howard, Munn, Roberts and Voth all contributed to the sessions as well. One of the most special times each day was called Celebration of Crea- tion. This was an hour of worshipping and praising God in unique ways like making collages and clay figures, listen- ing to music, and sharing devotional thoughts, songs and prayers. The texts, discussions, and lectures all helped open my mind in a mem- orable Mini-Term on creation. 1. Enjoying a little September sunshine, Devon Jones and Steve Sampels make practical applica- tions of what they ' ve learned about creation. 2.

But what actually kept the college functioning smoothly this year? This is where the administration and administrative services came in and served the GFC community. Some of the more obvious workings of the ad- ministration involved the dedication of the Milo C. Ross Center and the begin- ning of the new dining hall area. A less visible objective, but one with marked advantages for us as students, was the tri-accreditation of the college by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, by the National Association of Schools of Music, and in teacher educa- tion. A further administrative project this year was the Women ' s Awareness Con- ference, sponsored jointly by the dif- ferent divisions which taught women ' s studies and led by Dr. Julie Hobbs, director of curricular studies. Dr. Hobbs was also in charge of continuing educa- tion, or educational experiences design- ed with the adults in the community in mind. The field education program continued to thrive with Curt Loewen ' s capable leadership, as did the Career Planning and Placement Center under Carol Jaquith. The administration was also responsi- ble for bringing teachers to the campus, attempting to widen the scope of GFC students. This year, this goal was ac- complished through various means such as visiting professor Robert Hess and the hiring of ten teachers to either supplement or replace the existing staff. Administrative changes in position in- cluded Julie Hawley becoming dean of students and Mick Holsclaw assuming the job of associate director of student life. The Administrative Council— the col- lege president, dean, business man- ager, head of development, and dean of students— couldn ' t function without its supporting branches, the admissions, housing, financial aid, student life, stu- dent accounts, and registrar ' s offices, and, of course, the mail room, mimeo room, and switchboard. These offices served us in many ways this year. The admissions and registrar ' s offices were a great help to me when I arrived here, and I quickly learned to ap- preciate the student accounts and finan- cial aid offices. The housing sign-up situation improved immensely this year with the introduction of the point system— upperclassmen and older students getting more points than other students — to replace the old first-come- first-served method. The student life office always seemed to be a bustle of activity. And the mail room and switch- board kept me in touch with the off- campus world, while the mimeo room came in very handy when I had paper- work to copy. I felt this year ' s administration and ad- ministrative services were seriously ded- icated to the smooth running of this in- stitution of higher education, and for that I silently congratulated them.

Administration 49 Program revisions, additions seen in Education Division Participation in Division I, Physical and Teacher Education, rose this year to over 150 declared teacher education majors and over 50 physical education majors or minors. Each half of the divi- sion took some significant steps to im- prove their program for those 200 stu- dents and for our entire student body. Dr. Herman Hughes, chairman of the teacher education end, reported an em- phasis on program revision and ap- proval. Our teacher education cur- riculum was revised to meet the 1980 Rules for Certification and approved by the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission. A self-evalua- tion study was also launched in prepara- tion for an accreditation review. Dr. Hughes worked closely with those of our students in every division who stated an intent to go into teaching. Dr. Marjorie Weesner, chairman of the physical education aspects of the division, felt a major addition in the physical education department this year was the new focus on athletic training. For the first time, interested P.E. majors could include a concentration on ath- letic training with practical experience in the athletic department. Our students could also choose field experience in physical therapy or coaching. One campus event sponsored by Division I was the Jog-a-thon. The many joggers took pledges for jogging continuously around the track and began a fund to buy a new track sur- face. A further indication of support and interest in the division was the spontaneous revival of the P.E. Majors and Minors Club by the students. Faculty members were active as well, and one of the most distinguished and coveted honors in the state, District 2 Coach of the Year, went to our own Coach Allen. For these achievements and for their total contribution to George Fox Col- lege, Division I earned my vote of con- fidence. 50 Division I 1.

Our music department, under the direc- tion of Dr. Dennis Hagen, took pos- session of the second floor of the new Milo C. Ross Center and, along with the fine staff already at Fox, added two new members: Mr. Joe Gilmore, who took over for Dr. Jerry Friesen while on sab- batical, and Dr. Istvan Nadas, world- renowned concert pianist and lecturer. Dr. Nadas brought a great vitality and joy to the art of music at Fox with several excellent concerts and lectures which I enjoyed very much, including an appearance at the dedication of the new Baldwin grand piano given to the college anonymously. Several students were also privileged to take lessons privately from Dr. Nadas and benefit from his talent. Our performing groups at Fox were also busy this year. The 160-voice oratorio choir presented its customary Christmas concert with the college or- chesta. The concert band, larger than ever before, was given a new marimba, which it showed off in concert during spring term. A new group, the Wind Ensemble, was also formed this year, and the concert band, a cappella choir, Dayspring, and New Vision Singers all toured this year. Jazz Ensemble had an , excellent year, too, growing livelier with every concert. The art department carried on its commendable work in the promotion and education of art. One landmark was the completion of the bronze sculpture of Herbert Hoover on the Hoover Ac ademic building, copied and crafted from a sketch chosen by pro- fessor Pete Snow. I thought it looked so beautiful! The art classes also presented a display of student art pieces at the May Day festivities, some of which were made on a brand new pot- ter ' s wheel. The climax of the year, the Festival of the Arts, was a joint effort involving European folk dancing, art lectures, dif- ferent music styles, and drama. The participants did a fine job. Maybe that ' s why they call them fine arts. Division 11 53 New major, Video Center in Language Arts Division Communication through writing, speaking, or acting: this is the area covered by Division III— Language Arts. Being involved in this area this year opened many new facets of communi- cation to me, whether it was working in journalism, drama, radio broadcasting, or television production. Some exciting changes began to move forward in the language arts cur- riculum this year, resulting in many new opportunities for students. The division conducted what Chairman Michael Graves termed a detailed review of curriculum, which led to revision of theatre, literature, and writing classes. The theatre arts classes were revamped to more clearly emphasize their poten- tial in Christian ministry. The approval of a writing literature major with re- quired classes in writing, literature, and communication arts expanded the ma- jor offerings available. We also ac- quired two new instructors, Dr. Richard Engnell in writing, speaking, and linguistics, and Mr. Mel Schroeder, director of the Murdock Project, in television production. With the completion of the new Video Center in February, made possi- ble by a grant from the Murdock Trust, about 30 students in two classes were able to learn about television direction, production, and operation fi rsthand. They recorded several on-campus pres- entations and produced some of their own original material. Student accomplishments also in- cluded at least four student- written pieces gaining acceptance for publica- tion as a result of the class, Writing for Christian Publications. Students in the Organizational Communication class sponsored the informative Simple Liv- ing and Searching for Ethnic Awareness Conferences. Faculty members made great gains, too, as the department experienced a new focus upon faculty growth. This focus was underscored by Dr. Engnell ' s receiving of a National Endowment for Humanities to enable him to further develop his knowledge and skills in communication and Dr. Michael Graves ' getting two poems accepted by Arkenstone magazine. With opportunities and professors like these, my language arts classes became fascinating times of learning-by-doing. Throughout the year, I found many practical uses for my new communica- tion skills. Dr .

Miss Claudine Kratzberg, pro- fessor in the home economics section of the division, planned the program for a gathering of home economics teachers from several colleges. The department also sponsored a Career Day in which 60 high school, community college, and GFC students listened to five speakers talk on various career possibilities in home economics. Unique opportunities in practical experience were another help to some of my friends in defining their career goals. The math department pushed ahead similarly, paving the way for a new computer system and corresponding curriculum. My classmates in the Mathematics for Elementary Teachers class were involved in practical ex- perience in Newberg schools. Indepen- dent study courses were increased by eight, in addition to a new class offering to meet certification re- quirements for Oregon teachers. Futher progress was evidenced by the biology, chemistry, and physics branches of the department. Dr. Dale Orkney purchased all the equipment necessary for a National Science Foun- dation grant and immediately put it to use. It was really an advantage in some of my classes! Dr. Paul Chamberlain received a post doctoral research posi- tion at Oregon State University in organic chemistry, and Dr. Don Chittick both published an article in Bible Science Newsletter and applied for a patent in the energy field. In addition, our Sigma Zeta science club for math and science majors flourished as the on- ly chapter west of the Mississippi. This year ' s graduates in natura science fields did well, too— another good sign. They were accepted at leading schools of dentistry, medicine, forestry, chemistry, and biochemistry across the country. I was proud of these signs of progress in Division IV this year!

With room to spread out, they were able to turn their attention to other things. One major achievement was the an- nual Christian Education Conference, headed up by Dr. Julie Hobbs, at which Dr. Vernon Grounds, president of Con- servative Baptist Seminary in Denver, Colorado, was the main speaker. More than twenty-five workshop leaders con- ducted many interesting sessions, of which I was able to attend several dur- ing the three- day conference. A special bonus was the presence of eight major exhibitors from Christian education publishing agencies and similar com- panies. Over 300 off-campus attenders were present, also. These people com- bined with our enthusiastic student body to fill many of the workshops to capaci- ty. I thought it was a huge success, said Dr. Myron Goldsmith, the division chairman. Student interest in regular classes re- mained high also. The number of religion and Christian ministries majors and minors stood at about 130 this year. Faculty accomplishments were num- erous. Dr. Goldsmith wrote a chapter in a symposium for a book to be published by Taiwan Friends Mission and wrote a series for the devotional periodical, Fruit of the Vine. Dr. Arthur Roberts wrote two magazine articles, spoke at two Quaker history series in Friends churches, and continued work on his new book during his fall term sab- batical. Dr. Robert Hess, visiting pro- fessor from Malone College, spent five weeks on campus fall term and spoke at our Quaker Emphasis Week. Dr. David Cassell and other part-time professors also contributed to form what I con- sidered a truly exceptional bunch of professors in Division V. Division V 59 Social Science Division exhibits high quality I The division containing the two leading majors of George Fox College proved its worthiness of the distinction again this year. Leading the college in numbers with business-economics ma- jors first and social service second, Divi- sion VI, Social Science, continued to prepare for eventual accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education. The division began an intensive evalua- tion and study of our social science pro- gram, guided by the Social Work Ad- visory Committee of educators and ad- visors in the field, and expanded our curriculum by utilizing the teaching skills of Mr. Ernie Cathcart and Miss Karen Peterson, hall directors. Other new developments included the first Christian Social Service Day, with special speakers, and the first full year of having a Model U.N. class. Six or seven Fox students participated by representing the country of Mexico in simulated sessions of the United Nations Security Council in Corvallis and, later, the General Assembly in Los Angeles. They had the rare privilege of being in- structed by Dr. Karlin Capper-Johnson, one of the original founders of the United Nations. A dozen of my classmates and Pro- fessor Bruce Longstroth also attended the Regional Conference of the Child Welfare League of America in Seattle, an observance of the United Nations- promoted Year of the Child 1979. Such conferences and activities were numerous, and our professors took part in many. Dr. Lee Nash, division chair- man, was a commentator at the Pacific Northwest History Conference and at- tended the annual meeting of the Organization of American Historians in New Orleans with Dr. Ralph Beebe. Professor Mike Allen was on nine major state or community boards related to his field, and Dr. Jack Day attended a business conference in Seattle. As if to confirm their high level of qualification and involvement, some of our fine professors in this division received offers for other positions which they accepted at the end of the year: Dr. Doug McKenna to Wheaton Col- lege, Professor Tom Head to a doctoral program at Berkeley, and Dr. Jack Day to the George Fox development office. 60 Division VI Michael Allen Sally Andrews Dr. Ralph Beebe Associate Professor of Secretary of Division VI Professor of History Sociology Dr. Jack Day Bruce Longstroth Dr. Doug McKenna Dr. Lee Nash Assistant Professor of Assistant Professor of Social Assistant Professor of Professor of History, Business, Jurist Doctorate Services Psychology Chairman of Division of Social Science 1.

Division VI 61 Band, orchestra, ensembles form strong music program Seventy-six trombones we lacked, but we did have 76 members! With a concert band this size (a 25 percent in- crease over any previous GFC band), we made good use of the larger practice area and improved acoustical sound in the new Milo C. Ross Center. The en- larged band and the extra space allowed us to form a smaller group, Wind Ensemble, which played more difficult pieces and presented a greater chal- lenge to the band ' s top musicians. The orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Robert Lauinger, also performed fall term with the oratorio choir. Jazz Ensemble was busy with several on-campus appearances and a visit to Amity High School. Dr. Hagen and the band played some complex new charts , as the music pieces are called, and some terrific instrumental solos. A couple of times, I even saw Dr. Hagen himself sit down in the trombone section and play along on his bass trombone! Some band members participated in all of these groups. Dr. Dennis Hagen, director of the bands, felt that these people were keys to the program ' s suc- cess. The reason the concert band was strong, said Dr. Hagen, was because we had people who had abil- ities to play in other styles and still feed into that large band. During spring vacation, all of the bands went on a extensive nine-day tour with at least one concert per day. The tour covered four states and two countries — Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and at its furthest distance from the college, Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada. Traveling, testifying, representing their college and their Lord, all of these musicians found joy in making music. I found joy in listening. 62 Instrumental music 1.

Instrumental music 63 Performers in four choirs share locally and on tour While German students borrowed Dr. Jerry Friesen for his year of sabbatical, our a cappella choir, oratorio choir, and New Vision Singers were all under the capable direction of Mr. Joe Gilmore, the newest full-time member of the music staff at George Fox. After all was said and done, I think Mr. Gilmore, the other choir members and myself all benefited from the many different ex- periences of the year. Touring Western Oregon was one of the most exciting things to me about be- ing in the a cappella choir. The theme for the tour this year was Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord, which was com- municated not only by the choir as a whole but also in solos and dramatic presentation. Directorship for the choir was sometimes provided by Pete Nord- quist, the 1979 Outstanding Choir Member. Singing in the larger oratorio choir was also a rare privilege. In conjunction with GFC ' s orchestra, our pieces, Vivaldi ' s Gloria and Randall Thomp- son ' s The Christmas Story, were presented twice in Newberg during the month of December. Dayspring, seven vocalists drawn from the a cappella choir, performed with the choir during the year and also toured during the summer for a very full eight weeks across Washington, Ore- gon, California, Montana, Colorado, North Dakota and Canada. It was a real opportunity for them to share their faith. The 38 New Vision Singers sang con- temporary Christian music with choreography. Their program was enhanced by several soloists and a group of accompanying instruments. All of these things, along with Direc- tor Gilmore ' s talent, combined to make the 1979 choirs an exciting and enriching experience for performers and audiences alike. 1.

Music Index 69 Inter-Mission illustrates life with creative drama sketches { This town ain ' t big enough for the both of us, drawled the tall Texan. Nope, agreed his barrel-chested adversary. They walk to opposite ends of the long street — and pushed the town ' s walls apart. The moral? There is always more than one way to solve a problem. This was one of my favorite sketches done by Inter-Mission, George Fox ' s drama tour group. I watched as they enacted sketch after sketch designed, like this one, to illustrate certain life truths and analogies. Some were comic, some solemn, but all were creative and insightful. Inter-Mission, four guys and four girls, sometimes borrowed themes from cartoons, stories, or poems, and sometimes invented their own ideas from brainstorming, improvisation, drama exercises, or everyday life. Pro- fessor Darlene Graves, their instructor, called this year ' s group prolific in their output and development of ideas. They must have been; she told me they fin- ished the year with a total repertoire of 60 sketches or vignettes! As it turned out, they needed every single one, because performances were so numerous that they averaged one a week by the end of the year. Several new doors were opened to the group this year. They were fortunate enough to be able to perform their ministry for a Marriage Encounter follow-up gather- ing, for the annual northwest festival of the Children ' s Theatre Association of America, and for a service club for the first time— the Kiwanis club. Two extra- special performances were the one at Saturday Market in Portland and the one at MacLaren School for boys in Woodburn, both of which were warmly received. Mrs. Graves said the positive feed- back far outweighed the negative everywhere they went. Perhaps this was partly because of her conscious ef- forts to involve the audience. At one of several on-campus performances this year, she asked for volunteers to par- ticipate in some impromptu sketches. We gladly obliged! But I think a deeper reason for the success of Inter-Mission was that through them, we could see ourselves. 70 Inter-Mission 1.

In the spring, we were invited to a series of original dramatic items under the title, Get Off My Black. Both of these Theatre Lab productions were unique because they were not one united whole, but several smaller parts. O. Henry ' s short story, The Gift of the Magi, was performed as a play for the first of the one acts. In the play, Delia (Jennifer Joslyn) loves her hus- band (Joe Geil) so much that she sells her long, beautiful hair to buy him an expensive watch chain for Christmas, only to find that the has sold his precious gold pocket watch to buy jeweled combs for her hair. The second play, the traditional tale of The Little Matchgirl, portrayed a penniless little girl (Linda Dobbeck) who sold matches for a living. One bitterly cold Christmas night, she is found frozen to death, but wearing a peaceful smile, because she has left her miserable earthly life to be where her beloved grandmother is. The third play, taken from Where Love Is by Leo Tolstoy, dealt with a peasant man (Ben Dobbeck) who had a vision that he would be visited by the Lord that day. Many people come to his house, but not who he is expecting. At the end of the day he realizes that by serving those he has seen, he has been serving God. Get Off My Black, like the one act plays, made some serious comments to me. The production included a play of the same name by Thomazine Wea- thersby and several original dance routines and monologues involving Thomazine, Joyce Yates, and Saundra Burns. The play concerned a black mother whose children are taken from her by the welfare department, resulting in the suicide of one of the children. Each of the individual plays and dramatic pieces in both A Joyous Christmas Celebration and Get Off My Black was poignantly performed to convey a message.

In the musical, Eliza Doolittle, a sooty- faced Cockney girl, turns princess by learning to talk more genteel, as she puts it, and Henry Higgins is the man who makes it all possible. One of the most difficult aspects of performing this particular musical was the many different British dialects. I remember session after session spent drilling on how to speak and sing like a Cockney or an English aristocrat. With the help of a Newberg resident from Great Britain, Hilary Abbott, we finally began to get it down. Not only did we have to learn how to speak, we had to learn how to be- have—and misbehave. Bonnie John- son and Loren Russell, playing the parts of Eliza and her father, did a great job of imitating the crude manners of London paupers. One cast membe r explained, It was really fun being a Cockney because you could do all the gross things you would never do otherwise, and it was right in character! I noticed another thing which made this musical unique, too: both of the leads (Bonnie Johnson and Kurt John- son) plus the main character of Colonel Pickering (Wayne Lindsey) were played by freshmen. Bonnie said that she, for one, had never been in a musical be- fore, but under the competent guidance of Director Joe Gilmore and Debbie Rickey, all three performed admirably. Talking funny was fine for awhile, but as the curtain fell on closing night, I think we were all a little relieved to go back to being just plain Americans.

Tim Minikel Ray Collins, Chuck Hernandez raphy Barry McNabb, Connie Franz, Jennifer Roth (Eugene Dance Theatre Quartet) What was his name? pondered the tall, aged, bearded gentleman, leaning heavily upon his wife ' s arm. I can ' t aven remember the name of my best friend. These words of Ralph Waldo Emer- son (Doug Linscott) , trying to recall his friend Henry David Thoreau (Ben Dob- beck), plunged me into the fast-moving yet tensely emotional dramatization of The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail. It was performed by the GFC drama depart- ment winter term. A cast of only 13 members thor- oughly and imaginatively depicted a night in the life of famous essayist and poet Thoreau when he was imprisoned for deliberate failure to pay taxes. The play flashed back to the events in Thoreau ' s life leading up to that night— his Harvard education, his radical and thus brief teaching career, a love affair, the ironic death of his brother and best friend, the beginning of the Mexican- American War, his life at Walden Pond while employed as handyman to Emer- son, his meeting with a runaway slave, and finally, his arrest. Thoreau was a play of witticisms and philosophy, of one man ' s struggle against conformity and apathy, of his disillusionment with Emerson, his idol. Against the social pressure and disap- proval generated by other characters in the play, Ben Dobbeck brilliantly por- trayed Thoreau ' s fight for his personal convictions — pacifism, civil rights, and the privilege of each person to live his own life in peace. Two months later, the lights went down again, the curtain came up, and I witnessed the debut of a new American folk opera, A Simple Gift. Written by George Fox alumnus Tim Minikel, the opera concerned a celibate Shaker community in which two people discover the simple gift of love for each other and are excommunicated as a result. It began with a Shaker meeting, exhibiting prayers, chants, spiritual fits, and worship of the dual Shaker deity, God and Mother Ann. Of course, the lovers in the play, Roselanne (Leah Pope) and Abraham (Wayne Lindsey) had more difficulty with the doctrine of celibacy than with the other doctrines. The key scene, Act II, showed a dream Abraham had in which the devil tempts Roselanne to stay in the Shaker community and deny her love for Abraham. In the dream, the other Shakers also resemble devils, and they taunt, tease, and separate the two lovers until finally Roselanne and Abraham escape, realizing that their love is not wrong. The moral dilemma caused by contradiction of their religious beliefs was aptly protrayed in symbolic dance. In the final act, the pair come before the meeting, are dismissed for their sin , and leave happily. The opera was an educational and cultural experience in the beliefs of the old Shaker sect, as well as an admirable effort by author Tim Minikel and the cast. A Simple Gift— The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail 79 i SAGA, maintenance crews do their best for students With a bang, rattle, crash, and roar, work began on the new Heacock Com- mons addition, but we tolerated the drafts, the noise, the inconvenience, and a few more weeks of crowded con- ditions for the sake of the needed con- struction work. Deena Owens even beautified the temporary wall with a lighthouse mural. SAGA Jim Talbot was pro bably in- convenienced more than the rest of us, but he and his staff kept up their usual good service. He catered special holi- day meals, countless roomies ' -nights- out, the alumni and commencement dinners, and a few barbeques and study breaks thrown in for good measure. But he really outdid himself spring term with a couple of extras like the midnight breakfast and the carnival food din- ners. It seemed like he was always dreaming up surprises for us! Physical Plant Director Bob Barnett ' s maintenance crew was a major part of my life this year, too. I was grateful more than once for their skills. Any time we needed the plumbing, wiring, or anything else fixed, they would do their best to aid us promptly and courteously. With a new building (Ross Center) to maintain, the complication of the construction project, and so many students to look after, this was not always easy. Bob said most students didn ' t realize the rules maintenance was required to follow, or the way their priority system worked. But he felt stu- dent relations improved this year, and due to some research and extra effort, there were no major problems with heating or water this year as there were in other years.

Along with Genette McNichols (head librarian), Audrey Burton (reference librarian) , Mary Parks (periodicals) , and Barbara Voth (secre- tary), Chris Schlarbaum replaced Stina Frazier at the Circulation Desk. Chris also worked with Miss McNichols in the supervision of student workers and said she really enjoyed working at George Fox. Several books and periodicals have been reported missing in recent years, so this year the library incorporated, on a trial basis, a door check. We were all required to stop at the door to have our bags checked. Miss McNichols felt that the door check procedure helped students stop and think to check out books before they left. Mrs. Burton told me the library and the staff served as back-up to all the other departments on campus, but I ' m sure they were really here for the students. For the fifth year in a row, the library staff served Christmasy refresh- ments during fall term finals week. All the expenses came from their own pockets! Meanwhile, across the way in S.U.B., the student mailroom showed a new face. Judy Settle was always ready to give me a smile and some encouragement if I found mailbox contained only air mail ! appreciated the chance to interact with students in a relaxed atmosphere. Judy enjoyed getting to know our boxes, but she preferred getting to know us. the also my She .-ail ,y A Library- Mailroom 83 Friendly service available from GFC bookstore, nurse After getting my schedule all arrang- ed, like everyone else I headed for the GFC bookstore to get the necessary items for the coming term. Bill and Catherine Loewen had practically everything I needed in the line of books and supplies. I even bought a Bruin T-shirt this year. The selection of books and items other than those actually necessary for classes was quite large this year, in com- parison to other colleges the size of George Fox. Cards and stationary (for when I actually wrote to someone), Bibles and commentaries, junk food, jewelry, records, and even petition forms to run for a student office were available at our store, and they all came in quite handy— at those times when I had money. And the morning I couldn ' t get to the bookstore because I felt too dizzy to even get out of bed, what was the thing to do? First, pray. Then, call Carolyn Staples, our nurse. Carolyn was rather busy this year try- ing to keep us all healthy, plus doing a study of accidents and injuries, speaking at floor meetings, meetings with the dean of students and other people, and keeping the files on every student cur- rent. But the familiar sign on her door— If the door is closed, be seated. I ' ll be through shortly — proved true. She always found time sooner or later for anyone who needed her, which, she estimated, was 80 to 90 percent of the student enrollment this year. Sometimes all this meant working overtime, but Carolyn didn ' t seem to mind— not even during the minor flu epidemic which hit campus in winter term. For awhile it seemed that we could have had better attendance at classes if we had held them in the dorms, but after a few brief quarantines, lots of concern, and a little biochem- istry, Carolyn had us back on our feet. She served us with a smile and with confidence as she always does. Still, I would prefer to see her only at social functions rather than in her office.

Under the direction of Coach Rich Allen, we defeated all but one of our regular season opponents. The high- light of the year came in a dual meet against Pacific University, in which we finished with a perfect score of 15 by sweeping the top five places. After this excellent season ' s showing, we had confidence in our ability to win District. We were the defending cham- pions, but we knew that because of the injuries to two of our key runners, Randy Ware and Scott Celley, and because of the quality of the runners in our District, we each would have to run a very good race. Even though we had people hurt, we had enough talent to win District, Coach Allen commented. However, in order to win this District, everything had to go right. Unfortunately, not all did. Our dream faded as we ran on the pavement of the hilly Eastern Oregon State College course in the windy, 25-degree weather. All of our runners finished in the top 25, but superior races run by Willamette and SOSC left us in a disappointing third place. We ran well, but not exceptionally. The following weekend in Kenosha, Wisconsin, three members of our team competed in the National Champion- ships. Steve Blikstad finished twenty- sixth, Lyndal Smith ninety-eighth, and Chris Mwaura 123 in a field of 384 par- ticipants. For their outstanding performances during the year, Steve Blikstad received the Most Valuable Player award, Randy Ware Most Improved, and Tim Roch- holz both Team Captain and Most In- spirational. 86 Men ' s Cross Country I, Dave Molstad stretches out and prepares for a good run. 2.

Men ' s Cross Country 87 Soccer team shows improvement in second season at GFC Improvement described our 1978 soccer team, for we, as players, con- tinued to gain more and more of the necessary skills that make up the game. Entering our second intercollegiate soc- cer season at GFC, we had picked up enough of the basics to begin concentra- tion of strategy rather than fundamen- tals. We finished the season 2-9-3, but our win-loss record was not purely in- dicative of how well we played. Five of our losses during the year came by two goals or less, which showed strong defensive improvement over the ' 77 season. Our biggest downfall was the lack of offensive punch. In only two games during the season did we score more than two goals. This placed an additional burden upon the defense, and our win-loss record suffered because of it. Our victories came against Columbia Christian, twice sending them home un- successful in their bid for a win. We defeated them 4-1 in the first contest, then finished the season on a positive note by crushing them 5-0 in the sec- ond. Yet, surprisingly, our two best- played games we did not win. We fought to a 0-0 tie with Western Baptist and dropped a close game to Northwest Nazarene, 2-1. We were able to main- tain possession of the ball throughout most of these two contests and control the pace of the games. Our perserverance as a team kept us going when the season could have got- ten discouraging. The players main- tained good spirits throughout the year, agreed Coach Doug Mc Kenna. Even though we were losing, they didn ' t let it get them down. McKenna commended Fred Van Gorkom and Rod Williamson for their outstanding efforts as team captains. Williamson was also selected as the squad ' s Most Valuable Player. Ed Brown received the Most Improved Player award, and Chad Neeley was chosen as Most Inspirational Player. 1.

Soccer 89 i Men ' s basketball team weathers youth and injuries Personal accomplishments abounded on our 1978-79 George Fox basketball team. Freshman Tim Adrian (7.1 points per game), sophomore Phil Barnhart (12.4), senior Gary Chenault (16.9), and freshman Mike Peregrin (5.3 points and 6.3 rebounds) rounded out the usual starting five. Chenault, a guard from Indianapolis, sank his first 56 free throws of the season in a 20-game stretch, finishing the year with 71 out of 77 attempts made, for a .922 average— the best in the district, and a new school record. His .871 career free throw percentage also established a school mark, as did his 72 steals for the season. However, with the young lineup and a string of injuries opposing us, we struggled to a 9-20 win-loss record. In late November, senior Dave Adrian, our team ' s captain and returning lead scorer, sustained a knee injury and was lost for the entire season. Many others were sidelined periodically during the year— sophomore Darcy Weisner with torn leg ligaments, senior Charles Up- church with a fractured foot, and fresh- man Mike Royer with a broken nose. Royer still managed to maintain his starting position, sitting out only one game and averaging 12.2 points per game for the season. The many injuries and an additional loss of two other individuals in mid- season made it necessary to add four new members to our roster. Coach Sam Willard was pleased with the sup- port given by these players. According to Coach Willard, our emotional high probably came against Brigham Young University-Hawaii, as Royer, Chenault, and Barnhart scored 26, 22, and 18 points respectively, beating the Hawaiian team 104-85. They really got after it and played well, stated Coach Willard. Despite the disappointing win-loss record, Coach Willard was pleased with many aspects of the team. For that young of a ball club, I think they worked really well together, he commented. I have nothing but good feelings about that. 90 Men ' s Basketball Men ' s Basketball 91 Hard work pays off as men ' s track win title In their first meet of the season our beloved Bruins began their road to fame by setting one school record and quali- fying nine people for the NAIA (Na- tional Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) District 2 Championships. From then on the George Fox tracksters rolled over their opponents one by one. Coach Rich Allen began the season by saying, potentially this is one of the better teams I ' ve had. Allen ' s potential slowly emerged into reality as our Bruins set their sights on the district title. Last year the Bruins finished second in NAIA District 2 competition, just 4% points out of first. In the last regular season dual meet the Bruins tallied up a perfect unde- feated string in regular season NAIA competition and tuned up for their bid at the District 2 track and field title with an overpowering win over Willamette University. The tracksters outscored the Bearcats 93-68, a team considered one of the top teams in the district. One more hurdle was behind them as our Bruin track men gained confidence in their race for the District 2 title. On May 12, Allen ' s potential was at last made full as George Fox College became the 1979 NAIA District 2 track and field champions. We became the first independent college in the district to win the title in the 25 years of competi- tion. It was only the third district cham- pionship won by a Bruin squad since George Fox began NAIA competition in 1965. The Bruins also earned cham- pionship titles in basketball in 1973 and cross country in 1977. Our Bruins not only glided to what looked like an easy 201V2 point district title, but also made a clean sweep of track honors for the spring as Coach Rich Allen was named NAIA District Coach of the Year for track and senior sprinter Gregg Griffin was selected as track Athlete of the Year. What had the media reporters and we, the fans exclaiming was the Bruins overwhelming domination of the meet, claiming the title by one of the largest margins ever. The Bruins, setting four school records, rolled up an amazing 2OIV2 points, besting second place Lewis and Clark by 79V2 points and third place Willamette by 80. Both are Northwest conference members. The only other independent college in the showdown was Northwest Nazarene of Idaho and it put together just 13 points. The top Evergreen Conference entrant was Southern Oregon in fifth slot with 49. Linfield was fourth with 75 points. One Portland newspaper tagged the George Fox superiority a Bruin blitz. In Salem the newspaper called it an impressive display of talent that won the title with ridiculous ease. For two days it seemed our Bruins could do no wrong as nearly everything Allen wanted to happen did— and more. George Fox had not lost to a district foe all season long and Allen had early in the season posted the motto: we ' re making a memory. And a memory it is. Few of us will forget the display as our Bruins took first in 9 of the 23 events. 92 Men ' s Track v 1. An enthusiastic crowd supports our district champion Bruins. 2.

Allen took Gregg Griffin (100 and 200 meters), Steve Blikstad (Steeplechase and 5000 meters) , Tim Rochholz (Marathon) , Wendell Otto (800 meters and 1,500 meters), Lyndal Smith (5,000 meters), and hammer thrower Allan Morrow. Blikstad, owner of the NAIA ' s best time in the steeplechase at 8:49.7, ran his way into national history May 19, winning the NAIA steeple- chase title. Sprinter Gregg Griffin came up with a pulled hamstring and was out after the semi-finals. The other four runners placed respectively and totaled enough points to give the Bruin track team a 15th place finish in the nation. More than 100 teams were represented. At the team awards banquet senior Gregg Griffin was named Most Valuable Player. The lightning fast Seattle pro- duct scored a district double in the dashes three straight years and holds GFC and district records in th e 100 at 10.4 and in the 200 at 21.2. He set both this year as the Bruins broke half of their school records— 11 of 22. Steve Curtis received the Most Improved award and Most Inspirational went to Scott Celley. As the awards were announced by Coach Rich Allen, the district ' s track coach of the year, the exuberance and pride of accomplishing a goal sought after by all was written on everyone ' s faces. Our men worked hard and won! 1. Gregg Griffin and Mark Reynolds receive their awards after a tough race. 2. Allan Morrow, showing the form that made him the top hammer thrower in the district. 3.

When I came to George Fox, I caught the fever, too. Probably the most sensitive team that I ' ve ever had, was the way Coach Craig Taylor described our 1979 baseball team. He explained that he meant sensitive in terms of baseball, living. The addition of a pitching machine was one factor which dramatically im- proved our players ' statistics. For in- stance, in the 1979 season, we improv- ed our batting average by 60 points and belted 16 homers, compared to one home run the previous year. Coach Taylor felt the improvement was due to the preseason and daily use of the machine, made necessary because we didn ' t have a baseball field. He thought this had a tremendous affect on our overall performance at the plate. A long and tough road schedule counteracted these gains, however. All 34 games were played away from home as we waited for our new field to be completed, leading to a 6-28 season record. But in our best game against Lewis-Clark State in Idaho, we lost only 12-9, after being ahead in the late inn- ings, to the team then ranked third in the nation (NAIA). Individually, we had many athletes who contributed a great deal to the team throughout the season. Bruce Rhodes, Terry Beebe, Mahlon Lott, and Wes Rogers made up the starting pitchers ' rotation, while Zack Torkelson and Mark Wilson helped out on the mound in relief. Coach Taylor com- mended these and the meat of our Bruin lineup — Brian Olson (.346 batting average for the season), Gayle Beebe (four home runs for the season), John Cederholm, and again Bruce Rhodes for their outstanding play. 1.

Sports Index 101 Women ' s cross country team makes good first showing We had a first this year! The women ' s cross country team made its appearance at George Fox College. It was also a first for their coach, Curt Ankeny, a George Fox graduate, who had never coached a women ' s sport before. Another first was that for some of these girls, it was the first time to run in a cross country event. Only three had any significant previous running ex- perience. However, they were drawn together by their common love of run- ning. This was important, because contrary to the myth of cross country is an in- dividual sport which requires only in- dividual initiative, I felt unity was impor- tant for the efficient functioning of the team, and our team here at Fox was a team united. Coach Ankeny said the girls often prayed together and really backed each other up in a meet. Even though the six members of the team all came from different areas— one from Portland, one from Tacoma, one from Chicago, one from Newberg, and two from different parts of Salem— when a meet began, they were all from GFC. The season contained four meets. One was at Linfield College, one was a Portland State invitational at Gabriel Park in Portland, one was at Oregon State, and the last was the district meet at Willamette University in Salem. Plac- ing the highest from our team at district was Eileen McDougal. She place fifth with a time of 18.19.00. Karen Maxwell also made a good showing, coming in twelfth with a time of 20.09.00. The other runners all set personal records. They told me they attributed much of their success to their coach, who was really neat. Coach Ankeny said he enjoyed the job. I was pleased with the people that we had— the way they worked out, he added. I think that ' s pretty good for a first-time coach, a first- time team, and some first-time runners! 102 Women ' s Cross Country Women ' s Cross Country 103 Frosty field hockey season bonds teammates close It was 14 degees below Farenheit in Moscow, Idaho, during the Northwest Regional Field Hockey Tournament. The bitterly cold wind was blowing across the field, while the sound of clashing sticks and heavy footsteps re- sounded from the frozen ground. The whistle blew, marking the end of the game and the end of our hockey sea- son. It was a good year, but the season went by too fast! Even with our young team, we im- proved our skills. Although our season record was 2-7, we also won two preseason games. As for individual winners, we had a team full of them. Mary Kay Hansen was our Most Val- uable Player and was named to the Women ' s Conference of Independent College ' s All-Star squad. Kelley David- son and Jo Wester were also placed on the All-Star squad. Also receiving team awards were Sheryl Mannen, Most In- spirational and Jennifer McClellan, Most Improved. The team as a whole came out winners for the experience and personal growth we gained. Hockey brought us many opportun- ities to make new friends and share Christ ' s love. Traveling to Ashland, we competed against and shared with our friends from Southern Oregon State College. Our trip to the University of Idaho, Moscow, gave us an opportunity to display our talent in more ways than one. The traditional yearly banquet was held during regionals, with different teams providing entertainment. With skill and originality, we challenged our opponents on the field and charmed them on the stage. The last few lines to the song we sang described our season well: Idaho, that ' s where it ends. Throughout the season we ' ve made many friends. And so, with a song, and a dance and a raising of sticks, we hung up our hockey skirts for the year! 104 Field Hockey 1.

Starting with a smash victory over Lower Columbia and hitting a high point at the PSU Small College Tourna- ment, we really displayed first-rate volleyball when we played our game. We played some of our best games against stiff competition such as Linfield and Lewis Clark. Although most of the team was fairly young with plenty of freshman talent, we lost two seniors at the season ' s end. Our star setter and team captain Joanie Snyder, who was named to the Confer- ence All-Star Team, and our pound- ' em-down spiker, Mary Ann Mason, made great contributions to the team. Maria Richardson was named Most Im- proved; Alynn Thompson, Most Inspir- ational; and Joanie Snyder, Valuable. As a team we learned through our mistakes as well as our successes. There were difficult times which a growing team must endure, but through these times we grew more mature in skills and attitudes. Attending the International Volleyball Match, sponsored by the United States Volleyball Association, at the Memorial Coliseum in Portland, was exciting and motivating. We learned much about team work and individual discipline as we watched the Olympic teams from the United States and Japan compete. The season produced a close team and proved to be a lot of fun. As a team, we felt we were successful in many ways other than winning. 106 Volleyball V v 13 i 1. The moments before a serve are tense for Mary Ann Mason and Joanie Snyder. 2.

Volleyball 107 Women ' s basketball builds with new personnel •J Wtih many new faces added to the line-up, our George Fox women ' s basketball team had a hard but reward- ing season. Our team had six new freshmen, one transferring sophomore, three returning sophomores, two returning seniors, and a new assistant coach— Kirk Burgess, former Bruin ballplayer— who offered his time to gain some coaching experience. Dee Bright, head coach, agreed that with so many new faces, our Bruin women had a great deal of potential. Under the direction of these two coaches, the team finished with an overall season record of six wins and sixteen losses. The women had two major road trips. They traveled to Tacoma where they battled against University of Puget Sound and Pacific Lutheran University, in two well played games. Though the Bruins lost both games they demonstrated tough, tena- cious basketball. The George Fox women also traveled to Southern Oregon where they crushed Oregon In- stitute of Technology and lost to Southern Oregon State College. Both road trips were lessons in endurance and desire. The season, as a whole, was a good effort by everyone involved, considering the adjustments that had to be made with so many new personnel. At the team awards banquet, the following awards were given to our basketball women: Most Valuable Player, Kitty Kropf; Most Improved, Laurie Sparks; and Most Inspirational, Wendy Augustine. Debbie Wall and Brenda Bagley also received second team All Conference awards. Good show, girls! 108 Women ' s Basketball 1.

Women ' s Basketball 109 Teamwork key to successful Softball season The sound of a loud whack as Lois Hantho hit another home run, and the muddy splashes of the base runners were familiar sounds throughout our season. Hantho led the team in hits and the rain led the league in wins. Though quite a few games were rained out, we made all of them up by occa- sionally playing three, four and five games a week. The tough schedule and our hard work paid off. We cap- tured second place in the Women ' s Conference of Independent Colleges with an over-all record of 11-5, and a conference record of 5-3. Our season started with a young team— Coach Dee Bright aptly said it: We seemed to have a lot of individual talent; it was just a matter of developing as a team. Working hard was just a part of developing our skills and team- work. In our first game of the year, Hantho doubled, tripled twice, and knocked a home run in leading the team at the plate while Kim Johnson pitched an ex- cellent game in picking up her first win on the mound. It was a great game for the whole team. A rough point in our season came with our first loss to Linfield. The game wasn ' t played in the interest of friendly competition. We lost the grudge match and learned that our own goals had somehow fallen short. A team that had always played to win and yet played for Christ had suddenly played for them- selves—and lost. It was a true learning experience from which we all benefited. The rest of the season was a good one. Team unity was excellent on and off the field. We consistently played well, and came through in some clenches. We finished the season by winning three of four games in our last tournament. At our awards dinner Kim Johnson received the nod for Most Valuable Player, while Lois Hantho was awarded Most Inspirational and Alynn Thomp- son Most Improved. All in all, the season was one filled with soggy shoes and tough competi- tion. The key to our success, as Coach Bright summed up our season, was teamwork; The players worked very well together as a unit. 1. Joanie Snyder enjoys those practices in the sun. 2.

Softball 111  m proves prosperous for tennis team Love is the name of game, and only swingers can play. This year, our women ' s tennis team played hard. ' Coach Hank Helsabek and the six sophomores and one junior who made up the team spent many hours working together, preparing for competition. As a result of all the practice, many per- sonal improvements were seen in each of the girls from match to set, despite the season record. Our team ' s one victory was over Oregon College of Education ' s junior varsity team. The girls had been diligent and could now reap their reward! Another highlight for most members of the team was playing Lewis and Clark. The competition was ex- cellent and all the women learned much from their opponents. This year tennis fought a struggling history at George Fox. The constant changeover in coaches and team members in previous years made it hard to maintain a strong level of consisten- cy. A lack of court space also proved a problem. Despite those difficulties, our women kept their spirits high and com- peted well. In the end, whatever was dished out to them by their opponents, 112 Tennis : : •!■• 1. Bruin women relax with coach Hank Helsa- beck before they start their matches. 2.

Tennis 113 Determination gives women ' s track undefeated season Success was the title of the season for the George Fox women ' s track team. Ten school records were broken as well as six WCIC (Women ' s Conference of Independent Colleges) records. The sought after goal of the WCIC championship became a reality for our hard-working, dedicated women. In addition to this outstanding attainment, nine members of the team were chosen as conference all-stars. The team, undefeated in dual meet competition, also qualified nine women for the Northwest College Women ' s Sports Association Regional Championships, held in Eugene, Oregon. As far as school records were con- cerned, Joyce Yates, a stand-out sprinter, broke both the 100 and 200 meter records with times of 12.35 and 24.5 respectively. Another talented freshman, Karen Beckler, ran a 61.4 400 meter race. Eileen McDougal, also a freshman, set new records in both the 800 meters, with a time of 2:24, and the 1500 meters, with a time of 4:49.4. Breaking her previous records in the 100 meter hurdles and the 400 meter hurdles was Karen Maxwell, running a 15.1 and 65.0. The relay teams also set new records. The 440 yard relay team, comprised of Joyce Yates, Laurie Sparks, Joanie Hatfield, and Karen Beckler, shattered the old record by posting a time of 50.4. The same team also broke the 50 sec- ond barrier in the 400 meter relay, run- ning a 49.89. The mile relay team, consisting of Mary Lou Beach, Saundra Burns, Karen Beckler, and Karen Max- well, set a new record, running a quick 4:05.6. Team awards as chosen by team members, included: Most Valuable- Karen Maxwell, Most Improved- Eileen McDougal, and Most Inspira- tional—Mary Lou Beach. Behind the inspiration of their coach Randy Winston, the Bruins proved that George Fox women can win titles too! 114 Women ' s Track 1.

It was one of the best plays all term for our intramural volleyball team. Going over to the gym at 9:00 or 10:00 at night to play volleyball, organizing a football team, and playing other intramural sports was one of the high points of my year. With only a limited budget, Mike Englen, intramural director, and his staff developed a variety of intramural ac- tivities. Each term was loaded with pro- grams which drew over half the student body. With the starting of the new school year, we watched the Lewis- Weesner football team beat Winters, 20-6, while Team 2 spiked to a volleyball victory over Team 3 and Terry Beebe, Gayle Beebe, John Cederholm, and Ernie Sturzinger outshot and outmaneuvered all the other half-court basketball teams. Powderpuff Football King Wes Porter and his court, Todd Newell, Rus Phillips, and Marc Graff (elected by the players) , cheered as the West team won by a safety over the East. Later, I slid my way through the icy weather to watch Hob 2 defeat Penn 2 in overtime, 64-63, in the five-man basketball championship game. Wo- men ' s basketball was a big interest this year, too, as we packed out the gym to watch Edwards 1 overcome the off- campus team, 28-18. A new item was the men ' s select All-Star football com- petition, which was won in sudden death by the East team, 14-12. Spring not only brought the birds and flowers but a victory for Charlie Keeran and Mary Lou Beach in badminton, Leonard Renfer in tennis, and Alynn Thompson, John Cederholm and Terry Beebe in three- man volleyball. Craig Taylor, the faculty advisor for intramurals, felt the year went well, and I had to agree. 116 Intramurals 1.

Bruins! Bruins! we chanted as the Spirit Can ' s lid was lifted higher and higher. The Spirit Can, as well as the Bruin (Raisin Bran) song, was introduced by our 1978-79 cheerleading squad, which was John Bellamy, Roger Emry, Jean Frost, Leigh Ann Hendryx, Jack Ly da, and Chris Yentes. Roger Emry said, The rally squad tried to concentrate on spirit- oriented activities, but along with the basketball team, we were plagued with injuries. Back braces, knee braces and casts were a common sight on the basketball court this year as the squad cheered the Bruins on. Another drawback was the cap gun controversy : whether or not the use of cap guns at the games was consistent with the spirit of Christian love. In spite of these problems, the rally members practiced two hours every weeknight to become worthy of their name and master their numerous stunts. They rooted for the team as far away as Nampa and Seattle, but waited at home for news of the Hawaii games. Problems and all, they made us proud to be Bruins. 120 Rally 6f C 1.

Rally 121 Hosts and hostesses indispensable to fans and team There they were in their sharp- looking outfits, selling tickets, directing traffic and running errands, their ever- present smiles greeting me at the door of Miller Gymnasium as I headed for my seat to watch the basketball game: no less than the hosts and hostesses of GFC. These eight selected students, under the direction of Barry Hubbell, perform- ed the special task of making all the spectators feel welcome and comfor- table at every home game. They were in charge of reserved seating and of pro- viding refreshments for the statisticians and media representatives. They also organized the preseason get-together for everyone involved in the basketball program, as well as the closing awards dessert, and arrived early at every game. Seeing the hosts and hostesses at the games gave me a nice feeling. I know the basketball team and staff apprecia- ted their help, and I ' m sure their presence made an especially favorable impression on visitors to our games. The good feelings were mutual, too. The hosts and hostesses said they con- sidered it an honor to be given the posi- tion of serving their school and the public in various inconspicuous but necessary ways. 122 Hosts and Hostesses Student government members available, devoted, successful A few dedicated people can truly make a difference on a college campus, and this year ' s Central Committee, sub- committees, and class officers proved it. I admired the way they sought God ' s guidance individually and as a unit in their attempts to change George Fox for the better. Central Committee pressed forward with tough issues such as the role of the Film Society and how to apply the Biblical ideal of confrontation to discipline policies at George Fox. They finished a matching proposal with the administration, nearly doubling our an- nual budget for new library books; they catalyzed the purchase of a baseball pitching machine, met for the first time with alumni student leaders during Homecoming, and subsidized the pur- chase of a piano for Sutton lobby. Separately, the various subcommit- tees operated efficiently to complete projects like rest home visitation and in- volvement, needed carpentry work in the student government offices, the up- dating of the ASCGFC Constitution, , several surveys to measure student at- titudes, and the mobilization of deputa- tion groups practically every weekend. Some outstanding Christian service pro- jects to me were Wheelchair Day, on which students pushed elderly people around the campus; Terry Day, when we raised over $1000 for a little boy in the hospital and his family; the partial financing of life-saving kidney treat- ments for a baby girl named Jennifer Brock from the Newberg area; and the 24-hour Prayer Vigil. The class officers were busy with ac- tivities such as freshman fund-raising on Valentine ' s Day, sophomore talent show and silent movies, junior ad- ministration of the Junior Store, and Senior Sneak weekend in Seattle. Some of the class leaders also spon- sored a Splash-a-thon to raise money for Carol Parsons, who was in need of medical treatment. On May Day, each class gave the senior class a gift. These accomplishments represented the attainment of some of the student leaders ' foremost goals this year. As for the goal of buying cookies and punch to enhance the Central Committee meet- ings . . . Well, President Fred once said to me with a twinkle in his eye, we talked about it a lot. 124 Student Government %:.

Student Government 125 R.A. and R.D. life full of trials, rewards The letter said, Welcome to the 1978-79 housing staff. I couldn ' t believe it. I was going to be an R.A.! I hoped that I would be one of those great R.A.s that freshmen write home about. The job really began two weeks prior to school, when we set out on a wilderness trek called Walkabout: a week-long excursion into the Three Sisters Wilderness Area. The lessons of Walkabout were several: to learn empathy for freshmen in a new environment, supportiveness of each other, and better understanding of ourselves. One of the first things I discovered upon returning to school was that R.A.s were a favorite target for pranksters, and love was demonstrated in a varie- ty of ways! Yet many were the times of prayer, sharing, and hilarity. Then, of course, there were always the parties, roomies ' -nights-out, and fund-raising events. Of course, there were times when plans fell through, or study pressures mounted, or I felt like I was drowning in R.A. paperwork. But so often in these times, the people I served became ser- vants to me. Besides getting to know the students in my living area, anther bonus of the year was getting to know my resident director (R.D.). I found that the R.D. was someone to turn to for support, and I felt the R.D.s proved their worth this year in overseeing the living areas and helping the R.A.s. My meetings with my R.D., like the fun and closeness of the staff meetings and the R.A. class, became weekly pleasures that led to lasting friendship. Being an R.A. meant being a model, a planner, a good ear, a good sport, and sometimes a disciplinarian, but through it I came to know and love a group of people I might otherwise have passed by: my people. 1 j MB 126 R.A.s R .D.s 1.

We had braved building construction, work study jobs, the daily canyon walk, and hours of cramming. We had seen many happy birthdays in SAGA and shared ourselves at Bible studies. We had faced having 189 credit hours, tak- ing those missed freshman classes, completing senior research, and filing placement files. Finally, at our last chapel, after the special solos and shar- ing by seniors, it was time for that honored tradition: remember whens. Remember when Tim Ankeny and Kerry Barnett entertained us with . . . Remember when you could see everyone in SAGA at the same time? . . . Sue Pruitt went with her sister-in- law ' s husband? ... we were the biggest entering freshman class? ... the silverware was stolen from SAGA? ... I Am Woman was the theme song for Penn 1 women? . . . Jon Strutz vowed to be a Bachelor ' til the Rapture ? . . . Chad and Marian Neeley were in different classes? ... we could all fit in Wood-Mar? . . . Wes Porter was freshman class president? ... the Penn 2 girls stole Penn 1 men ' s boxers and sewed them together and hung them with love in the lobby? . . . Dave Adrian was in our class? . . . Fawn Buck ' s fiance was Holly Strubhar ' s boyfriend? . . . it only cost $42.50 per credit hour? . . . Debbie Hansen went out with another activities director? . . . Ross Center was the Hester Dome? . . . you had to have a reservation to get in the prayer room? . . . the $25 fine was just a threat? ... we used to raise the roof on the Hester Dome? . . . Ron Crecelius ' jokes were new? . . . Werner Seibert and Steve Blikstad were roommates and thought about track instead of girls? ... all the seats were taken out of chapel? . . . Penn lobby was the Passion Pit? . . . Marty Koch pushed Craig Roberts down the Hobson stairs in a wheelchair? . . . Tim Ankeny was blinded by the light ? . . . that chapel speaker found Candy Malm ' s note? . . . Debbie Breitmeier ' s socks were strung all across Edwards lobby? . . . the SAGA checker knew you and didn ' t have to check your card? . . . you hurried from chapel to make it to lunch? . . . Bruce Rhodes got caught in Ed- wards after hours? ... we had classes in the library base- ment? ... the baseball team had home games? Remember . . . . . . Heaven on the Seventh Floor? . . . Wes Rogers and Lori Dworshak? . . . sauerkraut in the basement? . . . those wild and crazy queens games in Penn? . . . Claudine Blair and her gentle sup- port at the games? . . . Shelley Webster and Bobby Laughland? . . . Shelley Webster and Robbi Arm- strong? . . . Shelley Webster and Jon Strutz? . . . the Boxer Serenade from Penn men to Edwards women? And finally, remember ' way back when, when we didn ' t remember remember whens ? But now we were the few that did remember the remember whens. As freshmen, we had dreamed of being seniors; now, with God ' s help, we had fulfilled those dreams. As seniors, we were dreaming new dreams with the assurance that -God ' s faithfulness would continue.

There was no shortage of other denominations either. The customary Distinguished Service Awards both went to members of the Newberg First United Methodist Church: Neva Crabtree, for years of service in church, business, and park and recreation; and to Walter Tucker, salesman of mutual funds and real estate, active member of the Newberg Rotary Club, and fund-raiser for the Newberg Community Hospital. The banquet, attended by our sup- porters in the community, also featured a report on Project SHIP (Student Help Investment Program) by Project Chair- man George Alexander of the Alex- ander Union Oil Company and a speech called The Quest for Leader- ship by Richard Welch of General Telephone. Bonnie Johnson, Chuck Hernandez, and Leah Pope contributed in music. Later, graduating seniors and other alumni were invited to the Alumni Ban- quet with M.C. Ronald Stansell, Boli- vian missionary. They were welcomed to the Alumni Association by President Gary Brown and treated to music by graduates Pete Nordquist and Debbie Seibert. Honored at the banquet was Mr. Lewis Hoskins, Alumnus of the Year, for his outstanding service on countless national and international boards, especially the Friends Service Unit in China and in the U.S. He taught at the University of Nairobi, at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, at Friends University and at George Fox, as well. Since Mr. Hoskins could not be present to accept his award, it was received by his 88-year-old mother- in-law from Friendsview Manor, Mrs. Alice Coulson, with a brief and enter- taining speech about Mr. Hoskins.

T j 164 Baccalaureate-Graduation Final cer emonies evoke mixed feelings We waited tensely in line for the ceremonies to begin. Just moments before, we had rushed from family and friends to don dark robes and prepare for our entry into Miller Gymnasium for the commencement exercise. Sudden- ly, the cue was given, and we began the long walk that would change our status from students to graduates. Earlier that morning, baccalaureate speaker Norval Hadley, superintendent of Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends, had offered words of encouragement and incentive to his listeners with a message entitled What in the World is God Doing? He told us that although the life ahead of us would be difficult, God— the Maker and Completer of history— was still in control. Delight Knoepfle, Paul Koch, Ron Kocher, Jon Strutz, Fred VanGorkom, Cindy Whit- aker, and the George Fox A Cappella Choir participated with songs, prayers, sharing and Scripture reading. Now it was afternoon, time for the big event. All of us present began the com- mencement ceremony by singing praise hymns. Next, Janet Foster and Lori Dworschak each performed solo music pieces. Then our speaker, Jeb Stuart Magruder of Young Life, urged us all to think small, becoming involved with people on an individual level, rather than trying to change the whole world. After the address, President LeShana and Dr. Green took the platform and began handing out diplomas, for which Senior Class President Dick Hampton spoke the thanks of our class. I watch- ed my fellow seniors wait as calmly as they could for the moment when we would each receive this symbol of our accomplished goal. Then, as the last graduate crossed the stage, it was over in a flurry of flashbulbs and tears. We scattered to express dif- ficult farewells to that special classmate or professor. This time of beginnings was also a time of goodbyes. It was, as one senior put it, like a gate swinging closed behind us as we turned to travel new roads. The future was uncertain, but full of possibilities. Baccalaureate- Graduation 165 Graduation, cont. 1 . kW Mm. m 1.

Many were the disappointments and hard hours spent working on this book, and yet we have all learned a new dimension of the word perseverance. We sacrificed our time and energies to produce a book that could truly portray the many sides of George Fox College. Within the book itself, length and ex- travagance were sacrificed for cost. Unavailability of information, time and pictures sometimes required a few sacrifices. However, at no time did we attempt to sacrifice the quality we hoped to achieve. God has taught us a great deal this year. Though there have been difficult times, we rejoice that the Lord stood by us and gave us strength when we had none left. We wish to thank our fine staff members without whom we never could have made it. We also thank those not on the staff who availed us of their services and continually supported us in prayer. We truly hope that through the 1979 L ' Ami, the feelings of the students, and even more, the witness of Christ will be seen and remembered.
