Chapels encourage growth very morning between 10:00 and 10:30, a very important event happened for the Grace student body — chapel. Students from all corners of the campus made their trek to McClain Auditorium for a time of spiritual nourishment. Chapels added to the spiritual em- phasis during the year. Many special chapel services were held, including the Bible and missionary conferences. The fall and spring semesters each featured a Day of Prayer which en- couraged praise, thanksgiving, and petition to the Lord. A wide range of speakers from the area and from around the world challenge the students to godly living and a close walk with the Lord. Each chapel service, conference, and Day of Prayer had special mean- ing and aided in the students’ spiritual growth. 13

The concert series also included The Messiah, performed by the Grace College-Community Choir, and special performances by the Stage Band, Wind Symphony, Community Orchestra, Grace Belles, Madrigals, Concert Choir, and Dennis Herrick.

Where else do you have over 25 brothers or sisters to live with? Where else do such crazy things (like playing hallway hockey, TPing a room, staying up all night, or preten- ding you’re Petra) happen? The dorm, a collegiate’s dwelling place. The installation of phones in every dorm room created a sensation. Students could call one another or home or anywhere without leaving the comfort of their rooms. There were some astronomical phone bills. . . A group of retired folks arrived on campus and repaired things in the dorms. They worked hard to fix many problems that had been plaguing the facilities. Grace’s dorms house almost. all Grace’s students These structures are more than just buildings — they’re places where memories are made. Tom Rowe enjoys chatting with friends on his own telephone. - Who could Steve Smith be expectantly waiting for in Alpha lobby? Russell Clawson works on Beta during his retirement. It’s amazing what you might find hallways or rooms.
