In 1955, Richard Messner was ap- pointed Director of Athletics. Several trips to the east coast were arranged and the “Grace Ambassadors” earned the repu- tation of an excellent basketball . team. After considering ‘‘Falcons,”’ ‘Eagles,’ and various other names, the nickname “Lancers” was finally chosen. The colors red and white were arbitrarily picked by the coach and athletic director. After looking at some of the his- toric facts about Grace, what is planned for the future? This year was one of transition, not only in the Presidency but also in the school itself. Dr. James E. Bowl- ing assumed the leadership of the Education Department. This year also produced the announcement of remodeling plans on campus and plans for the seminary di- vision in Long Beach, California. The year also brought to light plans and action for better public relations in the community. Grace students had a number of ways in helping out the people nearby. Student Body President Todd Davis created Fall Fest in - students who participated in the which students were able. to help paint houses, do lawn work, anc shovel gravel. Next came Heart 0} the Holidays where students do- nated clothing, food, and muck time to help the not-so-fortuna at Christmastime. Many lives were touche | by the activities. Whether it was letting a little child open a Christmas present or helping a family pai their home, many communit people realized that Grace stu- dents are more than just a group of young people who invade their town during the school year. ‘ S S Po 2 Ea: ‘ a oe | oe SS a SES s ET SEEN ast and I LEE: AE o ae Opening 5 A smile here, a grimmace there, a look of consternation or thoughtfulness. Students’ faces are the most common sight on Grace’s campus. Faces from the past or present are all a part of Grace. Many of these faces are sec- ond or third generation faces from a family. Like their rel- atives who attended Grace, they came to receive an ed- ucation in a Christian setting with a Christian perspective.

Campus Life 7 On Friday, October 10, 1986, the Inauguration for the fourth President of Grace Schools took place. The Presidential Inauguration of Dr. John Davis consisted of a formal ceremony at Rodeheaver Auditorium. Because the 1986-87 school year was also the 50th anniver- sary of Grace, the Inauguration of Dr. Davis ushered in a whole new era for the college and seminary. The desire Dr. Davis holds for his administration is to em- phasize the local, national, and global outreach to the lost world. This goal is to be ac- complished by training students spiritually, intellec- tually, and socially so that they will be well equipped to think and live a Christian life which will bring honor and glory to God.

Right: The students enjoy a variety of different speakers, slides and film presentations for chapel. 10 Campus Life Chapels at Grace are taken very seriously. The main focus, as is with all things on Grace cam- pus, is God centered. Many schools are making chapels and Bible studies optional, whereas here, though mandatory, are looked forward to by stu- dents as a time of spiritual awakening and growth as shown to us by a number of speakers.

There are times spent in the dorm you would rather forget — like those — nights you spent cramming for finals or that — paper you put off until the last minute and _then stayed up all night in Alpha lobby to type it. Through the joys and the agonies, good rela- tionships are made strong with Ly other members of your dorm. There are also those evenings when the mess is swept under the bed, the desk is straighten- . - and the door is opened to welcome visitors _ “open dorms.” But once you have created — Ae positive false impression, said your good- _ byes, shut your door, and dragged out your mess to resume its usual position, dorm life can go on as normal, 12 Campus Life Campus Life 13 Day of Prayer Grace College set aside two days during the 86-87 school year for the sole purpose of prayer. These days not only gave the students a needed break from their studies, but also an opportunity to focus on the things of the Lord. These were times of inward searching to set life priorities straight and times of looking out- ward toward the needs of others. _ During the spring semester Day of Prayer, our campus experienced heart revival through the powerful teaching of Mike Slater. He opened eyes to the Christian’s task if being a “stretcher bearer.’”’ He showed many ex- amples where God’s people saw their respon- | sibility to build up their brothers and sisters — by eliminating the secondary issues. He shared how God does the saving of souls and the healing of sick, but how His people can meet the needs of those by whom they’re sur- rounded. By sharing these truths, he opened eyes to the needs of others and called the students to be “stretcher bearers’ to one another. The love of Christ has become more evident on Grace campus since the meassages | by Mr. Slater. The students are praying that this work that strengthens the family of Christ should continue to be seendailyinlives. 14 Campus Life The class members who did not take part in the game could be seen both sitting and standing he annual Beanie Bowl was _ along the sidelines to help cheer eld between the Freshmen and_ on their class teams.

Campus Life 15 While it is true that Grace students come to college to study and get an education for a future career, that is not the only thing they do on cam- pus. Most students for one reason or another end up finding a job either on or off campus. Whether it be working in the cafeteria dishroom or working at a nearby clothing store, Grace students can be found doing many jobs. Top: One of the most asked for jobs is that of work- ing Alpha desk. Susie Cahill is one of the lucky ones this year.

Right: Jack Gelley is not happy with pulling dishroom duty today. 16 Campus Life Grace College may not be the fashion capital of In- diana, but it does have many unique trends. From long sweaters and t-shirts to tropical print shorts and wild sunglasses, students sport the latest look. Ap- parel ranges from hall shirts to ministry team dress, from creative hats to unique run- ning shorts.

Freshmen were woken up at 3:00 in the morning and marched out in front of the dorm. The girls learned their song,‘‘We love you Beta Boys’, that they had to sing to the guys. After they sang the guys got their chance to learn“ We love you Alpha Girls” and sang it to the girls. After the singing was over everyone was marched over to Alpha hill and the Freshmen had to slide down to the bottom where they got flour thrown on them. Next, they were taken to the soccer field to have oatmeal smeared on them. Actually, the whole ordeal would not have been so bad except for the fact that it was raining the entire time this was going on. The Freshmen had great attitudes about the whole mess, they made the best of the Grace tradtion and it really turned out to be a fun time. 54 Album Hey, isn’t this fun?! Jeanette Benjert, Melissa Garber and Shawna Nisley are going to have fun getting th oatmeal out of their clothes. It’s suppose to be great for the hair.

Just what is the Heritage staff, besides a group (small group) of dedicated students who spend long hours, look at peoples’ faces, try to draw straight and even lines, write captions and copy and try to come up with catchy Past Heritage Editors 76 Orgaanizations headings that rarely anyone reads, all while not going insane? Not a whole lot more — that about covers what the staff does. This year the Heritage staff was under a great amount of pressure from, not only the editor, but also the students, the advisors (Coach Don Cramer and Nora Macon), and even Dean Snively. With the problems of last year’s book and not meeting deadlines, the staff had the job of digging out and try- ing to salvage the book’s reputa- tion in the eyes of the faculty and students. There were many long hours spent in putting this book together. Working on the year- book staff is not a glorious job, like that of volunteering for Timothy Teams and Lighthouse. These students volunteer or pay for an hour or two of credit. The only remarks they hear about their job is from other students when a name is misspelled or they don’t like a picture — in other words, complaints. Being on yearbook staff is one of the behind-the-scene jobs that no one ever thinks about until the yearbooks aren’t in when they should be. Then it’s, “Where are the yearbooks?” or ‘When are they coming in?” Take a good hard look at this book and notice all the work that has gone into it. Then take a minute and let the staff know if you liked it. They would really appreciate hearing that they dida good job and would feel like more than just an insane small group of students. eee Some of the Sounding Board workers are: Ron Stief, Jerry Goshert, Mark Huntington, Scott Beam, Twyla Burger, and Amy Keith. Reporting the news and views of Grace College students is the task of the Sounding Board. Editor Scott Beam says that the purpose of the newspaper is “‘to give mail to those who normally don’t get it, to watch people get agitated at editorials, to make people popular by printing their picture, and to give at least a little news to a news-ignorant campus.” Some of the areas they try to cover involve school and com- munity activities, overseas students, Who’s Who students, lives of past Gracies, and fun ac- tivities such as Valentine messages. Along with Scott Beam as Ex- ecutive Editor, other students in- volved are: news page editor, Renee Cripe; editorial editor, Twyla Burger; feature page editor, Beth Farner; sports page editor, Ron Stief; business manager, Doug Snyder; head photographer, Dennis Buller; and reporters: Mark Huntington, Amy Keith, David S.

The Social Activities Board is a branch of student government that promotes and coordinates social activities for the devel- opment and welfare of the stu- dents and the rest of the col- lege community. Activities have includes films, contests, the Beach Party, weekend trips, skiing trips, Homecom- ing, concerts and games. The purpose of S.A.B. is to pro- vide fun and entertainment for the campus as well as inter- action among the students and encouragement in building lasting relatio nships. 78 Organizations ee iC, Kim Blackwell said, “It helped me to meet a lot more people.” “The interaction has taught me a lot about myself and how to re- spond in different situations,”’ added Susie Cahill.

Its goal is to represent the student body in whatever manner is nec- essary. It is a mediator between the students and the faculty, staff and administration. It is designed to promote and recommend _ policies and actions which will benefit the student body and be a | positive contribution to the Christian atmosphere of Grace. It also desires to build a relationship with the Warsaw community _through participation. Student Senate is responsible for booksales, the blood mobile, chapel four times a year, refrigeration rentals, Advent services, elections, student body scholarships, and other tasks. Some of the highlights of the 1986-87 school year have been Fall Fest, the community Christmas party, and singer speaker John Fisher for the the chapel series. Senate has also been very active in the revision and review of the Christian Commitment. The group felt that the work done in this document is very important because it | will affect the students of years. Officers were: Todd Davis, president; Don Flenar, vice president; Diane Beck, secretary; Martha Thieme, treasurer; and Dean Bruce _ Barlow, advisor. “Student Senate is an opportunity for students to make an important impact on the social and spiritual aspects of what we at Grace College look forward to being in the fu- ture.”-Tim Caldwell “Student Senate generates a real at- titude of service combined with the spirit of fun. That’s exciting to be a part of.”-Stephanie Webb “Senate is hot and jammin’ in ’87.’’- Chris Thifault “Senate provides an excellent op- portunity for Grace students to de- velop their leadership potential in preparation to fill their future roles as leaders in church and society.”’- Mark Huntington “Student Senate is great people with great ideas to help improve our school.”-Laura Dunstan Organizations 79 This year EMF is represented by Jeff Patton, Linda Beachem, Michele Farner, Jonathon Carey, and Scott Fetter. The puppet team organized and practiced so it could perform for various churches and schools during the year. Mainly for children but enjoyed by all ages, these puppets and their performers bring a message of hope in their program. This year’s team members were Paul Hickey, Bruce Brumm, Todd Thomas, Brian Larson, and Angie Kochenderfer. Organizations 80 How can Grace College students reach out to members of the Warsaw community? Many opportunities are provided in the various ministry teams, one of which is Lighthouse Company. Composed of 15-20 college students, this team serves as a Big Brother Big Sister program for underpriviledged kids in the surrounding community. Each member is a “counselor” to a child; however, he is also a friend, a refuge for when he has no one else to turn to. This year Lighthouse Company organized four retreats for the kids and emphasized weekly one-on-one visits and outings between counselor and child. Ken Anderson’s Tree-House farm provided a new experience for some of the kids who had never been out in the country before; ponies, mules, and geese as well as a spacious barn created quite a unique atmosphere for the kids as well as perfect opportunity to enjoy God’s diverse creation. The three other retreats were all held on campus. Meals at the Lamp were fun for the kids and a definite “experience” for the counselors — Winona Lake ducks were fed enough popcorn to last them for quite awhile! But despite the routine for the counselors, the kids enjoyed staying in the dorm and the different life of a college student. Relationships were established that will not ever be lost, and that is what Lighthouse Company is all about. by Martha Thieme Organizations 81 CC I my Promise —P The Promise Players is a team of students who present the gospel through drama and _ singing. Many of the churches they travel to enjoy this unique way of presenting the Bible and the team enjoys using its talents as a ministry. This year the Promise Players traveled to California for their two week tour in December. They also went to many other churches along the way. Although they enjoyed the beautiful weather and beaches, they were really challenged by the fact that the people in California really need to hear the Word of God.

The team’s break was not that of any normal traveling team this year. The group encountered many things while on the road to Colorado like snowstorms and road blocks. They also had an experience that would frighten anyone when coming across a wrecked car. The students involved in Sound Investment look at the oganiza- tion as an opportunity to develop their communication skills, to improve their musical ability and to help them understand what ministry and encouragement really involves. Along with these goals, this traveling group is given the chance to represent Grace Col- lege in various churches for in- forming and recruiting purposes.

The _ thirty-two member choir, under the direction of Professor Don Ogden, sang in over twenty churches, stayed in many homes, and even had the chance to lay on the beach in beautiful weather for four days. During the second semester, the choir traveled to local churches and other churches every Sunday and ministered through songs. They also welcomed many new members into the choir for a total! of 60 to sing in the Easter Musical, Handel’s ‘‘Messiah”’. Right: Some of the choir members soak up the sun on the beautiful Florida beaches. 86 Organizations The Community Orchestra, di- rected by Mrs. Ethel Anderson, is made up of Warsaw com- munity members as well as Grace College students. It is a unique way to reach into the community and make friends and contacts. The Orchestra performs a yearly Christmas concert at Rodeheaver Auditorium and various other concerts throughout the year. It is the only performance outlet for string players in the area. Orchestra members practice many hours alone and together to produce the beautiful mu- sic. And people in the com- munity enjoy hearing them perform. Part of the Christmas Concert is given by a special violin group including Yang Xi and Stephanie Gould, graduates of Grace College. Many people from the community come to listen to the performance. Organizations 87 The Timothy Team program went through a transition process during the 1986-87 school year. Started in 1978, through the Grace Brethren Christian Educa- tion office as an outreach for Grace Brethren students in col- lege, it ministered to youth groups in Grace Brethren Chur- ches in Ohio, Michigan, and In- diana. This year it came under the supervision of Grace Ministries in Action and college students assumed more leader- ship. Lee Seese and Randy Flick led teams to Lima and Fairlawn, Ohio, respectively, in the fall. The teams built relationships with youth by teaching them practical ministry skills. Hopeful- ly, the point was reached where the kids could be challenged specifically in their walks and lives for God. 88 Organizations In the spring, Randy led a tean to Brookville, Ohio, and Eric Allebach headed up a team to Union, Ohio. Timothy Teams strive to serve Christ by serving kids. In past years, there have been a number of teams that have gone to various states to minister to youth groups. In 1985, four teams went out from Grace. One of those teams was led by Steve Adriansen who was a member of the very first TT to travel. Since their beginning, teams have gone to Akron and Columbus, Ohio, and Elkhart, Ft. Wayne, and In- dian Heights, Indiana Grace Brethren Churches. Some of the past leaders have been Marshall Noriega, Lee Seese, Steve Adriansen, Jim Folsom, Rolly Ortega, and Brian Roseborough.

It provides oppor- tunities for using the art facilities and promotes art on campus and in the community in a Christian context.

What started out as an idea tossed around at the dinner table in ear- ly fall turned into a year-long music ministry — Reflections. A few women with a lot of desire to sing for the Lord became the quartet. The group traveled on weekends to surrounding states, performed special music and ‘sang at banquets in the Warsaw area, and went on a spring tour to the east coast. The original group with Terrill Labuff and Marna Burnham was able to join Image in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and in chapel first semester. Second semester, when Janine and Bethanie joined the group, Reflections shared during the student leadership confer- ence and in a chapel with Re- sounding Brass in addition to their weekend concerts. The women’s repertoire included sa- cred and secular of contemporary and traditional styles. Most of the arrangements were original with Reflections. The goal of the group was to re- flect Christ’s love in testimony and song. While striving for that goal, each member learned a great deal and became much closer to the Lord and each other as a result. — Sheena Kirchner Organizations 91 International students, or aliens as the government refers to us: to some peo- ple we are strange and unusual, but to others we are fascinating and unique. We are not aliens, rather, we are peo- ple just like the rest of you. We strug- gle in our studies, face other problems, miss our parents and friends from back home. Inspite of our differing perspectives, our goal and focus is hopefully the same. The bond we have in Christ is the bond that unites us. It transcends nationality and cultural differences. It is not important where we come from, but where our eternal destination is. That is what God is concerned about. On behalf of the rest of the interna- tional students, thanks for a great year. To those of you in the student body who have befriended us, its been much appreciated. I came to Grace in the fall, uncertain about the school, but thanks to the students and faculty alike, I’ve fallen in love with Grace. by Clive Craigen Jail Team Where would you expect to encounter men who have come to the end of themselves? Where would you go to interact with people who don’t have any answers except that fate rules their lives? One such place that a few Grace students are penetrating is the Kosciusko County Jail. Several Grace men have been going to the jail every other Monday night to spend a few hours with the prisoners. The evening basically boils down to playing basketball and having a short devotional with the men.

The life of a person in jail is ob- viously not an extremely exciting existence. Their days come and go without any real meaning. By going into the jail hopefully an outlet for them is provided to share their problems. Unfortu- nately, they often would rather play basketball than talk about spiritual things. jcircle K members include Susan Takacs, Roxane Lotz, Anne Bortner, Paul Finley, Harold Schmoecker, Brian Snyder and (not pictured) Tim Alcorn and Jenny DeYoung. This club involves mostly business majors, but at the same time is “ppen to anyone interested. The main purpose of the group is to inform students about different aspects of the business world and to allow them to build relationships with community businessmen and also be of service to the community through various projects. Although the group got off to a late start during the second se- _mester, some noteworthy guest speakers, such as Mayor Jeff Plank and Chuck Yeager, President of SYM Financial Corporation, made oresentations. Under the sponsorship of Prof. Owens, a strong foundation was laid for next year’s club. “Circle-K is not a group of ac- countants, business majors, or computer people pushing buttons on a calculator. We are a group of people who want to see what the business world is like by having busi- nessmen tell us about their specific field.”’-Paul Finley Organizations 93 GMA members are Bob Buhler, Dino Butler, Dennis Crumbly, Kevin Williamson, Jerry Goshert, Daror Butler, Darrin Williams, Sharon Diffenderfer, Robyn Crosby, and Jackie Gelsinger.

Now then gentlemen, let’s recruit!” Jack Devereaux, Jim Mitchell, Mike Yocum, Ben Young, and Jim Zapf traversed the country in search of students to fill the hallowed halls of Gracedom. Their treks covered 35 states, over 50,000 miles and more than 300 concerts. In excess of 35,000 people heard IMAGE as they sang at churches, conventions, schools, camps, banquets, recep- tions, youth meetings, and conferences. It is difficult to. pinpoint the ef- fectiveness of a group like this, due to many variables. But, in- terest in Grace is up, acceptances are up, and if IMAGE can claim even a small part of that, their mission was a success. 98 Organizations Top: Mark Major and Greg Singleton prepare for rehearsal of the spring play “You Can’t Take It With You”, directed by Steve Grill.

Rip-Your-Roommate was an opportunity for many people to date the girl or guy of their dreams or of their nightmares. The date may have been a known person or he she may have been a complete stranger. There was much anticipation and some fear that evening. Both the girls and guys were wondering with whom their roommate fixed them up. Ac- tivities for the night included games at the Lamp and a bon- fire afterward. | Kellie Swartz and Andy Alcorn talk and get to know each other before the bonfire at the Winona Lake beach. This year’s Jr.-Sr. Banquet took place the last weekend in April. The setting was one of ships, pier ties, and fish netting draped from the ceiling of Beyer Home. Pic- tures and refreshments started the night at the mansion. Students then traveled to the Ft. Wayne Marriott for a_ special dinner. After the meal, the Juniors show- ed the traditional slides of the Seniors. This was followed by pianist, Tom Howard. The couples gather at the refreshment table to chat with friends. Beyer Home turns from home sweet home to the center of attention for the evening of the banquet. 102 Events a A IO A iE: eel apse? 103 Hi! Let me introduce myself to you. I am the sun. Now, I’m sure you're all wondering, ‘“‘What is the sun doing in the yearbook?” Well, I thought that since I have such a perfect vantage point to witness all of the events, I should be the one to report on “A Black Tie Affair.” The whole weekend began Fri- day morning with Dr. Davis’s in- auguration. Rodeheaver was packed with students, faculty, and other guests. The ceremony was very formal and regal as we witnessed Dr. Davis’s induction into the presidency. Before I retired for the evening, I managed to sneak into the Cor- onation Ceremony. Wow, what a big production! Rev. and Mrs. Stevens received the honor of Parents of the Year; Dr. and Mrs. Kent were recognized for their many years of service to Grace Schools; and, of course, the Homecoming Queen was crowned. Dee Dee Dagwell was crowned Homecoming Queen and the Ohman Brass presented a concert for everyone’s en- joyment. I got up bright and early Saturday morning. Boy, there sure were a lot of things going on that day! Breakfast, reunions, golf tour- naments, and other games occured all day. The annual Alumni basketball game _ took place with the 1986-87 team clin- ching another victory. The after- noon brought Concordia to the 104 Events Dr. and Mrs. Homer Kent open the presents given in honor of his presidency. soccer field. I must say, it was a lot more enjoyable for me to watch the game directly instead of having to peer through clouds that whole time! And what a game to be able to see — Grace trounced Concordia 6-0! The weekend finally began to wind down with the Homecom- ing Banquet. It was really fun to see everyone dressed up and hav- ing such a good time. But my ment. Image gave a fabulous and fun performance along with some student participation in drama and song. With that end to an eventfu weekend I drifted off to sleep After finally being able to par ticipate in everything, I’m reall looking forward to next year.

The 1987 Spring play, put on by the Communications Department, was “You Can’t Take It With You,” written by Kaufman and Hart. The play is set in the 1930s during the Great Depres- sion. The action takes place in the home of Martin (Grandpa) Vanderhoff. With him lives his daughter, Penny, and her husband, Paul Sycamore; their daughters, Alice and Essie, and Essie’s husband, Ed; Rheba and Donald and Mr. De Pinna, the iceman who came 8 years ago and decided to stay. The house is a place where you can do as you like with no questions asked. The message was an encouraging one of the ‘abundant life” that God has given us. Cast Penelope Sycamore...

Flutist Renee Cripe performed not only for her recital but also during chapel. Anyone who wants to be in G- Club must go through the traditional G-Club initiation. Now this may not sound like it would be too hard, but if you have ever heard rumors of this infamous tradition, one might have second thoughts of join- ing the club. Not only do the initiatees take part in chapel, but they also help carry the trays (as in all of them) in the cafeteria up to the dish room. Later in the evening these students entertain their fellow peers during an exam study break. This activity takes place in Alpha lobby where the guys must go through various challenges and tests before becoming a G-Club member. The initatees help the chapel band by using their drums while being alert for the two despised words — ” air raid”. Drew Gano finds soccer a lot easier to deal with than the initiation. David Brown, Rob Cripe and Drew Gano lead chapel attenders in a song. Events 109 Con fe The 1986 Grace Missionary Conference speaker was Dr. Russell E. Ebersole Jr. A graduate of Wheaton Col- lege and Wheaton Graduate School, Dr. Ebersole serves as the Executive Adminis- trator for the Far East with the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism. This year’s conference theme song was the Moody Bible Institute class song of 1974, which fit appropriate- ly. The song was “I Want to Grow in Jesus Christ my Lords Forty different seminars were held from which stu- dents could choose to at- tend. Topics ranged from missionaries on furlough to Grace students on summer mission trips. One of the strong or- ganizations on campus has been the mission- ary association. Begin- ning back in 1949 as the missionary prayer group, it was called the Foreign Missionary Fellowship from 1951- 53. In 1953, the name was changed to World Missionary Fellow- ship. Students gath- ered to learn about the needs of missionaries and mission fields and to support them in prayer. 110 Events s our school ’ It Se a a AEE Vang PAB AH BERLE ncn 111 Yes, even the tourists showed up for the Beach party, as shown here by Jon Deloe.

This party, held at the Center Lake Pavilion, was the culmination of a month of hard work organized by Patty Reeves. Students who were in charge of specific areas were as follows: publicity-Drew Gano, food-Jamie Botdorf, gifts-Beth Holiday, decorations-Tammy Summers, Deb Deboer, and Julie Serres, and transportation-Jerry Goshert. collected a Grace students substantial amount of food and 2,400 gifts for the party. The celebration at Center Lake ministered to both the needy families and the students. The gospel and love of Jesus Christ was demonstrated by students as they talked with parents, held children, and cared for those who came. The evening’s events concluded with a short Gospel message and the dispersing of gifts. The celebration of Christmas was a reality because God’s spirit worked in people. The evening cannot be described accurately. Who can explain the spirit of love? The heart of the holidays was the working hand of salvation and faith. It was the middleclass college students sit-. ting and listening to the man with the tatoo whose breath reeked of alcohol. It was the dirty little kid listening to Promise Players and hearing something he had never heard. It was the joy of the people) as they gave and received friend- ship.

Written! by Todd Davis Wendell Miller leads the children in Christmas songs before they begin opening their presents. 116 Events Has Christmas been forgotten? Does its meaning today live? Or is it simply selfish greed, And not God’s love we give. While we sample many tasty treats, And sing our favorite songs, Does thoughts of Christ’s great sacrifice, Mingle right along? As the children visit Santa Claus, And we trim our Christmas tree, Is Jesus proud we bear His name, Or does He watch sadly? As Christmas day draws near, Let’s not think selfish thoughts, But let’s remember God’s great gift, The Christ, people forgot. Events 117 In the weeks before May 16, an annual ritual began in the Billy Sunday Tabernacle. The doors were opened as well as the side windows to let the spring breeze carry out the musty smell of being closed up all year. The lights were checked and changed where needed, and the sawdust floor was raked. On May 16, an annual event took place in the Tabernacle. The event — the Grace College and Seminary Graduation ex- ercises. While excited parents, grandparents, husbands, wives, children, and other rel- atives and friends assem- bled,the graduates filed in. Suddenly the hard work was worth it. For most graduates, this day came after four years of study, while for others it was after many years of hard work. For all it was a time of rejoicing.

The 1986-87 school year at Grace College will always be for me a very special monument to God’s faithfulness and a community’s thoughtfulness. As the new president of Grace Schools, I faced many uncharted waters and unknown landscapes, but moved across them with con- fidence because an army of sup- porting students, staff and faculty members marched with me. This was a year of celebration. Grace Schools, which were founded in 1937, looked back on 50 years of unique and significant progress in education and spiritual impact. The dedication of godly professors, the solid sup- port of thousands across the country and God’s amazing in- tervention have combined to give us a rich heritage. This was also a year of communi- ty building. Combined faculty meetings with the seminary, staff coffee breaks, “rocking chair’ chapels, lunch with the students, dorm meetings and fireside chats all helped to bring us together as the family God intended us to be. Administrative changes, new vi- sions for ministry, impact in our community and a fresh commit- ment to spiritual life point to a very bright future under God. This, indeed, was a very special year. 124 Faculty Congratulations tothe W.T.GRANTS Lakes Village Shopping Center Class of 1973 from Rt. 30 E., Warsaw, Indiana PENGUIN : Advertisements Top: This picture represents one of the recent changes to come to the Warsaw area.

Your parents, John and Barbara Cox Senior Section 139 140 The 1987 Heritage staff has tried to convey a theme of history. As one can see, much research and thought has gone into producing this book. If not for the hard work of the staff and many other volunteers, this book would have never been finished. From the first thoughts of theme to the final typing of the copy, our thoughts revolved around a reflection of Grace. I would like to take this opportunity to thank as many people as possible so you will know who has helped produce this book. Working hard as my staff were Kristy Medert, Heidi Snyder, Brian Weaver, Judy Davis, Emily Walters, Rich Barrett, Dennis Buller, and Lisa Pollard. There were also the many writers who wrote either spur-of-the-moment or preplanned articles: Martha Thieme, Patti Reeves, Clive Craigen, and Debbie Davidson. Randy Flick and Robyn Crosby lent us photos or negatives to fill our pages. Many helped identify photos including Deb DeBoer, Angie Ryman, Beth Luster, Lisa Buriff, and other Hotel girls. Last but not least, there were those who helped support me in those long nights before a deadline: Julie Schroeder, Lisa Yocum, Coach Cramer, Nora Macon, and Mrs. Coverstone. I know there are others whose names slipped by, but I still say ‘‘thank you.” Many people work together to produce a book. More people are needed to help with Grace’s publications. Anyone and everyone can help. I hope you have liked this year’s Heritage. My only request is that you say thanks to the people who worked so hard to bring it to you. Thank you so much, Shannon Kelley Heritage Editor ‘Grace College Grace Theological Seminary ‘Winona Lake �
