Commencement Shelly Quackenbush is obviously pleased by the fact Russell James waves to Mom, Dad and friends with that she has completed her race. unashamed glee. Family and friends in the balcony look on while some applaud as a loved one passes across the platform.

{ommencement A special moment in the commencement exercises was when Ruth Balciunas re- ceived her diploma. Ruth has been a tremendous testimony to the entire Hyles-Anderson student body through her de- termination. She had lost her legs in an auto accident. Her courage and convictions are a testimony to what a true, Christ-like attitude really ought to be. We are thankful that as we reflect back on this year, we can remember Ruth Balciunas as a part of this class as a soul winner, a pray- er warrior, a student; all in all, a very special lady. What an incredible chal- lenge to realize that a lady who is a double amputee has been responsible for winning over 100 souls to the Lord each year of her four year ten- ure at Hyles-Anderson.

Miss Hylander And Mr. Hylander Carolann Yoshida Kevin Albert The outstanding honor bestowed by Hyles-Anderson College is that of Mr. Hylander and Miss Hylander. The two recipients this year have certainly lived lives that have been beyond reproach. These brief summaries of their lives here at Hyles-Anderson will help to give you a picture of two people who are truly dedicated and sold out. We honor Carolann Yoshida and Kevin Albert for this outstanding achievement. Carolann Yoshida is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hiroski Yoshida of Canoga Park, California. Carolann has been a worker in the “B” junior church ministry of First Baptist church for three years, a worker in the “B” nursery one semester and a worker in the “B” soul winning ministry for three years. Carolann has worked on the same bus route all four years that she has been at Hyles-Anderson College. You will often see Carolann sitting in church with a little bus girl under one arm, and seated next to her a Chicago teenage girl who obviously has found just the right kind of example for a Christian lady. Carolann has maintained a busy schedule while participating in several singing groups for the college including the Hylander Chorale and traveling for the college in a summer tour group. Miss Yoshida received a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in secondary education. She marched summa cum laude. Kevin Albert is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Albert of Blacksburg, Virginia. He is married to the former Patty Doyle, who was the 1985 Miss Hylander. “Brother Kevin,” as he is known to his many bus kids, has been in the bus ministry for over three years. He has been a bus captain for two years and a division leader for the past year. He has been in the Fishermen’s Club, in the “F” Sunday school ministry, a teacher in Junior I and the superin- tendent of the Junior III “B” department for one year. While in the dorms, Kevin served as a dorm monitor for several years and participated in the intramural sports program. Kevin was called to preach in 1980 at the Southwide Baptist Fellowship. Kevin received his eens of Science degree with a major in pastoral theology. He marched magna cum aude.
