Twenty-nine years ago they had a vision . . . but more than that, they had courage and a spirit of sacrifice. They were willing to give not only of their time but of their substance . . . they gave all. The result is that young people are being trained year after year in head, heart, and hand on a beautiful campus in an unusual atmosphere. The stu- dents of John Brown University have a great heritage. Before them has been set a great example. The staff of the '48 Pioneer hopes that the following pages will show a little of the pioneering and the progress made under the leadership of these inimitable pioneers, Dr. and Mrs. John E. Brown. 1 Foreword... 5 We, the 1948 PIONEER Staff, present the 1948 PIONEER, r trusting it is an annual that will be enjoyed not only now 4 but in the years to come. Centered around the thought of progress, the '48 Pioneer endeavors to present, in a small way, the amazing progress of John Brown University. Lookingifrom the past through the present year, it is truly y a Panorama of Progress. The pioneering. spirit of John , Brown University is not dead. That same spirit that in- , spired the past is alive today in the hearts of staff and stu- dents. It will permeate the future-It will lead John Brown University to even greater achievements-It will lead her graduates out into successful endeavors. As long as that spirit is built upon a firm belief in Jesus Christ, a belief that gives one the faith, the courage, the strength to pioneer, we can look to the future with confidence. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. THE STAFF. v If I ,jf M , 5 5 P W, .. px. , , .

This obviously posed picture interrupted the activity of early day Siloam Springs business men, for this is a scene in pioneer Siloam Springs. These were men who were setting out in a virgin village, a settlement with an unknown but hopeful future stretching before it. Population has increased, businesss has increased, and opportunities have increased. Siloam Springs has been fulfilling all that was hoped and planned for it. Today the cityifs future still stretches out invitingly with even better days promised ahead. . There has been quite a crop harvested from this field. The picture will not reveal it, no matter how closely it is scrutinized. You have to be a person of vision if you are to get the full import of the statement above. This is the cornfield that was plowed under to serve as the site of the Southwestern Collegiate Institute, now John Brown University .... the spot John E. Brown visioned as a fertile field for turning out annual crops of the type this country needs. Men and women who know what they're about .... graduates who are well on the road to success by the time they leave the institution. It has produced well, this cornfield. John E. Brown and his co-laborers can well be happy in the increase God has granted. Signs of unusual activity are evident in John Brown's cornfield. Some- thing is being planted there besides corn. Those men are not using spades and hoes, they are wielding hammers and saws instead. The foundation is being laid for the first building of the college. The year is 1919, and the building under construction is the White Building. The completed structure is shown in the background in the picture of the first student body Lthree pages overj. It furnished classroom space, dormitory space, kitchen, dining room, and chapel. This was the nucleus of the structure erected to house the growing university. Here, too, are pioneers. Dr. Brown needed men and women of spirit and courage to aid him in this new venture in education. It wasn't easy at first. Whoever thought of a college being so bold as to try to train the hearts and hands of its students as Well as their minds! Hard-shelled educators, used to the old idea of education, called the program prepos- terous: but far-sighted, Well-qualified teachers who believed in the idea of threefold education were sought out and invited to join in the venture. On this page you see the first faculty. I -v fafvwa ,,: 5 iw .

The student body, too, had to have its firsts, and here they are. They were not blessed with the assurance the present day students have that this plan of education could fit their needs. They had no old grads to verify the idea that such an educational program could train for success. The first students had to have the pioneering spirit in abundance to be instru- mental in the testing of this new idea. We salute themg we owe them much. Here they areg they have completed the first year. Staff and students have weathered it through and have come out with flying colors. It was a good year, and they looked forward to telling others about their suc- cessful year in America's pioneering university. CSO far as we know, those youngsters in the foreground are not children of G. I. students.J The building in the background is still an attractive part of the campus, serving the past few years as teachers' quarters. Ahlf Those were the days when the gay blades and the shy young swains made conversation with discreet propriety to the young ladies of the campus on pleasant Sunday afternoons. The social hour is the feature picture here. The setting is in front of the old fthen newb White Build- ing. It is rumored that the sighs and the 4'eyes of those social hours were as fatal as the smiles and the wiles of the modern, every-day con- tacts. School statistics have shown that many a heart was softened and many a match was made during the popular Sunday afternoon social hour. In July, 1922, Dr. Francis Russell, a Berkeley, California, minister, lifted the first spadeful of earth from the site that was to beg The California Building? Located on the east edge of the campus, overlooking a beauti- ful valley, the building was to furnish much needed dormitory space. Financed by friends in California, much of the Work on the building was actually done by California students. Carefully planned and constructed, it was soon ready for service, and has been the university home of hun- dreds of students each year since. For all but a very brief time, the California Building has been occupied by girls, with the boys residing in the J. Alvin Brown Hall, the South Hill Dormitory, and the Memorial Dormitory. There was a jolly Welshrnan . . . His name was Joshua Williams and he loved music. Youlll find him fifth from the left in this picture, and ranged on either side of him are the seven university men who made up the first band. What this first band lacked in numbers, they made up in pep and ambition. They were always on hand to add the sparkle of band music to any campus occasion, meantime building their own practice quarters, the log cabin you see in the background. The band has grown with the University, until it now numbers about five times the number you see here. Of course, they long ago outgrew their headquarters and, under the direction of Mr. Paul Whit- more, the current band has developed into a concert as well as a marching band, developing real musicianship among a still greater percentage of the student body. This was the refuge for the music makers back in the early days of the school. It is the log cabinpconstructed in 1921 by the band boys Call seven of theml to serve as a rehearsal hall for their organization. It was set somewhat apart from the rest of the school buildings and dormitories so as not to disturb the peace and quiet of the campus. Many an hour's hard work was put in here as the band prepared their repertoire for a busy year's activities. The cabin still stands today, serving as a landmark from the school's early days.

U. will always remember the picturesque scenes found on College Hill'-Amid the beauties of nature rest the cedar-shingled classroom buildings and the native stone administration building-The dormitories of red brick with White trim give the needed color in Winter to relieve any drabness of spacious White snow banks. The guest house pictured below is an excellent example of the various types of architec- ture found on the hill. One of the first scenes to greet the new student of J. B. U. is the PATH leading up the hill to the entrance of the University-Soon the student becomes familar with the classroom PATHS, and the Weil-traveled PATH to the Coffee Shop-But perhaps the best known trail would be The PATH to home, when day is done. Students coming from Sunday morn- ing services in the Cathedral of the Ozarks follow a PATH to the dining hall along these sidewalks-On week days the fellows pour in from South Hill Dorm, but when the dinner bell rings, the PATHS stand dormant under branching trees. Summer is the time for dreaming-a rest in the sun-still it is a lovely time to Walk over the campus and absorb a little Vita- min D-Then when Winter breaks forth in snowy whiteness everything takes on a different covering-snow balls, sled rides, rubber boots, and Warm gloves are much in evidence during the Winter months.

B? U. as Well as the students, you can easily recognize the University Store which houses the automobile parts shop, the book store, and the Coffee Shop. Known as the H5000 Watts Voice of the Ozarks, KUOA is the commercial radio station located in the heart of the J. B. U. campus-Countless hours of training can be had in the many radio fields, and actual experience can be gained by the student in his vocational hours. The M.O. Building, which houses most of the academic classrooms, will long be remembered by many students as an avenue of know- ledge. Particularly suited to the setting of undisturbed trees and nat- ural beauty the M.O. is one of the most attractive buildings on the Hill. WY- ,A ,, Common cries issuing from the classroom doors are, 4'Hey, Joe, you're latel' and 4'Let's make a hasty retreat from Historyf' A new building on College Hill is the Science Lab. Here is learned the knowldge of formulas and equa- tions. The Mechanical building is a mass of machines, parts, and en- gines. Vocational time is spent here training for a particular field. Another new building is the Recreational Building. A well rounded sports program handled by intramural lead- ers offers students relaxation from book work? 'nba-k 0 X-twin Believing every woman should know how to cook, the John Brown Universityhoffers numerous courses in Home Economics. Located in the Blood Memorial Building, the Home Economics Department is one of the best of the University departments. Attractive kitchen units give ample opportunity for first hand operation, While three big reception rooms provide lovely surroundings for luncheons, parties, and informal gather- ings.

Brown, LL.D., Chairman of the Board It was with pride and joy that Dr. John E. Brown on April 3, 1948, announced that John Brown, Jr., had become the new president of the University. John Brown, Jr., is the youngest university president in the United States, and the administration of John Brown University takes another step in its pioneering. The new president has the love and respect of the student body. They will do their part to help him in his new responsibilities. Dr. Brown will serve as the chairman of the board and executive committee and will continue to work with the interest of the University at his heart. On the following pages are others of the administration. Storm H. Whaley, B.A. Executive Vice President John E. Brown, Jr., B.S., President , ,W li oe'Yk. 55ro5xXx, resvbeox o ikvai? Exeskstax6,x T.

With the Christian guidance and leader- ship students receive in the Bible Department, they are equipped to meet the nation's urgent need for alert Christian leaders. The Bible Depart- ment is evangelistic, fundamental in doctrine, and inter-denominational in belief. Every student on the campus has a Bible course each semester along with his academic and vocational subjects and every Bible class has a definate spiritual aim and purpose. Many ministerial students receive much practical experience in teaching The Word through fellowship points held throughout the surrounding communities. The Christian Fellowship sponsors the evangelistic services at the beginning of each semester, and help the pastor with many different services. 1 C smitxiie2'QestafY1ent'a Ear ' T oi Couege ieSS0 Bible of me Pio' 'M A--1 Dean Miss Alberta Patterson, Th.B., Associ- ate Professor of Doctrine Stuart R.

Stu- dents in music are given opportunity to use their ability in chapel and over station KUOA. Those majoring in the field may spend their vo- cational time in the music department training to be better musicians. The band plays for many games and special programs. Each semester it presents a concert to the student body as well as many instrumental numbers in various meetings throughout the year. , PTO' 1, N1.Nlus6h0ral M bex Oie5?nyi?'?1vx,S02 Oi the 'Ss a i Us d D 6 Nh u3,lUg2xix College of Miss Elizabeth J.

Twenty-nine years ago it was Dr. BroWn's dream that a college graduate be trained both in theoretical and actual phases of work. Today it is a reality. The departments are so designed that the student may have actual experience as well as the theory when he has finished. In the classroom the student gains a through knowledge of the theory of the subject from the class- room he goes into the laboratory Where he puts the theory into pratical use. It is not the actual work that counts, but the experience the student receives. Some of the schools included in the Vocational college are Agri- culture, Home Economics, Printing, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Aeronautics, each with a well equipped laboratory. To- day, more than ever before, the world is realizing the need of skilled Workers with a Christian testimony. J. B.

Cook, B.A., M.A., Professor of Physics Although Well noted for its vocational specialization, the importance of academic training in developing an intelligent and Well-educated student is not forgotten on College Hill. Academic training gives the student a surer background when he is in search of work. Employers are anxious that their employees know how to make contacts and hold a conversation. The importance of the command of the English language and speech can- not be over-emphasized. Other subjects such as psychology, philosophy, and the social sciences help the' student to understand their associates and give them a broader outlook on life. With the Christian leadership in our Academic College, students receive instruction of the highest type and are well able to meet the demands of the World. msc-l B - 1 Hd W O0d1aHdChem1StryAe?f1iC Dfvfomy if-:SSOY of me Aw Miss D., PIO of ligxing Dean College Thomas B.

Stepping out with sure footsteps, the Sen- iors are just beginning to make the world sit up and take notice of them. Ida M. Adolphson, from Topeka, Kan- sas, has been the capable editor of the '48 Pioneer, a member of the Who's Who in American Colleges and Univer- sities of '48, and active in W.A.A., F.M. F., and Choir work. Graduating with a major in English, she will receive a B.A. degree. A B.S. degree with a ma- jor in Radio will be the coveted pos- session of Melvin K. Anderson from Pine Bluffs, Wyoming, when h-e is gradu- ated. A member of the Science C,ub, Aviation C ub, and F.M.F., Melvin has had a wide range of interests on College Hill. An Electrical Engineer, Palmer Anthony, Jr., from Bearden, Arkansas, w.ll soon receive his B.S. degree. An active member of the Engineers Club, he was knighted on St. Patrick's day in their ceremonies. Connie Baker irom Farmington, Arkansas, is another of tho:e t'Who's Who peop'e. A B.A. de- gree with major in Bible constitutes her academic work, while the Choir, Triple Trio, W.A.A., Boosters, and Christian Fellowship are only a few of her activities. Dorothy Ann Bast from Siloam Springs, Arkansas, has a BS. degree with major in Education ready to be handed to her at commence- ment. Working as a member of the Triple Trio, Boosters, Business Club, Junior Class President, and Choir are her ttminor accomplishments. Millard Box of Anderson, Missouri, will receive an A.B. degree with major in English very soon. Editor of the 'KWay of Life, evangelistic paper, Millard is pastor of the Anderson Baptist Church, and is director of the Way of Life Broadcast over KUOA. Max Brammer of Rogers, Arkansas, will be graduated with a B.A. degree with major in Trade and Indus- trial Education. A member of the En- gineers C ub, he also received his knight- hood this year. Ira Chancery from Houston, Texas, will soon receive her B.A. degree with major in Bible. The Science Club has been her main activity.

Elmer Schewe Was from Waterloo, Illinois, and is remembered as a quiet, unassuming fellow with a great interest in aviation. His going came as a shock to many-though a challenge to others. His friends miss him, and J.B.U. regrets this loss to the student body.

Loaded with bag- gage and high hopes for a new year, students came from every corner of the country and rnany foreign places. Each face wasfafstudy of varying crnotion. Some adjusted somewhat uneasy smiles. Others were beaming broadly, glad to be at last in J. B. U .... all sliiwcd eagerness to get into the swing of a new year. s I 3 , Mmisbiifsgg 1 ff x 'sa g sf H A , if , , Uctuber October's bright, blue weather afforded a good opportunity for the school's Fall Intramural Day.i The entire student body was divided into sides, the traditional Blues and Golds, and fought tooth and nail for top honors' in the day's scores. The Golds nosed out the Blues in the final competition, and our spotlight is focused on Orlena Shipley and Sayer Canova, the' Intramural Royalty.

It is almost magical in its effect on one andall. Students anticipate the winter holiday which offers them opportunity to go home or to be with friends and loved ones for a few days. The campus is almost deserted, but those who do remain unite to keep Christmas and enjoy their holiday together. This is the highlight of December. January HH?

And that meant the end of the semester, and THAT meant final semester examinations! Oh, woe! Here was the day of reckoning. John BroWn's younguns knew that unless they got busy and crammed hard, SOME people would think they hadnlt studied all semester. Well. They did, and most of them came through with flying colors. Februar We shall best remember February as the month of banquets. Seems as if it has always worked out that way. The Boosters gave a banquet for the new students land the old ones too, of coursel, then there was the traditional Washington's Birthday Banquet with fried chicken and cherry pic and the Triple Trio and the lVIen's Gloe Club singing. Oh, yes! Valentine's Day had to be celebrated, too. So, all in all, it was a gala month. 'l arch Q M m . Everyone knows that March seventeenth is Saint Patrick's Day, but if they've been to J.B.U. they know it is more than that. It's Engineers' Day on the campus. In 1948, they made more than a full day's cele- bration of it. Clubs set up booths and decorated floats for the Engineers' Parade in town. Local merchants and industrialists helped make a success of the festivities ruled over by Susan Briggs and Charles Butler. Laffy 'Wiki i like April brought the Spring Intramural Day. Unsuspected prowess blos- somed forth with the flowers and trees and once again all the students sid- cd up in various competitions. The end of the day stacked up the closest score on record. The Golds once again topped the Blues, but this time by only one point. Their candidates, Lorene Livingston and Bill George, were crowned king and queen. 'f K s I, 'U M af? i ' 3i S'i21bi3i'22 .

Once again there was the flurry of finals, the last chance parties and pic- nics, the earnest, delightful Work of preparing for Commencement ac- tivities. Seniors were in their heyday, and then. . . books Were put away, bags were packed and goodbyes were said. It was over, there were other tasks ahead. Highlights 'f .-HW The primary aim on the hill is to throughly prepare men and women to become useful leaders in whatever field they are found. Developing a keen, Well-trained mind is an essential part of that preparation. Students on the hill not only carry their books to classes, they learn to carry the contents in their minds. ig, F- X, X al Two tough classes on any campus seem to be found in the chemistry and biology labs. Few will iforget the hours, the smells, the work connected with these classes. There's no mis- take in putting the cof- fee shop between these two pictures-the coffee shop is where you'1l find most of the students be- tween classes, anyway. Many modes of study are found on the cam- pus. Some must have comfort-so choose the soft, cool grass. Just how much studying ac- tually gets done is de- batable. Others, such as Art Glidwell and George Brenneman, make good use of any spare mo- ment at their vocation. Those who want real peace and quiet seek the library-and there find it. l it Cathedral uf the Uzarlas 5 3 T f 1 - 7 It gmay be Mr. Whitmore giving a lesson . . . . . or Miss Oiesen directing the choir . .

'AM 5 ,mllvlllliiiiiilillUm, The Cathedral Choir has had a wonderful year. Under the most capable learership of Miss Oiesen, the choir has sung in many churches and schools in Arkansas and Oklahoma bringing inspiration to many. An outstanding event of the year was the Easter presentation over the Mutual Broadcasting System, an event few members will forget. Broadcasting is nothing new to the choir, however, for they bring the Cathedral Hour into hundreds of homes every Sunday morning over KUOA. A Spring Festivali' brought the season to a glorious climax. Traveling in two busses, the choir took its trip. There were many inter- esting happenings but who will forget Janie Mac sleeping on Norm's shoulder CThey woke too fast for the cameramanj or praticing as the bus bounced along Csuch at Miss Oiesen is seen doing vsiith the Men's Chorusj? 2-WWW v .agrees f ' af f' 5 Once again John Brown University has a band.

As this scene portrays the center of the J BU campus, just so the Spiritual atmosphere of the campus takes the center of student life. Only when the heart is right with God can the student expect to be completely pre- pared to take his rightful place in the world. Thus, an important text- book at J BU is the Bible, a solid foundation on which to build a perman- ent future. Though primarily for the benfit of students looking forward toward the field, the Foreign Missions Fellowship is aimed at all students who are interested in hearing about the work and in intercessory prayer. The Fall semester found Wilford Anderson at the wheel, with LeVern Young, Orlena Shipley, and Wilma Phillips as his ever-ready assistants. With the Spring term, new officers were chosen. President was Arthur Arnold, Vice President, Laurin Bruckner, Secretary-Treasurer, Gwen Cline, and Hardy Hayes for Publicity. Each officer left his position thankful for the challenges and blessings which were his during his period of service. Young Peoples N Y . Teamwork is the word with the Young Peop1e's Group. Rounding out a full and eventful year, the officers can really sit back knowing it has also been successful. Mary Shaw so ably led the group as Presi- dent during the Fall semester that she was unanimous- ly chosen to fill the same position for the spring term. In the Fall, Mary was assisted by LeRoy Reese as Vice President and Bob Parker as Secretary. In the Spring, the group chose Byrd Brunnemeir as Vice President and Jack Cousins as Secretary to carry out the many activities. Assisting these officers has been Mr. Ro- gene Weathers, the young 'peoples sponsor for the year. I Still placing the emphisis on teamwork the Young People's Group is divided into four teams, each one to be responsible for a meeting a month. Group Leaders are chosen each semester to be in charge, planning the details for Sunday evening meetings. Taking over for the Fall were Bernard Shaw Cnot picturedl, Paul Pol- son, Ed Seiford, and Roger Weaver. Hearty applause was given these as they retired in the Spring when J im Coleman, Les Hromas, Wilma Phillips, and David Showalter were placed in harness. With the aid of the various group members, the programs planned and given were a help and an inspiration to all who attended., Group Leaders 1 i Prayer is a real part of the life of a Christian student. Thus Mrs. McCleskey QMother Mac J divided the girls dorm into small prayer groups. These groups meet once a Week for a short devotional and then for prayer. It has been a blessing to all. Leaders for the groups this year have been Wilma Phillips, Rosemary Porter, Gladys Williams, Mary Ellen Lowder, J onelle Wilson, Orlena Shipley, Pat Stockebrand, Ida Adolphson, Ilo Leach, Mary Shaw, Bea Lennier, Lorene Livingston, and Connie Baker. Who will forget Dr. Farmer with his marve- lous voice and inspiring messages at the Missionary Conference? Saturday night means street meeting -this night must have been a cold one. Sunday means fellowship points for many students. Some are back in the hills on rock roads, but who minds that? W Christian lflelluwship 'J' 1.257 Those who are members of the Christian Fellowship group will tell you what a joy it is to serve the Lord in the vari- ous University Fellowship Points. These students take care of small country churches, Sunday schools, and young peo- ple's groups, faithfully giving out the Word of God. They then meet Monday evenings for an enjoyable time of fel- lowship and the sharing of countless blessings that have come their Ways. The Harvest truly is great. ft J . W' ff .f ff, I Prayer eating n An important part of Spiritual Life on the Hill is the Wednesday evening prayer meeting group. A truly I high point in the Week, many students turn out for fellowship in a combined prayer and Bible study meeting. Entirely in charge of the students, the prayer meeting is led by a dif- ferent member each week. It's not uncommon to hear on Wednesday evenings: Come on, let's go to prayer meeting. gg,-0-00-Q.. People who know how to do things are the ones who are able to go places today. The most unique part of the program at JBU is the training of the Hand. Thorough preparation in a chosen vocation is a must in the life of every student on the hill. As a result, the men and Women who leave JBU after four years are thoroughly prepared and skilled to be useful workmen, able to make the most of every opportunity that comes their Way. The hand is well trained at J. B. U.-Regular departments such as busi- ness training are aptly maintained by students. Witness Miss Dorthy Bast as the efficient secretary of Doctor Brown-Shorthand doesn't phase her well-shapened mind. Miss Iris Dean Farley makes a pleasant looking University operator? The business office is quite a busy place, although here it looks nearly deserted-President Brown, Kathryn Combs, and Webb Brown can be clearly defined amoung the desks, counters, and machines. K Reading the teletype is an interesting pastime of KUOA radio announcers. Art Glidewell prepares some script for the air, while the KUOA transmitter beams brightly in the blue sky-ready to serve the public. Byrd Brunemeier helps to keep everything under con- trol at the transmitter. ' x Up at KJBU, students such at Jim Willems re- ceive preliminary training in control room Work. Engineers are offered experience on actual sets, and announcers can train for regular duty at KUOA. Walt Siemens was ready for a transfer when this picture Was made.

E i Mary Shaw Combining charm, vivacity, and a joyful spirit, Mary Shaw from Pittsburg, Kansas, throws all her abundant energy into each task she undertakes.

Voted by his fellow-students as the Most Studiousj, Jim sets a high goal for others as well as himself. His clear-cut Christian testimony rings out as a challenge to all who know him. He shows that it's possible to be human as well as studious. Gladys Williams Described as pint-sized, Gladys Williams proves the Valuable things Come in small packages. Though she has been chosen as Most Studious Girl on the Campus, Gladys is always ready for a time ol' lun and fellowship. An honor student, she spent one year at Moody Bib'e Institute before coming to J.B.U. Moody's loss has indeed been a welcome addition here on the Hill. 1 , Sayer Canova Students on the Hill chose their Boosters president, Sayer Canova, as the 4'Best-Liked Fellow on the campus. Sayer's ever-ready smile and warm friendliness are contagious parts of his personality.

Jane Mc.Cleskey is always on hand with a ready smile, plus a challenging Christian Testimony that has proven workable. V Leonard Anderson Leonard Anderson says hels 'ljust a good old Swede, that's all. But his fellow- students have reached the decision that he is also the Most Handsome Man' on the campus. Quiet and unassuming, some say Leonard is the bashful type Be that as it may, one can easily see how he lays claim to the title. Ann Wright When the ballots were counted for the 'tMost Attractive Girl at J.B.U., Ann Wright's name easily headed the list. Very talented, friendly, and with a sweet Christian disposition, she definitely gives the lie to the old adage, Ubeautiful, but dumb.
