Praise to thee, our Alma Mater, moulder of mankind; Greater glory, love unending, be forever thine. Balmy breezes gently wafted through inspiring halls, Mem ' ry ' s leaflets closely twining shall fore ' er recall Yesterdays that waken in our hearts a tender glow, Making greater still the love that we have learned to know. Ever onward be our watchword, conquer in each test; We owe a life of loyal service to old B.T.S.. Praise to thee, our Alma Mater, moulder of mankind; Greater glory, love unending, be forever thine. ZENO C. THARP, President A clear judgment, a keen insight and business ability; a consistent, sin- cere, and inspiring form of practical godliness; a heart of understanding and compassion, always ready to hear any caller; a ready humor and hearty laugh at any hour of the busy day — this is the Brother Tharp who has won our confidence and endeared himself to our hearts. To him, the students of B.T.S. wholeheartedly dedicate this, our first, VINDAGUA. A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Life is what you make it. The one who gets the most out of life is the one who puts the most into life; therefore, put all you have into it. The fel- low who enjoys life most is the fellow who can take its knocks and jolts the easiest, who can endure hardness as a good soldier. You have been taught to face life courageously, to strike straight at the heart of anything that might keep you from your best. You have been in- fused with power to live. This power must be released in service; your gifts must be shared with others. The school, the Church and the world are counting on you. I know you will not fail. Let your light so shine that thousands of others will get at least a glimpse of its blazing glory and come for light and warmth and power. ZENO C. THARP. J. H.

Presented to the Bible Training School for the new auditorium, it stands a tribute to hard work and willing cooperation with its president, Fletcher Phillips, and its beloved sponsor, Zeno C. Tharp. The present Senior Class has well exceeded any previous class financial- ly, having nearly doubled their goal of $500 by the end of March. In ad- dition to the piano, another important project was the purchase of fifty copies of the Vindagua, each member being presented one.

In order to provide an opportunity for our young men and women to attend college where godliness and morality are upheld, the School Board, through much prayer and hard work, has added the Junior Col- lege Department to the B.T.S. this year. Efforts have been made to se- cure the best instructors possible, and the total enrollment has been around twenty-five. Accreditation is expected within a year or two. Remembering the small Bible School in Cleveland many years ago, this is indeed an encouraging beginning, and prospects are good for its future.

The Commercial Department has been an important and growing phase of the school ' s work for nearly twelve years. The efficiency of its students is proven by the many positions now held by its graduates. The students shown and listed above are all working for college credit.

The Christian Workers ' Department was started twenty-four years ago with six members in Cleveland. Slowly it has grown, but surely. Its graduates have been its best advertisement, and many former students are now sending their sons and daughters to B.T.S.. By 1937 the school, as a whole, numbering 157, had outgrown its old home and was moved to Sevierville in 1938. This department has enjoyed steady growth up to the present year. A Correspondence Course also has been main- tained for twenty-one years. GEORGE BROOME President HERBERT AMBRIS Vice-President ANNIE BRIDGES Secretary ERNEST ANGLEY Treasurer sat ik ■ .

Realizing the great need of a Christian environment for students of the preparatory school age, Rev. J. H. Walker introduced the Commer- cial and High School departments about twelve years ago. Since that time, the growth of the High School Department has been steady, and its efficiency has increased so that it is an asset to the school. The student body has grown until this year the High School has even surpassed the Christian Workers ' Course in enrollment. Hun- dreds of alumni have enthusiastically testified that this school, where God is put first, is different from any other institution they have ever attended. LOCHIE B.

To foster a missionary spirit is the aim of this Society, whose meetings have been an inspiration and a blessing throughout the year. Some in this group feel the burden of the regions beyond, and undoubtedly missionaries will come from its number. Sponsored by the Church of God Mission Board, and the Missionary Society the his- tory of the Church of God missions work was written during the year by its president.

LIBRARY PROJECT At the beginning of the year a Library Club was formed for the purpose of the building up of the library, which was inadequate for the accreditation of the schcol. This being a vital interest of the Junior College Class, they therefore joined hands with the Library Club. As a result of hard work and cooperation, there had been an in- crease of over 2,200 volumes, and more than half of the $500.00 goal had been reached by the middle of March. The picture above shows some members busily sending out letters Plays, debates, recitals, and lectures are presented by the various organizations from time to time for the entertainment and benefit of the students, and in order that proper emphasis may be laid on public expression. The picture above is a flash from a humorous play given by the Speech Club on the evening of February 27, 1942. Here we see the defense thrown into dismay when the evidence number one, who was brought in dead, sud- denly comes to life to contest the argument. Laurel Falls Great Smoky Mountains National Park MUSIC LEROY CARVER, head of the Voice Department, a talented yet humble mu- sician, has brought en- joyment to all of us by his beautiful tenor voice. DORA P. MYERS, head of the Piano Department, a capable and efficient teacher of piano for many years, features more the classical phase of playing and teaching. ESEL GIBSON, guitarist and teacher, shows Junior Hamilton a new position. WANDA LEE STEPHENS, teacher of accordion, dem- onstrates to Amelia Roseman an E flat chord. COLLEEN HUFF, the school ' s talented pi- anist, a ready accompanist, and teacher of nearly sixty piano lessons a week, helps Sister Waits with a difficult passage. MARY LEE BELL, MAHDEEN McCOY, LOCHIE B. WHITENER, COLLEEN HUFF The B.T.S. Quartet has won a place in the hearts of countless listeners in many parts of the country with their sweetly blended voices and inspiring songs. Or- ganized last year, faithfulness seems to be their motto, always ready with a song. LeROY CARVER, J. C. VAUGHN, LUTHER TURNER, JAMES GOINS The Male Quartet became a favorite at once upon organizing, and enjoyed in- creasing popularity for several months, while the group was together in school. Other men ' s quartets have been organ- ized since. MARIE WHITENER, EVELYN WALKER MARGRETTA THACKER Affectionately known as Mickey ' s Trio, for its leader, Margretta Thacker, these girls have been the leading trio dur- ing the term, winning friends in other cities as well as in B.T.S. JOSEPH FLOWERS, HORACE PARKER These zealous young men have prob- ably done as much for the Lord ' s work as anyone in school, conducting various re- vival meetings; boys always ready to pray and sing. WINONA JERNIGAN, MYRTLE PAULK, AVADINE HIPPS, VALERIE BEAUBE Organized at the first of the year as the daughters of present overseers in the Church, the Overseers ' Quartet has done consistent singing throughout the term. MARGUERITE DEAL, MARIE KILGORE, PAULINE ELLIS, DOROTHY HEFNER Of more recent beginning is Marguerite Deal ' s Quartet, named for its soprano singer. Their blend and expression have won them a place as one of the leading quartets, giving excellent premise for the future. NOVELLA THARP, MRS. M. B. STEPHENS, WANDA LEE STEPHENS The Stephens Trio has been faithful in the work of the Lord for nearly two years, traveling to various churches and conventions, and conducting revivals. AVADINE HIPPS, ELIZABETH FORD, VELMA SIMS, MARGRETTA THACKER The Senior Quartet, organized only in the past few weeks, has quickly proven its ability and brought the Lord ' s bless- ing on its audience. , TALENT FOR GOD The band meets each Tuesday night for rehearsal. Under the direction of Esel Gibson, guitar teacher, interesting arrangements are prepared, which add to the enjoyment of the Sunday night services and singing conventions.

SINGING CONVENTION Hundreds of people gather into the auditorium monthly for enjoyable community sing- ing conventions, so characteristic of the South. New songs are sung under various direc- tors and the different singers render special numbers. Adding to the interest of these con- ventions is the appearance of local and out-of-town talent. This is the singing convention of Sunday afternoon, February 22, 1942. The new auditorium in which the last singing convention of this term is to be held, will seat twice the approximately 450 gathered here. Carl Williams entered this school five years ago consider- ably handicapped physically. He was always cheerful, how- ever, and had the courage and the determination to press forward, completing the high school and the Bible courses, and working part of the time. Carl plays the piano and guitar; and his xylophone, here shown, is an interesting feature of both the band and the school. CARL T. WILLIAMS Brain Trust STAFF Whatsoever thy hand fiftieth to do, do it with thy might. Eccl. 9:10. There is a joy in working, a thrill in crea- tive effort. There is a satisfaction, for ex- ample, in making a good picture, and a deep gratefulness for faithful and willing cooperation. But these of themselves are only the work of men, and there should the credit for man ' s work cease. Nourish your work with prayer and tears, and add to your ef- fort the blessing of God, and you will pro- duce results which are not only appre- ciated by men, but enduring in the sight of God. To Him the credit belongs. HORACE McCRACKEN EDITOR A hearty Thank you! to all our sponsors, students, and friends who have helped make this annual possible. I feel its contents outweigh our labors and I pray that the joy of remembrance and the Spirit of God will reward you for your kindness and cooperation with us in compiling it. —CLIFFORD BRIDGES BUSINESS MANAGER STAFF ■ r- Back row: Benjamin DeLay, assistant editor; Claude Phillips, assistant photographer; Loree Burnett, editorial secretary; Wanda Carey, snapshot editor; Charles Rogers, art editor; Esel Gibson, assistant photographer.
