continuous plot that over-shadowed our other actions. But without some means of releasing our tensions, the late-night study peri- ods , visual-aid preparations , and overtime lab sessions would have become completely unbearable. So. we all involved ourselves in sub-plots of activities that helped to make the LCC story a best seller. Joining a social club became a kind of comic relief, saving us temporarily from homework worries. Romance also added flavor to the sequence of events as girls and guys alike did their best to impress a pro- spective date . And tragic events - the fall of a reigning foosball king or the growing spider web in a roommate's mailbox - drew us closer together. With a full load of classes, church involvement, club activities, dates, and dorm gatherings, setting priorities was a must for all of us to keep our heads on straight. Conflicting demands overlapped so often that we were weary for an ending to our year's story. nn,.,. For most of us, the climax was sim- ply the finals we faced with little energy left to take them. The denoue- ment came when we turned in the last test paper, threw our things in the car trunk, said goodbye to friends - some of whom we might never see again - and checked in our room keys. But for seniors there remained the anticipation of graduation with all its solemnity and grandeur. 1 Agri I' i Ill ' llg 'rlvu 'll li! v. Es- 9 1 -E I Ill f' . . l Im' an Tj I P .

s the '76-'77 story of LCC developed page after page through a plot of activities and achievements of charac- ters, the readers of community saw something more in the book of LCC, than simply and curriculum. By reading tween the lines, they thought the symbolic message, or that we knew existed at LCC. ecause the founding purpose of our was to provide Christian edu- the oneness we felt and the love that we shared came easily. We found many opportunities on campus to show our love for God through daily chapel, senate-sponsored devotionals, dorm Bible studies, service organiza- tions, and Bible classes. This preva- lent feeling of UNITY IN CHRIST was intense as LCC helped us become more aware of the real and omnipotent Author of our book. These worship activities made us feel the theme of our story in our daily routines. Whether standing arm-in- arm after a competitive intramural game or picking up trash to help beau- tify the campus, we still felt this divinely guided oneness. When a teacher stayed overtime to help us with a problem, when a room- mate gave up sleep to help us study for a test, or when a friend offered to do our laundry, we knew there was a spe- cial love around us to be cherished. Whether academic, social, or spirit- ual, this thread of oneness ran through our every activity to make the '76-'77 chapter of LCC a c1assic to remem- ber. f'ew, J 1 . PREFACE 9
