EARLIEST STGDENTS: In 25 years, more than 16,000 students have enrolled at Lubbock Christian College.

Their main interest may be in history, home economics or accounting. They come from small towns and large cities, from rural high schools, big city schools and junior colleges.

MODERN PIONEERS Most of the students receive far more at Lubbock Christian College than they ever dreamed: they learn to get along with others away from home, they make a voca- tional choice, they form lifetime friendships, and they may meet and marry their life’s companion. At a critical time in their lives, students find themselves as they relate to spiritual and patriotic values and then find their place in the church and community. LCC’s former students have through the years taken their place as vibrant roots. A7 1 — Warren McNeill, president of the student body, conducts the weekly Stu- dent Senate meeting. 2 — Sharyn Ausmus (Mrs. Jerry Webb, Lubbock), Class of 1962. 3 — Dr. Jerry Dunn, Dallas dentist, Class of 1965. 4 — LCC students today may major in any one of 52 academic programs. 5 — Dr. Mike Williams, Amarillo physician, Class of 1968. 6 — Rodney Blackwood, LCC’s current Agriculture Department Head, Class of 1963. 7 — Books are put aside to enjoy the sunshine. 8 — Percy Francis, First Business Manager of the College. 9 — Just thinking of the “good ol’ days.””
