Montreat Anderson College - Agape / Sundial Yearbook (Montreat, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1976 volume:

With all its lovely colors a rainbow fills my mind, of thoughts about a peaceful rain and the calm it leaves behind; J remember too the rainbow you gave me with your smile, the way we laughed and all held hands and shared life for a while; My memory's like a rainbow of all my closest friends, With special thoughts of special things upon which my life depends; Someday these friends will mean so much when time has made us part, the memory of the things we did we’ll keep inside our heart; Til think now of the rainbow and of how our friendship grew, and hope that when we say good-bye, this rainbow’s part of you.

It is common knowledge that in his capacity as chaplain, and as a true friend he is always willing to lend an ear and a helping hand. For all these things, we thank you, and we love you, CALVIN 5 6 7 i uuuy vs. ± q By Dr. Calvin Thielman ■2 w g 5 g 2. iw |.p5wc= H 2- gj S 2 w S’. i “Fililll Homer''rr ,‘nrf CVvnH- This is the year of America’s Bi- centennial Celebration, and I cannot help but reflect upon those who first came to this country—the Pilgrims. It is fashionable these days to ridi- cule the Puritans. But think about it. What kind of character did it take to cling to the cold and rocky coast of New England? It took men and women with convictions like granite and a backbone like steel to found Dr. Thi 1 (k « 5- o o o- 8 s 2. - P e- M 2 00 ■13§5'w6i5� 2m 5S all8 §•� §?.as? a o cr § §• g i « o 15 12 BI i g 2 ss ? 1; « 5 sr r c £ a n m cl •g 3 £ S? i? % % t VS .0. ..fc .

Our record was poor yet we tallied 17 goals against our opponents. This season did much more for the team. It strengthened our faith in the Lord.

Well, tbe answer, oddly enough, lay in those asking the question. That is, the Student Christi on Association consists of tbe body of Christ on campus. The association has a but they are only here to act as bead of tbe body. A tody needs a bead; that’s the of- ficer’s Job -it’s the believers, though, that make the SCAwhat it is, for they are the association, a unified body of Christ sold out to God. The SCA has one desire, to love., for we believe if we hac not God’s love, we would be nothing.

DUST IN THE CORNER 57 GREYBEARD PLAYERS The Theatre department of Montreat- Anderson has been fortunate to have the superb direction of Dr. K . He came to us two years ago, after heading the theatri- cal department of Lees College in Ken- tucky. Once again as head of a theatre group, Dr. Kinnison's twenty years of ex- perience and creative know how has made THE GREYBEARD PLAYERS a name known to Western N .C. This year's productions included, TEN LITTLE INDIANS, THE ODD COUPLE, WILL THE REAL JESUS STAND UP?, and THE BAD SEED. Dr. Kinnison has certainly put time, effort and patience into his work here at Montreat. And as he would say, It takes a heap of living to make a house a home.

The Drug Scene is one. the penalty was ten to years with no bail. twelve Four Montreat students; Cindy Jones, Ken Wilkinson, and Glinda and Preston Parrish, supported by the Billy Graham association, were given the opportunity to go to Mexico for six weeks this past summer and distribute Bibles to American prisoners. “Our main objective,” said Cindy,“was to offer the American prisoners Bibles. A total of one hundred Bibles were given away. We would pray that the Lord would give us a chance to talk to them about Him.” Curiously enough the women weren’t as open minded as the men- because they were into practicing yoga. on and they their bami States.
