It is appropriate, then, to recognize the achievements of three Parkites who have been an intricate part of the Park Family. Each has helped create many of the memories we hear so often (indeed, are tradition) and each is challenged to buld memories ourselves for now and for the future. This book is dedicated to Francis Fishburn, Mary Lou Tipton and Bill Tipton with love and respect for their individual and collective contributions to Park College, their Alma Mater, as it continues to “Come Alive.

Shawn French and Ted Glickey congratulate one another after winning the Regional Championship. “Three out of four ain’t bad!” And that was the case with the Park College soccer team. At the onset of the 1984 season, the team and head coach Ben Popoola set four goals for the team to accomplish. The first phase was to make the playoffs, the second to win districts, the third to take regionals and the fourth goal was to win Nationals, Popoola said. The Pirates achieved three of those four goals in posting a 21-2-1 record, and earned a trip to Fresno, California to compete in the NAIA Championship Tournament. The ' dream season ' was halted in Fresno when the Pirates failed to advance to semi-final play. Nevertheless, the Pirates and their fans were all smiles after a season that featured a win over national power Rockhurst, a climb into the national rankings top 10, and a season that produced the National Coaches Association 1984 Midwest coach of the year for Ben Popoola. With a strong team developed throughout the season and solid recruiting in the off-season, a bright future for the Pirates seems assured. 55 . v Ben Popoola Coach-of- the-Year Ben Popoola has been Park ' s soccer coach for two years and was instrumental in the successful 1984 season which took the Pirates to Fresno, California for the NAIA National Tournament (Ben ' s first National Tourney and Park ' s first since the 1960 ' s). Ben ' s career in soccer began in his native Nigeria. He played in high school and was on the All- African team in 1974. He spent five years on the Nigerian National team. Ben was named NAIA District Coach-of-the-Year and Mid-West Region Coach-of-the-Year in 1984. He has earned the respect of his players and peers. i i 57 MgHWPi Send this postcard home ft Christmas Greetings from the Park Family SI t: ' ' Christmas! 58 What would we do without him? -4 j • U.Pt e.ff.cP.CP.cf.c r,rcxt - ■ n We believe in Santa I Claus. 60 61 An aggressive play by the Lady Hoopsters.

Some teams won and others struggled towards victory only to find defeat. The strength and dedication of all athletes made every one of them a winner in the end. The first of our sports teams to set Park on the trail of victory was the soccer team. Led by Ben Popoola, the soccer team went to Nationals for the first time since 1961. Fresno, California, was the site and our dedicated Pirates tied one game and lost the second. Our next team to go was the men ' s and women ' s Cross Country teams. For the fifth year in a row our Pirate runners reached the national mark. The record of third and fourth were set and broken by our runners. This was the first year for the Ozark Conference Meet and our runners won. The men ' s team has had for the second year in a row more Academic All- Americans than any other team in the country. These were Brian Hoffman, Dave More and Brad Webb er. Both the men ' s and women ' s indoor and outdoor track teams had great seasons. The women ' s indoor team won their second consecutive district championship and the men ' s team won their third. They finished eleventh overall in national competition. All-Americans for indoor track were: Bunny Jackson, 5th in the 600; Mark Gregory, 6th in the 600; Charles Nance, 3rd in the triple jump; and Dave More 3rd in the nation in the 100. This competition was held in Kansas City. The Outdoor Nationals were held in Hillsdale, Michigan and again Charles Nance showed his superiority. He placed fourth in the triple jump and gained All- American status. He was the first male trackster to win twice the regular All-American title in men ' s track. Nance has been making the trip to Nationals for three seasons now and teammates Chris Perrone and Wayne Schope joined him this year. An interesting statistic is the fact that this year ' s junior class runners have yet to lose a district championship. This year ' s National Meet was held here at Park College. This was the third consecutive year for the men and the second for the women. It is easy to observe that Park College has not only talented students in the academic area but also well-rounded and talented athletes. This year ' s sports accomplishments and memories will not soon be forgotten. On this very page of the yearbook are enough achievements to last a lifetime. 71 Timing is everything. This is where the true geniuses hang out. Is this how we do it?! 72 73 Dancing the Uliglit Away Time out on the Riverboat Barb Weller and another conquest? The spring semester was filled with activities and events: tournies, convocations, awareness weeks, mid-terms and Spring Break. Two of the most popular events were the Spring Fling, held April 13, and the Riverboat Dance, held May 5th. Each dance was sponsored and hosted by the College Activities Board (CAB). Spring Fling was a poolside semi-formal held at the Airport Hilton Hotel. An hors d ' oeuvres buffet was provided and the live music of Gatzby. Students danced in the tropical setting . . . and some even managed to take a swim early in the evening. Many changed from semi-formal dress to Island casualness and everyone enjoyed the moonlight view. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Spring Fling Queen Marla Hurshman and King George Lodes. The Riverboat was a successful evening of dance, moonlight and fun. After a delay at the dock, the cruise began and the music, too. D.J. Greg Alan, from KLSI, kept the music going while the students, and some from the other docks, crowded on to the dance floor, out to the deck and back again. Both the Spring Fling and the Riverboat provided good times and memories for all. While Chris Carder stands mezmerized, Marc Ploivman goes in for the steal.

Black Student Union provides Park College with an organization that helps to promote the ethnic diversity of the college and its students.

CAB formulates, organizes, publicizes and implements activities for Park students. CAB has sponsored and co¬ sponsored many activities throughout the year. These range from the Harvest Fest Dance to Spring Fling and the Riverboat Dance. CAB is composed of volunteers and an executive director. It is the cooperation among its members that gives many of their activities great success.

In doing so, the club attempted to function more actively on campus with all organizations and activities—to become part of the ' Park Family ' in every sense. To achieve such an end, Christian Fellowship sponsored a Slave Auction, Come and Share Talent Show, campfire, a dance, a float trip and many other activities. Participating in the intramurals and functions sponsored by other clubs added to the spirit of CF throughout the year. They sponsored an all night study session during Finals Week. ■ ■ � m. 1 .sbp ■ . - . mmm CF devils get ready for the bed race. Lori, Brian, Loye, Janice, Gareth and Dawna. Data. Processing Management Association The Data Processing Management Association was developed to foster among students a better understanding of the vital business role of data processing and the proper relationship of data processing to management. A professional attitude is a necessity among data processors in their approach to an understanding and application of the principles underlying the science of data processing. The DPMA club sponsored a bake sale in the Galley as a fund raiser. 97 The International Club International Club The purpose of the International Club of Park College is to advance international friendship and understanding in the Park College community through social and cultural activities.

The club spent the year performing and preparing for advancement. They performed at the Graceland Homecoming and went to Texas over Spring Break to promote the opening of a martial arts school there. The most significant performance, however, was the International Dinner on campus. The club performed in the theatre after the dinner.

Devotions are held each Wednesday night. Leadership at Devotions comes through the dorm chaplains and Religious Life Directors Ray and Lois Irby. Church services held each week (Catholic, non-denominational and RLDS) provide an atmosphere and opportunity to worship. Also contributing to the success of the program are the Christian Fellowship and Fellowship of Christian Athletes clubs. Each strives to uphold and encourage Christian living as a way of life. Commitment to achieving campus fellowship included fun activities such as intramurals and tournies, as well as specific activities such as the float trip, counseling and weekly services. ‘Mama ' s Little Angels be jammin ' .

The Park College Student Association is a group of students elected by the student body to represent them on college issues. The PCSA Senate has many committees to facilitate this. These committees are: Traffic Control Board, By-Laws, Grievance, Awards, Campus Safety and Food Service committees. These groups try to solve or answer concerns that make students unhappy or that are unfair. This year the Senate not only approved and monitored budgets, but they also sponsored a Skip-A-Meal for Ethiopia and donated funds so the soccer team could go to Nationals. The PCSA also gave money to the Cross Country team and the Martial Arts Club for their trip to Texas. 1 11 Mr. Politician m i, -• : ,V A S 5 112 ± t Nancy Powell, editor. The Journal Work on the Journal began early in the fall semester as editors Jeff Fox and Nancy Powell began the search for quality writing by students, faculty and staff. Publicity requesting these pieces of creative writing came in many forms: posters, word-of-mouth, and door-to-door soliciting. When the time came for layout, proofreading and editing, Jeff and Nancy received help from Journalism Practicum students. With the work done, the last aspect of the Journal was experienced—student re¬ action . . . which was in approval of the ' classic, dignified style ' of the Journal. 114 - On the other hand . . .

The Stylus features news about the daily events on campus, sports, editorials and even our very own entertainment features. The Stylus was ' put to press ' every Wednesday evening under the direction and supervision of Assistant Professor of Journalism Thom Storey and Editor Russell Viers. This year ' s Stylus staff was the largest ever and frequently produced eight page spreads for the first time in Park history. ! i 115 The infamous Narva editor. The IVarva Marla and I are proud to present this book to you. We made a lot of mistakes, but, more importantly, we learned from this past year ' s work. We learned about yearbook production, time management, bureaucracy, stress and even friendship. As I look at this Narva, I am filled with memories not seen on the pages—as I hope you are. Memories of good times and bad—but mostly good. That ' s the way it should be. Turn the pages and laugh, or cry, smile, or frown. Enjoy it and criticize it.

She was killed in 1905 by a violent mob. Chesnut Hall, however, was erected not once but twice. The original Chesnut was built in 1908 and the present one was built in 1955 after being torched by a fire. Undergoing the many changes in the past few years, Chesnut has continued to survive. It is a place where not only the memories of today are made, but ones of yesteryear that will live forever. tig?

Arthur Herr and his two sisters, Mabel and Jessie, gave $10,000 which was added to their previous gift of $100,000 and assured the construction of the Donald Davis Herr House—a four-story dormitory for women. Herr House has continued through the years to function as a dormitory and today it houses upperclass women. This year the Herr House women sponsored a Herr House Celebration, sold flowers for Valentine ' s Day (raising $350), and was the place for the annual Christian Fellowship Dance. Hawley, the freshman women ' s dorm, was the scene of many an activity—beginning with the all-freshmen mixer. After meeting roommates and learning to yell ' Flush ' , the dorm was home—if only temporarily. An All Department Arts Show, a tea welcoming Dr. Blanton, dances, and the Model U.N. were some of the activities sponsored by Hawley. Dedicated as a memorial to Fredrick Hawley, Park ' s president 1915-37, Hawley has provided housing since 1957. On the phone again, David? 133 Pauline, Vicki and Bunny prepare to earn their shirts.

Park was founded with the goal of providing education obtained through an exchange of work for education. That is still a goal today as Park has initiated the Work Exchange program to meet the expenses of education for those who show a specified need for the program. It is designed for persons who are older than traditional students and need the education to gain employment. The program also is designed to cover expenses not met by traditional financial aid. Each student is required to work a minimum of twenty hours per week. The college was also founded on the premise that work itself is an education and today ' s program continues with that premise. Students work as operators, mechanics, security, food service and other jobs. Then, and now. Park provides education in unique and flexible ways to meet the individual needs of the students. 136 137 Adams, Rhonda Albregts, Scott Al-Dran, Khalifa Attaway, Nora Auuad, Khalid Backush, Hakim Bagley, David Baker, Richard Banks, Jill Banks, Lamont Beckemeyer, Wayne Belcher, Charles 138 Belgarde, Rosa Berwin, Milton ' B ' Bingle, Martha Birdsell, Carl Bloom, Lori Bowie, Krystal Bradley, Les Brown, Thimothy Buchholz, Ken Burke, Cindy Burnett, Ken Callicoat, Debra 139 Camara, Robert Campbell, Marsha Cannova, Carmela Carder, Chris Cavataio, Nina Cimino, Susan Claussen, Barb Coleman, Arthur Collins, Jeff Collins, Rusty Cousineau, Betty Cox, Steve - . 140 Crabtree, Kim Croom, Phyllis Dadzie, Paul Darby, Kevin Davenport, Tom Davis, Tamela de Zwart, Rob Dobson, Lonnie Dorn, Nancy Doughty, Tim Drader, Nadine Ellis, Saundra 1 141 Erpelding, Heidi Erwin, Christine Eubank, Melanie Evans, Robin Farr, Tony Fischer, Debbie Fowler, Jim Fox, Jeff Frendle, Julie Galloway, Pauline Gamble, Orville ' Gonzo ' Geist, Jack 142 ‘ “I ' ' ' George, LoLo Gerlach, Jon Glickley, Ted Goehrung, Jeffrey Gray, Janice Greer, Leona Gruka, Christine Hall, Lisa-Renee Halsell, Mark Harding, Joan Hart, Matt Henry, Bernadette ! 143 Hicks, Eddie Hill, Don Horton, Mike ' Crash ' Howell, John Huettenmueller, Jan Hundley, Randy Hurshman, Marla Jackson, Bernice ' Bunny ' Jackson, Jacqueline Jackson, Lori Johnson, Gwen Johnson, Hillary 144 Johnson, Mike Jokisch, Carol Jones, Dale Kendrick, Bobby Kenemer, Matt Knight, Sheri Kulda, Mark Learning, Kamala Lewis, Jacqueline L Littleton, Yvonne Defore Livingston, Genesia Lodes, George 145 Lodes, Mike Lohman, Brian Lucas, Rodney Lytle, Ray Marchisello, Liz Martin, Maureen McAulay, Neil McFate, Shari McKinney, John McKinnon, Kim Meller, Jessie C.W.

He arrived here in July of last year and was the first in a series of changes over the past year. Ron Van Fleet ex-Director of Admissions was promoted to Dean of Students and ex-Dean of Students Joseph Holst was transferred to the position of Director of Registrar. Eileen West became Bookstore Manager and Assistant to the Executive Director of MRCS. Another change in the ranks occured when Barbara Finke took on an additional job. Instead of being only Supervisor of Students Accounts, she is that and Director of Personnel Management. In addition, Marie Gorton was transferred to College Relations. 1985 was also a year for goodbyes. Some of our faculty, staff and friends left us. A few of these were Director of Admissions Mike Sheehy, Athletic Director and Track Coach Steve Sitler, Math instructor Brad Read, Computer Science instructor Loye Henrikson and Journalism Professor Thom Storey.

Commencement Changes in focus and security pervaded the campus as 75 seniors graduated and earned the right to call Park their Alma Mater. Not surprising, but present nonetheless were the myriad of memories brought to mind which Parkite Carl Birdsell shared at the Graduation exercises. Also present were expectations and goals for the future—tempered by fears (some of which were explored by Parkite Paula Slasor) and uncertainty.
