reflections We 're the generation that put Jesus back in the headlines Through convocation, dorm devotions, and vesper services we related our life to God and His universe, while adding to our intellectual life. Convocation religious services were for enrichment of our lives through worship experiences. Vespers and dorm devotions were a time of testimony and prayer-a time when we asked God not for emergency rations, but for daily bread. Students conducted youth-led revivals almost every weekend in Baptist churches in the area giving the students valuable Christian experience. ln our generation we have had the Jesus Movement, which put Jesus in the headlines, thus the leaven of faith received from our campus will help us to keep Jesus in the headlines. L-at-'L Every weekend students from SWBC shared their talents and love for Christ in Baptist Churches. The car was often crowded but the expec- tations of the weekend made this of little concern. Sidney Smith, who works for the Home Mission Board in the Watts area of Los Angeles, held the students' attention as he related experiences as a guard at San Quentin while studying at Golden Gate Seminary.

AX, ,J xNf'M Janet Turnbough, BSU queen candidate, was chauffeured In the homecoming parade by Dr. Jerry Horner ln his gold Trlumph. She was later crowned Southwest Baptlst ColIege's 1972 Homecomlng Queen. 1972-73 was an exciting, memorable year in the history of this nation: President Nixon was re-elected as the United States President over Senator George McGovern. Bobby Fisher and Boris Spassky fought for world chess championship. Apollo 17 made man's last scheduled flight to the moon. The nation mourned the death of former Presidents Harry Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson. Peace talks became reality. Although these events were very important in the lives of SWBC students, perhaps happenings on campus held more of a personal meaning. Registration of 1,171 students, freshman initiation, a newly remodeled dining hall and an ice storm that closed the fall semester one week early and cancelled finals were some of the happenings that made the scene at Southwest Baptist College. We observed national happenings. Occasionally we took part In these events. Happenings at SWBC were our own personal adventures. We made these happenings at SWBC happen.
