Summer  Activities 


THE  VIEW  FROM 


Frolicking  around  the  glob® 

m  pack  ip  dig  &  era 


Before  we  knew  what 
lad  hit  us,  we  were  skipping 
:lass  to  lounge  (not  recline!) 
)y  the  pool,  taking  adventur- 
ous trips  to  various  water  falls, 
ope  swings,  and  cliff  jumping 
pots,  and  spending  as  much 
Dossible  time  outdoors  as  we 
;ould.  It  could  only  mean  one 
hing.  ..Summerwas  on  the  way! 

The  summer  of  1994 
;ame  and  went,  somewhat  nor- 
nally  for  some  and  alittle  more 
idventurously  for  others.  It 
vas  a  time  for  many  BC  stu- 
lents  to  return  home  to  famil- 
ar  faces  and  routine  summer 
obs,  a  time  to  catch  up  with 
ligh  school  friends  with  whom 
hey  had  fallen  out  of  touch, 
ind  to  rest,  recuperate  and  re- 


group for  the  inevitable  fol- 
lowing school  year. 

But  summer  was  much 
more  of  an  adventure  to  those 
who  stayed  in  Dayton  and  had 
the  opportunity  to  actually  lie 
down  at  the  pool  and  wear  cut- 
off shorts  and  T-shirts  in  the  ad 
building  all  day  long. 

For  others  summer  went 
a  little  bit  like  this... 

"Lots  of  beach  volley- 
ball," -Tiffany  Snyder... 

"I  got  to  work  with  Scott 
Grisar  on  grounds, "-Ben 
Simpson.... 

"My  dad  got  to  come 
visit,"-Genci  Keja... 

"The  highlight  of  my 
summer  was  asking  Pam  to 
marry  me," — Will  Sarrell... 


"I  got  to  see  Lenin's 
body  in  Red  Square  in  Mos- 
cow,"-Trenena  Spicer... 

"I  spent  four  days  with 
my  brother  in  Nashville  watch- 
ing the  Prayer  Chain  record 
their  next  al-  ^^^^^^^___ 
bum, "-Joy 
McCaskey... 

"My 
most  memo- 
rable sum- 
mer   event 
was  travel- 
ing to  scenic  ~— 
Knoxville  to  get  a  tattoo,"-- 
Matthew  "Harley  Davidson" 
McClain... 

"Staying  here  and  all  my 
friends  being  here  with  me,  and 
flying  to  Florida  for  the  Fourth 


My  most  memorable 
summer  event  was 
traveling  to  Knox- 
ville to  get  a  tattoo. 

Matthew  McClain,  senior 


of  July," — Tabitha  Rasnake. 
But  as  the  air  turned 
colder,  the  sunsets  alittle  richer 
and  the  leaves  a  lot  brighter, 
we  all  began  to  face  the  fact 
that  the  water  at  Pocket  was 
^^^^_^^^^     turning 
just  a  bit 
too  chilly, 
the    pool 
was    now 
closed,  and 
indoors 
seemed 
much  more 
appealing  to  almost  everyone; 
Soon,    we  realized  that  we 
would  have  to  bid  farewell  to 
the  idyllic  summertime...  un- 
til we  meet  again.

X Making  Dayton  his  summer  home,  senior 
Matthew  McClain,  worked  as  part  of  the  confer- 
ence crew  on  campus.  During  the  month  of  July, 
he  and  many  others  of  the  Bryan  family  took  part 
in  the  annual  re-enactment  of  the  1925  Scopes 
Trial.  The  trial  brought  national  attention  to  Dayton 
when  famous  statesman  William  Jennings  Bryan 
joined  the  prosecuting  attorneys  to  defend  the 
Biblical  view  of  creation. 

yC Letting  the  cool  mountain  air  in  Colorado  clear 
the  academic  cobwebs  from  his  brain,  senior 
Jason  DuRoy,  climbed  Byers  Peak  and  managed 
to  get  on  the  receiving  end  of  the  camera  this 
summer.

second  priority  (right  behind  textbooks  of 
course),  but  what  do  you  do  when  you

of  his  "must  buy"  list  each  semester.

visit  a  friend  in  another  dorm  and  they 
aren't  home.   Message  boards,  like  the 
one  Daniel  Bushby  is  writing  on  while 
Scott  Wagner  dictates,  is  one  of  the  most 
reliable  means  of  communication.

School  Start  Up 


WE  VIEW  FROM 


wb  m  a  wrote  New  look 


If  we  were  to  pop  a  tape 
into  a  VCR  and  take  a  look  at 
school  supplies  when  we  were 
starting  kindergarten,  what 
would  the  nifty  little  Snoopy 
bookbag  contain? 

If  my  memory  serves  me 
correctly,  mine  held  those  hor- 
rid fat  pencils  we  learned  to 
write  with,  an  eight-pack  of 
Crayola  crayons,  Elmer's  glue, 
safety  scissors  (the  ones  that 
didn't  actually  cut,  they  just 
creased),  construction  paper 
soon  to  be  turned  into  refrig- 
erator drawings,  and  a  swell 
lunch  box  with  the  cartoon  of 
choice  plastered  on  it,  com- 
plete with  matching  thermos 
filled  with  Quik  chocolate  milk 
( and  our  mothers  wonder  where 
we  learned  to  spell).  All  present 


and  accounted  for. 

Now,  let's  hit  fast  for- 
ward on  the  ole'  VCR  of  life 
and  check  out  school  supplies 
college-style:  Mechanical 
pencils  with  the  erasers  that 
never  seem  to  actually  erase, 
markers  of  all  shapes  and  sizes 
(magic  markers,  dry  erase 
markers,  you  name  it,  we  use 
it),  super 
glue  for 
when  your 
sneakers 
start  to  fall 
apart,  sta- 
tionery and 
envelopes 

that   rarely  

get  used,  long  distance  call- 
ing card  (because  you  never 
use  the  stationery  when  you 


I  guess  when  you're

oring inside  the

can  reach  out  and  touch 
someone),  check  book  to  pay

how  else  do  we  make  it

White  Out  for  those  unavoid- 
able 1:00  A.M.  writing  mis- 
takes, an  answering  machine

1.  To

friends 
laughing  as 
they  listen 
to  you

and  on 

-       —      —  2.  To 

let  your  parents  know  that 
you're  at  the  library  studying 
and  please  send  money. 


Also  on  the  necessities 
list:  laundry  quarters,  copy 
machine  dimes,  and  last  but 
not  least,  an  entire  case  of 
Mountain  Dew  for  those  in- 
evitable all-nighters  that  mom 
and  dad  specifically  prohib- 
ited in  high  school  (hey,  you 
haven't  lived  until  you've 
pulled  an  all-nighter).  Okay, 
so  that  about  sums  it  up.  The 
objects  needed  in  college  are 
obviously  more  extensive  and 
cause  more  headaches,  but  try 
telling  that  to  a  five-year-old 
who  lost  her  blue  crayon,  and 
whatever  will  she  do  about 
coloring  the  sky  for  her  Inside 
-the  -Lines  final?  I  guess  when 
you're  five,  everything's  a  big 
deal.   Who  knew?

Freshman  Orientation 


THE  VIEW  FROM 


&l  I A  flBflAN  M  OU! 


Freshman  orientation. 
3ur  first  week  here.  We  were 
)ig  college  students.  We 
ho'ught  we  were  it.  Eventu- 
dly  the  upper-classmen  came 
ind  put  us  in  our  place,  but  we 
lad  our  few  days  of  glory. 

How  many  times  did 
we  have  to  respond  to:  "What's 
/our  name?  Where  are  you 
from?  How  far  away  is  it  from 
here?  What  are  you  majoring 
?  Why?  Do  you  think  you 
ill  stay  with  it?  What's  your 
mother's  maiden  name?  What 
:areer  are  you  going  into  with 
your  major?"  On  our  first  day 
we  had  to  answer  all  of  those, 
plus  what  we  wanted  to  be 
doing  in  10  years,  in  front  of 
new  acquaintances.  It  was  so 
much  fun  (whatever).  But  I 
think  we  will  always  remem- 
ber the  mother  who  stood  up 


and  introduced  her  son,  saying 
that  he  had  to  go  back  home 
because  he  had  forgotten  his 
clothes.  (We  love  you,  Simon). 
Then  we  started  those 
wonderful  small  group  ses- 
sions, playing  interesting 
games   so  _^^^^_^^^^ 


we 


that 

could  "get 
to  know 
each  other 
better. " 
Maybe  I'm 

wrong,  but  ten  his  clothes? 

I  never  got 


Remember  the  mom 
who  stood  up  to 
introduce  her  absent 
son  who  had  forgot- 


lege  experience.  The  day 
speaks  for  itself.  Thursday 
dawned  very  dark  and  early 
(2:00  A.M.  to  be  exact).  We 
poor,  helpless  creatures  were 
awakened  by  loud  voices  and 
banging.  We  were  dragged 
_^^^_^^^_  from  our 
beds  and  cor- 
ralled into 
the  tennis 
courts. 
Then,  treat- 
ing us  like 
cattle,  they 
(those  won- 


to  know  someone  better  by  play- 
ing some  embarressing  games. 
And  the  wonderful  leaders.  We 
owe  all  of  our  freshman  suc- 
cesses to  these  leaders  (yeah, 
right). 

Then  the  hectic  day  of 
registration.  Our  first  real  col- 


derful  upperclassmen)  herded 
us  into  cars  and  drove  off  into 
the  dark  night,  letting  us  sit  on 
cold,  dirty  ground.  They  pro- 
ceeded to  do  what  they  call 
"making  us  feel  like  a  part  of 
Bryan."  But,  I  know  we  all 
had  fun!  I  know  I  will  always 


remember  it.  What  a  way  to 
start  your  18th  birthday. 

By  the  time  Saturday 
arrived  and  the  picnic  rolled 
around,  we  were  really  a  part 
of  the  college.  I  know  I  will 
always  remember  my  first 
week  here  and  I  think  most 
freshmen  can  say  the  same 
thing. 

I  am  sure  you  have  no- 
ticed by  now  that  I  forgot  to 
say  something  about  the  bean- 
ies. This  is  because  it  is  some- 
thing I  would  rather  not  speak 
of.  It  was  such  a  traumatic 
experience  that  I  have  a  men- 
tal block  toward  them.  Some- 
day I  may  commit  a  horrible 
crime  against  society,  and  I 
will  have  to  Bryan  College 
beanies  to  blame.

Den  Life 


THE  VIEW  FROM 


it's  o  jungle  in  there! 

I ON  TH€  WILD « 


Approaching  the  Lions" 
den,  he  could  hear  the  low 
inurmurings  and  growlings. 
Dangerous  territory  was  now 
being  encroached  upon,  for  to 
dare  to  venture  into  the  den 
was  a  step  into  fears  of  all  man- 
kind. Caged  as  these  lions  were, 
they  were  safe,  but  venturing 
in  with  them,  that  was  totally 
different.  Heat  radiated  from 
the  thick  glass  panes  that  sepa- 
ated  these  caged  beasts  from 
the  outer  world. 

Suddenly,  as  he  opened 
the  door,  he  was  pounced  on 
by. . . well,  certainly  not  a  lion  in 
the  zoological  sense  of  the 
word,  but  a  special  breed  of 
Lion,  an  underclassman  ready 


for  a  foosball  challenge. 

The  Lions'  Den  serves 
as  our  respite  from  the  activi- 
ties of  everyday  life.  It  is  the 
only  place  on  campus  to  let  our 
primal  competitive  instincts 
loose,  even  if  it  is  only  in  pool, 
ping-pong,  or  foosball.  In  this 
microcosm  of  Wild  Kingdom, 
we  also  see  the  hunt  for  fresh 
meat  (or  just  french  fries  from 
the  snack  bar)  and  the  continu- 
ance of  the  species  with  certain 
courting  rituals. 

The  Lion's  Den  is  not  the 
perfect  place  for  an  intimate 
conversation,  but  it's  a  great 
place  to  spend  time  together 
with  other  members  of  the 
pride.   Many  guys  show  up  at 


the  snack  bar  counter  just  to 
torture  the  poor  little  girls  work- 
ing— yet  another  tricky  social 
behavior  of  this  peculiar  breed 
of  lions. 

Generally  a  peaceful 
breed,  the  ^^^^^^^^^^_ 
only 
bloodshed 
comes 
from  who 
gains  con- 
trol of  the 
big  screen 
television, 

where  there's  always  a  big 
crowd.  The  Den  serves  as  the 
perfect  watering  hole. 

Time  to  kill  after  classes 
(or  sometimes  during  classes), 


Caged  as  these 
lions  were,  they 
were  safe,  but  ven- 
turing in  with  them 
is  totally  different. 


after  work,  or  just  to  get  away, 
the  Den  provides  us  the  perfect 
habitat  in  which  to  spend  those 
brief  moments  with  friends  that 
are  the  lasting  snapshots  of 
college  life. 

So  as 

time  contin- 
ues on,  and 
the  jungle  of 
school  and 
life  continues 
close  around 
us,  remember 
the  location 
of  the  watering  hole  of  life, 
where  the  king  of  the  jungle 
relaxes,  and  orders  a  grilled 
chicken  sandwich.

Homecoming 


WE  VIEW  FROM 


W  CTOKB  ON IHG  HILL 


Confused  freshmen 
gazed  in  wonderment  as  people 
screamed  hello's  and  ran  to 
greet  each  other  with  open 
arms.  The  soccer  field  hill  was 
filled  with  new  and  old  faces 
reminiscing  while  the  Lions 
battled  Tennessee  Temple  be- 
low. Who  were  all  these  people, 
the  freshmen  and  transfers 
wondered?  They  were  nothing 
to  be  feared,  only  BC  alumni. 

What  is  life  like  after 
graduation?  Where  do  people 
go?  What  do  they  do  with  all 
their  free  time  when  they  are 
no  longer  required  to  go  to 
classes,  do  homework,  clean 
for  strict  room  or  be  in  at  11 
p.m.? 

On  graduation  day  every 
senior  is  immediately  donned 
with  the  prestigious  and  highly  - 
sought-after  title 

of... ALUMNI!    But  what  do 


alumni  do  exactly? 

BC  alumni  are  spread 
out  across  the  globe  doing  a 
variety  of  activities  to  occupy 
their  class-free  days.  Karyne 
Mathers  from  the  Class  of  1 994 
is  residing  in  her  hometown  of 
Greenville,  ^^^^^^^^^— 
South  Caro- 
lina. She  is 
currently 
waiting 
tables  at  Red 
Lobster  and 
teaching  vio- 
lin and  piano  lessons  out  of  her 
home.  Surprisingly  though, 
Karyne  is  not  interested  in  be- 
ing a  waitress  forever.  She 
hopes  to  be  married  (hmm...I 
wonder  who  the  lucky 
[Scots]man  will  be? )  and  would 
like  to  be  teaching  music  les- 
sons full  time.  "I  would  like  to 
have  my  own  studio  to  teach 


What  do  [alumni]  do 
with  no  classes, 
homework,  strict 
room  or  all-in? 


out  of  right  now,  but  since 
Greenville  is  such  an  'artsy' 
town,  I'm  lucky  to  have  the 
students  I  have." 

David    Holcomb, 
president  of  the  Class  of  '94 
stayed  in  Dayton  after  gradu- 
^^^^^^^^—     ation    to 
continue 
working 
at        the 
YMCA. 
In  Octo- 
ber he  left 
for  a  year- 
long trip  to  Brazil. 

But  not  all  alumni  ac- 
tually leave  Bryan  Hill.  Scott 
Grisar,  a  graduate  of  the  Class 
of  '9 1 ,  returned  to  Bryan  for 
the  1993-94  school  year  to 
get  his  teaching  licensure. 
Scott  returned  to  obtain  a 
double  major  in  history  and 
education  to  add  to  the  busi- 


ness degree  that  he  already 
has.  Scott  is  looking  forward 
to  teaching  after  graduation— 
the  second  time  around. 

Some  alumni,  have 
moved  from  the  Dayton  area, 
but  have  remained  together  in 
different  areas  of  the  country. 
Mike  and  Ginger  Lehmann 
from  the  Class  of  '93,  Shan- 
non and  Adam  Nowlan  ("93), 
and  Kimberly  and  Travis 
Dotterer  ( '93)  all  live  and  work 
in  the  same  town  in  Georgia. 

Whether  still  living  here 
in  Dayton,  or  in  another  part 
of  the  world,  alumni  are  still  a 
living,breathing  part  of  this 
place  we  call  Bryan  College. 

And  they  are  proof  that 
life  does  go  on  after  gradua- 
tion!

Dorm  Life

{ LONG  GOGS  COG) 


Long  Dorm. ..it's  notjust 
for  men  anymore.  As  llic  frcsh- 
men  piled  onto  campus  this 
year,  a  certain  observation  was 
made  "Oh  wow,  Bryan  lias  a 
coed  dorm."  Freshmen  arc  so 
smart. 

While  many  of  those 
wonderful  Long  Dorm  people 
love  to  brag  about  living  in  the 
coed  dorm,  the  rest  of  us  know 
the  truth.  Indeed,  males  and 
females  do  reside  under  the 
same  roof,  but  there  are  no  com- 
munal living  areas  (this  is  Bryan 
College,  after  all.)  Guys  and 
girls  have  to  use  separate  en- 
trances, and  there  is  and  entire 
empty  floor  separating  the 
sexes,  and  life  in  the  lane  is  just 
a  bit  rougher  on  Long  Inhabit- 
ants. Some  of  the  major  disad- 


vantages to  living  there: 

1.  No  phones  in  the 
rooms  for  the  first  month  and 
a  half.  (As  if  Freshmen  girls 
didn't  have  enough  insecuri- 
ties about  their 
social  lives  on 
the  small  hill 
in  Dayton, 
Tenessce,  one 
telephone  at 
each  end  of  the 
hall  was  the 
only  link  to  t 
he  outside 
world  after  all- 

in)  This  glaring  lack  may  have 
permanently  scared  both  body 
and  psyche.  Some  poor,  fresh- 
man co-ed  will  always  remebcr 
being  trampled  in  the  stam- 
pede for  the  one  hall  phone. 


2.  No  computer  lab. 
This  alone  may  account  for  a 
lowered  GPA  among  Long 
residents.  The  stress  of  im- 
pending nightmares  is  almost 

unbe a  r  - 

able. 

W  h   a   t 

about  all 

those 

times 

when  one 

wakes  up 

in        the 

middle  of 

the  night 

with  a  sudden  horror  that  they 

have  a  paper  due  the  next 

morning?    What   then?) 

3.  Those  lovely  little 
codes  the  doors  have.  (Keep- 
ing up  with  room  keys  is 


Will  some  poor,  little 
girl  get  trampled  by 
the  rest  in  the 
stampede  for  the 
one  hall  phone  when 
it  rings? 


enough  responsibility  fonnost 

new  BC  students.  What  about 
those  girls  who  can't  even  re- 
member their  name,  let  alone 
a  5  digit  number  to  get  into 
their  hall?) 

4.  Horrible  guy/girl 
ratio.  So  what  if  it  is  a  coed 
dorm  the  poor  girls  are  out 
numbered  by  a  whole  floor 
and  a  half.  (An  advantage  to 
the  guys  but  a  major  disad- 
vantage to  the  girls.) 

So,  lest  the  rest  of  us 
feel  not  quite  up  to  par  with 
the  coed  dormers  look  at  what 
they  had  to  deal  with  to  live 
there.  And  be  thankful  for  the 
good  old  halls  of  Huston, 
Arnold,  and  Woodlcc-Ewing.

played  by  Mr.  Bemie  Belisle, 
struggles  with     changing 
times  and  tradition.   His 
three  oldest  daughters  (Tara 
Luther,  Trish  Fen-ell,  and 
Tracy  Stone)  fall  in  love  and 
marry 
without  the 
help  of  the 
matchmaker. 
His  first 
daughter 
doesn't 
marry  the 
rich  butcher 
he  had  hoped  for,  but  a  poor 
tailor.    His  second  daughter 
moves  to  Kiev  to  be  with  her 
husband  while  he  is  in 
prison.  They  are  marrying 
for  love,  something  that  has 
never  been  done  before  in 
Anatevka.  Tevye  asks  his 


wife  (Sharon  Wood)  if  she 
loves  him.   They  realize  that 
after  25  years  of  being 
married  they  never  knew  for 
sure  if  they  loved  each  other. 
In  one  of  the  saddest 
moments  of  the  play,  Tevye 
decides  that  some  traditions 
must  not  change  and  disown 
his  third  daughter,  Chava, 
for  marrying  a  gentile. 
Tevye  forgives  her  at  he 
end.     Filled  with  haunting 
music  and  energizing  dance 
numbers,  the  play  ends  with 
the  Jewish  people  of 
Anatevka  being  thrown  out 
of  their  town  by  the  Russian 
police.   As  the  people  leave 
they  are  reminded  that  life  is 
just  as  unsteady  as  a  Fiddler 
on  the  roof.

le  most  of  the  situation. 

The  Homecoming  Banquet 
'as  sponsered  by  Student  Sen-

ded with  the  different  sea- 
3ns  theme  (as  was  the  theme 
f  the  hallway  booths).  They 

ared  nothing  with  each  sea-

seated  at  a  table  with  globe 
decorations  on  it.  It  was 
really  a  very  nice  banquet.

tried   to   

impress 

upon  the  student  body  that 
this  banquet  was  going  to  be 
"Family  style".  No  date 
needed,  just  go  with  friends. 
After  the  banquet,  "Santa" 
(Alan  Smith)  was  on  hand  to 
lend  a  lap  at  the  Christmas 
Party  sponsered  by  Union. 


The  Valentine's  banquet 
was  for  obvious  reasons  not  a 
family  style  occasion.  Put  on 
by  the  Freshmen  Class,  it  was 
complete  with  two  maitre'd, 
and  three  freshmen  girls  sang 
"The  Rose" 


The  Valentines  ban- 
quet, for  obvious 
reasons,  was  not  a

All  in  all  it 
was  a  very 
romantic 
evening.  Af- 
ter the  ban- 
quet,  there 

was   a  Fine 

Arts  concert 
with  members  of  our  Wind 
Ensemble  and  the  Chatta- 
nooga Symphony. 

Besides  the  Fine  Arts  con- 
certs, there  were  concerts  of  a 
more  popular  kind.  In  early 
December,  Bryan  College  had 
Jackson  Finch  come  in.  They 


are  two  guys  from  Nashville 
who  love  the  Lord  and  good 
music.  Kevin  Jackson  plays 
the  guitar  and  does  back-up 
vocals,  while  Brian  Finch 
plays  the  piano  and  does  lead 
voclas.  Their  sound  is 
pretty  mellow,  kind  of  like 
Out  of  the  Gray,  not  heavy 
like  Audio  Adrenaline  and 
Newsboys.  They  really  re- 
late to  college  students  since 
they  aren't  a  whole  lot  older 
than  us.  They  talked  a  lot, 
and  it  was  all  on  our  level, 
stuff  we  are  really  interested 
in.  They  hope  to  release 
their  second  album  this  sum- 
mer, and  I'm  sure  we  will 
hear  more  abou  them  in  the 
future.

/kAsk  any  hungry  student  and  t  he  will 
tel  you  that  Argo's  is  the  most  important 
job  on  campus.  Considering  that  we  must 
eat  everyday,  who  cares  if  the  windows 
are  clean.  Robin  Olive  demonstrates  the 
fine  art  of  meatball  making. 

/fOne  of  the  most  important  missions  of 
the  grounds  crew  is  to  keep  Bryan 
students  from  walking  on  those  pesky 
autumn  leaves!  The  thankless  (and. 
endless)  job  of  keeping  up  with  the  oak 
trees  fell  to  Charles  Hot,  Kasey  Reid,  and 
many  others  perform  for  us. 

Une  many  late  hours  spent  cleaning 
one  of  the  messiest  places  (the  den)  seem 
to  be  taking  their  toll  on  Brad  Fox.

urns  work  k  ra  domg 


We  see  them  every  day, 
verywhere,  busily  keeping  our 
ilassrooms  clean,  helping  out 
n  the  library,  serving  our  food, 
vashing  our  dishes.  Who  are 
hese  paragons  of  servanthood? 
t's  those  Work-study  guys  . 

It's  7:00  P.M.  and  most  of 
is  are  done  with  classes  for  the 
lay.  Students  are  studying  in 
he  dorms  (a  place  where  most 
)f  us  just  sleep,  do  laundry, 
ind  study.)  Did  you  ever  stop 
o  think  about  who  cleans  the 
iorms?  Thisjob  involves  more 
hanjust  cruising  up  and  down 
he  hall  with  a  vacuum  cleaner. 
For  those  who  work  in  Huston 
}r  Long  dorms,  there  are  bath- 
'ooms  to  clean.  On  most  floors 
his  means  eight  toilets,  eight 
showers,  and  eight  sinks,  as 
tvell  as  sweeping  and  mop- 


ping. In  all  the  dorms  there 
are  laundry  rooms  must  be  kept 
clean.  The  students  work  long 
and  hard  to  keep  our  living 
facilities. ..well,  liveable.

where  we 
walk,  talk 
and  study 
every  day. 

Grass      is  

cut,  leaves  are  raked,  and  flow- 
ers are  planted.  The  sidewalks 
are  swept  so  that  we  can  enjoy 
a  walk  around  the  Triangle  or 
down  Bryan  Hill.  These  stu- 
dents work  long  hours,  some- 
times in  the  rain  and  often  in 
the  hot  sun. 


Working  is  not  all  clean- 
ing. A  major  part  of  the  stu- 
dent workers  work  in  the  place 
where  we  eat.  At  Argo's,  work 
starts  early  in  the  morning  and 
ends  late  at  night.  They  serve 
our  meals, 
make  sure  we 
have  dishes 
and  silver- 
ware, and 
clean  up 
when  we  are 
done. 

Work 

does  not  stop  there.  There  are 
many  other  places  where  one 
can  find  student  workers.  They 
work  in  the  library,  helping  us 
find  a  book  or  helping  us  go 
through  the  backfiles.  They 
work  in  the  bookstore,  where 
we  drive  them  crazy  at  regis- 


tration (how  many  people  can 
you  fit  in  that  little  bookstore?). 
They  work  in  Rudd  cleaning 
the  bathrooms  or  classrooms 
and  vacuuming  the  audito- 
rium. 

Students  also  work  off  cam- 
pus. We  can  see  them  on  our 
weekly  trips  to  Wal-Mart  or 
McDonalds.  We  might  find 
them  at  The  newer  Bi-Lo  and 
Taco  Bell.  We  work  for  a 
common  prize.  The  money. 
Some  of  us  use  it  to  help  pay 
our  college  bill.  Others  use  it 
for  the  extra  spending  cash. 

The  next  time  you  see  a 
student  worker  emptying  trash 
or  raking  leaves,  remember 
what  they  do  and  take  a  minute 
to  stop  and  thank  them.

As  the  rush  of 
nid-term  exams  comes  to 
close,  most  people  look 
orward  to  relaxing  and 
oing  home  for  spring 
reak,  but  not  the  Bryan 
College  Chorale.  Starting 
>n  March  3  and  ending  on 
Aarch  12,  the  chorale's 
our  is  a  rigorous  one.  The 
horale  usually  sings  in  a 
ifferent  church  every 
light.  This  year  the  tour 
panned  from  Atlanta  and 
iHairsville,  Georgia  to  St. 
'etersburg,  Florida. 


With  such  a  large  area 
to  be  covered,  long  bus  rides 
were  to  be     — ^— ^— — 
expected. 
To    pass 
the  time, 
many 
people  en- 
gaged  in

bus'  moniter  system  to  help 
pass  the  time.

fed  a  meal  by  the  church 
(spaghetti  was  a  popular  en- 
tree). Then 
the  chorale 
would  do  a 
concert. 
After- 
wards, it 
was  time  to 
find  out  the 


housing  arrangements  for 
the  evening.  Many  a  tale 
was  told  of  the  adventures 
that  were  had  at  the  host's 
home  the  night  before. 


The  tour  was  not  all 
work  though.  While  in  the 
St.  Petersburg  area,  the 
chorlae  went  to  Busch  Gar- 
dens and  the  beach. 

Even  though  the  tour 
was  very  entertaining,  and 
we  all  had  lot  of  fun,  the 
chorale  members  still  kept 
their  focus  on  what  chorale 
tour  is  really  all  about:  min- 
istering to  people  for  Jesus 
Christ.

to  the  juniors  and  seniors

"Never  hide  your  feelings

pretty  good."  At  2:00  am

was  time  to  once  again 
travel  back  to  Maryville  and 
watch  a  collection  of  slides 
at  a  local  movie  theater  that 
portrayed  the  seniors  from 
their  childhood.    For  those 
who  had  spent  four  years  at 
Bryan,  it  was  a  reminder 
that  this  part  of  their  life 
had  passed  opening  up  a 
door,  whose  contents  inside 
remain  a  mystery.   Yes,  this 
night,  April  7,  1995,  was  an 
evening  whose  events

TUNING  IN 
FOR  TRAUMA 

ER  and  Chicago  Hope 
Hope  for  Healthy  Ratings 


August  of  1994  found  television  viewers 
ommercials  hailing  Chicago  Hope  and 
R  as  two  of  the  best  new  shows  coming 
o  the  September  line-up.  Both  hour 
ng  dramas  were  set,  coincidentally,  in 
owntown  Chicago  hospitals.  NBC  and 
7?  would  prove  to  be  the  victors  in  this 
[rime  time  showdown,  however,  pushing 
BS  to  move  its  show  to  a  different 
night,  where  the  differences  became 
obvious. 

ER  focuses  its  attention  on  the  fast-paced 
lives  of  emergency  room  doctors  and 
nurses,  both  professionally  and 
personally.  The  characters  on  ER  are 
portrayed  by  relatively  unknown  actors 
and  represent  a  number  of  various  ethnic 
and  family  backgrounds.  The  quick  pace 
of  the  emergency  room  is  intense  and 
fervent,  but.  perhaps,  the  best  aspect  of 
the  show  is  its  continuing,  flowing  plots 
and  storylines.  Life  is  not  all  scalpels 
and  sutures  for  these  people;  there  are 
real  lives  to  be  dealt  with  outside  the 
operating  room. 

Chicago  Hope,  in  an  effort  to  distinguish 
itself  from  the  competitor,  chose  to  depict 
the  slower,  yet  equally  stressful,  lives  of  a 
predominantly  Caucaision  cast.  The 
show  provides  an  hour  of  entertainment 
that  is  similar  to  General  Hospital  rather 
than  real  medical  life  in  a  real  institution.

WHAT'S  NEW!?  Strange  things  is  what's  new. 
Woodstock  '94  gave  the  younger  generation 
a  chance  to  capture  the  spirit  of  the  '60s  and 
1  995  gave  way  to  the  popularization  of  being 
"alternative"--  from  dress  to  music.  Sprucing 
up  your  vehicle  has  always  been  a  hobby,  but 
instead  of  fuzzy  dice,  or  a  scent  filled  Christ- 
mas tree,  the  aromatic  royal  crown  was  seen 
popping  up  across  the  nation.  Not  only  must 
your  car  smell  nice,  now,  it  must  have  neon 
runners  that  give  your  car  nocturnal  pinstripes.

EST  TIME! 

SACS  gives  Bryan  seal  of 
approval  for  ten  more  years. 

vJ/nce  every  decade  the  Southern  Association  of 

Colleges  and  Schools  reviews  its  member  institutions  by 

sending  a  committee  of  educators  and  administrators 

from  other  accredited  colleges  and  universities.  Bryan 

College,  as  well  as  many  other  prestigious  schools  of 

higher  learning  such  as  Vanderbilt,  University  of 

Tennessee,  Emory,  and  Florida  State,  work  hard  to 

maintain  their  good  standing  and  accreditation 

with  the  association. 

In  December  1 994,  Bryan  received  word  that  SACS 

had  reaffirmed  its  accreditation  for  ten  more  years,  the 

longest  possible  era.  This  seal  of  approval  by  SACS 

recognizes  that  Bryan  College  has  met  all  of  the 

association's  standards  in  academic  affairs,  student 

development,  financial  planning  and  policies  and 

physical  resources. 

This  follows  nearly  four  years  of  self-study  by  Bryan 

staff,  faculty,  and  students  and  an  intense  evaluation  by 

the  visiting  team.  The  end  result  is  that  Bryan  will  use 

the  committee's  advice  and  insights  to  make  the  college 

even  stronger.  Among  the  things  that  the  college  will  be 

addressing  in  the  next  few  years:  upgrading  of  the 

library  collection,  restructuring  of  some  majors  and 

developing  a  Masterplan  for  the  campus.

AST  FACTS 

InterNET  puts  resources 
at  every  student's  fingertips 

JTj\3  technology  has  rapidly  progressed,  so  has 
the  value  standard  of  certain  things.  "Time  is  Money 
or  "Money  is  Power"  slogans  have  given  way  to  "Infor- 
mation is  Power."  We  even  call  our  phone  lines  infor- 
mation superhighways.  Having  access  to  large  amounts 
of  data,  literally  at  our  fingertips,  has  given  millions  of 
businessmen  the  extra  edge  and  dramatically  effected 
home  computing.  College  computing  has  also  changed 

Enter  the  InterNET. 
Any  Bryan  student  in  the  computer  lab 
(or  in  his  room,  if  he  owns  an  IBM-compatible  com- 
puter) can  access  almost  any  other  system  on  the 
InterNET.  For  example,  The  Library  of  Congress  has 
a  custom  computer  network  which  can  quickly  be 
brought  up  on  our  screens  via  satellite.  Rare  books  and 
papers  can  be  found  within  seconds.  Current  news  can 
be  accessed  almost  instantaneously.  Using  a  variety  of 
"chat"  programs,  millions  of  people  become  available 
as  resources.  As  the  number  of  users  has  skyrocketed, 
InterNET  customer  have  been  able  to  eliminate  long 
distance  fees  by  bringing  the  entire  network  into  the 

local  calling  district. 

This  is  Bryan's  first  year  as  a  member  InterNET. 

Bryan's  library  system  is  now  available  to  others,  while 

Bryan  students  (and  faculty)  gain  instant  access  to  the 

almost  unlimited  information  provided  by  this  huge 

network  of  resources.

HAT'S  LIFE 


*w 


Underclassmen  endure 
general  education  courses 

Varies  of  despair  and  gloom  could  be  heard 

throughout  the  halls.  Puzzled  looks  and  mournful 

expressions  were  seen  on  the  faces  of  the  freshmen  as 

they  left  registration.  Their  cry  was  a  familiar  one  to  the 

upperclassmen  who  had  once  been  in  their  shoes  and 

could  relate  to  their  bewilderment.  "I'm  a  music  major, 

why  do  I  have  to  take  Biology?"  "I'm  a  math  major 

what  do  I  have  to  sit  through  speech  for?"  "Fine  Arts?! 

What  in  the  world  is  that?" 
The  reality  of  General  Ed.  hit  many  freshmen  like  a 
brick  and  served  as  a  stumbling  block  to  classes  that 
really  did  seem  to  relate  to  their  career  goals  and  pro- 
posed major.  Class  like  Concepts  of  RE.,  Freshman 
English,  Intro  to  Lit  and  Intro  to  Communications  are 
all  classes  that  every  BC  students  must  survive  (and  by 
survive,  we  mean  pass!)   in  order  to  move  to  the  more 

"Career-oriented"  classes. 

Some  foolish  seniors,  however,  managed  to  put  a  few  of 

these  classes  off  until  the  last  possible  semester.  They 

were  unhappily  dissecting  pigs  or  writing  fine  arts 

critiques  during  their  final  spring  on  Bryan  Hill. 

General  Ed.,  it's  a  rite  of  passage.  It's  not  the  most 

entertaining  part  of  life  on  the  Hill,  but  a  necessary 

part.  So,  chin  up,  freshman:  you  practiced  your 

speeches,  wrote  your  term  papers  and  now  you  can 

watch  from  the  lofty  plain  of  experience  while  next 

year's  freshmen  do  the  same.

Professors  offer  counsel

JL  he  family  atmosphere,  the  beautiful,  moun- 
tain -filled  scenery,  the  fact  that  the  president  of  the 
school  knows  you  by  name.  These  are  all  valid  answers 
to  the  question,  "What  makes  Bryan  College  different 
from  other  institutions?"  But  what  about  the  people 
who  help  you  adjust  to  college  life  beginning  you  very 
first  week  on  campus?  What  about  that  person  who 
pulls  strings  to  sneak  yOu  into  that  one  class  you're 
required  to  have,  even  though  it's  supposed  to  be 
closed?  What  about  that  one  special  person  who  warns 
you  to  wait  and  take  Western  Civ.  when  you  can  have 
Dr.  Traylor  instead  of  Dr.  Ketchersid?  What  about  that 
proud  mentor  who  will  talk  boastfully  about  all  your 
successes  after  you  graduate  to  underclassmen  who  are 
just  starting  out.  That's  right,  I'm  talking  about  your 
advisor,  that  one  persistent  professor  who  sicks  with  you 
through  four,  five,  six  (Maybe,  even  seven)  years  of 
school,  always  reassuring  you  of  your  ability  to  graduate 
-  eventually.  Advisor/advisee  relationships  are  defi- 
nitely one  special  aspect  of  Bryan  that  not  every  school 
can  offer.  So,  for  all  those  long  hours  of  counseling  and 
rearranging  our  schedules,  for  get-togethers  out  of  class, 
for  your  prayers  and  encouragement  and  for  helping  us 
to  push  toward  graduation,  our  hats  are  off  to  our 

wonderful  advisors!

N  THEORY 

f    Big  Bang  can  cause  big 
brain  strain  in  Origins  class 


I, 


n  Bio  3  1 4,  commonly  referred  to  as  Origins 
class,  students  are  exposed  to  current  theories  of  the 
origins  of  the  universe.   For  many  students  any  science 
course  is  a  traumatic  experience:   dissecting  pigs,  learn- 
ing complicated  chemical  formulas,  identifying  indig- 
enous Tennessee  foliage.  But  Origins  has  a  trauma  all 
its  own:  exposure  to  the  brilliant  mind  of  Harvard 

scientist,  Dr.  Kurt  Wise. 
For  instance,  Dr.  Wise  explained  that  Einstein  pre- 
dicted that  clocks  would  run  at  different  speeds  at 
different  altitudes  due  to  a  gravitational  well.  Einstein's 
theory  was  validated  when  nuclear  clocks  placed  at 
1 ,000  feet  above  sea  level  and  those  at  sea  level  ran  at  a 
difference  of  five  microseconds  over  the  course  of  a  year. 
Assuming  the  universe  is  bounded  and  that  the  earth  is 
at  the  center  of  the  universe,  while  one  second  elapsed 
on  earth,  millions  of  years  could  elapse  at  the  edge  of 
the  universe.  This  would  allow  light  to  travel  from  the 
edge  of  the  universe  to  the  earth  within  the  amount  of 
time  prescribed  by  the  young  earth  model. 
Straining  their  brains  to  try  to  consider  the  scientific 
and  perhaps  theological  ramifications  of  such  a  theory, 
many  Origins  scholars  took  frantic  notes,  attempting  to 
document  Dr.  Wise's  every  word  for  future  recall. 
However  after  finishing  his  explanation,  Dr.  Wise  told 
the  class  that  he  felt  this  theory  offered  more  problems 
than  solutions.  The  trauma  of  sitting  under  a  brilliant 

professor.

N  THE  TEAM 

New  VP  sees  role  as 
encourager  and  supporter 

X^fter  2 1  years  as  Associate  Professor  of  Higher 
Education  at  the  University  of  Alabama,  Dr.  David 
Masoner  is  drinking  in  the  fresh  spirit  of  Bryan  Col- 
lege. "People  are  excited  about  the  Lord  here,"  he 
said.  "It's  so  wonderful  to  be  able  to  openly  begin  a 

meeting  with  prayer.' 
Masoner,  who  served  as  Academic  Dean  and  Director 
of  the  Institute  of  Higher  Education  at  UA,  joins 
Bryan  as  Vice  President  of  Academic  Affairs,  replac- 
ing Dr.  Herb  Sierk.  The  new  VP  feels  that  God  has 
been  preparing  him  to  make  this  move  to  Christian 
Education  for  nearly  1  5  years.  "I  have  just  become 
more  and  more  convinced  that  the  best  place  that  I 
could  contribute  was  in  the  Christian  environment,"  he 
said.  Masoner,  his  wife,  Barbara  and  his  daughter 
Nancy,  who  moved  to  Dayton  in  May,  already  feel  at 
home  here.  "Were  I  to  have  designed  a  professional 
setting,  this  is  exactly  what  I  would  have  made,"  he 
said.  Masoner  admits  he's  already  enjoying  Bryan's 
size.   "Without  all  the  red  tape,  we  can  really  get  things 

done." 

This  newcomer  on  campus  already  thinks  like  one  of 

the  team.   "Bryan  College  is  strong  in  the  area  of 

teaching  students  to  think   'Christianly,'"  he  noted. 

There's  a  strong  commitment  among  the  faculty  here.  I 

want  to  encourage  and  support  them.  We're  doing 

things  well  here,  and  I  want  to  help  a  fine  faculty  do 

them  even  better."

UT  THERE! 

Students  can  experience 
hand's-on  education 

iL^ab  sciences  were  perhaps  Bryan's  pioneers  in 

the  field  of  hand's-on  education,  sometimes  more  hands 

on  than  any  of  us  wanted.  Education  majors  began 

their  trips  to  the  "real  world"  of  bulliten  boards  and 

behavior  problems  by  as  early  as  their  sophomore  years, 

when  required  practicums  placed  them  in  classrooms 

throughout  the  county. 
And  more  and  more  students  are  learning  the  nitty 
gritty  lessons  of  the  work-a-day  world  and  gaining  a 
refreshing  new  perspective  on  their  own  education. 
Communication  Arts  majors  have  worked  (hard  and 
with  no  financial  reward)  at  the  local  radio  station,  the 
newspaper,  doing  public  relations  work  at  Rhea  Medi- 
cal Center  and  the  Dayton  Chamber  of  Commerce. 
Psychology  majors  have  experienced  the  joys  of 
communting,  while  traveling  to  work  and  learn  in 

Chattanooga  hospitals. 
The  education  major  has  even  brought  the  "real  world" 
right  on  campus  by  developing  and  staffing  an  after- 
school  enrichment  program  for  Rhea  County  school 

kids  called  "Kids  College." 
History  majors  may  chose  to  spend  a  whole  semester  in 
Washington,  D.C.  earning  credit  and  seeing  our  gov- 
ernment at  work. 
Yes,  learning  does  go  on  up  in  those  third  floor  class- 
rooms in  the  adminstration  building,  but  for  many  of  us 
we  have  had  to  venture  beyond  the  hill  to  complete  our 

educational  experience.

By  the  latest  count  there  are  50,000  of 
them  in  the  US  alone.  No  one  knows  for  sure 
how  many  people  are  hooked  up  to  them. 

The  biggest  attention,  as  well  as  customer 
getters  have  been  online  services  like  America 
Online,  CompuServe,  Genie,  Prodigy  and  oth- 
ers like  them.  They  offer  users  all  the  same 
features:  private  chat,  instant  update  on  sport, 
weather,  business  and  news,  access  to  many 
online  references  like  magazines,  books  and 
even  interactive  encyclopedias.  Of  course  they 
let  their  members  surf  the  "net"  too.  All  these 
are  the  reasons  why  it  is  so  easy  to  use:  easy 
to  use,  friendly  format,  no  previous  knowledge 
of  computers  required.  You  can  even  reserve 
your  airline  tickets,  a  rental  car  and  hotel  room, 
as  well  as  a  shopping  guide  to  any  major  US 
city  online.  There  seem  to  be  no  limits  to  what 
can  be  done. 


The  computer  users  liked  these  ideas 
so  much  that  in  the  last  year  the  top  five  online 
services  increased  their  membership  by  400 
percent.  The  records  on  growth  have  been  set 
by  America  Online.  In  August  1993  the  com- 
pany started  an  by  November  they  had  less  than 
500,000  members.  Before  the  beginning  of 
March  1995  2.5  million  users  have  been  con- 
nected to  AOL  Steve  Case,  the  director  of  AOL 
contributes  this  speed  of  growth  to  many  fac- 
tors: good  tech  staff,  user  friendly  Windows 
based  software,  and  especially  aflat  rate.  "Many 
users  have  been  confused  with  other  services, 
how  much  time  they  .were  allowed  in  what  sec- 
tion of  the  system.  Here  in  AOL  it  is  simple. 
You  get  5  hours  a  month  to  go  anywhere  and 
do  anything,  if  you  decide  to  do  more  it  will 
only  cost  you  $3.50  an  hour." 

So  more  and  more  people  learn  how  to 
use  their  phone  lines  without  picking  up  thei 
phone.  You  never  know,  maybe  the  man  sit- 
ting behind  you  is"Wired." 


POLITICALLY  SPEAKING:  Stephen  G.  Breyer 
was  sworn  in  as  Supreme  Court  Judge  in  Au- 
gust following  an  easy  confirmation  by  the 
Senate.  When  the  Surgeon  General,  Joyceln 
Elders,  stepped  down,  it  wasn't  easy.  Both  lib- 
erals and  conservatives  had  problems  with 
nominee  Henry  Foster.  White  House  policy 
was  very  grey  on  Cuban  refugees.  In  an  at- 
tempt to  control  the  influx  of  boat  people,  the 
U.S.  Coast  Guard  shipped  everyone  back  to 
Guantanamo,  then  Clinton  reversed  his  policy 
and  allowed  all  non-criminal  Cubans  to  enter 
the  country.

CRASH  LANDING:  Frank  Corder  ended 
his  life  in  the  wreckage  of  a  small  plane  on 
the  White  House  lawn.  With  a  history  of 
depression  and  drug  abuse,  Corder  was  the 
first  of  several  people  to  breach  security  at

"So,  where  do  you  want  to  eat?" 
"Well,  let's  see,  there's  Hardees  and  Long 
John  Silvers." 
"And  Pizza  Hut...  " 

"Right.  Ummm....  Did  I  mention  Hardees?" 
Okay,  so  we  know  why  Bryan  College 
doesn't  put  "endless  possibilities  for  fine  din- 
ing" on  their  PR  brochures.  But  consider  the 
above  scenario  from  a  few  years  a  go  and 
maybe  you  will  see  Dayton  in  a  tastier  light. 
"Back  in  my  day  there  was  no  McDonalds 
in  Dayton."  This  may  sound  like  a  phrase  right 
out  of  your  grandfather's  mouth,  but  actually 
any  graduate  in'the  early  eighties  would  have 
remembered  Dayton  as  one  of  the  last  remain- 


ing towns  that  still  lacked  the  mark  of  civiliza- 
tion: "The  Golden  Arches." 

But,  once  McyD's  moved  in,  it  was  just  one 
right  after  the  other.  Okay,  maybe  it  wasn't 
quite  like  that,  but  the  choices  did  become 
more  numerous. 

This  year's  graduating  class  can  remember 
the  introduction  of  Bubba's,  Ayala's,  Western 
Sizzlin'. 

And  even  the  Class  of  98  remembers  Day- 
ton in  the  pre-Krystal,  pre-Taco  Bell  era.  And 
by  the  time  you  read  this  article  you  can  even 
find  a  square  hamburger  at  Wendy's.  Rumor 
has  it  that  Arby's  isn't  far  behind.  Dayton  will 
never  be  the  same  again.

BEM  allows  a  rare  ministry  into  the 
public  schools  of  Rhea  County 


While  Rhea  County  might  be  a  small 
countr)'  county  with  not  much  to  it,  Bryan 
College  has  a  special  ministry  opportunity 
we  couldn't  have  anywhere  else.  We  can 
go  into  the  elementary  schools  and  teach 
the  kids  about  God.   B.E.M.,  Bible  Educa- 
tion Ministries,  is  a  rare  ministry  opportunity 
to  have  in  today's  society  where  things  like 
this  are  against  the  law  in  many  places. 

Sometimes  we  B.E.M.  teachers  wonder 
if  the  time  commitment  is  worth  it  and  if  we 
really  have  that  much  of  an  impact  on  the 
kids,  but  we  really  make  more  of  an  impact 
than  we  may  ever  know.  I  grew  up  in  Rhea 
County  and  I  had  B.E.M.  teachers  through- 
out my  elementary'  school  career.  I  can  still 
remember  the  anticipation  our  class  would 
feel  as  we  awaited  for  the  half  hour  each 
Thursday  that  we  could  escape  real  class 
and  enjoy  a  break.   But  that  wasn't  all  that  it 
meant.  I  know  that  sometimes  I  feel  like 
the  kids  think  I  must  be  the  biggest  idiot, 
but  they  really  don't.   We  used  to  look  at 
our  Bible  teachers  like  they  were  the  best 
things  on  this  earth.   We  thought  they  knew 
evetything  and  we  loved  them.  Sometimes 
when  I'm  discouraged  about  teaching  I  just 
remember  what  it  was  like  to  sit  in  class  as 
a  student  and  that  really  encourages  me. 


—►Quieting  this  noisy  group  of  eager  BEM 
students,  Gimper's  very  own  Carter  Rocky 
caused  many  students  to  participate  in  God's 
word  with  many  smiles  and  loud  voices. 


Being  a  Bible  teacher  is  not  an  easy 
thing  to  do.  It  takes  a  lot  of  time,  love,  and 
creativity!  While  some  stories  are  easy  to 
visualize  and  to  make  exciting,  others  take 
a  lot  of  thinking  and  craziness  to  make 
interesting.  Dressing  up  like  a  Bible 
character  is  always  a  fun  one.  But  it's  hard 
to  stop  the  laughter  when  you're  a  girl  and 
you're  trying  to  be  Moses.  Then  there  are 
always  the  wonderful  flannelgraphs  that 
are  so  confusing  that  they  are  a  last  resort 
Worksheets,  filmstrips,  games,  and  songs 
are  just  some  of  the  interesting  things  we 
B.E.M.  teachers  do  to  get  the  kids  to  learn  a 
stor)/.  Not  all  things  go  like  you  want  them 
to.   Like  when  turning  the  jar  of  water  to 
blood  I  managed  to  dye  the  table  and  my 
hands  bright  red.  Or  when  my  partner, 
Melinda  Snead,  tried  to  use  a  straw  as  a 
snake.   We  got  laughed  out  of  the  room. 
The  following  week  one  of  the  girls 
brought  us  a  book  on  snakes  to  show  us 
what  one  looks  like. 

Though  it  might  take  a  little  bit  of  our 
time  that  we  don't  really  have,  being  a 
Bible  teacher  is  a  very  important  and  huge 
ministr)'.  No  one  can  quite  realize  the 
impact  or  the  effect  it  has  on  many 
children  that  desire  direction  and  the  love 
of  Cod's  word.  It's  something  even>'one 
needs  to  take  part  in  at  least  once.

Behind  the  Curtain 

Gospel  Gimpers  put  in  many  hours  so 
their  puppets  can  present  the  gospel 


Every  Thursday  morning  groups 
of  about  six  students  packed  up 
their  puppets  and  piled  into  vans. 
These  students  have  become 
experts  and  lip  synching  with  their 
hands.  They  have  also  learned  to 
pack  up  and  haul  trunks  of  pup- 
pets, tapes,  sound  equipment, 
curtains  and  PVC  pipe  and  reas- 
semble their  traveling  show  in  a 
manner  of  minutes. 

These  groups  of  dedicated 
puppeteers  are  called  Gimpers. 
This  division  of  Practical  Christian 
Involvement  (PCI)  presents  the 
gospel  through  puppets  to  a  differ- 
ent BEM  class  every  week.  School- 
aged  kids  andBEM  teachers  alike 
eagerly  look  formward  to  having 
the  colorful  group  of  puppets  (and 
the  unseen  engineers  behind  the 
blue  curtain)  entertain  them  while 
they  talk  and  sing  about  Jesus. 

To  make  these  presentations  a 
success,  these  groups  get  together 


about  once  a  week  and  practice 
making  the  mouths  and  bodies  of 
their  little  felt  covered  friends  look 
as  real  as  possible.  They  use  pre- 
recorded tapes  and  practice  in 
front  of  a  long  horizontal  mirror  on 
the  wall  in  the  PCI  hallway  (You've 
always  wondered  why  that  mirror 
was  there,  haven't  you?).  They  also 
discuss  how  they  can  better  get 
the  children  involved. 

On  Thursday  mornings  the 
teams  head  out,  perform  and  pack 
up  in  about  30  minutes.  After 
hours  of  work  perfecting  a  new  skit 
or  song,  it  is  over  in  just  a  moment 
or  two.  However,  the  group  does 
get  to  compete  once  a  year  at  a 
puppet  contest.  And  our  Bryan 
College  Gimpers  always  give  a 
good  showing,  bringing  home 
awards  and  high  schores  for  their 
diligence  and  commitment.

Meeting  New  Friends 

Ministering  to  Senior  Adults  brings 
rewards  to  both  young  and  old 


Some  things  about  PCI  ministries 
are  constant:  the  faces  change,  the 
seasons  change,  but  this  remains  the 
same:  the  rewards  outweigh  any  of  our 
human  efforts. 

As  usual,  working  the  Senior  Adult 
Ministry  was  a  rewarding  experience. 
Every  week  we  zoomed  off  to  the 
nursing  homes  and  senior  center 
hoping  to  minister  to  the  senior  citizens 
we  were  visiting.  And,  I  think,  that  goal 
was  accomplished.  We  went  to  share 
the  love  of  Christ  and  to  offer  a  little 
change  of  pace  for  those  seniors  who 
welcome  a  change  in  their  daily 
routines. 

But  nearly  every  week,  it  was  the 
college-aged  crowd  that  came  back 
refreshed  from  spending  time  with  our

post-sixty-five  friends.  It  was  always  fun 
to  watch  the  residents  get  involved  in 
the  activities.  (Singing  and  story-telling 
were  always  a  big  hit.)  Most  of  the 
folks  that  we  visited  were  not  shy  in 
telling  us  how  much  they  enjoyed  our 
visits,  and  how  we  were  always  able  to 
brighten  up  their  weeks. 

But  that  wasn't  all  they  shared. 
After  several  weeks  of  sharing  and 
visiting,  we  soon  became  the  recipients 
of  decades  of  wisdom,  passed  on 
sometimes  by  direct  advice,  but  more 
often  by  telling  us  stories  of  lessons 
they  had  learned  while  they  were 
grrowing  up. 

All  in  all,  the  Senior  Adult  Ministry 
(SAM)  experience  is  a  unique  and 
rewarding  one.  I  would  encourage 
anyone  to  get  involved.  You'll  be  glad 
you  did.

came  back  on   campus  sporting  braids. 


Making  a  break  for  it 

Bryan  College  students  visit  Jamaica, 
Chicago,  and  New  York  over  break 


Spring  Break  1995!  Sunshine,  sand, 
sleep!  Right?!  For  a  small  group  of  Br)>an 
students  the  cold  and  windy  city  of 
Chicago  or  the  lushly  foliaged  hills  of 
Jamaica  became  their  destination  for  the 
week  of  Spring  Break. 

The  Chicago  team  piled  into  two  vans 
and  were  forced  to  get  to  know  one 
another  faster  than  they  expected.  All 
week  the  group  ministered  to  a  low 
income  section  of  Chicago.  Painting, 
teaching,  and  spending  time  with  children 
was  a  large  part  of  the  week.  Exploring 
foreign  opportunities  and  being  able  to 
serve  caused  many  on  the  Chicago  trip  to 
be  encouraged  spiritually  and  to  see  things 
from  a  different  perspective.  Scott  Hill  and 
Amy  Murphree  headed  the  team  with 
organizing  many  things  and  providing  the 
spiritual  direction  on  the  trip.  Melody 
Klingbeil  was  their  adviser  who  added 
tremendously  to  the  success  of  the  trip. 

As  the  Chicago  team  was  entering 
freezing  temperatures,  the  Jamaica  team 
was  steppimg  off  an  airplane  into  a  breez)>, 
tropical  paradise.   The  purpose  of  the  trip 
was  to  accomplish  as  much  construction  as 
they  could  for  a  future  village  of  Jamaica's 
deaf.  The  team  was  able  to  mix  and  pour 
concrete  for  a  ceiling  to  a  large  cistern,  pur 
electrical  wiring  in  a  house  and  erect 
foundation  walls  for  an  apartment  complex. 
The  highlight  of  the  trip  was  when  the  team 


visited  an  existing  deaf  school  nearby. 
Seeing  the  children  being  cared  for  by 
people  who  love  God  instensly  was  a  very 
moving  experience.  Without  the  presence 
of  the  Carribean  Christian  Center's  for  the 
Deaf  most  of  these  children  would  be 
ignored  and  forgotten  in  a  country-  strug- 
gling to  survive.  Many  on  the  Jamaica  trip 
were  overcome  by  the  immensity  of  Cod's 
plan  for  his  church  and  his  incredible 
goodness  and  provision.  They  were  also 
encouraged  by  the  enthusiasm  and 
sincerity  of  the  Jamaican  Christians. 
Everything  that  has  been  accomplished 
already  for  the  deaf  in  the  brothers  and 
sisters  in  Christ  is  an  amazing  testimony  to 
God's  faighfulness.  Randy  Gilbert  and 
Kimberlee  Hayes  were  the  team's  student 
leaders  and  Dr.  Dave  Fouts  lightened  the 
whole  experience  with  his  spiritual  wisdom 
and  his  awful  puns. 

Many  people  would  think  that  giving 
up  a  spring  break  is  a  huge  sacrifice  and 
would  view  it  as  something  thatwould  not 
be  fun.  Getting  to  know  fellow  students 
and  taking  part  in  many  crazy  activities 
made  the  week  a  vacation  of  a  different 
kind.  Unquestionably,  all  who  spent  spring 
break  on  a  short  term  missions  trip  were 
refreshed,  pleased ,  and  grateful  to  God  for 
the  experience  that  brought  many  different 
people  together  in  a  fun  and  loving  spirit

ELEPHANT  BY  THE  TAIL 

Life  as  an  RA  means  less  sleep,  tough 
tasks,  hard  lessons  and  Gods  love 


Remember  the  story  about  the  blind 
people  who  were  asked  to  touch  different 
parts  of  an  elephant  and  describe  what 
they  thought  it  looked  like?  One  person 
described  an  elephant  as  something  long 
and  skinny;  another  as  big  and  flat.  They  all 
had  different  perspectives,  but  only  when 
you  put  them  together:  the  trunk,  the  body, 
etc.,  can  you  really  know  what  an  elelphant 
looks  like. 

It  seems  to  me  that  Bryan  is  the  same 
way.  As  a  student,  you  see  the  classrooms, 
meet  professors  and  find  out  what  dorm 
life  is  all  about.  The  janatorial  department 
sees  all  the  dirt  and  grime  that  needs  to  be 
cleaned  and  grounds  crew  gets  a  good 
look  at  the  lawns,  the  flowerbeds,  and  so 
on. 

RAs  get  to  see  eveiyday  work  of 
counseling  and  disciplining,  lust  like  all  the 
other  departments,  this  one  can  be  hard 
work,  dirfy,  grimy  and  exasperating.  But  it  is 
also  a  very  rewarding  perspective.  You  find 
that  people  you  thought  would  never  like 
you,  actually  want  to  talk  to  you  and  be 
your  friend.  You  see  that  there  is  more  pain 
going  on  in  people's  lives  than  you  had 
ever  imagined.  Most  of  all,  you  see  Cod's 
work  in  ways  you  never  dreamed  of.

/  have  glimpsed  both  students  and 
SDO  from  a  very  new  perspective.  But 
more  importantly,  I  saw  God,  myself  and 
my  relationship  to  Him  from  a  different 
perspective  as  well.  I  have  learned  that  I 
can  live  through  second  All-Ins  at  2:00  a.m. 
I  can  get  up  the  nerve  (eventually)  to 
confront  the  same  person  for  the  fifth  time. 
I  learned  to  live  a  productive  life  on  ven,' 
little  sleep.  I  also  learned  to  live  with  the 
fact  that  some  people  don't  like  me 
because  of  my  title  and  because  of  the 
things  I  have  to  do  and  that  there  is 
nothing  I  can  do  to  change  their  opinion- 
that's  still  a  little  hard  to  chew  on. 

Through  this  time  God  has  been  (and 
still  is)  teaching  me  that  He  never  promised 
me  universal  popularity  or  an  easy  life  with 
at  least  eight  hours  of  sleep.  He  didn't  even 
promise  me  total  success  (Believe  me,  I 
have  failed  many  times  as  an  RA)  But  He 
did  promise  that  he  would  love  me,  and 
he  does. 

If  being  an  RA  only  meant  late  nights, 
difficult  confrontations  and  minimumal 
rewards,  I  think  it  would  still  be  worth  the 
spiritual  lessons  God  has  been  able  to 
teach  me:  I  am  His  child!  No  failures,  no 
bad  days  can  separate  me  from  His  love. 

I  like  that  perspective!

A  VOTE   FOR   CHANGE 

Senate  ends  its  final  year  of  service  and 
gives  way  to  a  revitalized  government 


The  1 994-95  school  year  will  be 
marked  as  a  year  of  great  change 
for  Senate.  Traditionally,  Senate 
and  Student  Union  shared  roles  in 
student  activities,  policy  making, 
and  student  related  function. 
Working  together,  it  was  possible 
to  accomplish  everything  and  make 
decisions,  but  as  a  seperate  entites, 
there  was  confusion,  inefficiency, 
and  frustration.  To  eliminate  these 
trouble  spots,  several  students 
worked  to  streamline  the  system  to 
imporve  the  student  body  voice 
and  the  quality  of  things  that  Union 
and  Senate  produce. 

As  student  leader  Brian  Warren 
and  Dr.  Peter  Held  sat  down  to 
make  needed  revisions,  Brian  was 
amazed  at  how  hard  it  would  be  to 
make  the  present  system  better. 
He  wondered  if  it  would  just  be 
better  to  start  from  nothing  and 
create  a  Studen  Government

custom  fit  to  Bryan's  needs  then  to 
include  the  existing  duties  of 
Student  Union  and  Senate.  After 
many  hours  of  research  and  talking 
to  other  schools,  Brian  Warren  and 
Willie  Soffield  came  up  with  a 
proposal  that  would  completely 
revolutionize  Bryan  Government: 
The  Student  Government  Associa- 
tion or  SGA. 

The  beneficial  trademarks  of 
SGA  are  many.   Instead  of  having 
many  responsibilities,  an  elected 
official  can  concentrate  on  fulfilling 
one  purpose  or  just  a  few.  With 
special  job  titles  and  an  evident 
chain  of  command,  SGA  should 
improve  all  aspects  of  student  life. 
Graduating  senior  Brain  Warren 
has  passed  the  leadership  baton  to 
Willie  Sofield  for  SGA's  inaugural 
year.  Response  to  SGA  was 
greeted  with  positive  feeling  and 
enthusiasm,  from  both  faculty  and 
the  student  body.

A  Union  Everyone  Likes 

Student  Union  works  hard  to  bring 
some  excitement  to  the  Bryan  campus. 


Acfim.J\dventJure-.Entertainn  lentJhese 
are  just  a  few  of  the  thrills  that 
Studen  Union  provided  for  the 
studen  body  this  year.   Executive 
officers  Daniel  Johnson,  Becky 
Patterson  and  Willy  Sofield  worked 
hard  to  provide  old  time  favorite 
activities  as  well  as  new  and  excit- 
ing events.  They  started  the  year 
off  by  welcoming  back  familiar 
faces  and  getting  to  know  the  new 
ones  with  a  pool  party  and  super 
slide.  After  the  treacherous  trips 
down  the  soapy  slide  set  up  near 
the  soccer  field,  students  played 
water  games  and  relaxed  by  the 
pool,  whil  getting  reacquainted 
and  enjoying  watermelon. 

White  Water  rafting  and  Alpine 
Slide  returned  to  Union's  event 
calendar  as  long-running  favorites 
of  the  student  body  and  "Mysteries 
on  Campus"  brought  a  touch  of 
variety  to  the  year.   "Mysteries" 
consisited  of  a  3  person  acting

acting  skills  to  use  and  get  involved 
in  the  performance  as  they  tried  to 
keep  the  audience  from  solving  the 
crime.  Christmas  time  brought  a 
post-banquet  party  where  Santa 
Claus  was  the  featured  guest  and 
banquet  attenders  could  pose 
with  jolly  Old  St.  Nick  for  pictures. 
"The  Grinch  Stole  Christmas" and 
"It's  A  Wonderful  Life'  were  also  on 
the  evening's  agenda.   The  highlight 
of  the  year,  though,  came  in  mid- 
Tebreuary  when  the  musical  talents 
bfthe  popular  bands  Audio 
Adrenaline  and  The  Newsboys  lit 
up  the  stage  of  Rudd  Auditorium. 
Thanks  to  the  persistent  and  hard 
working  Vice  president  of  concerts, 
Willy  Sofield  the  biggest  concert 
ever  scheduled  at  Bryan  College 
was  a  complete  success  and  stu- 
dents continued  to  "Shine"  for 
weeks  afterward.

Chorale 


-w'Twas  the  season,  the  Chorale  presented  the 
Christmas  Fine  Arts  Concert  again  this  year. 


Many  Mobile  Musicians 

Chorale  members  sacrifice  spring  break 
to  represent  Bryan  College  on  the  road 


As  the  rush  of  mid-term  exams 
comes  to  a  close,  most  people  look 
forward  to  relaxing  and  going 
home  for  spring  break,  but  not  the 
Bryan  College  Chorale.  For  more 
than  a  week  (March  3  to  March 
1 2),  the  traveling  singers  live  out  of 
suitcases  and  sleep  in  a  different 
bed  every  night.  The  chorale's  tour 
is  a  rigorous  one  singing  in  nearly  a 
dozen  churches  from  Atlanta  and 
Blairsville,  Georgia  to  St.  Peters- 
burg, Florida. 

With  such  a  large  area  to  be 
covered,  long  bus  rides  were  to  be 
expected.  To  pass  the  time,  many 
people  engaged  in  intense  spades 
tournaments.  Others  watched 
movies  on  the  bus'  moniter  system 
to  help  pass  the  time. 

Once  we  arrived  at  the 


churches,  we  were  usually  fed  a 
meal  by  the  church  (spaghetti  was 
a  popular  entree).  Then  the  cho- 
rale would  do  a  concert.  After- 
wards, it  was  time  to  find  out  the 
housing  arrangements  for  the 
evening.   Many  a  tale  was  told  of 
the  adventures  that  were  had  at 
the  host's  home  the  night  before. 

The  tour  was  not  all  work 
though.  While  in  the  St.  Peters- 
burg area,  the  chorale  went  to 
Busch  Gardens  and  the  beach. 

Even  though  the  tour  was  very 
entertaining,  and  we  all  had  lot  of 
fun,  the  chorale  members  still  kept 
their  focus  on  what  chorale  tour  is 
really  all  about:  ministering  to 
people  for  Jesus  Christ.

Making  a  Joyful  Noise 

Both  vocalists  and  instrumentalists  give 
generously  of  their  time  and  talents 


In  an  effort  to  spread  the  Word 
of  God  though  the  ministry  of 
music,  Bryan  College  has  several 
music  groups  which  represent  the 
college  in  churches  throughout  the 
United  States. 

The  Symphonic  Wind  En- 
semble, a  small  ensemble  made  up 
of  people  who  play  the  trumpet, 
french  horn,  the  tuba,  baritone, 
flute,  clarinet,  and  saxophone, 
often  share  their  musical  gifts  at 
college  concerts,  chapel  and  other 
special  events. 

VISION,  a  six-member  vocal 
group,  includes  a  quartet  of  voices, 
a  pianist  and  a  sound  engineer. 
With  the  dubious  distinctions  of 
being  the  smallest  organized  vocal 
group  at  Bryan  College,  VISION 
also  requires  the  most  time  and 
energy.  The  group  is  constantly  on 
the  move.  Traveling  to  dozens  of 
churches  throughout  the  United 
States  each  semester,  these  tal-

message  in  music  and  answering 
questions  about  Bryan  College. 

Senior  Tabitha  Rasnake  is  a 
began  her  stint  as  a  VISION  vocal- 
ist as  a  freshman.  She  is  the 
group's  soprano.  A  newer  face 
and  voice  is  Junior  Rachel  Snyder, 
alto.  Dean  of  Men  Chris  Watkins 
sings  tenor  and  has  been  the 
sponsor  of  VISION  for  several 
years.  The  rookie  vocalist  is  fresh- 
man John  Bailey,  bass.  Supporting 
the  mixed  quartet  are  Tena 
DeVaney,  pianist,  and  Todd 
DeVaney,  sound  engineer. 

Rachel  Snyder  especially  enjoys 
meeting  new  people.  "Vision  is  a 
really  neat  opportunity  to  minister 
to  many  people  who  we  probably 
never  would  have  met  otherwise," 
she  said.  "I  have  really  enjoyed 
doing  the  concerts  and  I  feel  like 
God  is  really  working  through  us."

Deadlines,  late  nights,  work

mornings,  misplaced  articles,  lost 
photographs:  its  all  a  normal  part 
of  any  student's  life  who  is  in- 
volved in  a  student  publication. 
The  Commoner  staff  spends  count- 
less hours  in  weekly  meetings 
gathering  ideas  for  pages,  delegat- 
ing assignments,  taking  pictures, 
meeting  deadlines,  proofing  copy, 
laying  out  pages  and  producing  a 
memory-filled  book  to  give  each 
student  a  tool  in  which  to  remem-

staff  also  spends  hours  upon  hours 
every  other  Tuesday  night  working 
to  get  out  the  bi-weekly  publication 
of  campus  happenings.  Tuesday 
night  work  sessions  often  begin 
after  eleven  at  night  and  drag  on

Some  yearbook  staff  members

their  call  of  duty.   When  June  7 
rolled  around  the  book  was  still 
incomplete.  Yet  Tim  Lien,  Melody 
Sheddan,  and  Bobby  Lay  contin- 
ued to  put  in  8  hour  days  to  get  it 
done.  Melinda  Snead  even  came 
back  from  the  city  of  Atlanta  to 
help  get  it  done.  Trying  to  find 
pictures  that  were  never  taken  is 
not  an  easy  task:    Neither  is  writ- 
ing 10  articles  a  night,  millions  of 
captions,  or  titles  and  still  be 
creative.  Tim  and  Melody  working 
together  and  actually  getting  along 
is  another  impossibility.  These 
were  just  some  of  the  many  blocks 
that  we  had  to  overcome  to  bring 
this  book  to  you.  We  hope  you

Making  Life  A  Choice 

Students  for  Life  work  hard  to  give  lo- 
cal girls  love,  life,  support,  and  love 


Fighting  the  battle  for  defensless 
unborn  lives  on  the  Bryan  College  campus 
was  the  Students  for  Life  organization  . 
Ver)>  often  the  issue  of  abortion  is  highly 
emotional  and  sometimes  harsh  voices  are 
louder  than  actual  love  towards  those 
affected  by  it.  President  of  Students  for 
Life,  Julie  Scott,  has  worked  tremendously 
hard  to  inform  Bryan  Students  of  the 
immensity  of  the  problem  and  the  large 
amount  of  need.  Working  along  side  of 
Kathy  Woods  of  the  Dayton's  Women's 
Care  Center,  Julie  organized  student 
involvment,  activities,  and  headed  fund 
raising  and  the  annual  Walk  For  Life. 

The  purpose  of  the  Women 's  Care 
Center  is  to  provide  counseling  for  those 
who  are  currently  pregnant  and  those  who 
have  chosen  abortion.  Free  pregnancy 
tests  are  given  as  well  as  baby  supplies  and 
maternity  clothes.  Btyan  students  are 
involed  by  helping  with  counseling  and  by 
donating  their  time  to  help  around  the 
center  and  the  events.   The  funding  for 
these  services  comes  from  private  dona- 
tions and  large  fundraisers  like  the  Walk  for 
Life.   This  last  year  Walk  for  Life  raised  over 
10,000  dollars,  almost  doubling  last  year's 
contributions.   The  advantage  of  having  a 
publicized  fund-raiser  is  that  it  naturally 
raises  more  money,  but  more  importantly  it 
lifts  the  awareness  of  the  fight  on  abortion

community.  It  also  gives  students  and  the 
local  church  to  advocate  a  pro-life  stance 
without  being  violent  or  appearing  hateful. 

Bryan  students  were  also  given  an 
opportunity  to  place  baby  supplies  in  an 
empty  crib  that  was  placed  in  the  Lion's 
Den  for  collection  to  be  distributed  at  the 
center.  Julie  Scott  and  Kathy  Woods  also 
held  a  touching  and  beautiful  candlelight 
service  that  honored  the  deaths  of  so  many 
innocent  unborn  children.  Events  and 
services  similar  to  these  achieved  their 
purpose  to  inform  and  educate  those  who 
havn't  been  close  to  the  abortion  issue. 

One  other  special  event  was  a  special 
speaker  who  was  a  former  abortionist  and 
had  owned  several  abortion  clinics.  Now, 
a  Christian,  she  described  many  feelings 
that  accompany  and  surround  the  intimate 
ideas  of  abortion. 

One  of  the  amazing  aspects  of 
Students  for  Life  and  the  care  center  is  that 
all  work  is  on  a  volunteer  basis.  Students 
that  were  involved  in  SFL  give  a  time  and 
emotional  committment  to  many  lives  of 
women  that  absorb  the  love  and  care  that 
the  women 's  center  provides.  Bry'an 
College  is  privleged  to  be  an  active  part  in 
the  community,  and  especially,  contribut- 
ing hope  and  help  to  many  valuable  lives.

--Guillermo  Pneto  Espaha 
on  hearing  the  news 
of  the  explosion 


The  initial  reports  on  CNN 
gave  us  no  real  facts.  But 
then  what  the  reporters 
were  saying  was  not  impor- 
tant.   The  images  were.  An 

entire  building  crippled  by  an  incredible  ex- 
plosive force,  lay  in  rubble  as  screaming  people 
tended  to  wounds  or  helped  others  from  the 
wreckage.  A  man  bleeding  with  cuts  up  and 
down  his  arm,  still  searching  for  other  less 
fortunate  still  left  inside.  Little  children  and 
infants  caught  in  the  ugly  crossfire  of  a  twisted 
adult  world.  These  were  the  things  we  saw 
and  we  didn't  need  to  know  the  specifics.  We 
saw  pain  and  tragedy.  "What  foreign  element 
could  have  done  this,"  we  wondered.  Only  to 
find  that  this  was  a  domestic  problem.  Some- 
thing that  arose  within  our  own  borders.  Why? 
How?  Another  fear  crept  into  the  American 
mind-  if  it  could  happen  in  Oklahoma,  what's 
stopping  it  from  hitting  where  I  live?  Is  hu- 
man life  becoming  a  political  statement  at  the 
price  of  death?  As  crowds  gathered  to  watch 
the  demolishing  of  the  remains  of  the  remains 


of  the  the  federal  building  in  Oklahoma  City, 
more  tears  were  openly  shed.  It  brought  back 
the  memories  of  an  earlier  explosion  which 
destroyed  so  many  lives  and  affected  every 
American's  mind.  It  made  us  wonder  how  safe 
America  really  is  and  how  heartless  some 
people  are.  How  could  someone  blow  up  a 
building  that  had  a  daycare  on  the  scond  floor 
?  As  the  FBI  arrested  Timothy  Mcveigh  and 
searched  for  more  arrests,  the  issue  of  gov- 
ernmental hatred  and  political  unrest  became 
important.  Yet  even  through  this  tragedy,  poli- 
tics was  brought  in.  Each  party  blames  each 
other.  How  the  government  could  already  start 
blaming  each  other  is  shameful.  What  hap- 
pened was  the  result  of  a  very  demented  per- 
son. Not  the  results  of  a  Rush  Simbaugh  fan 
or  a  fanatical  right-wingist.  Every  person  hurt 
for  the  families  of  the  dead,  especially  the 
lost  innocence  in  the  children's  death.  The 
rescuers  will  forever  be  scarred  by  the  images 
of  the  bodies  found.  It  will  be  a  long  time  be- 
fore people  heal  from  the  wound  that  blasted 
open  in  Oklahoma  City. 


PAIN  IS  NEVER  FOREIGN.  Haiti  was  em- 
broiled in  severe  political  problems  of  their 
own.  Shortages  of  fuel,  food,  and  water  left^g 
the  small  country  in  a  sea  of  confusion.  Shar- 
ing part  of  their  distress  was  Japan  whose  is- 
land suffered  a  devastating  earthquake,  that 
leveled  seemingly  indestructible  structures.  The 
year  also  brought  fear  to  the  Japanese  people 
who  also  dealt  with  terrorists  that  exposed  poi- 
sonous gases  in  public  places.

Forever  friendships.  Exciting 
knowledge.  Faith  through  tragedy. 
Loving  professors.  Christ  Above  All. 
These  are  a  few  of  the  many  things 
that  have  left  a  lasting  impact  on  the 
Class  of  1995.  We  came  together  in 
August  of  1991  as  a  very  diverse  group 
of  people.  We  came  from  different 
backgrounds,  different  countries,  for 

different  reasons. 

However,  we  did  have  one 

thing  in  common-a  love  for  God 

and  a  desire  to  grow  in  faith  and 

truth.  Somehow  we  all  knew  that 

Bryan  College  was  the  place  for 

us--a  place  where  we  could  love 

and  grow  more  than  we  could 

ever  imagine. 

Our  years  between  beanies 

and  caps  and  gowns  are  packed 

with  memories.  As  I  think  over 

the  things  that  have  happened,  I 

realize  a  distinctive  of  our  class- 

-teamwork.  No  matter  what  hap- 


pened, we  were  going  to  experience  it  together. 
From  agonizing  over  Freshman  term  papers,  to 
supporting  our  athletes,  to  organizing  our  chap- 
els, we  worked  as  a  team. 

When  tragedy  struck  and  we  nearly  lost  one 
of  our  friends,  Tina  Leap,  to  a  nearly  fatal  car 
wreck  during  our  sophomore  year,  we  just 
pulled  together  and  prayed.. .as  a  team. 

And  when  it  was  time  to  just  hang  out  and 
have  fun,  nobody  could  think  up 
more  crazy  stuff  than  the  Class 
of  1995  (I've  even  forgiven  who- 
ever covered  my  maroon 
Beamer  with  Clinton  propaganda 
and  put  it  in  the  lobby  of  Rudd 
following  the  election.) 

Together,  we  have  laughed, 
cried,  prayed,  and  loved. . .  and 
Bryan  College  is  a  place  that  we 
will  never  forget.

Sometimes  the  greatest  blessings  in 
life  don't  jump  out  and  grab  you.  I  re- 
member the  first  time  1  came  to  Bryan 
College.  It  was  in  the  middle  of  the  Sum- 
mer and  absolutely  no  one  was  on  cam- 
pus. It  looked  like  a  ghost  town  and  like 
all  the  ghost  were  on  vacation.  I  remem- 
ber thinking  to  myself,  "There's  no  way 
I'm  coming  to  this  little  country  town  in 
the  middle  of  nowhere.  I  wanted  to  go 
to  a  "BIG"  university.  After  all,  the  big- 
ger the  better  right?  God  eventually 
changed  my  mind  and  blessed  me 
beyond  my  wildest  dreams  by  allow- 
ing me  to  attend  Bryan  College. 

I  remember  talking  to  a  cheer- 
leader one  day  in  the  library.  She 
was  beautiful,  but  didn't  make  the 
greatest  first  impresssion.  (Not  that 
she  was  trying  to.)  I  thought  to  my- 
self, "There  is  no  way  I  could  ever 
date  this  chick!"  Boy,  did  God  open 
my  eyes.  Two  years  later  I  married 
her  and  Portia  has  become  my  clos- 
est earthly  friend.  She  challenges  me 
to  live  a  life  worthy  of  the  title 
"Christian." 

Life  sure  does  change  after  you 
say  "I  do."  There  are  positives  and 


negatives.  You  have  to  pay  the  "bills."  There  is  no 
"all-in!"  You  get  to  know  a  person  better  than  you 
have  ever  known  anyone  before.  You  come  home 
to  the  person  you  love.  I  do  miss  dorm  life  and 
hanging  out  with  the  guys,  but  I'd  never  go  back 
because  I'm  right  where  I  belong. 

I  used  to  think  to  myself,  "There  is  no  way  I 
want  to  have  children  early  in  my  marriage."  God 
again  changed  my  mind.  Look  for  "Causey  Produc- 
tions," to  make  their  first  product  in  early  October. 
And,  truthfully,  I  can't  wait  until  that  precious  little 
baby  gets  here.  I'm  gonna  love  it 
'til  I  can't  love  it  anymore. 

Sometimes  the  greatest  bless- 
ings in  life  don't  jump  out  and  grab 
you.  Often  times  life's  greatest 
blessings  aren't  even  what  we  want. 
But  God  knows  what's  best  for  us 
and  what  will  bring  Him  the  great- 
est glory.  I'm  grateful  that  He  is  in 
control  and  not  me.  I'm  thankful 
that  He  has  been  the  same  faithful 
God  both  before  and  after  I  said,  "I 
Do!"

Graduating  Seniors  probably 
would  describe  their  college  experi- 
ence as  anything  BUT  routine  and 
predictable.  Pledged  bachelors  found 
themselves  wearing  a  ring,  while 
young  women  who  thought  good 
men  lived  in  storybooks,  joined  their 
own  story  with  another.  Buisness 
majors  decided  to  enter  seminary, 
and  some  who  had  promised 
that  May  1995  would  mark  the 
end  of  their  educational  endeav- 
ors decided  that  a  few  more  years 
of  school  to  get  their  Masters  or 
Doctorate  degree  would  not  be  so 
bad  after  all.  Expecting  the  un-

cliche  here  at  Bryan  College. 
Nothing  is  normal,  nothing  is 
routine.

of  the  adventurous  and  the  unpredictable.  The 
unexpected  nearly  became  routine  on  Bryan 
Hill  this  year,  from  the  felonious  prank  of  steal- 
ing license  plates,  to  near-death  accidents  and 
an  emotional  goodbye  to  a  longtime  friend  and 
mother- Joanie  Bostic.  Matt  Gore's  caving  ac- 
cident was  shock  to  everyone,  but  many  prayers 
were  answered  as  he  made  an  incredible  re- 
covery that  encouraged  everyone  around  him. 
Undisputedly,  most  seniors 
agreed  that  they  could  not  have 
imagined  the  changes  and  events 
that  happened  over  four  years  of 
college.  For  many,  it  gives  a 
sense  of  excitement  and  antici- 
pation for  what  careers,  families, 
and  God's  plan  holds  for  the  fu- 
ture. 

Once  again,  Bryan  College 
graduates  a  class  of  students  that 
enjoys  the  unexpected,  de- 
mands the  uncommon,  and  rev- 
els in  the  new  and  the  exciting.

E\GjRIENCING  SENIORITY: 

Juniors  reap  the  benefits  of  years  of  collegiate  struggle: 
Top  eleven  reasons  to  push  past  that  sophomore  slump 


Last  week  I  was  taking  a  walk  around  campus  and  I  realized  that  my  feet  hurt. 
I  was  just  walking,  taking  in  beauty  and  wonder  of  Bryan  College.  It  occurred 
to  me  that  while  being  a  junior  is  hard  and  exasperating  at  times  (the  first 
month  and  half  of  my  status  as  a  junior  has  been  overbearingly  stressful.),  it  is 
refreshing  to  be  able  to  see  the  light  at  the  end  of  the  proverbial  tunnel.  I 
have  compiled  a  list  of  the  top  eleven  fun  facts  about  becoming  a  junior 
(other  than  the  fact  that  you  have  to  in  order  to  eventually  become  a  senior). 
Fact  number  11:  They  get  better  chapel  seats.  Fact  number  10:  It's  a  shorter 
word  than  "sophomore"  and  it  takes  less  time  to  spell.   Fact  number  9:  You 
don't  have  to  wait  as  long  for  early  registration.   Fact  number  8:  The  class 
size  begins  to  diminish.   Fact  number  7:  It's  from  the  Latin  root  word  "juvenis" 
meaning,  well  lots  of  different  things.   Fact  number  6:  It's  also  (typically)  a 
boys'  name.   Fact  number  5:  They  have  more  privileges  than  the  sophomores, 
but  not  as  many  responsibilities  as  the  seniors.   Fact  number  4:  By  the  time 
you're  a  junior,  you  know  the  best  ways  to  sneak  out.   Fact  number  3:  They 
know  the  best  places  to  graze  (okay,  so  this  is  if  you're  a  sheep,  but  you  catch 
the  metaphor).   Fact  number  2:  You  don't  have  to  go  to  Siberia  to  be  a  junior. 
Fact  number  1:  They  are  the  epitome  of  cool.  By  Chris  Fickley 


►When  juniors  get  frustrated,  its  time  to  suv  out  their  u.,v.  Mi|»-  Ao<i 
Matt  Jones  and  Stacy  Price  are  great  at  non-verba!  communication;  but 
Tara  Luther  expresses  smiling  perfection. 


►  Cristy  Kroeker  isn't 
quite  sure  what  angle 
to  take  in  her  revenge 
against  Dr.  Traylor. 
The  pie  toss  was  a 
wonderful  tension 
release  for  many 
students  and  staff 
members.

ENCODING  UPPEROASSflEN 

The  love  bug  of  engagement  and  marraige  is  back,  he's 
preying  on  younger  victims,  and  the  juniors  aren't  thrilled. 


By  the  time  one  gets  to  be  a  junior,  he  or  she  has  become  too  mature  to 
resort  to  torturing  underclassmen.  Those  juvenile  practices  were  left  behind 
long  ago  (actually  last  year,  but  that's  beside  the  point).    However,  there  are 
some  things  that  irk  juniors  so  much  that  they  succumb  to  temptation  and 
begin  the  process  of  sophomoric  (sorry,  it's  in  the  dictionary)  pranks, 
gossip,and  other  such  degrading  practices.  This  year,  the  junior  class  (at  the 
least  the  female  half)  has  something  legitimate  to  gripe  about.  We,  the 
Junior  class,  want  to  know  what's  up  with  all  these  freshmen  and  sopho- 
mores getting  engaged  (or  "promised")?   I've  heard  of  going  to  college  for 
your  MRS  degree,  but  the  usual  consensus  is  to  wait  until  the  junior  or 
senior  year.   All  right,  so  we're  a  teeny  bit  jealous,  and  we're  ready  to  yell  the 
old  stand-by  that  got  us  later  bed  times  in  grade  school  and  later  curfews  in 
high  school,  "It's  not  fair!    We're  OLDER!!"  Okay,  so  maybe  that  tactic 
doesn't  work  anymore.  What  it  all  boils  down  to,  and  you  current  sopho- 
mores and  freshmen  may  see  this  point  when  you're  in  our  shoes  watching 
your  younger  peers  get  married,  is  that  we  feel  like  old  maids  at  20,  21,  and 
22.   Stop  making  us  feel  so  old.   It's  depressing. 

By  Sandy  Britt 


►Just  when  you  thought  they  were  gone,  they  came  back,  and  thi 
they're  juniors.  Yikes.  Kyle  DeVaney,  Shonda  Tompkins,  B.  Waike

NSIVE  SEARCH: 


The  search  for  an  exciting  place  to  celebrate  one's  21st 
birthday  is  slightly  less  than  hopeful  in  Rhea  county. 


One's  21st  birthday  comes  only  once  in  a  lifetime.   It's  a  spectacular  moment 
when  you  are  officially  considered  an  adult  in  all  capacities,  can  drive  rental  cars 
in  most  states,  and  obtain  the  privelege  to  buy  you-know-what  legally.  Yes, 
one's  21st  birthday  should  be  a  special  time,  an  unforgattable  day,  but  in  Day- 
ton, TN  an  unforgettable  moment  is  unacheivable  if  looking  for  entertainment 
in  town.  The  local  Generation  X-ers  visit  Wal-Mart  parking  lot  religiously  every 
Friday  and  Saturday  nights.  This  could  be  done  to  celebrate  such  an  important 
time  as  a  birthday,  but  most  cars  these  days  just  don't  have  gas  mileage  neces- 
sary to  have  such  an  adventurous  outing.   Bubba's  is  a  good  place  to  eat,  but  it's 
a  scary  thought  to  see  the  same  people  you  just  saw  5  minutes  ago  on  campus 
joining  you  unofficially  for  the  big  celebration.   Darn.  Of  course  there  is  Chatta- 
nooga. A  nice  eventful  drive  down  27  to. ..what?  Hamilton  Place  food  court? 
The  aquarium?  The  college  favorite  (especially  during  Forrest  Gump),  The 
Redbank  Dollar  Theater?  All  lovely  suggestions  for  just  any  night  on  the  town, 
but  your  21st  birthday?   Next  suggestion.    Atlanta  would  be  a  GREAT  idea,  but 
only  if  you  know  someone  who  lives  there.  It's  impossible  to  get  per  for  any 
hotel  visit  in  the  United  States.   So  what  else  is  there  to  do  for  the  big  21  ?  Sit  in 
the  lounge,  watch  Urkle,  and  wish  you'd  picked  a  college  nearer  the  big  city 

where  option  exist.  By  Sandy  Britt

E\taPTIOIWL  RECOVERY: 


Sophomore  Matt  Gore  miraculously  survives  a  near-fatal 
accident  and  surpasses  all  odds  of  recovery. 


A  caving  adventure  turned  into  24  hours  of  pure  horror  for  Matt  Gore  on 
February  3,  1995.   Matt,  Nathan  Lorenzen,  and  Jake  Minton  were  planning  to 
spend  the  night  in  the  Grassy  Cove  cave  outside  of  Grandview.  While  they 
were  climbing  down  fallen  rock,  Matt  pulled  some  loose  and  fell  a  total  of  30 
feet  to  a  pit  at  the  bottom  of  a  waterfall  in  the  cave.   Matt  fell  at  approximately 
8:00  P.M.  Jake  went  for  help  at  about  5:00  A.M.  The  rescue  workers  began  to 
come  at  9:00  A.M.   He  was  removed  from  the  cave  at  8:05  on  Saturday 
evening.  Transported  to  Erlanger  Hospital  of  Chattanooga  via  Life  Force  heli- 
copter, he  was  diagnosed  with  a  broken  left  hand,  possible  kidney  damage,  a 
bazil  fracture  to  the  skull,  blood  on  the  right  side  of  his  brain,  and  multiple 
breaks  to  the  face.   In  time  his  hand  turned  out  to  be  dislocated,  no  kidney 
damage  was  confirmed,  no  spine  or  neck  injuries  occurred,  the  blood  clot  on 
the  brain  never  changed  size,  and  no  infection  occured  on  the  brain  due  to  the 
skull  fracture.   On  February  9,  Matt  underwent  six-and-a-half  hours  of  facial 
reconstruction.   Metal  plates  were  implanted  in  his  face  and  his  jaw  was  wired 
shut  due  to  the  multiple  breaks.  The  following  Monday,  the  wire  for  his  jaw  was 
partially  cut  and  some  stitches  were  removed.   On  February  15,  1995,  Matt 
returned  home  to  Birmingham  to  recover.  (As  of  March  3,  Matt  was  planning  to 
return  to  classes  after  Spring  Break!!)  By  Jennifer  Wilson

ERTS  IN  EVERYTHING 


The  sophomore  class  shows  their  expertise  as  they  reach 
the  top  of  the  proverbial  hill  and  start  the  downhill  trek. 


I  can  remember  when  I  was  a  little  girl  and  thought  that  college  was  for,  like, 
old  people.  College  people  were  ADULTS!   I  don't  think  I  ever  imagined 
that  one  day  I,  too  would  be  that  old.   Now  that  we  as  sophomores  are 
almost  halfway  through  college  (yikes!),  I  can't  believe  I  ever  thought  college 
aged  people  were  old.   It  kind  of  makes  me  wonder  what  five-year-olds  think 
when  I  tell  them  I'm  in  college.   I'm  sure  many  of  you  sophomores  can 
relate.   Does  it  ever  seem  to  you  that  life  is  going  to  fast,  and  you  wish  there 
were  an  optional  slow  motion  life  so  that  you  had  more  time  to  enjoy  it? 
Okay,  so  maybe  it's  just  me.   Whatever.   Seriously  though,  look  at  what  we 
as  the  sophomore  class  have  (hopefully)  accomplished  this  year.  We  have 
been  accepted  into  our  major  of  choice.  We  have  passed  the  halfway  mark 
in  our  college  trek.  We  have  undertaken  many  positions  of  leadership  other 
than  just  in  our  class.   We  have  been  able  to  say  to  the  freshmen,  "Oh,  I 
remember  that  from  last  year."  and  sound  like  experts  on  the  subject.  We 
have  successfully  shown  through  chapels  our  desire  to  serve  the  Lord  , 
Bryan  College,  and   our  fellow  students.   On  the  whole,  the  class  of  1997  is 
having  a  great  time,  learning  a  lot  (or  so  our  parents  hope),  and  growing 
closer  to  each  other  and  the  Lord  day  by  day.   I  am  proud  to  be  a  part  of 
this  class,  and  I  hope  the  rest  can  say  the  same.    By  Elizabeth  Clark 


►Whether  talking  on  the  phone  like  Melissa  Carson,    Sunbathing 
(burning)  like  Marcy  Treat,  Mudsliding  like  Beth  Wilson,  or  simply  posin 
like  Beth  Ketchersid,  Bryan  College  sophomore  girls  really  get  around.

YlR4  CURRICULA 


Sarah  Sophomore  leaves  Freshman  worries  behind  as  she 
moves  on  to  discover  what  college  life  is  really  about. 


Dear  Mom  and  Dad, 

I  am  amazed  at  how  much  I  enjoy  college  now  that  I  know  how  to  do  it  right. 
I  haven't  eaten  a  meal  in  the  cafeteria  in  weeks  (by  the  way,  they  let  me  return  my 
Music  Theory  book  since  I've  decided  to  be  a  Biology  teacher.   You'd  be  amazed  at 
how  many  tacos  you  can  buy  with  $24.95.)    I've  learned  a  lot  this  year  (Isn't  that  why 
you  sent  me  to  a  liberal  arts  college?)   The  walking  track  is  a  whole  lot  less  crowded  if 
you  go  during  chapel,  and  they  don't  campus  you  until  you  have  nine  chapel  cuts  (I 
won't  be  missing  anymore  this  semester).  I  am  no  longer  intimidated  by  the  computer 
labs.    I  am  an  expert  at  Pegasus  Mail  and  computer  calling  since  Jimmy  and  I  always 
"talk"  after  all-in.   My  profs  have  been  fabulous  this  semester.   Of  course,  it  helps  that  I 
don't  have  to  take  as  many  dumb  Gen-Eds.    I  found  the  best  place  to  lay  out  which  is 
good  because  now  when  I  go  to  the  Bahamas  (hint)  to  visit  this  really  cool  exchange 
student,  I  won't  get  a  major  burn.    It's  a  real  relief  to  no  longer  be  a  Scholarship

e\C^SPERATING  SIBLINGS: 

Brothers  and  Sisters  share  Bryan  College.  Yes,  it  is  pos- 
sible to  attend  the  same  college  and  stay  sane! 


i 


It's  hard  to  erase  the  genes  that  our  parents  have  passed  on  to  us,  espe- 
cially when  an  older  brother  or  sister  is  involved.   Many  upperclassmen 
have  had  their  space  invaded  by  their  freshman  brother  or  sister  this  year. 
And  as  if  sharing  a  campus  with  a  younger  sibling  wasn't  bad  enough, 
three  older  brothers  ended  up  sharing  their  activities  with   that  sibling. 
These  three  brother/sister  teams  are  Chris  and  Sharon  Wood,  Ngam  and 
Ngong  Ngangmuta,  and  Brian  and  Dave  Warren.     Chris  and  Sharon  both 
share  a  talent  of  vocal  performance.   Many  times,  alone,  together,  or  with 
other  people,  they  have  sung  at  chapels,  banquets,  and  other  special 
events.  They  both  participate  in  the  Chorale,  and  they  went  on  tour  to 
Florida  last  March.    Ngam  and  Ngong  both  played  on  the  Bryan  College 
soccer  team  last  fall,  and  they  both  plan  to  play  again  next  year  as  well. 
Brian  and  Dave  Warren  were  intricately  involved  in  Student  Senate  last 
year.  They  both  helped  plan  and  form  the  new  Student  Government 
Association.   It  can  probably  be  difficult  to  have  a  brother  or  sister  with 
you  at  the  same  college  no  matter  if  you  are  the  older  one  or  the  younger 
one,  but  I  am  sure  it  can  be  fun  at  times  too.   It's  like  a  little  piece  of  home 
brought  with   you  to  college.   I'm  sure  we  will  see  many  more  sibling  pairs 
in  future  years.    By  Sandy  Britt

WING  OUR  HORIZONS: 


College  rookies  face  challenges  and  changes,  determined 
to  reach  the  next  rung  on  the  educational  ladder 

FRESHMAN.   Eight  letters  that  together  spell  a  whole  new  world.    From  the  secure 
world  of  our  homes  and  high  school  to  dorm  life  and  a  new  level  of  academic 
achievement.  Gone  are  the  days  when  teachers  would  give  you  the  answers  to  the 
next  day's  test  during  your  review.  Now,  instead  we  struggle  to  figure  out  what 
each  professor  wants.  Socially,  it's  also  a  whole  new  world.  We've  met   lots  of  new, 
good  looking  guys  (or  girls)  to  date.  Okay,  so  maybe  the  part  about  dating  isn't 
true,  but  bear  with  us.  Freshmen  headed  up  Bryan  Hill  expecting  change,  but 
STRESS  is  also  part  of  the  package.  Classes  are  are  our  main  stressor,  especially  for 
the  unlucky,  ignorant  freshmen  who  had  no  upperclassman  warning  to  avoid 
Ketchersid's  Western  Civ  class.    Freshmen  who  came  to  college  with  academic 
scholarships  have  added  a  new  level  of  urgency  to  their  prayer  life  -  praying  that 
they  can  maintain  the  GPA  to  keep  the  scholarship.  The  infamous  freshman  term 
paper  that  causes  many  students  to  pull  their  first  all-nighter  (or  to  pull  out  most  of 
their  hair  during  a  late-night  session  at  the  computer).  For  some  of  us  computers 
are  one  of  the  biggest  stressors  ever.   Then  there's  always  the  transition  from 
mom's  good  ole'  home  cooking  to  Argo's  cafeteria.    Freshmen  must  learn  to  be 
quick  on  their  feet,  too.  Jumping  out  of  the  shower  every  time  someone  flushes  the 
toilet  lest  you  be  scalded  is  an  art  form,  perfected  by  mid-November.   About  40 
lucky  freshmen  even  got  to  live  in  Long  dorm  with  bats,  paper-thin  mattresses,  and 
no-sink  counters,  but,  hey,  at  least  there's  a  great  view  of  Woodlee-Ewing.    But  the 
most  memorable  experience  of  college  is  the  first  lucky  college  date,  at  least  that's 
what  we've  been  told.  Take  a  hint  guys!    By  Melinda  Snead 


►Don't  our  freshmen  have  big  beautiful  smiles?   Allison  Womble,  Kristie 
Mattsson,  Chris  Triolo,  and  Akhari  Sakaguchi  show  us  how  happy  they 
are  to  be  Bryan  College  freshmen.

EXASPERATING  SIBLINGS 

Brothers  and  sisters  share  their  collegiate  experience. 
Yes,  this  campus  is  big  enough  for  all  of  them! 


Many  upperclassmen  have  had  their  space  invaded  by  their  freshman 
brother  or  sister  this  year.   And,  as  if  sharing  a  campus  with  a  younger  sibling 
wasn't  bad  enough,  three  older  brothers  watched  their  siblings  follow  in  their 
footsteps.   Chris  and  Sharon  Wood,  Ngam  and  Ngong  Ngangmuta,  and 
Brian  and  Dave  Warren  shared  meals,  professors,  and  common  interests. 
Chris  and  Sharon  both  share  a  talent  of  vocal  performance.   Bryan  students 
have  enjoyed  hearing  their  voices  (together,  with  others  and  solo)  at  chap- 
els, banquets,  and  other  special  events.  They  both  sing  in  the  Chorale, 
toured  Florida  during  break  with  the  group,  and  landed  leads  in  last  spring's 
production  Fiddler  on  the  Roof.  Ngam  and  Ngong  both  played  on  the  Bryan 
College  soccer  team  last  fall,  and  they  both  plan  to  play  again  next  year  as 
well.   Brian  and  Dave  Warren  were  intricately  involved  in  Student  Senate  last 
year.  They  both  helped  plan  and  form  the  new  Student  Government  Asso- 
ciation.  It  can  probably  be  difficult  to  have  a  brother  or  sister  with  you  at 
the  same  college  no  matter  if  you  are  the  older  one  or  the  younger  one  but 
I  am  sure  it  can  be  fun  at  times,  too.   It's  like  a  little  piece  of  home  brought 
with  you  to  college..    By  Sandy  Britt 


►The  finalists  for  the  Freshman  of  the  year  contest  are:  Dave  Warren 
speaker  extorclinaire;  Matthew  Hargraves,  academic  genius;    Jamie 
Cooper,  fashion  king;  and  Sharon  Wood...what  else,  singing.

Faculty  continually  pressing  toward  higher  education. 
"Never  stop  learning"  the  motto  at  Bryan  College. 


If  you  were  to  ask  many  of  the  Bryan  College  faculty  what  their  next  aca- 
demic goal  was,  they  would  most  likely  tell  you  they  were  working  toward 
obtaining  a  higher  degree  of  education.  A  high  percentage  of  high  schools 
and  colleges  are  requiring  their  faculty  to  constantly  be  learning  and  increas- 
ing their  knowledge  in  their  field  of  expertise.  Bryan  College  is  no  exception, 
but  rather  a  good  example.   Of  the  40  professors  here  at  Bryan  College, 
half  have  their  doctorates  in  the  area  that  they  teach.   At  least  half  the 
faculty  of  each  academic  department  have  their  doctorates.  Still  others  are 
close  to  finishing  or  in  the  process  of  their  finishing  doctorate  studies.   Last 
fall  Jeff  Breuhl  presented  his  dissertation  for  his  doctorate  in  Business.  This 
spring  Stephen  Barnettsuccessfully  defended  his  dissertation  and  now  has  a 
PhD  in  Natural  Science.   Ernie  Ricketts  will  be  leaving  us  for' the  next  two 
years  to  work  on  his  doctorate  in  Greek.   Whit  Jones  will  soon  be  finishing 
his  disertation  for  his  doctorate  in  English.  Jim  Coffield  is  about  through  with 
his  doctorate  studies  in  Psychology.   Academics  are  important  to  Bryan 
College  not  just  for  students  but  by  the  faculty  as  well.  All  this  studying  is  a 
great  csae  of  studying  by  example.  By  Karis  E.  Clark 


►Melody  Klingbei!  always  manages  a  quick  smile.    Mr.  Jones  carries  his 
son  Will  on  his  shoulders.   Always  a  big  smile  from  Chuck  Reed.    Still 
smiling  after  being  "creamed"  by  pies.   You're  a  good  sport  Mr.  Ricketts 


►Mrs.  Arnold  is 
ready  for  the

they  register  first.

Faculty  continually  pressing  toward  higher  education. 
"Never  stop  learning"  the  motto  at  Bryan  College. 


Bryan  College  is  almost  like  a  family,  especially  if  it  IS  your  family.   Many  of 
our  faculty  members  are  husband  and  wife.  The  Dr.s  David  and  Sigrid 
Luther  are  co-partners  in  the  music  department.  They  practically  adopt  the 
members  of  the  chorale  and  the  chamber  singers.  They  almost  always  have 
time  to  talk  if  you  need  advice.    Dr.Jack  Traylor,  one  of  the  History  Profes- 
sors, and  his  wife  Karin,  who  works  in  the  Vice  President's  office,  though 
friendly  to  everyone,  have  a  special  place  in  their  hearts  for  the  girls'  basket- 
ball team.    The  Froemkes  are  another  husband/  wife  duo.   Ken  is  the  dean 
of  institutional  effect  and  planning,  and  his  wife  Marcy  is  a  music  instructor 
for  piano  and  organ.   Dennis  Ingolfsland  is  the  director  of  the  Library.   He's 
always  there  to  answer  questions  or  help  a  student  find  materials  for  a 
project.   Sheila  is  the  Bookstore  Manager.  They  were  my  floor  parents  this 
past  year,  and  I  can  tell  you,  they  tried  their  best  to  show  us  a  good  time 
whatever  we  were  doing.  Chris  and  Nita  Watkins  (though  Nita  isn't  really 
part  of  the  staff)  are  the  RDs  for  Woodlee-Ewing  as  well  as  Chris  being  the 
Dean  of  Men  and  the  director  of  VISION.  They  treat  the  VISION  members 
and  all  the  guys  in  Woodlee-Ewing  as  their  own  children.  The  entire  of  the 
staff  at  Bryan  loves  their  students,  but  it's  nice  to  have  surrogate  parents!

IT'S  ONLY  SKIN  DEEP.  But  the 

winner  of  this  year's  Miss  America

than  her  externals  as  she  became 
the  first  woman  to  win  the  crown 
that  had  a  disability.  Heather 
Whitestone  is  deaf.  Her  talents 
included  dancing,  where  she  per-

sympathy  towards  a  poor  mother  who  had 
been,  supposedly,  accosted  by  a  black  man 
carrying  a  gun.  But  the  public's  sympathy 
and  sadness  turned  to  horror  and  anger  as 
she  slowly  admitted  to  driving  her  car  into  the 
water  with  her  trusting,  helpless  two  little  boys. 
How  could  a  mother  kill  her  own  two  sons  for 
a  man  who  required  their  absence  for  a  pos- 
sible relationship? 

As  she  awaits  trial  the  debate  rages  on 
wether  or  not  this  cold  woman  deserves  the 
death  penalty.  This  comes  at  a  time  when 
many  are  re-evaluating  the  death  penalty  and 
looking  to  it  as  a  possible  solution  to  a  infla- 
tionary crime  rate.  It  does  not  go  to  the  core 
of  the  causes,  but  there  must  be  consequences 


and  there  must  be  accountability.  Those  chil- 
dren were  not  pets,  nor  were  they  unwanted 
trash  that  could  be  disposed  of  when  they  were 
a  hassle  or  uneeded.  The  uproar  of  the  Ameri- 
can public  was  a  much  needed  wake-up  call 
to  a  society  that  has  begun  to  take  the  value  of 
human  life  casually.  Will  the  defense  take  the 
angle  of  temporary  insanity?  Will  they  be  le- 
nient because  she  is  a  female?  Does  she  de 
serve  to  live  when  she  can  dispose  of  defensless 
lives  at  her  will?  Must  the  state  apply  its  pwer 
as  she  abused  her  power?  The  trial  will  defi 
nitely  become  a  media  frenzy,  as  the  issue  of 
the  death  penalty  will  play  a  large  part.  Man^ 
view  this  crime  as  particularly  cold  and  use-Ik 
less  murder  with  no  real  reason  or  rationale. 
A  mother.  Not  a  convicted  criminal 
Someone  like  we  know.  A  mother.  AmeriCc 
will  watch  this  trial  closely,  because  its  result; 
will  affect  us  all  very  closely.  Can  life  be  takei 
so  easily  with  reprocussion?  Hopefully,  thi 
trial  and  the  results  will  fare  better  than  the  0 
Simpson  fiasco. 


FIGHTING  THE  HATE.  The  US  once  again 
entered  another  country  to  extend  its  policies. 
Bosnia  proved  to  be  a  dangerous  place  for 
American  soldiers.  One  downed  pilot  was  nar- 
rowly rescued.  Rwanda  became  a  concentra- 
tion of  humans  living  in  poor  conditions  from 
ethnic  cleansing  that  was  similar  to  the  con- 
flict in  Bosnia.  Hundreds  of  lives  were  lost  as 
the  brutal  massacres  forced  thousands  to  flee 
the  country.

IT'S  A  THRILLER.  Michael  Jackson  has 
never  been  one  to  stay  out  of  the  news. 
Recovering  from  blasts  that  he  molested 
children,  Jackson  made  an  effort  to  save 
his  face  by  marrying  Lisa-Marie  Presley.  An 
exclusive  interview  is  planned  to  be  aired 
in  the  summer  of  '95  and  a  new  unreleased 
album  has  already  debuted  on  the  Billboard 
charts  at  number  four.  Without  hearing  a 
note  the  public  has  made  Jackson  a  larger 
rock  icon  than  the  Beatles.

Joan  Bostic  Demonstrated  Faith,  Courage,  Love 

Who  was  Joanie  Bostic?   lo  some  Bryan  students,  she  was  an  incredible  encouragement.    She  always  smiled,  always  had  a  kind 
word,  and  she  was  always  the  last  one  to  let  you  go  when  she  hugged  you.    lo  other  Bryan  students,  she  was  the  epitome  or 
courage  and  strength.   As  she  battled  leukimia  she  always  spoke  or  her  wonderful  Lord  Jesus  Christ  and  how  wonderful  and 
powerful  He  was.   To  others  she  seemed  to  he  the  embodiment  of  faith.    She  faced  each  day  that  the  Lord  gave  her  with  hope  for 
tomorrow  and  talk  of  her  next  Bryan  basketball  game.    If  you  asked  her  how  she  was  doing,  she  almost  invariably  answered  that 
she  knew  she  was  getting  stronger.    Who  was  Joanie  Bostic?    No  matter  what  way  she  may  have  ministered  in  your  life,  I'm  sure 
you  will  agree.   Joine  Bostic  was  our  friend,  and  we  will  miss  her.

and  satisfied.

Lions  earn  ticket  to  national  tournament, 
lose  tough  double  overtime  shootout 


In  1992  the  men's  soccer 
program  finished  with  4- 1 1 
record,  fans  hoped  that  1 993 
might  produce  better  results. 

1993  brought  a  12-5  record 
and  season  ending  defeat  to 
Temple  in  the  district  final. 

1 994  proved  to  be  the  year  of 
destiny.  The  Lion's  were  able 
to  defeat  the  defending 
district  champions  and  home 
a  district  championship 
banner.  Bryan  defeated 
Temple  and  got  the  monkey 
off  their  back.  Coach  Sandy 
Zensen  told  the  Triangle  "that 
we  will  be  up  for  this  year's 
game  (against  Temple).  Last 
year's  final  really  sticks  in  my 
craw."  Dr.  Zensen  demon- 
strated that  he  was  serious  by 
scheduling  Tennessee  Temple 
as  Bryan's  Homecoming 
opponent.    1 994  was  not 
without  disappointment  for 
the  championship  bound 
Lions.  There  was  some

speculation  that  the  4-0  start 
was  just  a  flash  in  the  pan. 
By  early  October  the  Lions 
had  fallen  to  an  unimpressive 
5-4.  A  three-game  winning 
streak  gave  hope,  but  the 
Lion's  then  fell  to  Tennessee 
Temple  at  Homecoming,  2-0. 
The  bad  news  got  worse  when 
the  Lion's  lost  to  King  in  the 


first  round  of  the  N.A.I.  A. 
playoffs.  Some  wondered  if 
Zensen  would  take  the  team  to 
the  N.C.C.A.  playoffs  even  if 
they  did  qualify.  The  Lions 
performed  well  in  the  district 
final.  They  avenged  their 
homecoming  defeat  with  a  2-0 
shutout  over  the  defending 
champs.  This  secured  the 
Lions  the  right  to  go  to  the 
national  tournament.  The 
momentum  carried  the  Lions 
to  a  tie  in  the  first  round  of  the 
National  tourney  After  two 
overtime  periods  the  game 
went  to  penalty  kicks.  Receiv- 
ing honors  for  the  Lions  in 
1994  were  Felipe  ARias, 
Mattie  Davies,  Jeremy 
Davidson,  and  Jeremy  Smith 
were  named  to  the  All-District 
team.  Felipe  Arias  was  namec 
an  Ail-American,  and  Jermey 
Davidson  was  named  All- 
Conference.

TTING  THE  PACE 

A  Young  Bryan  College  Volleyball  Team 
Makes  Good  Showing  with  Inexperience 


c 


>■  Looking  for  the  emminent  sideout, 
talented  freshman  Marty  Manor  was  a 
valuable  addition  to  Bryan  athletics. 


Volleyball  Camp  1994-  A 
handful  of  returning  players,  not 
sure  what  to  expect,  a  bunch  of 
scared-to-death  freshmen,  and  a 
new  coach.   What  kind  of  season 
ws  this  going  to  be?  I'm  sure 
that's  what  we  were  all  wonder- 
ing the  night  we  met  each  other 
for  the  first  time.  That  same 
night  Coach  Beck  talked  to  us 
about  what  she  wanted  for  the 
season,  and  what  she  expected 
from  us.  She  told  us  to  be  able 
to  have  pride;  pride  in  our  team, 
pride  in  our  accomplishments, 
and  pride  in  the  work  we  were 
going  to  put  in.   Pride  through 
hard  work  was  a  theme  carried 
out  throughout  the  entire  season, 
but  it  was  made  very  obvious  to 
us  the  first  week. 

Three  miles  in  HOW 
many  minutes?!   Most  of  us 
were  not  used  to  the  kind  of 
conditioning  that  we  went 
through  that  week,  and  many  of 
us  felt  sure  we  wouldn't  make  it, 
but  by  supporting  each  other  and 
giving  100%,  we  did,  and  it 
brought  us  closer  together. 

The  first  week  set  the  tone

leadership  for  the  youthful

Homecoming  Representative. 

for  the  upcoming  season,  and  we 
went  into  it  ready  to  face  the 
competition.  With  very  few 
returning  players,  several 
newcomers  stepped  into  the 
starting  positions  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  season.  Even  though 
they  were  not  used  to  playing 
with  each  other,  the  starters  were 
filling  their  demanding  roles  and 
were  soon  working  well  together 
and  winning  matches. 


As  the  season  progressed, 
injuries  became  an  increasing 
problem  and  the  team  had  to  lea 
to  play  together  no  matter  who 
was  on  the  court.  Many  of  the 
bench  players  had  to  step  in  on 
short  notice  and  fill  in  for  the 
depleted  roster.  In  every  situa- 
tion, the  players  managed  to  pul 
together  and  play  like  a  team.  V 
ended  the  season  with  a  record 
that  was  improved  over  Covena 
College  and  a  first  place  finish  i 
a  mid-season  tournament. 

Despite  discouraging 
setbacks  of  inexperience,  injurie 
and  demanding  workouts,  the 
team  grew  out  of  its  youthful 
label  and  began  to  shape  itself 
into  a  mature  team  with  poise  ai 
charisma.  The  year  could  have 
easily  seemed  like  a  failure,  but 
the  promising  outlook  for  the 
future  kept  hopes  and  spirits  hi£ 
Under  the  skillful  guidance  of 
Coach  Jeri  Beck,  the  team 
progressed  immensly  and  looks 
forward  to  next  year  with  antici 
pation.

TO  GET  THERE 


A  Tough  Season  Helps  Bryan  Tennis  To  Look 
Ahead  With  Excitement  And  Encouragement 


>-  Newcomer  to  the  Bryan 
campus,  Freshman  Mandy  Wills 
maintains  her  composure  through- 
out a  tough  match 


Although  the  combined 
record  for  the  Varsity  men's 
and  women's  tennis  teams 
was  2-18,  with  the  womwn 
earning  both  wins,  they  both 
had  stronger  seasons  than  the 
record  showed.  This  is  only 
the  second  year  Bryan  Col- 
lege has  had  a  tennis  team. 

Much  of  the  team  was 
young  and  most  decided  to 
play  for  Bryan  at  the  last 
minute.  The  team's  dedica- 
tion was  shown  by  working 
around  the  schedule  of  Coach 
Bill  Rush  and  even  by  having 
to  get  up  at  6:00  a.m.  one 
Saturday  for  an  away  match. 
But,  of  course,  there  were 
some  bonuses  and  perks  to 
playing  tennis:  many  classes 
were  missed  for  matches,  tans 
could  be  worked  on  while  not 
playing,  and  the  all-in  curfew 
was  not  in  effect  if  practice 
went  late. 

Since  Bill  Rush  coached 
both  tennis  teams,  most  of 


>^  Hoping  that  running  a 
mile  was  not  a  requirement  for 
tennis,  John  Lea,  was  one  of  the 
many  that  joined  the  tennis 
team  at  the  last  second. 


the  matches  were  played 
together.  This  involved  much 
travelling  on  VERY  crowded 
vans  and  very  long  hours  of 
watching  others  play.  One 
Saturday,  two  matches  were 
played  back  to  back,  starting 
at  9  a.m.  and  ending  at  9 
p.m.. 

The  members  of  the 


women's  tennis  team  Seniors 
Christy  Ross  and  Mandie  Cory 
Krueger  and  Alan  Slaten,  and 
Freshmen  Nate  Baughman  and 
Charles  Fox.  The  Most 
Improved  Award  was  given  to 
Christy  Ross  and  Alan  Slaten, 
and  the  Most  Valuable  Player 
was  awarded  to  Melinda 
Snead  and  Daniel  Johnson. 
With  a  little  more  time 
and  practice,  hopefully  the 
tennis  program  at  Bryan  will 
continue  to  expand  and  to 
improve.  Althought  the  record 
does  not  indicate  a  wonderful 
season,  it  was  encouraging  to 
see  the  wealth  of  potential 
talent  in  a  strong  class  of 
freshmen  female  lions.  More 
importantly,  however,  the 
team  had  a  great  attitude  and  a 
willingness  to  try  their  best  in 
all  circumstances.  If  nothing 
else,  they  had  alot  of  fun  and  a 
lot  of  laughs.

THERE  TO  HERE 

Lion  Cagers  Post  Impressive  Turnaround 
Season  With  A  Wealth  Of  Talent  and  Seniors 


If  you  were  to  look  at  the 
Bryan  basketball  season  of 
last  year(5-27),  the  prospects 
for  winning  even  half  the 
scheduled  games  in  1995 
were  very  bleak.  This  year, 
however,  turned  out  to  be  a 
very  exciting  year  in  the 
history  of  Lion  hoops. 

Coach  Morris  Michalski 
was  understandably  very 
excited  to  get  the  season 
under  way.  Last  summer  he 
was  able  to  sign  6'  10"  Senior 
Jeff  Vandemark—  a  transfer 
from  Division  I  school, 
Western  Carolina.  Teamed 
with  the  "tower"  in  the 
middle  was  phenom  returner 
Mark  Pack.  Healthy  and 
prepared  to  achieve  Ail- 
American  status  again,  Mark 
was  at  the  top  of  of  his  game 
entering  the  season.  The 
supporting  cast  to  this  won- 
der-duo was  as  equally  gifted 
and  athletic.  Seniors  Paul 
Uquhart,  Jason  Martinez, 
Clay  Causey,  John  Spears, 


^-  Showing  the  face  of  a 
Bryan  Lion,  Senior  John  Spears 
looks  to  make  another  amazing 
play-  John  was  considered  a 
leader  by  all  his  teammates 

and  Shawn  Hill  were  top 
performers  to  watch  through- 
out the  entire  season. 

Backed  by  Assistant 
Student  Coach  John 
Stonestreet,  Michalski  started 
the  high  octane  offense  by 
releasing  the  Lions  to  run  and 
shoot  at  will.  The  team  ran 
into  a  few  speed  bumps  when 
they  relaxed  on  defense  or 
stood  by  to  watch  the  Pack 


show.  The  regular  season 
appeared  to  be  the  time  when 
the  team  would  finally  gel 
heading  into  the  playoffs. 
The  Lions  were  honored  to  be 
invited  to  both  the  NAIA 
qualifiers  and  the  NCCAA 
National  Tournament;  how- 
ever, Bryan  was  only  able  to 
achieve  a  dissapointing 
postseason  record  of  2-4. 
Overall,  they  recorded  2 1 
wins  and  1 7  losses. 

Highlights  of  the  season 
were  Mark  Pack's  record- 
breaking  22 1  three-point 
baskets,  and  his  individual 
stellar  game  of  13  treys. 
Vandemark  and  Pack  both 
look  to  play  at  the  next  level 
this  coming  year. 

Some  would  feel  that  the 
1995  Lions  underachieved,  but 
this  team  marked  Michalski 's 
first  team  that  he  could  claim 
as  completely  his  own.  This 
season  was  the  start  of  some- 
thing great.

UILDING  BLOCKS 

Determined  lady  lions  fight  through  season 
with  endurance,  character,  and  bryan  pride 


If  you  were  to  look  at  the 
Bryan  women's  basketball 
season  of  this  year(6-21),  you 
would  probably  think  that  it 
was  a  misprint  or  the  men's 
record  from  last  year.  But 
beyond  the  numbers  and  all 
the  statistics,  this  years'  team 
showed  incredible  talent 
behind  the  losses.  The  Lady 
Lions'  distinctives  this  year 
were  youth  and  endurance. 

Coached  by  Camille 
Ratledge  and  Assistant  Jeri 
Beck,  the  team  was  largely 
made  up  of  underclassmen. 
Inspiration  and  direction  was 
for  the  younger  players  was 
found  in  Seniors  Maria  Smith 
and  Traci  Dotterer.  Traci's 
never-say-die  attitude  under 
the  basket  along  with  Maria's 
unrelenting  defensive  pres- 
sure and  enthusiastic  hustle 
helped  build  the  character  and 
trademark  of  the  1995  Lady 
Lions. 

The  team's  determina- 
tion and  heart  was  evident 


>*■"-*  Leading  the  team  for  the 
second  year  in  a  row,  Junior 
Emily  Mayo  controlled  the  floor 
with  ease  and  athleticism  at  the 
point-guard  position. 

when  the  Lions  were  able  to 
beat  two  of  the  NAIA's  best 
women's  basketball  teams. 
The  Lions  upset  Milligan 
College  and  perrenial  favorite 
King  College—  teams  thought 
to  be  out  of  their  reach, 
according  to  the  statistics. 
These  kind  of  results  have  left 
expectant  fans  anticipating 
what  next  season  will  hold.  If 
the  men's  turnaround  season 


is  any  indication  of  what  the 
women  will  do  next  year  than 
the  women's  basketball  pro- 
gram is  in  for  a  treat. 

Talent  is  definitely  not  in 
short  demand.  With  expert 
ball-handler,  Junior  Emily 
Mayo  returning  with  two 
seasons  of  point  guard  experi 
ence,  the  Lions  will  most 
likely  excel.  The  entire  team 
will  be  more  mature  and  will 
have  gained  the  leadership 
qualities  necessary  for  a 
TVAC  Championship.  Fresh- 
men Marty  Manor  and  Andre; 
Simmons  were  also  bright 
recruiting  spots  for  Coach 
Ratledge. 

Despite  the  evidence 
showing  a  discouraging  and 
disapointing  season,  the 
valuable  lessons  learned  in 
1995  will  be  applied  towards 
the  1 996  season.  Look  for  the 
Lady  Lions  to  be  on  top  of  the 
league  standings  next  year.

Sophomore  Kristin  Kocher  as  she 
yells  for  the  Lion  soccer  team 


AUSING  AN  UPROAR 

Bryan  Cheerleaders  Commit  Themselves  To 
Spurring  Another  Successful  Season 


"It's  great-to-be-a  Bryan 
Lion!!"  This  was  one  of  the 
many  ways  the  Bryan  cheerlead- 
ers got  the  crowd  enthusiastic  at 
sports  events.  The  cheerleaders 
were  dedicated  in  being  at  every 
home  soccer  and  basketball 
game  and  even  attending  some 
away  games.  When  the  crowd 
was  quiet,  their  job  was  to  get 
them  on  their  feet  and  into  the 
game. 

Although  they  many 
times  do  not  get  much  recogni- 
tion, the  cheerleaders  put  in 
many  long  hours  working  on 
cheers  and  routines.  They 
performed  several  halftime 
shows  for  the  crowd  which  took 
a  lot  of  time  and  effort. 

This  group  of  spirit  leaders 
faced  many  challenges  including 
yelling  and  cheering  when  the 
score  looked  fairly  hopeless, 
remaining  enthusiastic  when  the 
crowd  was  dwindling,  and 
dodging  mud  puddles  and  mud 
balls  on  the  soccer  field!   But 
the  cheerleaders  toughed  it  out 
and  had  a  successful  season. 


^  Lifting  the  crowd  to  their 
feet,  Ed  Campbell  caused 
excitement  at  numerous 
occassions  and  athletic  events 
with  his  own  enthusiasm. 

Despite  some  opinions 
that  cheerleaders  don't  do 
much,  they  do  a  lot  of  things 
that  go  unnoticed  by  everyone 
except  the  teams.  The  cheer- 
leaders sent  encouraging  notes 
and  little  gifts  to  the  players  on 
game  days  just  to  encourage  the 
them. 

A  special  surprise  for  all 
Bryan  fans  came  in  the  middle 
of  the  basketball  season  when 


Ed  "just  call  me  Ed"  Campbell 
made  a  unexpected  cameo 
appearance  for  several  games. 
Undaunted  by  the  large  basket 
ball  crowds  Ed  fearlessly  exhil 
ited  Bryan  Spirit  at  its  peak. 
Loyal  Bryan  fans  were  disap- 
pointed when  Ed  no  longer 
graced  the  sidelines  of  Summe 
Gymnasium.  Ed  joined  Brad 
Johnson  as  the  only  two  male 
cheerleaders  on  a  squad  that  w 
packed  with  talent 

At  the  Athletic  Banquet 
their  sponsor,  Lisa  Davis, 
awarded  Captain  Tracy  Stone  1 
Most  Valuable  Cheerleader. 
Tracy  was  also  involved  in 
Drama  Production  and  Triangl 
which  added  to  her  already  bu; 
athletic  schedule.  Many  of  the 
cheerleaders  also  carried  other 
responsibilities  and  were  heavi 
involved  in  Bryan  life  besides 
fulfilling  their  role  as  Lion 
cheerleaders.  Their  smiles  and 
cheers  made  everyone  want  to 
shout,  "It's  great-to-be-a  Bryar 

Lion."

CLASS     ACT 

Intramural  athletes  releive  stress  and 
compete  for  the  pride  of  their  class 


When  Bryan  College 
Intramurals  started  in  the  fall, 
class  relations  became  some- 
what strained.  Worn-out 
cleats,  old  football  jerseys, 
and  tough  looking  faces  were 
put  on  by  anyone  who  partici- 
pated in  flag  football.  During 
the  winter  athletes  put  on 
their  sneakers  and  hit  the 
hardwood  at  Summers' 
Gymnasium  for  bragging 
rights  to  the  basketball  crown. 
And  as  leaves  started  turning 
green,  racket  strings  were 
tightened,  and  the  tennis 
courts  were  filled  to  capacity. 
While  there  was  a  lull  in  the 
action  outside,  the  billiards 
title  was  fought  on  the  felt 
and  ping  pong  players 
paddled  furiously  in  the 
Lion's  Den. 

Predictably,  the 
Seniors'  talk  was  much 
louder  than  anything  they 
could  actually  accomplish. 
They  managed  to  show  some 
dominance  in  football,  but 
they  faltered  near  the  end  of 
the  intramural  season  on  the 
gridiron. 

Apparently,  their  lack 
of  team  unity  carried  over 
into  the  basketball  season 


>^  Assuming  Intramural 
duties  as  well  as  coaching  the 
women's  volleyball  team,  Coach 
Jeri  Beck  looks  on  as  the 
Sophomores  win  again. 

where  the  Sophomores 
displayed  an  amazing  aerial 
show  of  dazzling  dunks  and 
flurry  of  three-point  baskets 
that  destroyed  every  class 
team.  Standouts  for  the 
Sophomore  basketball  team 
were  John  "The  General" 
Stonestreet,  Jess  "Get  These" 
Dantice,  and  Tim  "Dunkin' 
Fool"  Lien. 

Tennis  was  another 
matter,  however.  Troy 
"Agassi"  Orndoff  seemed  to 
be  on  track  to  win  the  indi- 


vidual tennis  title  when  Felipe 
"Loco"  Arias,  came  strong  am 
derailed  him.  Orndoff  re- 
deemed himself  with  Stacy 
Lanning  as  they  tornadoed 
through  the  mixed  doubles 
tournament.  Orndoff  was 
overheard  saying  that  the 
tournament  was  like  "a  walk 
in  the  park".  In  women's 
tennis,  Tracy  Stone  wrapped 
up  the  women's  tennis  title 
quite  handily. 

Billiards  was  won  with 
authority  by  Mark  "The 
Shark"  Wages.  Unfortunately 
for  Mark,  there  was  no  money 
riding  on  it—  only  class  pride. 

Coach  Jeri  Beck 
headed  up  the  organization  of 
all  the  teams  and  refereeing. 
She  promoted  the  general 
attitude  of  intramurals  by 
having  a  word  of  prayer 
before  every  event. 

All  in  all,  intramurals 
allowed  every  class  member  tc 
show  some  spirit  in  a  little 
different  way.  The  spirit  of 
intramurals  was  really  quite 
fun  when  everyone  decided 
not  to  take  themselves  or  the 
activities  too  seriously.

THE    THRILL    OF   VICTORY: 

Bryan's  soccer  team  beat  Tennes- 
see Tempie  and  earned  a  trip  to 
the  national  tournament  this  year. 
One  season  later  the  basketball 
team  was  also  play-off  bound. 
Both  teams  failed  to  advance  past 
the  first  round  of  the  national  com- 
petition. Andre  Agassi  entered  the 
U.S.  Open  unseeded  and  walked 
away  with  top  honors.  The  Canon 
(Image  is  everything)  EOS  Rebel 
spokesman  cropped  his  long  locks 
almost  immediately  after  the  win, 
to  please  actress/girlfriend  Brooke 
Sheilds.

More  to  cheer  about:  Pro  Football 
and  Basketball  each  add  two  teams 


The  NFL  has  hit  the  big  30  (No,  not  in 
years,  in  size).  Starting  in  August  of  1 995, 
there  will  be  five  teams  in  every  one  of  the 
three  conferences  in  both  NFC  and  AFC. 

The  decision  for  two  expansion  fran- 
chises was  made  by  the  board  of  direc- 
tors. Two  more  feline  mascots  and  logos 
will  enter  the  NFL  market.  Jacksonville  Jag- 
uars will  join  the  AFC  Central.  They  will 
play  in  the  newly  remodelled  "Swamp"  sta- 
dium that  has  hosted  many  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Florida  games  in  years  past. 

The  Carolina  Panthers  will  get  a 
tougher  schedule  in  the  NFC  West.  One  of- 
the  teams  that  they  will  have  to  face  twice 
next  season  will  be  defending  Super  Bowl 
champions,  the  San  Francisco  49ers.  The 
Panthers  will  spend  their  rookie  year  on 
the  Turf  at  Clemson,  the  third  largest  sta- 
dium in  the  nation  (Yes,  Vols  fans,  it  is 
smaller  than  Neiland  Stadium).  Eventually, 
the  team  will  move  to  their  permanent 
home  in  Charlotte,  where  a  new  stadium, 
which  will  seat  over  70,000  people,  is  cur- 
rently under  construction. 

As  more  teams  are  added,  and  a  cleci- 


HEADLINE  MAKERS:  San  Francisco

Super  Bowl  touchdowns  with  6.  And  Michael

sion  is  made  as  to  which  division  each  wi 
play  in,  the  old  geographic  names  see( 
more  and  more  far-fetched.  Atlanta,  Can 
lina  and  New  Orleans  are  all  in  the  NF 
West.  Even  with  third  grade  map-readin 
skills  this  makes  no  sense.  But  traditio 
seems  to  win  out  over  logic.  There  doe 
not  seem  to  be  any  move  afoot  to  chang 
either  the  teams  or  the  names. 

Pro  basketball  is  also  having  growin 
pains  in  a  more  northerly  and  decided 
Un-American  direction.  The  Toronto  Ra|

he  can  help  his  team,  the  Raptors,  wil 
good  draft  picks  and  careful  trades.  Th> 
mas  has  a  piece  of  the  action  in  Toron

and  that's  all 

i  have  to  say 

about  that.

STRIKE!  Major  league  baseball  players 
walked  out  of  the  1994  season:  no  play- 
offs, No  World  Series  (for  the  first  time  since 
1  904)  and  almost  no  spring  training.  Play- 
ers and  owners  reached  an  agreement 
about  salary  caps  after  nearly  10  months 
of  negoitiations.  Disrguntled  fans  threat- 
ened to  strike  and  attendence  was  low  for 
the  beginning  of  the  1995  season.

For  most  college  players,  the  end  of  their  senior 
season  marks  the  end  of  the  their  basketball 
careers.  The  smaller  the  school,  the  smaller  a

Closing 


escending  the  heights  of 

Bryan  Hill,  we  leave  with 
a  new  perspective  that  enables  us 
to  live  a  life  with  Christ  Above  All. 


Our  excitement  lies  not  in  ridding 
ourselves  of  Bryan,  but  being  ready 
to  experience  everything  God  has 
to  offer  us  in  his  specific  plan  for 
our  lives. 

Many  of  us  came  as  children, 
just  out  of  high  school,  and  just  as 
immature,  discovering  parts  of 
ouselves,  who  God  really  is,  and 
learning  to  live  peaceably  with  oth- 
ers. Here  at  Bryan  we  began  to 
grow-  really  grow,  and  we  began 
to  see  a  different  world. 

So  now  we  relish  all  the  experi- 
ences we  have  had,  and  we  begin 
to  see  how  much  fun  God's  plan 
really  is,  even  those  long  nights 
seem  far  away,  and  the  tears  shed 


over  relationships  and  failures  don't 
even  seem  so  bad.  The  challenge, 
now,  is  not  to  always  look  back,  but 
continue  forward,  occasionally 
glancing  back  to  see  the  progress 
and  the  planning,  and  the  purpose. 
How  can  we  know,  now,  what 
our  four  years  here  has  really 
meant?  More  schooling,  lifemates, 
careers,  and  families--  everyone 
going  their  seperate  ways.  Which- 
ever path  the  Lord  brings  you  on, 
just  remember-  at  one  time... 


YOU 


Continuing  to  walk  with  Christ  Above  All  when  leaving  Bryan 
Hill  is  a  challenge  for  all  students  (left)-  in  relationships,  our 
Christian  worldvievv,  and  our  ongoing  enjoyment  of  God"s 
plan  and  the  victory  in  our  lives  (above).

FIRST-TIME  BUYERS  ARE  FINALLY  GETTING 
THE  RECEPTION  THEY  DESERVE. 


It  used  to  be  hard  for  first-time  buyers  to  get  attention.  But  things  have  changed.  In  fact,  these  days, 
you  may  find  that  you're  able  to  negotiate  a  better  price  on  your  purchase  and  a  better  interest  rate  on 
your  mortgage  just  because  you  are  a  first-time  buyer. 

Why?  Since  you're  not  selling  one  house  to  buy  another,  your  transaction  is  simpler  and  more  likely  to 
be  concluded  without  problems.  These  days,  that's  quite  appealing  to  sellers  and  lenders.  For  more 
information,  count  on  the  support  you  get  at  Coldwell  Banker.  We'd  welcome  your  call  at  any  time.
