The Unforgettable Journey
Student Leadership '94
The cars were packed. The truck loaded. The shuttle bus rockin'. The stage was set tor the
leadership Retreat of 1994. Destination: Awenda Provincial Park, Penetanguishene, ON.
Towards the rocky and serene shores of Georgian Bay the Leadership Team travelled, full
ote.xpectations, excitement, and, of course, energy. The days ahead were full of promise and
sunshine (we hoped). We were not disappointed, well except for the sunshine part but we'll
N.ivethat story for a rainy day I With the camp set up and the retreat underway, the team experienced a wide
range of activities. Whether it was preparing the meals, having to scrape up a sample of animal droppings
tor Cherilyn's scavenger hunt, suttering through Rick's punishing game of "Exodus", or singing around the
campfire, this year's leadership team was treated to two days of fun, relaxation, and, most importantly,
spiritual guidance. It was a time for OBC's student leaders and Community Life staff to form a bond with
one another and with the Lord before a busy and stressful year, and to leam the importance of working as

From The Familiar To The
Unknown, a FwsIi Perspective
Leaving behind the funky tartan,
t'lddle music, and nules ot tann land of
Cape Breton and heading towards the tall
buildings, crazy traffic, and smog of
Toronto was pretty scan, . However, when
I amved at OBC. it was almost as scary.
Strange people, people wanting all my
monev and happy, insane people in purple
shins bopping around. After signing about
a hundred chl-cks and gi\ ing away all my v/-,
money, and them bolting up what seemed jj"
to be a about a million stairs. I found my
dorm, mv roommate, and my RA. The most
comforting thing I saw was a ton ot other
people looking almost as lost and as scared
as I felt.
When I look back on that tirst day
and also that first week at OBC. it makes me
laugh. Those crazy people in purple shirts
turned out to be great. They worked hard to
help us. showed us around, helped us feel at
home, and worked hard to plan a great week
offun and memories. A trip to the "wet
and cold" Centre Island where, when
you left, you either had pneumonia or
really dirty feet from geese droppings.
First time and fast rides on the subway,
trips downtown Toronto wandering
aimlessly looking for Kensington
Market, roaming around Queen St.. losing
people, running to people's aid on the street,
seeing the sights, and going to Canada's
Wonderland praying that we wouldn't die
on the roUercoasters. Line ups on
registration day. and of course the hardest
baule of all - trying to stay awake. The
things that I think were the most productive
were the praisefests and the ravine walk,
where you could feel the unity of this group
of people.
Orientation week was fun but the I
best parts were the friends we have made '
and how quickly we became like family.
Frosh. upperclass, staff and faculty coming
together with one main goal - God. This
family and these friends we will have
lorever.
"From Him the whole body,
joined and held together by every
supporting ligament, grows and builds
itself up in love, as each part does its

Students: Being Open and Honest
about Themselves
Candids — What exactly
are those pictures anyway? Well,
according to Mr. Noiih Webster,
a candid is a descnptive word
that means "frankly truthful
even if the truth is unpleasant:
honest, open." So a picture that
I-. .1 candid IS one that shows a
person (in the case of the
yearbook, a student) who is
letting his or her true personality.
Many of the pictures in
this edition are of the candid
nature. You will find all sorts of
interesting shots of students as
they show their true colors here
in the halls of OBC. And who
could forget those exciting
outings'?
Many thanks to those who
were able to get all those
amazing candids.

"I can do all things through
Christ who gives me
strength" was the verse I
claimed as I entered OBC.
Graduation then was only a
dream; now it's reality and
with God's strength, I did it
My prayer now is that God
will "instruct me and teach
me in the way I should go".

He called a little child and had him
stand among them And he said: "1
tell you the truth, unless you
change and become like little
children, you will not enter the
kingdom of heaven. Therefore,
whoever humbles himself like this
little child is the greatest in the
kingdom of heaven.
"And whoever welcomes a little

Thanks to the staff and

Their support and friendliness is
appreciated by all the students.
The faculty has helped in
challenging us all to grow closer
to Christ. They have been
approachable and open-minded
to their students. Without their
direction and leading, we would
all be where we began. They have
been an awesome example and
have encouraged us all to do our
best academically as well as
spiritually.
As for the staff, they've
done a lot to make our life
comfortable. Maintenance has
done a great job in making
residence life fun. We sometimes
take advantage of them in that we
forget to thank them for the small
"fix it" sessions they do in the
dorms. You guys are great and we
love you!
Bookstore and Campus

immensely this year and have
pro\ided great services for us
students. Thanks for your
continuous hospitality!
From Enrollment
Services and the Registrar's
Office to the Business Office,
they've put up with many
complaints and questions. Your
doors have been open for us
students and you have been very
approachable. Thanks!
And to all of those people
who do thankless jobs, we
appreciate the ministry you have
in this school. Without you, the
school would not run smoothly.
God bless you all!

"A Graduate's View"
OBC. what's thai ' W hen I first arrived at this school, my first
reaction was unc ot absolute horror. 1 had no idea why I was here and
\s ho the teachers were. So. as a lost student. 1 went about asking other
older students who this teacher was and what he/she was like. The
responses 1 received only served to strengthen my frightened mind.
Now, as 1 look back over the last four year a.s I graduate. I
luneslly can not think ot a more AWESOME group of people to have
IS tnends and family than the faculty and staff of OBC.
They were a constant source of encouragement and love, canng
people who were not afraid to confront (carefronii when necessary.
People who were vast vaults of knowledge (sometimes, not the
knowledge that you were looking for but knowledge that challenged
you to grow ). To you. the Faculty & Staff of OBC. we. the graduates,
of 1994-95 applaud the time and effon you have given us to help mould
us into the men and women that Chnst Jesus wants us to be. Our
gratitude and thanks go with you as we leave to step out on our own

Have you seen yourself in
these pages? Maybe you have
seen yourself in a ver>' interesting
situation, and wonder "How did
John get that picture?"
Well, inresponcetoihat. I
would like you to think back over
the last couple of months and
remember when there was a
camera trained on you. Yes. your
fellow roomies. They have
continuously donated photos to
my cause. That is to capture the
real, uncensored edition of the
typical OBC student, staff, or
faculty member. Though, we do
censor some photos, to produce
an accurate representation of life
at OBC. we are not beyond
croping the photo to suit our
purposes. So. if you happen to .see
something in the book that you
remember to be very revealing but
IS cropped to suit the book, you
can thank your domimates for
that photos. Some of my
photographers to thank would be
Natasha Gascho. Melanie
Joseph, Tracey Ross. Andy
Nagel, Danielle Lamarche,
Robin Bailey, Jen Dyett, and
many more. LOOKOUT!! Some
of them will be around next year!

"Adds a Little Spice to Life at OBC!"
Take ot't'to the Great White Noiih, eh I Yessiree- Bob. we are definitely one "strange brew", but we sure know
how to partee. Be warned, however, before venturing onto our floor: You might run into Fariborz in the hallway
swinging a sledgehammer and wearing women's clothing adorned with fragmentation grenades while singing
"Allahu Akhar" (If you do. take a hint - run for your life!).
Yes. Life, contrary to what you may have heard, is what 3rd Floor is all about. Our lives are in constant flux,
brimming o\er with many theology sessions, jam sessions, cram sessions, depressions, obsessions, regressions,
digressions and, sometimes, indigestions. Our days are full, our nights are full, our stomachs are full ( thanks to
2-for- 1 pizza). Yes. quite honestly. .^ North is the spice of life: Obnoxious yet courteous, friendly yet arrogant, selflsh
yet sensitive. We are, in all humility, the best. Incorrigible, indestructible, impassible, indomitable - No other words
do us full justice. Indeed, we are just too deep for words.
Yet, in all our diversity and complexity, if there is one remaining constant, it is our age (average 33). We
are .seriously serious guys whose favourite pastime is to know the One "in whom we live, move, and have our being."
So if you young-uns want to learn a thing or two about life, about theology, come visit us. ..Otherwise, take off. eh!!!

In our i|uest to keep Christ "central " in our own lives, we discovered that ^

the Nlll. were overK>oking.)
While baseball and hockev continued their stubborn wavs. leniral
established themselves as "Canada's Team" through donimaling the Hag
lootball season. Tremendous support and encouragement \sas displayed
by the entire dorm Irom each player right through to Krankie our
"porsonal trainer", John our "photographer", .Alex our "statistician",
and Rohm our "Head coach'". Thanks guys for an incredible season.
Central once again upheld its proud tradition of the football field.
Centrals theme of "Keepinj; Christ Central" pemieated ever>
aspect of life in the donii. Whether it was marathon prayer rallies in the
lounge. Christ-like attitudes on the football field, or uplifting and
encouraging one another in our everyday conversations. Central
accomplished their goal through establishing a community centered on
Christ. From the beginning of Frosh week lo the end of exams in Apr

The Awesome Happenings of 4 South
To South.
What can be said to best describe you. the men o' south? Well, there's always the stereos. That seemed to be
the prerequisite. Much wattage in order to belong. Even so, everyone found themselves cranking the volume, trying
to listen to their own stereo over Matt and Todd's state of the art. 5{)()0+++ watt, librap, rockin. sound system. South
Quiet?? We were not!
Then there were those great morning bonding times. A cup of hot coffee, a chocolate chip cookie, and lots of
goss...uh. spiritually stimulating, envigorating rich, deep conversation in Don and Ed's room.
Late night talks. Pass the guitar ( you mean everyone doesn't play one'^) and sing us a song. It all happened in
the south lounge. Would someone please clean up that microwave!?! "It's just not right! It shouldn't be that way!"
Then, there was football!
On the field we were graceful, we were dominant, we were powerful, we came and took over... Alright, we ran around
trying to confuse the opposition with plays that didn't
even make sense to us. Anyone figure out where the flats
are? I wish the Q.B. did.
We prayed together, we laughed together, we prayed
and laughed together, at the same time that is. The men
of south w ere men committed to prayer and the search of
a deeper relationship with the one who brought them
together. They grew in favour with God and with the
other dorms.
Secret Saint Weeks, concerts of prayer, joint prayer
meetings, donn dates, cheering from the sidelines,
catacombs. If one word could describe our sisters it
would have to be.. .Awesome. Thank you for all your
support, your encouragement and your love.
South was what it has always been and more. It was
a place to belong, a place to share, even a place to disagree. A place where unity went beyond conformity and explored
the realm of indiviualit).
Each one of you has contributed to making our year an unforgettable one. You have played a part in writing
memories in our hearts. We pray that many v<, ill linger v\ ilth you.
Someday we'll all sit together, laugh, and say. ..remember when?
We love you guys!

Life at OBC is... an
experience!
Being a frosh and living
in dorm, you never want to
miss out on anything. There is
always lots to talk about, laugh
about and cry about with
friends. Loud music is often
heard through the halls and
w indows, and you hardly ever
get any sleep. If you want to
procastinate, the Kat is the
place to be; playing pool and
hanging out with friends.
Chapels and singing are great
ways to get together and
worship God. The most
important things though are the
memories iind friendships tliat
will last a lifetime and the
learning and strengthening of
our personal relationship with
God that will last forever!

Food? Any substance
which by a process of metabolism,
a living organism can convert into
fresh tissue, energy . etc. or a solid
substance eaten for nurishment.
e.g. chefs surprise (breaded veal
or Rataloloui, or whatever that is )
or as Webster explains,
"something which can be put to
constructive use (the meatloaf m
relation to a brick)." I wonder it
Webster every ate at the OBC
catcleria. 1 The ever had the chance
to eat here, he would definiteh
want to change this definition. In
all respect, we should be grateful
to Beaver Foods for the meals
which they so faithfuih supph us
each day.
"Hey, Eugene, pass the
salad. Mmmmmml Thiscrunchie
stuff in the salad tastes amazing.
Any idea what it is?"
"Do you reeaally want to

No. seriously, it's a family tradition!
You lift up (he right leg and wave the

The OBC experience develops much more than just our
minds. It builds on the talents we've been given and
encourages us to be all that God calls us to be.
Unfortunately, it seems to have no affect on fashion.
I don't care what it takes. I'm going lo get in every picture
in this yearbook. I love these Katimavik parties!
How could anyone say no to such beautiful, caring,
friendly, innocent children-Ooops! I'm sonry, women
of God?
Listen. I'm smiling for the picture, but I'd appreciate
it if you'd keeps your hands to yourself.
I'm not sure 1 like the methtxis of transpotation in Cape
Breton. Are you sure all the guys do this there'.'
The secrets we keep are txiund to catch up with us Hope

Men's Basketball
Team
Good day and welcome to a paragraph
in the lite of the Ontario Bible College
Swordsmen Basketball team. This was a stellar
year, a year ot truly ludicrous proportions. This
year saw the Swordsmen beat the very tlrst
American team that they have ever beaten
throughout theur long and sordid history. We
were witness to a display of an enormous
reser\oir of coaching prowess. The team itself
performed beyond any reasonable
expectations. It was the dawn of a new era in
politics and commerce. Peace ruled
throughout the many lands of this great
planet, and we had the Ontario Bible College
Swordsmen Basketball team to thank for it. Life
was grand.
Is any of this true? Heck, how should I
know? It's only December. Yearbooks are
swell.

Women's Basketball
Team
"Let us run the race with perseverance."
The Ladies Basketball team has certainly put
this year's theme verse well into practice. They
have put off all that hinders ( ?the boys?) when
it comes to practice time. These women have
shown an incredible amount of dedication and
intense effort to the game of basketball.
Detennination to play impeccably, practice
intensely and socialize immensely has led this
team to an all-round success in the game of
basketball. This year's frosh recruitment could
not have been better! ! You ladies truly were an
asset. Lorna and Rose, our graduating heroes-
Thanks! It has been a great three years.
Graham, we couldn't have done it without your
help. Thanks for putting up with us. Great work.
Team ! Thanks for the incredible effort and the
beautiful reflections you each are.

QBC Swordsmen
Hockey Team
Hockey is far more than a sport; it's
a way of life for those who play the game.
The Swordsmen hockey team is filled
with players who "live" the game. At the
beginning of this year, we decided notto
play in a league, but rather to play in a
number oftoumaments throughout the
season. Our team consists of players
from OBC and OTS, both residents and
those from out of domi. Our goal for the
sean was to have fun, win or lose, and
have fun we did ! As coach, I would like
to congratulate all the players on their
excellent effort this season and wish them
God's blessings for the seasons to come.

Ah! 1994-95 -The year
in Sports. Well, what can be
said? Really - What can be
said? Hmmmm! Yes!! Flag ■
football started things off with I
a BANG! With the Big Bad
Central machine rolling
through the season undefeated
and winning the
championships, stopping South
in its quest for a 4-PEAT.
Floor hockey was a
tremendous success, though it
is only January and the draft, let
alone the season, hasn't even Jonbeekmgs
.started yet. But I'm sure it will | Male Social Convenor
be great.
In the lovely field of
varsity sports, OBC proved that it is a force second to none in
the OCCAC. Men's volleyball is poised to win back-to-back
titles and in basketball, only one team stands between the Big
Men of the court and a title - themselves. One of the most
talented and deepest teams in the history of OBC hoops also
became the first team to defeat an American team, defeating
two of them on the way to a third place finish at the Wagner
Classic in Washington, D.C. In Hockey, there hasn't been
much to report as all of their games occur after this is due, but
I'm sure they will do well.
Well, it has been an excellent year in sports at OBC.
Thanks to all the coaches and people who helped out making
1994-95 the best year in sports at OBC.
This past year in the wide world of sports has been
one to remember! OurLadies' Intramural Volleyball league
evolved into a touch football league. From there, we moved
into Floor Hockey season. As you can see, the interests of
our Swords women are as varied as the ladies who played!
A special word of thanks to my partner Jon who helped out
whenever he could.
As for our varsity teams, we have amazing coaches
with dedicated team players. Our Ladies' Varsity
Volleyball team have awesomely dug and spiked their way
through a very impressive season. As for our
S wordswomen Basketball team, we have left an impressive
sense of pride with whose who have seen the games.
Congratulations to both varsity teams and their coaches for
a very successful season.
Being the Female Sports
Convenor this year was a
great privilege. I would not
have been able to do it
without the help of Steve
Wilson and many students.
Throughout the year, our
ladies have displayed
competitive sportsmanship
with positive attitudes which
bring glory to God. May we
continue to be ambassadors
for Christ no matter where

Rah, Rah.Sis-Boom-Bah!
Does OBC have any school spint.
you ask. I would think so! This
book full of memories for years to
come should pro\e that to any
would-be reader. Though the
pictures in this book may not show
tlag waving or painted faces, in our
school colors, the Spirit of OBC
has never been stronger. The
student body is dedicated to
making their time here one full of
joys, tears, laughing and crying,
times of worship and prayer and
times of play ing in the mud and the
snow. Do we have school spirit !*
YesSir-Ree.Bob!
If you ever have had the
chance to talk with our own Mr.
Spirit, he would most likely
respond with, "Yep, Yep, We have
spirit..."
Thank you to you the
students who have provided a
thrilling year of excitement and
spirit here at OBC. Remember to
always...
BETRLIETOYOURSCHOOL!
The OBC Spirit lives on!!

over the baton to someone else. I'm not saying
that I won't miss producing the yearbook, no

As I wached the hook come together over

took alot of time. Then it hit me. .."to have
.uwiething that they can look back on and .say I
did that. I helped produce this book".
This book, our year in memories far
surpassed those done in the past years. To an
.4 WESOME staff, to an A WESOME job.

CELEBRATING A CENTURY
97
CELEBRATING OUR HERITAGE
This is our Centennial Year!
It may be said that one
hundred year old
institutions are unusual but
they aie not rare. What is
rare is a one hundred year
old institution that has
remained faithful to the
Biblical principles upon
which it was founded.
In North America, and
especially in the north-
eastern United States, most
of the centres of higher
learning, including
Princeton. Yale and
Harvard, were founded as
Christian universities
which would train students
for ministry. Ontario Bible
College began with a
similar purpose.
In his book Canadian
Evangelicalism in the
Twentieth Century, John G.
Stackhouse, Jr, says,
'Toronto Bible College
arose out of the
evangelicalism
characteristic of Ontario in
the late nineteenth century."
98
In writing the story of
Ontario Bible College,
Author Al vyn Austin points
out that Toronto was a city
where 99% of the
population claimed to have
a religious preference and
where the local newspaper,
The Daily Mail, (now The
Globe and Mail) ran a
contest to boost its sales by
having readers vote for the
most popular preacher of
the day.
The spires of the Anglican,
Roman Catholic and
Methodist Churches not
only dominated the city's
skyline, but the churches
themselves had a direct
effect upon the religious,
moral and spiritual life of
the city.
It is upon the canvas of this
background that we paint
the picture of the
establishing of the Toronto
Bible Training School. The
architect of the plan was
Rev. Elmore Harris,
Minister of the Walmer
Road Baptist Church. He
was an heir of the Harris
family of Brantford who
had merged their
prosperous farm
implement company with
another company owned by
the Massey family of
Newcastle, to form
Canada's internationally
known farm implement
company, Massey-Harris.
Elmore Harris was bom in
1854 and was a graduate of
the University of Toronto.
Rev. Harris built the Bloor
Street Baptist Church
(which later became
Yorkminster Church)
largely with his own money.
In 1889, he built Walmer
Road Baptist Church. His
congregation included
many prominent and
influential citizens of
Toronto as well as a number
of professors from the U. of
T. and McMaster
University, the Baptist
seminary, at the comer of
St. George and Bloor
Streets.
Elmore Harris believed that
God was leading him to
establish a Bible training
school in lortMiltv II was
evident to him thai Toronto
did not need another
seminars as there were
already: Knox College
(Presbyterian). Victoria
University (Methodist),
Trinity College (High
Anglican), and W\clitTe
College (Low Anglican) on
the University of Toronto
campus.
However, these seminaries
were training ministers and
pulpit preachers who were
studying at the university
level. This left a gap as
women were not admitted
and many young men could
not allonl a uni\ersity
education. The Bible
liaining scln>ol uouKI fill
this niche.
()nMa\ 14lli IS^M.Llmore
Harris iiuited twelve
leading business people and
clergy to his home where he
laid before them his
"Prospectus of the Torontt)
Bible Training School".
This small group was bound
together by a shared vision
of the need for a place to
train laity in knowledge of
the Scriptures and by a
common commitment to
make that vision a reality.
Classes bee an in the
Walmer Roail Church in
September of that \ ear.
The first class graduated in
1896.
One hundred years later we
look back on a Idiil: and
distinguishetl historx for
which \\ e are grateful.
Toronto Bible Training
School has over the years
seen a long line of devoted
followers of Christ come
year after year to prepare U )r
the work of the kingdom.
From our present vantage
point we are able to look
back and s e c l h e
faithfulness of God in
preserving that original
vision.
