Hay Day

CBt made numorous changes in 1999-2000,from the new faces to the new chapel time. There were many new students'faces to learn.

Sophomore Tami Caron. a resident of Bruce Hall,thought that "all the new girls were great."

Chapel time moved from Tuesday and Thursday at8:30am to Monday and Wednesday at 12:25pm. The change helped students stay alert and allowed another class period to be added to the schedule, on Tuesday and Thursday.

s...

Parking presented an interesting problem early in the year. Students were no longer allowed to park on the streets adjoining the campus.

■fl! m,

However,the administration saved the day by permitting parking any where on the campus. In addition. First Church of the Nazarene offered to let students park in their lot. Some students,such as Shane LeWallen decided to "park on the grassfrom now on,"

I.-'

Personnel changes occured throughout the campus in the music department, admissions, student services, athletics and even new dorm

parents in both Bruce and Williams Halls, The changes in faculty and staff as well as the ever-changing student body, only serve to make things more interesting and bring new and exciting experiences to CBC,

CollGgG lifG had hit. and you found yourself waking up in the morning and hitting the "snooze" button more than three times and your pockets were empty. It was a pretty good bet that you were finally a full-fledged college stueent.

After a long summer offun in the sun it was time to hit the books again. But,just because classes had begun did not mean the fun was over.

Students were looking forward to many new activities this year. Mary Ann Daily said."I'm really excited this year because i"m going to get to live offcampus, but I'm really going to miss Bruce Hall".

This year got off to a big start when CBC students divided into "families" and played games such as Family Feud and drove all over Conway on a scavenger hunt. Students also got involved in Aquamania and intramural Softball.

Both now and returning came to CBCfor many different reasons. Freshman Joey Henson said one ofthe things ho was looking forward to was "getting to meet new people". Whereas Chad Stephenson said."Girls Rockl School is the best part of my year". It really did not matter the reason students we're coming to school. Most students chose to attend CBC to grow closer to God. Coming to Central Baptist College, whether it was your first year or your fifth, it was sure to be a great experience. While students were at CBC they were sure to meet many new friends and were sure to grow both spiritually and academically.

On fiQptQmbQr. 1999 CBC fitudcnts and staff gatharod around the flag pole in front of the Cooper Complex, in honor of "See You at the Pole." Breakfast was served before the prayer began and it helped sleepy eyes to begin to open. The

prayer was for the nation, the schools, our school and for one another, fiophmore Jackie Bullock said."God's presence was definitely felt." It's amazing what God will do when Christians realize the power of prayer and unite to pray to gether.

Freshman Hilari Bradley noted."It was a real spiritual experience getting to pray with a group of people your own age."

Last but certainly not least. Adam Thomas said."I enjoyed being in the small groups and being able to hear the needs of people in my group. It was nice to know that I wasn't alone in my own needs with God." "fiee You at the Pole" was a chance for fellow students to gather, bond and share their personal concerns through

prayer. It was certainly proven that prayer may be taken out of the schools, but students not only at a Christian school like CBC but all over the nation, took a stand by praying at the pole.

When you think offall timQ at CBC you may think of Fall Hay Day.Sabina's cafotoria decorations or holding hands with your choice ofthe week o Bruce Hall's front porch. But ask any 2W/0 member, past or present, what she thinks of and she'll respond."I think of Harvest Party-it's THE event of the yearl" Plans for Harvest Party begin at the beginning of the Fall semester. Since it's fiWO's goal to out do last year's pa and keep the friendly competi tion going with the fiMO-sponsored Spring Fling,fund raisers were first on the list. This year there were slave and desert auctions.

Once November rolled around and tickets were perchased and t-shirts were ordered,the final touches were put on the big party. SM/0 and even some members ofSMO stayed up 'til the wee hours of Friday morning decorating to make sure the day's events would be as perfect as possible.

After the traditional walk down the stairs, everyone went to the dining hall for Harvest Party to begin. The entire dining hall had been trans formed into a castle. We had stepped back into the days of chivalry. Brother Smiley said."SWO always does a greatjobat Harvest Party, but thi^ year they outdid themselves." After entertainment from the Arkansas Rep. and TWIRP awards wore given, everyone went off to do their own thing.

Almost emeryone was highly impressed with the efforts ofSWO."This year's Harvest Party was very well planned and a lot of hard work was put into it. I was very impressed with SWO; however. Spring Fling is right around the corner."

YÂŤ It is with some feeling of accomplishment that the sophomores began the year. No longer were they the newcomers on campus. They had endured a year, but that is not quite true. They had enjoyed a year and were now ready to take their place as seasoned veterans. Ready now to help the incoming freshmen find their way.

The helpful attitude of the sophomores made the transition to college life easier for the fresh men. They did their part to see that everyone made the arljustment to college life.

As the year neared the end it was a bittersweet time. For many their time at CBC was over.

They would be transferring to another school to continue their education. As they said goodby it seemed as if we were saying goodby to our best friends, because we were. Thanleyou CBC.

t High school graduation seperatod dear friends as each went to begin his or her own life. The move to college was a little frightening because it was necessary to make new friends. For the students who found their way to CBt this transition was a little bit easier. As Ali Chambers put it."you make good Christian friends here that will last forever."

When registration began August 21. the freshmen met Bro. Jeff in the Toland Worship Center for orienta tion. Not one student really knew any of the others-yet. Each student was assigned a family led by an RA and an Impact Team member. The familys played ice-breaker games. "Family Feud" and competed in a scavenger hunt. These families also provided freshmen with a guranted place to sit at lunch. By the time classes started on August 23, the freshmen class had already formed a bond. Life-long friendships had began to form.

' (: .. '

Hanging out on campus is another way to get to know people. "Being on campus exposes you to a wide variety of people-you get to know everyone." Laura Gilchrist reflected. Gome students have an ulterior motive to

\,iiiiii D.iik-v

time."

■M lo llu' I oi'd...

When classes started it was fun to watch the freshmen ease into the "CBC experience." They had learned the most important thing about making friends^ust be yourself. Aaron Dailey agrees. "Making friends is easy if you'lljust be yourself. Just do the bull dance, feel the flow, work it...work it."

thoir"gotting to know you" plans. They not only wanted friends, they wanted dates. When Fletcher Abram was asked about this he said, "All the girls are CBC are sweet. They're like tulips that blossom in the spring

music at Fall Hay Day. Most students jumped right in to the thing."

fvn If onQ can't preach, teach. Weil, those are at least two of the majors at CBC. The four year Bible degrees included both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of ficience with emphasis in Pastoral studies. Missions. Religious Education. Youth Ministries and Church Music. If students did not m^or in a religious-related field, they were able to persue the basics by seeking the Associates of Arts degree. "My major is Education, but it changes so many times. I have to think about what my major is when someone asks." said Ccott Reddin. â&#x153;&#x201C;

Concentrations in music, business, general education, math and office administration, as well as other special majors, trained students to serve in all areas of society. Christian counseling was also a new Bachelors degree at CBC. Stu dents who were undecided about a m^or,tried to remember,two to four years were only suggested time limits. Junior Megan Wilson said."My major is Religious Education, emphasis in children's ministry. I am very excited that the Lord wants to use me to teach children about all He has done for them."

Academics is a m^or part of college life. Writing reports is not the highlight of any college student's day and life.

Many may not like to do them, but they have learned to deal with them and move on. When asked how she felt about writing reports Melanie Vogelgesang said,"Dr. Mitchell's classes are the first classes that I've ever looked forward to

doing papers in because they help me make not so good grades look better." Most students would not agree with Melanie's statement. Another student, Bonnie Altland was asked the same question and she replied,"I don't really like doing reports, but I think they're a good way to learn how to do research and find out more about a topic you usually wouldn't study."

Each teacher sems to have their own style for writing a report. Students must adjust to each teacher's individual style.

When Laura Gilchrist was asked how she felt about doing reports she said,"Doing reports is like doing laundry, it's something that you don't like to do, but it has to bo done."

W/hat ifi so groat about tho studont and faculty rolationships at Central Baptist College? The advisors were more than mentors and teachers; the students developed friendships with them. Every student at CBC agrees that the teachers were always there for them when they needed prayer or theyjust wanted to have fun.

Freshman Jeremy Lawson said,"I think we have very awesome teachers at CBC. In fact. Brother Cmiley on several occasions has invited many of his students into his home to hang out." Along with having students over to'spend time at his home. Brother Smiley helped the year to start enthusiastically. He participated in playing Family Fued with the

student family groups, the first week of school. He also got "wet n' wild" in the dunking booth during Aqua Mania.

In CBC's Christian atmosphere, not only did the teachers help students with homework,they were available when students had personal problems. They always had a listening ear and a kind word.

Sophmore ficott Reddin said,"Dr. Mitchell rocksl Ho is very intelligent and encourages students to research and find things out on their own instead of accepting what they have been told."

It was hard to choose a favorite teacher, because they were all so great. Junior Linda Taylor said,"Our advisors are always there with their door open. You can talk to them about anything, notjust academics. You're notjust a number at CBC,every teacher knows your name and face." fitudent-Faculty relatioships at CBC? "Awesome!"

fio, you have survived CBC.? You have played it, you have slept it. you have even tasted it.

Ask yourself, have you "experienced" it? Central Baptist College required students to take at least one Bible class per year. This is an advantage students had here over other colleges or universities. On the other hand, some students felt that this was forced upon them: but what could they do? As Dr. Mitchell said,"Are you going to explain to God that Bible class was so boring youjust had to sleep." He told students they should not con sider Bible asjust another class. They could take what was learned in Bible and apply it to their everyday lives. Whether students attended CBC for sports,friends, or family, God had a plan from the beginning. Receiving a good Christian education here at CBC could only help them accomplish more in their lives. Thank God for CBC.

SGA is made up of ofFicers from each organization on campus, plus at-Iarge members elected by the SCA from the student body. The fiGA sponsored many events this year,from Fall Hay Day, to a Twila Paris concert, to Homecoming

events. They also sponsored off-campus events such as Broomball and a visit to Qonway Fun Park, fhe organization also gave to the community through events such as the Angel Tree party. This year there was a record mumber partici pating at every event.

Dean of Students Jeff Riddle, who worked with the SGA, said, "I believe SGA has expanded with the help of Jeremy Franklin as student activity director. I am excited about this addition to our staff." Jeremy Franklin is also the Dorm Dad for William's Hall.

SGA was led by President Danny Smith. He said,"SGA provides lots of opportunities for students to get involved that] they may otherwise not have. I feel priviledged to be a part of this organization."

We are blessed to have an SGA that worked hard to provide a year like no other. ^1^

Oswre^ocXy K tif-f-TT-* WkCfcg Who knows what SOS stands for on campus? No, it's not a distress call from a sinking ship. It stands for**Student Outreach Services, and its name implies exactly what it is. Headed up this year by Jalyn Longly. SOS's main goal was to get CBC students more involved in the community. As Christians one of our purposes is giving, whether it be emo tionally. physically,financially or spiritually. As college students we may not be able to give financially but most of us have an abundance of one thing: TIME. "Working on events such as the Blood Drive and the Heart Walk enabled me to become a more community minded person." Melanie Vogelgesang reported.

College students have plenty of time to help tutor a child in school, visit an older person in a nursing home, or even

spendjust a few hours a week with a child who doesn't have a role model at home. If students didn't get anything else out of their "CBC experience" by being involved in fiOfi they learned to stand up and be counted.

P) What is so big about 2.C.O.? WqII, the percentage of the student body it makes up. There are more people,commuting

than living in the dorms. 'Home sick' was never in their vocabulary. Few knew the silence on a Saturday afternoon on the Central Baptist campus. Few knew the sound of a radiator in the dorm screaming at the top of its mechanical lungs, The commuters go to go home everyday, instead of waiting for the weekends or holidays. The commuters were still invited to the events that the school had to offer for fun. Amanda Meeks explained,"Even thoughl am a commuter, I

still got to go to all the activities and have as many friends as if I lived on campus." 2.C.O. often held meetings to '} discuss business and keep the commuters up to date. "We get pizza every now and then," Jason Smith pointed| out.

A

fi.C.O. meetings sometimes supplied pizza for the members.

This organization also did secret sisters and secret brothers. Robbie Brock paid his secret sister for the fall semester a complement,"I had a very great Christian sister. It's great to have her support during the semester."

I Amy Brock is the fi.C.O. president, Robbie Brock served as vice-president and Matt Johnson as secretary. They had meetings at Mr.fimiley's apartment.

There are many student extracurricular activities at Central Baptist College. SMO is one that allows the guys on campus to develop a more personal relationship with each other and

with God. "When people think of SMO they immediately think of Spring Fling. SMO and Spring Fling go together like peanut butter and Jelly. They are a natural fit." say's Danny Smith.

Guy aren't the only ones that participate in SMO. Melanie Vogelgesang and Mira Middleton said,"We wanted to bridge

the gap between SMO and SWO,so we decided tojoin. Chris Ramsey said we are honorary members. SMO is now our favorite organization."

Chamber workshop will always be a highlight ofthis year at Central Baptist College. Bro Henry fimiley commented.

.T On August 26, 1999, tho CBC Mustang Volleyball team started practicing for their first game. This was only the second season that CBC. had witnessed.

The team members were Pam hiegel, Amanda Meeks, Brittany Adams, Andrea Brewer,

Amy fichafer, Nikki Hamhy, Rachel fihults, Paige Dickinson and Mindi Drady. This group

put a lot of hard work and dedication into representing CBC. Rusty Kennedy coached the girls and Heather Pancr assisted.

There was a good fan turnout at the home games, CBC was proud to support them. Laura Gilchrist stated,"Volleyball was very exciting. The girls showed an excellent team effort."

Traveling to away games gave the girls a lot of time to form a bond as a team. Adrea Brewer commented that she, "had fun this year, especially the road trips. It was cool getting to know all the other girls."

While they never had a winning season. Coach Kennedy remarked,"The girls played ex tremely hard and their record did not reflect how good they really were. I'm proud to have coached such a groat group of girls. They represented CBC very well for a second year program."

This was a difficulf year for the Men's Basketball Team having to

.-iff.-:-. ■

overcome many problems. There were times when it looked like we

m

might not be able to field a team, but the guys were always in it and always played their hearts out.

Head Coach Rusty Kennedy, a former Mustang player and a graduate of Bartlesville Wesleyan College, did a greatjob of keeping the team focused when things were rough. Coach Kennedy eryoyed building strong interpersonal relationships with all of the players. Through the season he learned to never underestimate the players heart and drive to compete. M/hen asked if the season was a sucess Coach

Kennedy said,"Dealing with all the adversities they were a success.

On the court they were a success,for what they had." Kennedy's favorite game was at Kimper Military College. The players bonded and played the best game ever.

Pay attention! Coach Kennedy sends in a play. Students enjoyed having Coach on campus.

Pokemon, Japan's cuddly cartoon critters, became one of the most popular trends in 1999, creating a frenzy for

children of all ages with toys, video games, comic books, trading cards and a feature film. The animated "pocket monsters" also invaded television with a weekly cartoon series. The Pokemon franchise exploded with more than $6 billion in soles worldwide, making it even more

profitable than the entire video gome industry.

A ferry carrying 336 passengers caught fire, broke up and capsized in the frigid waters off the eastern coast

-

of China in November, killing more than 200 people. The maritime disaster, China's worst in more than a

decade, was caused by gale-force winds that created 16-foot waves in

near-freezing conditions. Officials reported that about half of those who perished died when they leapt from the ferry into the icy waters.

The bulk of the 16th Century was known as the Elizabethan Era, named as such in honor of England's Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I. Daughter of Henry VIII, Elizabeth ascended the throne in 1558. Described as a supremely skilled diplomat, who was pragmatic as well as being a visionary, Elizabeth's 45-year span as Queen of England was one marked by stability, growth and spectacu lar achievement.

The Columbine High School football team won Colorado's Class 5A state championship in December, bringing triumph to a school mired in tragedy. The 21-14 win over Cherry Creek High School came just eight months after the April 20 .m

massacre, in which two seniors at the Littleton school killed 12 students and a teacher before

committing suicide. Although the heartache of the tragic event will likely never subside, the gridiron

success gave many in the school and community

solace as they tried to put the pieces of their lives back together.

Sixty to 70 students were working to assemble the logs for the bonfire when the structure, standing 45 feet tall, collapsed. The bonfire, a school tradition dating bock to 1909, was scheduled on the eve of Texas A&M's annual football game against its arch-rival, the University of Texas. An emotional tribute to the 12 fallen students was held during halftime of the game, which Texas A&M went on to win.

In the early 1500s, scientific scholars still held to the idea that the universe was geocentric, with a stationary Earth placed at the center of several concentric, rotating spheres, each contain ing either a single planet, the sun or all the stars. For Niclas Copernicus, that theory did not odd up. Shortly before his death in 1543, Copernicus published his argument, contending that the universe was heliocentric, with the stars and planets revolving around the sun.

Pope Gregory XIII commissioned a new calendar in 1582 to make up for lost time. The lost time was attributed to an imperfection in Julius Caesar's original calendar, which was instituted in 46 B.C. Caesar's calendar left 11 minutes unac
