Highlighting their evening isthe time Bonnie Lamberth and Mark Kendall share in Bible study

n Ideal Date? It would begin with that special someone whose friendship with the Lord is intimate and meaningful, not with the person who feels itnecessary to spiritualize everything One needs to feel free to be himself, whatever that may involve; whether that be in dialogue, in actions, or even in silence

The conversation needs to be constructive and beneficial, such that flows with ideas and creativity without needing to be pushed along.

During the time that a couple is together it'sgreat to do something different from routine There needs tobeatimeof relaxation from the hustle and bustle of classes ...atime ofreminiscing forgotten ideas and memories that somehow got blocked out by the books ... a time to share heartaches andjoysaround a campfire atime tolaugh and torunandto fall down while chasing afrisbee atime to concentrate and marvel while listening to a violin soloist a time to enjoy sharing arelationship with aspecial friend, whatever the activities might be Most of all itshould be a time to learn from another how to exemplify Christ more effectively in one's daily life.

HIGH SPIRITS

I I tall started on Monday with "Reverse Courtesy ||=l= Day" That meant that everything guys normally ~ ~'' did for girls (or should have done), the girlsdid for the guys The girls didn't seem to mind opening doors orcarryingbookstoomuch;but it surewas hard toletguys on busesfirst, especially if thatmeant thepolitegirls might not get on atall

"Clash Day" was the day when those who could never figureout what went withwhat could relaxand feelright at home. Everything was seen from a Saddle Oxford and a TennisShoe toguyswithseven tiesofassorted colors,none of which even remotely matched.

Of course thefansof Happy Days would have no trouble recognizing "50'sDay" forwhat it was- atimeofgood oldfashioned fun

The highlight of Spirit Week and Homecoming was the Miss Liberty Pageant Karen Morrison, Miss USA-1974, co-hosted the pageant with our Student Body President, DanielHenderson From 24 contestants, fivefinalists were chosen Jane and Kim Renas brought the special music Just before the winner was announced, Mary Lowry sang "We have this Moment" Then withadrum roll in thebackground and the excitment building, the announcement was made: Runners-up were Angie Elwell and Becky Taylor; and Miss Liberty of 1978 was Faith Donley of Mycrstown, Pennsylvania

LUS (Powerful Living through Unified Students) was a studentoriented inspirational service initiated by the Student Government Association Theconcept ofPLUS was based upon the premise that the most effective change must come from "within" the student body.

The purpose ofPLUS was tobring spiritual revival toLBCby allowing students tohear their peers tell of their love anddevotion for Christ by means of testimony, song, andthe sharingof

various talents This also allowed a greater number ofstudents to become actively involved by using their Godgiven abilities inministering tothe needs of others PLUS emphasized such topics as prayer, daily devotions, and a simulated Communist takeover of America

PLUS added up tobe a great spiritual catalyst for the student body, enriching the lives ofthose whoattended as well asthose who participated

ihe more formal concerts this year were grouped into an Artist Series. These performances featured internationally renowned professional singers. Although non-students had to purchase tickets, these concerts were well attended by many people from around the Lynchburg area.

Robert Hale and Dean Wilder opened the series in November. Hale, a Metropolitan Opera star,and Wilder, Director of Vocal Studies at William Jewel College,brought a delightful evening of classical music, humor, and sacred selections

The highlight of the year, and certainly of the series,came in January as the internationally famous Vienna Choir Boys performed It was one of the most outstanding fine arts performances that Lynchburg had seen in years.Over a thousand tickets were sold to residents of Lynchburg alone. The concert provided a tremendous outreach for the college and itspublic relations The audience listened intently as the boys performed classical,folk,and religious music along with a mini-operetta entitled Tales from the Vienna Woods.

SX LSI

or the second year at LBC, sacred concerts were organized in a special series to provide inspiration and Christian entertainment for the students.

Each of these five concerts brought an informal evening of relaxation and fun as professional recording artists performed.

The first of the series began in September with "Eternity," a 17member vocal and instrumental ensemble from Hollywood, Florida They brought the house down with their medley on the Second Coming

"Renaissance," a trio from Taylor, Michigan, was the second concert. Everyone enjoyed the brother,sister, and cousin, especially as they did a guitar-picking number entitled "Stand By Me."

February brought "His Ambassadors" back to LBC for the second time Students enjoyed hearing the 13-member vocal and instrumental group from New Jersey perform once again

Kay Dekalb, formerly Miss Alabama Teenager,came in March forthefourth concert in the series She had spent two years with Opryland USA and also had traveled with Anita Bryant A capable comedienne, Kay impersonated Alfalfa of Little Rascals. Itwas humorous yet inspiring as she sang "God Talks to Boys While They're Fishing."

The last of the concerts was performed in April as Bruce Heffner, a soloist and trumpeter, came to LBC. He hasbeen known asone oftheforemost gospel trumpeters and has traveled throughout the country performing

Students appreciated this year's series, because itoften provided a delightful weekend night with good Christian fellowship.

t has been said that a week of classes islike aclothesline, and the chapel servicesarelike thepolessupporting both ends andthe center Strength is drawn from these services just asDr Guillermin said, "Chapel isthepowerhouse ofthe school."

Ifone walked into chapel servicehe would feel the unity of the student body as they joined in music andworship

The students were often privilegedto hear outstanding musicians and speakers, many being from their ownfacultyand student body

During the course ofthe year students attended chapel in three different locations While the gymwasstill under construction, they met in a massive crusade tent on the school grounds

Second semester, while final touches were being made onthe gym, students were "chauffeured" tothe TRBC auditorium ontheir favorite green buses

By March the gymwas completedand chapel moved back tothe mountain to itspermanent location

Although each chapel service was of special interest for the students,a few stand out most vividly Merrill Womach gave histestimony andsang; Tom Maharis communicated hisvibrant love for Jesus and hisvision toreach NewYork City; Moody Adams warned the studentsof witchcraft, referring tohisown experiences; the LBC Singers encouraged many before exam time with their humorous skits andinspiring songs; Don Norman sang andtold ofexperiences that have strengthened hislife;andthe preacher boys, in the sermon contest, challenged the students from the Word of God These areafewamong many inspirational servicesthataided in thedailylivesofthe students Indeed Dr Guillermin was correct when hesaid, "Chapel isthe powerhouse oftheschool."

The evening was filled with wonder, and after a fine dinner, "Moore and Moore" presented an enjoyable program ofmusic,followed by the powerful speaker, Charles "Tremendous" Jones. Truly itwasa night to remember, just like an oldfashioned Christmas.

Then winter wasover, andspring had arrived atlast.Romance filled the air asstudents prepared themselves for "Springtime In Italy." One student even began preparing for the Spring Banquet six months in advance John Olsen, a licensed pilot ofsingle-engined aircraft, decided that he andhis date, Jan Rowe, would fly toRoanoke for the banquet John andJanalso flew Carey Soud with Debbie Nelsonand Tim Heider with Mary Lynne Chubb to the Roanoke Airport Once there, they rented aCougar XR7 and traveled in style tothe Civic Center wherethe banquet wasbeing held.

At the banquet, the three couples, along with many others, enjoyed a delectable dinner ofsteakand

spaghetti. Following the buffet, the internationally known Palermo Brothers brought an evening ofentertainment, climaxed by an account of their visit toCommunist Poland.

For John andthe others with him, returning toLynchburg meant atrip back tothe Roanoke Airport and a pleasant plane ride home. It was like returning from a springtime spentin Italy

=J radition and innovation mingled on the playbill of campus productions performed by the Drama Department this year. A type of play new to LBC, as well as an annual produced play, was the output of the Department's efforts

The student body was united in their enthusiasm over the fallproduction of As You LikeIt, LBC's first attempt at Shakespeare Although the Fine Arts Building was stilluncompleted, the cast was persistent intheir efforts,and played allthree nights to a packed house in the cafeteria.

Mrs Helen R Lloyd, adrama professorat LBC, wrote and directed Calvary, the annual Passion Play Male Drama StudentoftheYear, David Zick, portrayed Jesus for the fourth consecutive year One week after the campus performance, the large cast,the crew, and the sets traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina, where they presented thedrama in alocal church on Eastermorning

There was a special quality which set these two campus plays apart from the other plays put out under the Drama Department: Campus plays gave students who weren't normally involved with the Department opportunities to become involved in drama Many Home Economics students,for example, helped in the area of costume construction, while the Wrestling team made a large contribution to the Calvary cast New friendships were begun and a close unity was achieved from the cross section of the student body that participated

BAND FRONT

hat's this? Has something else new been added? This year not only brought new uniforms for the band, but a Flag Corps and Rifle Squad as well.

Cathy Babrick, Captain of the "Band Front," envisioned and originated the Drill Teams for thefirst time this year. Having seven years experience from high school and college,Cathy, under the advisory of Mrs. Joan Flewell,directed the team in making their own uniforms and worked with the band in developing the team's routines

Patience and hard work were the keys to their obvious success The team not only had to practice regularly with the marching band, but also every evening on their own Cathy said the practice times,getting things togetherwiththeband, were"intense."

The Drill Teams marched with the Band at allthe home football games and in the parades

"Sing aloud unto God our strength:make a joyfulnoise unto the God ofJacob."

The instruments are a dead give away that these are no ordinary spectators as Nancy Meckstroth and Kent Rockwell of the Pep Band generate excitement at an LBC Basketball game

STEPPIN-OUT IN STYLE . . .

"Impressive . . . Exciting . . . Something tobe proud of ... A great testimony insound and appearance. "

LBC Students

hese adjectives were only touches of the student body reactions to this year's marching band Mr Ray Locy, director, stated in regard to the band, "This band has been by far the best in the history of the school."

The unique feature was the new uniforms In the midst of flashing red, white, and blue,the music and the marching brought excitation and pageantry to halftime.

Itwas evident that the band worked hard They practiced about nine hours a week and the morning before each game One band member described the practice," tedious and nerve racking There was much hard work, and ittook devotion; yet the rewards were great."

The band performed at six home games and the Pulaski and Lynchburg parades They also had a great experience playing at the Anti-ERA rallyin Richmond

The Marching Band also goesincognito as the Concert Band and Pep Band As the Concert Band, they performed Christmas and Spring concerts for the student body The Pep Band played at the basketball games, Pep Rallies,and PLUS Meetings

The greatest work SMITE accOmplishes isin the individual student Through "action experience" each student isguided todetermine where God would usehimOrher in the most effective way AsDale Peterson stafed, "to every instance,theyare missionaries while they arestudents at LBC*'%hey ate literally going into allthe.world-to pireach:the gospel.

The Internationals were a group of veteran SMITE members underthe direction ofDoug Achilles.The team traveled mainly with Roscoe Brewer, and, like the other teams, they ministered tochurches within the U.S. on weekends Close to 100churches received the Internationals thisyear The highpoint oftheiractivity occured during the Christmas break, when they hadthe opportunity to be part ofa 30-day effort tohelp 120,000 refugees awaiting relocation in Thailand Thestudents prepared a Christmas meal for 27,000 people, gave out 40,000 toys tochildren, and 10,000 blankets tothe adults. Bibles,gospel tracts,andgospel music were also presented in their native language Thenext phase was to place the team on the Mercy Ship, TheBamboo Cross, in the South China Sea Thestudents worked to get the ship ready andthen launched outon itsmaiden voyage They distributed food, fuel,medicine, supplies,andBibles tothe refugees in the sea.Roscoe Brewer observed, "This was the firsttime we have ever been involved with theseed planting as opposed tothe harvesting."

This summer theInternationals were involved with the refugees again, relocating them toBoliva. They were also involved inaiding the distri- ' bution ofthousands ofBibles in the politically turbulent country ofRhodesia,which isbeing quickly overtaken by the communists.

SHARING TOGETHER.

. Falwell and Roscoe Brewer > wanted a missions emphasis brought toevery student

They felt that itwould be good for every student,regardless of his orhermajor, tovisitaneffective mission. Because most students never have thec experience missions and donot haveatrue concept ofmissionaries, the Student Foreign Exposure Program was created Dave Pantana, director of the program, explained that the purpose was "to broaden their view and thinking concerning Christianity, to teach them tobecome world Christians." Theprogram strives to answer the question: "could Iserve God in a country other thanthe United States?" Once a student experiences another culture, feels the opposition to the Gospel, and observes a successful missionary endeavor, hemayuse his talents in serving abroad. Notmany people realize that many skills are needed on the: mission field This exposure gives students a chance realistically to assess their abilities in termsof the world's needs. '••;-

PROGRAM

Over 200 students were involved this year in the countries ofMexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica,Haiti, the Dominican Republic,andEl Salvador InMaythe students traveled to Northwest Canada, where they participated in Garlan Cofield's work.InMarch agroup ofLBC faculty went to Haiti

Although the trips were not primarily evangelistic,the students were involved with Bible andtract distribution InGuatemala over 5000 Gospel tracts andover 100 Gospelsof John were distributed. Students also witnessed opposition tothe Gospelin Mexico, where 5000 Gospelsof John were confiscated. In Guatemala students were able toview witchcraft services held in a cave Lives can truly bechanged as a result ofthiskind ofexposure. Mr. Pantana recalled one girlwho had surrendered togoback to Haiti to work among children; another couple has also applied toStrategic Baptist Missions and plans togo out ascross-cultural evangelists

SMITE CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

hile serving asan active SMITE team member, Jan Euliss conceived the idea of a SMITE Children's Ministry

This year her concept was put into effect TheChildren's Ministrywas basically the same asSMITE's, only itwas limited tochildren This; ministry played a completely distinct role in the missions training at LBC

The Children's Ministry hada mission tothe local churches in the U.S. andtothe children ofthe world.For example, here at Thomas'JRpad' Baptist Church children asyoung as two years old were taught the needsof missions in the world Throughthe use of puppets,multi-media,and flannelgraphs these aims were achieved The

team also instructed adults in child evangelism

This year the team went to England with the Europen Team. There they held child evangelistic meetings. They visited public schools,presented their program, andinvited the childrento the 'Holiday Bible School' Jan Euliss explained that England was"ripe unto harvest asfar aschildren are concerned At the first meeting there were only 12children,but by theend of the week theattendance wasover 100. During this time 49 children were saved." Inaddition toanothertwo weeks spent inEngland this summer, the team worked with the primary day camp on Treasure Island

A TOTAL MINISTRY

"Musicianswho

-DirectorMr. DavidRandlett

he EnPsalms, an unusual and active ministry ofLBC, has had another year of action and growth along with prosperous results "The objective of the EnPsalms," said Mr Randlett, "is to produce trained musicians who can minister,not perform." Itis generally anunknown fact that the EnPsalms carried a total ministry to a different church every weekend.The team wold go inandassume responsibility for a church for the whole weekend and throughtheuseofmusic, preaching,multi-media,muppets, and workshops,the team would transmit the Gospel.Time andtime again, the church's people would beleftwith revived spirits.Teaching discipleship to the people ofthe church was the key. TheEnPsalms believed that the longer they were with the church, the more opportunitytheyhad toinfluence and lead the people. A typical weekend would consist ofa Saturday afternoon concert in a mall,a rally at the church that night,leading the church's Sunday School service with muppets and music,andthe church service with music andpreaching Sunday afternoons the team held workshops for allagegroups Sunday evening the

team performed the Greater isHe musical program.

One notable experience wasin a high school assembly inDetroit The school wassobaditwas nicknamed "the snake pit."Theteam was informed that they probably wouldn't be able tofinish their performance because when the students didn't enjoy a program they would bedisruptive oreven riot

However, besides receiving a standing ovation atthe endofthe program, they hadan excellent turn-out for the rally held thatnight

Each ofthe team members sought to bea testimony among the student body aswell asamong the people to whom they ministered. While maintaining high academic standards, the team hadtobe away on weekends and attend daily practice As Mr Randlett stated, "The group should be able tohold up both ends." Many times the team traveledall weekend, came inMonday morning and were expected tobein classes.

The work wasdemanding, yet the rewards were great With the promise of spiritual growth andmaturityin their ownChristian lives,theEnPsalms were able totake what they learned in school,andput itinto effect in an exciting,active,andrewarding ministry.

Director Randy Rebold

=^' lazing through the fortyeight continental United States andHawaii in approximately forty weeks, the LBC Singers held a total of over 300 concerts this year. Underthe supervision ofteam leader Ross Turner andhis wife Kathy, the Singers hit the road after a four week training camp andperformed in local churches, high school assemblies, civic clubs,shopping malls,prisons, and community -wide rallies

Presenting a ninety-minute concert ata different location each night involved thirty-two ofthe weeks they traveled. Theother weeks were utilized with week-long revivals

oriented crusades -a concept attempted this year for the firsttime, according toDirector Randy Rebold. Rebold wasenthusiastic about the new practice, stating that itbrought "phenomenal results- many people were saved, andothers had their hearts stirred andchallenged to revival." Weekdays during the rally weeks were spent holding children's clubs, teen rap sessions,andadult family seminars, while nights were takerr up with concerts followed bya short challange.

Dave Holdren, aswell asDr Ed Hindson, helped during the crusades in the area offamily lifeseminars. Also involved with the team was Mr. Al Seyler, who, accompanied byhis Wife Ardie, drove the Singer's bus.

Lynchburg-based Rebold,who travels part-time with the group, stated, "Icount ita personal privilege to beable to work with the team, and IgiveGod thegloryforalltheblessings

He has given toliterally thousandsof people asa result ofthis ministry."

SGA: Remodeling, Reformation . Revolution!

uccura

"SGA isa go-between. It'sa tool which binds together the administration and the students."

President Daniel Henderson

Amassive explosion occurred at LBC this year!Without the use of real dynamite,the Student Government Association went off like fireworks in a multitude of areas

"I definitely feel like the reputation of SGA has changed this year," said 1978-1979SGA President, DanielHenderson.

The sparks of this explosion began to be seen in the summer, when Henderson started work on an SGA constitution Itwas later approved by the administration and students and became LBC's firstSGA Constitution

"This year was distinctly defined for SGA," Henderson re-emphasized He citedsuchexamplesasoverturnsinthe basicorganizationand thedelegationof responsibilitiestocommitteesandother groups.

SGA was now divided into three parts. One part,the Executive Committee, was composed of the student body officers.The StudentSenate consisted of allthe class officers and was chaired by SGA Vice President Rick Scharmann, The finalthird was the StudentActivitiesCouncil, which contained elected representatives from each class.The House ofDelegates wasalsoformed asanauxiliarygovernmental enterprise of SGA.

Three main goals were listed which brought about the revolution The first was involvement- attempting to involve more students in SGA than ever be-

fore.This year,there were over 150 students directly involved "We're trying to make everybody a somebody," said Vice President Scharmann. He gave examples of the headway made towards grasping thisgoal,such as the student body meetings which displayed new studenttalent.

Stimulating leadership by givingstudents added opportunities to lead was thesecond goal. An SGA-spurred move towards this was the launching of the House ofDelegates.

The final goal,a very important one according to Henderson, was to promote unity "We can never reach the world without it,"he stressed Aiming in thisdirection,the SGA members began plans for an intra-campus radio station.

Aside from these goals, Henderson spoke of a vital aspect in which SGA became more involved this year: the sphere of student life. "SGA is a ministryofcreatinganatmosphereconducive to spiritual growth and victory," heexplained. "We wanttogetstudents on fire for the Lord!" They attempted to do thisthrough PLUS (Powerful Living Through Unified Students) This was a series of student-run meetings with a spiritualemphasis

"What we've started has to be continued," Henderson concluded,explaining,"It hinges on the right people -people who have the heartbeat."

"The House of Delegates is taking many individual,independent organizations and making them one."

-President Gary Aldridge

prouting out of SGA, a new organization appeared on campus this year called the House of Delegates. Two representatives from every recognized organization at LBC peopled this group, which was the brainchild of SGA President Daniel Henderson.It's main thrust,according to House of Delegates President Gary Aldridge, was "promoting the fact that although we're allfrom different groups and organizations,we attend the same school and can help fulfillit'sneeds."

To promote the first portion ofthis goal, the House began with itselfby promoting cooperation and understand-

ing among it'sown members At the bi-montly meetings, representatives took turns explaining the essence of their own group's ministries, sharing their concepts,blessings,and prayer requests One of the most important and unifying facets of these gatherings, according to one House member, was when the Representatives paired off and prayed with those of differentorganizations at the end of each meeting.

Along with the regular assemblies, the House promoted unity within itselfby a devotional prayer breakfast,afellowship luncheon held at Gramp's and Granny's, a Joint Session Dinner with the other branches of SGA, and a surprise end-of-the-year pizza party at Sal's.

Aldridge claimed,however,that the ultimate key to achieving unity within the student body came from "everyone's personal commitment to that goal." Therefore,the House encouraged students to join together in the attempt to carry out the second segment of the House's goal:thefulfillment of the school's needs They did this primarily by the House of Delegates drives In these, the House challenged students tocontribute to a "Penny Push",held in order to purchase a Christmas present of Dr Guillermin,as well as a "Dollar Drive", which enabled the House to buy a golf cart that made intra-campus mobility easier for handicapped students

C^UCCURE

THE KING'S PLAYERS WITNESS

"The purpose ofthis Christian drama group istocommunicate theGospel message inorder towinmen toChrist and tostrengthen the believer."

Ever hear of evangelism through drama? Have youheard asermon preached by a group of people instead ofby oneperson?"

These were thethought provoking questionsthat Dr. Mark B. Lloyd, manager of THE KING'S PLAYERS, posed while explaining theessenceof thisChristian drama group. Inorderto grasp thehearts oftheir audiences for Christ, THE KING'S PLAYERS at tempted an unusual approach:presenting theGospel message toboth ears and eyes They found thisaudio-visual approach remarkably effective Doublingin size and dividingintotwo outreach teams, THE KING'S PLAYERS were ambassadors for Christ in churches and schools throughoutthe year,aswell asministers attheir home base, LBC.

The "A" team, directed by Mrs Helen R Lloyd, traveled during weekends, Thanksgivingbreak, and thesummer of 1979 The summer tour was an eleven week journey inwhich theteam traversedtheUnitedStatesfrom eastto west and back Ministering oncampus, the group presented "Which Way"in thefall.

Traveling on weekends andduring Spring Break, the"B" team was directedby David Allison. Thisgroupalso presented a play for thestudent body entitled "Once To Die",which they performed inthespring semester

Everywhere THE KING'S PLAYERS ministered, people were surprised and then enthusiastic when theysaw that evangelism could be done through drama, and that a sermon could be preached by a group ofpeople instead of by oneperson.As Dr. Falwellsaid, after receiving many lettersfrom pastors pleased with this group's ministry, "I used tothink that drama couldn'tbe used - but THE KING'S PLAYERS have changed my mind."

Selah Gets Personal!

"The Yearbook isa 'Remembrance Book' Without it, so much can be forgotten With it,memories can be triggered. The Yearbook isabridgetothe past."

Editor-in-Chief Tony Mitchell

V toP'

^k Reflect.

^ ^ Consider

When combined, these expressions become themeaning of "SELAH", a Hebrew word used when the Psalmist desired his readers to pause and contemplate what he was trying to communicate This, according to Editor-in-Chief Tony Mitchell,was what the SELAH staff desired their readers to do:to pause in the present,reflect upon the past, and consider what has transpired

A three year veteran of the staff, Mitchell outlined a new philosophy which directed the book's production this year "We wanted to make the book more personal,distinct,and contemporary," he said

"Pumping in more candid photographs, using direct quotes,and zooming in on specific individuals were the methods used to accomplish thefirst part of that," said Mitchell. Elaborating on the objective of making the book more defined, he explained, "We

wanted to have a distinct personality, such as isfound in magazines." He noted the different characteristics which give each periodical it'sspecial style,and pointed out that the staff's efforts to follow this lead came in the form of incorporating unique graphic designs into certain sections.

To make the book more contemporary, they attempted to "talk about the events of now." Written portions of the book subsequently became more detailed "We wanted copy which would speak specifically about the eventsofthis particularyear- not copy thatreadslike every otheryear'scoverage," said Mitchell

Aside from the new philosophy, there were other factors which made the 1978 - 1979 SELAH staffunique There was a large influx of new staff members,and on thewhole, thisyear's group was more experienced than previous staffs.A new advisor was welcomed to the team -Lamar Keener, Director of Student Activities,had his firsttasteofyearbook production. "I've found thatthereis alot more toputting a yearbook together than most people know about," he said at year's end. "Now Ican really appreciate theefforts of a good staff."

The team got off on a winning foot slipping by a determined Bowie State defense 14-13. Charged up with this first victory,the players undertook a huge assignment in tackling GardnerWebb who had dealt LBC several strong setbacks in the past few years Surprised by the Flames enthusiasm and strong will,the Bulldogs found that they just couldn't get a jump on the Flames and finally settled for a 20-20 tie

Two games later,Roanoke's Victory Stadium provided the setting as the Flames were avenged of last year's defeat by Bridgewater This time the Eagles found the Flames too hot to handleastheywere burned 21-13 The nextweek it was two inarow for LBC as the offense exploded for 5 touchdowns enroute to a 34-28 victory over St Paul's

But the season stillhad one more game — Ferrum College Here was a team that had successfully handled LBC for four straight years, shutting them out in their last encounter. Then again,they were a consistent nationally-ranked team going into this game withatremendous record. Butfor LBC itwas Homecoming, and a recordbreaking crowd had filled the stadium hungry foraseason-ending victoryover the Panthers The team's momentum had been increasing allseason with experience rating a strong influence on the players The team had gained respect with the fans and excitment filled the air.Itwas like electricity. Someone wasoverheard saying, "Ifyou'd strikea match, this place would explode!"

And explode itdid! With the huge crowd in a frenzied uproar the Flames wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard. Time and timeagainthe officials pointed theirhandstotheskyasaseason high of 6 touchdowns were scored. The Flames had finally defeated Ferrum with a convincing 42-28 score.

There were reasonsforthemuch improved 1978 football team There was a strong team effort — dedication in practiceand determination onthefield But there were also some definite stand-outs on the team. Churchman's Ail-American recognized Rupert Wright, offensive guard, the first LBC player in history to named to thefirst team Other stand-outs were Greg Mosely,BestOffensiveBack; Rod Gladfelter,Best Defensive Back; Ed Landis, Best Defensive Lineman; Steve Kearns, BestReceiver; and Dave Anderson won the Coca-Cola Golden Helmet Award

But what isa team without coaches? These men provide the leadership and discipline and training necessary for winning Then there isone man who holds the highest position of responsibility — the Head Coach Churchman's All-American awarded LBC's Head Coach Tom Dowling as Small CollegeCoach ofthe Year for his "progress in building a strong football power at Liberty." He and the team made believers out of everybody.

ump! Slam! Spike! Serve!Set! Could itbe a fight scene from Batman and Robin, or maybe names ot a new TV game show? What it means isall part of an exciting sport at LBC. That sport isWomen's Volleyball. With a record of 15 wins and 6 losses, the Women's Volleyball team served up itsbest season ever. The "Lady Flames" played an outstanding game against Virginia Intermont. They came from a score of 6-14 to win the game and the match Another highlight was a split match with Radford College Itwas the Flames first time ever to beat them

But along with the enthusiasm that winning brings,the volleyball team suffered some disappointments Even though they outplayed Emory and Henry, near

Norm Maurer skies to block a shot against Bluefield

mor two years the Flames basketball team had been in a rebuilding process putting together the elements that would bring LBC a winning ballclub The newswriters were saying a third year would be necessary before a winning tradition could be established They saidtheFlames would be doingwell to win nine games But a determined team with a new coach wasn't listening. Midway through the season they reeled off a six game win streak (4 of them in just 6 days) to give them 10 wins, and it was only January 16.

The turnaround actually happened early in the season when the team travelled to Indiana for the 13th annual Taylor University Tournament Taylor had dominated the tourney with nine championships, and the Flames were considered the underdogs by a long shot Upsetting Marian College in the opening round by 1 point,the Flames gained the opportunity to play top-seeded Taylor With Taylor favored by 22 points,the Flames, as Coach Dale Gibson putit, ".. puttogetherthebestpureoffensive team execution of the year." Shooting a sizzling67 % from thefloorthey connected for a season high of 115 points crushing Taylor by 29 pointstowinthe tournament trophy. A total of 7 season highs were achieved in that game.

New Year's week took the team to another tournament, this time in South Carolina, where several NAIA powerhouses had met for the New Year's Classic Again distinct underdogs,the Flames battled strong Presbyterian College to a tie at the end of regulation time (Presbyterian had defeated LBC by 14 points earlier in the season.) Although Liberty came up short by 4 points in overtime, they had made a definite impression that LBC was to be respected. One night later they proved their strength again by defeating Wingate College 8480

The real fireworks of the season happened on LBC's home court (Jefferson Forest H.S.) on February 6 against Radford College Radford was boasting a 19 game winning streak and claims of being the best small college team in the state Even LBC had been avictim of their assaults when they lost an earlier game to them by 22 points

However, this time things were different The standswere jammed withscreaming fans demanding an upset The players were inspired and determined Excitement was at itspeak The game progressed "nip and tuck" with Radford never able to build any kind of advantage. As the seconds ticked away the tension mounted, yettheFlames never allowed thepressure to shake them.

Not To Be Taken Lightly cont.

Then late in the second half Radford finally reached an 8 point lead,largest of the game. Stillthe players didn't quit, and here Coach Gibson stated, "The sixth man took over." He was referring to the crowd that had literally exploded into a frenzy Radford went into a freeze to hold off the Flames,but the uproar of the crowd broke their concentration They couldn't hang onto the ball From there to the end of the game, LBC shot 12 times hitting 9 baskets. Vickers hit 5 in a row at one stretch as Liberty steadily cut away at the lead. Radford was rattled;few shots were falling;their streak was seriously threatened by a little Baptist school in Lynchburg.

With less than 90 seconds left,Liberty finally pulled even at 67 points.Victory was within reach, and the fans could taste it On their feet they cried with hoarse voicesforthedefensetogettheball back. They did By now a person couldn't see straightforthedin Withlessthanaminute on the clock they desperately needed points Freshman Maxie Wilkerson took a pass from Karl Hess getting fouled in the process stopping the clock at 30 seconds The crowd screamed, then quieted to an almost deathly stillness as Wilkerson went to the line.The attempt was good, and the stands literally shook with the explosion of triumphant screams as the Flames took the lead for the first time in the game.

Now a super-inspired defense took charge The fans,with one eye on the clock and one eye on the court, pleaded for the team to hold the lead A shot went up for Radford Hearts almost stopped as itlooked good, but coming itseemed from nowhere was Ed Vickers He charged with a heroic leap and slammed the ball out of bounds The fans revived instantly with a deafening roar 8 seconds showed on the clock

Again the defense was in command as the inbounds play for Radford was forced deep towards mid-court The lastditch shot fellshort of the mark as the clock ran out Liberty Baptist had upset Radford,snapping the state's longest winning streak Pandemonium broke loose everywhere as delirious fans rushed onto the court in celebration of the come-frombehind victory.

ed by the dynamic spiritual leadership of Coach Bob Bonheim the Flames Matmen capped a very successful season with an upset win over Virginia Tech. That meet put the National Champions final record at 12-1 in dual meets for the season Coach Bonheim credited the victory to two breaks "We won by forfeit at 126 lbs.,and then Tech's coach misjudged our heavyweight by sending their Number 2 man against Rueben Escobedo." Escobedo's pin won the match, the first team win ever against VPI

In the thirteen dual meets, LBC

competed against nine DivisonI schools, losing only to Southern Conference power, Appalachian State, who went on to take second intheir conference. LBC defeated allfour of the "Big Five" Universities in Virginia that they wrestled against.

Coach Bonheim stated that VPI and VMI were the toughest matches with James Madison and George Mason "...somewhat easierthan expected." He concluded, "When you consider that only four lettermen returned from last year's championship squad, we've had a surprisingly successful season."

Impressive Was The Word

mpressive wasthe word for many ofthestatisticsthat the Liberty Baptist College Baseball team boasted ofthis season At one time the Flames were 21-4, with winning streaks ofseven andeight games, andwere 6-1 against Division I schools. They defeated allbut one oi the teams they played against fromthe state ofVirginia Butmost impressive was winning the first sixteen games on their newbaseball field Added to this was thefactthatofthetotal28players, 19 were freshmen. To Coach Al Worthington andAssistant Coaches Curt Christians andBill Brown oneof the big factors ingetting the team together was the pre-season trip to Florida, which notonly gave the team a tan, but gave the coaches a chance to see whocould fillthe positions best, much before regular season While inFlorida the Flames were able to play nationally-ranked Southern Illinoisalso

O n The Right Track

St was ayearofvastimprovement for the1979 Liberty Baptist College Track team. In only itsthird year,theFlames went 9-1 in dualmeetsascompared toa 4-5 season in1978. And for the first time theTrack team was abletoholda home meet using E.C Glass High School's track asthe location

Coached by Jake Matthes,along with the assistance ofLCA Head FootballCoach Harry Betts, theFlames broke 22 records,testimony to the progressive quality achieved this year over the firsttwoseasons.As practice progressed Coach Matthes said, "It was exciting towatch a bunch of men molding together asa team, tosee the finished product." Thefinished product was a good onewith only oneloss in dual meets during the regular season, a first place in theNCCAA District II meet, andfinally,theultimate — The NCCAA National Track Championship!

any people were not aware that there was also a Women's Track team along with the Men's team. Doubling in size, the team showed vast improvement over last year when the program was begun by-you guessed itJack Matthes. Because theteam was still in its embryonic stage,themain emphasis was placed on the NCCAA District II meet held at Messiah College, Grantham, Pennsylvania, on April 21. (There isno National Meet forWomen's Track.) Here the team was able to place second with some outstanding efforts by Kim Brownfield, who was voted the Most Valuable Runner during the meet with wins in the 100 and200 meter dashes,asecond inthe long-jump,a third inthehigh jump, anda fourth inthe400 meter relay team along with Julia Smiley, Karen Herr, and Beth Hoffsmith

The New Look

here was little question about the fact that the 78-79 cheerleading squad was probably the best squad ever at LBC Led by Sponsor Mrs Debbie Benoit and Captain Pam Lucas, the cheerleaders inspired the football crowds to really get behind the team vocally A special talent of the girls was gymnastics as they performed a variety of flips and stunts. They also sponsored two pep rallies for the football team

Then as basketball season opened seven guys joined their efforts with the cheerleaders These yell leaders were a vitalforce in assisting the cheerleaders at the games During timeouts and halftimes the fans were delighted with the unique and difficult stunts and formations performed by the combined squad

Sponsor Mrs Benoit commented on the addition of the male yell leaders "Now that the guys work with thegirls, we have noticed the respect for us by other schools has improved tremendously They consider our cheering squad on par with the quality of major colleges."

The combined squad entertains the crowd during a timeout with a stunt The yell leaders from left to right are: Dave Duke, Marc Leatherwood, Jeff Wolff, Roger Mackey, Chuck Bowers, and Noel DePalma

Accompanied by Israeli officials Dr Guillermin tours a military base in the Gaza Strip

Dr. Falwell and Coach Worthington share a laugh after Coach Worthington recounts an amusing story from his "pro" days, while watching the Flames win another one at home

Their Influence Is Felt Near An d Far 'HJH,

r Jerry Falwell and Dr A Pierre Guillermin,Chancellor and President of Liberty Baptist College and Schools respectively, have been tremendous leaders of this great organization Their daily schedules are jammed with a variety of appointments, meetings, speaking engagements, planning sessions, interviews and problem-solving While most college leaders can spend their time in the usual administration of an academic institution,these two gentlemen face the not-so-usual challenges of a college growing at an extreme rate This brings on the added responsibilities of making monumentous decisions concerning finances,construction, faculty/staff recruitment and facilities Although there may be a few more gray hairs,they have not wavered intheir strong, consistent spiritual guidance.

®

Along with their domestic responsibilities Dr. Falwell and Dr. Guillermin have both been involved on the foreign scene — meeting and working with political and educational leaders of the Middle East

Dr Falwell met with Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin in November as a followup of a Mid-East tour taken earlier in the year with several other religious leaders This time the discussion centered around the Biblical perspective of the Middle East Mr Begin had invited Dr Falwell to brief him on Biblical prophecy

In January, President Guillermin was among ten American educators and businessmen who participated in the FirstShiloah Center for Middle Eastern and African Affairs hosted by the Israeli government and the University of Tel Aviv

During the seven day study mission, the group visited several towns and villages on the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the cities of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Nazareth, Bethlehem and Hebron

The purpose of the mission was to expose the participants to every issue and problem involved in the Middle East conflict Dr Guillermin commented, "The western world has a lack of perspective as to the cause of the Middle East crisis We are often unaware of the undercurrents that decide the configuration of future history." He added, "Learning about the Middle East situation made each participant more aware of the problems and gave them an eagerness to reach a solution that would end needless bloodshed."

here are certain events ina person's lifethat are unique and unforgettable John Hosier had such an experience in 1977-78 as he travelled with the LBC Singers

While the Singers were on tour in Visalia, California, at the Walnut Avenue Baptist Church, a woman came forward for prayer during the invitation. One of the girls on the team took the woman aside to talk with her.After the invitation,the lady wished to talk with John. He went into a side room where she was waiting, and for the first time in sixteen years, he met his natural mother - for the past 15 years John had been living with his father and stepmother. That night,John stayed with her and her family, and as a result,she accepted Christ as her personal Saviour

John Hosier isgrateful for the parents he has,but as he said, "I was grateful that God allowed me to reach back into my past and touch a life that maybe nobody else could have It's a miracle!"

t iscommon knowledge that a year with a traveling musical group is a life-changing experience John Freel has experienced that feeling in his year with the LBC Singers Certain times, in particular, impress on and linger in John's memory.

One particular incident occurred while the team was traveling overnight to get to a concert in Kentucky. After several problems such as breakdowns, snowstorms, and such, the team decided to stop in Ripley,West Virginia,to get something to eat As the bus rolled into the restaurant parking lot the restaurant lights went out John went inside to see how soon they could get something to eat.He was informed by the waitress that when the lights came back on they could be served After the team waited several minutes, the lights came back on, and they went inside and ordered Just when the last person had given his order, the lights went out again The team began to sing songs Soon they began to witness one on one to the people inthe restaurant As a result, two people were saved and three rededicated their lives. As the last person prayed, the lights came back on. Then the group ate and continued on their way

To John itwas an amazing experience "God had worked out everything God had control of even the lights!"

n years to come at Liberty Baptist College, students will hear and sing the school song and think of Steve Reitenour As a graduating Senior with five years at LBC, Steve iswell acquainted with school spirit

fEarly in the school year, Steve began to think about the school song He sat at the piano in C Building with Tammy Bjorklund, his girlfriend and inspiration, and worked diligently on the school song. After Steve completed the music, Tammy put the finishing touches on the lyrics and the song was completed

Writing the school song for LBC was like the "icing on the cake" for Steve His years at LBC had been dedicated to the betterment of LBC He played the drums in "I Love America" for two years and "To People With Love" for one year Steve's latest interest was in the rapidly developing LBC marching band Steve has also played for the Living Christmas Tree, Robbie Hiner, and other well-known gospel musicians

Plans for the future include more education One day Steve hopes to teach music at the college level.

always wanted to do something different," was Jayne Mottershead's comment concerning her hobby Jayne, a New Jersey native, found herwish when shetook up the art ofskydiving orassome may call it "parachuting."

Jayne came toLBC tomajor inphysical education with plans to gethermaster's degree inemergency care Shehascoached basketball and softball inherhometown aswell asplayed those sports. She won a most valuable player award in basketball as well asan outstanding athlete award asa high school senior.

Her love for athletics andchallenge ledherinto skydiving At first,the experience wasrather frightening toher,soshe prayed alot (and stilldoes). When skydiving, shedresses in old,comfortable clothing, then "jumps" into her jumpsuit, parachute,and helmet When she jumps, she has the feeling that absolutely nothing isaround her and that sheisall on herown She has grown less frightened every time and really enjoys the experience.

Jayne comments, "It's fun-you're on your own with nobody there You seethings you've never seen before Youfeel closer to God."

ene of the most popular hobbies Americans enjoy involves collecting things Gary Aldridge isnot uncommon to the American hobby scene because he collects Coke bottles.

Gary, an LBC graduating senior,began collecting bottles as a child in his hometown of Mobile, Alabama He has collected several from various countries as well as older ones from the United States One of his special goals isto collect Coke bottles with the brand name written in the language of each of the countries which he has visited at varioustimes

As a member of the EnPsalms,the LBC Chorale,and "I Love America," Gary has expanded hiscollection to include such items as vases, paintings, prints,and other objects native to the countries he has visited Gary also has an old gun collection

Perhaps Gary's interest in various "vessels" stems from his desire "to be the type of vessel which Jesus Christ can filland control to use to the greatest effect." Thus, he has also become involved in the Student Government Association.

Gary likes music and has majored in Sacred Music at LBC He hopes to use music to reach people in all the countries he has visited

ay I have the envelope please? The new Lancaster County Dairy Princessfor 1974 is MissDianeCrider!"

As a Dairy Princess contestant, Diane had a real opportunity to demonstrate those qualities which would win the titlefor her.Personality,poise,speaking,and a knowledge of the dairy industry were qualities on which the contestants were judged On the other hand, although it was a common joke, there was not a consideration given to the contestant's speed in milking a cow

Having been Dairy Princess, Diane had many opportunities to appear at banquets and other events as a guest speaker Her topic was inevitably the subject with which she was well acquainted: the dairy industry. Because she was a Christian, Diane used these opportunities to share her faith with others. She tied the dairy and farming activities to the Lord's work

It was an exciting time for her and her parents For her it was a "neat" experience

ai!" When you hear it, you had better be in good standing with the person who uses it!"Kai" isthe karate yell which helps the adrenalin flow more rapidly through the body prior to a karate blow

Wayne Nichol, LBC Senior, is a purple belt in karate, but he won't be seen using itexcept for sport or in case of self-defense He became interested ten years ago at the age of 17 and began training in Wilkes-Barre near his hometown of Dallas, Pennsylvania.

When Wayne felt called into the ministry, he moved to Lynchburg to major in Church Ministries at LBC While in Lynchburg, he trained at the Lynchburg Karate Academy under Jimmy Lee Horsley, who isknown in the east coast as "The Warhawk."

Although Wayne has been less involved with karate in the past four years, he plans to take itup again this summer. These days there ismuch more mind work involved in karate

As a form of enjoyment, people think thisroutine is fascinating The karate expert stands with three people around him, each holding a board. He throws his right elbow back and his leftfist out breaking boards in front and behind him He then kicks his foot out to break a board above him

Wayne enjoys the sport. Itisgreat for physical fitness.

hat life could be more busy than the life of a Liberty Baptist College student? Janet Rowe, who has experienced being a student at LBC, knows that the year she spent as a Bicentennial queen was also that busy. During 1975-76, Jan reigned in the southeastern part of North Carolina as the Bicentennial queen of that area. The pageant was held in Willmington, North Carolina, and consisted of several areas of judging. The contestants were interviewed by the judges as a start.On stage,the potential queens were judged on their dress At this point,they were also asked to give a three minute answer on a Bicentennial history question The field was narrowed to ten girls and finally to the winner.

As the queen, Jan travelled extensively throughout North Carolina on the weekends The highlight of her year was when she was invited to the Governor's Banquet where she officially cut the 300 pound cake Jan isnow working with SMITE (Student Missionary Intern Training for Evangelism) as Campaign Coordinator She serves as a flight attendant on the LBC plane

As we look back upon this year at LBC, many thoughts race through our minds. There was somuch todo,somany thingstobecome involved in. It was agood year, a fun-filled year, full of life and opportunity. Then reality hit us -this was our last year The question raced through ourminds- what had we done toleaveamark upon our school?

What didlife atLBC mean tous? It was learninghow tocope with, and then fall in love with the Island and Hotel It was "roughing-it" at Timberlake on those cold mornings when we used kerosene heaterstokeep warm Some ofuseven remember Rufner, fiveyearsago, and thosecold morningswithno heatersatall And LBC tous means remembering those prayer meetings on the Mountain, claiming the Mountain for God

Then dream became reality, aswe finallymoved intoour new buildingson our new campus Yes, there have been inconveniences -mud, dust, construction areas,etc Oh, we noticed, but we had already learned the precept that difficulties and inconveniences help mold us into better people. Compared to what things had been, now everything was luxury. In a way, itwas funny to sit back and listen to new students complain about petty inconveniences. We wondered -"would they have made it when we were Freshmen?"

Opportunities were varied The times of growth were many We lived here -LBC , isapartofus; we areapartofLBC We arewhat we arebecause ofourtimespent here. What have we done? We were involved in avarietyofministries- sports,music teams, conferences, RA's, ChristianService, Student Government, ... but we have gone beyond these activities and have found a day-to-day relationship with Jesus Christ

Graduation . . . Yes, we areready. As afinished product,we areready toliveand continue practicingwhat we have learned Yet,we will neverforget thetimesand the people who have helped make us what we are today.

t's beginning to sound like a broken record, but for the eighth consecutive year the Freshman classset an all-time high as over 900 students registered in the class last Fall.While a few of these new students had the privilege of living on Treasure Island or in the Hotel,the majority of them willnever know the thrillsof "roughing ft" in those temporary facilitiesthat are fast becoming a "thing of the past."

The Freshman Class was a very enthusiastic class from the beginning. More than 25 students ran for justsix offices in the Student Government Association.They went all-out in one of the most colorful and exuberant campaigns ever held at LBC. When the posters came down off the walls, all were reminded that the colors of the walls really were blue and yellow

Exciting activities were experienced by the class as they sponsored several lateskates, moon-lightbowls, askitrip, and an end-of-the-year hike to the Peaks of Otter Freshmen athletes also dominated the sports scene as a result of heavy recruitment by the coaches Probably the most affected sport was the baseball team as their tremendous success was highly attributed to Freshmen players

ItwasanexcitingyearfortheFreshmen Everything was so much different from high school.There were new friends,new professors,new challenges,new opportunities — actually, itwas the beginning of new horizons.

o some, LBC may have looked like a circus last August when the students returned from summer vacation. Administrators and building crews were seeking for a place where the student body, increased by 20%, could meet for chapel

In reality, some may have thought that there was a circus on campus when they saw a twenty-five hundred seat tent erected next to the classroom buildings. Actually, it was theschool's "tentatorium." Thetent wasrented from an evangelist and used for large classes, student activities, and chapel services Dr Wemp liked to call the chapel services "Ole Tent Revivals."

The atmosphere of the tent was very conducive tospiritual unity, fellowship, and revival, and many students hated to see itgo at theend of first semester. The tent provided shade during the summer and was an umbrella when it rained. When winter arrived, heaters were installed to help take off the chill ofcold mornings

Students never seemed toreally mind thedusty chairs, the water puddles on the ground, or the cold air, because they realized that this had been another step in the pioneering stages of Liberty Baptist College. Many attributed thecloseness and unity of the students to that tent that no onewill forget

Viva La France

nstead of going home to Mama's cooking for spring break, 28 Liberty Baptist College students under the leadership of Dr. Woodrow Kroll ventured overseas to visit the often dreamed about countries of Europe. But it wasn't just a sightseeing and pleasure trip For the most part, itwas educational Contemporary European Theology was taught through lectures given by Mr Dan Mitchell

The itinerary was packed full of exciting places tovisit After arriving in Amsterdam they went to see the Cathedral in Koln, Germany, and the castle and town of Heidelburg

Baptist history was discovered in Zurich, Switzerland, where Zwingli, father of the Baptists,had preached Lucerne offered itsbeauty and Keon presented itsmagnificence when the students rode a cable car to the top of Mt Pilatus A day was also spent in Geneva sightseeing

Then itwas back to France to visit Chamonix, the ski capital of the world, and Paris for three adventurous days.

Brussels, Belgium, was next, and then itwas off to Rotterdam, Holland, to see the spot where the pilgrims had set off for America. One of the highlights of the trip came in Haarlem where they visited Corrie Ten Boom's home and the Ten Boom Watch Shop

Then came Amsterdam with itssights,and finally itwas back to the United States after an action-packed 15 days.

Bne preacher that had a profound influence upon the student body was a young man from Manhatten, New York, named Tom Maharis He visited LBC during orientation week for a 2-day revival Monday and Tuesday nights Tom was formerly involved in drugs and the occult and at that time had no interest in knowing Christ Feeling no purpose in his life,he started searching for some answers and cried out to God in his confusion. Soon afterwards he was confronted by a member from Word of Life and taken to Schroon Lake where he eventually got saved. After this he attended Bob Jones University to get his preparation for the ministry

"Escape" From Treasure Island

his past year, LBC students inhabited Treasure Island for theseventh consecutive year What once heldthe entire student body, this year only temporarily housed 277 men and women.

Students enjoyed theoutdoor feeling ofliving on theIsland, which islocated inthemiddle oftheJames River They liked the privacy and quietness. There wasalso a close fellowship among the students that gave an atmosphere offamily living.

Then inOctober, themen students were moved from the Island toa newly completed dorm on Liberty Mountain The Island wastotally vacated onemonth later when thewomen studentswere alsomoved totheMountain.There were many mixed emotions; some students were glad tobe innewdorms while others were sadtoleave theplace ofso many memories. Nevertheless, moving off theIsland marked a turning pointin LBC history It meant that thecollege campus wasnow becoming a total reality

They Gave Their Blood

his year the SGA Committee on Community Projects, headed by Randall Miller, sponsored the Red Cross Bloodmobile on three separate occasions In September and again in December, the MiniBloodmobile, a self-contained mobile unit, came tothe campus. Although only 35 pints were needed each time, over 50 donors showed up to give their blood on both occasions.

Then in February, the full-scale unit of the American Red Cross came in andset up their station in the loungeof Dorm 14 Twelve cots were laid out, and twenty-five Red Cross volunteers helped draw blood This time a quotahad been set of 110pints.However, volunteers were so plentiful that, after they hadfinished twohours behind schedule, a total of 157pints hadbeen collected.

Although themajority of thedonors were LBCstudents, staff, and faculty, there were also some local Lynchburg residents that came on campus tovisit the Bloodmobile.

At least 15 people had volunteered a pint of bloodall three times that the Bloodmobile wason campus

jrf, he "SUPER" Sophomores | startedtheyearoffwithabang when they defeated the opposingclassesintheFallMassMania

This victory was followed by a late skate and a Sophomore-only hayride in which Robbie Hiner was the special guest Approaching the end of thefirst semester, they feltas if they needed more advice and orginal ideas. Thus theyselectedMr.TowlesoftheEnglish Department and Miss Nancy DeMoss, a coordinator of the Children'sMinistriesatTRBC,tobecome theirspiritual and activitiesadvisors.

The second semester proved to be very productive for the Sophomores as they ventured into new areas and activities.Among these were a donkey basketball game, initiating a classgift fund, a spring hike to the Peaks of Otter,and a Sophomore Spring Spree (afaculty-student variety show) Although activities were a major part of the Sophomore year,the firstand primary goal of the year was to become a "unified group." The officers of the Sophomore Class feltthat they obtainedthisgoalonly, becauseasaclass, they put "JesusFirst."

"I feel as though the privilege ofattending LBC isa unique and special one. Since I've attended LBC, my life has been challenged in more ways than I ever dreamed possible.The atmosphere isthat of a Christ-centered society.Itistrue in some situationsthat knowledge isnot an education;yetI can honestly say that at LBC Ihave learned that the knowledge of Christ and living the Christian lifeisthe only true education."

ut good gospel music, skits, and blue jeans together and you have a jamboree known as the Sophomore Spring Spree.

Late intheyear, theSophomore Class provided a funloving evening full of variety forthestudent body LBC's own "muppets," Leroy and Easy, co-hosted the evening with a littlehelp inorganizing from Sophomore Class President Randal Miller, Class Advisor Mr Towles, and many other students Entertainment came from faculty members, students, and special guest, Mac Evans. It wasn't just a night to kick-up-your-feet with some pickin' and grinnin' from "Hog Heaven," acountry music group from theMaintenance Dept., but also a night to discover hidden talent in the college such as ventriloquism and a faculty barbershop quartet. Along with these new performers, many others participated whohadministered tohearts ever since they hadcome to LBC

Not only was itfun, hilarious, inspirational, and enjoyable, but itwas also a successful unifying activity for the college When the curtains closed, smiles were on every face

Student Vent Their Energies At

Mass Mania

he Student Activities Council came up with a new all-school activity this year appropriately named Mass Mania This informal action-oriented activity involved competition between the four classes with the winner receiving a special trophy to be handed down from year toyear

The first Mass Mania took place on Labor Day and was geared toward group games involving hundreds of people. Beginning after lunch and continuing allday,students pitted their strength and wits against each other ingames such as human croquet, three-legged race, needle in the haystack, human pretzel, tug-of-war, and a massive steeple chase which was won by the Juniors. Each team was awarded points according to how they placed, and atthe end of the day,the Sophomores came out on top, becoming the firstchampions of Mass Mania

By popular demand, another Mass Mania was held in the Spring This time it was designed primarily forindividualized competition with a few group games interspersed Among the events were "big ball" volleyball, a pie-eating contest, chariot race, crab soccer, dodge ball,balloon shaving contest, and other exciting events This time the Seniors, underdogs because of only having a few participants, came outontopandtook thetrophy away from theSophomores.

he Junior Class set the pace for the 1978-79 school year The year got off to a fast start as the Juniors teamed together to win the Steeple Chase during the year's firstbig event, Mass Mania However, thingsdid not go quite as well as expected on their firstclass outing when their hayride developed into a "hay-sit" — the tractor would notstart. Nevertheless, theydidnot let that minor problem stand in their way of having a good time and staying one step ahead of the circumstances

They were represented well by Miss Sally Sistrunk and Miss Georgina Holliday at Homecoming festivities They were also represented well on the playingfield by the Junior members of the football team as LBC soundly defeated Ferrum College In fact Juniors played a big part inthetotal LBC sportsprogram with many ofthestarplayerscomingfrom theirclass

As far as fund-raising isconcerned, the Junior classdiscovered that late skates were very profitable and, combined with the sale of bumper stickers and a share of the profitsfrom Mexican Fiesta,they have a sizable treasury going intotheir Senior year Other activitiesof the year included ski trips,and a bigend-of-theyear picnic Also,Billy (Spud)Morris took the Mr Ugly contest with no problem "AsaJuniorClass, we had avery profitable year in many areas However,this yearhasonlybeenaglimpseofwhatisin store for us next year as mighty Seniors."

ornetimes we look atgreat menof Godascreatures of an almost inhuman nature They are socloseto God that we think that they do not even liveanormal life. Linda and Lauri Rice know differently, because their grandfather isDr.John R. Rice."Heisloving and concerned just like any other grandfather," says Linda, a junior at LBC

Dr. Rice and hiswife have twenty-eight grandchildren. Linda's andLauri's mother, Joanna Rice,isthe fifth of the six Rice daughters Their father isRev Bill Rice who is no relation tothe John R.Rice family except bymarriage.

The Rice family gets together every Christmas at Grandpa's house inMurfreesboro, Tennessee, to exchange gifts Grandpa preaches,andthere isa representative from each family who displays some sort oftalent.They also singtogether and share testimonies. The past two summers the whole Rice clan hastaken a two-week vacation inFlorida for a time offun,rest,and fellowship

"My grandfather has been a tremendous example and influence on me. Notonly ishe the greatest,most genuine Christian I've ever known, but he isalso a man with an enormous sense oflove and concern for his family aswell as for the world. Irespect him, admire him, andappreciate him Most ofallIdeeply love himandam extremely proud to be his granddaughter," exclaimed Linda, and Laurie agreed.

hree-thirty A.M isan early time to wake up, but that was the time LBCstudents had to get upto be ready for the buses leaving for Washington D.C at five-fifteen A.M.

April 27, 1979, wasthedate, and it wasthefirst time ever that a Christian rally had been held on the Capitol steps. This rally wasnotan everyday, sign-carrying,trashleaving, flag-burning rally It was the gathering of about 12,000 Christian people, led by Dr Jerry Falwell,who came to Washington to express their disapproval of the current moral issues of abortion, homosexuality, sex and violence onTV, IRS involvement inthe Christian school tax exemption, andpornography in classroom textbooks

Before Dr. Falwell's brief message,the "I LOVE AMERICA" team performed such songs as "I Love America," "Red, White,andBlue" with Robbie Hiner,"Armed Forces Medley," and "Church Triumphant" with LBC's own living miracle, Charles Hughes.

After the music,several Congressmen andSenators gave short speeches supporting the Christian rally

When the rally was over, LBC students were allowed to tour Washington forthe rest of the day Many of the students went inside the Capitol, toured the Smithsonian Institute, and visited theLibrary of Congress Some even went as far as the FBI building and the National Archives.

Looking back over the prosperous day, students realized that 3:30 A.M wasnotsuch an early time togetup after all

DON'T MISS THE BLESSING!

It's 8:00 a.m. and classes at TRBI open with an organ introduction As the music summons each to hisplace, the command isgiven, "Turn in your hymnals tonumber 403!"

You stand, fumble to find thepage, yawn, and begin singing, trusting the music to lift your heart, open your eyes, and help you to glean from the teaching ofGod's Word today.

To a would-be passer-by hearing 150 voices singing "Great is ThyFaithfulness," it would appear as though

chapel was in session at the old sanctuary of TRBC, but inquiry would disclose that the institute starts every day singing praise to God

You've come to love the opening singing since you've been here. The promises and truths given through song have been such a spiritual uplift, especially on those days when you wondered ifallyour efforts were worth the sacrifices The singing is certainly an improvement over the

There's twenty-some years of correlating and research tucked under that arm! Dr Willmington was enthusiastic to share his knowledge and wisdom through his gift of teaching to students at TRBI

clatter of yester-year when slamming lockers, cold hallways, and ringing bells began your schooldays.

The love of one man and his great appreciation for the old, old hymns has been passed on to you You're thankful for Dr Willmington's encouragement and heeding to not just sing these songs, but to read and linger on their meaning as part of your dailydevotions

Just before closing your hymnal Dr. Willmington remarks with a father's adoration, "You'll never hear better singing than this, folks!" He nods to Brother Chapman in mutual agreement, "If you miss the singing, you miss the blessing!

The institute boasts of its family-like closeness as a student body, and per haps when Earnest Carey gave his testimony of the blessings of TRBI at Senior Day he was remembering times like these when as a family we sang together

Thomas Road Bible Institute students topped off their great in-depth Bible training on Monday mornings by worshipping God.

Because of the special chapel services every Monday, they were inspired and encouraged

Along with soul-stirring messages from top speakers in the country, the students also received valuable information via super-seminars! Some fact-filled topics covered were: "How to Start a New Testament Church," by Grant Rice, one of the nation's fore-most church planters; "Incredible Archaelogical Discoveries," by Clifford Wilson; "Scientific Creationism," by Dr. Henry Morris and Dr. Duane Gish, plus much, much more

The Dean, Associate Dean, and faculty members also challenged students to become powerful Christian leaders for the glory of Jesus!

For singspiration, students enjoyed listening to Fred Duncan (a favorite gospel singer at the Institute), as well as listening to other professional gospel singers. Under the direction of Rick Lawrenson, the students sang many of their favorite old-fashioned gospel songs also.

A BRAND NE W LOOK... AT TH E GRAND OLD BOOK

Since 1972 students desiring to learn God's Word have enrolled in the Thomas Road Bible Institute This year, a new look in the Book offered TRBI students the very best in Bible study curriculum

It was evident that Dr Willmington's teachings on Old Testament chronology in twelve main steps, and various studies in Bible doctrines, enriched, blessed and gave a greater understanding of the Holy scriptures to TRBI students Extended from the majority of the students was their greatful heart feelings to Dean Willmington and the institute faculty for their excellent teaching and support to the student family of1979

In addition to the many new study helps and materials received this year Students were asked to pray and take part inthe institute'sfuture progress Promo buttons were passed out and students helped prepare brochures for mailing which were sent out nationwide proclaiming TRBI's expansion of a new one year Christion Ministries program, and the opening of an evening course of three year duration

Those students submitting names of possible recruits for TRBI from their listof friends were given the taped elective course of their choice from Liberty Home if indeed any of the persons they submitted enrolled for the fall semester of '79. Also launching a new option to TRBI were some thirty-eight students who signed up for the Holy Land tour to Jerusalem which took place inMay. Stirred and excited about the school's growth, students discovered they would no longer be attending classes at TRBI, but would be sitting under the same teachers, in the same buildings, but under the new title of Liberty Bible Institute (LBI) as they united in name with the Liberty Baptist Schools.

Thanks to the wonders of electronics, they can listen to 300 hours of actual classroom instruction by Dr Harold Willmington

In addition to this, special programmed instructional sheets have been prepared by a qualified artist to aid the student instudy There are 18 different elective courses by 10 instructors to choose from These include courses in how to use the Bible knowledge inSunday School teaching, in Christian magazine writing, andindealing with false cults

Along with the cassettes, instructional sheets and practical how-to courses, the student also receives nearly a thousand pages of beautiful multi-colored and coded printed sheets ofvital Bible information

When he doesn't have his nose ina book, Pastor KE N CHAPMAN, TRBI's Associate Dean, gets into some sticky business Bees! Building hives and raising bees has been his hobby for nearly thirty-five years

The bees reward histending with "A Little Bit of Honey." Some he eats, and some he sells to meet theexpenses of his fuzzy, flying chums

Whether shopping with wife,Sue, in Washington D.C or Richmond for a weekend spree, DR. HAROL D WILLMINGTON'S hide-out in every mall is the bookstore Bible, science, and history satisfy his palate for reading Speaking of taste -food isa biggy on hislist of likes; however,his favorite feast ison the Word ofGod where he spends most of his time preparing and digesting each crumb of its truth. His haven of rest is his home, where a game of ping-pong withson, Matthew, or watching T.V ease the tensions ofhis busy schedule

Besides many hours over his light table in the graphics department of TRBI, RICK LAWRENSON , an institute graduate, now pastors New Life Baptist Church in Madison Heights, Virginia.

Collecting Sunday school memorabilia is a favorite for DR ELMER TOWNS, an appropriate hobby for the tagged "Mr Sunday School." His collection, once housed in an old bank building museum in Savannah, Georgia, memorializes some of the greats of the faith throughout our country's Christian heritage Old books, certificates, Dr Lakin's

saddle bags, and beautiful woodcut prints are just some of the treasures he has accumulated over his ten years of gathering Writing, jogging, gardening, and family fillhis after office hours

MRS MARIE CHAPMAN en velops much of her time outside of TRBI's classrooms in manuscripts

Comfortable at the keyboard, an assemblage of her years as teacher, editor, Christian worker, pastor's wife, music director, speaker, and mother have inspired the numerous published books and articles ticked from her typewriter Her motto, "Whatsoever thou doest, do quickly," makes time for exploring a wide variety of interests and handcrafts like photography, grave rubbings, and

sand-drying collected wild flowers

Writing, acting, or traveling is where one might happen across the animated, enthusiastic BOB HARRIS

On the road again! Under thedirection of Tim Broome, the Bible Aflame Singers pack up, load up,and head for another church.

The nation-wide ministry of the singers covered well over 10,000 miles last year,36 weekends a season

At times the schedule seems almost impossible to handle. Many times on a single weekend they will travel 300 miles, visit two churches, and still make it back on Monday forclasses!

When asked if traveling ever gets boring, their enthusiastic reply is, "We love every minute of it!"

Not many groups exhibit such talent as these young people do. Their ministry through song and testimony wins souls and gets people right with God.

Traveling across the country ministering to peoples' hearts is only half thejob. The Bible Aflame Singers must practice four days a week, plus learn newsongs

When asked by a church member in AltaVista, Virginia, what makes them work so hard, Rick Donaldson, one of the singers, replied, "We're here because we love you."

The Student Government Association had their hands full! Academics are top priority in any school, but at Thomas Road Bible Institute,the development of Christian character and poise isalso very important Therefore, SGA offered a good balance of social activities for all students From exciting King's Dominion to the Peaks of Otter, from pot-luck dinners tobanquets, some socials were for married couples, some forsingles, others for gals only, but most socials were for everybody!

Steve Mandreger isn't a bionic man, but people who actually see him lift 1,005 pounds of solid steel seem to think so! Steve has a unique ministry which he calls Triumphant Athletes. This special ministry is both a show and tell evangelistic program. The show aspect of the program involves how Steve capitalized on his Godgiven physical ability to break the world's record for weightlifting The tell part of the program is Steve's personal testimony _ of how God lifted him from a high-rolling, drug-filled rebellious life. Then he goes on to explain how anyone can escape a defeated life and begin living for the glory of God through the power of Jesus Christ.

Pumping iron for th e Lord !

Triumphant Athletes is a nation-wide evangelistic association. Steve travels almost every weekend showing and telling how God has changed his life He also is an accomplished author and has been on many television and radio talk shows. Steve is currently scheduled in churches and auditoriums across the country a full year in advance He isn't all brawn though, Steve takes his education seriously He is a graduate of Eastern Michigan University where he majored in Physical Education Currently, he is enrolled at Thomas Road Bible Institute Afterwards, he plans to attend Liberty Baptist Seminary for his Masters Degree, then go on to work towards his Doctorate at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas,Texas.

In 1978, Victor R Waldron put on a uniform and began working for the Sheriffs Department in Lynchburg, Virginia Today, Officer Waldron works at the city jail keeping an eye on the men there, but he isn't just a Deputy Sheriff — he is a Christian Deputy Sheriff

While making the rounds at the jail, Officer Waldron takes time out to tell the men that someone does care about them. He not only shares the gospel and counsels with the prisoners, but also brings in good Christian books and magazines for them to read. In addition to this, he also gives a Bible to any inmate who would like to have one. Even though Officer Waldron is a student at Thomas Road Bible Institute and a full-time Deputy Sheriff, he still finds time to work at his local church as a Sunday School teacher, Youth Counselor, a parttime bus worker, and director of the Junior Department.

Wives of TRBI students are often called upon tomake even greater sacrifices than their husbands Uprooted, they come to Lynchburg from near and far to prepare for theministry with their spouses. Many wives work long hard hours away from their families in order to make ends meet The Put Husband Through certificate isgiven to each wife of those graduating students in appreciation for their understanding, sticktoitiveness,andencouragementin their husband's finished accomplishment at TRBI

This year the Institute Ladies Fellowship (ILF) attracted the largest group ever since its founding Steadily active intheILFwere some fifty wives of institute, seminary, and college students

Realizing how valuable a trained helpmeet isto her husband's ministry, the administration of TRBI developed this helpful program to teach andprepare women for whatever ministryGod leads them into, particularly the pastor's wife

The purpose fortheir meeting each Tuesday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M wasthreefold: to instruct them in the Word, to inspire and incourage them asChristian workers, and toprovide fellowship Teaching the scriptures, Dr Willmington and Mr Ken Chapman used much ofthe same Bible materials for the ladies during their

meetings as was taught daily in TRBI's classrooms.

Offering her years ofexperience as a pastor's wife, SueWillmington, wishing someone had better informed herof what to expect as a young pastor's bride, offered helpful tips andhints for handling andavoiding some ofthe misconceptions andproblems faced by the pastor's wife.

Other visiting speakers were scheduled tocover the different aspects in a Christian woman's life Topics on finances, hospitality, organization, home entertaining, and grooming were presented by Mrs Harold McNabb, Mrs Elmer Towns, and Mrs Walter Fordyce, along with Mrs Willmington Dave Holdren and Dr. Woodrow Kroll presented the importance of what being a woman is in God's eyes, andexpounded on the roles of motherhood

and being a submissive wife They gave new insight to familiar scripture,and, "made every woman there feel like she was someone very special," as Sharon Lamphere expressed it

A variety ofactivities were organized by ILF's president, Anna Guzman, that included a shopping trip to Williamsburg and a fashion show presented by Hills Department store inwhich several ILF ladies modeled in-season togs. There wasalso a puppet seminar conducted which explored another type of ministry for reaching people with the gospel, while theMother-Daughter banquet closed out the year's meetings. ILF scored a unanimous plus by all attending, and many felt they were better equipped to enter the ministry with their families after the instruction they received there

Students of TRBI have always shared an eager interest and sincerity in the Lord's work and fulfilling the GreatCommission Recorded on Institute files are the many graduates already on the field of full time Christian service.

To the 47 seniors graduating from TRBI this year, graduation was not looked upon as an end or a beginning, but rather it was taken as a continuation and preparation in developing one's life's purpose and calling -sort of an "on your mark, get set" to GO!

WALK

Preparing as pastors, administrators, Christian workers and business people, the motivating thrust behind TRBI's students was their dedicated commitment to Christ, and mutual goal to see scores of people saved.

This year numerous opportunities were opened to TRBI's seniors as May's graduation approached. Several students had accepted positions in different ministries weeks prior to their commencement walk, while others waited patiently and prayerfully for the Lord's direction, and rejoiced together as the possibilities of future ministries became available

Following graduation, Michael Lee headed north to pastor Tower Baptist Church in Tower, Michigan Also Michigan bound was Dean Adkins after accepting an associate pastorate at Baptist Bible Church in Flushing Locally, taking

a youth director's position, Charles Sanders stayed on at Leesville Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, and David Garnett joined the ranks of Temple Baptist Church in Madison Heights as bus director. Warren Rice teamed up with Rural Bible Missions, and along with several other graduates setting out nationwide to start churches was Alvin Tanner, who traveled westward to Pheonix, Arizona, to establish a church there.

As the school year ended it was exciting to witness God's blessings on TRBI's graduates as they stepped out on faith in all directions and vocations of Christian service.

The Clifford Smith award was presented in "duo" this year when Manual Guzman and Tom Harmon tied for Outstanding Student of the Year as voted by their peers

When the caps and gowns arrived anticipation mounted for Ted Bunker and Lannie Kidd as the reality of graduation drew nigh

Seminary work is serious, but thorough; dynamic,fulfilling and made enjoyable by the outstanding men whoteach the graduate classes The study ofGod's Word is the deepest ofacademic efforts and seminary students must love the Word ofGod asthey absorbthe classroom instruction, detailed research andstudy andthe participation as a student body.

3 Dr Alwine recognizes lunch hour 4 Dr Kim takes notes during chapel 5 Dr McNabb has a ready ear

6 Dr Diemer punctuates another point 7 Dr Schmitt is serious about final grades

Professors Give All To LBS

These pages are dedicated to the outstanding professors and staff who have given their minds, bodies and souls to instruct "hungry" students, to nurture the academes andtopreserve andprotect the solid, fundamental, Bible-believing scholarship as described for Liberty Baptist Seminary

The past academic year has been an exciting and thrilling one With the scholarship demanded by Dr.Hughes,

Dr Diemer, Dr Schmitt, Dr Alwine, Dr Lo and Dr McNabb, we can not help but look toward the future as Christian teachers andeducators.

Liberty Baptist Seminary is more than the faculty, more than the students and much more than thebuildings The seminary issurrounded and filled with God's Holy Spirit andwho can ask for anything more?

1 Mr Landtroop isthe arm of administration 2 Mr Matteson prepares for his next class 3 Dr Willmington enjoys Bible teaching 4 Dr Towns thoroughly researches his lectures 5 Mrs Lucas, Mrs Gerlinger, and Mrs Dorrin cheerfully greet visitors 6 Library staff provides service with a smile

With each class period opening inprayer, our daily

routine isbathed with God's grace tomaximize thepotential for that hour

The continual sourceof our spiritual nourishment comes from Thomas Road Baptist Church It isimpossible togive adequate statement tothe value ofthe church. Perhaps understatement is most effective by saying that if it were not for the church ourSeminary could not exist

1 Don Ellison, class of '78, challenges students during chapel to commit all to the pastorate 2 Dr Hyman Appelman preaches as only a "completed" Jew can 3 Jim and Eileen Stallard share their chapel time together 4 David Musselman and Dan Totten join musical talents to inspire Seminary chapel service

Academics Devoted To Scriptures

The academic experience at Liberty Baptist Seminary when described in emotional termsis representative of life lived tothe full extent Sometimes fun, sometimes painful,always demanding, but never vain,the application of mind to facts about thetrue God and His church becomes the center of every student'slife.

In the Division of Theology we pursue God's Word in Greek and inHebrew. With hours upon hours and days upon days, we proceed from confusion to understanding to wonder and delight because studying God's Bible isitsown unsurpassable reward.

In the Division of Christian Education we seek the methods of teaching others what we have learned Application, practicality, and zeal to accomplish rule over discipline to discover the best way to apply Bible truths among those God has given us tominister

The most outstanding characteristic of our academicsis the great devotion to the Scripture as the ultimate authority for knowledge. Another remarkable feature isthe warm relationship between students and teachers. Here, the academic experience isone that ismutually shared by the teacher and

hisstudent.

Graduation: Miracle Da y

May 13, 1979, the dayofgraduation for Liberty Baptist Seminary, was obviously going to be a remarkable day for allattendants Over many smiling and proud faces hung the clouds of one of those days in the spring when rain is the rule rather than the exception. However, with only a fewdrops in our area theevent went according toschedule while the rest ofthe city was inundated. Glory goes to God forhis miracle ofprovision.

Another miracle ofHis provisionwas the Commencement speaker The Seminary's own Charles Hughes delivered a compelling challenge to the graduates who had observed God's sustaining care inCharles' life during the last year and a half During this day of honor, pomp, and circumstance the weather and the speaker proclaimed our Lord's majesty in unison.
