2009 Yearbook by Central Baptist College

A Matthew 19:26 tells us "With God, all things are possible." We hear this verse all of the time. We tattoo

it on our arms and buy notebooks with these words inscribed on the cover. We wear t-shirts

proclaiming it. We use it to offer strength in seemingly impossible situations. We use it to give comfort to the broken. We use it so much, in fact, that it often feels overused.

In many ways, Matthew 19:26 has sadly become a cliche.

God, however, has proven this school year that the verse rings true for Central Baptist College: all things truly are possible with Him. All things are possible

E t> ( ;i i| d oii| From 8 a.m. classes to Midnight Madness, Aquamania to Fall Hay Day, the life of a CBC student can be hectic.

There are the freshmen who are excited to be here with their

first taste of independence; they are ready to begin the next step in their lives. They are the "low-man-on-the-totem-pole" again, but have the opportunity to make new friends and new identities. There are the sophomores that have experienced the college atmosphere and adapted to working on fewer hours of sleep and living in the dorm. They've survived a year of eating Ramen noodles and memorized the microwave cookbook.

Juniors are halfway through; they've figured out how to balance studying and a social life. They've learned all they need to know about the college experience, but aren't quite ready to realize it's almost time to leave the CBC family. The life of a college junior is about having fun. Then, there are the seniors who are on the brink of the real

world - life after college. For them, it's a time of excitement as well as apprehension - excitement to think that they are almost finished with school, which means no more homework, no more tests, no more

studying until the wee hours of the morning. Apprehension because they are almost out of school, when it's time to face the world and get a job, and put into practice all the things they learned. In short, it's time to grow up. Overall, a student's life is stressful,

but it's during these times that we often learn the most. There are choices to be

made every day - choices about how much studying to do, how much sleep to get, how much time to spend playing pingpong - but with every choice made comes the possibility of growing into the person God made us to be and live out what we learned in our time spent at CBC.

It I p "t © T U a i iPa H. d When I was in Thailand, I was given the amazing opportunity to pray with the only Christian girl in my group. I began praying out loud for her,and before I knew it, she was praying out loud along with me in Thai. It was simply amazing. God grew me so much while I was there and captured my heart for the Asian people. Thailand was not merely a mission trip for our team, but rather a God-given opportunity, to learn, grow, and pour into the lives of the Thai people. Students on our team included senior Gage Jordan, juniors Crystal Cuneo and Sarah Hebert and myself. Warren Dugas

Going into this trip, we had a solid vision, but did not exactly how to properly execute it. We wentto Ramkham haeng U niversity with a plan to start an English program called ISHELP (Interactive self help English language program). Through ISHELP, we broke off into small groups and simply conversed with the university students. We discussed various topics,such asfamily, hobbies,religion,culture,etc. We worked alongside the tentmakers in Thailand, to aid in helping them form contacts that would hopefully lead to ministering to these students. While we worked in the university, we formed incredible bonds, made

priceless memories,and shared the love of Christ through our lives. We saw, experienced, and learned much about

"The most valuable thing that I received in Thailand were friendships. It's really awesome getting to hear about those people getting to know Christ. I hope I get to go back some day." Junior Crystal Cuneo

"For me, Thailand was a great experience. Of all the things God taught me, I learned how valuable relationship buidling is in evangelism. The more you get to know someone, the easier it is to paint the picture of the glory of God for them and how it relates to their life."

Nationally,every year,students,teachers and families join together early in the morning to take a few minutes out of their day to lift up the nation, its schools and its people at See You At the Pole. The ceremony was sponsored by the Campus Activities Board and took place in front ofthe Cooper Complex on September 24. "The attendance was big this year and many teachers and staff joined with the students. The music was great and God was there," said junior Emily Coleman. Students gathered, along with professors, on Wednesday, Sept. 24 and began worshipping Christ. Music was lead this year by fresh

things on their hearts. A great number of people came to the event, even though it was very early in the morning. Students and profes sors were all on the same level and all joining together for a common goal. "It was a great reminder that we should take advantage of our abil ity to pray whenever and wherever we want to," said freshman Bekah

For Prince and Princess, sophomore Jared Durham and sopho more Hannah Kocourek were proud to receive their prizes. Last, but not forgotten, the King and Queen award was pre sented to sophomore Michael Mayo and senior Savannah Murray. Many were confused because Mayo and Kocourek are a widely known couple on campus as are Durham and Murray.

From Rockstar energy drinks to 5 a.m. cups of coffee, the student center to the faculty lounge, the people of CBC are all unique. We have people from all over the world, people from every continent(except Antarc tica and Australia). We have different lifestyles, different backgrounds, but at CBC it's almost as if we are one big family. We are united by God and He is the foundation that brings us together. Here, it's almost as if we are in a bubble. We're protected from what's going on in the world; however, that can be a good thing as well as a bad thing. We have the opportunity

to learn in a Christian environment with Christian teachers.

The professors are here because they love to teach, they're here to make a difference. They try to relate everything they are teaching us to the Christian worldview. Sometimes, they even have a first-hand experience of what they are teaching us. The athletes are here to play the game; they're here to glorify God in what they do best. Whether that be giving God the glory for the game-winning point, or simply partici pating in community service on behalf of the team, they do what they love and do it for Him.

The scholars who are here to learn all that they can, they're here to gain an education.

Maybe it's in Science and when they leave they are going to find the missing link to curing cancer, or maybe it's in English and they are going to write a novel. Maybe it's in Counsel ing and they are going to help as many people as they can, or possibly Religion and they're going to teach others how much God loves them. Whatever it is, they are using their time here for you. The musicians who are here to hone their skills; they're here to learn how they can use their talents for God. Maybe they will lead music at a church, maybe they will start a band, whatever they decide to do, it's all for you. The ministers who are here to learn more about God's Word, they're here to learn more about God and how He can use them to do His works.

Then, there are the people who are just here,

they're here to get an education, they're here because God wanted them here. They're here for a reason.

There is a purpose behind everything that we do and everything we learn here. There is a purpose in who we are when we leave here and who God is

shaping us to be. We are CBC, we're embarking on a new stage of our life; we're emerging into new creations and growing closer to God.

Staying In touch with friends and family Is a major partofanycollege student's life, and Central Baptist College students are no different Throughout their busy schedules, CBC students find time to con nect and converse with their loved ones through various means. "Keeping In contact with my friends Is very Important While I may not see someone everyday because of work or school, I can letthem know whenever I think ofthem,"says junior Mary Raines. A popular tool used by CBC students to keep In touch Is Facebook, an online community website. Taken from the site Itself, Facebook "helps you connect and share with the people in your life." Every single day, students are In the computer labs on Facebook, checking their friend's status updates, send ing messages, sharing pictures, and sending "virtual pokes."

Some students still send letters and cards through the United States Postal Service. Staying In touch with friends, family members, and loved ones is essential to every college student The students of Central Baptist College always find ways to stay in touch with others dally, whether by text messaging, phone calls, Facebook, or MySpace. No matter what method is used, one thing Is certain: CBC students are never out of touch with others. Di^; learn Slayton

Fashion, accordingto students, doesn't mean that they have to wear high-priced articles of clothing or even anything expensive.

Student Orientation Staff(SOS) is really active during the first week of school. They help move in the freshmen and make them feel at home throughout the year, begin ning with Welcome Week.

The Student Women's Organization (SWO) planned many social events for the school and for Bruce Hall, with the biggest activity being Harvest Party. This year's SWO officers were senior Kayla Payne, sophomore Ashleigh Elsbree and freshman

Morgan Middleton.

The Student Men's Organization (SMO) planned Spring Fling. The SMO officers were junior Ryan Cunningham and sophomores Richard Rodgers and Josh Whistler. The Campus Activities Board (CAB) helps the students become more involved and have fun. This year's officers include senior Kayla Payne, junior Emily Coleman, sopho more Collin Lagree, and freshmen Savannah Smith and Jordan Goforth. The Resident Assistants (RAs) planned events throughout the year to get the

students who live on campus involved with each other. They had game nights, movie

nights, floor parties and other activities.

The Choir grew closer through many performances and road trips taken to differ ent churches around the states. Singers, who were usually the headliners to the Choir, also took part.

Band and Handbells performed two concerts per semester displaying their talent. Horizon Business Association (HBA)took several trips to area business to learn the ins and outs of the trade.

The Ministers Association had meetings twice a month discussing Biblical Doctrine. Tribes and Tongues, a new organization this year, was a way for all the international students to bond and create relationships with one another. The yearbook and newspaper staffs were a family, who published stories and photos to show what happened on campus. These organizations

The ensemble sang a blend of different styles of music rang ing from contemporary, to more educational pieces. They even tried an upbeat gospel song during the Family Day performance.

away with a more practical knowledge of how a business oper ates that couldn't be acquired from the classroom alone." The primary goal of HBA was to honor God through a commitment to excellence and learning. Along with other specificgoals, HBA also aimed to instill an appreciation for business. Freshman Vladimir Baraniuk said, "i wanted to join HBA to learn more about the business world and to find

out what's going on in local businesses around Conway." HBA took two field trips this year. They went to a local bus factory in the fall semester and Home Depot in the spring. Mendenwald said, ""I think the bus factory trip gave an appreciation for the sophistication of manufactur ing processes while the Home Depot trip helped us to realize the strategy associated with selling to customers." To invite new students into HBA, the officers sponsored an ice cream social at the beginning of the fall semester. Junior All Smith said, "I was new to HBA and in my first and only accounting class. I went to the ice cream social to find out who could help me with my homework!" HBA also sponsored a movie night. "Remember the Titans" was the movie of choice. Severai students gathered around in "the room with the big screen," said sophomore Cody Isham. These events encouraged all students to attend; however, "special recruiting efforts" were made for business majors, as stated in the constitution. HBA upheld its specific goals through meetings,events and field trips, which lead them to their final goal-"To build lasting friendships with people who share similar interests and goals." b\j:Rache\ Waymire HBA 83

Clinging metal together may not sound like a beautiful thing, but at one o'clock Monday afternoons, six students came together to make a beautiful sound called the handbell choir. These students had to put time and dedication into the practices in order to make good performances. "Handbells is a very unique and beautiful ensemble," said junior Sarah Jones,"I have thoroughly enjoyed it and playing handbells has helped me to broaden my music ability. This is my fifth semes ter to play in hand bells and I am so glad that I have stuck with it." "Band is something, that other than Christ, my life revolved around for so long. And when I think about it, it's not just band, but music in general," said junior Seana Gomer. Coming from a town where that's what you did, it seemed natural that Gomer would play in college. She likes the closeness of this band due to it being so small. The band is an organization that performed at the Christmas and spring music department concerts. They also played some pep music for the Homecoming game. Freshman Andrew Raines expressed his reason for joiningband. "Music has always been a major part of my life, and I intend to keep It that way," he said. "Central Baptist College band is simply one of many opportunities to play for the glory

of God, and frankly, I can't seem to get enough of them." The band isdirected byjohn Caldwell,symphonic band director. The members of this organization have much to say about him. "Bro.Caldwell is one ofthe mostcaring people I have ever met. He is genuine and loves the Lord, and really shows us on a daily basis how we mean to him," said Gomer. "Although we have a small band, we wouldn't be able to do anything without him. We are blessed as a school to have such a director that whole heart-

edly cares for each student as a individuals, as well as a whole..

"I enjoy CBC band mainly because it is just a chance to play with others,butalso because,beinga rather small group,it is much more personal;as opposed to playing in a huge group ofnameless,faceless numbers,known only by their instrument and chair," said Raines. From simply playing an instrument, to using Godgiven talents, the band is an outlet for students to

glorify God in whatever instrument they are playing. I3i^; Racfiael Lewis and Betlnany Abele Band/Handbells 85

Harvest Party was a Sadie Hawkins event, meaning the girls had to ask the guys to accompany them. The woman is required to pay (also known as TWIRP) and Is a part of Harvest Party and gives out awards. To prepare for this week, SWO members had a servant auction in November where the girl's were put up for

"sale." Any student, teacher, or faculty can "buy" the girl and have her do what they wish (within morals) for the day. SWO also sold Fal l Hay Day t-shirts to raise money for Harvest Party.

Tribes and Tongues is a haven for both International and American students alike. This club on campus feels almost as if you have set foot on foreign ground. Freshman Steven Melendezvoiced his thoughts,"It'sagreatgroup.Even though there are different cultures we can build good relationships." It does not matter that there remains to be a peculiar ity, nor a language distinctly different-it is here where diversity is welcomed. Sophomore Katie Prewitt said, "It's a great way for the International students to get con nected on campus. It's almost like a family unit." freshman Gwen Vallejo stated, "I like that we can get together with all the different cultures and be able to communicate."

Psalm 22:27 states, "All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord; and all the kindreds

more about different cultures and languages. But I think we have to make more noise so that people know we are here." Whether it is broken English being exchanged; or a beautiful song being sung in that of a native tongue. This opportunity has a standing mission,"To enrich the lives of all students from diverse backgrounds and to encourage their participation in campus activities." freshman Grace Kim said, "I feel like we have different cultures, but in Jesus Christ we are one.Atfirst, I felt lonely because I am the only Korean student, but now with this group I have friends." The doors of this club remain open to anyone will ing to simply seek out campus diversity and those in search of a greater sense of campus community. Although this club remains to be in its' beginning stages, the thoughts and ideas can be seen as provid ing a promising atmosphere for future international students and students with a great interest in missions.

Headlines and deadlines are our life. We

caffeine, and function on very little sleep. "Since I basically live in the J, I enjoy it, it's usually an enjoyable and light-hearted place to be—except on deadline day, when things tend to get tense, but some of my closest friends are on the staff," said sophomore Hannah Crites, features editor for the Tower Times.

We are writers, a device for converting caffeine into sentences. We are photog raphers, a device for taking an ordinary image and making it sparkle. We are page editors, a device for taking a blank canvas and turning it into a masterpiece. Junior Rachel Waymire, opinion editor, said she had no idea what she was getting

into when she applied to be a page editor. "I quickly found out that the newspaper required much more time and creativity than I had initially anticipated. It takes some work at times, but it was worth it when

you see your published work, make inside

jokes with the staff, and get your paycheck!" Sure, we get a little stressed—okay, a lot stressed on deadline day-but all in all we have a blast being on staff. It's like a family. We have our arguments, snap at each other and disagree, but after seeing the final product, it makes everything all seem worthwhile. It gives us a sense of accom plishment to hold in our hands something we created—the Tower Times newspaper. Qi)'. Ali 5mit(i Newspaper 97

Remember when you first came to Central Baptist College and didn't know a single person? You were scared of what your roommate would be like, you were scared to go into the cafeteria, and you were scared to start your classes. All you saw were bright yellow shirts everywhere and wondered what was going on. Now you know those crazy, weird students to be some of your best friends. They were there to calm down your nerves and make you feel like you were at home again. The Student Orientation Staff,commonly known as SOS, was a group of upper class students who strived to help freshmen and transfer students find their way in a new world. SOS leader Crystal Cuneo describes the group as,"CBC studentsthatvolunteertohelpnewstudentsfeelcomfortable and to make their transition from high school to college so much easier. We are here to serve and help each other out." Led by Sancy Faulk, vice president of student services,

"I love how much a team of strangers can come together and become such great friends over a week," said Michael Mayo." I also love how we can grow closer to our faculty by working right along with them during the opening weeks." Next came Move-In Day where SOS members climbed flights of stairs and carried students' belongings into the dorms. All of Welcome Week was planned by Faulk and

The team met once a week in the evenings to scrimmage and get to know each other. SeniorCaseyWilliamssaid,"Wemetaround 7:00 and practiced for a few hours. It was a really good way to getto know the girls before school started. Once school started we prac tice twice a day. We practiced at6:00 a.m.and 4:00 p.m. every other day. When the season got closer we practiced everyday at 2:00." The early preparation helped the Lady M ustangs at home and on the road.

The team has a stacked schedule of

Jason Anderson has been head coach for the Lady Mustangs and for two years. According to him he works the girls hard and does his best to turn them in to finely tuned machines by the time season rolls around.

Another year has past, and CBC girl's soccer team was blessed. With only sixteen girls playing, they stayed positive and strong and ended the season with great memories they will never forget. With only four players returning on the soccer team, the girls made the new freshmen feel comfortable and relaxed. During the summer, some girls were lying out tanning while the girl's soccer team was running and getting in shape for the season to start. "I was running everyday, trying to get faster and faster so I would not slack in practice. There were days when I just wanted to lay in bed, but I would make myself get up

and I would feel better. What motivated me

to get up was the fear of bringing the team down. Even though I didn't know anyone yet, it kept me thinking that I need to be a good example and be in shape," said freshman Susan Jeffress. When everyone was getting ready to move in on August 16th, the soccer girls moved in on the 15th. They didn't have any help but only themselves and the friends and family they were with. Getting everything unpacked and staying up late, the girls were ready for an 8:00 p.m. practice at the Conway High School track to run. "We had potential, but with a young team, mainly freshman, it was hard to get them ready for a real college soccer game. But as the season went on, we really ended up connecting and got better on the field, think next year, we will be much better

the NCCAA National Tournament. The first

tournament was held in Maumelle at the country Club of Arkansas. Carvajal was a medalist, shooting rounds of 77 and 66. Hutchinson was a medalist runner up, shooting rounds of 74 and 73 to help the Mustangs to their first victory of the year over Mid American Christian University.

Hopefully, we can get a transfer or a freshman to come in next year that will help out the team. Coach did a good job this year and I'm sure he was disappointed like the rest of us at nationals, but that's just golf," said Carvajal.

Coop^/iatiom Bump! Set! Spike! The Lady Mustangs Volleyball team did just that all season long. From 6 a.m. practices to eating at Arby's, the team grew closer in everyway. Some of the fondest memories of the

season came from the times the team spent together- even off the court.

Seo;tÂŤb<

Freshman Susan Feimster said,

"Practice was more fun than the games because we weren't all stressed out about

Crowley's Ridge Col

winning a game. Before games we all went out to eat. After that we would play around for a while to loosen up. Then we would actually warm up and get our game face on." Pre-game regiments helped take the tension off and remove jitters. Away games brought on added pressures, but the ladies were able to push past their fears when they won third place in a tournament in Springfield, Mo. Sophomore Ivory Holden overcame nerves against Crowley's Ridge where she said "I was killing them! They didn't want to see me!" Holden's spikes and serves brought intimidation to the opposing team.

Holden also remembered the van

rides to and from away games. She laughingly said, "Brittany Flowers and I always had to sit in the back of the vans. We fell off the seats

every time we hit a bump!" The Lady Mustangs built lasting friendships throughout the season. They were even able to laugh at each other once in a while. Feimster said,"One time. Ivory hit ne ball and knocked Brittany in the stomach, i hit h^-so hdftl that she fell over. We could

Sweat, blood, and tears were shame

lessly shed this year on the intramural battle ground. To be the owner of a black champion ship T-shirt was the motivating force behind each base stolen and rebound recovered.

This year the intramural coordinating torch was passed from Jeff Riddle, physical education department chair, to the new nights and weekends coordinator, Sarah Headley. With a degree in parks and recreation, Headley organized all intramural activities. Students signed up for each sport, coaches met, teams were drafted and the games began. Sophomore Luke Brown said the reason for playing Intramural sports was "to rip it up!" Others, l ike freshman Jake Byrom said, "I don't have time for varsity sports, and I like to just play for fun." This year umpires were hired from within the campus. Sophomore Richard Rodgers served as an umpire for coed Softball. " I had to show up 15 minutes before each game, call the game and pick up the bases afterwards," said Rodgers. While some students were working intra mural games, others were missing work to play in the games. Last year's female athlete of the year, junior Crystal Cuneo, admitted to quitting a job to play intramural sports. " I definitely don't regret it," she said. Players were not hard to come by and neither were the fans. Spectator and junior Jenna Allen said she attended the games as"the official key holder, cell phone holder and wallet holder." Sophomore Ashliegh Elsbree said, "I on't ever go to real games because I jus3t-w,alk;>to the intramural games."
