On the night of Tuesday, October 25 the dining hall was adorned with bowls of candy corn and apples hung like lights from its ceiling. These new additions were not permanent ones, however. Rather, they were special decorations for CBC's 16th annual Fall Hay Day. Fall Hay Day is an off-campus tradition that began in 1996. Every year this night offood,fellowship and fun is held at the house of Bro. Jeff Riddle, physical education department chair.In fact. Riddle was actually the mastermind behind Fall Hay Day. "In my first year as the dean of students we had a student govern ment association and we wanted to do something for the students that was an alternative to Halloween," said Riddle.

The idea that was proposed back-in-the-day was the Fall Hay Day that the campus still celebrates, though Riddle has been out of the Student Services Office for eight years. This year's event started off with an awards ceremony for a pump kin carving contest, an apple eating contest and a pie eating contest. Though the evening had just begun,students were already getting into "hay day spirit." "Fall Hay Day is great and really fun,"said freshman Casey Weaver.

Story by Brittney Webster After the activities on-campus, all caravanned to Riddle's house in Greenbrier, holding true to tradition. Upon their arrival,they were met with three trailers full ofhay bales, so that they could embark again,..on a hayride up Wye Mountain. The ride wasfollowed by a second dinner of hotdogs,smoressoda and cookies, all provided by Jill McCollum, director of dining services. As the smell of campfire smoke wafted through the air, students ate to their heart's desires and fellowshipped around two bonfires. For some,the bonding time is the best part of the entire event, "I like to come here to hang out with people because I'm always in soccer and I normally don't get to do so,"said sophomore Leah Crook. During this time of munching,senior Rustin Woods led the group in songs of worship and senior Jake Steele gave a devotional about "seeing the eternal picture" from 2 Timothy. To conclude the evening, many students tried to out jump one another in the infamous hay-bale-jumping contest. Though many words could be used to describe Fall Hay Day in its entirety,"incredulous"wasthe one used byfreshman Laura Waymire, winner by default of the pie eating contest.

The second place slot was claimed by Emanuel Soto, notching a harmonica and a $25 gift card to Walmart amongst his accolade. Finally, freshman Josh Wright was beyond doubt the winning act in the second annual talent show. Aside from head colds and a relatively short platform to resign from the competition, the talent show that almost did not happen was saved by a well-received cavalcade of comedy, theater opera, contemporary music, and worship music, and an audience poised for a night of memorable entertainment. In the gamble it took to get there, the house had won and now the chips are set for another high-stakes talent show next year.

I was an all-state baseball player and had the opportunity of playing college baseball. The Lord began to speak to my heart and said baseball was not part of His plan and will for my life; however, I thought he had to be joking and told him that I was going to play. I was wrong! The next day I hurt my shoulder prior to signing my papers for a scholarship. My unwise decision lead me to North Arkansas College. While I was there during the first semester I threw my life away on riotous living. I drank, partied and became a puppet of the world. There was no fear of the Lord in my heart and I shortly became insensitive to God and His heart.In January of the same year God used the prayers of so many back home as well as a wonderful sermon series by a pastor named Hoe Morrel. But I then went through such a huge period of guilt. It consumed me so much that in March I had decided that the best thing for me to do was to end my life. I'll never forget the events of that day. I fed the cows and laid in the pasture and prayed: "God I look at creation and I know you are there. I know that You called me to follow you but Lord I don't believe I can be forgiven for all I've done Lord please just give me a sign" and I went back to the house.

Isaiah 64:8 says,"God is the potter and we are the clay, and all we are is the work of his hands." This is the ongoing theme for Recast. "I love Recast because the people that come there are truly seeking God and wanting to praise him," said sophomore Justin McKeown. Recast is the name of Gentral Baptist Gollege's student ministry

that was founded last year by Dean of Men, B.J. Sullivan. "The vision for Recast is to focus on worshiping Ghrist, as well as serving others", said Sullivan. This year Recast met in the Burgess Auditorium on Thursday at 10 p.m. "I love the serious worship attitude and seeing how many students come and give up their Thursday nights and a little sleep to come seek out God in their lives," said sophomore Emily Simpson. The goal of Recast is to reach out in the community. They did this by starting small groups, which include students

from GBG as well as the University of Gentral Arkansas and

Hendrix College, and serving Conway by participating in several service projects. "The speakers are more intentional at Recast," said junior Jacob

Robinson."They are teaching to a group of students that are thirsty for God's Word."

Many pastors and youth pastors of local churches have spoken at Recast as well as a handful of students. These speakers are not alone in their efforts to serve; many students help out in different ways during Thursday night services. "I love to lead worship for Recast," says senior Nathan Brewer. "There is just something about leading students in a totally spirit-led and filled voluntary time of worship." "Recast's Thursday night services give students a chance to slow down and worship God for all that He is. I know by going to Recast God is impacting my life each time I walk in the doors," said sophomore Nikki Dickson. Organizations 047

Story by Andrew Riepe enforcing the rules the students agreed

The students of Central

Baptist College have taken it upon themselves to help enforce the rules of the college amongst themselves and their peers, taking on the title of student life leaders (SLLs) in the process. Originally, they were called resident assistants, but unlike the SLLs, resident assistants only have jurisdiction over tenants in the building they are stationed in. SLLs possess a jurisdiction over the campus, the result of which earning what Thomas Mobly coined as the SLLs' unofficial nickname,"The Sheriffs of the Campus." According to Mobly, an SLL in his own right, the prerequisites to be one include,"at least one year at CBC,must be a sophomore, must live on campus, and actively seek out the position through application." Mobly then said,"more information on requirements in the application can be found by asking student academic director Sarah Headley or dean of men, BJ Sullivan." Mobly said about SLLs "they are not out to get anyone, just

to follow."

Right up there with the SLLs, student activity leaders(SALs)are given the task of organizing and overseeing activities and functions for the people in their dorms. Their duties include to have monthly activities and weekly Bible studies Student activity leader David McCuen, said, "our responsibilities are following the rules and setting activities." Among the activities he organized were a dorm-wide ping-pong tournament, movie nights, and an addition to weekly Bible studies called "Pineapple Tuesdays," were the participants eat freshly cut pineapples after the Bible studies conclude. In addition, David McCuen cited "spiritual growth, a friendly environment, and lots of friends" as other perks of the job. To youths looking to join a dorm in the foreseeable future, McCuen said,"The focus of SALs is to nurture spiritual growth with students if they are willing and provide activities to relieve them of their daily stress."

whenIfirst stepped foot into the un-named orphanage located in Leogane, Haiti, it took less than 35 seconds I for my life to change forever. As soon as our missionary contact honked his hom

outside the orphanage gate,children began running and jumping alongside the van.

The van doors flew open; I stepped out, and I was immediately swarmed by the most beautiful little dark faces I had ever seen.

Over the course of the trip there I noticed a lot about the people of Haiti. The thing that stood out to me the most was when Ilooked all around the only thing I could see was total devastation,

filth, and poveny; but along with that were thousands of smiling Haitian faces.

In the orphanage, where there was absolutely nothing, the children would play and laugh the most contagious laughs

you have ever heard. Our church first sent a team to Haiti in October of 2011.

By God's grace,that team came across this orphanage, and He laid a deep burden on their hearts that could not be shaken. The children were starving and so sick. Without God's provision I am confident to say that those children would not be alive today.

After months of praying, our church has accepted the biggest task that God has ever put on our plates.

This task is to get these children out of the conditions they are in and into a brand new children's home called Hope Rising. As of about two weeks ago, our church purchased twelve acres of beautiful

land where Hope Rising will one day sit and proclaim the hope of Jesus Christ. I strongly believe with everything that I have that the over one hundred children

who will live there will change the history of Haiti.

God's

Volunteer Student Missions(VSM)is something that is pretty well known around CBC. It's a great opportunity provided by the BMAA that sends kids all over the world each summer to spread the love of Christ. These trips are well planned out and safe, so when I heard I wa Cape Verde, Africa, I was extremely excited!

VSM boot camp ended right before my trip started It was basically a whole week in which we absorbed all the information about security, food, medicine, and location-specific plans. Three days later I was off to the airport to meet up with two other

people from our six person team. One was our group leader. Brother John David Smith.

We had a ten minute delay on our flight, and we figured that was

the worst it was going to get. We weren't worried though, because we knew that Brother John David would be able to take care of anything that may happen. But then, as we went throughout the day, we started

getting bad news. Multiple times. Two people from our team had separate flights that were delayed, and another had a plane leave without her. Because of these things, we could not make our flight to Cape

Verde.

The thing about getting to Cape Verde that you need to know is: they only fly two days out of the week. And you couldn't imagine the umber of Cape Verdien people in Boston that wanted to go back that week who were able to go without luggage. Because of this, we couldn't make the flight three days after we all got to Boston. We couldn't just wait for the next week to get a flight, so Brother John

David divulged our new destination; Canada!

So we piled our luggage full of shorts and t-shirts on top of our rented

t f

Explorer and headed north.

Canada was an incredible experience. We walked around at least three

different towns passing out door hangers that explained what the church was about and where it was. We also attended two churches that were

overseen by the same pastor. m , I

One was a Haitian church, and I miss it every Sunday. They had twenty or so people including our own six person group and I still couldn't hear myself trying to sing Haitian Creole hymns with my friends because they were so passionate about what they were singing. It was one of the loudest Sunday worship services I've ever been to!

I'll never forget my time in Canada, where we tried our best to speak broken French. The people in those churches were some of the happiest people I've ever met. But my biggest lesson I brought back was to never tell God what you're going to do for Him Let Him lead you, and the adventures that He will bring will teach you the greatest lessons.

"I would like to see us as a college unto ourselves," said Smiley. He hopes to see writing,literature, communication and journalism as their own separate depanments. Like Sadlowski, the hiring of Ann Gardner, assistant professor of literature and language arts,was a move

be in the future." Even more doors in

the department are opening now with the addition of Sadlowski.

Smiley said her coming might "help us move into some areas we haven't

explored."

"I would love to be able to offer more

classes in my area of expertise," said Sadlowski, speaking of her interest in ancient Rome and Greece.

The changes Smiley wishes to see in the department seem to mirror what he's seen in the school as a whole.

"The waysthiscollege hastransformed is just extraordinary," said Smiley. Perhaps the same will be said of the

literature and language arts department in a few short years as its own vision comes to fruition.

Ha vernacular text," the concept of "madrigals" K were originated and developed in Italy from

^ previous Italian and French musical works.

From the 16th to 17th centuries,the madrigals' representation of literary texts from Italian poets Tassi, Guarani, and Petrarch led to its popularity and made it a social activity for amateurs looking for fame and fortune. Throughout this period, the love-oriented poems that formed the basis for madrigals were adapted by musical theorists from Italy to England, notably Thomas Morley, argued to be the most famous secular composer during Elizabethan England.Fast forward over 400 years later, CBC music director Jim Turner and English department professor Henry Smiley brought the madrigals to Central Baptist College."It's designed to glorify the birth of our King through feast, singing, and merriment," said Joshua Lewis, one of the students on hand at the festivities.

The event was held in the cafeteria on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of

December around 7:00 p.m. with a 15 dollar admittance fee and an optional DVD of the experience for an additional fee as a souvenir from the nostalgic evening. College students from Jordan Bowen to Mara Ramirez, Blake Wickless to Stephan Bogan had assignments as members of the CBC Choir to caterers for the evening, so long

Story by Andrew Riepe as they "had a scholarship and passed their auditions" according to staff member David McCuen. In terms of their anachronistic roles, V" several students played as servants, masters, maids, royal singers,

town-criers,cooks,and royal dignitaries while music director Turner played the role of a member of an Elizabethan clergyman and Smiley

portrayed the king,complete with his son and wife playing the roles

of "prince" and "queen." While students sang everything from tributes to the king to a retrospection of the Three Wise Men's sojourn across the desert to pay homage to the newly-born Christ, the patrons in attendance partook of a 3-course dinner punctuated by a British dessert, bread pudding and a "drawn and quartered wild boar" garnished with figs and rosemary, a dish even remarked in passing during one of the madrigal songs. So, were the madrigals just a "form of medieval A Capella music" as defined by Smiley or simply"Wow"by awestruck patron Michael Cray? You decide.

This year, the Musical Production class presented the 1940s musical that told the story of Annie Oakley and how she became known as one of the best sharp-shooters in the West. The progression of Oakley from a back woods hillbilly to a big-time star, plus the funny up-and-down love story between Oakley and character Frank Butler, was also part of the script. Playing Oakley and Butler were freshmen

That's what I love to do," DiGuilio said.

"The thing that I enjoyed most about Annie Get Your Gun was working with all of my friends from school. It was a lot of fun watching everyone turn into their characters," Box said.

They also said they learned more about themselves through the experience. "Both my vocal and acting abilities were stretched while preparingforthe mtisical! The singing wasn't so hard, but with this being my first time acting, I just had to practice. After all, practice makes perfect," Box said.

"It[music production]was something that I participated in while at CBG.I feel that it is vital to the other artistic part of a musician's life.

and department chair

to come back to CBC to teach. According to assistant professor of history Stephen Raines,for many years. Brown was the entire social studies department. He taught history, political science, geography and

V I

some classes now considered to be behavioral sciences.

Brown also hired Dusty Bender,the current social studies chair. When Brown retired. Bender was able to hire a new instructor. He chose Raines.

"When he hired me he asked me: 'Do you prefer American or world history?'" Raines said."I said I like them both but, if I had my preference, I would rather teach world. Then he said: 'Good, because I would rather teach American.'"

Stephen Raines Assistant professor ofsociai studies

Theinteresting thing aboutthe question,Raines said, was that Brown had asked Bender the same question when he was hired and Bender said he preferred to teach American history. "So he is happy to have someone who prefers to teach World history," said Raines. The department includes world history and Ameri can history, geography and other recently-approved classes.Introduction to Political Science will be taught by Raines in the fall semester, and in the spring of

2013,State and Local Government will be a new class.

"This year ofelection,as the government instructor, I want to inculcate some thought in the students in the political arena," said Raines. The department offers a history minor and is hoping to offer a political science minor at some point in the future, said Raines.

For next year, Raines expects more eager students who want alove for history kindled. He looksforward to working,enhancing and improving the department along with Bender, who Raines calls "the best boss on campus."

"The purpose of the Bleacher Creatures is to bring a completely different aspect to the games

that they attend," said Michael Mayo, personal ^ admissions officer and leader of the Bleacher Creatures."We are there to shake to walls with

'CBC friendly' cheering. The purpose isn't to be mean or harsh to the other teams. It's simply to be so loud and crazy that we can't be ignored by the opposing team." These grandstand dwellers, who dress up in crazy outfits to cheer on their CBC Mustangs,

"God wants me to be me so I'm

gonna be me." -Machael Rabb are really turning heads. "I love bleacher creatures!" said senior Rustin

Woods. "Loyalty and support for your school is a great thing, and the chance to be wild while you do that is an added bonus! It also allows non-athletes to join in on the camaraderie of the sport and displays that there is something to love about your school." The Bleacher Creature movement at CBC

started in the 1980s, but according to Mayo, "sometime during the 90s,the Bleacher Creatures ceased to exist."

Mayo decided to take action to bring the group back.

homes rangingfrom Africa to Arkansas would have little in common. However,he would be wrong when it comes to Mustang athletics. The Central Baptist College men's soccer team is made up of players from all around the world. Yet, without knowing that fact,students would never be able to tell based on the way that this year's team has truly bonded together as a family. The entire team can be seen eating together in the dining hall and, according to senior Ian Bryant, they spend a lot of time practicing together, too. "We are on the practice field 10-15 hours a week," said Bryant. The players think that this time spent on the field has paid off this season.

"We did pretty well this year. We are the number one seed for regionals," said sophomore Christian Mackey. In fact, the team ended their season with a record of 8 wins,

losses and 1 tie. Yet, junior Brandon West wishes that they would have "won the games that they should have won." Besides growing together as a team on the field, the men's team also got to bond-together through some crazy events off the field this year as well. "On the way to Nebraska our bus ran out of gas, we hit a deer and

said Mackey. That was just one of the crazy events that occurred this season."This year definitely had its ups and downs," said West. In seasons to come,the Mustangs would like to get a soccer field on campus and hope to see more students at their games. "I'd love to see the Bleacher Creatures at our games next year," said junior Caleb Dayer.

Yi Story by Brittney Webster n Saturday, May 5, the Burgess Auditorium was packed full-to-the-brim

with people waiting to see one thattheylove graduate from college. Though many anticipatory seniors were simply thankful to graduate and looked forward to the festivities of the day, the cer emonies were also special for the institution in a number of ways. For one, according to President Terry Kimbrow, the Class of 2012 was the largest in the history ofthe institution. The number ofgraduates prompted two services to be held at 10:30 a.m. for PACE students and 1 p.m. for the traditional students.

Another first was that graduation could be viewed online via CBC's Ustream channel.

This was the first and probably not the last year that live streaming was made possible for those who could not attend graduation in person. Yet,despite the two services and the live streaming, many aspects were nostalgic of past graduations. The ceremonies began with a processional played by freshman Drew Russell. Angela Wisely,CBC alumnus,sangtwo songs,"There You Are" and "Captivate Us." After a prayer

led by Christopher Medenwald,assistant pro fessor of business, the Rev. Ed Stephenson, CBC alumnus and pastor ofSpringhill Baptist Church, gave the commencement address. "Wisdom is knowledge of what is true and right coupled with just judgment and action," Stephenson said. He also reminded graduates that the principal source of wisdom is the Lord. Stephenson gave one last word of parting encouragementfrom Hebrews 12:1-2: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with per severance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus,the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,scorning its shame,and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." 142 Graduation

this year's Carillon, has enjoyed knowing that the yearbook staff was brought together by the hand of God.

Once she was selected as editor,she began

praying for the section editors that would accompany her in planning and working on the Carillon.

"Bythe middle oflastJuly,Ijust had Bekah (Rebekah Simpson)as part ofthe staff and I was not really worried, but I just wanted to start right away in August," Ramirez said. Once classes began,God helped her find the rest of the staff one person at a time. "The next addition I found in the piano practice rooms," Ramirez said.

As Ramirez was working in thejournalism office, she heard the sound of someone

playing a Casting Crowns piece in a nearby practice room and she went to see who it

Garillon staff member.

"How I met Hayley is a funny story," Ramirez remembered. Yearbook adviser Ann Gardner had told Ramirez about a freshman she had advised who had

experience with working on a homeschool yearbook. Ramirez went on a campuswide quest, along with freshman Laura Waymire, to find Lynch. After an hour of looking,they located her and asked her to join the staff.

Ramirez said.

Freshman Jordan Gradberg was a close friend of DiGuilio. One day in November, Ramirez, Gradberg and DiGuilio were visiting outside the student center and the subject of the yearbook came up. Gradberg decided to join the staff. Freshman Brandy Box was part of the Tower Times newspaper staff and thought in January about joining yearbook staff as well. After talking to Ramirez and Gardner, she decided to join.

"I cannot deny that each one of the Carillon editors was sent by God," said Ramirez."It's just amazing how He put all the right personalities together. We have become close, not only as Carillon editors, but as a family. I am deeply proud of all of them." Ramirez said the yearbook is not a one person job. "In fact," she said,"It is an impossible task for one person."
