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 jl-flnHi ' ei S n i3e''s cou 'd almost be IsHE-l heard ringing asthecouples " " walked through the pinesto enter the magical world ofan "Old Fashioned Christmas." It was like Dorothy inthe Wizard Of Oz, stepping from her routine world into the colorful, enchanted land of Oz. The moment that allhadanxiously awaited hadfinally arrived: the Christmas Banquet

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

Students make their way through the meal line,helping themselves to delicious steak at the Spring Banquet

Mr. Pantana tells Dr. Hindson the story of Christmas in Italy.

Merv and Betty Moore sing a duet of praise and set the mood for the Christmas banquet.

=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
