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.

Rod Weimer 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.

CO C O o X 2 o DO c c c CQ H 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.
