DECLARE YOURSELF
We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it
and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordinglyall experience hath shown,
that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
and to provide new Guards for their future security.

August 12, 1976
Dear 1976 graduates:
Congratulations on your achievements. Education is an exciting process. I have enjoyed sharing your years on campus. You have acquired new intellectual skills. You have developed new leadership abilities. You have accepted opportunities at Otterbein to strengthen your personal identity and values.
I am confident about your future. That confidence is born from knowing and observing many of you. It also comes from knowing thousands of Otterbein alumni whose Otterbein experience has contributed so much to make their lives productive and meaningful,
Remember that many others helped make your Otterbein education possible. Family, faculty, staff and friends have contributed through encouragement, talents and support. Alumni and other donors have given to make possible both the fine facilities and many College programs. Consequently you paid only a fraction of what your education cost.
Repay the commitment others have made to you by sharing the benefits of your talents and education with others. Remember Otterbein. Help her provide the opportunities you have had to others.
You have my best wishes for personal and professional fulfillment. May God bless you.
Sincerely,_
Thomas J, Kerr, PresidentNeilMeirs

"Ifwe can't be thankful forwhat we receive,
The commencement address ofthe 1976 Otterbein Collegegraduation ceremony was delivered byThe Reverend Joseph Hughes Yeakel. Reverend Yeakel, bishop ofthe Syracuse area, the United Methodist Church, used the theme "And May Yours Be 20/20," as the basis for his speech. Otterbein was also recognized as a bicentennial college by the Honorable Alan E. Norris. Marianne Grace Eldridge led the Otterbein Love Song and Thomas Hoover gave the benediction.
Freshmen startedtheyearwith abanghavingtheir bonfirethefirstweekend of fall term. The attire was informal - pajamas and night gowns were seen all around King Hall during the traditional snake dance. For theirfinalethey serenaded President Kerr and his family outside his house with the Otterbein Love Song.
First there was the bonfire, then there was Scrap Day. Oh, you remember ... it was that day when the Freshmen and Sophomores became kids again and competed against each other in two hours of intense competition! There was the bathtub stacking relay which called for great strategy as the teams piled as many people as they could into the tub. The toilet paper relay demanded a quick but gentle touch and a good amount of teamwork. Musical tubs sent the Freshmen slipping and sliding towards their victory which was clinched with the annual tug-of-war across Alum Creek. The day ended with a tired but closer Freshman class.
All A111erican Ho111e• co1111ng
Sorority and Independent women kicked off the Homecoming Celebration by serenading their individual candidates. Homecoming candidates were presented during the serenades. Women contended for the year's queen title. Saturday brought Otterbein Alumni back to a rain-soaked alma mater. The queen, Elaine Clarke, was introduced at the football game against Wooster. George Washington and his cherry tree, the Liberty Bell, and even Mickey Mouse reigned on various floats. Amid rain and decorations, alumni, friends, students and faculty, trod visiting soro.rity, fraternity, and dormitory housing and a reception at the Campus Center.
Theatre Behind the Scenes
Behind the scenes picks up on Otterbein Theatre technicians who spend many long hours constructing sets, focusing lights, building costumes, and other necessities which make a show run. This special section is dedicated to Fred "Pop" Thayer and all the "techies" ofCowan Hall.
Concerts
Pure Prairie League!! This popular rock group appeared November 6, 1975 in the Rike Center. There was a very favorable student response to using the Rike Center for an activity such as this. Attendance reached 1700 persons. This exhibited the versatility of the Rike Center facilities. Also appearing, along with the wellknown Pure Prairie League, was Alex Bevan and the Star-Spangled Washboard Band which was well received by the crowd.
This concert sponsored by C.P.B. in conjunction with Agora Productions of Cleveland, Ohio, provided a major concert that students had asked for over the years.
"The Matchmaker"
Thornton Wilder's "The Matchmaker" was presented on October 22-26 as part ofOtterbein's Bicentennial celebration. A one of America's most popular plays, the Matchmaker included the mischievous wiles of Dolly Levi, who "put her han in" and affected the lives of Ermengarde, Ambrose, Barnaby, Cornelius, Minnie Fay, Irene Molloy and Horace Vande gelder in very amusing ways. Adventure, lovers, and laughter were paramount in this production directed by Dr. Charle Dodrill. The four sets were designed by Professor Pop Thayer and built by his stagecraft class into the wee hours of th morning. The costumes which depicted the 1890's were designed by Petie Dodrill. David Robinson chaired the costum crew and Beth Kendig and Jo Runnels created two of Dolly Levi's elaborate costumes. Props were diligently hunted fo sewed up and made (remember those hats!) byLucinda Sigrist and her crew. Michael McCleese (God help him) did seaso tickets with his devoted crew. Where did you put all those people on Saturdaynight, anyway?
Because they achieved the necessary 20 points in hourly work on crews and/or as cast members, Sue Ware, Jurgen Toss man, Russ Scull, Jim Dooleyand Bobbi Cunningwere inducted intothe Cap and Dagger Dramatics Clublate in fall term.

Operas
Otterbein's performance of "Down in the Valley" and "The Jumping Frog of Calaveres County" was indicative of the performing talents of the student body. As the music department occupied Cowan's stage for the opera production, students became more exposed to another aspect of the performing arts, while others took total responsibility for lighting and set design.
Aladdin and His Wonderful La111p
The Children'sTheatre production of "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp" under the direction ofMr. Jim Avidon was a complete success as it relaxed the mind of the adult yet challenged the imagination of the younger audience. The combination of make-up, costuming, lighting and sound techniques created the necessary effects to make the show enjoyable and "believable" to audiences of all ages.
To Be or Not To Be
Tony Roberts was the fifteenth guest star to appear at Otterbein College. In the title role of Hamlet, Roberts demonstrated standardswhich aided not only actors, but other students as well, to attain professionalism. "To be or not to be, that is the question

McCurdy Mission School, located in Espanola, New Mexico, provided an excellent and rewarding teaching internship for nine junior elementary and secondary education majors. The interns lived in the boarding school while they stayed at McCurdy, assisting in whatever way they could to the students. Four days aweek were spent in the classroom, and weekends were reserved for extended travel to the Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, Carlsbad Caverns and Colorado.
World Ca111pus Afloat
Seven Otterbein students went aboard the S.S. Universe Campus, participating in World Campus Afloat, this past fall. The ship's community included 350 students from all over the country, faculty and staff from various colleges and an excellent crew from Taiwan. Some of the highlights of the trip included seeing the Acropolis in Greece, riding camels in Egypt, bargaining at the covered bazaar in Turkey, shopping in Columbia, parties in the student union aboard ship and soaking up the sun near the pool. All in all, it was an unbeatable experience for all involved.

Religion in Life
The Campus Crusade held weekly mobilization meetings Friday evenings, and during the week groups stemming from them held Bible studies in the dorms, and many action groups of evangelism. A retreat was held at Camp Wesley to discuss creation. During the year they assisted the Red Cross Bloodmobile and _..,.; the Fire Relief Fund and helped move the girls of Cochran after the fire. Citywide C.C. worked with the "Here's Life Columbus" group in the I've Found It campaign.
Campus Christian Association -Agape - was a group of people from all walks of religious beliefs and activities that met on Sunday nights in the Red Tub to talk, sing and share their knowledge of life and experiences. A good chance to be heard and understood in asmall group setting.
Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a national organization of athletes committed to Christ and His teachings. F.C.A. aspires to confront athletes and coaches, and through them the youth of our nation with the challenge and adventure of following Christ and serving Him. The Otterbein FCA consists of 10-15 athletes who meet regularly for Christian fellowship and Bible study.
The Religious Activities Council moved from the house commonly called the Red Tub to Tavvers 1and Towers 15. Plans were enacted to provide aspace for meditation and fellowship, as well as a formal meeting room. The R. A. C. helped sponsor the controversial movie "The Ruling Class." They also held the annual Campus Sharing Days Auction. Led by D. Hines, many goodies were auctioned off. This year $431.50 was made and sent to World University Service. Winter found the Council helping sponsor the award winning movie, Ben Hur. In the spring, from April 4to 6, Religion in Life Week was held in the form of speakers and discussion topics. Food Day was also sponsored by the Religious Activities Council. 203 students donated their evening meals and a20mile hunger walk was held. CROP received $516.52 from these efforts.
