Marturion 1951

HISTORY OF SEN IOR CLASS As we look back over t hese past three years at B. B.I., our hearts are stirred by the memories of many experiences which have drawn us close together in b lessed fellowship in the Lord. We met most of our fellow s t udent s for the first time on Registration DBy, Sa t urday, Sept emb er 11, 1948. As we closely scrutin– ized those who were to b e our classroom com– pBnions, many first impressions were formed (which later proved t o b e wrong). With the opening of classes on Tuesday morn ing, Sep– temb er 14, an eager group of t wen ty-seven first yeAr students sat wai ting for the i r first lecture. At the faculty reception given i n our b ehalf, we were formally introduced t o our professors, b oard memb ers, and t heir wives. At first we were somewhat awed b y them, but after chatting together over cups of t ea, and participating in games, we found t hese no t a– b les to b e quite human . Our advisor, Dr. Foucar, and his wife entertained us with a Christmas party held i n their home. The highlight of the evening was the introduction of Vernon Web er to his "wife", who, when unmasked 1 proved t o b e Mrs. Paul McCullough. "Shocked' is a mild way of describ ing Vernon's reaction. With nine months of hard work and con– tinued blessing b ehind us, we said farewell to B.B.I. and our classmates unt il Septemb er. After three mon ths of vacat i on, work, rest, and diversified mean s of service for the Lord, we reconven ed on Septemb er 13, t o start our second year of prepara t ion for Hi s service. We missed the fellowsh i p of some who d i d not return , but we rejo ic ed tha t others join ed us t o help build up ou r ranks. We were again privileged t o have Dr . Foucar as our Advisor and were deeply g r a t e– ful for his guidance and c ounc i l. He and Mrs. Foucar again delight ed us with a second Chris t mas part y in thei r h ome. As j uniors, we en joyed working t oge ther t o give t he sen ior s of 1950 the fin es t b an– que t a gradua ting c lass ever had. As we b egan the las t lap of our tra ining a t B . B.

Prof ess or Pau l McCullough was our cla ss advisor for this le st yea r and we a re truly than kful for his help in this c apacity. ·.rhe grea t undertaking of our senior yea r was prepa ring the first yea rbook of B.B.I . It wa s more work than we ever dreamed of, but we are proud of the finished product. 21
