2005 Miracle Yearbook

Brown's Reception KGRATU1A The morning of April 17 dawned clear and sunny. After church and lunch, seniors still dressed in their Sunday best gathered at the upper level of the SSC to be taken off campus in university vans, an experience reminiscent of distant Young's Runs and small group outings only four years before This time, though, they were headed to the president's house. It was the beginning of the end Three time slots, beginning at 1:30,allowed seniors to sign up ahead of time and visit Dr. and Mrs Brown's home throughout the afternoon. A large blue and yellow banner greeted them with congratulations when they arrived, along with finger foods and punch, catered by Pioneer, at different tables throughout the yard Students sat on benches and stand in small groups, enjoying each other and waiting for their chance to speak with the Browns. Inside the house, seniors were free to roam the ground floor, taking photos by the seal in the fireplace, chatting in a front parlor, even singing around the piano Kristin Perry managed to get a photo of herself in a closet, while Beth Stahl used the bathroom, which she noted was "very floral Most students noticed how normal the house seemed. the day was a good reminder that the Browns,whatever their position, were real people,too Arlene Johnson noted, "The reception was really neat. It was a neat chance to fellowship with many other seniors,old friends aand close friends I loved the chance to meetthe Browns and have a chance to see where they live I was able to reconnect with some old friends and have some yummy snacks What a blessing to relax at the end of the year for a little bit with great friends." Dr. and Mrs. Brown greet seniors arriving at the reception.
