Clyde Cook
WANTED BY Univ. of Calif., USC, Stanford, UCLA
The really great high school athlete has no problems about going to college. His only problem is which college to choose. While in high school Clyde Cook of Laguna Beach, Calif, turned in a very impressive basketball record: he was selected on all-league teams, all-state teams, and was chosen as CIF Player of the Year as a senior, while establishing a s t i l l - s t a n d i n g individual league scoring record. Offers of scholarships came from the Uni versity of Ca l i f o rn i a , USC, Stanford, UCLA and others. Clyde considered"each — particularly USC---- then decided against them all. Clyde has a goal and he finally de cided that a liberal arts education at a Chris tian college would best fit him to reach that goal. The college he chose: B iol A Bible Col lege (a school of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Inc.). In choosing B iola he said, "I came here because of the high spiritual standards which are held, because of the strong em phasis on the study of the Word of God and because the students are constantly challenged to complete dedication to the will of God for their lives in Christian serv ice both here and in the foreign fields.” Clyde’s goal is the mission field (he was
born in Hong Kong where his mother was a missionary and his father a captain of a merchant vessel). And while he is preparing for this high calling he is using His basketball skill as a solid testimony for the Saviour. Clyde averaged 30 points per game this year in leading the B iola squad to a league cham pionship (14 wins, no losses). This summer he was selected to be a member of the "Ven ture for Victory” college all-star team spon sored by Youth for Christ International. The team is spending three months playing basketball games and conducting religious meetings in schools, army camps, hospitals, service clubs, prisons. The tour includes Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela. B iola offers a Bible College granting B.A. degree with majors in Bible, Christian education, public school education, psychol ogy (with emphasis on guidance and coun seling), music, English, history. In addition to B iola Bible College there is Talbot Theo logical Seminary, School of Mi s s i onary Medicine (an intensive one-year training in medicine for the prospective missionary and missionaries home on furlough) and two- year Bible Institute.
