IN MY HEART THERE RINGS A MELODY
because of what Jesus has done. He created this span of time that was our school year. We can only sing out with everything we do because God is so gracious to us! "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And lie hath put .a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God, many.shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord." Psalms 49 : 2,3

JACK WYRTZEN
HARRY BOLLBACK
STAFF & FACULTY
Jack And Harry Rally Between Rallies
It was a very big year for Jack Wyrtzen and Harry Bollback. On the road most of the time on a seemingly endless speaking cir cuit could get to be a drag if it weren't for the way God has worked in folks' lives all around the country. Students saw quite a bit of Jack and especially Harry during Snow Camp, and it seemed as though any time they had a spare moment they were on campus. Everyone enjoyed having Jack pop in to have supper and attend chapel from time to time, but they enjoyed it even more when they had the opportunity to take a trip to the Wyrtzen's for a meal. The Boll back home was a big center of activity most every weekend. Harry talked to quite a number of students during the year about future plans and gave some real direction, especially concerning missions. Praise God for the vision of these two men in starting the school and being here to rally us around the Word of God as well as the Word of Life.

Insight & Challenge Ring From the Word
The balanced approach of insight and chal lenge was characteristic of the Guest Lec ture crew. Starting out with Genesis and Dr. John White, who is about as popular here as a chicken in a fox den, the Word began to ring in our hearts. Also shown is Dr. Gibson (below) of church history fame. Dr. Murray showed the importance of Bible revival as shown in Nehemiah. Rev. Ollie Goad taught I Peter with real insight into the promised of the Word. Dr. Didden fascinated everyone with his study in Re velation and later in John. The thing that must stick in the mind of every student is the beautiful symmetry of the whole pro gram. Each man did a work that met the particular spiritual need on campus at that time. Only God works miracles like that, and all there is left is to praise Him that He did!
45
Mr. Brownback Enlarges Ministry
When you have a big job to do, you need a big man to do it. For the last four years, Paul Brownback has been that man to Word of Life Bible Institute. His banning and dedication have made the school what it is. He carries his hard work into the class room, too. He loved to delve into the most thought-provoking material, and each stu dent learned to appreciate his objectivity and spiritual understanding through it. He is seen here striking a familiar pose beside the podium, and one can also find him let ting his hair down to render "Mary Had a Little Lamb". Mr. Brownback exemplified the true characteristics of leadership and thereby won a true respect not dependent upon the position he held. Mr. Smith Proves Jack of All Trades Mr. Jerry Smith was truly a Jack of all trades. He taught hordes of courses, led a travel group, filled numerous speaking en gagements, directed Snow Camp, was ad visor for the yearbook effort, coached the basketball team, and even took time out to enjoy a good meal as seen in the upper left of this page. The picture to the lower left is a good representation of how his time was spent. Somehow, through all of this Mr. Smith remained a relaxed and easy going guy that anyone could like. Still a country boy at heart, Mr. Smith used the wealth of illustrations his background af forded along with an unusual ability to simplify the difficult as an effective teach ing tool. Also shown at the far left is Sandy Stock whose business it was to know all about everyone else's. As secretary at the Brownback-Smith complex, she had a lot of responsibility, but Sandy, a graduate, managed to fit in and enjoy this year's group as well.

Miss Hughes
Mr. Page Hub
of the Wheel
Friend, Dean
%
Who is president of the alumni club? Give up? Miss Carol Hughes heads it as she does many other programs. Besides keeping track of the women, which can't be taken lightly, one might find her busy in the office or just talking to f students, by her own ad-/ mission a favorite pastime. Students appreciate her openness of person and place, as you can see a visitor in her home most any time. Below is Miss Hughes en joying herself at the Sweet heart Banquet. Miriam Stark (bottom left), is the busy girl you meet in the outer office. Her easy-open personality makes Miriam one of us.
Mr. Page (far left) was the workhorse at the center of all the student activities this year. The author and finisher of the infamous demerit system also had the challenge of working it out so that everyone is in the right place at the right time. Also credit him with "Page's Page", that semi-regular literary gem. Every wheel needs a hub, and Mr. Page's gift of ad ministration fits him per fectly for the job. Mr. Page is also seen at page center in one of his finer moments. To see his Shakespearean talents displayed in such an out standing manner kept the cultured set happy.
Mr. Logan & Co.
Turn the Crank Even busier than many students this year was Dave Logan (right), and his staff. His main tasks included the operation of the work schedule, setting up of the weekend ministries, and taking care of the financial end of things. He was not left to fare for himself, however. The cheerful duo of Mickey Liming (above) and Sue Dusel (above right) combined their efforts with Mr. Logan's unique organizational talents to turn the crank and keep the school on track from a businessman's point of view.

Rev. Camilleri a Preaching Plan
Rev. Robert Camilleri (below) of nearby Mountainside Chapel, drew a special as signment — that of giving to the men a plan for preaching. His tool was expos itory preaching. He knew his stuff, and by the end of the year we knew his stuff, too, and were putting it to work reaching others with the Good News of the Word of God.
51
Dr. Master Big Future
Future Aussi Takes Cake
Mr. Twombly has had a lot to do outside of class this year, yet he made a real contribution to his students' lives. He is the first to have used taped lectures as a regular teach ing tool. Most appreciated were his principles for liv ing taken from his general overview of the scriptures. He used his own material in class, which he contin ued to develop throughout the year. Everyone seemed to be able to relate to his illustrations as they fre quently concerned his fam ily. His class is remember ed as a truly enjoyable one that yielded a wealth of information.
As new as the 1974 stu dent body was Dr. John Master, an amiable student of the Word from Dallas Seminary. A captivating teacher, his courses seemed to gather interest like ants to a picnic. At the end of the year, Dr. Master took over his new post as Academic Dean, a job his disposition and ability are tailor-made for. Ruth Dague had her head spinning with all she had to do, but seemed to get herself together for a smile or some help for a wan dering student.

Diversity of Gifts: the Maintenance Men
There are a group of men seen darting around campus like elves fixing things, plugging holes, and trying to be some help in keeping the place outfitted. They dis play a multitude of different talents from plumbing, to carpentry, to electrical work, and most especially vehicle maintenance. Any system will run down by itself without an outside source to energize it. The main tenance crew not only accomplishes this, but even manages to improve upon the place. Two of the top men here are Ira Morrison and Werner Katzenberger, shown on this page. Praise God for bringing these men where they can use their gifts and abil ities to serve the school and the Lord in turn.

Dorm Supervisors Deacons of Wolbi
The term "dorm supervisor" brings to mind a difficult to convey idea in the minds of the WOLBI students. It could bring to mind a 3x5 slip with one's own name on it, or just a friend, or maybe someone who ives in the dorm and fills every post from moth er to policeman. Obviously, as those in charge, their personalities become some what charicatured in people's minds. On these two pages there are some shots that may either tickle or destroy one's notions. First, Bryce Donely in a vaguely familiar role with some keen competition from Wes Walton on his right who is leading the stu dent body in the words and motions of "I Want to be a Rancher". Jim Rich (lower left) puts his acting ability to work, and Mary Jane Love is — well, what is she doing ?
59
Bible Clubs What's That?
Bible Clubs is that group of thirty or forty students manning thirteen outposts called clubs in the Adirondack area. The mission is to win and disciple teenagers. John Spring (right) is the student leader for the clubs, having taken over after the death of Steve Rich, who went home to be with the Lord while on a Bible Club ministry in the fall. John's enthusiasm and zeal spread to the troops as students showed the clubbers a well-rounded program of evangelism, Bible study, Snow Camp, and area round ups. The tremendous amount of energy and preparation that went into Bible Clubs paid off in rich dividends of hundreds of lives changed and channelled into churches.
60
Student Council Injects Life
Led by Paul Neable (left), the student body president, the student council did their work in keeping things hopping. The coun cil invented, organized, and planned the banquets, trying to pick a diversity of themes. The big project for the year was the missionary gift raised from the students for Mr. Twombly. They really advocated a giving missionary spirit, as from time to time an offering would be taken to help out a fellow student in need. The council seemed a real success in injecting life into the social and spiritual life. Left to right: Paul Neable, pres.; Sharon Kreider, miss, sec.; Stan Hueni, treasurer; Rick Warken, chaplain; Janice Anderson, sec.; John Spring, vice-pres.
61
How to Put a Year in a Yearbook
How to put twelve months in less than one hundred-twenty pages was puzzle faced by the staff personnel. The ticklish job was handled by Vicki Todd (upper left), who handled some organization and typing. Also in on the act was Rosemary Curran, who worked on the layouts, and Terry Manahan (left) behind the business manager's desk. Busy as a beaver in a furniture store keep ing this whole ball rolling was editor Scott Garber, who spent most of his time at a desk doing the things that few would recog nize by name. The realization of the goal of putting a year in a book is a future thing for the staff, because it occurs in the mind of each individual.
62
Cup of Water ( +2 Aspirin) Rewarded
The two hospitable hostesses of the bus tling infirmary are Pat Gebert and Dawna Garland. Here is a typical scene. They are in their kitchen when they hear a cry for help. Pat rushes in, takes the patient's temperature, and finds the condition to be serious. She races to the medicine chest and extracts the wonder drug. Donna then speeds the precious antidote down the hail. The result: another smiling happily-ever- after case for our girls in uniform.

From Creation to How to Live in It
•*!»'*• *■*MMttM t
Special speakers covered a variety of sub jects in top-notch fashion. Men such as Dr. Henry Morris and his son of Creation Research, Dr. Charles Ryrie from Dallas Seminary, and teacher-lecturer-author Jay Adams sought to challenge us from varied perspectives. Another highlight in this area was the missionary conference. Seen here at the upper left is Al Larson, presi dent of UFM and keynote speaker of the week. Also shown are Rev. Fruchtenbaum (ABMJ), Rev. DeSmit (EUSA), Blanche Hamilton (BCM), and our own Mr. Twom- bly, all repeating the message of missions.

REACHING YOUTH ON FIVE CONTINENTS WITH THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST
— BIBLE INSTITUTES — YOUTH CAMPS
CLUBS — RADIO —T.V. — LITERATURE
LET IT NOT BE SAID Let it not be said that Word of Life doesn't support its school. Here are three guest lecturers whose faces may seem vaguely familiar. There is Jack Wyrtzen, founder and director of Word of Life, Don "Robbie" Robertson, and Don Hillis, head of the Australian team.

"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope...For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, .. .and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." IN MEMORY OF OUR BROTHER STEVE RICH

Name: Wolbi Joe Assignment: Work!
The time everyone looks forward to is that three hour wonder called work assignment. Some had opportunity to learn new skills and use old ones, such as Sue Shaw at the left. Dave Rich (below) seems to have the bad job, but at least he gets some good dirty exercise. Most fun of all goes to the pot crew, with Bob Rexxon and Dennis Camp. Some of the men assigned to main tenance even drew snowmobiles. Work is what you make it. Many found it out.

Melody of Love Sings On Weekends
Weekend at WOLBI means excitement. It is the tingle in the air that means visiting a new place, singing to a new crowd, and most of all telling those who do not know about the Saviour. Above is the arrival at the church as everyone stretches their mu- muscles after the bus ride. At the far left is Kevin Prosser involved in a familiar scene, a casual person-to-person con frontation that resuits in changed lives. In the evening there is a rally for the young people, and WOLBI students join right in. In the morning students take Sunday School classes in which they minister while they practice. In the upper left is a tender scene. After the usual weekend ministry ail one can do is collapse. However, it is worth it all over and over.

EATING — 4 VIEWS Apart from study and sleeping, eating is the biggest acti vity going. Just to share a few thoughts on the mastication of edibles, why not look at some eaters in action? First of all there is the soul who chooses to believe that institution al food does not exist, and every time he touches the chair he transports himself to an expensive cafe on the Riviera, where he can eat taste-tingling delicacies un known to the mundane cafeteria people that fill this world. He eats in style as he ponders the close relationship be tween peanut butter and dried "Gravy Train". There is always somebody at the table who stirs his cof fee for twenty-five minutes, leaves the sugar wrappers strewn like autumn leaves, gets up, and walks out the side door. Though giving the impression that he is in a train of thought that may change the world in the next few moments, his brain is probably working about as hard as his stomach, as he stirs his coffee. He enjoys the rest and peace his mind can enjoy while doing nothing more important than conjuring up dishes compatible to peanut butter. Another common eater is the Blab-o-matic. He sees the dinner hour as a mutual counseling session between him self and the world. He unloads all of his problems on the others around, and expects them to do the same to him. He will solve them all, of course. This type can be rather harmless if he mumbles to himself, but there is the ever-present threat of the excited eater. He shovels a huge quantity of mixed food between his flying jaws. Blab-o-matic loves oeanut butter, because it holds every thing in while he talks. That saves him from constantly rounding up his food, as he never takes time to swallow anything. He commonly concludes his meal by settling back to a loud belch. Finally, there is the banquet-goer supreme. He is the mannerly type who eats sparingly, saving it all up for the big moment when he can delve his chops into a huge spread. He piles his plate like a pyramid, but then has to fight a battle as his pyramid sinks and engulfs his entire plate, top and bottom, while he waits in line. This is one who really enjoys the big affair and likes to start at the top of his creation and work to the bottom. Though he looks like a class expert from head to toe, the banquet-goer sometimes cannot resist the urge. As he reaches that last juicy dill pickle, he sneaks his hand into his coat to pull out a container of, you guessed it, peanut butter.

WOL COLLEGIANS ONE SONG TO SING The choir was eighty voices blended into one sound. That sound was the voice of the gospel, and the music told the story well. It is one thing to sing and see peo ple pleased and entertained, but as the Collegians found, quite another to see people saved and encouraged through singing. The first quarter was hurry-up-and-learn time, because the group sang for the first time on the fourth weekend of school. They split up into four groups for weekend acti vity, and the program of music and testi mony proved effective in the church minis tries. It was also an excellent way to catch a glimpse of growing churches and to tuck some of their successful methods away for future use. After limited activity in the second quarter Snow Camp, the spring came. The most trying yet meaningful time of the year was here. Long three-day weekends with three or four performances took its toll, but there was a real joy in seeing folks respond to the mesage of "The Last Week". Another blessing was that of being able to travel all over the east. We cannot pass without mentioning the busses. Whenever there was a dull moment, the busses filled in with every sort of breakdown imaginable. They kept life in the long excursions, how ever. There is no way to get around all the work the choir put in, but God honors our hard work with a rich harvest of souls for his glory.

SNOW CAMP!
"Snow camp is characterized by activity" had to be the understatement of the year. From 4:00 Friday evening to Sunday night there were some four hundred-fifty scream ing stampeding snow campers witn vocal cords of steel cable running around like ants on hamburger. Mr. Smith, head of the camp, had the students all primed and ready to go. Things went fast and furious and the counselors had to be on the ball. Chasing down stray campers, extracting fat lazy ones from bed, cleaning the rest rooms at the end of the weekend, and gen erally acting a fool to keep campers ex cited were some of the joys of counseling. The results were tremendous. Tens and hundreds poured down the aisles during the invitations, and counseling sessions yielded yet more decisions for Christ. Though most WOLBIers felt like a wet pretzel after it was all over, what God did in lives made the next week a new and greater excitement. Shown on this page are just a few unforgettables that made snow camp what it was.

Friday Night And Other Funny Things
Despite the beehive atmosphere at the In stitute, there were a few relaxing times. Friday night was one of them. There was usually roller-skating, intra-murals, and of course the nearby towns to visit if one could convince himself that there was ac tually something there to see. The talent show turned out to be a three-ring circus, with some talent that made your sides shake. Don Smith (upper left) was good for a slick impression of Mr. Brownback. Just to the right is John Velez and Dave Willoughby handing us "No-No-N-No". Rick Warken and Jimmy Balsano did a duet using nose, mouth, and legs. Lower right is unmistakably Elvis, who made his debut that night. Below is the Hillbilly band, comprised of whoever felt goofy enough to get involved.

There is a song that tells a story of a life, of a piace, of a people never before one and never again, but here united to learn this song under the direction of the Master Composer. Soon comes opening night, and the song will be performed before a hostile audience. It will take more than a good message; it must come from our hearts. Above all we must not forget to follow the Conductor. What will it be? Will your song be rewritten or rearranged to fit the situation, or will it be the same song, so faithfully taught to you, going out to all the earth? What ecstacy it would be to hear a multiplied body of those who heard our song singing that melody of love forever. That is our joy and crown of rejoicing. That is worth living for.
