1984-1985 Yearbook

Classes? Webster defined it as a group sharing common attributes, a body of students meeting regularly to study the same subject or a group of students graduating together. In this case, classes were a group of students who have been classified by their total semester hours. Freshmen were those students who had less than 27 semester hours. They were the ones who were going through the biggest adjustment. Starting over was what they were doing whether fresh out of high school or after a couple of years in the job market. This was a year of new beginnings for them . A period of time that they found out about themselves and their God . Sophomores were those students who had less than 60 semester hours . They were like the middle child. Learning from the year before but still yearning for more . They grew academically, SOcially and spiritually. Juniors were those students who had less than 90 semester hours. They look back on their previous years as a time of growth, fun and SOrrOw. As they looked ahead, they did so with reservation. With only one year lett they needed to make several crucial decisions, whether to continue their education or to find a job. Finally , where all students hoped to be in four years, but taking some people five or more years, these can say, Graduating Seniors. In their three previous years they have experienced "Physical Joe," Inductions, JEP exams, Spring Sing weekend three times and approximately 588 chapels (if they attended everyday.) And most importantly, they had grown and become equipped with the necessary tools to enter the job market , but there were some seniors who decided to go on to graduate school. There were other classes at Harding that have not been mentioned, Graduate School and School of Biblical Studies students. Graduate students were those students who decided they needed a little more education in their fie ld . The School of Biblical Studies, the new name of the Christian Communications Program, restructured their program adding several key courses. These students studied intensely so they would become better servants for the Lord. The program was a two-year study. - Amy Fisher and Mac Sisco Classes Editors SOMETHING NEW IN Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Graduate Students 208 Classes 210 234 244 252 262 School of Biblical Studies Second Semester Students 263 264 - I I
