for

the construction of the

new

the opening

of

school,

September

20, 1971.

The

Chairman

Roy

the

Board

of Directors,

and Student B o d y

President, Dan Cameron, realized

t h e i r a c t i o n o n l y

symbolized

t h e way

many more of God s

have b e en

used

by

Him to make t h i s

The 300 people who

witnessed the

occasion were,

KEEPS GROWING-327 STUDENTS

Another

record

enrollment was re

corded this f a l l as327

tudents sig ned

up

for

classes.

This enrollment is

t r i p l e

the enrollment (110) of f o u r

years ago. t

is

especially

significant

when realized that a

very

large pe r

centage of

these

students are attending

f u l l time,

making

a f u l l

time equivalent

of

303 students.

We

a r e pleased

t h a t

there seems

o

be

a growing percentage

of

men

students.

This

gives promise

of

more

gospel preachers i n the years

ahead.

The men

outnumber

women

by

a significant margin this

Fall.

We

thank God

f o r t h e l a r g e

number

and

the f i n e q u a l i t y of students t h a t

are enrolling. A large

number

—

about

30

—

of very

fine transfer student
