LETTER FROM MR. BRUCE GORDON
ACTING PRESIDENT
Dear Students:
The 1991-92 academic year has come and is almost gone. You have made friends who will last throughout this lifetime and on into the next. You have been touched by God and, I believe, God has been touched by you.
For the times we met in Chapel, for the times you burst into my office, for the times we prayed together and the times we dialogued in the hall, I thank you.
I will see some of you again and look forward to that. However, some of you I may not see again; to you I say, we will stand together when we see the King.
God has a special plan for each of you. He wants to accomplish great things through you and I'm sure He will! Stand firm! Don't waver! Build landmarks in your life which you can look back to and say "God did that!"
Someday, someone will say "Didn't
attend Ontario
Bible College?" to which I will reply, "He/she sure did and was part of the super student body of 1991-92!"
Bruce E. Gordon
WHAT A
What better way to start the school year off then with a retreat at Presquille Provincial Park, in Brighton? Water, sun- shine, and an enthusias- tic leadership team com- bined to make our retreat an amazing time . We sang, we swam, we surfed, and we slept. Truly a time of great reflection and pre- paring for the school year!
WELCOME, FRESHMEN!
Intramural football - it's that time of the school year when dorm spirit soars and sports injuries prevail. It was a great semester of football. Ya gotta love the loyalty of all those fans and crea- tivity of the cheerlead- ers! CONGRATULA- TIONS to Four South and OD's, winners of the fi- nals and the toilet bowl respectively. Thanks for an exciting and enter- taining season!
LIVING NEAR CONSTRUCTION
musings by Janet I lowlc
We stood staring at the seminary construction site, we threeat the window Kevin. Phil and myself pondering what the round circle in the middle of the court was intended to be. Phil mused. Perhaps a giant statue of Bill McRae?" Kevin mumbled assent. I guessed "Maybe they're recreating Stone Henge." Forgetting the fact that Stone Henge originated in a pagan culture. I dared to ask "Just what are they doing?"
But seriously. I love construction. One of the aspects I admire in the construction site supervisor is that he is the keeper of the vision. No matter how dishevelled the site looks, the man in charge knows how to bring order into it. There he stands, map in hand, waiting to distribute the tasks. This delegator knows both the work place and his crew well. He speaks to the men. encourages them in their tasks - he equips them. Sometimes he scolds them for mistakes made. Ifhe is a good and benevolent manager he doesn't hand out tasks that he wouldn't be involved with himself. He's not afraid to get his hands dirty.
In the same way we are construction workers in this work site called earth, and God is our supervisor.
Funny the things that come into your mind when looking out a window.

FIVE SOUTH
RA's - Lisa Josefik & Joy Hamilton
From toilet bowl to championship, the south gals cheered those wonderful men to victory! Who can forget some of those cheers — South, don't fall! And remember the Sunday brunches in the hall, the suicidal Kermit, the terminator, dancing in the hallway and in 543, fiddle music or Rita (the choice is yours), toilet paper or lack thereof, our ice-eating monster, dorm meetings, Bible studies, missing teddy bears, and piercing screams due to tickling. Eddie, our lounge (where is it?), sleepovers, noise, orange juice, fun. chocolate chip cookies (or just chocolate, period). We sure do have perfect RA's (Larry and Jim — is that their names?) who love to laugh and have fun. You don't have to tell me how great 5 South is! (What.)
FOUR SOUTH
RA's - Andre Turcotte & Trevor Hill
If I could put the feeling of the dorm into words it would look something like: SOUTHjfl RULESuehdSOUTHjdksRULESskidiSOUTHue neiRULES.
We had a dorm of diversity, with RA's to match. We didn't know which one to call 'Trou- ble". We enjoyed sweet success as we fought our way to the Flag Football Championships. We also enjoyed fellowship, not only with our fellow broth- ers on the fourth floor, but also with our sister dorm a flight above us. Can we forget waking up at 7:00am in the morning for exercises and prayer? Hats off (or better yet — let's shave our hair off) to a year filled with great memories of even greater times!
39
FIVE CENTRAL
If you're not from Central, I'll tell you what you are - you're a "central wanna-be"! And who wouldn't with Cathy and Wendy leading the way?
I'd like to thank Matilda for her guest appearances in Rm. 527. And who can forget the aroma of coffee flavour coming from our beloved RAs' room? Flatface's ride on the fan. and his other great excursions during our retreat, as well as Wendy's solitaire marathon will always be in our memories! Cards, anyone?
Cathy and Wendy, thanks for the year! Your open door, your encouragement, but mostly your outrageousness made Central the place to be. Thanks for the love and the laughter. May God bless you both richly.
Oh, and Cathy ... "It's a whale, silly."
Zephaniah 3:17

RA's - Glen Hesling

rd MacCormack
It started for most of us on a warm and sunny d in early September. We were met by some of the coaches who had already done some pre-season work — like our e listic announcement man, Dwayne, our athlete i "Big Bro", Greg, and of course, their co-workers, who 1 sure are mentioned elsewhere.
It is now that I'd like to introduce two other coai es who not only did a lot of pre-season work, but also pretty well had a game plan for the season planned out: "Hey Hey it's a Lumpy" — Gord MacCormack, and his agile Binbrookian partner. Glen Heslinga. These men had picked a qu< the play book which would hopefully help guide and trans- form us crazy, zipper-headed, serious, odd. gifted, funny, ±ioughtful, entertaining, committed, and very diverse group }f players into a cohesive, supportive, unified team that vould grow together and encourage each other individually. They also encouraged a closer relationship with the Ov ner )f the team, and by so doing, come "Under His Influence" in 1 Central. Thanks guys. Romans 15:5,6

FIVE NORTH
V
42
The girls of 5 North have gained their fame By dressing in purple and looking the same. "Everything I do, I do for you" This song unifies us through and through.
Bonnie and Heather, our beloved RA's Help us and care for us in their own special ways. Ping-pong they love to relieve their stress And their practical jokes are a big success.
Through rain, and sleet, snow, and hail — Our dedication to 4 North will prevail. We "tackled" the frigid temperatures to cheer Our 4 North guys who we hold so dear.
Dave the plumber is always around. Keeping our plumbing safe and sound. "Man on the floor", is his call. When he's here, we can't use a stall.
One body, but many parts — This verse we know in our hearts. Growing in love, it's easy to see. Sisters in Christ we'll always be! 1 Cor. 12:12
RA's - Bonnie Bryce Heather Spicer
FOUR NORTH
I would like to begin by making it clear that from this day forward, everyone is to call Jake Birch "Polkaroo" (the shirt?!). But enough lightheartedness. We on the "quiet end" of fourth floor would like to offer special thanks to our RA of the Lunar persuasion, who displayed a special talent for servant leadership in his treatment of a sink brim-full of vomit. Thanks to the babes upstairs for an unforgettable fine dining experience, and to all who tirelessly followed Brian around, cleaning up the drool during his impressive 85 hour caffeine-fest. A question: who is going to be left at prayer meetings after everyone moves out? Rob, Al, Brad. Mike. Blaine — we'll miss you. In conclusion, may I offer this summary of the year in the very poignant words of my rommate: "WOOF!" (thanks for the input, honey!). Tarn, yer da best! Someone call Pizzaville, for cryin' out loud.
RA's - Warren Morris & Tom Hardwich

THREE SOUTH
CLi
They say that third floor is dead; They also say that if you cross your eyes, they'll stay that way. But who are "they" anyway? They know diddlysquat — this floor's the best in the west! We girls have suffered through dive-bombing paper towel balls, hanging lingerie, vicious confetti wars, man-eating balloons, and the international shower torture. Isn't that right. Yogi and Booboo?
Led by the incomparable Bonnie Waterslide and Tapioca Pudding, we've learned how to scream at 1 1:00pm, eat supper at midnight, get kicked out of the kitchen at 1:00am. and toilet paper doors at 2:00am. Can we ever forget the vengeful Yuki. the organized Bonnie, the Tho't for Today, the lack of dishes and cutlery to eat with, the smell of the fridges, and all the other adventures we have had?
For those who dare to join us on third, beware of the screams in the night! Long live three south!
RA's - Bonnie Waterfall & Takako Yuki

THREE NORTH
It seems that every year there is something or some- one from each dorm that somehow characterizes it as unique. This year? Hmm... There has got to be something I could mention — something. I mean, that won't potentially dampen my life expectancy.
Seriously though, all we've got is individuality. For instance, how do you find a common bond between an in- ternational student and a hockey player? Or between an urban cowboy and an ex-serv- iceman? Or between Mark Rzadkowski and anybody?!
We didn't all believe that school had an official bedtime of 10:30. We didn't all feel that the most spiritual thing one could do in the morning was to go to chapel or pray over lunch. We never did anything together without "ladies and pizza present" — unless you counted our Thursday night "turtle feeding" when some- one would buy more goldfish.
No! Wait! We DO have one thing in common — none of us ever won a football game all season.

THE WAY WE
WERE
But as we take a very brief glimpse into the past, we realize that our school does see
changes — some big, some small.
It's easy for us to look at the OBC building, and OBC peo pie, and think things have always been this way.
Cheerleading squad - 1974
6th floor lounge - 1986
58
Dorm hallways - only 3 years ago!
OTS - a year ago
Dr. Duez - 1975
Growth and change are important ... let us fondly remember the past, and prayerfully look forward into the future.
59
s
ome of us have gained a I fond attraction to that sick
piece of land behind the school they call the parking lot. Not every bible college gets their own swimming pool, you know. But we all have our own horror stories, and our own tales of adventure, when it comes to the OBC parking lot. We've all experienced the ground-shaking, light-swinging, window-rattling effects of the SuperGrader as he occasionally levels the lot. We've all played "Dodge the Potholes" as we sought the Chubb door in the dark. And admit it ... we've all wondered how much Dr. McRae would like to park over past the Chubb door every day.
But let's face it. In no time, this lot will be paved over, and we can look back to this land of holes and muck, and tell the new freshmen the stories of our infamous, renowned parking lot. "That lot had character", we'll fondly say, and we may even be glad we were the ones who got to experience it at it's worst. It's kind of like those old desks in Room 251. Ask the Seniors.
"OBC Parking Lot ..."

A Note from the Student Council President:
I have been asked to summarize my year as OBC Student Council President. Well, it is something I never thought I'd do. and I didn't, not really. I think I have finally mastered the art of delega- tion and those to feel the effects have done works of supererogation (look it up!). I've been on Council before and I know that this one has been the most dedicated and willing to serve. In sum- mation I'd just like to say:

This year we had several groups that ministered in churches, schools, on the street... you name it. Our choir and octet are the ministry teams officially sent out to represent OBC/OTS. The other groups, however, also had several engagements throughout the school year, and committed themselves to many hours of practice and performance. Ask anyone on any of our ministry teams about their ministry, and they will likely tell you how exciting it is to have God use our simple sacrifices to bring glory to His name, and to share His love with others. It's truly a growing experience!

One Exciting
Step Changed
My Life!
After spending
16 years in the
sailboat
manufacturing
business, the
thought of being
the owner of a
successful sign
business was the
farthest thing
from my mind. However, my desire
to be involved more in ray
community and meet business
people from all walks of life led me
to a very exciting and unique
opportunity. Instant
Custom Signs was exactly what I
needed to reach my personal goals
in a profitable way, and to avoid the
boredom of a routine job.
Not only did our business expand to four times its original size in the first three years, but we have enjoyed the rewards of a Christian organization that exemplifies the true spirit of working together in harmony and love. Every day is exciting and no two are ever alike!
With ongoing training and leading-edge technology, we feel confident in knowing that our opportunities for growth will continue as we seek to do all things to glorify God.
