The freshman experience

can be a bit overwhelming

as one sets foot on a

college campus for the first

time as a student. All the prep time

and anticipation morphs into reality

as the car(s) is quickly unloaded

on a Wednesday morning and a

residence hall becomes home in a

matter of minutes. New beginnings,

new friends, new schedules, a new

home. Welcome to York College!

It was a busy

o r i e n t a t i o n

schedule the first

few days, including

a c a d e m i c

advising, campus

tours, and get-

t o - k n o w - y o u

sessions wi th

Student Association, club reps, and

YC Campus Ministries. A cookout

at President Eckman’s home, free

bowling, a concert by alumni Josh

Cleveland and Todd Truitt, and a

soccer scrimmage accompanied

by a tailgate party were among the

evening activities.

As returning students made their

way back to campus on Saturday,

freshmen were busy with service

projects. With the help of Campus

Ministries, Student Association, and

some residence hall staff, orientation

groups spent the day scraping and

painting three houses in town.

During the first week of classes,

the town of York gave their own

welcome with a community fair,

which included free prizes and a

picnic dinner on the courthouse lawn.

Soren Tobey and Haley Brewster are ready for the year to begin.

Block Party hosted by YCM

and Student Association. With

ideal weather for the evening

fellowship, the party once again

occupied Kiplinger Avenue in

front of the residence halls.

To cap off a great evening, a

student-organized talent show

made the party complete.

A few weeks later

the students took to

the streets again for

the annual Yorkfest

Parade, passing candy

out to the bright-eyed

children that lined the sidewalks.

Aside from volleyball being out of

town for games, every possible

athletic team was represented

along with the Concert Choir and a

scattering of faculty and staff. Around

200 students were involved, making

the college’s entry the largest in

the event. The parade provided a

great venue for getting students out

in the community and to show the

college’s appreciation for all of the

town’s support.

What goes around,

comes around used to

be a lot more prevalent

with YC Club Week.

The measure used by upperclassmen

on their pledges would in turn be the

measure given the following year. But

that attitude has been replaced with

one of close community as members

of club, old and new, take part in the

week-long bonding experience at the

end of September.

After a few weeks of getting to know

some of the particulars of clubs and

their members, freshmen and transfer

students are able to pledge one that

they feel best fits their personality.

The mail room on Monday morning

ushers in Club Week with a flood

of students anxious to know if

they were drafted into their club

of choice. The days to follow are

filled with intense fellowship,

friendly competition, abundance

of fun, conversations around

food, and a community service

project. Every club strives to build

relationships, while serving God and

one another. In general, clubs provide

a way for students to get involved on

campus and build friendships that can

last a lifetime.

its first Coronation as the

to honor for the year. Coordinated

outfits, quickly choreographed

moves, interpretive dances, and of

course some sweet serenading were

all part of the evening mix.

Chase Craddock once again

served as emcee and relied on his

assistant Parker Seilstad to run

the music. The evening was full of

entertainment and laughter as new

club members put on a pedestal the

chosen sweethearts and beaus for

the year.

Homecoming 2013

York College welcomed several

hundred guests to campus

over its annual Homecom-

ing and High School Days

weekend, October 11-13. Alumni returned

to campus to relive their great college

memories, while prospective students and

their families visited to see all that York

College has to offer.

The weekend included an alumni

golf scramble, the fall theatre production

of Strange Boarders, Athletic Hall of

Fame induction of Dr. Roger Collins,

alumni chapel, a choir concert, academic

showcase, financial aid workshop, and

several volleyball and soccer games.

At half-time of the men’s soccer

game versus Presentation College,

the YC Homecoming court paraded

across the field. Homecoming Queen

Breanna Stewart, a psychology

major from Centennial, Colo., and

King Caleb Connolly, a biology

major from Sacramento,

Calif., were crowned. Both

women’s and men’s soccer

teams saw a Homecoming

victory on the field and the

volleyball team won in

four sets over Grace

University.

The l ighthearted theatre product ion

of Strange Boarders was the perfect

selection for Homecoming weekend. As

quoted by Director John Baker—“just

good clean fun.” Baker described the show as “cops

and robbers, without the cops.” It was a hilarious

good guys versus bad guys story, with elements of

romance, comedy and suspense thrown in. Originally

written in 1947, Baker says Strange Boarders has

all of the tropes of that era: mysterious strangers,

fedoras and dark suits, a bank heist, and a reward

for capture of the bad guys as motivation for some quick thinking do-gooders.

Leading lady Briana Van Deusen described her character as eccentric, artistic,

and optimistic. As the operator of a boarding house, Cordelia is determined to

make it on her own and won’t accept the marriage proposal of a determined suitor

until she’s proven her independence. Cordelia’s main flaw is her propensity to trust

people a little too much.

When she ends up housing some thieves disguised as schoolteachers followed

soon by gangsters and thugs, Cordelia learns that while

independence is important, you’ve got to rely on your

friends when things get dicey.

Everyone tries to act normal, in a very abnormal situation. (above)

All work and no play makes

Jack a dull boy, or in the

case of a YC student, you

need some fun down time

to make up for all the book learnin’ that

goes on. Built into the fall semester

are several of those “let loose” events

that gets everyone into the spirit of

the moment and forget their worries

for a while.

SA’s Halloween Party and the

soccer teams’ Sketchy Tuesday

seem to feed the need to go crazy

with the wardrobe and just be silly.

Costumes range from the deranged

and offbeat to the classic and

creative productions. Whatever the

style, participants seem to enjoy the

comic relief and that everyone’s in

the moment together.

This was the second year

for Autumn Fest hosted by Student

Association at the Wessels Living

History Farm. Complete with

pumpkin decorating, hay rides, lots

of food, and some interesting two-

steppin’ moves in barn, the evening

proved to be therapeutic and a great

time away from studies.

19One-Acts 19

The York College Theater Department presented the annual Emerging Director One-Acts the weekend of November 15 and 16. The plays were the capstone projects of theatre major directors Jasmine Agee,

Lauren Post, and Morgan Goracke. The student directors were busy during the semester selecting a script, designing the set and costumes, auditioning and coaching a cast, and all of the thousand small details that go into directing a show. It’s a hands-on lesson that has an immediate and practical impact on the theatre majors’ education.

In Memoriam, directed by Agee, is a thriller about five people who have all been invited to a castle on an island. Cast members soon realize that they have all been invited by different people but all have one thing in common: murder. As the guests start disappearing, the audience moved to the edge of their seats, wondering who the real killer could be.

For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls, directed by Post, is a parody of the classic The Glass Menagerie. The fading Southern belle, Amanda, tries to prepare her hyper-sensitive son, Lawrence, for “the feminine caller.” Terrified of people, Lawrence plays with his collection of glass cocktail stirrers. Ginny, the feminine caller, is hard of hearing and overbearingly friendly. Brother Tom wants to go the movies, where he keeps meeting sailors who need to be put up in his room. Amanda tries to face everything with “charm and vivacity,” but sometimes she just wants to hit somebody.

Eisegesis, directed by Goracke, follows the story of Mr. Arnold Halsworth who wakes to find himself trapped alone in a mysterious prison cell, enclosed not by walls and doors but by a bizarre otherworldly void. While he attempts to reason through his situation, two strange men enter from the nothingness and overpower Mr. Halsworth, presenting him with a staggering accusation: that he is humanity’s most heinous criminal.

Food & Fellowship20

Grand Finale Food and Fellowship

As each semester comes to a close, food and fellowship seem to take a higher priority among the students. Whether it’s pre-finals breakfast, an ice cream social, Campus Ministries pancake feed, or just getting together with those in your inner circle, those final moments with friends aren’t to

be wasted. Faculty and staff step up their involvement outside the classroom to help bring some of these special times into play and to wish students the best in a great finish to their studies.

Season of RenewalShine Retreat

DeVon King, Corey Holmes, and Jacob Wilson listen intently. (right)

When it comes time for spiritual renewal and fellowship for YC students, there’s nothing better than the mid-winter Shine

Retreat. Away from the daily distractions of campus, the escape to Timberlake Ranch is an annual mecca for those seeking rejuvenation and a break from the routine.

Willie Sanchez and the campus ministry staff did a terrific job in organizing the getaway, utilizing the talents of several faculty and staff as group leaders. Derek Lambert came over once again from Lincoln to lead the worship

times. YC alumnus Josh Cleveland pulled double duty during the retreat as both a keynote speaker and musician. Students got a lot out of what he had to say and his acoustic concert highlighted the entertainment portion of the time on the ranch.

There were no shortage of activities at the ranch with card games, basketball, volleyball, and paintball available during free time. Helping in the kitchen, vegging out, catching up on sleep, and the occasional work on a course assignment were all part of scene.

Willie Sanchez prays with Tim Lewis for God’s blessing on his talk.

Morgan Moore and Courtney Lovelace enjoy the speaker.

An active worship song is just what these guys need to warm up.

Set in England during the Blitz, the compelling WWII drama Front reveals the untold stories of a number of individuals and families who must come to terms with war and the horrors

and tragedies it creates. This includes Judith (Morgan Goracke) a proud matriarch, who works in a factory that makes bomb detonators; her missing husband, Frank; and their two children, Angie and Tom, who are forced to grow up much too quickly.

“These women had to go from being homemakers to being bomb makers and breadwinners. The show is about their struggle to find hope in the midst of darkness,” Morgan said. There were humorous and light-hearted moments in this poignant show, described as a drama with heart. The message of the production is overcoming tragedy and learning “how to create a new normal when everything has changed.”

A number of other war-torn individuals are also profiled, most of them women who have been left behind as their brothers, husbands, and sons have gone off to fight.

An interesting element of this production was the involvement of the show’s author, Robert Caisley.

Caisley was in contact with cast members and director John I. Baker III frequently as they prepared for the show, answering questions and giving insight into the production as he had envisioned it.

Vision Trek A Walk in the Woods

York College Vision Trekkers spent a week of spring break trekking over 30 miles through the Ozark mounta ins o f

southeast Missouri...sharing experiences, devotionals, and weather ranging from 70’s and sunny to 20’s and rainy, along with some snow showers.

After a seven-year break from Vision Trek, Dr. Shane Mountjoy decided it was once again time to introduce students to the wild. The trip left soar muscles, ruined clothes, and many blisters in its wake, but also new friendships, memories, and bonds that far outweighed the physical pain. This was not an experience to miss.

The 37th annual Songfest production was once again a crowd pleaser as about a fourth of the student body put their lives on hold during

the spring semester to bring the Campbell Center to life. Under the direction of Mrs. Amy Fraser, months of planning, designing, creating, and rehearsing went into the three-night event with its closing finale on Saturday night of the High School Days weekend.

Brianna Bailey, Haley Brewster, Nicole Gates, Nolan Henningson, Drew Leonard, and Matthew Miller played host to the production and were a wonderful compliment to the club shows. Delta Chi Alpha and Kyodai went safari style as they did a mix of

tunes from Around the World while Beta Beta Sigma a n d K o i n o n i a pulled out all the

tricks and dazzled the audience with a g r e a t M a g i c Show. Though few in number Omega Phi and Kingsmen entertained with their rendition of Summertime, and T h e t a P s i a n d Sigma Tau brought the curtains down w i t h a S e v e r e Weather Warning production.

After Saturday night’s performance, clubs anxiously awaited with the audience to hear the judges’ tally of their three-night production. Sigma Tau and Theta Psi swept the year’s awards for Best Music, Best Costumes, Best Choreography, and Best Theme, earning them the 2014 President’s Award.

Dana Penze and Tehia Goben know that there ain’t no cure for the Summertime Blues.

Jack and the Beanstock Traveling Children’s Theatre

The story of Jack and the Beanstalk is one of the classics of children’s theatre. The famous fairy tale is full of magic and centers on Jack,

a boy who is sent to town to sell the family cow. On the way, he encounters a mysterious woman who offers him some magic beans for the animal. Jack agrees to the deal, but when he returns home, his mother scolds him and throws the beans out the window. In the morning, Jack finds a beanstalk that has grown up in full view of the audience, and he can not resist climbing it.

Up in the Giant’s house, above the clouds, Jack is nearly caught in a breathtaking chase over the stage, and escapes only with the help of the Giant’s wife. Then as Jack climbs toward home, there is a beautiful and magnificent scene on the beanstalk, where the Man in the Moon tests his courage. Jack

proves his mettle by finding a way not only to rescue the Giant’s wife, but also to save his own mother from Rafe Heywood’s greedy schemes. And when he finally chops down the beanstalk — with the Giant on it — the audience is jubilant.

The cast of thirteen York College students performed their show more than 20 times over the course of the spring semester in Nebraska and Colorado. This was John Baker’s 17th season directing the YC production.

Rafe Heywood’s greedy schemes come to light early in the play.

With Giant in hot pursuit, Jack chops down the beanstalk.

To the dismay of Bessy, Frihol makes Jack an offer he can’t refuse.

Year-EndCelebration

All-College Banquet

It was a special night of dressing up and taking a short road trip to McCool Junction as SA hosted the annual All-College Banquet

at the Stone Creek Event Center. As always, the menu items in the buffet were abundant and delicious, topped with a tough decision of cheesecake options. During dessert, an entertaining slide show of the year was shown.

Chase Craddock, ICC President, kicked off the honors for the evening with the club awards followed by Todd Sheldon recognizing years of employment among faculty and staff. Dr. Ray Miller headed the esteemed list with his milestone benchmark of 30 years. Others honored were Brent Magner - David and Nellie Reppart Service Award, Susan Van Deusen –

Staff Member of the Year, and Christi Lones – Faculty Member of the Year.

The grand finale of the program was the presentation of Mr. and Ms. York College for 2013-14. YC faculty and staff make the selection for this award from among graduating seniors, using leadership, involvement, academic performance and personality as the criteria. Honors this year went to York natives and second-generation YC students Andrew Rush and Macy Mountjoy.

Well Done2014 Commencement

On May 8 friends and family gathered in the Campbell Student Activity Center to see the class of 2014 complete their “York Experience” as they crossed the stage to collect their diplomas, along with a hand-

shake and a hug from President Eckman. It was a big class as one hundred and two students received their bachelor’s degrees.

Senator Greg Adams gave the commencement address. Adams, formerly the mayor of York and currently the speaker of the Nebraska Legislature, spoke about the importance of respect. Adams told students that the human need to be respected is “almost as important as your need to breathe or take nourishment.”

“When your life comes to an end, how do you want to be known?” Adams challenged. “Today you are respected. You have earned it,” he said, encouraging students to continue to lead lives worthy of respect.

At the conclusion of the commencement address, Dr.

Molly Bartee gives Varlencia Winters a big congratulatory hug.

Dr. Jackie Spivey and Cara Kroeker celebrate with Joe Madison.

Shane Mountjoy, York College provost, presented the Dean’s Award to Amber Clark, a business administration major from Appleton, Wisconsin, who graduated summa cum laude. The award is the highest academic honor given by the faculty to a graduate whose involvement and leadership are matched by their high academic success.

At the conclusion of these honors, President Eckman shook each graduate’s hand as he presented them with their earned diploma. Seniors were then hooded by a relative or close friend.

At times going beyond the classroom takes learning to a whole new level. Students took the role of teachers at the end of the fall semester when they

hosted York-area elementary students at the Cultural Geography Fair in the Mackey Center. Mongolia, Greece, Ireland, Fiji, Laos, Haiti, Oman, Romania, Nepal, Ethiopia, Peru, and the Dominican Republic were all part of the mix as presentations included food, games, music, activities, and other fun items on display.

After graduation, Tim and Bev McNeese took Tiffany Cole, Michael Hartman, and Lauren Post on a two-week Virginia study-tour that included stops at Colonial Williamsburg, Monticello, Jamestown Settlement, and a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural marvel Fallingwater.

In mid-July, Erin DeHart chaperoned a group of eight students and YC alumni on a ten-day Holocaust study trip. Each person in the group

was impacted in a personal way as they visited historical memorials, landmarks, and concentration camps in Berlin, Germany, Krakow, Poland, and Amsterdam, Netherlands. YC students that accompanied DeHart were Kelsey Buglewicz, Kayla Durham, Trey Sokolik, and Jameson Trauger,

Student Association was constantly on the go in serving the YC campus and providing a ton of social events for the year and giving everyone a

voice in improving their college experience. Kicking things off for SA was the annual

Kiplinger Block Party with YCM. Early in the fall semester, SA organized a special chapel to introduce the Homecoming candidates and then continued those responsibilities with the weekend crowning ceremony. This was the second year for SA to host Autumn Fest at the Wessels Living Farm. The carnival-like atmosphere was enjoyed by the students and provided a great place to two-step. Always popular with students were the movie nights:

Star Trek Into Darkness, Gravity, Thor 2, Frozen, The Lego Movie, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Also part of SA’s offerings were Midnight Madness, Halloween Party, Tournament Week, the campus Christmas Party, Super Bowl Party, Singled Out, and an Easter Egg Hunt which boasted incredible prizes and cash.

At year’s end they helped put on a wonderful All-College Banquet at McCool Jct. and honored Susan Van Deusen as Staff Member of the Year and Christi Lones as Teacher of the Year. SA’s special project was new furniture for one of the classrooms in Sack Hall.

YCM Campus Ministries

Campus Ministr ies had a very visible presence on the YC campus as they made a difference in the l ives

of students. At the beginning of the academic year, they were out in force as they helped new students unload and check into their residence hall. They served as group leaders for orientation and assisted with the Saturday service projects, painting three different houses in the York community and then followed that up the next day by helping organize the welcome back block party on Kiplinger Avenue.

YCM staff was very involved with the year’s course of daily chapel, 9’o clock, Wednesday Night, dorm devotionals and social events, and planned the all school “Deal or No Deal” game night. As always, the big event was the February Shine Retreat at Timberlake Ranch. The annual winter getaway had the theme of “Yes, But No More” and dealt with the fact that we are all sinners, but by making God real and personal, we can live a life that is truly changed. Willie Sanchez completed his first year as YC Campus Minister.

The 65-member Concert Choir delivered inspiring and edifying performances throughout the Midwest under the direction

of Dr. Clark Roush, Endowed Chair for the Performing Arts. Their Winter Tour over the Christmas break included concerts in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma. A memorable

moment was when a winter storm cancelled their Springfield c o n c e r t , y e t t h e h o s t i n g congregat ion paid for their h o t e l r o o m s a n d s u p p e r

at Cracker Barrel. The choir paid i t forward wi th an impromptu performance at the restaurant which was captured on video and went viral on the web.

They performed their Spring Works Concert, Wings of Reverie, to a nearly packed auditorium at the First Presbyterian in April. Kay Magner provided the evening’s piano accompaniment and John I. Baker III was the evening’s orator. The concert was recorded and made available on YouTube.

The choir recorded a CD titled I’m Gonna Sing at the end of the year featuring their 2013-14 repertoire. Dr. Roush completed his 28th year at York College.

Celebration Singers made the Gurganus stage come alive once again with their end of semester performances of Cocoa and

Carols and CineMagic. In December their four-day production “The Best Time of the Year: Music and Memories of Christmas” was sold out in advance of opening night. The family-friendly production featured a variety of solo and ensemble numbers, including beloved Christmas favorites with choreography and skits. The admission price of $5 included cocoa and cookies that the local chapter of Helping Hands made available.

The Singers presented their high-energy spring production, CineMagic, on April 22 and 23, but because of a power outage

on opening night, they went the extra mile and gave an encore performance o n M a y 7 t h . Audiences packed Gurganus Hall for al l three nights. The show featured a wide variety of music f rom wel l known Hollywood movies, including Frozen, Skyfall, O Brother Where Art Thou, High School Musical, Grease, and others.

Amy Fraser was in her fourth year as director of the ensemble.

Parker Seilstad went rogue with his own style in the O Brother, Where Art Thou medley.

Ryne Smith entertained the crowd in his rendition of Old Time Rock and Roll.

Ali Linstad’s solo, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, was an instant classic.

The group has fun with some team building skills in the fall semester. (above)

In only the second year since its re-organization, the York College speech team competed this spring in the National Forensics Association tournament, hosted

by Eastern Michigan University.Joe

Davis, Nolan Henningson, Shelby Jordan, and Caroline Seilstad represented

York College on the national stage, all four presenting duo pieces. Davis and Jordan each competed in the prose event as well, and Henningson qualified in his dramatic interpretation.

As a team, York College tied for 15th out of 39 schools in its category.

“There’s obviously a learning curve for our whole team since this was our first time at nationals,” said coach Shannon Leinen, assistant professor of communication. “They’ve worked hard and I know they will continue to do great things.”

It’s one big happy forensics family in front of the York College sign.

York’s chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honors Society, grew in numbers with the induction of seven students in the fall semester. The group stayed busy with its weekly meetings,

a Christmas party, co-sponsoring the Writer’s Workshop, and producing the annual edition of Unvarnished Words, a collection of creative prose, poetry, artwork, and photography from York College students.

The 2nd Annual York College Writer’s Workshop, sponsored by the English Dept. and Sigma Tau Delta, was honored to host Twyla Hansen, Nebraska Poet Laureate on March 23. The occasion was successful, in part, due to the active participation of Sigma Tau Delta members at both the Poetry Reading and the actual 2-hour Writer’s Workshop with Twyla Hansen. Approximately 40

people from the community and the college attended. The event was also sponsored and funded by the Nebraska Humanities Council.

Students inducted this year into Sigma Tau Delta were Quentin Becker, Danielle Berry, Kyle Bottom, Tiffany Cole, Morgan Goracke, Tyler Helms, and Bethany Miller. Beverly McNeese was the lead sponsor and Dr. Jennifer Dutch was the co-sponsor.

Dr. Kirk Mallette uses his son’s flawed pottery as an illustration.

Joe Davis recited an emotional poem during a special 911 chapel.

It’s a vital part of who we are as a college and has been a mainstay at YC since the very beginning. Daily chapel provides a unique time to gather as a family, see your friends, find out what’s taking place on campus, and worshipping the One who made it all possible.

Whether given by a student, campus guest, or a member of the faculty or staff, the message is meant to make a difference and

encourage a stronger walk with God. Club Week, senior chapels, Champions of Character,

praise chapels, and even daily announcements... all make the experience a lifelong blessing. From President Eckman’s address at opening chapel to the closing assembly at the end of the spring semester, what takes place between 10:00 and 10:30 in the confines of the Campbell Student Activity Center will have a significant reach in the education of a York College student.

Bringing knowledge and information to life can be a daunting task, but the faculty at York College strive to do just that as they educate in

and out of the classroom. Going the extra mile to make sure students are a success in life, have the spiritual tools they need, and provide touches of home that aren’t covered in their contract are a testimony to their higher calling and why they work at YC. Creative thinking and teaching, tutorial assistance, road trips, extra office hours... all make the learning experience more complete and attainable.

Students took the role of teachers at the end of the fall semester when they hosted York-area elementary students at the Cultural Geography Fair in the Mackey

Center. Mongolia, Greece, Ireland, Fiji, Laos, Haiti, Oman, Romania, Nepal, Ethiopia, Peru, and the Dominican Republic were all part of the mix as presentations included food, games, music, activities, and other fun items on display.

There was a new kid on the block as the men’s club Koinonia was resurrected in the fall and paired with Beta Beta Sigma. The clubs seemed made for each other and began the

year with a flurry of activities. They hosted a luau, complete with a limbo and hula contest to recruit new members. Capture the flag, kiss and tackle, speed-dating, Beta’s synchronized swimming, and coffee with the club were all part of Club Week.

Service projects were volunteering at Adopt-a-Pet throughout the year, serving a dinner for Epworth Village,

working with the People’s City Mission in Lincoln in their Starry Nights program as well as helping homeless women and children, and a week of service during spring break in Oklahoma City.

Other activities were movie nights, a c lub Chr istmas party, bowling night, bonfires, and game nights, along with their Magic Show in Songfest. Beta received the Community Service Award at YC Banquet.

Delta elevated their service presence by volunteering at Adopt-A-Pet, babysitting for a YC alumni event as well as a holiday Drop ‘N Shop, and participating in the East Hill clothing exchange. The two clubs put a lot of time and energy together in the spring semester with their Songfest production of Around the World.

From the beginning, Omega Phi and Kingsmen made great efforts to do things together and were blessed as the year went along. Joint

activities included a lot of crazy games and mixers during Club Week, club devotionals, joint Christmas party, club banquet, and an end-of- the-year BBQ. Omega Phi donated their time and energy once again to Operation Christmas Child, a holiday service project through the international relief organization Samaritan’s Purse. They were successful in getting the campus involved in donating shoebox care packages and blessing needy children.

During spring break, Kingsmen and Omega Phi volunteered their services to anyone needing assistance for the week. For Songfest, the clubs broke out the lifeguard outfits for their tribute to everything good about Summertime. At the All-College Banquet, Omega Phi was presented the Big Heart Award for having the highest percentage of participation in the campus blood drives.

Theta Psi and Sigma Tau had a great year in which they saved some of their best for last. The month of April was historical as their Severe Weather Warning swept

the awards for Best Music, Best Costumes, Best Choreography and Best Theme to take the coveted President’s Award under the direction of Songfest reps Joe and Alisha Davis and Levi Swenson.

At the beginning of the year the clubs volunteered once again at Living Water Rescue Mission for various service projects that included cleaning, washing dishes, restocking the pantry, and some light food prepping. Theta Psi entertained in good taste at Coronation with “What Does the Fox Say?”

At banquet, Theta Psi repeated with the highest accumulative grade point average among clubs winning the Academic Excellence Award.

Missions

While most students enjoy a rest during school holidays, many at YC choose instead to dedicate that time to the Lord in service to others.

A team of eight students spent part of the Christmas holiday in Haiti, blessing children in orphanages in Port-au-Prince. They also did outreach and service in the area, including work at a free medical clinic, offering English lessons, and conducting a three-day soccer tournament for children.

Also traveling over the Christmas break was a group of four students and six YC alumni who flew to Ecuador to work with local missionaries on maintenance of a church camp facility and construction of a new church building. Assistant professor of communication, Shannon Leinen and her husband Jared planned the trip,

During spring break, a team of nine from YC led by Dr. Milton Eckhart, associate professor of biology, traveled to northern Haiti to conduct a week-long mobile health clinic. Partnering with a volunteer team of doctors and nurses through the non-profit Every Eye Will See Him, the group from York College treated 150-200 people each day—taking time to pray with each patient as well as address their physical needs.

Nine members of Beta Beta Sigma and Koinonia traveled to Oklahoma City for their break, where they spent six days serving the homeless and feeding the hungry. The team spent time volunteering at a variety of non-profits including Cross and Crown, Feed the Children, and the city mission. They sorted donations of food, clothing, and personal items, and spent a lot of time praying and fellowshipping with the people served by those organizations.

Summer Missions

Five groups went out from York College this year with the Let’s Start Talking program. Using the Book of Luke as their English text, the students who were on the LST teams were able to have

one-on-one conversations about the Gospel in the countries of: Belgium, Ecuador, Estonia, Germany, and Japan. The summer experience gave them a unique opportunity to display the love of Christ and to see firsthand the global impact of the Good News.

year’s team. However, there was a new kid in town, so to speak, as the Eagles from Oklahoma Wesleyan rose to the top of the MCAC as well as garnered national attention with the #3 NAIA ranking. The Panthers and Bruins did their usual sparring as they split 3-3 in their match-ups and provided some incredible battles for the home crowd to enjoy at Levitt Stadium. The Panthers finished their season with a record of 32-21, 14-10 in conference play.

Tyler Helms was selected as a first-team catcher on the talent-laden MCAC team. Helms posted a .374 average for the season and recorded three home runs, nine doubles and 35 RBIs. All-MCAC 2nd Team were Sean Goodall (OF), Matt Owen (OF), and Tyler Molder (P). Helms and Trevor Ramos were MCAC Golden Glove recipients. Ramos led the team with 37 RBIs, Rudy Perez with 24 stolen bases, Molder’s 2.63 ERA led the pitching staff, and Josh Knoll led with 72 strikeouts. Cody Baack, Josh Burgener, D.J. Drews, Tyler Helms, and Jacob Powell were MCAC Scholar-Athletes.

Track & Field

It was a busy five months for the indoor and outdoor track athletes. Aside from the yearlong conditioning required, the competitive seasons combined span December through May. For the colder months, Holthus Field House became home to the athletes.The men’s and women’s outdoor track and field teams brought home

their respected MCAC Championships for the second year in a row with a number of individuals also earning the top spot in their events. Darreon Collins, a senior from Kansas City, Missouri, was recognized as the MCAC Outstanding Male Athlete of the Year, winning three individual golds and two golds in team relay events. Joe Ventry was an NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championship qualifier in the triple jump but did not compete due to injury. Head Coach Justin Carver had the repeat honor of being recognized as the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference Outstanding Coach of the Year for both men’s and women’s track teams. Kyle Bottom, Elizabeth Callaway, Jake Hasenauer, Marisa Maher, Ryne Smith, Kayla Struck, and Collin Tucker were named Daktronics NAIA Scholar-Athletes.

It was all smiles for the 4x400m relay championship team of Maher, Dallimore, Austin, and Callaway. (left)

It was a year of forward thinking and planning as York College made preparations for its 125th anniversary celebration. President Eckman and the administration began the silent phase of a capital campaign that would usher in some key campus facilities and improvements.

With construction beginning in the summer of 2014, the new 11,000 square-foot performing arts center took the lead on the campus initiatives. In the spring semester, the Museum of Ancient History slowly began taking shape in the lower floor of the Mackey Center, and the basement of Middlebrook underwent a transformation of mammoth proportions to facilitate three new classrooms featuring the latest teaching technology.

Fall enrollment came in at 459 students with one of the state’s largest percentage of minority enrollments at 30%. Three faculty members joined the YC family in the fall: Dr. Jennifer Dutch (English), Dr. Milton Eckhart (Biology), and Dr. Kirk Mallette (Education). The college was richly blessed with a successful Higher Learning Commission visit in the spring thanks in large part to our self-study Steering Committee: Dr. Shane Mountjoy and Dr. Clark Roush (co-chairs), Erin DeHart, Christi Lones, and Jared Stark. On the financial side, York College was able to finish in the black for the fifth consecutive year.
