Circles of Fellowship

Winning the Miss Michigan crown was, of course, Diane's magic carpet to the Miss America finals in Atlantic City. While participating in the week- long whirl of events including the various stages of competition, interviews with judges and other traditional pageantry, Diane looked for and found another Christian — Miss Oklahoma. Soon they discovered another and then another until they rounded up a nucleus of seven contestants united in a fellowship of believers. Diane comments: "The rest of the girls were very respectful about our faith and some showed genuine interest in what we stood for."

The people who say this country is going to the dogs just haven't met "Miss Michigan," 1976. If they would talk to the folks in her hometown, Berrien Center (pop. 149), passed some of the time with the boys at Harold's Arco or the oldtimers at the township hall, they'd realize that a lot of things are OK. They'd know about Diane Kaye Hansen, a sincere 23-year-old school teacher who devotes herself to Christ and to children.

13 "I'm probably the most average person you will ever run across," says Dave Whybrew 74. Then he adds, "but things have happened to me." On appearances, there seems to be no reason to question his self- assessment. Dave never became the hero type — he never won a medal or trophy. After serving in the Air Corps for two years, mainly in Viet Nam — a war with few heroes — he returned home without benefit of brass bands or banners Dave was a face in a crowd when he came to Taylor as a student from Tennessee. Then he met Coach George Glass, track and cross country coach (and athletic director from 1964 to 1976). "I didn't even earn a letter in track in high school," Dave recalls, "and training with the Taylor pack was a real workout. This school has coaches who build all-around men and women — not just athletes." Under the influence of Coach Glass and Dr. Ruth Breuninger, Dave became a Christian Education major. The pivotal decision of his

life came in his sophomore year. During Youth Conference, the speaker asked for those who would commit their lives to Christ to stand to their feet. Dave did, and came face to face with God. Dave had the same legs, the same body chemistry, but he had a new heart. "He became an over-achiever and he developed an exceptional interest in people," Coach Glass reminisces (he loves to talk about .* his former students). Before a meet, Dave would greet all the opposing athletes one by one. This was unorthodox to say the least, but his appreciation for *'*Sl individuals was not to be denied.
