Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

JCM class of 1978

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

Very few ABI people, evidently.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

I graduated in '82. I was class president all 3 yrs and was the honor student. We had 106 in our first year class and graduated, I think 86. It was one of the last large classes. Steve & Barb Willoughby were in my class as was "Bubby" Martin, Supt. of OK and a host of other wonderful people. :D

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

Sorry but I think this forum is where all the JCM alum. have migrated too... not many ABI here as far as I am aware. But if you know many from JCM you can sure find em here or someone very close to them at least LOL

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

ABI Class of '87 - JCM was a mess the years prior to my attending ABI (early 80s). I think it might have progressed a bit better while I was at ABI. I am friends with some guys that graduated during those mid 80s years. JCM was the "hot shot" school. ABI was mostly a bunch of no name Midwestern salt of the earth types. No playboys and BMWs and Mercedes in the parking lot.

"Better to have little with the fear of the Lord than to have plenty with chaos."

ABI is still standing. JCM is a ghost town.

Were you the ONLY honor student?

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

Yes. The "honor student" was chosen by the faculty each graduating year. That was different from the valedictorian or the student with the highest gpa. That student, in my class, was Ray Starr. He was first and I was second, I think.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

I went to ABI but did not graduate.
I attended ABI for the 1956/1957 year only.
My intention was to return in the fall of 1957 but that did not happen.
I never went back there.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

That was the year I was born...I didn't know you were old enough to be my daddy:gaga

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

ABIgrad's name speaks for itself.. I know who he is.. but he hasn't logged in or posted since sometime in March.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

My aunt (Ilene Kloepper) taught there about that time. She was very young, not much older than the students. Actually, it may have been before that. I think JH Rose and GL Glass Jr. were students then.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

A native from here attended and graduated in the 50's. His name is Jimmy Houston. Lives in the Seattle area now.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

I'm old.
This past December 6th I turned 70.

Someone once told me that I'm so old that when God said, "let there be light," I was the one that flipped the switch.

Now that ya'll know how old I am, I expect a little respect.
R--E--S--P--E--C--T

I don't want to be like Bro. Rodney Dangerfield and have to say, "I get no respect."

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

Sir yes sir ummm will do that sir elder sir!!!! LOL Just messing w ya Bro!!:bliss:friend

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

I'm old enough to be the father or grandfather of most of the folks on here.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

commonsense is a 1969 ABI grad.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

Sam,
I understand that feeling. My last few jobs I wasn't just older than my manager or supervisor , sometimes I was older than their parents!:tissue



I am a proud ABI graduate, class of 69.:bliss

Re: How many ABI grads on here?

Hello GraceAmazing welcome to AFF:ursofunny

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

jcm 1981, the year before they turned over almost the entire faculty, lol,dt:friend

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

graduated from JCM 1982, the year AFTER they turned over almost the entire faculty, reformatted the teaching, instituted the "fast" day that was affectionally known as the "fast food" day.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

Graduated from JCM in 85.It totally changed the direction of my life.I thank God for the opportunity to go to Bible College. It seems like alot of the ABI people haven't heard about the forum yet.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

I have some friends who graduated from ABI in the 80's... In fact, here where I live, most of the pastors are from ABI..!!!

Your pastors son had alot to do with JCM being a mess,lol.He got me in more trouble while he was at school.We had alot of fun,but was called into the deans office several times.I'm sure glad he graduated so I would quit getting in trouble.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

i got called into the office a few times, but i never blamed it on anyone except me, lol, dt:bliss:bliss:friend

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

My husband went to JCM... 2001 right before the end of the end

He was going to go when he first got out of high school. Instead he ended up... well not living right to say the least... and after he got back in church and out of the military.. Bro Craft and Bro Clark asked him to come and even allowed him to attend and yet only be in class 2 weeks a month because of his work schedule. They recorded all the classes and he did his other work when he returned on his 2 weeks off.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

My FIL graduated in 1956, the year my wife was born.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

A LOT of pastors kids (and District Supe kids) got in trouble at JCM.....I would not blame it on one...and that was during the years from 79 to 82 that I speak of.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

i was there and can testify that a lot of kids got into trouble, pastors kids, dist sup kids, and all the rest, but that happens at all bible schools, i have friends from abi and gateway and the rest, the same story at one time or another, lol,dt

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

Sam, maybe I'm the only one on here that's older than you. I attended ABI fall of 51. I went back after Christmas vacation but Bro. N decided the military was the place for me. That's what you get for dating church girls!!:bliss My wife's husband would have been there when you were there. I won't release any names, he is now deceased. I spent five years in the AF and then graduated from CLC.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

If he graduated in 1956 it would have been in the spring.
I went there in the fall of 1956 and finished that year (my only one) in the spring of 1957.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

He graduaterd in 58..

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

I lasted 4 weeks at ABI:D

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

WOW, did you leave on your own?

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

Yes,way to strict for me. They wanted me to stay 6 inches from my cousins Nate Sabin and Jacko Yonts. They had this 6 inch rule .:tantrum:tantrum

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

Yeah, I thought it was silly then and I still do now. It did not work. There was plenty of "hanky panky" going on when I was there. (but not by me) :D

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

Must be where the folks at Ohio Camp learned that. We had that same rule at camp. Silly, silly!! If you walked around camp, you had to have 6 inches between you. But if you were in the church van on the way home from youth rallies, it was ok to sit cuddled together in the back seat covered up by her long coat over both of you. Hmmmmmmmm........

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

I thought it was silly too and I was there as a married student.

Re: How many ABI grads on here?
 

I think that sort of stuff happened no matter what rules are in place! It didn't matter if it was ABI or JCM or CLC.
