Biblical Exposition Seminar Slated
Adventists have been known as
““The people of the Book.” To
keep that reputation we need to be
thorough students of the Bible.
With that in mind the Clovis
Church and the Sabbath School
Department are co-sponsoring a
Biblical Exposition Seminar May
4-6 at the Clovis church.
Conducted by Dr. Jack Dunham
of Arizona, the seminar teaches
methods of personal Bible study.
Elders, personal ministries leaders,
Sabbath school superintendents
and teachers will find this seminar
especially helpful, but it is designed
for all members interested in Bible
study. Participants learn how to
research any Bible topic for them-
selves.
This seminar develops compe-
sons attending their
own Five-Day Plan.

Search Under Way for
Choral Organizations
A conferencewide search for
regularly performing choral
organizations is under way.
Both the music committee of
the General Conference Session
for 1985 and the national Advent-
ist Church Musicians’ Association
want to know about churches in
Central that have choirs—adult,
youth or children’s.
Information—particularly the
name, address, and phone number
of the choir director—should be
sent to Pastor Richard Lee Fenn,
Assistant to the President, Central
California Conference of Seventh-
day Adventists, P.O. Box 770,
Clovis, CA 93613.
Meekness, a Fruit
““Meekness in the school of
Christ is one of the marked fruits
of the Spirit. It is a grace wrought
by the Holy Spirit as a sanctifier,
and enables its possessor at all
times to control a rash and im-
petuous temper.’’—SL. 15.

Speaking of price tags, do the priority tags in your home ever

arrange your priorities? What comes first in your life? Spread
your ‘‘goods’’ out on the table. Then be honest with yourself.

Thunderbird Adventist Academy principals pictured as they met at the
TAA Principals Get Together at
Education Administrators Meeting
The National Association of
Secondary School Principals met
in its Annual Convention in Feb-
ruary.
In conjunction with this a meet-
ing of North American Seventh-
day Adventist educators also was
held. During one of the meetings,
it was noticed that all of the past
principals of Thunderbird Advent-
ist Academy were present except
C. B. Harris.
Thunderbird Adventist Academy
was born when Arizona Academy
moved from the Phoenix campus
to the rural north-Scottsdale site.
Ray Stone was called to Arizona
to make the transfer and to
develop Thunderbird Air Force
Base #2 into a school.
Thunderbird began to rebuild
during the principalship of Don
Wright and continued develop-
National Association of Secondary School Principals Convention are,
from the left: Ray Stone (1953-56 and 1967-69), retired, Arizona Con-
ference auditor; George Smith (1956-64), principal, Jefferson Academy,
Texas; C. B. Harris (1964-67), retired, southern California (not pictured);
Corkey Lawson (1969-71), superintendent of education, Southern Califor-
nia Conference; Don Wright (1971-74), superintendent of education, New
York Conference; Don Keele (1974-79), principal, Campion Academy; Ron
Russell (1979-83), superintendent of education, Arizona Conference; and
Paul Rouse (1983), current principal.
ment through Don Keele’s and
Ron Russell’s years. Today the
school has a beautiful campus.
The Arizona Conference Associa-
tion has been able to provide
funds to complete the buildings to
this stage without incurring debt.
Thunderbird has continued to
operate one of the last major
school-owned industries—Thun-
derbird Furniture. The industry
was begun early in the administra-
tion of Ray Stone and today pro-
vides from $150 to $175 per stu-
dent per month in labor. In fact,
adults have had to be employed to
cover for the lack of students who
are 17 and 18 years of age to work
in the mill. Students are needed
who will work to earn money for
school.
The aviation program, with
Principal Harris as one of the first
instructors, also continues to draw
students to Thunderbird Advent-
ist Academy. Anually, 13-15 stu-
dents are involved in the program
and five to seven students obtain
their private-pilot’s licenses.
It was good for those who had a
part in the development and his-
tory of Thunderbird Adventist
Academy to have the opportunity
to meet together. Students and
staff who lived on campus have
gone on to contribute to the work
of the Church around the world.
