This year, we have decided to take a new approach to the yearbook, focus-ing on a smaller, high-quality journal that covers the major events and happen-ings throughout the year. This journal format includes highlights from the sports teams, school activities, and profiles.

We are also excited to announce the launch of our yearbook website, which will include more in-depth coverage of the year as well as archives from previous yearbooks. We hope that as you look back at the year’s key memories, a smile crosses your face.

Enjoy!

CommunityThe word “community” is used so often at Vanguard that is has become cliché. But when it comes down to it, what better word is there to describe the feeling you get when you set foot on campus?

At Vanguard, living in community means more than just being on a campus with a bunch of other people. It means that, when students are hurting, their floor mates take them to coffee to cheer them up and to get a chance to em-pathize. It means staying up until the early hours of the morning after a mid-night In-N-Out run. It means having the opportunity to worship with fantastic people every week. When you live in community, you have people who care about you, people who will call you out, who will embrace you into their lives and make you a priority. Although it’s a buzzword, community is one of at the best things about Vanguard.

Freshman ClassThe class of 2013—a bunch of rowdy, fun-loving individuals—brings in the winds of change to the Vanguard community. Our journey began August 22, 2009. We were a combination of nervous high school graduates and young people ready to further our education and discover new ways to experience the world we live in. Ever since we were young, we have been told that college was going to be the best experience of our lives. We have also been told we would experience our full potential and find the people who would influence us most. In reality, college has been our chance to put aside what we were prior to Vanguard and start afresh on the road towards enriching our lives. We know how to have fun, but we also see the importance in relating to our peers. At first glance, the freshmen class might look like a wild bunch of extroverts, but there is much more to us then our crazy demeanor. We are a body, a group of individuals who are seeking to find our purpose in life, and we desire to better the world we live in.

“What the class of 2013 needs is to come together and recognize our diversity as a ma-jor strength, one that the classes before us have lacked,” freshman Mary Baker said.

Sophomore ClassThe Class of 2012 has had a passion since the beginning of our freshman year to unite with each other, to be involved in as many ways as possible, and to make a difference on Vanguard’s campus and around the world. Members of the Sopho-more Class are involved in many things, including athletics, study abroad pro-grams, RA positions, ASBG, Spiritual Formation/Outreach, Entourage, Missions, Krochet Kids International, 31 Bits, Admissions, ROTC, Yearbook, The Voice, and many more. Our class has a huge heart for being involved, and we have big dreams that I believe will make a big difference throughout the world.

Sophomore Class Activities Director, Alyssa Tebeau, says her favorite part of the year was the Harvest Party “It was such a big event to plan and to see all the ideas come to life gave such an incredible feeling of relief and joy,” she said. “Our class council worked so hard and it was a great success.” The Sophomore Class loves representing Vanguard University!

Junior ClassThe Junior Class has faced many trials and tribulations this year, but through them we have learned and grown in many different ways. We have learned that true honor, integrity and humility lie not in being perfect or the most prominent, but in being a servant. We are ready to embrace the challenges of next year, and we are excited for the blessings it will bring!

Teach us, good Lord, to serve you as you deserve: to give, and not to count the cost, to fight, and not to heed the wounds, to toil, and not to seek for rest, to labor, and not to ask for any reward, save that of knowing that we do your will. Ignatius of Loyola

Senior ClassDear Graduate, Your time here has been full of great memories! Entering Vanguard with high hopes for Vision 2010, we now can personalize this term to define the adventure that we have had over the past four years. We started this journey experiencing the “Furious Love of God” through Mondays on the Mount, and we endured our first year of big changes on campus while learning what it truly means to act as God’s beloved. Then we started defining and separating ourselves from the other classes, stepping into leadership positions or using our voices to push the norms, becoming agents of change. With high ambitions, GSAC awards, and an abun-dance of rings by spring, we will never forget to continually abandon ourselves to God’s grace.

And today, as we approach the bittersweet Graduation ceremony, we remember the many accomplishments our class has been so fortunate to achieve and the people who have helped us get there.

Class of 2010, go out and put your fingerprint on the world!

The Senior Class of 2010 would like to thank: Linda Hartzel, Dan Brown, Bill Dogterom, Carlos Fernandez, Bruce Lindsey, Laurel and Rene, and Sam Chun. Our four years here would not have been the same without you!

Profile: Dr. Carol TaylorIn recent history, women have stepped up to follow their passions and to strive to achieve what they believe in. Lillian Wald was the first woman to organize a multi-national peace march, Jeanette Rankin served in the U.S. Con-gress as a woman for the first time, and Janet Guthrie was the first to race in the Indy 500. Dr. Carol Taylor stepped in the president’s position during a time when Vanguard was under pressure from students, community, and the media. As a community of students, we walked though this time together. The incredible woman who stepped up into the role of president walks alongside the students at Vanguard in so many ways.

Her leadership style is personal. Her own heart and family are interconnected with our university, and her love for Vanguard shows through the way she reach-es out to and relates to the students. In chapel last spring, Dr. Taylor said, “I know your stories.” She does. She keeps her doors open to ASBG members, student leaders, and students in general, reflecting her care for the school.

Her personal vision for Vanguard is about the students. Dr. Taylor says that her dream for Vanguard is that it would “prepare [students] fully for the best gradu-ate programs and places of service and provide a foundation for a lifelong hunger to know and love God.” God is at work in Vanguard through Dr. Taylor’s person-al leadership. She exemplifies a spirit of optimism, teamwork, and community on campus.

The 2009–2010 school year started off full of prayer. This prayer and active seek-ing of God and His work can be felt through Dr. Taylor’s influence. The spiritu-ality of this campus is important to her. “Our students, whose stories and pas-sion to know and love God and desire to abandon their lives to Christ’s service, inspire me,” she said.

19

As Vanguard’s first woman president, Dr. Taylor has led our university through some difficult times, yet she leads with a passion that inspires the students who inspire her. In my four years here, Vanguard has surely gone through many changes. It has been incredible to witness such a journey and transformation in this university under the leadership and governance that has been in place since the fall of 2008. This is a new season in our university’s journey, on that’s full of life, and in this season we have a president who desires to serve the cam-pus, desires to know God’s will, and desires to continue the traditions of our wonderful university.

Residence LifeMany students, if asked, would tell you that living in a dorm on campus is the best way to be immersed in the Vanguard culture. Residence Assistants (RAs) are responsible for making this immersion something that is memorable. They are given the intimidating tasks of maintaining a floor or quad of students, creating an atmosphere that is welcoming, comfortable and fun. Sometimes they have to be “the bad guy.” Although writing incident reports and hall monitoring are both part of being a Resident Assistant, these tasks do not define them. The Resident Assistant job requires a great deal of time, commitment, loyalty, creativity, and passion. On a larger scale, RAs are a loving and trustworthy community of stu-dents who help create relationships. Among their many tedious tasks, they also get to enjoy making great friendships, planning events, holding floor Bible stud-ies, experiencing spur-of-the-moment fast food runs and one-on-ones with their residents. It is this sense of family and community that first starts in the dorms that makes Vanguard’s campus so great.

Vanguard ArtistsAt the end of last year, I was awarded the option to display my photography in the Cove for the 2009–2010 school year. I was excited to exhibit my art, but I wanted to take it a step further by displaying other photographers’ work along-side my own. I told some close friends about the idea, and they were all eager to participate. This is how the Vanguard Artist Collective (VAC) was founded. Over those next couple weeks, I found a group of responsible leaders who were just as excited as myself, and together we organized the first exhibit of student artwork in the Cove. Since then, twelve Vanguard artists have seen their work displayed there through VAC.

VAC expanded to include paintings and sketches, alongside the original photog-raphy; musicians and poets also make up a good portion of the club. In Novem-ber of this last year, three spectacular musicians—Kylie Campion, Savana Koteita and Jared Slyter—all performed in VAC’s first Concert in the Cove. What began as a dream between a few friends has grown and expanded beyond what any of us could have imagined. I owe all of VAC’s successes to my three friends: Tyler Wayman, Ethan Brookins and Sarah Ainley, without whom none of these things could have been possible.

It is my hope and aspiration that we can continue to serve the students of Van-guard University by providing mediums for artistic expression in the coming years. Ben Polanco

ASBGThe 2009–2010 Associated Student Body Government has been through an entire year. This statement may sound simple, but it’s true. In a literal sense, a year has passed since you elected this group into the Bridge. During the year, ASBG has strived to be accessible, to maintain open communication, and to be an advocate to the students of Vanguard University. In Student Council, a wide range of issues were discussed, from the absence of a computer lab, to getting the Cove open 24 hours, and even things like whether to use should use a “G” or “g” in ASBG (we chose the “big G”).

The Activities Board planned and hosted many memorable events. The All School Party, Whistledinger, Homecoming week, and Mr. VU were some of the great events put on by the Activities Board. Class presidents lead their president cabi-nets in discussing hot issues and topics on campus. By the end of March, a new group of ASBGers were elected and hired for 2010–2011 school year. So whether or not you knew exactly what was going on with ASBG throughout the year, you should know that a year was had.

Spiritual LifeThe world is changing. The church as a whole often resists the inevitable changes that time brings. Tradition is a beautiful thing—without it, we would have no ground to grow in. I see the church as a tree. I see Vanguard University as a tree. This tree is not a young spruce. It has an old, thick trunk and many unique yet unified branches. Often times, trees and other plant life have to be pruned so that new life can be cultivated. The pruning process seems to be the most difficult part of new growth. It’s never very comfortable to let go of influen-tial people who have made such a huge impact on this school, yet as stated earlier, it’s necessary for growth. We love to be comfortable, but pruning is painful. In an organization that strives to surrender to the will of God, the pruning process is the time when the faithful are tested the most.

Vanguard has recently gone through this difficult process. Influential men and women of God who have established and maintained Vanguard University as a place to further Christian growth have been let go. Though these changes have been difficult, we believe we are submitting ourselves to the King, and already we’ve seen his hand move in miraculous and life giving ways. What we are now experiencing is a spring season; where the sprouts of new life are showing up on our rough areas as bright green hopes for the future.

The question now is how to cope with this change. Do we as a school fight against the fresh start, or do we submit this to will of God? Do we rely on what helped us through life in the past, or do we let go and allow the adventurous and all know-ing God to take this school through a revitalizing journey which will equip it for the struggles to come? I stand as someone who has decided to let go.

Let us, as a unified body, move ahead. Not discounting our past but allowing it to be our launching pad for the future. As we remember those who proceeded us, let’s make decisions now that will positively affect those who follow. I wish to say that the way to do this is through submission to God’s will, no matter how crazy or uncomfortable it may seem. In the end, it’s His will that brings true growth. Josh Guzman

New Campus PastorAmong the wave of changes that our school has encountered this year is one that is started reshaping our community for the better: a new campus pastor. Vince Beresford was hired last summer as Campus Pastor after a series of staff, faculty, and student interviews. The interviewers were impressed by his twenty-three years of experience in ministry, in which he has served as a senior pastor, a worship leader, and a youth pastor at numerous churches in California and Mis-souri. As the year has unfolded he has continued to nurture the spiritual needs of our campus through his messages about craving the Lord and learning to explore the deepest yearnings of humanity. Vince’s passion for college-age students began as he helped develop three college ministries. He was drawn to minister to students who “seem to be neglected” by churches. He desires to make students feel loved and to make a difference in their lives. Most of his energy has gone towards “loving and ministering the young adults of this world,” and as he has stepped into the role of Campus Pastor at Vanguard, he has continued to do just that. He is in love with the “element of idealism” that Vanguard students seem to posses, and he says that it is unlike anywhere he has ever been. Astounded by the energy the students portray, he feels blessed to be apart of a university whose students are real, alive, and not afraid to get their feet wet.

Since before he set foot on Vanguard pavement. he felt the Lord telling him that this year was going to be characterized by healing. This healing was going to be for the whole university as well as for individuals—students, staff, and faculty. He recognizes that “we have undergone a lot of difficulties as a community, and we are still in the process of this healing.” Another thing God placed on his heart at the beginning of the year is the idea of winning a spiritual warfare. We as a University have been “taking over territory where Christ’s mission is moving to the forefront,” he said, “and at the front of this battle are the students.”

33

Student empowerment at Vanguard is rising, and this is exactly the change Van-guard needs. Students are using their voices and God is moving. Beresford said “I am seeing God moving daily in the lives of the people at this school, and through the element of students experiencing the power of God on a deeper level.” From the beginning of the year the “greatest movement of God on this campus has been student-led.” He could not be happier to be a part of a campus of students that are experiencing a love of the Lord that is so authentic and passionate. “This student-led fervor is so beautiful, and now we need to continue to fan the flame, to empower the students, to continue to send people out to go and do the Lord’s work.”

Delivery Boys & Entourage“Spending a summer as a Delivery Boy is like spending a summer with a whole bunch of high schoolers and middle schoolers, eating awful food, sleeping in nasty cabin with smelly students, fighting off dragons with only a rubber band and a paper clip, and having the most amazing summer of your life! In fact it’s exactly like that except for the nasty cabins—no wait the dragon part—yeah the dragon part for sure.” Devin Aguilera

“This summer was a great time in my life. I learned to Parkour, I break danced a little, and I loved most every experience. My team was the best. I pray that I influenced a few students as much as they influenced my life and camp ex-perience. Thank you Delivery Boys program for being in existence, I know first hand how powerful and effective this ministry is. Go D-boys and Entourage!” Nehemiah Rogers

Reaching OutI met Dean for the first time a day or two before classes started in the fall of 2008, on a beach in Newport. He was a homeless Vietnam veteran. I started visiting him about once or twice a week. I loved all of his stories. He told me about the poem he sold to Rolling Stone in the 70s, about how he used to play his harmonica for his fellow Marines. I learned that music was one of his pas-sions. Sometimes I brought my guitar, and we would pass it back an forth, sing-ing songs for each other.

When his birthday rolled around, I remembered that he wanted a couple of new harmonicas to replace the ones the police took away. I had plenty of money to get a nice one for my new friend. So I went to Guitar Center and asked them for the best harmonica, and they showed me a Hohner Blues Harp in the key of D. I was so excited to give it to him. I took it home and wrapped it in the latest issue of

“The Voice”, and I colored the wrapping paper with black and orange markers.

I took the gift-wrapped harmonica to the beach on October 13th, but Dean wasn’t there. I described him to the beach patrol in the tower and the man asked me if he was causing trouble. “No,” I said. “I was just wondering if you knew where my friend was.” I walked away. I asked his friends where they thought he was, and they said he got picked up for being drunk in public. My heart sank. I called around to the different jails in town to see if they had him, but I couldn’t find him. I kept going back to the beach to look for him. One day, I heard that Dean was out of jail and that he would be back on Halloween to celebrate his birthday with all the other beach people. My spirits were lifted once again. I went back to the beach on October 31st to party with Dean for his birthday, and there he was! After the I-haven’t-seen-you-in-a-while’s, I gave him his new harmonica, saying, “Happy birthday, Dean.” He reached for it slowly. His eyes watered as he tore away the black and orange newspaper. That was the moment he realized I truly did care about him. After thanking me, Dean showed it to everyone and proceeded to belt out “Amazing Grace.”

37

A few weeks later, I was sitting on the sand with Dean, watching the sun dip into the Pacific Ocean through two palm trees, listening to his harmonica. Suddenly, he stopped playing and started talking about God. I don’t remember much from that conversation. I do remember hearing him say, “This is heaven.” We were sitting on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, watching the sun set, listening to the rhythm of the waves. I heard God’s voice, loud and clear, tell-ing me to remember this moment. I caught a glimpse of heaven in Dean’s eyes, my simple presence reminded him that God still cares about him and sees his plight.

I don’t know where Dean is now, but every once in a while I hear a story from a friend about seeing a homeless man with a harmonica down in that area. I hope Dean is doing well.

Missions WeekThe Spiritual Formation Department’s goal is to “provide opportunities for the VU community to be transformed into the image of Christ through experi-ences that involve active participation in settings that maximize receptivity to the Holy Spirit’s sanctifying work.” Newly encompassed in Spiritual Formation are Community Integration and Global Initiatives. These departments focus their attention on providing students with opportunities to experience the Holy Spirit’s work in their lives while also interacting with the Great Commission by serving in missions both locally and globally.

Missions Week is a focus week put on by the Global Initiatives Department. This week exists to promote and encourage students to get involved in missions. This year was devoted to providing stimulating chapels and seminars that focused on global issues, and the call to the mission field. Vanguard was privileged to have guest speakers such as Shannon Kapp, who is a devoted missionary who has spent years serving God through missions. He was the pastor of a local church who also devoted months of his life in Asia, where he is a key and vital partici-pant in the fight against illegal sex trafficking.

Along with offering engaging chapel and seminar experiences, the Global Ini-tiative Department found local and global mission organizations to come to Vanguard in order to give students tangible opportunities to serve. Both short-term and long-term opportunities were available at the Missions Fair. Through the dozens of organizations that made their way out to sunny Costa Mesa, students were given the opportunity to volunteer or serve on staff.

Two of the most popular activities offered during Missions Week this year were Multi-cultural Munchies / Mic Night and the first annual Around The World Party: Olympics Edition. The mic night was a huge hit among students. It was an event where VU students who had recently been on a missions trip set up booths, decorating them with nic-nacs that they had acquired on their journeys. They also served authentic home-made food.

39

There was a mic set up, and students were given the opportunity to recite short stories, songs, poems, etc., about their different experiences with missions. Great entertainment, decorations, and food! What else could a VU student want?

The other huge event that drew about one fourth of VU’s cumulative student body was the Around the World Party. Located on the Campus Mall, students gathered together and created teams through which they represented countries they had been to or were hoping to go to on a mission trip. The teams engaged in events such as sumo wrestling, weight lifting the “DTR” bench, jousting with dead fish, and my personal favorite—the ribbon dancing competition. This event gave the students a fun and interactive way to hear about missions, as well as an opportunity to team together. Missions Week had it all. It was engaging and fun, it helped build community, it was informative, and, most importantly, it gave VU students the opportunity to seek God’s will regarding missions.

Welcome Week Frontline exists to welcome new students into Vanguard University by es-tablishing a diverse environment that ignites growth, belonging, and genuine re-lationships within a Christian community. The leaders are chosen based on core values that we want to exemplify and strive towards as a community. Heart, pas-sion, patience, unity, leadership, confidence, and communication are all qualities that Frontline and its leaders exhibit and demonstrate to our new students.

The theme for Welcome Week 2009 was “Grafted,” a term that was derived from the Book of John: “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me” (15:4). As a Christian community, we are all grafted and adopted into the family of God. He is an integral and inseparable part of our lives. Once you become a Vanguard student you are grafted into the VU family. Regardless of where we have all come from, we are all a part of the story at Vanguard, and it is a part of ours.

Being involved with Frontline has provided me with an amazing opportunity to sit back and watch relationships unfold, to see people grow and to encour-age them to step out of their comfort zones. The whole process was exhilarating, from the day we hired our leaders, to the grand finale: Welcome Week! We played bizarre games and did an absurd amount of icebreakers, but we could not help but have a good time.

All School PartyIt’s the beginning of the year. Friends are still greeting each other after a long summer, the freshmen can be spotted from across campus, the weather is warm, and the beach is inviting. What a great time to celebrate. It’s no won-der that Vanguard’s first big event as a community is the All School Party. The theme this year was “Survivor.” Tiki torches lit up the campus outside and ev-eryone came decked out in face paint and wild costumes to take on the new year. Music from the Cove filled the air and invited students who heard it from afar to come over and join in the fun.

After the leadership retreat this year, ASBG came back to campus pumped and ready to work hard. The All School Party was a complete success, and Asia Perrin was the mastermind behind it all. Students enjoyed Vanguard traditions, things like inflatable mazes, good food, music—the essentials for every college student. Students could also take pictures with a giant snake at the photo booth thanks to Samantha May. Old friends were found milling between the Cove and the Café, buzzing with the excitement of a brand new school year. A spirit of open possibilities and change hung over the campus. As I watched from behind the root beer floats table, I was filled with a sense that I was home again, among the community and family that I have grown to love over the last three years. Ashley Wells

City ServeCity Serve this year was a culmination of many student and faculty efforts. Those efforts came from a deep appreciation and willingness to serve those around them, as well as a chance for God to move in the lives of our student body. I would have to say that simply put, 2009–2010 City Serve was awesome!

I had such a wonderful time, and I felt that the students that were a part of this event gained so much as well. It was like Christmas. Many believe the best part of Christmas is to receive all these wonderful gifts, when the real gift is to serve those around you with a caring and willing heart. Jesus taught us that serving is something that we should do out of habit, not out of reluctance. I was im-pressed by the attitude of service shown by Vanguard students. That attitude is what characterized City Serve for me, and I believe the tradition will continue to be impactful.

All-School Ice Skating, Freshman/Sophomore Broomball, and Junior/Senior Broomball have all become some of the best-attended Vanguard events. Who doesn’t enjoy bundling up in layers and carving some tracks into ice or running down the slippery rink to whack a ball towards a net? Of course, these fun activities don’t come with-out a price—there are always many bruises from the countless, hilarious slips and falls.

All of these icy events were worthwhile. At the all school ice-skating event, the rink was packed with skaters who showed off their moves and dance skills. The formidable sophomores dominated the freshmen in broomball. Both teams came wearing their games faces and class colors, but it was a complete shutout none-theless. Surprisingly, the junior class was victorious over the seniors. Spirits were high and sportsmanship abounded, but many seniors had a long drive home that night, their mouths smacking with the bitter taste of defeat.

WhistledingerAttending school in Southern California is a grand experience. Orange County has a lot to offer—ritzy malls, multi-million dollar beach residencies, fancy cars, and designer clothes. But to be honest, that’s not me. I’m from Penn-sylvania. I grew up as a country bumpkin, dangerously bordering on red neck, and sometimes I just miss old-fashioned country living. Whistledinger gave me a sweet taste of the farm life I remember, mingled with the rodeos and town fairs that were such a large part of my childhood.

Bubbles drifted past me as I walked towards the face-painting table. As a member of ASBG, I was assigned to work at that station. Children and college students lined up to have their faces painted with butterflies, tiger stripes, mustaches, or flowery embellishments. When there was a lull in the crowd of people at my stand, so I looked around to observe the other things that were happening at Whis-tledinger. Most students were decked out in their country-fare finest, with their flannel shirts, cowboy boots, and ten-gallon hats. To my right, students gathered around a pen of animals—our very own petting zoo, containing which caged in cuddly bunnies, pigs, puppies, and a goat. Nearby was a goldfish toss where many students won new pets for their dorm room. For some reason, looking at the goldfish made me hungry. I was confused, because I don’t normally eat those little fish. But it was my nose, not my eyes, that had activated my salivary glands. The smell of hot chili wafted through the air, a mixed scent of salted tomatoes, ground beef, and peppery spices.

In front of the VUSC letters, the annual Chili Cook Off was in full steam. Ta-bles were set up, covered with crock pots, sampling spoons, and corn bread. Unfortunately, by the time I made my way over to the tables, all of the chili was gone. The chili must have been delicious! Nick Peterson was disappointed that

“Brick’s Chili,” the concoction he and his fiancé Brittany Cromelin cooked up, didn’t claim first place. “Our chili deserved to win,” he said, “but it was more of a popularity contest.” However, those who tried winner Andi Fernandez’s “Mon-tana Mama’s Chili” would heartily disagree, saying it was the best chili at the Whistledinger.

At the pie eating contest, competitors sat in front of their pie, a garbage bag serving as a bib, their hands tied behind their back, and they plunged their faces into the pie like hogs into a trough full of slop. All table manners were laid to rest. Berries, goo, and pie crust plastered to their faces. Sophomore Jolene Grubbs finished off the most pie. She admitted to feeling sick to her stomach, but she was proud of her victory.

Although watching my friends eat with gluttonous abandon was entertaining, my favorite part of the Whistledinger was the square dancing. Actually, it was the square dancing instructor. The jolly old man stood out on the lawn wearing a button-up Western shirt, tight jeans, authentic boots, an enormous hat, and belt buckle that glinted silver beneath the high lonesome sun. He gripped the micro-phone, flirted with the women, and led the dancing lessons, and every now and then, he broke out into a sing-along. I nominate him as having the most Whis-tledinger spirit! The square dancing instructor reminded us all of the joys of the simple life: dancing, singing, and embracing the little bit of country in all of us.

All School Christmas PartyThis year’s Christmas party, which was thrown by the freshman class, gave students a night to feel the celebration and festivities of this magical season. To many students, Vanguard is a home away from home, and upon entering a Café full of fresh pine smell, this felt like a perfect blend of the two.

Decorated with lights, glittering ornaments, oversized presents and even a gi-ant Christmas tree, the Christmas party was teeming with students who came to celebrate. We decorated cookies of every assortment, shape, and color, only to devour them moments later. We washed them down with deep swigs of hot chocolate. Karaoke was sung by many (both good and bad), and David Melgar brought the house down with a heartfelt rendition of The Christmas Song. Dan-iel Moorlach played Santa Clause and spread cheer to everyone around him.

Another tradition is the ugly sweater contest. Students found the tacky sweaters at thrift stores or relatives’ closets. On the other end of the fashion spectrum, Krochet Kids International sold high quality beanies and knit skull caps, all made by women in Uganda. Vanguard was one venue that helped support KKI during their “Give the Gift of Love” Christmas event. Students milled around the booth, helping to support the organization by purchasing beanies for themselves and gifts for friends and family.

In this joyful season full of laughter, gifts, snow and food, the Vanguard fam-ily did not forget about the true spirit of Christmas. At the end of the party the lights went down and the Christmas tree was lit. We joined together to sing car-ols and enjoyed a moment of love and family. Thanks to Freshman Class Ac-tivities Director Alison Tash and her team, Vanguard experienced its own little Christmas miracle.

Christmas FantasiaSince 2000, Christmas Fantasia has been held in various venues around Or-ange County, including the Cerritos Performing Arts Center, Orange County Performing Arts Center, and St. Andrew’s Church in Newport Beach. People gather from all over the country to hear the sounds of the season as sung by Van-guard’s renowned Music Department.

The University Concert Choir, Women’s Chorus, Concert Orchestra, Jazz Band, Guitar Ensemble, and traveling worship group Vanguard Singers and Band each perform individual numbers, as well as combined pieces. Every year, the ensem-bles bring new and creative elements to the concert, but they also perform tradi-tional songs that delight musicians and audience members alike.

There is a clear sense of solidarity in the room when the audience joins hands and accompanies the choirs in singing “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” or “Joy to the World.” Christmas Fantasia brings in a lot of people, but more importantly, students, staff, faculty, alumni, and the community surrounding Vanguard Uni-versity cherish it. At Vanguard, the Christmas season does not truly begin until the conductor’s baton is raised and the first note is sung at Christmas Fantasia.

Woo-FestThere is one night a year when the men of Huntington Hall shower, dress their best, and put on quite a show for the ladies of Vanguard. This night is called Woo-Fest, and it is something that most girls look forward to every year. Woo-Fest is a night full of laughter as each floor in Huntington comes up with a per-formance to “woo” the girls. It usually involves singing, dancing, guitar-playing, and silly videos that go along with whatever theme the night is based on.

Some highlights of this year were the hosts, twin brothers Landon and Trevor Herrera, and their hilarious parody of the vampire movie, Twilight: New Moon. Girls also swooned at a special quintet of 4th floor men who did their own version of “For the Longest Time” by Billy Joel. The other floors performed some choreo-graphed dances, and much more. RA Ben Polanco and his residents spent hours preparing for the big night, and it was indeed 6th floor Huntington that took first place for the second year in a row. Girls leave the event definitely feeling “wooed” and it is always a fun event to look forward to in the fall.

Homecoming / Sock HopHave you ever had one of those out-of-body experiences where you feel like you have been transported through time? Entering the gymnasium and hearing the swooning tunes of Elvis, Little Richard, and Sam Cooke during Homecom-ing Week was one of those times. I felt like I had walked right into an episode of Happy Days. Streamers and balloons decorated the beloved college gym, making the gym look like a “Pit” that had been decked out for a party. No socks could be spotted and no hopping could be seen, however, the festivities taking place were certainly not from the current decade. Hula-hooping and Twister games were rampant, with inflatable jukeboxes and ‘50s music pulsing through the air. It was the music that brought back the nostalgia, sweet and sharp as a milkshake-induced brain freeze.

I had just walked into Vanguard University’s Homecoming event, the Sock Hop. It explained everything, especially why people were clad in cardigans and froofy skirts. Attending the Sock Hop was equivalent to warping out of a time machine landing in the 1950s: the age of poodle skirts, diners, and Buddy Holly. A crowd of people mingled outside the entrance; I pondered as to what could be impor-tant enough to pull people away from the festivities. Setting out to discover what all the fuss was about, I was delighted to find that root beer floats were being served outside! As the evening wore on, the Sock Hop participants continued to mingle, groove, and twist until the fun dwindled down. It was a hoppin’ party, and if anyone disagrees, I’ll sock ‘em!

Beat BiolaThere is no doubt that the 2009-2010 basketball season birthed a new sense of school spirit for Vanguard’s quaint campus. As the biggest and most anticipated game of the season, the Vanguard Lions traveled to La Mirada, Cali-fornia to face the Biola Eagles. Walking into Biola’s gymnasium, a glimpse of the visitor seating showed a crowd of over 100 Vanguard students who attended the event to cheer on the Lions. The volume and quantity of fans was proof that there was a renewed sense of school spirit. A sea of students stood in the stands dressed from head to toe in blue and gold with high hopes and unstoppable energy. There were a cluster of students wearing original “Beat Biola” printed screen tees. Fans were on their feet for the game’s entirety, fueling the intensity of a highly antici-pated sports game.

There was animosity between the Lions and the Eagles after their previous game, when Biola beat Vanguard by only one point. Biola was tied for first place in the GSAC division, and it was clear that our men had their work cut out for them. They went into the game with heads held high and an optimistic attitude. Van-guard controlled the tempo of the first half of the game by effectively communi-cating with one another and aggressively defending Biola’s offense.

Vanguard was up at half time, the team feeling energized from our crowd’s vol-ume and size. We dominated the rebounding battle, successfully boxing out our opponent’s low-post stars. It was a definite shock for Biola to see the unexpected enthusiasm that Vanguard fans brought to the court. As the game continued, the Lions began to slowly slip behind the Eagles, and the game ended with Biola win-ning by seven points. Though we left with a loss, this game was the beginning of a new and welcomed school pride for the Lions, an infusion of school energy that would be sure to continue on in future basketball seasons.

VolleyballComing off another tough string of games, the Lions were in a must-win situation against Westmont College. The Lions had lost their previous matches to the three highest ranked teams in GSAC, all of whom are ranked top five in the nation. It took the Lions five sets to defeat the Warriors, but after those tough losses, any kind of win was welcome.

Vanguard again slipped back into losing ways in their next two games. The Lions lost to Biola, and again to Point Loma to drop to 16–12 overall, and 10–9 in GSAC play, on the season. “We need to be a more consistent team and keep our lead when we have it. We are more than capable of that and more, but we just get stuck in our errors sometimes,” senior captain Heather DeJongh said.

The Biola match was particularly frustrating as the Lions had a 2–0 set lead and couldn’t close the deal. They ended up losing 3–2 against Biola in a close, heart-breaking match. “After a [questionable] call by the referee which cost us the third set, we couldn’t mentally finish the match,” DeJongh said. It was a similar situa-tion when Point Loma entered the Pit. After a strong showing in the first set, the Lions faded and let the Sea Lions win three straight sets to end the match.

However, none of the previous games mattered entering the match against San Diego Christian. The seniors wanted to win their last home game, and did so decidedly. After sweeping the Hawks in the final game of the season, Vanguard is currently ranked 11th in the nation. “[It] was a solid way for us to finish out league, but sad for us who will never play in The Pit again,” senior Meghan Walsh said about her final home game as a Lion.

The Lions finished the season with a record of 17–15, and 11–9 in GSAC competi-tion. They finished sixth in GSAC and for the second time in two years the Lions headed to the nationals, where they were defeated by Cal Baptist University.

Cross CountryCross country has been represented well this season despite injuries and inexperience, so well in fact that both squads were ranked nationally for the ma-jority of the season. And the GSAC championship race held in Fresno, California was no different.

The men placed two runners in the top 14, earning them All-GSAC honors. Ju-nior Christian de Glymes earned his second straight All-GSAC berth when he finished ninth out of 75 runners. Sophomore Matt Johnson finished 13th to also qualify for his second All-GSAC accolade. Sadly, when the NAIA Championship race qualifiers list was released Sunday afternoon, neither the team nor their two all conference runners made the cut.

The women also ran strong in Fresno, placing fifth in the team category while also boasting sophomore Megan Williams as their sole representative in the All-GSAC team. While the women’s team also failed to qualify for nationals, Wil-liams was able to travel to Vancouver, Washington to race amongst the nations elite.

Men’s SoccerThe men’s soccer team ended their season in heartbreaking fashion on Nov. 4, when they traveled to La Mirada to face off with Biola in the first round of the GSAC tournament. Vanguard came into the game as the 6th seed, Biola as the 3rd.

Biola led at halftime 1-0 after scoring 33 minutes into the half. Vanguard junior Tomislav Colic evened the score at 1–1 in the 54th minute off a free kick from just outside the box. Neither team would score again in regulation or overtime.

When the game reached the shootout, Vanguard was chosen to shoot first. Misses from Colic and junior Jordan Rodino doomed the Lions as Biola scored all of their shots, eventually winning the shootout 4–2.

Two Lions were granted the distinction of being on the All-GSAC team this sea-son. Colic made his third straight All-GSAC team in as many seasons after lead-ing the Lions in total points this season. The second Lion to make the list was sophomore Adam Holstein who was second for the Lions in goals. It was his first All-GSAC selection.

Women’s SoccerThey were tired. They had played seven straight overtime games. They had played the equivalent of an extra game and a half at the end of their season, a time where energy is hard to come by already. At this point, they were not win-ning by skill as much, but more so by heart.

When the game kicked off on that sunny afternoon, it seemed like the usual—a few good passes mixed in with a few “what was that?” type of plays. And when the halftime horn blew, coaches on both benches were saying, “It can only get better from here.” The second half looked promising at times, with more shots on goal than the first half, but it was evident that both teams were tired. Players who were knocked down were slow to get up and tempers were beginning to flare. As the second half came to a close, the Lions finally had Point Loma in their ter-ritory: overtime.

Throughout the season, Point Loma had only been a part of three overtime games, chump change to Vanguard’s eight. After a largely uneventful 20 minutes of overtime, the championship would be decided by a shootout. Senior and All-GSAC goalkeeper Jill Foss had been in this same position just a week and a half earlier against Concordia, and knew what she had to do. Vanguard’s first shot by All-GSAC midfielder, sophomore Gabriela Valles was blocked, and it was up to Foss to keep VU in the game. Foss took her spot in between the posts, and did what was needed, blocked the shot, and she did it successfully three times.

Sophomore Kathleen McDonald put the championship-clinching shot in the back of the net and the relief was evident. Fans stormed the field despite Athletic Director Bob Wilson’s best efforts to keep order and the team began their cel-ebration. The soccer team hugged, the fans cheered, and Point Loma rushed to the goal to console their emotional goalkeeper.

But behind every great game, is great motivation; in this case it was a teammate. Sophomore defender Kristin Rice made a tough comeback this season after tear-ing her ACL last year. Rice had worked her way back into soccer shape and even briefly managed to regain her starting position until she heard those pops again

77

against Biola. This time it was the opposite knee, which also had multiple tears and injuries. Her season was over too soon, again. Rice was unable to attend the championship game, as she was having reconstructive surgery.

Junior captain Ivana Mendez acknowledged that as much as they already wanted to win, they wanted to give Rice something to smile about when she woke up after her surgery. “Our motivation to win the championship was not only for ourselves and all the hard work we put in, but also for our teammate Kristin Rice,” Mendez said.

With one championship in hand, the team moved their vision onto the next goal—nationals. “Preparation for nationals is going to be brutal. Our coach al-ready warned us that is a whole new level of competition…all we can do is pre-pare by making sure we get the work done, and leave practice exhausted and sweaty,” Mendez said.

In the tournament, the Lions bowed to Point Loma Nazerene. They finished the year with only two losses, a 13–2–6 record.

Men’s BasketballThe basketball season has come to an end, filled with frustration and sadness. With two much needed wins and some help from other teams, Vanguard had a slim chance to make the GSAC tournament. However, the final two home games of the season did not go as planned for the Lions. With a convincing beat-down handed to the team by Westmont, the postseason hopes for the Lions vanished. The score of 88–69 does not show the domination the Warriors had through the whole contest. All that was left to play for was pride and a final victory in the Pit for the beloved seniors on Senior Night. The Lions came out amped for the game, with a highlight of senior Elvis Whitlow’s dramatic dunk. But the inability to rebound the ball and some key misses down the stretch led to defeat with senior captain Greg Scott’s tying a three-pointer falling short in the final seconds. The Lions season came to an end with a final score of 74–71, losing to Cal Baptist.

As we say farewell to four of the team’s most recognizable players, we wanted to thank them for all the hard work and effort they put into representing Vanguard and competing night in and night out for us fans to watch. Although we only got to see two seasons out of Whitlow, we all will remember him for his incredible dunks and jaw dropping displays of athleticism. “Even though we only won 14 games the two years I’ve been here, I have a lot of good memories playing with these guys and also gained some friends I will never forget,” Whitlow said.

Over his four seasons, Dennis Heenan transformed from a shy, quiet freshman, to a true vocal leader on the floor. His leadership will be missed. “It’s been an in-credible growing experience. I came in as an arrogant freshman and leaving as a humbled man. The lifelong friendships that I have formed are far more important than the wins and losses. Through it all I have seen God’s grace and amazing work,” captain Dennis Heenan said. For two seasons, Mitch Boyce became known as the three point shooting 7-footer from Vanguard. “The seasons didn’t really go how I wanted them to, but I know that I have made friendships for a lifetime playing with these guys,”he said. Through his four years at Vanguard, Scott developed into a great leader and an even greater man of God. “I am very thankful for the gifts God has given me and the experiences over my time at Vanguard,” Scott said. The graduating seniors from this year’s team will be truly missed next year.

Women’s BasketballThe women’s basketball team has once again advanced to the GSAC tourna-ment championship game which was held against Westmont Warriors. To make it to that game, the Lions had to overcome a spirited effort from Biola University on Friday night, silencing the eagles with a 78–68 victory. The win sealed a home court final, the third in four years.

The Lions worked hard in the first half, having to deal with a hustling Eagles out-fit that was out to steal a win in The Pit. The Eagles led 15–13 at one point in the first half, Vanguard put their foot down and went on a 10–3 scoring stretch that pushed the margin between the two teams to the biggest lead of the first half. Biola was not to be outdone, and cutting the Vanguard lead to 36–32 at the half-time break. It was freshly crowned GSAC Player of the Year Bridgette Reyes that led the Lions at the half showing her talents to score 11 first half points for the Li-ons. Just like the first half, Biola worked hard to take the lead, and quickly cut the Vanguard lead to one point. With that, the Lions went on another scoring run, responding with 11 points, to the Eagles’ 2. It was Paige Halberg’s five straight points that gave the Lions their biggest lead of the game of 62–47.

The Eagles could not come back from the deficit, eventually handing the Lions a nice ten point victory, and a shot at another GSAC championship. Reyes led the Lions with 28 points and nine rebounds, while All-GSAC forward Rachel Cope-land dropped 15 points and pulled down six rebounds of her own. Senior Diana Neves, said the game was a great way to prepare for the championship game. “We have the final on Monday night, and the close game was good preparation to take on Westmont. If we continue to play hard like we have, then we will get the championship,” she said.

The Lions brought home the GSAC championship in a thrilling 68–66 victory over Westmont College. In the NAIA tournament, the first-seeded Lions were eliminated by Lee University, and they ended the season with a 27–3 record.

BaseballThe hot start for this year’s baseball team continued into Golden State Athletic Conference play as the Lions battled Azusa Pacific and The Master’s College. Coming into league play with an overall record of 8–1, the four games against Azusa would be their first true test of the season. “As a team we hate to lose so we’ll do whatever it takes to win,” junior Brandon Pesante said. The Lions responded well, with a come from behind victory in three of the four contests. After the series with the Cougars was complete, the Lions were riding high on a 12–1 record including 4–0 in conference play. “I’ve never been on a team with this much potential,” senior captain Zach Leighton said.

Next to test Vanguard were the Mustangs from The Master’s College. The Lions were playing well coming off a high scoring double header against Azusa and had momentum going into this series. “If we lose a game this year its not because the other team beat us but because we beat ourselves,” Pesante said. The Lions won two close games 3–2 and 4–3, respectively. The weekend doubleheader did not fair as well for Vanguard as they lost 2-3 in the first game before having game two rained out. This left the Lions with an overall record of 15–2, 6–1 in GSAC competition. As of March 27, the Lions boasted a 25–6 overall record, 16–4 in conference play.

“I haven’t been a part of a team like this, in terms of both talent and chemistry,” senior captain Keegan Freeman said. “We are just having fun.”

SoftballThe softball team returned to action this year, going on the road to play their opening conference match-up against the Sea Lions of Point Loma Naza-rene. These games came after splitting their last match-up against CSU San Mar-cos. After splitting this series, the Lions were sat at 9–5 overall record for the season.

In the first game, the Lions made costly mistakes which the Cougars took advan-tage of, eventually handing the Lions their sole loss for the day, 3–0. Afterwards, Vanguard returned to the field and played a smart ball game, winning 2–0 be-hind phenomenal pitching by freshman Katharine Jablonski. The win improved their record to 10–6 for the season.

Jablonski showed great signs of what Vanguard has in store for the remaining games this season. After a few days of practice, the Lions traveled to Point Loma where they looked to improve their overall record and get two early wins in con-ference play. The Lions fought hard in the first game, losing 0–3. The second game also ran along the same lines, as the Lions endured a punishing loss by a score of 0–13, which ended in only five innings.

As of March 27, the Lions were 4–8 in the GSAC and 20–16 overall.

Track & FieldNine athletes competed in the 45th Annual NAIA Indoor National Cham-pionships in Jackson City, Tennessee. Vanguard came away with one team award and multiple All-Americans. The men’s team received the NAIA’s Team Cham-pions of Character Award at the pre-competition.

Preliminaries began where senior Rebecca Sopp, junior Christian de Glymes and the women’s Distance Medley Relay team opening up the competition for the Lions. Sopp ran well enough to qualify for the 5,000 meter finals, however, de Glymes fell 11 seconds short of making his 5,000 meter finals, and the DMR squad missed out on theirs by 20 seconds.

Friday bought out the sprinters and hurdlers as well as more distance runners. Three-time Indoor All-American Aze Perkins won his first 60 meter hurdle heat handily, and did well enough in his semi-final race to break his own school record in the event and gain a birth into the finals to be run on Saturday. Sophomore Morgan Rose gave a valiant effort but fell a mere two seconds shy of qualifying in his 600 meter race. Last to run for Vanguard was sophomore Megan Williams, who brought her cross country All-American legs onto the track and qualified in the women’s 3,000 meter race.

Vanguard started off well after Aze Perkins launched his way to sixth place in the 60 meter hurdles, earning him his third Indoor All-American honors. Shortly after Perkins’s race, senior Kelsie Davis began her quest for high jump glory. Davis would go on to jump an impressive 5’5” on her way to placing fifth overall and gaining her second All-American award in as many years. Williams’s 3,000 meter final was next on tap for Vanguard, and she did not disappoint. Williams finished sixth in her final race, earning her first ever Indoor All-American honor. Capping off the meet was senior Rebecca Sopp, who crossed the tape in a blis-tering 17:52 time for her 5,000 meter final, good enough for fifth place and All-American honors.

Men’s TennisThe season started off well enough, with the men’s tennis team winning three in a row after dropping their non-conference opener to UC Riverside 2–5. After the loss, Vanguard rattled off its three wins against GSAC opponents Hope International, Point Loma, and Biola. Vanguard won these matches easily, de-feating their opponents by an overall margin of 22–5.

After the early success came a sudden, unexpected downturn in play. The Lions would drop their first GSAC match to Concordia. Three days later, the Lions would host the Cougars, losing to Azusa in Costa Mesa for the first time since 2006. Top-ranked Fresno Pacific dominated Vanguard across the board. Only sophomore Lucas Pereira was able to win his duel on that day, coming from be-hind to defeat Fresno’s Alex Gonzalez in three sets. Since then, the team has bounced back. As of March 27, the men’s tennis team was 9–5 overall, 6–4 in conference play.

Women’s TennisWomen’s tennis has yet to achieve the consistency they have shown in the past. Vanguard opened the season with a dominant performance against Hope International, which the Lions won 9–0. After that the Lions would go on to lose to Point Loma at home.

The Lions bounced back with another convincing win over Biola, sweeping the match 9–0. However, with the win came another lose to follow it up. Azusa rolled into town and controlled the match from the beginning and would go onto defeat the Lions 2–7.

As of March 27, the Lions were still rolling. They held a 9–5 overall record and a 6–5 conference record.

SwimmingThe inaugural season for the swim team at Vanguard has come to a close. It can be viewed as a success, since few believed the team would be able to compete nationally in their first season as collegiate program. Vanguard finished well:

The women’s 200 yard Medley Relay team made up of Hannah Szpyrka, Jessica Morales, Davina Ellis, and Tabitha Espineli placed 24th in a time of 2:11.68.

The men’s 200 yard Medley relay team of Joseph Sanders, Ryan Hastings, Jona-than Robinson, and Poonsak Zithisakthanakul placed 18th in a time of 1:53.61.

The women’s 200 yard freestyle relay team of Szpyrka, Morales, Ellis, and Espineli placed 26th in a time of 1:54.79.

The men’s 200 yard freestyle relay team of Sanders, Hastings, Robinson, and Zithisakthanakul placed 18th with a total time of 1:36.83.

The women’s 400 yard Freestyle Relay team of Szpyrka, Morales, Ellis, and Es-pineli placed 22nd in a time of 4:09.59.

Senior Davina Ellis was the one Lion to qualify and compete individually. She placed 41st in the women’s 50 yard freestyle with a time of 26.17. Ellis also placed 35th in the 100 yard Freestyle with a time of 57.16.

With the season now finished, the Lions look forward to next year, when they will no longer be the new students at every meet. This year’s swim program builds up the strength of Vanguard Athletics. Congratulations on a successful first season!
