While we all had our individual experiences at HAC/FBCH, I'm sure we can talk of both good times and bad times.  This thread is for us to share the good times we had.  Maybe it was an activity, a class, a ministry, a friend, etc.  Tell us about something you truly enjoyed at HAC/FBCH.

*As always, one story or thought per post.
 
The pick up basketball games were a blast!  We would get a group of guys to meet at the gym and we would play for hours. 
 
I always enjoyed Dr. Hyles' Wednesday evening Bible studies at FBCH.
 
Starting a lifelong journey of living by faith in the provision of Godin good times & tough times .
 
Eating at the dining hall!  Oops, wrong thread... 8)
 
Playing ping pong especially on Saturday nights.  One of the staff members was a member of a ping pong club in Chicago.  He would bring different members to play.  Great times!
 
Usually once a year Dr. Hyles would come to chapel and announce some special upcoming days.  During chapel there were usually skits and a lot of exciting announcements about the next two or three days.  During my HAC days we did not have Spring Break.  I think it was there way of giving us a little mercy. 
 
One of the most practical classes I took was something called something like, "Practical Writing" taught by Mrs. Barber. It was practical for that time & the low tech printing & document creation of the times (e.g., the early 80's when I graduated).

But the class was most helpful in teaching proper form & format for church stationary,  forms & documents.
 
Hanging out with friends in the dining hall area during an evening off work. 
 
I enjoyed watching some of the high strung HACkers have some shouting fits during fiery preaching during chapel in the old chapel building.
 
I enjoyed Thursday evening during Pastor's School.
 
Youth Ministry Bible Clubs.
 
Fellow Busworkers.  Greatest people in the world.
 
As a couple we had so little extra while at HAC but we were able to save for a trip to Shakey's once in a while.
