90 Years on Mission

50 Years of Chargers

Three LBC Chargers athletic teams have marked the historic milestone of 50 seasons! The men’s basketball team began play during the 1972-73 season under Coach Dean Spencer, and the women’s team started that same season as well under the guidance of Coach Sara Lauffer. Men’s soccer was the next Chargers team to hit the 50-season mark, beginning on the pitch in 1973 and coached by Tom Figart Jr. Men’s baseball has the next longest history, ready to mark 45 years in 2024. Keep up with all the LBC athletics action during this 90^th anniversary year at lbcchargers.com.

A Truck Named Clyde
Students from the ’80s and ’90s may remember “the LBC Truck” named Clyde, who was purchased by LBC during Dr. Gilbert A. Peterson’s presidency, made many campus appearances and in parades throughout Lancaster County. Ownership was then transferred to George and Patricia (’08) Hauber, and for 20 years, George cared for the 1933 Ford Model B metallic “satellite silver” pickup, complete with its original cab, doors, lights and grill as well as oak rails that displayed LBC’s founding year: 1933. Clyde returns to LBC Sept. 25 for Founder’s Day through Homecoming Sept. 30.
