To Mr. GoeKer the words create in me nave a personal meaning- lnspire — pro- voke me to challenge myself, to realize my potential, but aiso to recognize my weak- nesses — so that I may better realize the need for my Savior and His blessings. He says creativity is a social need for man and for the betterment of others. In the classroom, he tries to encourage his students to probe int wbqpKyjBe and what ' h jiifn lilrr infl mT Reives honestly ideals, them— bJ When a H his worshij replied. Yes, definitely, since God is cen- tral to all creation— whether we realize or not He feels that God ' s Spirit is alive in people and helping them to inspire and provoke others to creativity.

Do you have a better idea? Talking to the kids about the Clean-up Campaign, most were found to be rather doubtful as to it ' s success — most were upset at the idea of getting out of school early just because they did something they should have been doing anyway I don ' t think you should have to bribe people into cleaning up the campus But I think that ' s the only way you ' re gonna get them to do anything they ' re gonna do something more if they get something out of it. I ' m not going to work my buns off all week long just to get out of school early. It isn ' t worth it for me I don ' t have a babe to come home to I don ' t think people even realize they ' re doing it, I know I never thought much about it until it was brought to my attention. It ' s not going to work— the red flag is up all the time and that means we ' re not doing our job. Most people don ' t care, they ' d rather go to school the extra forty minutes than pick up paper. I think most people don ' t want to bother they don ' t think of what the school would look like if the janitors didn ' t come every night and clean up they expect someone else to pick it up for them. We were brought up like it didn ' t matter people are gonna have to wake up. Bribing people may be a bad way of doing it — but if it ' s gonna work, do you have a better idea?

The most familiar face in the library is undoubtedly Mr. Ed Wittmer. He serves as library card inspector, book-sorter and finder, bouncer, and head of the Industrial Arts Department. When he is able to solve a problem which will benefit many people, he feels God most powerfully in him ' only He who creates, can create in me and through me. I alone am powerless to create unless God graciously gives me this blessing. He considers creativity in his life a major part of living. He says, It ' s the whole ball of wax in a Christian life and the only way mankind will see a need for God. In class, Mr. Wittmer witnesses the changed lives of individual students through their developing skills. I feel drafting builds an attitude toward creating and teaches the skills to achieve it. He feels Christians fail themselves when they are too lazy to use the gift of creation which God gave them. He would like to spend a sabbatical year drafting in industry.
