From Dr. Mitchell's view it appeared as if an innocent passer- by had opened the door by mistake. A look from the door- knob down, however, revealed the grand sight of junior Tim Raven crawling in on his hands and knees. He took a seat on the stairs and posed his open note- book on his lap as if he'd been there for hours. Mission accom- plished! r Cquoted from the Uplookj Jan. 25-New junior class V.P.

Jan. 21-22-Lower East Wing Retreats Cindy Halverson's dorm sec- tion headed out to Mrp 'Kopp's cabin in a car that had a distinct problem. The station wagon acted up all the way, jerking as if Forum having convulsions. All wondered if they were going to make it up some of those hills! Eventually arriving at the cabin, the group prepared the highlight of the weekend, food- wise: steak, baked potatoes, green beans, and bread. The evening was spent sharing, using a ball of red yarn. The yarn was used for an object lesson on being bound together in Christ- tossed from person to person, the resultant criss-crossing strands looked like a web spun by a giant mixed-up spider. Saturday was spent on the beach, collecting shells, drift- wood, and sand in their shoes. Tillamook Cheese Factory was visited by some on the return trip home. Cindy was still dealing with the convulsing station wagon, it died about two blocks from the school but she was able to finally restart it. Jan. 25-Accomplished: Mission Impossible Anyone who's ever had him knows that sneaking in late to one of Dr. Mitchell,s classes in next to impossible. I person brave enough to enter at all once the pre-lecture murmur has died is greeted by one of Dr. Mitchell's corner-of- the-eye stares and perhaps a quip or two about backsliding in late. Twenty minutes late into today's Acts-Philemon class the door of B-1 opened just a crack and two little eyes peered in. A moment later it opened very slowly.

It must have been Jeff's off day as he was the only one to sink into the mud or fall. off the logs..,Fu1ly drenched, Jeff decided to., remove his wet clothing and alfbw them to dry. It took some persuading, but Jeff finally got two guys to loan him their shirts, which he tied toga- style aroundfhisgvyaist. 1 -s l When one tithe f'bombs gave out on the 'way home, it was Jeff, still clothed in his skirt of shirts, who had to stand out in the cold to fix the car.

Suddenly, a car smacked into it from behind. Little Karman lay completely crushed and crumpled, the offending car settling on top of its roof. What had Little Karman done to deserve such a condition, totaled beyond recognition'?iThe offending car had come from further up the hill. Its owner had carelessly set the hand brake and left the clutch in neutral. What a sight-a driverless car hurtling down the....hi1l,, wipingout poor Little Karmanf All was not a total loss, however, for Little Karman's owner. The insurance company's settlement, combined with an offer for what was left of Little Karrnarfs useable parts, left quite a nice lump in Terry's wallet.

Feb. 12-Hunky-Dory Party Going on at the same time as the Valentine's banquet was the Second Annual Hunky-dory party in the A-Frame. Credit goes to Dub Newton, Bob Reinsch, and Brent Meeks for pulling it all together.

This finale required the top ' person to eat the banana baton the team had carried around on its activities. Fortun- ately, a new banana was supplied as the banana batons came back mangled, squashed, massacred, munched, mushy, peeled, dirty, grimmy, grungy-not one banana returned edible!
