The positive value of this class was evi- dent in several discussions with students. Alright, let's get started. Last day we talked about private campsg now we will take a look at some of them. Mr. Paul Meier often used slides to effectively supplement his teaching. In class students always felt at ease knowing he welcomed comments at any time. The broad scope of cam ps com- pelled Mr. Meier to present a wide coverage of situations. After dis- cussing the extremely- decentralized camp he explained, Well, this is it. I wanted you to know the danger of the extremes so that you can analyze and find a balance. More than mere facts, years of experience have enabled him to offer valuable advice. Frieda Schmidt observed, Even in Pioneer Girls we apply principles like treating all the girls equally and we take into consideration their attention span in our program plan- ning. Gerald Klosse added, He knows what he's talking about and knows solutions to some of the problems. Janet Kerns, who previously had worked in camp, reflected, The things I learned by observation and experience are put into words. Things learned in class hit 'dead on' to some of my experiences. For a person not interested in camping, this course can really rouse his concern. I think camps are needed on mission fields, and missionaries should know how to effectively use camping, conclud- ed Russ Engevik. This course resulted in motivating students for the future. Dean Ward's response was, I can see the necessity of getting a camp started which is Chirst-centered. Camping can only be effective if we allow the Lord to be the centre in every aspect of the camp.

Ephesians - eat Not Milk Did you finish 'The BeIiever's Relationship to the Kingdom of Darkness? one girl asked Ina Goodhart about the Ephesians assignment. Yes, I did it in outline form. I found it much easier that way. Ephesians is an exegesis course designed to develop a students ability to analyze and articulate the epistle's essential interpretation. Mr. Graeme Crouch enjoys teaching the class. It is a senior course which allows me to present the 'meat' of the book rather than just the 'milk'. Most students found that ln- troduction to Exegesis and Prin- ciples of Biblical Interpretation helped them to do better in-depth study. One student felt that creative writing for English had helped him. Assignments are geared to get the student to expound a passage clearly. Paul's two long prayers have stuck with me because we had to dig deeply into them, rea- lized Al Arena. Karen Hershberger also noticed, The word studies are especially valuable and thought provoking. Class lectures are very helpful, as Mr. Crouch gives invaluable verse by verse exposition with pointed, personal illustrations, commented Deanna Olfert. Mr. Crouch's way of teaching is simple and honest, another student add- ed. ln class there is liberty to voice opinions. After a class discussion on Election, Jake Wall said, My understanding concerning this subject is much clearer than it was before. 'This course gives more depth into Ephesians than we had time for in regular Bible classes, said Irene Jensen. Another student stated, It is one course you can't glide through. Assignments are difficult but rewarding. Students feel the knowledge gained makes it all worthwhile! Margaret Chugg
