Piano, Rudimerzlr of Murif, Sigh! Singing MRS. JESTON BLEWITT FACULTY R Iulrodurlion 10 Proph- ecy, Propbery I, II, and Ill Qs-.6 n 1 ' ' FRANK M. BOYD .l . There is never a dull moment in the classes of Cordas C. Burnett. Having a jovial disposition, he capitalizes on his sense of humor to maintain stu- dent interest. In American History, it is not un- usual for this energetic instructor to accomplish the task of starting a war, fighting it, and signing the peace treaty in one period. Brother Burnett t loyally adheres to the Bible as Gods special reve- lation to man. In teaching Apologetics he thor- oughly equips his students to defend the Bible as such. Because of his forceful presentation of truth, students await with anticipation his messages in morning chapel. ,,23,,. Ameriran Hirlofy, Apolagelirr, Epiyller I, lxzlmdurlion to Pbilora- pby, Logic' Teaching music is a pleasure to Mrs. jeston Blewitt. A thorough understanding of piano tech- nique enables her to meet the needs of struggling pianists. When a pupil encounters difhcult scales, chords, or inversions, she patiently explains the problem. Her joy when a student succeeds is be- trayed by an almost breathless manner and smile. Realizing the importance of music in the church, Mrs. Blewitt directs her students to a higher level of music appreciation. Her unselfish aim in teach- ing is to train students, not for the present alone, but for a future ministry. Frank M. Boyd, instructor in prophecy, has made such extensive study in this field and preached so many prophetic messages that his associates have often called him the prophet . His vast store- house of knowledge and his direct method of teaching simplify this dith- cult subject. Not only do Brother Boyd's students leave his classes with an in- creased knowledge of prophecy, but also with a determination to apply themselves more diligently in all their work. His busy life adds emphasis to his advice, Don't waste your time and Gods, learn to practice self-discipline. CORDAS C. BURNETT

Now if you're good . . This all inclusive phrase is often heard in j. Robert Ashcroft's classes. In making an assignment he says, If you're good, you have already read this chapter g in class dis- cussions of human problems, If you're good, you'll make the right adjustment. A contagious enthusiasm and a marked interest in people lend vitality to his classes. The contribution of any stu- dent is heartily welcomed and discussed. Since Brother Ashcroft is not content with the mere memorization of facts, his students apply the prin- ciples of psychology to life-like situations. Perfection requires a beginning. The Spanish classroom is the place to begin speaking Spanish, says Mrs. H. C. Ball, so she allows a minimum of English in conducting her class. Scripture readings, student prayers, and class conversation in Spanish lend practicality to the course. Her thirty years of experience in Latin America have afforded her a rich back- ground for an effective teaching minis- try. The students gain an insight into the culture and spiritual needs of the Spanish people, as well as proficiency in the language. The time taken from her busy life to teach this class is evi- dence of her missionary vision.

BALL Ill Students will not soon forgetthe whole-hearted manner with which Elmer Bilton conducts the song service in morning chapel. His ministry in music has added richly to the life of each student in school. Having conducted his own radio program during his pastoral work, he has gained an appre- ciation of the place of music in ministry. Brother Bilton motivates his students to their best efforts by such admonitions as Remember God can win souls through radio broadcasting. Those enrolled in his classes have gained more than textbook theoryg they have had experience.

We can only evaluate our souls and the souls of others after we have seen Calvary, declares Rob- ert W. Cummings, Director of the Missionary Department. His instruction is Cross-centered. Drawing from years of missionary experience in India, he imparts to students a vision of a Spirit- filled ministry on the foreign field. They are awak- ened to the necessity of first intimately knowing Him who has sent them before they can become true missionaries. Because of Brother Cummings' linguistic aptitude and training, he is able to give students practical language instruction as well as spiritual inspiration. When Mrs. David Drake is the instruc- tor, music lessons are not uninterestingg neither is textbook material dull. Her animation and remarkable sense of hu- mor are manifested in every phase of her life. Helpfulness characterizes her, for in addition to the attention given the individual student in the classroom, Mrs. Drake gladly conducts special help classes. Under her capable guidance, sounds become scale tones, melodies become harmony on paper, and fingers and minds come to know and to remem- ber. By patience and kindness she en- courages students to strive for mastery in music.

Miss Erika Eichler has encouraged her students with the idea that musical talent can be acquired as well as inherited. She has the individual student at heart and does her utmost in assisting him in his efforts. Varied class activities include interest- ing discussions, vocal numbers rendered by class members, and singing bees which are greatly en- joyed by all. Throughout the year, the girls' chorus has rendered selections of beauty and inspiration under her capable direction. Through her patience and friendliness, Miss Eichler has helped endue students with a portion of her enthusiastic interest in music.
