MISS GRACE KNOL In the scenes and behind the scenes works our Dean of Women and Registrar, Miss Grace L. Knob She began her work as registrar of the evening school when it com- menced in Jnnuary, 1941, and at the start of the day school in 1944, assumed the duties and responsibilities of Dean of Women as well as those of Registrar. Her ready smile, her many hours of work, and willing efforts in promoting the general welfare and happiness of the students have won our love, respect, and admiration. Also her talent in music and piano ability has been of rich blessing and inspiration. Truly we can sav that beneficent was the act of God when He placed her in our midst. MR. LEON WOOD Mr. Leon Wood, professor and dean of men, was born in Middleville, Michigan (a source of great men), and graduated from Creston High School, Grand Rapids, in 1936. He attended Grand Rapids Junior College, Hope College, and graduated from Calvin College in 1941, and Calvin Seminary in 1943. He is now taking Post-graduate work at Calvin Seminary. As a counselor he is highly esteemed. He always has a listening ear when approached with problems, and having had many of the same he can give expert advice. As a professor, Mr. Wood is a man to whom God has given the spirit of wisdom and understanding. He has proven his ability as a teacher by holding his classes to the subject, under consideration, especially in theological depart- ments. He also shows signs of undeveloped artistic talent (and all the philosophy students said, ‘ Amen ’). Eleven

MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM WOOD AND FAMILY DORMITORY ADMINISTRATOR Since arriving at Van Osdel Hall in September. 1946, Mr. William V'ood has very capably fulfilled the position of Dormitory Administrator. If you -were to walk into Van Osdel Hall unexpectedly some afternoon, perhaps the conversation that would meet your ear would sound like this; “Mr. Wood, would you fix this door knob?” “D. D., 1 just broke some dishes.” “Mr. wood, . . .” “Mr. Wood, . . “Mr. Wood, . . If we could take a peek into his diary, it would probably read like this: “November 25, 1947. Awakened at 5:30, dressed, rang the buzzer at 6:00 only io find everyone up cramming for exams. Went downstairs to cook breakfast — no hot water. The girls must have taken showers. “When breakfast was over I prepared for school. Crash! One of the girls dropped a tray of glasses. 1 must remember to order some from the wholesaler tomorrow. “School went very smoothly this morning. Went home the fourth hour as usual. Good thing. The baker forgot to bring the bread. Ate lunch. “Lunch over, I repaired the door knob on room 3, and prepared for dinner.” “The menu was very good tonight — roast beef, potatoes, gravy, buttered carrots, pear salad, and ice cream. Oh, yes, I almost forgot — an omelet. “Lights went out this evening. Finally got them fixed. Managed to study a little, and now in a few minutes it will be time to buzz the buzzer for ‘lights out ” Yes, we all have to admit that Mr. Wood has a very busy lime, yet he always hag .a glowing testimony for his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and has truly been a living inspiration to all with whom he comes in contact.
