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.

ROY BOTRUFF “As a boy I attended Sunday School., but as a young man 1 turned to my own way like so many others. At the age of twenty-one 1 came under the conviction of the Holy Spirit, and accepted Christ as my Saviour. This was followed by a period of indifferent and careless living until the Lord dealt with me regarding separation and service for Him. His first call was to a small country church where 1 ministered while continuing in secular work, but the Lord soon called me to a full time ministry, and eventually to B. B. I. for further preparation. Among other things, I have learned the lesson that those whom Cod thrusts forth to His harvest, never travel alone. FRED BRANDOU I thank God for His saving grace in saving, keep- ing and satisfying, and 1 praise Him even though faced at tiroes with affliction, suffering and tempta- tion. In Acts 20:24 we read, “None of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, io testify ihe Gospel of the grace of God.” LOWELL BUSH Three years at B. B. 1. are finished, and blessed memories w ill ever linger in my heart. The days of exams, with the word “discuss from Mr. Quincer, and being on the spot with Mr. Dahl berg are over, but when it comes to study—I’m just learning how. I do thank God for His love and mercy to me here at school, and in drawing me nearer to Him, thus giving me the desire above all else to do and go where He leads. I know’ my God will he with me as He was with Joshua (1:9), “Whithersoever thou goest.” Fifteen
