. . . jar if ia in flue fufur An outburst of applause greets Rever- end Van Staalduinen, dean of Calvin Sem- inary, as he rises to deliver his address on The Christian in a Non-Christian World. The scene is the new Calvin College Audi- torium, recently built by the A. Visbeen Construction Co., whose president and owner is A1 Visbeen. It is August 16, 1964. the final night of the Youth's Bible Confer- ence, which is held annually during the week of August 10-16, at Calvin College. Rev. Van Staalduinen is the main speaker, and his address embodies the theme of the conference. Looking over the audience from my seat in the balcony I notice many celebrities in the audience. On my left were Bernie De Leeuw, and Al De Roo, known to thousands of basketball fans as the mainstays of the great New York Knickerbocker team. Sit- ting directly in front of them was Stu Sisco, Knickerbocker coach, with his Mrs., the former Susan Sonderfan. Behind this group I saw Don Struyk, professor of inorganic chemistry at Calvin College, sitting beside Don Iongbloed, famous engineer. On my right I noticed Marilyn Drukker, Society Editor for the New York Times, sitting with Marjorie Van Kluyve, famous radio comedienne. Behind them were sit- ting Bernard Van Heemst, young president of the Van Heemst Publishing Co., and Richard Houskamp, famous horticulturist, noted for his experiments with flowers. Seeing no more people whom I recog- nized, I took out my copy of the program for the evening to see what I had missed by arriving late. The program this last eve- three selections by the Calvin College Choir under the direction of Garret Hage- dorn, noted choral director. Featured with the group as soloist was Elizabeth Van Dyk, the great singing star of the Metropolitan ning of the Conference had opened with 38 CLASS Opera House. Following the choir were two short dissertations: one, by Rev. Howard Rienstra, on Ministry as a Profession g the other by Henrietta Faber on Being a Mis- sionary. Next Agnes Van Ostenbridge, re- nown concert pianist, played two selections, both composed by Barney Kamp, who had recently come into the limelight with his delightful melodies. Suddenly there was a bright flash, and I became aware of Albert Vanden Berg tak- ing pictures for his paper, the Daily Bugle. Very near him was Nancy Pelgrim, hurriedly taking notes for her story in the same paper, which is owned by Helen Sikkema and has Marie Hoogenhuis as its Editor. Rev. Van Staalduinen having ended his talk, I took an opportunity to mentally re- view the past week's hurried activities. Monday and Tuesday had both been de- voted to discussing aspects of Christian medicine. The committee in charge of ob- taining speakers for the conference, com- posed of Eleanor De Vries, Russell Voor- man, Carolyn Vroon, and Arthur Hooger- hyde, all four figures noted in the literary world, presented several speakers on Christian medicine. Wendell Rooks spoke on Christian Psychiatry, Ivan Tanis spoke on The Doctor's Slant g Edward Gall spoke on Psychology: and Wilma Lamring spoke on Nursing. Wednesday and Thursday were devoted to Christian politics. Again there were four speakers: Henry Kort, on Na- tional Politicsg Ray Sisco, on Lawp Ann Sy- besma, on Women In Politics g and Ianet De See, on The Christian's Relation to Democracy. On Friday and Saturday, the Conference was the seat of discussion on current books. Among those discussed, were books by lack De long, author of Origin of Christian Philosophy p Bert Bysterbusch, au- thor of The German Anti-Christ g Henry Douma, writer of the series of volumes on
