The members of the club attended different plays throughout the year, the video-taped the plays shown in the area. These were shown for students interested in drama. As an honor club, points had to be earned to become a member. Points are earned by participating in a school play, both for character roles and stage crew roles. A new rule for members was established - every member had to audition for a part in a play presented by the students. Front row: Lisa Rider, Kim Bone, Craig Tavani, Greg Detwiler.

Fifth row: Dave Smith, adviser. T he days of the five- -digit ID numbers have arrived, but there are still a few around who can claim an ID number in the low hundreds. One of these is Dave Douglas, ID number 0434. ' Douglas originally arrived on campus from Ossining, New York in the fall of 1968 as a freshman. He came for three semesters before leaving abruptly at the end of the fall semester, 1969, only to return for the fall semester of 1970. Eight years later, after working as a journeyman car- penter, a retail salesman, and an apprentice electrician, Douglas returned to Evangel. The adjustments were not as numerous as might be expected for a 27-year-old returning to school. Douglas lived in the dorm his first semester back in the spring of 1978, but ironically he didn't have to live with a freshman - :is roommate was older than e. I had decided to really study this time, for: a change, said Douglas, 50 if the noisy freshmen bothered me I just yelled for quiet, but they didn't bother me much. Douglas said he didn't tell his age when he first returned, and most people didn't guess. This year his ID number is what gave him away. In a way, though, I'm inspired to do better on tests because I feel like everyone knows whose number is at the top when scores are posted, he said. In the seven semesters since his return, this biblical studies major served three semesters as a resident assistant in Krause. He served as coordinator for Freesound in 1978-79, as assistant director of SCOPE last year, and this year worked as the DJ for Free- sound on KRFG. Graduating at the age of 30, with training in biblical studies and psychology, Doug- las looks forward to some kind of full-time ministry that re- turning to Evangel, 11,600 ID numbers later prepared him for. Kriss Iayroe Id number 0434 belongs to Dave Douglas, senior, who first came to Evangel in the fall of 1963. He came for three semesters, for the fall semester of 1970 and then returned eight years later. ! Sophomores 1 3 5

H. Wesley Ward, as- sociate professor of poli- ' tical science and history, re- tired at the end of the spring semester. Ward said the Lord spoke to him clearly last summer and revealed to him that it was time to put down in writing what he had lectured about in college classes for the past 12 years: He felt it - was necessary to put down the biblical meaning of political and historical material for the availability of students and professors alike. It is not easy to find Christian material, and secular material doesn't have the slightest idea of biblical princi- Dr. H. Wesley Ward views his retirement not as a retirement, but as a shifting point in his ministry. Ward taught at Evangel for five years. ples of law, commented Ward. Ward taught at six colleges in his career and felt that Evangel was the icing on the cake. He said, It has been a real joy to teach here and it is a nice way to end a career. If it wasn't for the rich experience with students, I don't know if I would still be teaching, Ward said. There are so many different kinds of students and when the Lord begins to open up hearts, they come alive and their minds see the truth of God. In the future, Ward hopes not to lose contact with students, but to continue to be an encouragement to them as he teaches part-time in the department. - Krisslayroe 134 Sophomores AI eeping i drama was Alpha Psi Ome club of drama attended dif throughout t video-taped th the area.

Skogerbo began doing magic in the summer of 1972 while iworking with Bible Time Tent Crusades. Since, then he has Skogerbo, who lives in Rochester, Minnesqta, grew up in Chile where his parents were missionaries. He has always had an interest in Working with children, and since returning to the United States in 1970, has expanded his ministry to performing at banquets and elementary schools. One of his tricks entails cutting a rope, repre- senting man's sepaFation from God. Then by magically restoring it, the magician Christian Conjurer Alan Skoger- bo, junior, uses tricks that teach the Gospel. He is a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Fellowship of Christian Magicians. photo courtesy of Alan Skogerbo Skogerbo presents Gospel Magic demonstrates the wholeness he says could be had through fellowship with God. Skogerbo enrolled at Evan- gel with a double major in Spanish and Communications. I've always been interested in Spanish-speaking people, Skogerbo said. Growing up in Chile and having gone to work in Mexico have caused me to love the people and their culture. I have chosen to come to Evangel so that both majors could someday allow me to produce Spanish Gospel enter- tainment shows on television. Skogerbo was able to do a few magic shows while in Springfield and was also part of the SCOPE team sent to Honduras, Central America to work with missionaries Fernan- do and Rachel Nieto during the Christmas break. 136 Sophomores
