: Cheryl Goff tWhere have you been?' For once it isn't your parents who ask . . . ear Mom, D I can't begin to tell you how many different people I've met this first week. My suitemate is from Wiscon- sin too, and has even heard of Franksville. I met a girl in the dinner line who worked at camp with me this summer. There's a girl across the hall that came all the way from India. And you won't believe this - my roommate is an honest-to-goodness Southern belle. Sound familiar? One of the greatest benefits of attending Evangel is making friends with people from anywhere between Germany and Ohio who have done everything from preaching in Africa to waitressing at McDonald's. For instance, Anne Butterfield, a junior transfer from Northwest College in Seattle, spent the last year working as a library technician for the United States Army in Korea, where her parents are stationed as missionaries. Another junior, Dara Brannan, stayed in Springfield with her W parents over the summer. She worked at Medi-Center as a nurse's aid and reports that Springfield is indeed just as boring in the summer as it is during the school .year. Senior Sharon Corey had lla fun but sometimes mon- otonous summer with her family in Liverpool, New York. She saved spending money by working at an ice cream parlor and also did volunteer work at a summer school fdr the educable mentally retarded. Lia Moscato, a senior from Montreal, Quebec, also went home for the summer break. After almost a month of, job-searching, she landed an administrative secretarial posi- tion in a multi-national com- pany, Canadian Air Liquid, Limited. Two freshmen, Karl Fleig and Cheryl Deken, both came from Ohio. Fleig worked in Cincinnati at a Malibu race- track as a pit attendant. Miss Deken, who is from Akron, was employed in several different factories working under a temporary services program. p Terry Durnell Terry Dulnell After just three months of working with New Church Development, David Bergstrom, senior, fell in love with Connecticut. He was involved in door-to-door witnessing and taught Sunday school. Marcie Kern, junior, decorates her room with a tapestry from Africa.

l 3' 1 :4 12 Where have YOU been Refreshments, utensils, and sports equipment are all a necessary part of transferring to Evangel for Kerry Kirk, sophomore. Miss Kirk spent the summer as an assistant manager for Things Remembered. 5 ' 2 , Terry Dunc! Patiently waiting for their departure, this team of studenl-missionaries sit in Kennedy airport. The team left for Africa on May 8, 1980. tWhere have YOU been? Not everyone spent the summer working part-time and living with Mom and Dad. Senior loe Sauro found only one month to visit friends and relatives in his hometown, Montreal, Canada. The other - three months, he was minister- ing with Gentle Expressions, a drama and musical group made up of Evangel College students, as they toured the United States and Canada. One look at sophomore Jeff Hittenberger's blond hair and your first guess is that he is an ex-lifeguard from a California beach. Guess again. He ministered for two months in Tanzania and two weeks in Kenya during the summer with seven other Evangel students under the Mobilization and Placement Service tMAPSl program of the Assemblies of God. Preaching and children's ministeries oc- cupied most of his time. And then there are those lucky students who started the summer alone in their home- town, living for letters and phone calls from that special person they met at Evangel, XLttZ lISTERDAI KLBtQ A!STERDAI Wig a wwwxx w a we :thn t a and ended it by getting mar- ried. Tom Marvin and Marilyn Barnett, both seniors, did just that. He spent the summer in Traverse City, Michigan while she was in Ft. Worth, Texas. On August 2, 1980, they made sure that that will never happen again. As the months pass by, the strange faces become familiar ones with names and back- grounds and peculiar habits that become special memories. Making friends with people you wouldn't have met at the local university is a part of the Evangel experience - a part that every student appreciates. Well, Mom, I've gotta get in the dinner line because it's almost 6 pm. and that's when the football players eat. I met this one with blond hair and brown eyes that's majoring in biblical studies and he even played for Ohio State one year. If I get in line at five 'til six I could be right in front of him. See, this weekend is Bachelors' Bonanza and I'm hoping . . . - Eileen Troupia e ..iV lOIOPM Beth Trimble
