fav' Safara A. Witmer, AB., M.A., Ph.D., LLD. reziiclenf The desire to see Fort Wayne Bible Col- lege develop in every aspect worthy of its Christ-centered foundation has been the mo- tivating force behind President Safara A. Witmer. He has sought constantly to im- prove the educational opportunities, and at the same time to hold the spiritual standards high. Keen foresight and determination have combined in Dr. Witmer, resulting in not only visionary future possibilities of the Collegeg but also in the drive which accom- plishes the steady development necessary now. We have learned to appreciate his friend- liness and his confidence in the student body. Though he is often pressed with his various duties, he retains a personal interest in the welfare of the individual student. God has been gracious in providing Dr. Witmer as our guide while in college, We are assured that with Gods blessing upon our president, Fort Wayne Bible College shall continue to train many for the service of the King. Dr. and Mrs. Witmer Dr. Witmer: A good sport. Dr. Wilmer: A consecrated minister

la ,. Lloyd E. Roth, B. Ed., MA. eau of glclucafion With a quiet hand Lloyd Roth controls college class schedules. It is his thoughtful arrangements that provide the well-balanced relationship between class periods and out- side study. Because of this balance many of the students are able to obtain outside jobs which fit conveniently into their schedules. His unassuming manner has influenced the lives of many of the students as an ex- ample of Christian graciousness. His very life is typical of the Bible's command that we esteem our brother higher than ourselves. The pleasure he receives from fellowship with the students is evident from his fre- quent participation in the game of deck tennis. l'm all set to play. Harvey L. Mitchell, A.B., M.A. Regidfrar A quick smile and a ready word charac- terize Harvey Mitchell, the school registrar. Young people interested in attending Fort Wayne Bible College are pleasantly warmed by this man with just that necessary word to settle the many anxieties which seem to land on new-arrivals' shoulders. His cheerful word has often helped to brighten what may have started as a dreary day. Professor Mitchell's classroom lectures are livened by his ability to make words live, and common 'things are made uncommonly easy to remember by his language Wizardry. The humility of his prayers testifies to his knowledge of the power of God. He has been an example of the Bible's admonition to bear one another's burdens. Tell us, we'll laugh, too.
