Rev. Robert Wilson Miss Krogel is our registrar and secre¬ tary. If you were to step into the office any day of the week you would find her busy working. Her duties include typing, book¬ keeping, and answering correspondence. She also publishes the school’s bi-monthly bul¬ letin. Students first become acquainted with Miss Krogel through application and accept¬ ance letters prior to coming to school. Then when we finally do arrive, she is one of the first staff members we meet. The beginning of the term is a busy time for Sis. Krogel, registering each student and accepting payment of fees. Her efficient work and ready smile are appreciated by everyone. Miss Krogel’s duties also include instruc¬ tion of the typing course offered to second and third year students. This occupies her time for four periods a week. She assists in the operation of the F.G.B.I. store as well. Singing in the choir is one of the extra curricular activities in which Miss Krogel joins the students. She also enjoys skating on the school’s rink. Although Miss Krogel’s position is admin¬ istrative she has a concern for the spiritual welfare of each student. We know that the Lord will bless her as she continues to serve Him. Bro. Wilson is a man who has found a place in every student’s heart. He graduated in 1952, and then pastored until he became a member of the faculty in 1956. When Bro. Wilson first came to Bible School he had no idea that he would be fulfilling the position of a teacher in later years. We know that God has really dealt with his life and that it is fully consecrated to the Master’s service. His life is an example to every student, for he fully trusts and depends on the leading of the Holy Spirit. His classes in Acts, Theology and Christology are classes never to be forgotten. Bro. and Sis. Wilson’s home is always open to the students. You will find them partici¬ pating in most student activities. He is the third year class sponsor. Bro. Wilson is a skilled carpenter. He makes this his spare time hobby. He is a man with a life for God, and a love for others. Miss Pearl Krogel THE MOST SOLEMN THING IN THE WORLD IS OUR ACCOUNTABILITY TO GOD.

Rev. Glen McLean We as a student body are truly grateful for the instruction given by Bro. Marshall. During the months we spend here, he imparts to us his love for Christ. We will never forget our debt to him nor our greater usefulness due to the mark he has made upon us, and that added incentive which we have received from a glimpse of his vision. Each year Bro. Marshall teaches the first year class: Early Church History, the Gospel of John chap ter one to seven, and False Cults. He teaches the second year class: Medieval Church History, the Gospel of John chapters eight to fourteen. Congregational Conducting, and Christian Evidence. His teaching ministry to the third year class includes: Modern Church History, the Gospel of John chapters fifteen to twenty-one, General Biblical Intro¬ duction, and Christian Evidence. Bro. Marshall was relieved of his position as Dean so that he would be able to spend more time as music director. We are thankful for the instruction we have received in inis department. Bro. Marshall has said, “The subjects you like best, you teach best.” We have no doubt that he likes his subjects. We thank God for Bro. Marshall’s teach¬ ing and also for his influence for Christ in our lives. Brother G. S. McLean was appointed to the office of President by the Bible School Board in the spring of 1959. He had been the Principal of the Institute from its inception in 1944. We trust that God will lead and guide him in this his new position. As a faculty member he teaches the first year class, The Holy Spirit and the first 8 chapters of the Epistle of Romans. He also teaches chapters 9 to 16 of the Epistle of Romans to the second year class, and a study of the Tabernacle to the third year class. The students have appreciated the sound teaching of Bro. McLean. With vivid descrip¬ tions and practical illustrations from every¬ day life, he clarifies numerous difficult points. There is never a time when Bro. McLean is too busy to speak to the students person¬ ally; and very often a thoughtful word brings cheer to a discouraged student. Bro. McLean’s rich experiences gleaned from his many years of Christian service help him tremendously in his busy schedule. Since 1941 he has been the pastor of the Eston Full Gospel Church. Today he is still faithfully fulfilling his duties to his Assembly, and is also a very vital part of the Bible School. Each one of us will remember not only the teaching we have received from Bro. McLean but also the example of his holy life for Christ. Rev. Albert Marshall 10 T HE WHO TEACHES THE WORD OF GOD IS NEVER A SCHOLAR: HE IS ALWAYS A STUDENT.

We have come to appreciate Brother Crowder’s enthusiasm in teaching us how to reach children with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through his classes the need for ‘trained’ Vacation Bible School teams, and for ‘trained’ Bible Club teachers. He opens the door to an almost unlimited field of service in this phase of the Work of God. Brother Crowder teaches the first year students Pedagogy. In this course we study the scriptural basis of teaching, the methods of Jesus the master teacher, and the applica¬ tion of these methods to Sunday School teaching today. We learn the laws of teach¬ ing and the methods of lesson preparation and presentation. In second year he teaches Child Study. We must be familiar with the characteristics and needs of each age group if we are to effec¬ tively meet the spiritual needs of children. To enable us to do this, we study the physical, mental, social and spiritual characteristics of each age group from infancy to adulthood. The third year class learns Sunday School Administration. We realize that to operate effectively and efficiently, a Sunday School must be properly organized. Pupils must be grouped according to their learning ability and their needs. Teachers and officers must be trained. We study the requirements of a successful Sunday School and how to put them into practice. Bro. Crowder has been a member of the faculty since 1950. Rev. Wilbert Crowder Since the opening of the Bible School, Bro. Burnside’s positions have varied. His first connection with the Bible School was as a board member. In 1956 he became the busi¬ ness manager. This year he became our Dean, thus his responsibilities are greatly increased. His sincere interest in young people enables him to fill this position very well. Bro. Burnside is always ready and willing to listen to our problems and give us his helpful advice. Although, at times we may not show it, we truly do appreciate his deep concern for each individual student. Apart from his school activities, Bro. Burnside has the added responsibility of teaching the Young People’s Sunday School class in the Eston Assembly each Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon he travels to Brock and ministers the word there. It isi needless to say his efforts in Brock have been much appreciated, during the last two years Although the school term ends in April, we find Bro. Burnside busily engaged as M an¬ ager for Trossachs Camp throughout the summer months. We do thank the Lord for this man whom He has so wondrously used in the molding of young lives for the ministry. May God richly bless him from day to day, and keep him ever looking upward for strength to ful¬ fill his duty to God and the school. Mr. Ronald Burnside f THE DEBTS WE OWE TO GOD ARE PAYABLE TO MAN.
