Rodney McClain, Edmonton, Alta. An artist with a flair for line and design, Rodney is the head of our yearbook c committee. Next time you visit F.G.B.l. notice the class banners in the dining hall three of them are Rod’s work. It’s no secret that he has his heart in evangelism and th he is going deeper in the things of the Lord. Though he is new to our Evangelizers cla.p we’ve come to appreciate his jolly infectious laugh. Since he has a knowledge of thinir culinary, an aspiring Sunday-morning cook often asks, “Rod, will you please mix de pancake batter?’’ T a A heart for the Lord, a buoyant personality, and a host of helpful services for many belong to Nesta. One could describe her thus: socially — pleasing conversationalist; recreationally — ping-pong expert; mentally — alert and busy; creatively — designer of original greeting cards; vocally — member of F.G.B.l. choir; instrumentally — pianist for a male quartet; prayerfully — for Home Mission; characteristically — likes a challenge, willing to help, whole-hearted; pictorially — an assortment of hair styles; habitually — keeps a diary; dutifully — office typist; energetically — Head of Literary Committee; purposefully — a worker on Eston Juniors’ Happy Hour Club; eventually — a worker among the Indians, if the Lord will. Nesta Owen, Vancouver, B.C. Melvin Moorman, St. Brieux, Sask. There s something new about Mel Moorman this year and it’s the change in ffl smtle. There’s something burning in his heart this year . . . and it’s evangelism. There., something happier about him this year . . . and it’s the reflection of the love of ChrnJ Me ' l has enjoyed singing tenor in our Bible School choir and quartet — he’s found ll there are dividends in using your talents for Jesus. As leader of our Plato Happy Club, he has discovered that children’s work can be captivating. As well as winn wn children’s hearts, children have won his heart! His life has been given to the Lord a; n he is not afraid to sacrifice for Him. Because Shirley is such a girlish girl, she takes just delight in sewing her own clothes, styling other people’s hair, or just being in the kitchen. She’s capable and con¬ secrated and has given herself wholeheartedly to the work of Happy Hour. Each week our Eston Juniors sit eargerly on the edges of their benches as Shirley unfolds another exciting chapter of jungle adventure. Not given to extremes, she does insist, however, that the boy’s shirts be ironed to perfection. Blending her soprano voice with the rest of the choir and answering the letters of her many friends — these help to make Shirley the kind of individual that she is. Shirley Shaw, Stoughton, Sask. 18 Truth accomplishes no victories without enthusiasm.

Congenial and sociable, Wade can cheer most anyone with his warm and friendly He. Possibly he is one of the most widely-read individuals we know — everything from . Grey to Dr. Barnhouse. Never happier than when he’s on skates, Wade is lithe, wiry, d athletically inclined. Could it be that his yearn for travel and his spirit of wanderlust ll take him around the world? His activities this year have included vocalizing in the ble School choir and praying on the African prayer band. We know the Lord has His nd on Wade’s life. Wade Likness, Manning, Alta. Norma facobsori, Souris, Man. Norma knows where true happiness is found and it’s walking in the Lord’s appointed way. Unselfishly and wholeheartedly she has devoted many of her hours to the work of Eston Assembly’s Pioneer Girls Club. When it comes to Scripture, Norma is “in the know”; when it comes to prayer, Norma knows how, the yearbook having been her special burden this term. Tactful and a real psychologist, never be surprised to hear her say, “Want to write a letter to one of my relatives?” Besides ail this, Norma is a connoisseur of perfumes. Dorm 2 girls will miss her good advice. Daniel, a real “Boon” to F.G.B.I. as our Student Council President, and Happy Hour ub Director, has proved himself to be versatile and useful in many phases of the Lord s ,rk. He is noted for his originality — who else would have thought of forming the uthcrnaires Choral group? Prayer plays a vital role in Danny’s spiritual life as he is xnd faithful in his daily devotions. Often master of ceremonies, his quick-witted manner dpong-leading abilities have been appreciated on the platform. We know the Lord ' ll use him in His service. Daniel Moe, Vancouver, B.C. Allan Graham, Glasgow, Scotland Allan, our reserved Scottish classmate, is studious, and learned in the Scriptures. He is faithful and brave for the cause of Christ. It seems only logical that he be the leader of the European Prayer Band since his deepest burden is for that continent. Last October Allan was Scriptural in “a good thing” when he and Deanna were married. Christian Evidence is important to him as he has had opportunity to present these arguments in witnessing for Christ. Having musical birthrite, Allan is truly talented, playing piano, organ, accordion and just about anything else he chooses to try. Magnitudes of truth germinate in solitudes with God. 17

£ h In the three winters that Doug has spent at F.G.B.I., we ' ve yet to see him worried or apprehensive. Most friendly, he takes things in his stride. Doug is no shirker — if the link needs cleaning, he’ll be the first one to volunteer for the job. Characteristically he has devoted his time and talents to Glidden Happy Hour and playing his trumpet in the nsttumental quartet. His heart is open for whatever the Lord has for his future. Proud ossessor of the curliest thatch on campus, Doug’s current expression is, “Well, I guess!” Douglas Schwartz, Smift Current, Sask. Anna Wikman, Melfort, Sask. Anna, the only member of the sorority set who drives her own limousine, seems to have been called to “mother” us all. Her keen insight and reception enables her to enter int, both the joys and the sorrows of others. She takes pride in supervising the Sunday cooking, but if Anna had her way, we’d all be feasting continually on El Rancho hamburgers and foot-longs. Fiercely loyal to the Lord and his servants, we sometimes laugh when Anna says, “He’s my favourite preacher!” Devoted, diligent, desires to serve . . . and we know that her desires will be fulfilled. I Last October, a perky little Corvan made a journey from Spokane, Washington, to ’Eston, Saskatchewan. Occupants of this vehicle were members of Roemer, Incorporated — Carl, hi s wife, June, and their four children, Lorae, Cerey, Elsa and Arley. Warmhearted an genial, Carl has become a close personal friend to most of us. He has a deep insight into spiritual things and often sums up passages of Scripture in a few well-thought-out words. Our lofty and long-limbed barber is never in a hurry. Carl keeps foreign missions ■in mind and we know that the Lord of the harvest has a field for him to reap. Carl Roemer, Spokane, Wash., U.S.A. This Day is Thine This day is thine, a shining gift from Heaven, Cleaned for thy use from treasures of time. Given in trust to hold until the even. This day is thine, a sacred charge sublime. This day is thine, to be what thou shalt make it, Hidden in self or used in service fine; Then thou shalt bring it back to Him who gave it. What will it be, this golden day of thine? This day is thine, thy yesterdays are finished. Soon will the present join the changeless past; Will its bright hours be greater for thy keeping Or by the dreaded rust of waste o’ercast? This day is thine, there may be not tomorrows. This day is thine from dawn till setting sun; May thou at even, like a worthy steward, Hear in thy heart the Master ' s words, “Well Done”. — Verna Whinery Do it now! Today will he yesterday tomorrow. 19
