W.. Vernon Schertz, Th.B. QM.A. Cand.j Instructor of English Rudy Wiebe, M.A. Assistant Professor of Eng- lish J. Daniel Hess, M.S. fPh.D. Cand.J Assistant Professor of Eng- lish GRLD GF IMAGI ATIO Incorporating the largest change in personnel in the college was the literature department of Division I. Teaching Expository Writing and Journalism, as well as advising the lllaplv Leaf and Rrcord staffs, Daniel Hess attempted to create an increased awareness among students of the importance and difficulty of good writ- ing. Many would-be writers sought his experienced and critical eye. Under his leadership, an essay contest on the subject of Christian Stewardship was initiated. Also new to the staff as an instructor in English and teacher of Basic Communication and General Literature was Wilbur Birky. Victor Vogt became a full-time instruc- tor in Basic Communication and offered a new course, American Novel. Second semester, Vernon Schertz absented himself from campus to continue his graduate study at Indiana University. In January, Rudy Wiebe emerged from his cubby-hole on the second floor of the library to reassume his teaching role after spending first semester writing his second novel in three years. A sudden stroke in October forced S. A Yoder, head of Division I. to relinquish all his teaching responsibili- ties for the remainder of the semester. Rescuing the department from its temporary loss were Miss Naomi Brenneman who taught his American Literature course, and Mr. Schertz and Mr. Birky who took over his two General Literature courses. Jane I-Iostetler clarifies the dif- ferences between an art movie and an arty movie as the Journalism class discusses the film industry. 5' ze-, ,v r'l'ff1 6 vt.
