,wing icnic Hey, what's cooking? yelled Lloyd Webb as he completed the mile and a half cross-country race from Springbank Park to XX'onderland along the banks of the Thames. M-m-m-m! smells good, blurted Dr. Cramer, making a dash for the finish line on Bruce Ramsay's shoulders. Luscious hamburgers sizzling on the open bar-b-que tantalized the hungry picnickers. Everyone sat around the old- fashioned teahouse and reminisced on the year's activities as they devoured bar- b-cues cooked by the men of class '62-'63. What a day it had been! All kinds of games and relays had provided a lot of laughs and craziness. Gooey dough- nuts on long fishing poles had been fed to boys lying on the ground. Then everyone had to blow up balloons and sit on them to see which one broke first. Shirley Funnell, looking for a few min- utes rest had been tossed into a big flower pot and soon had become the tar- get for basketball throws. In a short devotional message at the end of the day, Rev. Jonas Shepherd challenged each one to attain greater heights in, through and for the Lord jesus Christ. He1p! I'm not a target.

jltia ia our ik Secrecy, secrecy, all was secrecy. Posters announced the semi-formal Valentine banquet the girls' dormitory was sponsoring for the men's residence. Mystery surround- ed the news that someone's life story would be told in a presentation of This Is Your Life . Who could it be? the students wondered. Only three girls knew. The night of the big event, cupids, hearts and stream- ers transformed the dining hall. The girls in their lovely formals, accompanied by their escorts, lent the final touch to the candlelit room. Dinner music was provided by Mrs. Beckman who sang a solo and Carol Carey who played her violin. Mr. Carey gave his dialogue and piano rendering In the Us- ual Way. 'Later in the chapel the air was filled with suspense. This is Your Life was about to begin. To the strains of The Yellow Rose of Texas, the Mistress of Ceremonies, Maureen Harvey, described a certain young student who enrolled at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas, in 1947. This young man was an all-round student, a scholar, with a great sense of humour. We pfaise the Lord for leading him and his wife to L.B.I. And so . . . Dr. Harris . . . This is YOUR LIFE! While Marj Schindel played appropriate background music such as Rock-a-bye-baby and snap shots from the Harris family album were projected on a screen, Dr. Harris' life was unfolded. He recounted his amazing ex- periences during the war and in a concentration camp. Hidden behind a curtain off-stage were special friends and relatives of Dr. Harris - his brother Ross and his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Morrison of Guelph, friends from University of Western Ontario days. Corsag- es were given to the ladies and Paul and Elizabeth Harris received story books. Dr. Harris was presented with an amplified New Testament and a This is Your Life scrap- book of memories. A coloured film of Dr. Harris' gradua- tion from Dallas was a gift from Dr. and Mrs. Gannett. This truly was a night to remember. The example of Dr Harris' life was one to follow, because the life of Christ was seen in him. Sponsored by the T Christ was the center l l l A lovely way to end a day. Dr. Harris . . . This is YOUR LIFE girls' dormitory. Page 51

Lost an Found enior Rffeaf Found: Some sober QD seniors On a cold Friday morning, November 6, twenty-five senior students squeezed into their loaded cars and headed north to Chesley Lake, a summer resort near Southampton. In the scarcely heated cabins and dining room every- one shivered and walked around in overcoats. The activ- ities, however, compensated for the lack of heat. The seniors had brought their own food. The menu included such delicacies as turkey, juicy steaks, and home- made pie. The girls took turns cooking and proved they could keep house as well as labour over theological prob- lems. The fellows washed wishes. Dean Oakley spoke on the class's theme Learn of Me. Dr. Beckman continued this theme in discussion periods in which he applied the truths of learning of Christ to the life of each student. Ping pong, football, hiking through swampy woods, rowing boats on an ice cold lake in a biting wind, tending fires in the middle of the night - all were great sources of' fun, and exercise unused muscles. Games, preparation of the food and discussions around the Word of God drew the class closer together and closer to their Master. On Sunday the seniors returned home thanking the Lord for a weekend of physical relaxation and spiritual refreshment. Shirley: a V Lost: Their joy Doug.
