A once-little boy named Tim who used to compete with the evening paper for Dr. Willard M. Aldrich's attention has now come to the Multnomah campus to do what his dad does - teach Bible and Bible doc- trine to Multnomah students. In between classes, students can see the duo strolling together, heads nodding, voices lowered in intimate conversation. In the classroom, Tim Aldrich is quick to share insight from father-son talks, salted with additions from his own experiences at Minnetonka Community and Bethel Congregational churches over the past 41!z years. A doctor of theology, a father of two tiny children, and a tennis enthusiast, Dr. Albert Baylis teaches theology. Though he posses a very dignified personality, he entertains his classes with his dry sense of humor. Of all his classes, Dr. Baylis most enjoys teaching the senior doctrine seminar class. It provides him more of a chance to interact with students in discussing problems and in- teresting areas of theology. One of his greatest desires is to see students learn to study the Bible properly on their own and come to their own conclusions as to what it says. People sometimes laugh as journalism professor Dick Bohrer tells a joke-before he gets his chance to tell it. Dick Bohrer's students are so conditioned to his witty sense of humor that often his mere presence triggers a chain of laughter. When you are as busy as Dick Bohrer, you need a good sense of humor. Besides teaching journalism, accelerated reading, and English Essentials, Bohrer edits material for Multnomah Press. In addition, he owns and manages a real estate firm. On top of everything else, Dick Bohrer makes time for his greatest pleasure-writing. He has just completed his first novel, geared to junior-age children, which he hopes to publish soon.

Jerry Prouty Jerry Prouty '4 A book on how to live the Christian life by Mickey O. Day would have to be called, Day by Day by Day. He'd be just the one to write it. For, as he teaches his students Bible study methods, Bibliology, theology proper, psychology, speech and communications, he impresses them that he really .cares about their day to day problems. A dramatic lecturer, he pounds the table, shouts, whispers, strides around the room, and even lets himself get all choked up. He challenges students to know your God. Dr. James DeYoung this year cut his Multnomah teaching load to four hours and has taken a teaching position at Western Conservative Baptist Theological Seminary. But his dry sense of humor and his little-boy grin continue to entertain students in the classes he does still teach. And his organization and knowledge, com- bined with his comparatively young age continue to amaze them. He,s probably one of the youngest Th.D.'s in the world, one student remarked with a smile. When people think of Frank Eaton, most of them consider him an outstanding musi- cian. And no wonder, because he is one of the best in his field. He not only knows music well himself, but he is able to com- municate it effectively to his students. But to those who know him well, his musical ability is not what stands out. Neither is it his dramatic manner of directing musical groups, though many students enjoy this immensely. Nor is it his perfectionismun everything he does. His tremendous desire to walk with the Lord is what makes Eaton's musical ability, his involvement with other people, and his teaching methods so effective.
