Carl Thompson Carl Thompson va l pt. I., V4 iw Carl Thompson To the MSB student body, all of the band performances sound like winners, but only John George knows for sure. How can a per- son really tell how well the band per- formed? Check for Mr. George's smile-the seal of approval. Music isn't just a job to John George. It's part of his life. An admirer of baroque music, he owns and plays a baroque trumpet. It takes 1200 heat in the Sinai Desert to get Ed Goodrick to buckle. Short of that, he has life on the run. The slave-driver of the Greek Minor, he likes to motivate his students to think and ask questions. He is an original thinker himself and he drives himself. His creativity and percep- tion add depth to everything he does. Outside of class, Goodrick is applying his creativity in numerous ways. Right now he's in the process of constructing a new house. Goodrick also currently has three books in the hopper, and there are more to come. John Groenlund's Norwegian easy going manner creates a bond between him and his history students. As you sit in classes, you begin to catch his fervor for the past, whether it be Church history or ancient civilizations. What attracts people to him? Perhaps it's his soft voice and gentle manners. KThat's what convinced Mrs. Groenlund to marry himll His love of teaching and passing on his vast store of knowledge has led him to share with high schools around the Portland area. Groenlund's delight is research and books, but even moreg he delights in people. Assigned four classes of English composi- tion and a battery of near-verbal students who are not too sure they even want to study grammar and literature, Mrs. Kay Groenlund has what many of her peers call an Uunenviable position. Have you ever tried to teach 12 years of English in two semesters? It ain't easy. She makes the best of it with an omnipre- sent cup of coffee and a quick sense of humor. She has a abiding pride in the essays her students turn out and has contemplated editing a book of some of their best. 4'-1 99 o W' C3 co Q -s cm co C11 sn. S no 1 ca..

G o UI -5 2 1... FQ E o P' Fessenden 0 Denys Ill Gar John Tom Erickson's office looks like the local shrink's, and sometimes you may catch him pacing the floor in stocking feet deep in discussion with Mr. Day whose office is nearby. His favorite discussions center on dis- coveries from the Word. Together, he and Mr. Day make a diabolical duo. He enjoys basketball games, but even more. if you can catch him in the act, he loves to play with his little girl. You'll find them on the floor-she atop her daddy's shoulders at a basketball game, or asleep on his lap at a concert. He's a man that loves his family, and he loves people. Denys Fessenden is one of MSB's rookie faculty members. Though this is his first year of college teaching, as well as his first crack at serving as a dean, heis no beginner at counselling and teaching. Prior to coming to Multnomah, Fessenden served as a pastor for Gateway Baptist Church. He picked up his formal training at Western Evangelical Seminary. How do his students rate him? 'fHe's got a good sense of humor. I'm not afraid to raise my hand in his class 'cause I know he won't make me feel like a fool. He's a fair guy. I can understand him! John CSkipJ Garmo is happiest with a huge cup of coffee in one hand and a sheet of music writing paper in the other. Garmo, who is almost never seen without his double-size coffee mug, spends much of his spare time composing his own original music. Already a published composer, he wrote a chamber orchestra piece for a con- test this year and collaborated with Richard Bohrer on an original chorus for Missionary Conference. When he's not composing original music, he's rearranging other people's com- positions. As the director of the 1975-76 Chorale, Garmo arranged 10 of the 15 songs sung by the group.

Harrington Lani vey Har Roy 0 li cz. cz. cs TD li o I .E cs 3 Q Once an MSB basketball player himself, Lani Harrington is now coach of the J.V. team, assistant coach of the Varsity, and a full-time P.E. teacher. Students enjoy his clever jokes and exaggerated stories. 'tHeis wittyf' one student commented, And lots of fun to be aroundf' Harrington is what you might call a very 'treal person. He comes across in a genuine way, unshackled by fronts. He's a determined, strong-willed leader, and yet also a very sensitive, warm-hearted man. Harrington and his wife have three children, all blond-haired daughters, and are expecting another child soon. How does Roy Harvey keep students awake in an 8 a.m. homiletics lab? He has tricks up his sleeve. He talks about Chicago or the 3 a.m. paper route his son has. He has a flip-up collar. He asks his students to wave at him if it flips-up during class. And if jokes don't work, doodles do. And if doodles fail, there is always a pop quiz. And that ALWAYS works. Assistant pastor of a local church and stu- dent at Western Conservative Baptist Seminary, Roy Harvey teaches two sections of personal evangelism here at Multnomah. A Texan married to an Australian wife, Prof. Dwain Holsapple joined Multnomah's faculty this spring as a part-time instruc- tor. I like him, one of his students com- mented. He really knows his stuff and works hard to make it crystal clear. Pastor of Grace Bible Church in downtown Portland, he often enthusiastically shares with his students the great things God is do- ing through the church outreach program. He teaches Christian evidences to several classes during the day and bibliology to one of Multnomah's evening classes. Jerry Prouiy w - H.. L E sf 55, L E 5 W 1'
