Those giggles gave her captors away! This kidnapping was not without a car ride to unfamiliar territory -the local Fred Meyer at Gateway. Fortunately, Lisa was still blind-folded, else she would have seen how many Mult- nomah students witnessed her tour of the store. From the stares people gave, one would think Lisa was a green or purple Martian-she most definitely was red! Rather than demanding ran- som, the abductors treated Lisa to a Baskin-Robbins double scoop. Feb. 24- After a romantic evening at the Lake Side Gar- dens, Dolzna Steplzelrzs and Mark Armstrong entered the A-Frame and were pounced upon by friends eager to announce the couple's engagement with a sur- prise party. Feb. 25-26-Retreat or trouble Trout Creek Bible Camp wasnlt very far but Karen Georgioff's section had trouble getting there. The kitchen had their food down for the follow- ing weekend. The keys got locked in the truck. The clouds poured down rain. Saturday, however, turned out great. Clear skies allowed them to hike to the falls. J Feb. 26-The Gorp clothes line Jacque Knuppe strung her roomiels underwear all over the house with for sale signs attached. Karen Morris retaliated by freezing Jacque's underwear. Jacque returned to the house, discovered the scheme, and traded her cold undies for Karen's. Both left the house con- fident that the other's clothes were in the freezer. Both return- ed to discover thier housemates had tied all their socks together and strung them around the house. Feb. 26-Junior Beach Day Thirteen brave souls travelled down to Ecola State Park to comb the rocky beach. The incoming tide prevented the group from staying out too long on the big rocks. Rain held off as the group continued on to Cannon Beach for an afternoon of tag, lunch, and tackle football. One car over heated on the way down but was soon fixed. A close call arose as the cars raced each other down the coastal range at 64-70 mph, a state police car was sighted. Fortunately the policeman was preoccupied and didnlt stop the group. Though bone-tired, the group had had a day of relaxa- tion, fun, and release from the pressures at school. Feb. 27-Happy 22W The Lollypop core group and special friends awaited her arrival, She didn't know she was suppose to be there! Falsely per- suaded to dress for the occasion, Christy G L Cfor godlyj Jones donned a little red jumper, braided her hair in pigtails, paint- ed on freckles, and added a pillow for a little extra stuffing. She was fmisjlead into the dining hall and escorted to her waiting friends. Steve MacLurg, in his best Farrell's style, led the assembled diners in Half a Happy Birthday. Christy's birthday wasnlt until June so Steve ended the song after the second line. Christy then took a trip around the table, almost losing her pillow onto the floor. by Judi L. Wong

Over 100 missionaries invaded MSB the week of Jan- uary 30 - February 4. Every- where we looked We saw mission- aries: Morning speakers, panels, seminars, evening speakers, and at mealtime. We had a perfect chance to see what missionaries are really like and to get to know some of them personally. We saw their heart, for God, their love for people, and their strong concern for the lost. As Joy Ridderhof put it, My heart aches for the lostf' While listening to her as she played her portable gospel phonograph, our hearts were also touched. In seminars we heard many firsthand experiences from missionaries from all over the world. At lunch we made friends with missionaries, finding out many things about them. One thing we discovered is that missionaries are actually real people. They're not angels, or supersaints. They don't even wear outdated suits or old fashioned dresses with their hair wi 1, . -I 1 Upper right: Still fired up after sharing in a morning chapel session, Edith Schaeffer speaks with former student Mark Greeno during the first day of the conference.
