Freshmen, Sophomores, Jr. and Sr. found themselves placed in their own grade level. Daily devotions were established in each group headed by the daily monitor. The devotions were different from day to day depending on the monitor. Reading material did not go over well but tapes listened to from time to time were inter- esting. Students were asked to take turns giving devotions which was more of a challenge than some students were willing to accept. Students did pick up the enthusiasm of those moni- tors who conducted their devotions as a sharing of their excite- ment through Jesus. Some monitors were able to get closer to the students and learn from each other. The students who went to devotion time as a break from paces or with a negative atti- tude found that this time had not added to their lives. Those students who participated were enriched. Chapel service were another source of spiritual input. During the year staff members presented special ideas, sometimes films were viewed. Several missionary speakers visited us and one which all students remember was Les Samuel. He would not allow us to take his picture for safety purposes, he is a Bible smuggler. On Wednesday May 7th, we had a really exciting speaker. Ted Goss and another man peddeled a bicycle from Alaska all the way down to South America then from Florida to Canyon- ville, Oregon where he lives. He traveled a total of 23,000 miles and had intersting experiences along the way. The school really enjoyed watching his slides and listening to his testimony. Spiritual Emphasis I 61

February 25 thru February 29 was a special week for the Junior high and High School students. Rev. Sturtevant, a youth minister from the Church of the Nazarene in Emmett, Idaho, was our guest. He held individual gab sessions with small groups and dating was the topic of conversation with the High school. The Junior high kids dis- cussed The Last days. Each day the Chapel sessions were a time of spir- itual renewing through Pastor Bob's personal testamony. He reached kids by visiting in the Learning centers, eating junk food from the Monarch Mini Market and shooting baskets outdoors. We appreciated Pastor Bob spending this time with us and wish he could have stayed longer. He promised to remember each of us in prayer and we really believe he will. We can better understand how the kids felt about this week by printing some of their personal comments. Gina Yost - I really enjoyed Pastor Bob's personal testimony. Bill Tucker - In our group we talked about the End Times, It was neat to look forward to that time. Rachelle Blondell - It was neat to have someone that could relate to us. Mark Miguelena - I was impressed with the personal testi- monies and I liked playing basket- ball with Pastor Bob. Shirley Adams - I thought he rela- ted very well to the kids. His talk about conforming to the world s standards was very interesting Bob O'NeiI - I was really impressed with the time that Bob was able to spend with us and hope to have him next yea r. Debbie Smith - I have committed my life to Christ The conversations on guy gal relationships really helped Jill Wheeler - The first day I got a lot out of the part when Pastor Bob talked about everyone being importai and that I don't have to be something big to be important to God Heather Allen - I appreciated Bob because he got to the point' Charlie Brown - I am really fortunate to go to this school and this week I was able to get closer to God Marzee Inge - I liked Bob, he was forceful and it made me listen Susie Smith - He got down to where I live Tim Harden - lt drew me closer to God because I had tried to decieve people to get what I wanted It helped know there were other people that go through the same problems Bob was straight and he was also a fairly goc basketball player. Joe Suiter - Bob was a real down to earth speaker who emphasized that God has a plan for our lives and Gc wants us to be happy. I really got a special thought on how we should submit to authority no matter how mini the situation. Christianity does not remove the burdens but it does give us the love to apply to our lives so th Jesus can have control.
