II II SEMINARY SILHOUETTES Seminary students are subject to the same feelings that distress students in any school. One feels that he is treading where angels fear to tread when he enters the door of 214 (or Greek at the first hour. A hasty last minute cramming is abruptly terminated by Mrs. Groom ' s Time for study ' s over. Take out a little piece of paper—just a tiny slip will do. JJ We nod in affirma¬ tion; All we know could be engraved on the head of a pin. The next class finds us again in 214 awaiting Miss Camp and the compre¬ hensive quiz in Christian Education. We are a bit worried because she never takes roll, but her ever repeated answer of I can tell who ' s here by just looking quiets our fears. Scriptural Interpretation in 106 always opens with a bang. This bang results from ' ’Uncle Bob ' s impressive entrance and a wrestling match with the pulpit accompanied always with, “My, this room is gloomy! Thursday we enter 216 for Homiletics anticipating a surprise. Miss Woods may enter and give us the glad news, “Special class tomorrow or Dr, Riley may fool us and request our sermon outlines on the date they are due— then alas! there is great weeping and wailing. The next class is a dead one to be sure. Archeology is always filled with surprises, and because we are so ignorant it is necessary for Mr. Allen to pound home his facts with the very helpful statement, “The point is this, Then he expounds to our further dismay some seven or eight points which we will surely find on the next examination, The Seminarians who are struggling with Hebrew are often greeted with the following, “If you had been awake you would have got it. Only eX p er i ence can prove the truth of that statement and only recitation can reveal the utter stupidity of the Hebrew class. Down the hall comes a grand old man with a great mane of snow white hair. Dr, Bergen, teacher of Christian Philosophy and Psychology, always greets us with, “Good morning, pupils. Shall we sing, ' I will sing of my Redeemer? Then picking up his roll cards he calmly states, “Well, lets shuffle the cards, and we all quake. Last, but far from least, are the stormy sessions in Systematic Theology where the great questions of doctrine are settled once and for all After some wandering in our discussion we are brought back to the .original subject by Dr. Moyer ' s “Where are we? and then stumped by his, Its because I ' m Dutch, when we can ' t make our explanations clear to him. The class generally closes or opens with “Who gets a mark today, anybody? So it goes, as with joy we enter each class and with a sense of sorrow depart, knowing that these are the greatest days of out lives. ( 25 )
