REV. R. BRYANT MITCHELL, Dean The ministry of Rev. R. Bryant Mitchell, Dean of O.B.I, is as far reaching as the span of the most extensive imagination. His life is given to the preparation of Youth today for Christian service tomorrow. His colorful descriptions and homely illustrations enliven even the most difficult subjects, and his classes are perme' ated with interest and enthusiasm. How our very souls throb with mingled joy and amazement, as he digs deep and vividly unfolds before us the unsearchable riches of God's Holy Word. His self-sacrifice and deep interest in problems of practical living have endeared him to every heart and have inspired us to develop the same sterling character. 0551 Ceta REV. R. BRYANT lVl1TCH ELL Dean MRS. HELEN FLOWER, Regirtmr MRS. HELEN FLOWER Re girtmr As faithful as a clock and just as essential to everyone at O.B.I. is our registrar, Mrs. Helen Flower. Her kindly disposition and cheery greeting is as much a part of school life as the air we breathe. Unperturbed by the usual last minute rush of students around her, she capably performs her many duties. Habitually saying little yet doing much, she has won the love of all and has greatly blessed our school. Ever ready to offer an encour- aging word, she has proven to be an inspiration to us to press on toward the High Calling in Christ Jesus. Sister Flower is a friend to all, and a faithful example for the Christ she loves and serves. K

Many a boy and girl in Dark Africa has found Ma jenkins a source of unfailing inspiration, but her light of love shines no less here in the Homeland, where her efforts for the Master have been equally fruitful.
