MR. HENRY HIEBERT Music Department Decisions made to¬ ward the end of 1951 changed the course of life for Mr. Hiebert. At that time he decided to leave custom truck¬ ing and enter the Steinbach Bible Institute. Diligence was rewarded and he graduated from the Bible Department in 1954. Following a year of public school teaching he returned to take Grade XII. In the fall of 1957 he married Loraine Neufeld and they spent their first year of marriage teach¬ ing in a remote Indian Community. Subsequently, Mr. Hiebert has studied at Goshen College and the University of Minnesota. In 1959 he joined the staff of the S.B.I. , assuming responsibility of the newly created Music Department. That he is a lover of music is evident in that he was the first tenor of three different versions of the King ' s Krusaders Quartet. In this capacity he has devoted much time to travelling in deputation for the Institute. As a teacher of music he shows interest and enthusiasm for his work. This he expects from his students also. REVEREND BEN EIDSE Bible Department Mr. Eidse, our dean and Theology, Missions, and Psychology instructor, is well qualified for his posi¬ tion. To qualify for his dean-ship he has studied theoretical psychology at Goshen College where he graduated with a B. A. degree in 1959, and practised applied psychology on his four girls. In 1960 he graduated from Wheaton College with an M. A. in Bible. His experience as a missionary, first in Western Canada (1950-53), and then in the Congo (1950-53 and the summer of 1961) proves to be a great asset in the mis¬ sions department of our school.

REVEREND BEN HOEPPNER Bible Department Mr. Hoeppner, a native of southern Manitoba, is our authority on the German language. He studied at the M. B. B. C. in Winnipeg, but a bout with tuber¬ culosis delayed his graduation for one year until 1954. In the fall of that year he joined the S. B. I. staff. Two important milestones reached in 1955 were--his or¬ dination to the ministry of the E. M. M. C. and his marriage to the former Mary Loewen. The Hoeppners spend their summers in the U. S.A. where Mr. Hoeppner attends Goshen or Wheaton Colleges. Mr. Hoeppner, by his efficiency, accomplishes much. Be¬ sides regular teaching duties in the Bible and High School, he takes charge of the library, and also has several speaking engagements each week. He expects students to work as hard as he does, and sees to it that the credits in his courses are not mere gifts. Mr. Hoeppner ' s deep spiritual concern evokes respect from all who know him. MR. MENNO HAMM High School Department Mr. Hamm, a ' 50 graduate of the MacGregor High School, graduated from the Steinbach Bible Institute in ' 54. He has almost com¬ pleted fourth year of science and part of Education I at the University of Manitoba. In Christian service, Mr. Hamm has been on the faculty of the S. B. I. since 1953; is an active participant in Evangelistic and Deputation work. Vaca¬ tion Bible School, Good News Clubs, visitations and services.

B, I. for Bible training; to Goshen College for the baccalaureate degree; and, finally, to Winona Lake School of Theology for post-graduate work in the field of Christian Education.
