After the senior organization meeting was held on January 14, nobody was really surprised that his classmates had elected Bob presidenteexcept possibly Bob himself. At the senior recog- nition on February 15, he talked briefly with two other presidents, he morning speaker, Dr. C. Dorr Demarray, president of Seattle Pacific College, and Dr. P. W. Christian, Bob's own c o I I e g e Iresident. But college life is not all work and no play. Bob rarely isses a chance to go skiing at Spout Springs, and when his studies u-rmit, he likes to play basketball and badminton. With Larry agnussen he often plays handball at the Walla Walla Y. On Saturday nights, Bob usually dates. For the lyceum featuring Amparo lturbi with the National Artists Symphonette, he dated Georgene Thompson, freshman nursing student from Conard Hall. She was helping him celebrate that night. For Bob had something to be glad for besides the company of a pretty girl. On February 5 twenty-seven WWC students received letters of acceptance from the schools of dentistry and medicine at the College of Medical Evangelists. Bob was among them. Again, nobody was surprised, this time. And Bob? I've worked toward this for years, he said. 15

awwwmm One of the top men on the campus this year is Bob Bond, senior chemistry major from Spokane. In the doctor-preacher- doctor-preacher tradition of Bob's family, he should be a preacher. 'But, he says firmly, I've always wanted to' be a doctor. At home for two summers he has helped his father in his laboratory. With his major in chemistry and minors in religion and zoology, Bob has to study. Much of his workeeighteen to twenty hours a week-comes at noon, when he is host in the dining room. This leaves his afternoons free for laboratory work and study. In the evening he usually finds a carrel in the library where he will not be disturbed. He has a cumulative grade-point average of better than 3.5.
