At an early age Allan entered the Civil Service becoming Chief Accountant, Agr. Dept., Officier-in-Charge Antigua S a v i n g s Bank, and the first Income Tax Assessor to the Br. Virgin ls. Restlessly searching for G-od's promise of fulfillment, Allan graduated from New York School of Dentistry in 1953 with the lVledal for Outstanding and meritor- ious work. Then Allan studied Commerce, Economics, and Law in England. Later he lectured in England and Canada, and during the summer of 1971 Allan worked for the World Council of Churches. As a man whose breadth of experience matches his deep spiritual sincerity, Allan is interested in the educational, administrative and economic aspect of the world wide Church. Upon graduation Allan hopes to continue his present Divinity studies at Lon- don University. RAYMOND SAMSON Raymond was born in lsrael twenty-five years ago.

PHYLLIS LOCK Phyllis was born in Chessington, England. She left this beautiful spot to fulfill a child- hood longing by coming to Canada in 1967 and making her home in Ottawa. As in England, Phyllis worked as an Accounts clerk and Auditor prior to being Business Manager at a YWCA camp and entering AWTC in 1968. Feeling that her call was to the Priesthood, Phyllis entered Wy- cliffe in September 1969 while at the same time continuing to pursue her studies for the diploma at the Centre for Christian Studies. Her first year was confusing and chal- lenging but as she was gradually accepted not only as a female but as a fellow student, life at Wycliffe became beautiful. Because Phyllis was once told that she was a typical Wycliffe student she is on her way to becoming the first woman Bishop. Upon graduation Phyllis will sorrowfully leave here, to excitedly travel west and take up her position serving a parish in the Diocese of Athabasca. tx EDWARD BRUCE lVlcCALLUNl Bruce is among the toddlers of the graduating class, mainly because he's one of the youngest members, but more importantly because he's been a target for love throughout his years here. Bruce humbly boasts that, al- though he came to Mother Wycliffe directly from University, he has a gamut of worldly experience. He has been a short-order cook, Post Office worker, camp counsellor, and for the past four summers has done rural mission work. Indeed, Bruce is very wise considering he is but a youth. For example, realizing the administrative work required of a bishop, Bruce earned the degree of B.Comm. at St. Patrick's College, Carleton University, Ottawa. Best wishes Bruce on your way up the ladder to the episcopate! He is also the first student in Wycliffe history to be supported by the Diocese of Ottawa. After graduation he will serve in the Church of the Messiah, Toronto.

GLENN SIM Glenn was born and raised in Toronto. He joined the navy to become a man. While in the navy Glenn felt his first call to be a man for God and with God's help was en- rolled at Wycliffe in September 1965.

The next three years Glenn spent at York University where he obtained his B.A. in Psychology. With his B.A. under his arm Glenn re- turned to Wycliffe in 1969, was elected Social Committee Chairman in 7O!71 and managed to graduate lVlay 72 with the help of his wonderful wife Sheila whom he married in the summer of 71.

TAFEL Bill was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1942, and he graduated from the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh in 1964 with his B.A. in French. The highlight of his time there was the meeting of Tammy, whom he married in 1964. Bill taught school in various Pennsyl- vania towns during which time Billy and Heather were born. Bill began working with young people, and at this time the Lord be- came a reality to both him and his wife. Responding to the call of God and to the challenge of bringing the Gospel and the 'Stars and Stripes' to his recalcitrant brethren of the North, Bill came to Wycliffe College. The three years have been happy ones for the Tafels. He was Theological Committee Chair- man and recipient of several academic awards. Afamiliar sight at the college has been Bill and his guitar. Some of his pleasures at Wycliffe have been the Freshman table, 'bugging' his classmates, and Ecclesiology. He is looking forward to returning to the Diocese of Pitts- burgh and to a continuing summer ministry at Calvary Episcopal Camp. He extends an invitation to all to come to the 'Keystone State', where the action really is.
