Without photographers John Schulz, Mark Nelson & the AV staff, no pictures would be seen. It's lucky for me that I had them!

Just remember that when we get to heaven there won't be any need for Doctors and Lawyers as there will be no sickness or conflicts. There won't be any need for teachers, D.C.E.s, or Pastors as we'll be full of wisdom in a state of harmony. But as long as the people on the North side of heaven want to know about the people on the South side of heaven, there will always be the need for journalists! j.l.b. editor Page 5 Campus He To Thre

by Scott Snow Can you tell me? What do the Religion, History, and Mathematics departments have in common at CSP? Your time is Up! --One thing that they have in common is that each of these departments presently has a faculty member who lives on campus. These faculty members include Professors Stohlmann, Kolb, and Wenger who live on campus with their families. Prof. Steve Stohlmann, Prof. of Old Testament and Hebrew, has lived in the white faculty house which is closest to the Guest House for about 11/2 years. Dr. and Mrs. Jeanette Stohlmann have three children; Naomi-three years, Seth-two years, and Mary-four months old. The Stohlmanns presently plan to move off campus in June to a home Prof. and Mrs. Wenger enjoy an evening with their children, Erica and Jonathan. which they have purchased in Wheelock Parkway.
