standards. She expected a lot, and eventually she got it. The one-time frustrated student found the efforts to be rewarding; for while Dr. Carruth shared her knowledge with her students, she consistently demanded the same from them. Thus, she not only taught us the material we covered in class, but she also taught us to really think. Besides being consistent in her intellectual expecta- tions. Dr. Carruth was also able to show us that Chris- tianity can be related to English. Her consistency as a Christian showed not only by being an active member of her church, but by integrating her Christian beliefs with her teaching. The morals and values we formed through discussion were guided by a Christian lady who based her faith upon God.

Dr. Carruth, you taught us well.

10 A Proud Assertion by Robert A. Cotner '58

Emerson said that flowers are always flt presents "because they are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world." So, in honoring you this day, Dr. Carruth, I've asked alumni to send flowers of thoughtfulness as testimonies to your work in our continuing Christian community these many years. And I have harvested from several gardens of verse appropriate lines which I would like to give you this day.

It was hard; however, not to become disillusioned by all the ex- traneous building over so many Photography by Deb Anglemyer 80 Bibhcal sites. Most of the churches Text by Barbara Stedman '81 and shrines were quite beautiful; but stUl we longed to find just a few places that had been left untouched '2::^^^^ during the past 2,000 years. Thankfully, we found a few such places. The temple platform—just an open plane of huge, white stone blocks— is nothing speaacular, yet I found it easier to picture Christ in that setting than an\"where else. Other places, too—a Jerusalem con- vent, the Garden Tomb—took on special meaning because of their simplicity and the warmth and sincerity' of the guides. Now, as for the guide, Richard Stoehr. who took us on all of our adventures—he's quite an experience in himself. I can still picture him jaunting along like Groucho Marx in his bent-o%er half-run. Sometimes his pace was a bit too fast for a few of us (as we continually had to "press on") but we certainly could never com- plain for lack of rest stops—each of which was heralded for the chance to buy yet another chocolate bar.

After nineteen years of seemg the dull gray breakers of Lake Erie, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that clean water really exists. The Mediterranean and Red Seas really are as blue as they look on postcards! The seas held a special fascination for me; the waves and rocks have some unexplicable power in drawing out the contemplative, prayerful side of the soul.

Our time at the Dead Sea helped us relive parts of our childhoods, while supposedly making us healthier, too. After covering our bodies with cold, black mud and then drying to a nice, crusty finish, we sat in the sea and felt our bodies floating like bars of Ivory Soap. The high salt content also caused a splash in the face to be a painful experience. One of the high points for nearly everyone was our stay at the town of Ramallah. This being tension-filled Arab territory, we were reminded that we must refer to the land as Palestine or the West Bank, but not History comes alive as students hear a lecture in the Roman Amphitheatre in as Israel. This advice we wisely heed- Cesarea. Left: The relentless sea nur- ed. tures sacred thoughts. Our first day in Ramallah began with our singing at three Christian schools. Our impromptu program of SIX songs and a short routine by the group comedian was nothing elaborate; yet much appreciation was shown in the warm, enthusiastic smiles of the children. Afterwards, a pastor from one of the schools took us to his house for an absolute feast of Arab food, and then he startled all of us with his opinions about the Arab-Israeli con- flict.
