October 11,1984 Grace College & Seminary Winona Lake, IN 46590 Vol. 32, No. 4 . . Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before us." route Why Is Your Daddy In Seminary? David Jayne has established himself as an outstanding wood carver. —Photo by John Davis Wood Carver by Dr. John Davis Wood. Beavers chew on it, termites eat it and woodpeckers thump on it. There are very few materials in the world that enjoy greater use and provide more vehicles for artistic expression than wood. Egyptian craftsmen carved funerary images from it 4,000 years ago, the Romans produced war machinery with it 2,000 years ago and European cathedral builders employed it for elaborately decorated doors 500 years ago. One does not have to travel to Europe or the Middle East to see artistry in wood because as long as David Jayne is in the area, it will be available here. Jayne, 26, is in his first year of graduate study at Grace Theological Seminary and carves ducks, geese and other animals in his spare time. What is remarkable is that in only a year and a half he has achieved a skill level that would make veterans envious. "When I came home from teaching, I wanted to do something for recreation," Jayne explains. "I saw a wood carving course advertised in the paper so I decided to take it since I enjoy working with wood anyway." After his graduation from Tennessee Temple University in 1980, Jayne taught in a Christian school in Porsmouth, Va. "Some of my early attempts were not all that good, in fact, I even reworked them for friends. As I got more experienced I gained a greater feel for size, proportions and design." In addition to various ducks, he has carved a baby's shoe, an owl, pig and squirrel. Some of his ducks are painted and others are prepared with a burnt finish. Using a special electric blade, the burnt finish ducks are given detailed feathered designs — a very time consuming method, but with very attractive results. A full sized mallard can take up to 50 hours to complete according to Jayne depending on the postion of the duck and the amount of detail incorporated in the body design. While Jayne has used walnut, mahogany and tupelo woods, he perfers basswood which comes from the linden tree. "Many other woods are either too hard to work efficiently or there are too many large knot holes in them," he notes. Carved ducks are a big market item in Virginia and there are many world class carvers in that state. "I talked to many of these award winning craftsmen and learned a lot that I would not known otherwise. I was amazed that they were willing to share many of their secrets," he said. Asked about the most difficult part of the duck to carve without hesitation he responed, "the head is the biggest challenge. If it is not done properly, the whole duck looks poor." Jayne is the third of seven children and his father is a pastor in Irontown, Ohio. He and his wife, Susan, reside in a campus apartment on Kings Highway in Winona Lake. Some of his carvings are available for purchase at Dixieland Cottage Crafts on 205 West Winona Avenue in Warsaw. The prices for his work range from $50 to $250 which is remarkably low for his type of work. The kids have their own ideas about why daddy's going to school (last names omitted to protect the innocent!). LAURA, 6: He's going to seminary because he doesn't have anything else to do. CHRISTY, 9: He came to seminary to go to meetings. ANDREA, 3V2: My daddy always been in seminary! AMBER, 6: To learn to be a pastor. LAURA, 3: I don't know why daddy goes to seminary but he wants to be a pastor. CHRISTY, 3: He's going to seminary because that's what his school is called. MARTY, 5: My daddy's going to school to read a whole lot of books. When he gets them all done he won't have to read any more. But I know it's gonna take him 30 years! HEATHER, (3 or 4, she's not sure): My daddy goes to seminary because he used to paint houses and now he wants to do something different. AARON, 3: Sem'nary? What's Sem'nary? ANNIE, 5: Daddy goes to seminary because he has to! From the Seminary Women's Fellowship "Communique" Nominee's for the '84 Homecoming queen are l-r, Lisa Alley, Melanie Gehrke and Julie Schumacher. The queen will be named at Coronation, Friday evening. —Chronicle Photo by Dennis Buller Prof And Coup de Grace Professor Wayne Snider finished his lecturing to an attentive Grace College class about the consequences of revolutions in the nineteenth century, particularly the Trois Glorieuses, known by all students of French History. Suddenly it looked like the class was being taken over by a Parisian barricade squad. Twenty-one students marched in, followed by the "Quatre Glorieuses" from the Warsaw Morning Optimist Club, Presidents Mike Foreman, Steve Wilson, and Jerry Titus with Major Domo and Bob Richmond, a city councilman. Richmond proceeded to sing a charming musical poem echoed by a conscripted choir of 21 members, a beginning O God keep our hearts sound, our lives pure, our thinking straight, and our spirits humble, that we may be the true messengers of thy life to our fellow men; through Jesus Christ our Saviour. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praise unto thy name, O most High: to show forth the loving, kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. —Psalm 92: 1,2 French class that happily volunteered its services. Several photographers were present to record the scene for history. The embarrassed professor, festooned with helium baloons, for once was at a loss for words. President Wilson then explained to the class the text of Richmond's song. It was an elaborate way for thanking Professor Snider for again accepting the editorship of the prize winning Warsaw Optibullet, the service club's weekly newsletter. Wilson explained to the amused Grace students that the local service club was honoring Snider for his perfect attendance over 25 years, and especially for his fine work as editor and publisher of the nationally known publication, a pacesetter among service club newsletters. What Wilson didn't mention was that he too had been a student in Snider's history classes years ago. Perhaps that was where he learned how to stage his flawless coup. Concert On Lawn Friday is the date of the Wind Symphony and Stage Band Concert. It will be held at 5 p.m. on the lawn between Alpha Hall and Philathea Hall, or in the cafeteria in case of rain. The wind symphony under the direction of Dr. Dennis Herrick will perform a variety of music including selections from the broad- way show "Annie" and "Sound of Music." There will also be one selection by which everyone will be able to evaluate their study habits. Professor Norman Hanson will direct the stage band. The band will play music from Duke Ellington to more contemporary jazz composers. Guest artists for the concert will include: Dr. Wesley Hanson, trombonist, who is Prof. Hanson's father; Prof. Ruth Carmody, saxophone instructor and husband, Pat, tubist and trombonist; Brent Hummel, drummer; Rick Groves, guitar; Tim Hofherr, bass and Beckie Menzie, piano. Because the concert is at 5 p.m., dinner will be carried on to the lawn. We look forward to seeing you there.
