Calvin Behind the Scenes: Dan Wesorick
Polishing the glass doors at the entrance to Johnny’s smack in the middle of the lunch rush might frazzle some people, but Dan Wesorick doesn’t mind it a bit. Dusting books in the library for his previous job, Wesorick always had to be quiet; here he’s free to let his friendly nature shine through, calling out warm greetings to students he knows as they walk by. Wesorick, the oldest of six siblings, grew up with his family in Wyoming, Mich. He attended classes at Seymour Christian and Grand Christian High through the Christian Learning Center (the Grand Rapids Christian Schools' program for developmentally disabled students).

Calvin student pedals bicycle from Miami to Grand Rapids
A bicycle and an interest in American politics provided Calvin political science major George TerHorst with a unique experience this summer. TerHorst, a senior and regional chairman of the Young Republicans, flew to Miami for the Republican National Convention and served there as an honorary sergeant-at-arms.

Yes, Calvin- so long the home of baseball, soccer, basketball- now has a hockey team. (Perhaps Calvin will allow their future swimming pool to freeze over for two months during the winter for the hockey team- provided, of course, this will not interfere with the compulsory swimming program.)

A voice crying out
A former editor once muttered that working on Chimes is “conditioned insanity.” We heartily concur with this analysis. Chimes means long hours of work. Above all, Chimes means responsibility. There is no room for laziness or I’ll-see-if-I-can-fit-it-in people. We are in desperate need of dedicated workers—news writers, proof readers, typists and two or three secretaries. Also, you guessed it—we need an ad manager. Our organizational meeting is Wednesday, September 11, at 7:30 pm, at the Chimes office, Knollcrest commons.
