ALL PEOPLE THAT ONEARTH DO DWELLWilliam KetheLouis Bourgeois

All people that on earth do dwell,sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.Serve him with joy, his praises tell,come now before him and rejoice!

Know that the Lord is God indeed;he formed us all without our aid.We are the flock he comes to feed,the sheep who by his hand were made.

O enter then his gates with joy,within his courts his praise proclaim.Let thankful songs your tongues employ,O bless and magnify his name.

Because the Lord our God is good,his mercy is forever sure.His faithfulness at all times stoodand shall from age to age endure.

THE CALVIN ALMA MATERDale GrotenhuisCelia Bruinooge

Calvin, Calvin, sing we all to thee,To dear Alma Mater we pledge fidelity.Forever faithful to maroon and gold,Thy name and honor we ever shall uphold.

Calvin, Calvin, God has been thy guide;Dear Alma Mater, thy strength He shall provide.Be loyal ever to the faith of old.God’s name and honor we ever shall uphold.

MESSAGE FROM THE FIFTY-YEAR REUNION CLASSAs today marks the end of your journey at Calvin

College and the commencement of new challenges,our Calvin class of 1954 extends our greetings, ourcongratulations, and our best wishes to each of youin the class of 2004.

What changes we have witnessed in the fivedecades since we stood in your places! Some of youare graduating with majors in fields not yet inventedin 1954. Threats of communism are now replacedby threats of terrorism. Your chances of a lifelongmarriage have diminished considerably compared withours. And the rate of change continues to accelerate.

We can scarcely imagine the world you will inhabitin the year 2054—if the Lord tarries that long. We arehappy to know that you will be engaging yourselves inthat world with the tools of your faith sharpened by thediscipline of your studies here at Calvin. We delight inknowing that your professors have worked with you inthe framework of that faith, tested by their involvementin the world of today.

It has been our privilege to take the gifts we weregiven, enriched and nourished by our professors and

friends at Calvin, to be salt and light in the smallcorners of the world to which we were called. A cynic,looking at our world today, may tell us our work hasbeen fruitless. We can only say that we have, throughgrace, sought to be faithful. And, in return, God hasbeen more than faithful to us. One of the signs of hisfaithfulness today is that he is raising up new witnessesto his truth and grace such as yourselves.

Our experiences have taught us that the world caninflict more pain than we could have imagined asyoung graduates. But we can also say that the amountof joy in our lives has been immeasurably greater thanwe could have guessed. We have seen that evil isindeed powerful and painful to endure. We have alsoseen that, in the end, love triumphs over hate, graceover guilt, and joy over despair. –“For though thewrong seem oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.”

After all, this is our Father’s world you will beengaging. We encourage and applaud you as youpossess your small corner of the world in His name.

Rich Westmaas, for the Class of 1954

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI

The Calvin Alumni Association is proud to present thesealumni with the Distinguished Alumni Award. Personshonored in such a way have been chosen by an independentselection committee composed of alumni, faculty, and staffand are endorsed by the Calvin Alumni Association Board.

Recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Award havemade significant contributions to their fields of endeavor,are recognized by their associates for outstanding achieve-ments, and manifest a Christian commitment that reflectshonor upon Calvin College.

James R. Gage, M.D. ’60Dios le pague are words that Dr. James Gage ’60 has

heard often during his frequent visits to Ecuador. Trans-lated “God will pay you,” the phrase is offered by gratefulEcuadorians to whom Gage has given medical attention.

“The people in Ecuador are very grateful, verywarm, very kind,” said Gage. They are also very needy,which is why Gage has made 13 trips to the SouthAmerican country in the past seven years.

“In Ecuador, there are many communities that arerural, poor, and largely Quechua that have no accessto orthopaedists,” he said. “I have a good friend there,a medical missionary named Eckehart Wolff. He keepsa list of the children I need to see; then when I godown [there], I try to do as many surgeries as I can.”

The visits have become more frequent for Gage since2000, when he resigned from his duties as medical directorat Gillette Children’s Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. Gagecontinues as medical director of the hospital’s cerebralpalsy clinic, where the country’s second fully automatedgait analysis laboratory opened in 1987.

An innovative technological advancement in thetreatment of children with cerebral palsy, the country’sfirst such gait lab was founded by Gage at NewingtonChildren’s Hospital in Connecticut in 1981. Prior to thattime, gait laboratories existed, but because they typicallyrequired eight hours or more of manual processing toenter data into a computer, they were too labor intensive

for routine use in a clinical setting. Gage envisioneda way of incorporating research already being done ongait analysis into an automated computerized clinicallaboratory. Although the resources for developing sucha laboratory were limited, Gage was determined.

Then director of the cerebral palsy service atNewington, Gage was unsatisfied with the resultsof surgery performed on patients with cerebral palsy.

“[Prior to gait analysis] I’m convinced we made as manychildren worse as we made better,” he said. “I would talkto parents, and they were unhappy with the outcomes. Wewould start out with children who walked badly, and aftersurgery, they would walk differently-not necessarily better.”

What was needed was a way to better analyze the way achild walks so that doctors could more accurately predict theoutcome of certain procedures. “The treatment of cerebralpalsy at that time was an art, not a science. Nothing existedto do testing,” said Gage, in a 1998 interview with Spark.

Though a chemistry major at Calvin, Gage also hada strong interest in math and had contemplated gettingan engineering degree. His analytical side knew therehad to be a solution.

First, he approached United Technologies Corpora-tion, a Hartford-based firm specializing in the design ofaircraft and defense systems. Here, engineers were ableto design a computerized system that would provideuseful information about the most important jointsand muscles used for walking.

The engineers were then able to devise a system togather data from individual patients. Reflectors attachedto the patient’s critical joints and muscles were video-taped as the patient walked. Data from the cameraswere then automatically downloaded into a computer,generating frame-by-frame stick figures that showedwhere the patient’s gait deviated from a normal gait.

With the technology now available, Gage neededthe necessary—and expensive—digital hardware. Aftercontacting a friend, he was put in touch with DigitalEquipment Corporation, which agreed to supply the

equipment at cost. Thus, the first automated gait analysislaboratory opened at Newington Children’s Hospital.

Now, almost 23 years later, there are more than 50 suchlabs in the United States and many more worldwide. Andnow, as a byproduct, the technology, commonly referred toas motion analysis, has become popular in the production ofanimated movies and computer and video games.

A recently published follow-up on 178 childrenwho had been analyzed in Gillette’s gait lab and laterwere operated on showed very positive outcomes.

“We were very happy with the results,” said Gage.“You can’t fix an engine if you don’t know how anengine works. We felt the same way about childrenwith cerebral palsy. You can’t improve results unlessyou assess the outcomes of their treatment.”

Gage has shared his success through the publication oftwo books: Gait Analysis in Cerebral Palsy (MacKeith Press,1991) and The Treatment of Gait Problems in Cerebral Palsy(MacKeith Press, 2004). He also has written many articles andhas helped train many others in the operation of gait labs.

Gage continues to be involved with the gait lab atGillette, the busiest in the country. “I cut down to half timeso that I could spend more time in Ecuador, though,” hesaid. “If I quit operating here altogether, I would not beable to keep my skills up to be effective in Ecuador.”

Both his work in Ecuador and the U.S. reflect his valuesbased on his faith, said longtime friend and colleague, Dr.Steven Koop, who is now the medical director at GilletteChildren’s Hospital. “Jim is my idea of a physician,” saidKoop. “He thinks of a particular problem in the context ofa whole person; he thinks of the future. He listens well, andhe recognizes that care is given by a group of people, ofwhich he is one. He is a truly remarkable man.”

Gage is accompanied on his frequent trips south byhis wife, Mary Tebrake Gage ’60. Mary is a formerteacher, who now tutors English as a Second Languageto students at a missionary school in Ecuador. “We godown there to get our batteries recharged,” she said.

Jim Gage agreed: “The pleasure in life is giving topeople. I feel like I still have a lot to give, and I stillhave a lot of energy with which to do it.”

Lois A. Ackerman Raap, J.D. ’68Just southwest of San Jose, 50 miles from the honking

taxi cabs and grandiose computer companies of California’sSilicon Valley, sits the town of Los Gatos. Wend your waythrough the neighborhoods and find streets with nameslike Cherry Blossom and Roseleaf. The ranch-style homeswith neatly groomed rose bushes and carefully cultivatedlawns go well with the peaceful, garden theme.

Cruise down Lavender Lane and find more of thesame-until you get four houses down the block andnotice a different house-a unique house-with browntrim. The front lawn is a hodgepodge of potted cacti,tropical flowers, and overgrown bushes. The porchincludes a ramp leading to the door.

Step inside the world of Lois Ackerman Raap ’68.Acacia, 15, lounges at the table chomping Doritos.

Nathaniel, 20, wanders around the kitchen waiting to aska question. Theo, 15, reclines with one shoe off in a leatherarmchair. Through the screen door onto the back patio,Lois hands out Popsicles to Vicente, 10, and Ruthie, herone-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter who follows heraround like a puppy. Alyssa, 9, sits on a beanbag chairnearby, her labored breathing echoing in the background.The phone is ringing inside. The dogs are fighting outside.Raap calls it a party.

It’s an understatement to say that Raap wears manyhats. She is a mother, grandmother, caretaker, counselor,teacher, cook, lawyer, guest lecturer, neighbor, sister, andwife—moving so fluidly from one role to the next that italmost goes unnoticed—until you realize just how manylives she has touched wearing all those hats.

“Not only has Lois provided a loving, Christianhome to numerous foster children, but she alsoemulated Christ for her adopted and biologicaldaughters,” writes Raap’s daughter, Rachel Bouman ’98.

Peter Raap ’68, Lois’s husband and teammate, saidthere is no use in counting the number of kids thathave lived under their roof. It’s beyond 40-with nine asthe highest in the house at once. He described his wifeas bright, hyper-organized, and “very high energy.”

“She outruns me,” he said.Born in Grand Rapids, Raap became familiar with

challenges at a young age. Her father moved the familyacross the country-from Michigan, to Iowa, to Minnesota,to Illinois, to Washington-pastoring Christian Reformedchurches. By her senior year of high school, Raap endedup in Bellflower, California, where she met Peter.

“Lois was looking for excitement, and I was lookingfor stability,” said Peter, chuckling.

They married, graduated from Calvin in 1968, andbecame teachers in California. Lois Raap soon realized herpassion was helping children with disabilities, so she pursueda degree in special education from San Jose State University.

“Regular kids lack challenge,” said Raap. She views aspecial needs child as a puzzle, and her mind immediatelystarts working out how she will move the pieces.

Before boredom set in, the Raaps were off on theirnext adventure. They spent nine years teaching andworking in Guam, where two biological daughters,Rachel and Sara, were born. During that time, theyadopted Lani from the Philippines.

Eventally, the Raaps headed back to California.They signed up in 1987 to be foster parents. Then Acaciacame into their lives. In addition to having fetal alcoholsyndrome, heroin addiction, and attention deficitdisorder, Acacia was diagnosed as being HIV positive.The Raaps decided this was God’s new challenge.

After Acacia, they took on eight more HIV-affectedchildren. When friends, neighbors, and church membersreacted with fear, keeping their distance from the Raapsbecause of ignorance about AIDS, they were devastated,but they persevered.

“If I’m doing what’s right, negative opinions don’taffect me,” Raap said. She clung to the story of Estherand believed God put her in a place of influence for“such a time as this” (Esther 4:14).

The “AIDS years” were followed by years of caringfor other “medically fragile” children with spina bifida,bone marrow transplants, epilepsy, or emotionalproblems. Sometimes, mothers would live with theRaaps to learn how to care for their children.

One child, Alyssa, had been violently shaken by herfather when she was only 12 days old. Her parents wereboth charged with child abuse and taken to jail. By the

time Alyssa was placed with the Raaps, she had beendiagnosed as deaf, blind, and brain-atrophied. Raapworked on two fronts: nursing Alyssa at home andfighting for the rights of Alyssa’s mother, StaciAltemeyer, in jail.

Raap convinced the court to allow her to bring Alyssato jail for visits. After a long investigation, Staci waseventually released, and her ex-husband was named theperpetrator.

This was just the beginning of Altemeyer’s journey.In weekly visits, Raap began to teach Altemeyer how tobe a responsible mother. She became a Christian and anew member of the Raap family.

“I would hate to imagine what my life would be likeif I had never met Lois,” wrote Altemeyer in nominatingRaap for the award. “She truly was a light in my verydark life. I am now in a good marriage with one morechild, and our home is full of a love that I felt for thefirst time when I went to the Raaps’ home.”

The Raaps mourned at Altemeyer’s side on April 30,2004, when Alyssa passed away. Lois said she waseternally grateful knowing Alyssa was made whole againin heaven. She joins several other children that havegone on from the Raaps’ home to be with the Lord.

Lois and Peter talk about how their own daughtershave benefited from the foster care experience. They’velearned a lot of “life lessons,” including how to deal withdeath and sickness.

Today, Rachel is an attorney in Sacramento. Sara ismother to Ruthie and a real estate agent in Oregon. Laniis mother to Peter and president of an adoption agencyin Washington. All three went to Calvin.

In 2001, Raap, always the learner, graduated fromlaw school. She smiles at the memory of taking the barexam alongside Rachel and being sworn in together inLos Gatos. Today, Raap practices family law so she canbetter represent the rights of foster children and parents.That is in addition to caring for her ever-growing family.

The phone rings. This time they’re asking the Raapsto take two more girls. The family of five grows to seven.

That will probably change tomorrow.

DEPARTMENTAL BANNERSThroughout history, colorful banners have been used to mark important religious and civic events and to

celebrate the vision and spirit of the participants in such events. The departmental banners displayed at thisoccasion arise from an awareness of this tradition and are meant to continue it. Besides symbolicallyrevealing the richness of the various disciplines at Calvin College, the banners graphically represent theirdistinctiveness. Although their colors are mostly in keeping with traditional associations—scarlet forreligion and theology, blue for education, orange for engineering—their forms combine the traditional, thecontemporary, and the abstract.

Art DepartmentAn abstract eye and hand symbolize artistic expression through the artist’s sense of sightand touch. Bright colors against black suggest creative boldness.

Biology DepartmentDominating the Biology banner is a symbol representing the structure of the DNAmolecule, deoxyribonucleic acid. The structure of this fundamental material of life, thechemical basis of heredity, was revealed in 1953 and actually photographed in 1969.

Chemistry and Biochemistry DepartmentThe main symbol used in this banner is the electron distribution for tetrahedral hybridorbitals, which represents the chemical activity of the elements and their compounds.Two segments of a crystal structure are included in the design, which are also the floor-plan shape of the science building. The shaft of pale yellow symbolizes the light ofinvestigation. Yellow is the traditional color associated with science.

Classical Languages DepartmentWhile the lyre and the wolf may be taken individually as symbols of Greece and Rome,together they portray the unity of the two civilizations and its cultural achievement, theunion of art and nature, and of poetry and myth. Horace has given this continuity andfusion of the two traditions of Greece and Rome its classical literary expression in hisodes, of which none better, perhaps, than the “Integer vitae” ode conveys the intentionof this banner.

Communication Arts and Sciences DepartmentSound waves emanating from a central core symbolize communication through speechand drama. The reversal of the outward movement suggests feedback in communication.Silver gray is the color traditionally assigned to speech and drama.

Computer Science DepartmentThe banner of the Computer Science Department features a Turing machine, thefoundational model of digital computation. The zeroes and ones on its tape reflect thebinary logic by which digital computation is implemented. The changing colors andorder of the numbers express the transition as data move from input through processingto output. The white shaft and its golden sheath symbolize the light and energy ofeducation and the sciences. The flowing wind symbolizes the transforming work of theHoly Spirit as it infuses the discipline of computing.

Chemistry & ClassicalBiochemistry Languages

Communication ComputerArts & Sciences Science

Art Biology

Economics and Business DepartmentShapes and lines express the charting and planning of economic budgets. Subtlyappearing among other symbols is a cross expressing the Christ-centered teaching ofeconomics at Calvin College. Copper is the color associated with economics.

Education DepartmentThe relationship of teacher and student in the educational process is represented by theforceful interaction of shapes in this design. The white shaft symbolizes the light oflearning in the Holy Spirit. Blue is traditionally linked with education.

Engineering DepartmentThe Engineering banner illustrates the key activity of engineers, namely, their involve-ment with the design process, an iterative, decision-making sequence. Steps in thesequence, represented by circles and rectangles, are connected by arrows to indicate themovement from the initial problem statement to final solution. Two-way arrows suggestthe possibility of sequence reversal. Orange traditionally designates engineering.

English DepartmentThe two main symbols, the lion and the eagle, represent England and the United Statesof America. The lozenge pattern in the background expresses the pageantry of Englandduring the development of the English language.

French DepartmentThe banner of the Department of French features the Coq Gaulois, long a nationalemblem of France, and the Arch of Triumph, a symbol of French patriotism. The cock,traditionally the Christian symbol for watchfulness, has been adopted as its symbol by anation which since its inception has been one of the important cradles of Christianthought and practice. The colors of the national flag are represented by the Coq Gaulois.

Geology, Geography, and Environmental Studies DepartmentEarthkeeping, the human community’s care for God’s earth, is symbolized in the bannerfor the Department of Geology, Geography, and Environmental Studies by representa-tions of atmosphere, mountains, cities, water, and the various levels of the earth’sinterior. The white shaft symbolizes the light and energy of learning stimulated by theHoly Spirit.

Germanic and Asian Languages and Literature DepartmentThe study of the Dutch and German languages is represented by symbols taken fromemblems of the countries associated with these languages. The traditional black eaglerepresents Germany, and the orange lion is from the seal of the Netherlands. The whiteshaft symbolizes the light of learning.

Health, Physical Education, Recreation, Dance, and Sport DepartmentEngaged in exercise, sports, and dance, a person in motion is suggested by the movementof rhythmical shapes and lines. Sage green is the color associated with physical fitness.

History DepartmentJagged horizontal bands, representing both the rise and fall of civilizations and the fourkingdoms as described in the Book of Daniel, move across vertical time lines, whichalso symbolize the dramatic influence of Christ on history.

LibraryThe library as a gatherer, receptacle, and distributor of information, ideas, and learningis represented by the abstract book shape, while the white, flowing shaft itself symbol-izes the light and energy of learning in the Holy Spirit of God. The flame is thetraditional symbol of learning and discovery through research.

Mathematics and Statistics DepartmentMathematicians have always saved time and effort by substituting symbols for words.The basic arithmetical steps of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing aredepicted on this banner by some of the earliest ways of writing them down.

The Renaissance calculator Tartaglia used the first letter of the Italian word for plus tosignify adding. Diophantus favored this minus sign in Greek times. Leibniz employedthis multiplication symbol in seventeenth-century Germany. J. E. Gallimard used thisreverse D for division in eighteenth-century France.

Music DepartmentThe design of the Music banner emphasizes the rhythms of musical sounds. Shapes andlines suggest strings, valves, keys, horn bell, drum, and other musical forms. Radiatingcircles suggest sound waves. The colors express the various moods of music.

Nursing DepartmentThe traditional emblem of nursing, Florence Nightingale’s lamp, is featured in thebanner for the Department of Nursing. The flame of the lamp symbolizes the light ofChristian compassion and education. The gold of the lamp is the traditional color forscience. The background apricot color is the academic regalia color for nursing, whilethe white shaft represents peace through the Holy Spirit.

Philosophy DepartmentLight refracted through a transparent prism symbolizes the many-faceted investigationsof fact and of principles of reality and of human nature and conduct.

Physics and Astronomy DepartmentThe construction of elements is symbolized in the Physics banner by the simplest atom,hydrogen, with its single proton and electron. Also included in the design are a tracingof the paths of particles from an atom and a segment of a crystal structure, which is alsothe floor-plan shape of the science building. The yellow shaft symbolizes the light ofinvestigation.

Religion Sociology &Social Work

Political Science DepartmentThe banner of the Department of Political Science features a representation of thefasces, a symbol of the authority of the state, and arrows that express the directionand flow of the analytical and holistic nature of the process of law. The fasces, abundle of rods bound about by an ax with projecting blade, was carried beforeancient Roman magistrates as a symbol of authority. The white shaft of seven rodsalso symbolizes peace and enlightenment through the Holy Spirit.

Psychology DepartmentThe Greek letter psi, the first letter of the Greek word psyche (the mind), tradition-ally signifies the discipline of psychology. The color red symbolizes emotion; blue,rationality; and white, peace through the Holy Spirit.

Religion DepartmentThree symbols of the Trinity—circle, cross, and dove—express the fullness of Godas He reveals Himself as Creator, Savior, and Counselor. These symbols areinterlocked to depict the oneness of God. The shaft of white is the light of learningin Christian education guided by the Holy Spirit. Scarlet is traditionally associatedwith theology.

Sociology and Social Work DepartmentThe central concept of sociology, represented by the inner circle, is a personinteracting with other people to form groups. Total human society, represented bythe broken circle, is composed of many small units forming a larger interrelatedstructure. All groups, from the family to society itself, exist within a framework ofsocial norms. This normative or cultural framework, represented by the unbrokenouter circle, promotes conformity, as suggested by the arrows directed from ittoward the inner circles of society and the smaller group.

Spanish DepartmentThe banner of the Spanish Department features the traditional symbols of thehistorical kingdoms of Castilla (castle), León (lion), and Aragón (red and yellowbars). These Christian kingdoms emerged during the eight-hundred-year-longreconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from domination by Muslim rulers. The separatekingdoms were joined through the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella, andeventually coalesced into the modern nation of Spain.
