This interview was conducted by TWU students Emily Dickason and Nadean Smith with Trinity Junior College alumnus Mr. David Moore, who describes his experience as a student during the school’s inaugural year, 1962. The interview was conducted in the Norma Marion Alloway Library on February 13, 2004 as part of a History 310 course. In this interview, Mr. David Moore is asked about his upbringing in North Vancouver, his experiences with the Evangelical Free Church in North Vancouver, how he found himself attending what was then Trinity Junior College (TJC), his time at TJC, and his life after his one year at TJC, both at the University of British Columbia and beyond. The interview begins with approximately five minutes of discussion of Mr. Moore’s life as a high school student, and how he felt pressed, because of his church affiliation, to attend TJC. Mr. Moore elaborates on his high school options which, at the time, involved an optional extra year, grade 13, which he opted to take, saving him one year in college.

Transcript of excerpt from approximately [43:00] Alumnus David Moore remembers the Day Typhoon Freda came to TJC.:
I was hoping that you would ask me whether there were any significant, interesting events that occurred while I was here. There was one, and that was Typhoon Freda, during that year, I think it was in October of the year. We had a typhoon that passed through Vancouver. A typhoon is a—really I guess it’s the term for hurricane but it comes off of the Pacific Ocean. And I recall that evening when Typhoon Freda was starting to move through our area. I had never ever experienced anything like that and I never have since. But we came out of our dorms, and we were standing outside here, listening to the roar in the sky, and you know when it gets windy, the wind really makes lots of noise blowing through the trees and everything; but this particular typhoon created a roar up in the sky that I had never heard before. And as we stood there with the wind blowing around us, trees started dropping on the campus, snapping off and falling down. So it was really quite an awesome experience. The following day when we got up early in the morning and went out, all down Glover Road heading towards Langley the power poles that parallel each side of the railroad track, they were all pushed over, not quite at forty-five degrees, but they were all leaning over - the wind had done a lot of damage. So that was one interesting thing that occurred during that year.

Oral History: Victor Janzen (Alumni) - February 18

Audio 227a consists of the following recording:
Title: Victor Janzen – “Oral History Interview”
In this February 18, 2004, interview, Trinity Western University students Travis Hill and Wesley Boonstra question Victor Janzen about his experiences as a student of Trinity Junior College in its founding year, 1962-63. Conducted in the Norma Alloway Library, this interview lasts for approximately thirty-one minutes. Janzen begins by discussing his life before coming to Trinity—including his family background and his high school years. He mentions several factors for deciding to come to Trinity: the recruiting efforts of the faculty, the quality of the staff, and also the fact that he was dating one of the enrolled students, Claudia Huesken. Since Janzen attended the University of British Columbia after his one year at Trinity, his comparative perspective is useful to assess some of Trinity’s efforts to achieve academic credibility in its fledgling years. He describes the cautionary attitude taken by UBC towards his transcripts but explains that the education he received at Trinity was more than adequate academically to prepare him for his following years at UBC. In terms of the student life and campus atmosphere, Janzen notes that in some ways, it was similar to a “Bible camp” atmosphere. He spends time describing the activities of a typical day as well as the usual recreational activities. He discusses the “barnasium”—the barn which was converted into a gym, as well as the choir. Towards the end of the interview, when asked about the course of his life since having left Trinity, and how his one year at Trinity might have influenced him, if at all, he indicates that though the teaching was good, he still finds the main significance of his time to be found in the “Bible-camp” atmosphere of the school. Through this discussion he raises some concerns about the sheltering effect which Trinity’s conservative environment might have had on some of the students’ views of the secular; in this context, he brings up the old motto of Trinity Junior College: “If Christ is Lord, nothing else is secular.” [Abstract and transcript provided by Travis Hill and Wesley Boonstra, Public History students, 2004]
