Baccalaureate Sunday was a beautiful day. The air was soft and warm; sporty little breezes frisked in and out among the trees, and long cool shadows, made by the far-off June clouds, lay over the campus. The trees were white, pink and palest yellow with blossoms which smelled sweet, as far as you could see them. Little late violets pied with purple the deep green of the oral. And lo, I dreamt that the campus, stretching out beyond the premises of the maples, was white with daisies. All the prim little flower beds which Vic-tor, the gardener, minds so carefully, had bloomed out with a brave array of lilies, pansies and asters. Birds called too in shy voices and butterflies drifted dreamily about. And lo, every one, who could, was out dcors, and on Baccalaureate Sunday, that means all of Bethel. It is the last Sunday this year for the under class men, there-fore they wish to make the most out of it. But for the Seniors it is their last day of Bethel; they cling to it lovingly, pathetically. For tomorrow will come flooding in the hordes of mothers, sisters, brothers and an occasional father, to take possession of the college and the col-legians. Bethel commencement was nigh, and of vital interest to the grad. And lo. I saw in the holiday air the many strangers, the alumnae of other far-back classes, the girls in an abundant condi-tion of holiday clothes and carefree man-ners, all making it a different place for those who know it best as it is every day for eight months in a year, noisy, rushing, busy, absorbed in itself, and heedless of the outer world. Behold, I saw eight seniors in their youth, brightly polished and adorned so that not even the scars of old wounds re-mained. The class was one united on the common ground of love, the .brightest, most independent, most original class that ever entered Bethel Academy. And I also dreamt I saw groups of threes and fours, who were starting out in all directions, some for a last walk up the shady road to the Agriculture Farm School, some to cut across the country to Rose Hill Nursery, or the queer slope somewhere over by the Fair Grounds, MAY 1914 No. 8 THE ACORN 5 others to lie on the grass back of the building, or in the shady nooks of the park: ' And lo, their arms were around one another's shoulders. They were talk-ing and laughing as carelessly as if Bethel had jtist begun for them. Each boy and girl realized,. with a faltering heart, that before them lay the class supper, the happiest, the saddest night of their school life ; and the unlightened gloom of the packing up days, but each had resolved to pretend just one day day longer that the joy of school wasn't all over forever. Dearest. of all to the class this last day were the reminiscences of its past. The class, repeated to one another the old jokes, laughed at the first freshmen year; the old passwords, and the dear old stories. We grew incoherent With laughter over recollection of the mornings in class we passed a joke upon the professors, and the nights we broke out in our senior yell, which made the building tremble. Behold. I dreamt I saw in the evening of commencement, the large audience One of the most blessed of all the pow-ers that God has bestowed upon us mor-tals, is the power cc laughter. Did you ever stop to think what this old world would be without it? Laughter means just as much to us as individual, as the sunshine to the plants and _ flowers. How-ever, I am afraid it . is a power that is neither cultivated ror appreciated. Did some piece of good fortune ever be-fall you? Something that you had been working, struggling, hoping against hope that it might come to pass? Did it come to pass at the time when you had given up all hope? Well, if it did, you didn't walk abOut with a long face and a sor-rowful look, did you? No, indeed- You couldn't, how much you might want to. You laughed, because you couldn't help it. which filled the auditorium, the procession of the seniors to the platform. I heard the organ recital, the speeches, the orations, and the musical numbers which made up the program of the evening. And now I dreamt of the class supper which was the last winding up of all. The decorations, and the flowers that filled the dining room were beginning to fade. The pink shaded candles on the long table flickered uncertainly. Every one had laughed and had cheered and had sung throughout the whole feast. The toasts were all over, the class had sung their last song as a final benediction. In an hour all had parted, and all was still and— I felt as one, who treads alone Some banquet hail deserted, Whose lights are fled, Whose garlands dead, And all but he departed, And so I, too, went out to face the world, wide awake. —Arthur Belstrom—'14. It was the feeling of well being, of satis-faction, that made you laugh. But this is not the cause of all laughter. A great deal of the time I don't think we know why we are laughing. Why do we laugh when we see a fleshy man take a tumble on an icy pavement and see him get up as soon as he can under the circumstances, very red in the face and very ill humored? There is certainly more of pathos than humor in the situation.- But we laugh!' Some very severe critic will say that laughter is lightheadedness, mere foolish-ness. It does make for light heads in the sense that it dispels the gloom that impels the critic to frown upon that which might make his face accidentally melt into a smile. Everything that God has created seems LAUGHTER. THE ACORN THE' ACORN 7 to have a place in the world, and among these innumerable goad things I am sure He meant the "laugh" to have a big place. If some of these people who are "anti-laughers," and whose greatest pleasure lies in dwelling upon the wickedness of the world, would take a dose of laughter morning, noon and night, they would find a great deal of the wickedness they sup-posed was in the world was in reality in themselves, and their heads would become "light" enough to turn upward and to see the true light of good illuminating the earth. But laughter, like everything else, can Perhaps there are no two words in the English language that are used more often than "I can't." Some way or other it seems so convenient at all times to just say, 'Oh, I can't." If there are certain things you du not like to do do, employ "I can't" to serve as your excuse. We find it used by children at a very early age. It gradually develops and becomes a habit. We all know the old quotation, "Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day and at last we cannot break it." This quotation can certainly be ap-plied to the "I can't people." In most cases it is simply a habit. If we only tried to eliminate these words, how much more pleasant life would be. If we ,only would get at our work and doi it, instead of spending so much of our precibus time saying " I can't," how much more would not be accomplished and how much higher would we not rise! First, let us refer back to history. Not any of our great men belonged to the "I can't class." Why just imagine the low state of civilization in which man would have been to-day if everybody had just calmly taken the back seat in life, folded their arms and said, "I can't." be misused, as I said in the case of the unfortunate gentleman. Someone has said that you put your stain)) upon yourselves when choosing the object of your merriment. The only true laugh is that of a healthy body and mind. It - is a medium thru which we can thank God for life. Have you and I then a right to go about with a long face, beating our breasts and sigh-ing over this world the Lord has given us? No! The Lord put us here to care. for our bodies and minds in such a way that our laughter shall be a daily thanks-giving and praise to Him. Sitona Finden—'14. The number of miracles and wonders which weie performed while Christ was on earth altho the people at first did not believe! We know how obedient the fishermen. were when Christ told them to throw out their nets again. Altho they had tried all night long and not succeeded. in catching a single fish, they did no, say "we can't," but, "we will try again. We know the result. Their boats were filled with fish. At the wedding in Cana, when there was no more wine left, no one present believed that Christ could turn the water into wine but he did. When the lame man was lowered through the ceiling by the four men, in order that Christ might lay hands on him, He told him to arise and walk. The lame man did not say, "Oh, I can't; why the idea! I have not been able to walk for many years." He just simply did as he was told, and he found that he could walk. Thus we could go on mentioning. one instance after the other. We need to have more confidence in ourselves and firmly believe when we set out to do anything that we are going to succeed. So many of our young people to-day seem to think it impossible to acquire an education because they have not sufficient means. We hear this statement so often, "It takes so much money and unless have quite a large sum saved before com-mencing, I might as well give -up." You may ask this person, "Why don't you work your way through'?" YoU receive the same old answer, "Oh! I could never •do that-" These poor human beings! They torget that it is creditable for them to work; their bodies and their minds are benefited by it, and those who can and will work will be advanced by it. Then within the school realm we find so many "can'ts." Students can't get their lessons because they are so difficult! All afternoon and evening is either wasted in some foolish manner or spent in talking about those hard lessons. Consequently they come to class the next day without them. If these people had buckled down to good, earnest work instead of talking about it, they would at least have been As I sat in the street car one morning gazing out thru the window, my attention was called to the many thousands of dandelions which grew so abundently on either side. I was very much impresses with them and began to wish that more People had some of the qualities which this flower possesses. This mean little flower hitt to my mind two lessons which we all need in order to become more suc-cessful in our work. The first one was the tenacity and courage that it displays. No matter how neople try to destroy or injury it, it still • seemes determined to try again. I pre-sume many of us have dug up dandelions in our yards and to our surprise the next day we found the little yellow heads stick-ing up from amongst the grass as if to say, "I am still holding fast, you've not discouraged me yet. If the stability that able to do something. Suppose our teachers should say, "I can't spend my time and patience trying to instruct these pupils because they are so stupid. They are too slow in grasping an idea." Poor students, if they did! I _doubt whether we would get tar. 3uppost, our ministers should say, "I can't preach to .these people; they are so indifferent!" Suppose our missionaries should say, "Vv can't leave our homes and go to the for-eign field because there are a thousand obstacles in the way!" Suppose all our writers should have said, -"I can't." We would have had none of our beautiful. lit-erature. '%Ve can do a number of things that seem impossible if we try, but if we stand shiv-ering on the brink and think of the cold and the danger, we will get no further than the shore. Let us not be afraid to leap into the cold water and we shall feel the invigoration of the plunge. —Esther Sundfelt—'14. this flower shows would be exercised more by all of us we would be' better off. A. great many people are easily discour-. aged. The first opposition that comes to them they are willing to be subdued by it: In order to become successful 'men and women, we must not be discouraged by every little hole and think it looks as tho it were a big mountain. It takes a great deal of strenuous work to exterminate the dandelion. As it were, it seems as tho our superfluous energy were in vain. We find them growing along the well beaten path, by the side of railroads, and in similar places. Places where almost every flower has given up to live. It teaches us that in spite of our disadvantages and environment we can accomplish something in this world if we will never give up. .At the same time that this flower teacn- "DOING WHAT WE CAN'T."

We hold it as a nuis-ance and a detriment to the community. We may consider it analogous to the im-morality and corruptness that is found all around us, such as the saloon, cigarettes, political graft, etc. The manner in which the dandelion spreads is similar to that of evil. Only a little wind can carry it miles. When once in the air it keeps right on and we would find it quite a hard task to keep it in check -after it once For every victory there is a defeat. There is no gain without a loss. For every conqueror there is a conquered one. For every gratified wish there must be some disappointment. Disappointments come to everybody, rich - and poor, in one form or another. What is a disappointment to one is not so to another. We are always ex-pecting them, and yet we are always hop-ing that they will never come. How often we sit down and think of how happy we would be on this little sphere, if there were no disappointments. If we could have everything that we wanted, how hap-py it would make us, at least that is what most of us think, but alas, that can never be. Oh, the suffering, the sorrow and heart-ache that disappointments give us. We grit our teeth, clench our fists and some of us moan and groan, because we think that we are getting more than our share. We all seem to think that they are an unnecessary evil which is put in our path to make us stumble and life as a whole miserable. Did you ever stop to think that most disappointments are blessings in disguise? The man who is a cheerful loser is a whole lot bigger than the man who is al-ways the winner. He has to fight a good deal harder to keep up courage than his opponent. He has the eyes of the world ripened and began floating about. So it is with evil, we must have it in our con-trol before it reaches the stage of maturity, otherwise we will find our cities, homes and friends ruined by this curse, just as we find the most beautiful yards spoiled by dandelions. And so we as a Christian people ought to work earnestly and dili-gently before we find ourselves in the slough of despond where there seems to be no way of escape. Ruth Larson—'14. upon him and no one is afraid to say "there zoes the man whom so-and-so beat." Oh! how those words must rankle in his heart! Didn't he fight just as hard as anyone else would have fought? But he does not let himself stop at such remarks; he squares his shoulders, lifts his head and cheerfully goes forward to do the work before him in spite of the torture that is eating out his heart. That is the kind of men we want. One who is able to bear a disappointment cheerfully is also able to bear victory when that comes, It is the storms and blasts that beat against the pine on the hillside that help to make it strong and straight. It is the bearing up against the elements that will make it an honor to all the trees of the forest. Should there always be sunshine and fair weather the tree would grow up and have little chance against the storms when they did conic. Disappointments are the blasts that try to uproot us, without them we could never grow up to be strong men and women. - They are the refiners thru which we must pass to make perfect character. We find that one who has been disappointed and has stood the disappointments bravely and cheerfully is a much stronger person as to character than the one who has not had any to contend with. Annie E. Johnson—'14. A WORD OF THANKS. With this issue the "Acorn" concludes its sixth year. During 1913-1914 great in-terest has been shown on the part of every member of the staff and the students as a whole, in the work and betterment of the paper. We can without hesitation call it a year of financial success. In. spite of the large sums of money our friends are subscribing toward the new school build-ing, they have also been loyal in helping our paper on. We wish then to express our thanks to all the businessmen of the • Twin Cities, who have advertised in The Acorn, and to all our friends, who have helped us in a direct or indirect way. We are also greatly indebted to our business and advertising managers, Victor Larson and Charles' Themanson, for their good work in connection with the paper. It is the wish of the present staff to extend to the next year's staff their best wishes for a successful year . VACATION, We are now nearing the close of the schoolday for 1913-1914, and are soon ready to leave our work at Bethel; many with the good hopes of again taking up the work next fall, others with that hope lack-ing. I am sure that we all feel that the year has passed very rapidly, which we probably did not expect at its beginning. The school has at this time a large num-ber of students to represent it. Let us please remember as we take our vaca-tion, to live so, that we will be good repres-entatives of the school, because, keep in. mind, the school is judged by the individu-als that attend it. Bethel Academy needs every student's cooperation. There are many young men and young women; who would be greatly benefited by their coming here, so students, one and all, let us re-member to BOOST our dear BETHEL, and to work in its interest by making it known to all whom you meet during vaca- The Acorn DISAPPOINTMENTS.

At the meeting held by the Alpha Beta Literary Society, May 15th, the following were chosen to serve on the Acorn staff for 1914-1915: Editor-in-Chief, Samuel Young; Associate Editor, Esther Larson; Business and Advertising Manager, Gust Larson; Circulation Manager, Paul Dahl-berg; Swedish Department, Gust Ham-mar ; Athletics, Paul Loff ; Alumni Notes, Rose Nordstrom; Society Notes, Dora Torn-blom ; Exchanges, Ellen Gustafson; Per-sonals, Ida Billman, Lillian Stonestrom, Robert Anderson. DAN STRANDBERG—Our noble class president aroused the attention of the en-tire community of Isanti, Minn., by his cries one bright September morn in the year 1894. He was a quiet, good-natured, precious child, and it did not take much time nor energy to amuse him and keep him happy. He entered the public school of Isanti at the age of six and here he completed his eighth grade work. In 1910 , he moved to Minneapolis and in the fall of that same year he was enrolled among other freshmen at Bethel Academy. Here he has been loyal and true to every task that has been placed before him. This past year he has been Editor of the Acorn, President of the Alpha Beta Literary Society and the Senior Class. He does not speak unless he has something to say. His motto "Don't think yourself great," is characteristic of him and speaks for itself. "That's all right," is his favorite saying and the Lily-of-the-Valley his flower. We are not certain as to his future but we hope that he will continue his course of study at some College. TO-MORROW. One of the greatest faults of the people of to-day, is the "putting off habit," of the "do it to-morrow" • motto. Did you ever stop to think what a good thing it would be for many of us individuals if a day would ever come into existence which goes by the false name of to-morrow? How much would not be accomplished on such a day. But how many times is it not that we lose out, or become disappointed, because we rely upon some day other than the present one. Let us try to con-quer that temptation more and more, and resolve to do the things which are to be done to-day. RUTH LARSON—Four hundred years after Columbus discovered America, 1892, our happy-go-lucky Class Secretary looked out upon the world for the first time. She seemed pleased and happy then and has been so ever since. We have often won-dered and questioned as to whether she was born laughing. She entered the Har-rison school at the age of five years, but after several years she was transferred to the Cleveland where she continued her course of study until the year 1906. Cir-cumstances did not permit her to go on, for this same year she changed her place of residence from St. Paul to Center, North Dakota, where she spent the three following years on a farm. This did not quite agree with her and she came back to St. Paul in 1909 and worked one year. During this year she met with many new and difficult experiences, and realized, as never before, the value of an education. Being a girl of strong determination, she went back to the Cleveland School and finished her eighth-grade work. The fol-lowing year she entered the Johnson High CLASS H ISTORY. I 2 THE ACORN THE ACORN 13 School, and in the year 1912 she came to Bethel Academy. Here she has been kept very busy. The very first year at I3ethei she was elected president of the Athenaean Society. She has also served as secretary of this Society, vice-president and sec-retary of the Alpha Beta Literary Society, and as a member of the Acorn Staff. But Miss Larson has also taken time for re-creation and exercise. She is an expert at playing tennis. We are not certain as to her future occupation. The question with her now is, "To teach or not to teach!" She has chosen the red rose as her favbrite flower and her motto is "Be what you seem to be." ANNIE JOHNSON—Our model, whose unchangeab:e words and actions may be compared to the peaceful and tranquil flow of a brook, arriNved at Pullman, Ill., the day after Christmas in the year 1890. When but a tottering babe of two years, she accompanied her parents to the famous state' of Minnesota. Without doubt her change of abode has had much to do with the moulding of her character. The first years were spent on a Fairview Farm five miles from Russell. But at the age of six, she desired to change about again and now Bigan Prairie Star was chosen as her permanent home. She received her early education in the little country school-house near her home. In 1907 she left school and the following two years were spent at home, wrestling with the problems of the farm. At the close of the second year she directed her steps toward Min-neapolis. After working one year, Anna, too, felt the need of an education, and hav-ing a number of friends at Bethel, she naturally made this institution her choice. But her love for the "dear old farm" has not decreased a particle. A• ll her vacations have been spent at home. The subjects in which she is most interested are Eng-lish and History. She has been very loyal and 'faithful to the school societies, espec-ially as Sergeant at-Arms of the Athenaean Society. She has been a member of the Acorn Staff for three years and the re-markable interest and enthusiasm winch she displayed when in charge of the Re-ligious Department of our school paper will never be forgotten. Miss Johnson's favorite flower is the blue violet and her motto is "That which counts costs." . AXEL BELSTROM—•Our orator and de-bater was born Dec. 4, 1894 in Minneapolis, Minn. Being the youngest member of the class we have been especially interested in his _welfare. He entered the Pierce School, Minneapolis in 1901 and continued until 1906. Then he decided he would like to spend several years in the country. He moved to New Brighton, a beautiful little town in the vicinity of Minneapolis. Life on the farm proved satisfactory but the little country school did not. He longed for Minneapolis, and the following year, 1909, he was back again at the Pierce School where he finished the grades. He stayed out of school for two years and rested. In the fall of 1911, however, he was ready for work and came to Bethel. He has been prominent in society work and has distinguished himself as a debater and Latin Student. His vacant periods and spare moments have usually been spent in the girl's reading-room, but not in idleness. His favorite flower is the White Rose and his motto is "Now or Never." We expect to meet Axel at Hamline University next fall. HANNAH GORANSON—The young lady who shines as the brighest star in the German class, was born in Eskilstuna, Sweden, sometime during the nineteenth cen'..ury, the exact year and month we-have not been able tO determine. Having heard so many wonderful rumors concern-ing the United States, she boarded a steam , er one day for our shores. In 1906 she came to Michigan where she remained one year. She then came to Minnesota, but in the fall of the same year she had ,disap-peared and we found her attending Union College, Nebraska, a boarding school in the vicinity of Lincoln, and not far from the home of Bryan, our Secretary of State. While at this school she made all her expenses by working. She says this was really the only year of her school-life that she has enjoyed because of perfect health. Here it was also strongly impressed upon her mind that "where there is a will there is a way." Next we find her at work in Chicago. A few months later she started the Nurse's training course, but after six months of training she was called home on account of death in the family. Her next occupation was private nursing, but. her health failed and she was taken to the Northwestern Hcspital in Brainerd. It was here that she became acquainted with one of the Bethel students. Up to this time she had not had in mind to finish the academic course but wished to finish the nurse's course. but as she was not strong enough she decided to complete the former. With this in mind she took up her work at the Normal Department of Minnesota College. But she was not able to work and keep up her studies here. Therefore in the fall of 1913 she decided to 'try Bethel Academy and found it favorable to her circumstances and she does not now regret that she started. She has taken up several subjects at night school this past year. Her motto "Stick to it," is well chosen. She has also chosen the Lily-of-the-valley as her favorite flower. She is now planning for a Normal Course. SITONA FINDEN—On the other side or the great Atlantic in a town called Sogn, Norway, our cheering little sunbeam was born one cold winter's day in the year 1893. Even if the sun did not shine with-out. it did within that home when she appeared. Her childhood days were ex-ceedingly happy, and when the day finally came that she must leave her birthplace, it was without a murmur of complaint. She was eight years old when she emi-grated to the United States in company with her parentS and brothers. They settled at. Oak Park, Minn., and that be-came their permanent hcme. Sitona was sent to the district school but she did not remain long enough to graduate because she was needed at home on the farm. After staying at home one year she came to Minneapolis and did housework for six months. She then returned home again, but it was only for a short time. She had now had a glimpse of city life and could not be content to spend all her days on the farm. She came back to Minneapolis and took up a course of stenography at the National Business College. During her course of seven months she worked for her room and board. In Feb. 1912, Sitona came to Bethel Academy with the inten-tion of simply taking up spelling, grammar and several other subjects Which would aid her in her business course. She had not been here long, however, before she had decided to complete the regular aca-demic course. We feel that without her the Senior Class would not have been complete. She has been deeply interested in all her subjects but she has taken a special deligt in English Literature and History. Her very presence in the Physics class has been an inspiration to the other students. She has served as Associate Editor of the Acorn and has taken active part in the Alpha Beta and the Athenaean Literary . Societies. Her favorite flower is the wild rose and her motto "Sunshine after clouds." We are not certain as to Miss Finden's future but we hope that she will have opportunity to continue her school work. ARTHUR BELSTROM—The young man who feels the dignity of being a senior so profoundly, was born April 28 1892, at Crystal Falls, Michigan. He moved to Minneapolis at the age of five, and the following year he entered the Pierce School. But when his parents again wished to seek a • better home, Arthur 14 THE ACORN THE ACORN 15 reluctantly,—for he thinks there is no place like Minneapolis,—had to accompany them. New Brighton was the name of the place chosen. Arthur, however, was con-tent to remain here long enough to finish his public school • course. In the fall of 1910 he entered Bethel Academy. During his school days he has resided in St. Anthony Park, but just recently on being informed that the best people live in Minneapolis, he packed his trunk, bade farewell to the Park, and moved to this wonderful city. When we want informa-tion concerning any present-day subject we go to him. He has been faithful in all his duties in connection with the societies and has been a member of the Acorn Staff two years. His favorite flower is the White Carnation and his motto is ' Here to Conquer." He is now looking forward to the time when he will be called Rev. A. Belstrom. ESTHER SUNDFELT—In the year of 1.892 this world was blessed with the ap-pearance of a little girl who called herself "Ettie." The rumor is that in her child-hood she was very mischievous and no doubt her mother had plenty to do watch- We are the class of '14, the Senior class of Bethel, Hearty and hale are we, and strong as ever you find them; Ready to cope with the world, and all of its various problems. Thru sunshiny days and thru shadows with stoutest of hearts have we labored, Over our well-thumbed books, gaining the knowledge they brot us. Long have we struggled, and hard, to gain the goal set before us. ing and caring for her. At the age of seven she entered the Cleveland school where she learned her three R's. She graduated from this school with high honors. During the following three years she was not permitted to attend any school because of ill health. However in the fall of 1911 she was able to enter Bethel Academy where she ha..i; proved herself to be a good student which is shown by the fact that she is valedictorian of the class. During her stay here she has taken active part in the different societies. She has served as president of the A. B. A., 'SEC-retary of this same society, vice-president of the Student Volunteer Banc; an mem-ber of the Acorn staff. Her motto "Where there is a will there is a way" is very appropriate. All who know, realize that she must have kept this in view in order to accomplish ,what she has. During her stay in Bethel we have learned to .love her for her tender and loving ways: As her favorite flower she has chosen the Lily-of-the-valley. Her future intention Is to enter the Teacher's Training School in the. city which will fit her as a teacher of St. Paul. E. S. S.—'14. Well were the days when the lessons were gleaned but thoroly beforehand; But woe unto us when we never before class had gazed on the text-book. Vanished those days are for aye and now while I sit reminiscing, And thinking of days of the past of our c'ass and the eight jolly Seniors; Who like them can stand out to uphold the honor of Bethel? Who like them can love her and cherish forever her glory! Only the Senior class of the year of our Lord that is passing. Dr,eaming. I see before me the beaming face of a laddie, Ax%1 Belstrom it is, the youngest of all our true-hearted. Ever ready was he with smiles that would comfort the freshmen; Fondly they cherish his menfry as on to their classes repairing, The voice of Axel reechoes thru Bethel Academy's class rooms. Tho worried with many big thots, not only worldly but weighty; Still she can laugh with the birds this bright blue-eyed maiden, Ruth Lar-son. Her fond aspirations are high and still they ever rise higher. Whether to teach in a school or science domestic she knows not. Only to join in the ranks of the stalwart Alumni to cheer them Thru all the problems of life that ever so closely beset them. ��� In deepest stentorian tones in the language of Northmen we hear it, The voice of a Daniel the Strandberg, who always can tell how to do it. Always contented is he and ne'er o'er his lot is he grumbling. Only to hear his "that's right," will help us to bear up our troubles. Such is the man who with gavel enforces the laws of our province. Tho Caesar has died, Hannah Gor'nson forgets not the spirit he left us, In him she has found a good friend and ever a noble companion. Troubles and sorrows are naught for with him there is comfort and solace. Fr0111 frozen fiords of the north comes a fair-haired, blue-eyed maiden. Tho faithful and true to her home she loves the States of America. Woe to the man that comes near her and refers to himself as superior, Never again to her face will he dare to repeat such a statement, For proud as a queen and as haughty with silence she conquers. Thus we find our Sitona, another blithe Senior lassie. Among the deepest of lores of the old Scandinavian poets Delves Arthur the stately Belstrom and dignified Senior laddie. Untiring ever is he and when he has found some bright jewel, Gladly he gives to the world a share in all his great knowledge. In the mysteries of science and learning, well-versed is our dear Esther Sund-felt. The meekest of all Vardictorians, her de-light is in tangents and circles. Where else could we find such a student, in all Academic surroundings. All have passed their several ways, Only one is left to go; So with haste I join the ranks, But shall not give my name. A. E.

So one day 1 went up to the Journal building and was shown into the office of the person afore-mentioned, when to my surprise I found this wise person none other than my chum and old-time room-mate Annie John-son. She gave me a great big bearhug, put up her sign, "No Visitors", locked the door and we settled down, for a nice long chat. She told me her work was very -gratifying - and that she was receiving let-ters of gratitude every day from innocent young creatures' who had escaped lifelong misery thru her timely advice. Altho my prediction. that she would eventually mar-ry a millionaire, has not come true, she told me that she is to be married in the fall to an old bachelor of fifty, who has a large dairyfarm in Eastern Minnesota. I had met all but one of the class and the time for my stay was nearing its close, but still I hoped chance would help me and I did not hope in vain. 1 had however given up most hope when I board-ed the Canadian Pacific for my home. was walking up the aisie carrying a heavy suit case in my hand looking for a seat. In the midst of happiness, joy and care-free life, we suddenly are confronted with that which all persons dread, a peried or darkness,one into which sight never seemes to penetrate. So are we, the mem-bers of class of 1914, feeling as we near the final goal of our happy sojourn in Bethel. Here is where we have spent the most happy moments of our life watching the progress of the different classes, especially that of the Freshmen, and be-cause of these happy memories are we orced to prepare a peaceable sojourn for our successors.

After a while we struck up a conversation and in the course of it he dropped a remark concerning the growth of St. Anthony Park. Then I asked him if he 'had ever heard of Bethel Academy. "Well, I should say I have", he answered. "I graduated from that institution some twenty years ago." "Not in the class of 191.4'?" I asked. "Yes, of course," he re-plied. Well, I was surprised! I never would have dreamt that I wouldn't know Axel Bellstrom when I saw him but I did not., no more than he knew me. I found that Axel had been practically inclined ever since his leaving Bethel and that he was now with the Twin City Sapolio Com-pany. There is some division of opinion as to who has received the most honor and praise, the poet or the Sapolio. How-ever I am' sure a great deal of credit can be given them both. I must stop now as my letter is too long already. Sincerely Yours, Sitona Finden—'14. and peaceable as possible, it has dawned upon us as a class to dispose of our be-longings in a just way so no dispute may arise as to the rightful owner. Our pos-sessions are divided into two clasSes, that held by individual class and that held by persons. To the Honorable Freshmen Class, a class known to be very cultured in the art of prying into our affairs, do we hereby as a class make it known that we absolve all claims to following articles which are now useless to us. For the considerations of having the pleasure of seeing their heads swell into a state of know every-thing and the painful operation of same: CLASS WILL OF 1914. oil N 111111w. 041 1,, _eN N • 411 111 pI • III • 1141:400 \\ 20 THE ACORN THE ACORN 21 First Latin II.

Next we have the most tender class in the school, a class that I warn the above to take mighty good care of, since it is the most precious class, a class that has so completely mastered the lower grades that soothing seems impossible. To them we have assigned the most precious books of our stay: English IV., Civics A, His-tory, Commercial Law. These constitute the final program of our possession.

After election of officers Miss Lindberg spoke on the subject "The Importance of Domestic Science." FRESHMAN A rather cool way of revenge was ex-perienced by a Freshie the other day. The defensive elements used by the Juniors was in the shape of ice cream cones. A number of the Freshmen boys and girls have left Bethel of late;. we surely miss them very much; and wishing them the best success, we hope to see their smiling faces here again next year. Just to let you know where you would find most of the freshies during non-school days and nice weather: Payne Ave., Phal-en Park,' Lake Harriet, Minnehaha Falls, tennis court, out in the green reading Silas Manner and also picking flowers for the Botany class. Victor Larson, our president and de-baton. Elmer Turnblom one of our nine, Always smiling on the baseball diamond. Gust Boherg with some more baseball practise, Wi.1 make his fellow class-mates take notice. F,am Smith in English he can't be beat, Stiil Esther Nelson is at his feet. Herman Anderson so tall, Never seen around the hall. Lydia Fransen has day dreams of which we have • no trace, The only answer we get is a smile from her innocent face. Lillian Stonestrom our Latin shark, Always singing like a lark. "Farewell, ye Freshie -days, with all your mirth and happiness. We leave you with great regret, knowing that nothing more of importance will again be heard of us until the gloomy senior days." As Freshies, we are exceedingly happy to bear this name at this time of the year, when the "Freshie" element in nature is so exquisitely being revealed everywhere; a fact which illuminates the countenance , of the beautiful dark-eyed lassie and the mischievous happy-go-lucky laddie, and makes the world at large truly joyous over its existence. SOPROMOR Nine sophomores are we All happy as can be Wait until exams are over Then we will be Juniors. JUNIOR There's an ancient college saying, and it runs somewhat like this, That a student's right is clover, when he reaches senior's bliss. The 1915 class has lately begun to realize the truth of the above statement. As the other students are looking forward to the vacation, so the Juniors walk around, as dignified as old country parsons, think-ing of the opening of the Fall-term 1914. The class has held monthly meetings throughout the school year, has chosen its pennant colors: "Green and White." Motto: Know thyself. Flower: "Lily of the Valley." Thankful to the Faculty and fellow students for the favor done us the Past year, We are the Class of '15. ACORN GUST LARSON. ESTER SUNDFELT. STAFF DANIEL STRANDBERG, SITONA FINDEN. :vim: OR SWORD.

Alth 0 the Bethel Alumni are scattered all over our country even into Canada and the Orient, the interest which each one has shown in the school the past year has never been better. Our association is now three years old, and a Rho during that time no seemingly) wonderful things have been accomplished, 3; et the mutual feelings, so well established during the school-year, have been greatly accelerated and the possibility of con-structive endeavors for the school in the future seems very promising. 01 course as yet we are few in numbers, and up to date most of the plans for the general activities have originated and been carried out by the local members. But nothing could be more desirable than sug-gestions from those members far away. Shall we be favored in such a way the coming year? The Alumni decided last fall to raise money for furnishing part of the new la-boratories to be occupied, as well as other essentials for the successful operation of scientific studies, and for this purpose we need at least $500 by Sept. 1. We earnest-ly hope that every alumnus will do his best in the raising of the above sum. Some have promised to contribute their share, others will solicit among their friends. Now this will be a very easy matter if every one wi:1 lend' a hand. Let us make the committee in charge happy by having the sum complete by Sept. 1. It is hoped that the entertainment given last April by the Alumni will be made an annual affair, for the first one was a suc-cess both Com a financial and literary standpc General satisfaction is expressed by the Alumni in the selection of the President of the United Schools and it is earnestly hoped that he will be with the institution for many years. One word more. Remember that the association needs the support of all its members in carrying out the work which it has pledged itself to do, and we trust that the corning year will be the most sEul in the history of the organiza-tion op to date. Fraternally yours, OSCAR FREED, Pres. • The Alumni Association of B. A. will again offer a scholarship to the most worthy student. We appreciate the inter-est of our Alumni in their Alma Mater. Henry Thunell '12 is at the present in Canada. He is still "on the job" as editor of a newspaper Carl Tideman '08, graduates from Har-vard University, Cambridge, Mass., - this month. Congratulations. Nathaniel Edwall '11, was ordained to the m'nistry at Providence, R. , I., last March. • Paul Anderson '11, graduates from the Dental Department of the Iowa University this spring. We expect to see Oscar. Peterson '13, at the University of Minnesota next fall. .Jonas Larson '11, preaches during the summer months in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He is' also assisting Dr. Riggs of Omaha and will finish the last year at Creighton Medical College next year. Joel Anderson '11, also a prospective Senior student at the above medical col-lege, is a contracting painter for the summer, and is doing work in the states of Iowa and Nebraska. Jonas A hl.quist '11, is spending the vaca-tion time at home in North St. Paul, Minn. And. J. Edstrom '11, is married and hap-pily settled in Omaha, Neb. He will pur-sue his medical studies next year. Looking back upon the past school year, 1913-14. we can say that it has been the most successful season in athletics. Last fall we had a very good foot ball season; all players were very enthusiastic over the games played. But when we entered upon our basket ball season, all the boys were out to try for the team. Manager and coach Arthur Belstrom had his men clashing together to get on the team. Our baseball season has been the best in the history of the school. Never before have the boys been so interested. At one of the meetings of the Athletic Associa-tion it was agreed that we should secure baseball suits. But the question came up how we should raise the money. It was later decided to ask the girls for aid in Peter Oquist '13, was present at our ohapel exercises the other day and made a speech. The only criticism we have to make is that his speech was entirely too short. Walfred Anderson '11, who has finished his first year of the Law Course at the U. of Minnesota, was made a prisoner by the St. Thomas cadets in the sham battle at Fort Snelling, while he was on scout duty. Reuben Allen '13, is planning a business career and has just completed a course at the Minneapolis Business College. Esther Haglund '09, is employed in the office of the Golden Rule, St. Paul. Oscar Freed, president of the B. A. A. A., visited us at chapel May 23, and gave us a very interesting talk. 4,ste" ....40v• raising this fund. So the wise girls put their heads together and resolved to have a basket social, and the money received should be for the suits. The boys being relieved of this burden, it was next in order to get the best men into the suits and show enough enthusiasm and "pep" in the games played so as to keep up the spirit and interest of the school. The manager Albin Edling at last had a long schedule of games. Our regular line up is as follows: 1st B., Bob Anderson ; 2nd B., Gust Larson; 3rd B., P. Arthur Belstrom ; C., Albin Ed-ling, Mgr.; P. & S. S., Chas. Hodne, Capt.; S. S. & P., Paul Loff, L. F., Dan Strand-berg; C. F. Milton Bjorquist ; R. F. El-mer Tornblom. thletics 30 THE ACORN THE ACORN 31 Rev. Hagstrom has paid us two visits during the past month, on April 23 and May 1 He has always a good message to bring every time he comes, and we surely appreciate the times when our presi-dent is able to be with us. Dr. Davis. Pres. of Macales ter College, spoke at Chapel April 25. Miss Westling, trying to write poetry: "I am taking it out of my head." Miss C. Nelson : "I'm not, I have n't any in mine." Miss E.

Jacob Peterson; pastor of the Elim Baptist Church of Minneapolis, has visited us twice since the last issue of the Acorn. We enjoy his talks very much. Rev. Tingley, pastor cf the Olivet Bap-tist Church of Minneapolis, spoke at our Chapel exercises on the subject: "Eating The Giant." Rev. E.

Mr.' Khonkhoje leaves this summer for India, where he will take up his future work. Mr. John Halverson paid us a visit May 13 and gave us a short lecture on his trip to Chicago. Mr. Halverson is one of the first workers for Bethel Academy. He has always been a loyal friend to the school. John Oh man, a lawyer from Minneapolis, spoke to us May 16, on "The Trial of a Law Suit". We appreCiate very much talks of this kind, which are very practical and we hope that Mr. Ohman will make it a point to visit Bethel more often next year. Prof. A. J. W., in Commercial Law : "Love is either a softening of the heart or the brain. Isn't that true, Axel? Anna L. in Swedish trying to illustrate a grammatical term: "Oh att jag kunde lara nagonting." E. T. (thotfully) : That's impossible. Prof. W. to Miss N. at board trying tol prove proposition in geometry. Prof. W.: "What is it that you can al-ways do?" Miss N.: "Sit down."

W.: Oh, is the kind of 0 one uses when one has a heartache, Mamma : —Louis, stop irsing such bad language. Louis : —Shakespeare says just what 1 said. Mamma: —Well, you must stop going with that wicked boy. Ex. THE ACORN 32 THE ACORN Prof. H. Stallard visited us April 22 and delivered a splendid speech at our chapel exercises. Do savages wear clothes? No, dearie. Then why did pa put a button in the missionary box? Ruth L.:—"Some girls kick so on ac-count of those five cents." Ellen G.:—"Oh, well maybe they need exercise." Dan Strandberg is getting so absent minded that he is always forgetting his books. What has Dan on his mind we wonder? Seen in Axel B's paper in a criticism on Dickens: "DickenS went too fast." "In German." Miss S.: When he was young, he often came to my house.—Miss Johnson (Life and Writings of Addison Eng. II.) Prof. B. C. W.—"It seems probable that he had already ventured to raise his eyes to a great lady." Esther Nelson:—"I don't understand what that means." Mr. Sword making an announcement: Now let us all come out to this meeting, last time there was only three there, the one who spoke the one who sang and the one who sat on the stove and listen-ed." Visitor: "What became of that other wind-mill that was here last. year?' Native: "There was only enough wind for one so we took it down." Prof. H. C. W. (Speaking of Arnold's theme). "Did Mr. Arnold do his duty?" A. B.: "He passed thru life very lonely." Mrs. Jenkins—"Mrs. Smith, we shall be neighbors now. I have bought a house next you, with water frontage." Mrs. Smith—"So glad! I hope you will drop in some time." Waiting vs. Doing. "All things come to one who waits," But here's a rule that's slicker: The man who goes for what he wants, Will get it that much quicker." Effective. "There is nothing like stacking up against the world to bring out all there is in a man," remarked the old traveler. "Yes, especially an. ocean voyage," sadly replied the passenger who was leaning over the rail. In the hall of a Philharmonic society the following notice was posted: "The seats in this hall are for the use of the ladies. Gentlemen are requested to make use of them only after the former are seated." Minister—"So you are going to school now, are you Bobby?" Bobby (aged six`—"Yes, sir." Minister—"Spell kitten for me." Bobby--"Oh, I'm further advanced than that. Try me on cat." Teacher in Botany:—"Give a description of the unicellular plants." Mr. Brolmoe (rather excited:—"Why just recited a little while ago. Willing to Oblige. At a reception the other evening I over-heard the following,: A young engaged couple were sitting by themselves when a friend came along and said: "You two seem very happy over here away from the rest of the crowd." "We are," replied the girl, "won't you join us?" ".Sorry I can't," said the friend, "I am not a minister." Dan Strandberg speaking of his Thesis. "If the teacher excuses me from reading my Thesis I'll hug him." J. A. E. "Those who want to see the final proof of the Freshmen pictures see me at once." A farmer boy and his best girl were seated in a buggy one evening in town, watching the people pass. Near by was a pop corn vender's stand. Presently the lady remarked: "My- that pop corn smells good!" "Thats right," said the gallant, "1'n drive up a little dloser so you can smell it better."

ANTHONY PARK, MINNESOTA eciticesticme11 Institution of the •iitze)cifItl Beaptierts of Fime,rictes.. PURPOSE. The purpose of Bethel Academy is to furnish our young people with the op-portunity of securing an education under the guidance and watch-care of Christian teachers. The school especially welcomes students who hear the call to service or who awaken to the possibility of greater usefulness when past the usual High School age. These may here feel at home among other young people of equally strong purpose and earnest endeavor. LOCATION. The Twin Cities is the gateway of the rapidly growing Northwest and is the center of a large and increasing Scandinavian population. Within a radius of one hundred and twenty-five miles are sixty-five Swedish Baptist Churches with an aggregate membership of six thousand- the greater majority of these being found within half of that radius. DEPARTMENTS AND COURSES. Bethel Academy offers instruction in the following departments: Academic, Normal, Preparatory, Special Preparatory, English-Swedish, and Music. CHARACTER OF THE WORK. it is our purpose that the work done in every department shall be only of the highest order. Each student is given assistance so that his progress may be as thorough and as rapid as possible. We have a large and efficient faculty and are e.i.oh year adding to our equipment. RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE. The atmosphere in Bethel Academy is thoroughly Christian. The daily chapel services, the student's weekly prayer meeting, the work of the Missionary Band, the Bible classes, all have an effective tendency in checking the literary worker from losing spirituality. ACCREDITED BY THE UNIVERSITY. Bethel Academy is accredited by the University of Minnesota, so that grad-uates from here are admitted to the University without examination. This relation of the school to the University is an evidence of the high stand-ard of work done in Bethel Academy. INFORMATION. In applying for catalog or further information, address the Principal: ALFRED J. WINGBLADE, Bethel Academy, St. Paul, Minn. |
