President's Message EVER in the history of mankind has a larger army marched from the halls of High Schools and Academies than the one of 1926. They march on from one stage in the process of preparation for life to another. The message of the years from the kindergarten to High School Senior has been given—the open question is—has it been received and applied? Another and equally grave question is : What shall the next chapter in this program contain? Shall it spell a continuation of the educational process in higher institutions of learning, or does it mean the taking up of the struggle for an existence ? Not a little depends upon the answer to this question. Each graduate needs wisdom to see and courage to decide this question. Bethel Academy's section in this great onward marching army is no small contingent. In fact, to those of us associated with Bethel, it is of the greatest importance. The vital thing for each member is to make a life rather than make a living. The latter is but a means to an end. Therefore the emphasis at Bethel is placed upon things spiritual rather than material, upon the abiding realities rather than those temporary and passing. As there are more elements that enter into the making of a life than into a living, so there are more real worthwhile results to be obtained therefrom. These ingredients are faith—a trust in the unseen—seeing the invisible; courage, a fearlessness to attempt to do the right or one's duty, whatever the cost or opposition. The development of personality with all of those God-given talents that it includes ; viz.: the mind, the faculty and power of thought, the heart—the emotional forces within—and the will—the ruling power on the throne of man's soul. The shaping, directing, and developing of these faculties make possible the attainment of the goal—the making a life. Particularly so, there is co-operation in this work of culture—co-operative between the Giver of these talents and the recipient thereof. This is the function of a school like Bethel, with all of its resources and activities, its personalities and powers. There has no class gone forth to the making of a life in a more important day than the one of 1926. No issue of the Bethannual has entered the open door of a more auspicious age than this. We are witnessing the dawn of a new era. There is little time to stand and wonder or reflect, for we are rushing into the future with meteor speed, and the aspect is swiftly changing. Opportunities never known before are today within our grasp. Of tomorrow none can prophesy. Society is molten and poised over the molds of the future. The material resources of the age, the unexampled riches of the Western World, offer ample provision for the human redemption if the church can once be brought to recognize her stewardship of life, leadership and money, and made willing to pour these treasures into the channels that make lives for the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ. There is nothing that can stem this tide and obstruct this onward march like inactivity and a refusal to enter in thru the open doors that invite to the land of larger opportunity. These portals are thrown wide apart for this emerging army of students. A larger army of Pastors, parents, teachers, and friends are eagerly and expectantly watching while they pray that there may be no retreat, but a forward, onward, upward march to these ever enlarging fields of usefulness and achievement. To this, Bethel with its entire faculty and the staff of Bethannual bids a hearty Godspeed. 1926 e G. G. ARVID HAGSTROM, D. D.

We are glad for days we've spent here, In fellowship and friendship sweet ; And if we seek paths of service We will never, never know defeat. May the days of preparation Be the stepping-stones to heights ; May our lives flow into channels, Where our God directs aright. May our motto be a torchlight, Which will guide us day by day ; "Not for our own selves but others," Will forever, ever point the way. Steep the path has been and rugged But the goal was e'er in sight ; And a beam of hope glowed around it, From afar we saw the light. It will lead us safely onward, Till at last the victory is won ; And the God who led us hither, Will forever, ever say, "Well done." —Anna Stjernstrom '26 1926 1926 Page 22 Page 23 41. THE BETHANNUAL (Extracts from the old issues of the "Everyday Bethel Blah.") October 24, 1923. President Hogfelt Barely Escapes Banishment EXTRAVAGANT FROSH THROW AWAY POTATO CHIPS This morning the President was seen coming to school carrying Mrs. Kent's (Freshman advisor) hat and coat, which were the instruments of his timely escape last evening. The Freshman class was overtaken by a band of Upper Classman robbers, while they were searching for a camping place along the cold, gloomy waters of the Mississippi. With blood-curdling shrieks they surrounded the trem-bling yearlings. Girls screamed, boys shouted, and, as all the lanterns had been put out, in an effort to get away. When the thieves overtook them all trace of wieners, buns, potato chips, and even coffee had disappeared, and at that very moment the little fishes in the river were enjoying a Frosh banquet. After mourning the loss of their evening's pleasure, the Greenies trudged slowly home. December 11, 1 9 23. Extra ! Extra ! Extra ! Extra! MIGHTY SENIORS CONQUERED BY WISE FOOLS An extraordinary event occurred this afternoon when the Sophomore Quint defeated the Seniors by a score of 11 to 10. The Seniors were sure of victory but their Underclassmen showed their ability in basketball as well as in a fighting spirit that could not be excelled. This defeat was too much for Senior dignity and power and there was not a Senior to be found at the close of the game. They have theirs coming tomorrow ! Wait and see ! May 26, 1925. (This report has been kindly written by the Special Correspondent of the Senior Class of '25.) "The banquet given us, last Saturday night by the Juniors was indeed an over-whelming success. The usually sedate chapel was charmingly decorated to represent a garden. There were trellises, pillars and swinging gates covered with life-like roses of different colors, and many beautiful palms lent a romantic tropical touch. In a little secluded nook behind a trellis, a fountain, surrounded by stone benches and fragrant foliage, bubbled musically during the evening. The program, con-sisting of speeches, and musical numbers, took place during the serving of the banquet, which was delicious in every respect. This happy evening is one never-to- be-forgotten, and is another one of the Bethel days which 'memory has painted with colors that shall never fade.' Dear Juniors, accept our heartfelt thanks and sincere appreciation of all the work and thought put upon this most memorable of Junior-Senior Banquets !" February 17, 1925. THE JUNIOR BACK-WARD PARTY For several days before this "Red Letter" night in school history, we had noticed the Juniors holding whispered consultations ; but they kept their secret to themselves until the other classmen were nearly bursting with curiosity. Last night the curiosity was satisfied ! About seven-thirty one Junior after another came sneaking into the Academy, masked, and dressed backwards. There were all descriptions and types of characters—gypsies, tramps, little girls, negro boys, and also there was one very masculine-looking figure dressed in the clothes of an up-to-date "flapper." 1926 Page 24 THE BETHANNUAL Two very exciting things happened during the evening : the Junior Advisor started walking down stairs backward and missed a few steps, and the "flapper" lost his red garter while playing games in the gym and fainted from embarrassment. After refreshments were served with the cake first and the hard tack last, the party broke up. If you want to know what happened, go and ask the remains of Gordon's Flivver ! ! ! Junior Program is a Great Success HE PROGRAM—long looked forward to—has come and gone. The Juniors certainly outdid themselves in arranging this extraordinary entertainment. The piano solo, songs rendered by the Junior Male Chorus, and readings were heartily enjoyed, but the climax of the evening was a dialogue depicting married life by "Paul" and "Virginia," alias Ed and Bessee. The outside talent consisted of two artists, a pianist and a violinist, who both rendered beautiful numbers. We congratulate the Juniors on their most successful program. Senior Year Calendar Taken from a Senior's diary. (We are forced to omit some of the most interesting facts.) September 15—Registration. I am now a dignified Senior. Could it be possible that I was ever as green as some of these little Freshmen I see running around? September 17—First day in English Four. My ! I never imagined that Halleck was so terrible. October 5—Senior Pow-wow. Went out to the Mississippi River. Had a better time this time than we had at our Freshman Pow-wow. October 28—Grade Cards. Got my first Senior Grade card today. Wonder what Dad will say. November 6—Annual Hike. Walked forever. Saw how Henry makes his lizzies. November 10-14—Interclass Basketball Tournament. Seniors won the Tournament. Hurrah !

Many sad and fond farewells. I am parting now with dear school-pals who I shall never see again in this world. God bless my classmates and dear old Bethel, our "Alma Mater." 1926 Page 25 * V $ ft a 4 ie F co pr. a) p. .. , :.) -cii-.)J , -C- '...:4 0 a3 z , a.) Cx.l). ; ? g t a g . . a) 4 Z 0 ,. .)

I was absorbed in a book written by an old schoolmate when she startled me with the greeting: "Hello, Ruth, how are you ?" "Well, when did you return to the city ? I thought you were in Japan." "I was till a week ago. Education is rather difficult there." "By the way, Hazel, do you remember Lloyd Hanson ? I have the most interesting book here written by him. It is entitled, 'The Mystic Twelve'. I simply cannot grasp his meaning in some places. He is so abominably vague." "Speaking of Bethel, I saw Myrtle Hanson on the street the other day. She is a Salvation Army Captain." "I saw Elvert Forsell's new 'bachelors' home' the other day. It seems that he has taken pity on all the unfortunate men and is playing 'The Good Samaritan' for them. I guess it is the largest bachelors' home in the world. All the inmates have to take an oath that they will have nothing to do with the ladies before they are allowed to get in there. "Hazel, do you know why the youth of Alaska are decreasing so rapidly ?" "No, tell me." "Why Charles Entner is at the head of the largest boys' reformatory there." "The Stjernstroms are all preachers. I don't see how Nels managed to be sober long enough to get such a job, but then, this is a queer world." "Where are their churches ?" "Oh, Lennea has one in Atlanta, Georgia. Anna has one in Mexico City, and Nels has one in St. Peter." "There comes Lillian Gustafson home from the bench. It must be very trying to be a judge. Hello, Lillian." "Hello ! My, but I'm tired. I didn't expect such a pile of work to stack up while I was gone." "Well, did you see anybody while you were gone?" "I saw several of the Seniors of '26. It is surprising to find such a change after fourteen years. Esther Sundberg, Doris Lindgren, Ruth Olson, and Doris Fried-land are teaching at Bethel. They looked so tired out and old. I guess the stu-dents are much worse than they were when we were there, if that is possible. It was really pathetic to watch them. One reason for this is that Lorien Carlson is the principal of the Academy." "Milton Froyd is the dean of the Seminary. Harold Ellsworth is a teacher in the Moody Bible Institute. But say, could you imagine Joel Frykman as the organist of the Central Baptist Church ? I wouldn't believe it till after I had heard him. He really makes a wonderful musician. Milton Froyd does the preach-ing there. I heard that Moody has grown fifty per cent since Mr. Ellsworth started to teach there." "Who are the officers of the Alumni Association now ?" "Fern Bosell is the president, Russell Moffat is the vice president, Laura Rundquist, the secretary. Beulah Wickstrand, who had just returned from a trip to Paris, where she has been studying music, favored us with a solo. Marcus Fritzell, the noted violinist, entertained us for about an hour. He simply enchants a person when he touches that old violin of his." 1926 Page 29 a • .4 IN • W THE BETHANNUAL I talked to George Magnuson while there. He is a civil engineer. He just happened to be passing thru town on the way to the West, where he has a big contract to finish up. I forgot to say that Clifford Hagstrom gave the speech of the occasion. He is the president of the Society of International Brotherhood. That speech was rare. I almost disgraced myself as I used to do in chapel by laughing. Both of you should have been there." "I am sure that we would have enjoyed it. What are the rest of them doing?" "Let's see, Fern Bosell is running a beauty parlor in St. Paul. She has so much trade that she has to work twenty-five hours out of every twenty-four. But you should see Laura Rundquist. She is showing the rest of them how to run an ideal home. She has the most wonderfully managed home that I have ever seen." "Did you know that Cedric Peterson is laid up in a hospital. He is a Chemistry professor at the University of Arkansas. He was demonstrating to one of his classes the explosive power of nitro-glycerine, and the stuff blew up on him." "That reminds me of the time that Paul is having with his Chemistry. He has been trying to get a patent on a certain chemical process. It is a new way of making cloth. It is about time he is making some money. His children would have starved to death if he had waited much longer. He has the case practically "cinched" now. At least that is what Edna Rask, his attorney, said. I never dreamed that Edna would make such a good lawyer, although she was always a wonderful talker. Clarence Helander is a judge in the State Supreme Court. He is the best that they have ever had in the state.' "Beulah was telling me about the wonderful hotel that Lorna and her husband are running in Paris. She stayed there two days as a guest. It is known all over the world as the best place in which to be entertained. Lorna always was fond of bright lights." "But girls, I wish that you could see the new hospital that Martin Erickson has had built. It is really wonderful. I certainly enjoyed going through it. I received an inspiring letter from Hildur Johnson the other day. She and Irene Daleen are running a children's hospital in Africa. If only they could have a hospital like Martin's but they enjoy the work just the same in spite of all the difficulties." "That reminds me of a letter that I received from Clarence Wallin who is in the Phillipines. He is doing some wonderful missionary work out in those Islands. Alverta Jenson is also out there." Bessie Le Master is running for the governorship in Arizona. She took that up as a profession, because running is one of the best ways to stay young and thin. Arthur Ellison furnishes her with space and inspiration with his "Speed of the Times." His paper is well known as being the most inspiring and intelligently written in the world of to-day." "Say, girls, why don't some of the rest of them try to make a sensible living like Jefford Loren. He has a ten-thousand acre farm in Montana. Alice Bodien is managing a cafeteria in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has been having a lot of hard luck. Three of her buildings burned down. But one of the funniest things has happened. Clyde Gustafson and Clarence Briggs are running a circus. Clarence does the running and Clyde furnishes the comedy. I must go and see them perform their acts." THE BETHANNUAL "Do you remember Mildred Berglund ? She almost scared me to death on the ship. She wanted to take my picture as she was collecting news for a New York newspaper of which she is a traveling reporter. She told me about watching a race in which Gordon Russel won with his old Collegiate Ford. It certainly must have been very entertaining. She said that Judith Dahlby is making a campaign against rouge and lipstick, and that she visited in the home of Verda Erickson. Verda is very seldom home as she is a saleswoman for some soap company." "Fred Swedberg has gone out to preach among the pygmies of Africa. They are now becoming qiuite civilized, I understand." "The funniest think happened while I was in Mexico City. As I was out for a little stroll, I heard some shrieks of laughter coming out of the little school houses. Being curious, I went to the door and peeped in. The door flew open and my heart turned a flop, for who was it, but Doris Storm, teaching a class of Mexican children, Public Speaking." "Well, girls, I think we have talked over all of our old classmates, so if you will come into the house, and see what you think of my last painting, I will get you a little lunch." 1926 1926 Page 3o Page 3r • • 0 le 4 4 THE BETHANNUAL The Senior Will Drawn up by Edna Rask, Alice Bodien, and Pau1 Erlanson.

Editor Gordon Lindeen _Publisher LATEST ELECTION RETURNS August Winkleman wins Mayoralty by overwhelming majority. All Bethelania is celebrating in honor of August Winkleman, the Mayor-elect of Juniorville. The people of the whole country side have thronged to the county seat, bringing bells, bass drums, clarinets and cornets with which to serenade "His Honor." Thus do his friends rejoice with him. It is with much regret, however, that we must report a misfortune which be-fell the new "chief." He mounted his Ford, a faithful and trusted old friend, that lie might, from its well known eminence, address the assembled multi-tude. It was so stirred by his el-oquence that it completely broke down. Mr. Winkleman is• indeed fortunate in the civic officials who were elected to work with him. We can at least sleep calmly, with-out fear of robbers; we can send our children to the corner grocery without worrying about possible accidents, for Frank Anderson is to be the Commis-sioner of Public Safety. He has worked out a new traffic signal which will make accidents impossible. It is said to be equally helpful to auto drivers and to aeronauts. Alvin Johnson, the newly elected sheriff, expects to lead an idle life un-der the new administration. He hopes to find time to complete his "Greek Grammar in Verse." Phoebe Strom, .police matron, also expects to find her duties very light. She expects to lead a "Keep the parks for the children" movement and has al-ready spoken to a number of Mother's Clubs on this important subject. F. A. Johnson, the newly appointed Commissioner of Parks and Play-grounds, has promised to improve all the parks now available and is plan-ning to open three new ones. One will be devoted entirely to tired automobiles. Adolph Carlson proved his suitabil-ity as Judge, by the decisions he has rendered on such weighty subjects as "How to arrange palms in decorating a platform." No more peaceable a man could be found than Ivar Breithling. It is there-fore most fitting that he has been chos-en Justice of Peace. Orville Johnson, our new street com-missioner will prove one of the best men we have ever had in this position. His knowledge of that exact science, Geometry, will prove of unending ser-vice to him. Mr. Johnson is now at work upon a project for eliminating ruts in a soft road. Louis Ellis, the Commissioner of Education has a big task ahead of him. He is inventing a device for making German easy. It is certain to give much satisfaction to both teachers and pupils. Helen Johnson was unanimously elected Register of Deeds. All people felt confident that she would be com-petent for she has long kept a record of the deeds of the Juniorville people. NEW SCHOOL IN THE CITY Miss Frances V. Anderson, Ph. D., has just opened a boarding school for girls on the Via Latina. All the an-cient and modern arts are being taught, by most competent teachers. Miss Anderson says that a limited number of day pupils will be accepted. Our fellow-citizens should avail themselves of this unusual opportunity. The fol-lowing list gives a hint of the ex-cellencies of the school: Elvira Wik, M. F., Dep't. of Expression Naomie Hultgren, Q. E., Oratory and Debate Esther Antonson, D.

Our fellow townsmen, Joseph Carl-son and Alfred Larson, are leaving to-morrow for a trip to South America. They are going to join the Roosevelts in hunting big game with a kodak. We just looked in at Allan Fredine's new studio. He has there illustrated some of his ideas on interior decorating. Allan has recently returned from a trip abroad—lie spent several months in France and Spain, and is prepared to redecorate your home in the latest man-ner. The "Little Brown Church," has been enjoying some most successful services. Rev. Eric Sjolund the new pastor is doing splendid work. We rec-commend that you go early enough to procure a seat. Stanley Forsman is the organist and choir leader. Gordon Lindeen is baritone soloist. POETRY CORNER Alice May, Alice May, Wilt thou be mine ?

June 1, 1926 Dear home Folks: You can not imagine how eager we are for school to close. It will surely be a great relief to lay our books aside for a brief three months; for we expect to come back to Bethel next September. You will miss us then, we know, but we shall miss you more. Records show that one third to one half of all High School students discontinue school in their Freshman Year. Hence, we are proud of the fact that we are the cream, as it were, of last year's freshman class. We all determine to graduate from Bethel. We can hardly wait for the day to come; though we fully realize that we can not reach our goal by merely wishing, for as the poet says: "Heaven is not reached in a single bound; We mount the ladder round by round." It is wonderful how ambitious we became all at once when we came to Bethel. Do you recall how difficult it was to wake us after a night of ten hours' sleep? Now we sleep less and study more. In spite of the fact that we are ambitious, we also take time for play. Nevertheless, we can not afford to take life too lightly; for how can we when we realize the sacrifices that you are making and the great expectations that you hold for us? For social enjoyment we need not go outside our own courts. Our teachers spice our work with humor. "I shall hold you responsible in the war to-morrow," said our Modern History Teacher when making the assignment for the next day. During the past year we have made great progress in mathematics. Now our problems are made easy by the use of formulas. For instances: D. F.+M. A.=High Marks (P W.) (M. S.) +J. L.=Athletics (I. E.) 2–(C. B.) 5 +T. B.=Music C. C.+L H.-F (W. J.)=Fashion 3(G. M.+C.

Myrtle Erickson, doing Welfare work in Stockholm, and I, having received invitations, decided to take the trip together. Arriving at our destination we hailed a taxi and were surprised to find the driver to be Daniel Hoglund. In the course of our conversation we learned of the whereabouts of several other classmates. Earl and Aldon Nyberg are as yet bachelors. Ragnar Walborg is President of Harvard. Marion Hallstrom, Margaret Storvick, Agnes Danielson, and Emily Staricka are employed in the new Montgomery Ward plant in Baltimore. E. F. Lindquist and Glenn Myers are employed in the Ferguson Garage at Fort Dodge, Iowa. In driving through town we noticed a building which proved to be a coke-plant owned by Seth Jacobson. We soon came upon a small dry goods store decorated with the following sign: Macaroni, Cats, Cheese, slightly used. Traps, Coffee 5c, with cup 10c. To our surprise Enoch Hogfelt and his wife Christine Carlson, were the proprietors of this place. From here we resumed our journey to the marriage feast. Upon arriving at the scene we were surprised to find so many of our former Bethel classmates, some single, others united in the Holy Bands of Matrimony. Among the latter are Mr. and Mrs. Carl Fredine (nee Ada Peterson) distinguished Chiropractors, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Arneson (nee Nellie Angstrom), of Tokio, Japan, and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Levin (nee Edna Ofsthun), of Alexandria, Egypt. A feeble old gentleman whom we immediately recognized as Rudolph Skanse, had just stopped in for a rest having been running for President for several years and still possesses hope among other possessions tied up in a red bandana handkerchief. All were enjoying themselves immensely until refreshments were served. While eating, the guests were interrupted by weird, agonizing screams preceeding from the kitchen, and soon discovered that Robert Marsh, chief cook, had just cut his finger. Edwin Brandt, the physicians' assistant, was given the privilege of applying first aid. After refresh-ments, Jennie Mullins suggested an interesting game, that of seeing who could make the funniest face. Pauline Hasselquist was pronounced winner by Donald Wyatt, the judge, whereupon she answered, "I-I-I wasn't playing." I don't know what the cook gave us to eat but Eleanore Sackett, Olga Holmstrom, Oscar Anderson, and Raymond Nease became rather indisposed thus they had to call the town doctor, who happened to be Ernest Wentz. After the wedding we spent the night with the three leading members of the Spinster's Club: Mary Petric, GladyS Oscarson, and Cora Peterson. The following morning we decided to call upon Mrs. Oren Dahl (nee Waive Norman), whom we found seated at her spinning wheel, surrounded by a group of erring children. Before leaving town we decided to buy the "Smaland News," having heard that it was edited by Howard Sandberg. Looking over the paper we came upon an article which read as follows: "Mr. Champ Lundin was disposed of at public auction at 1 P. M. last Sunday to Miss Ella Ostrom on my farm one mile east of Raymond Olson's home in the presence of seventy-five guests, including the following to-wit: 2 mules, 12 head of cows, 6 sheep. The ceremony was performed by Rabbi Levi Rasmussen, whose reputation in such deals has made him very popular upon such occasions. Miss Helen Hanson was Maid of Honor, and Erland Anderson, Best man. The home was tastefully decorated in roses, Margaret Robertson, Helen Bishop, Olga Anderson; and Mendelssohn's Wedding March was beautifully rendered by Ruth Johnson and 1 Jersey cow. A duet was played by Martha Peterson and Ebba Anderson. Faith Carlson and Martha Staricka, flower girls, were dressed in 7 tons of sweet clover hay. The groom has always stood well among Berkshire hogs, while the bride is an accomplished teacher of Harold Lofgren and Poland China Hogs. The bridal party left Monday for an extended trip and will be gone for free lunch at noon. Don't fail to attend sale upon their return when everything will go to the highest bidder. Marvin Samuelson, Auctioneer Theodore Tupa, Assistant Auc. Don't you think that was a terrible mistake of the printer to get an 'auction sale mixed up with the wedding notice? On returning to Stockholm we met Walfred Lundstrom who had arrived from America to take part in a boxing match with Sweden's champion, George Ralph. We also met Miss Nelson who was taking an extended trip through Europe. She was looking just as young and happy as usual. Sincerely, Missing Member 4 4.

It is adding to its fame year after year, under the direction of Prof. Hultgren. Early in the Spring they were asked to participate in a concert given by the Temple Baptist Church of Duluth. Their success was genuine, and Duluth is anxious to have them return. In addition to that tour, they assisted in the Spring Concert of Bethel. in piano. These twenty years have witnessed a steady growth in our Music Department, as the increase in enrollment clearly attests. It has been an important part of the curriculum and one which we could not afford to dispense with. In 1905 there was but one instructor in this department but the interest grew and it was necessary to add more members. This year we have an enrollment of 98 in the Music De-partment. The instruction is under the direction of Prof. Hultgren in voice, Prof. Oberg in piano, and Mrs. Marie Ackerlund Omark in violin. ANNA I. JOHNSON HATTIE TAFT ALvERTA JENSON Certificate in Piano Certificate in Piano Certificate in Piano The Bethel Choral Society has given three concerts during the year, and has also visited the First Swedish Baptist Churches of both St. Paul and Minneapolis on special occasions. In addition to its part in school activities, the chorus offers each student a splendid opportunity in voice training. 1926 1926 Page 48 • Page 49 • * LiO o * THE BETHANNUAL THE BETHANNUAL Twenty Years of Progress ACK of every great achievement there must be a vision; behind each momentous undertaking must be a dream. The year 1905 marks the be-ginning of a new era within the Swedish Baptist Denomination. In that year an event of momentous importance and significance to the educa-tional system within our denomination took place, namely, that the foundation stones of Bethel Academy were laid. For many years our Baptist pioneers had dreamed of such an institution, but it was not until in the Fall of 1903, at the General Conference, Stromsburg, Nebraska, that definite plans were laid for the establishing of an Academy. The late Dr. Sandell and our own Dr. Peterson delivered the addresses which stirred the people to action. A Committee, consisting of Dr. Frank Peterson, Rev. 0. Bodien, and Rev. 0. P. Peterson, was immediately appointed to make the earliest possible preparations for the realization of the plan. In the following year, at • a Convention held in Kansas City, Mo., the Committee reported, and upon their recommendation Dr. Frank Peterson, Rev. 0. P. Peterson, Dr. Robert 0. Earl, Dr. Arvid Gordh, Dr. John F. Nicholson, and Mr. John Halvarsen were com-missioned to organize a Board of Directors, consisting of thirty members and known as the Bethel Academy and College Association. As a result of their splendid work Bethel Academy opened its doors for the first time in the Autumn of 1905 in the Elim Baptist Church of Minneapolis. Those first years were difficult ones, for as yet the Educational Era had barely dawned. However, God's favor rested upon the institution and although there were but two students in the first graduating class, in 1907, it was necessary to seek larger quar-ters. The years spent in their new home, in a building which still stands as the Midway Insurance Company, on Como Avenue between Carter and Doswell Avenues, were years of stupendous growth and again the quarters were too small and plans were laid for the erection of a new and fully equipped building. A site was selected on Snelling and Como-Phalen Avenues and the work was begun. Within a short time Bethel Academy as it stands to-day was completed and ready for its new occupants. It will ever stand as a memorial to the persistent efforts of God-fearing, self-sacrificing Christians ! Now that there was room, the student body grew rapidly until to-day we have an enrollment of 277. During these years Dr. Arvid Gordh was principal of the Academy, continuing until the year of 1912. Since that time Prof. A. J. Wingblade has served in that capacity. The first year there were five faculty members, where-as there are now fourteen members. The steady growth of the school has been due to the prayers of its friends, and the future success of this institution as well de-pends wholly upon prayer. To-day we are thankful to God for those who had vision, for "Without a vision the people perish." Our hearts are filled with admiration for those who had the courage to blaze the trail and thus realize their own dreams. They stand out as men and women who have "attempted great things for God and expected great things from Him." We have the privilege of reaping the fruits of their sacrifice and labor, but it is coupled up with a serious responsibility be-cause we are the ones who will have to fight to maintain the principles upon which it is founded and to uphold the standards which have entitled our School to the name Bethel. JOEL FRYKMAN FLORENCE JOHNSON MARVIN SAMUELSON FRANCES ANDERSON DEBATING TEAM The Alpha Beta Literary Society HE Alpha Beta Literary Society has been one of Bethel's most valued agents in the process of moulding and shaping, not only the practical and educational, but the social and spiritual lives of her numerous children. It has long stood as a living promoter of the precious bonds of Christian fellowship. But more than that—in its far-reaching effects, it has yielded a service in the development of natural abilities which only time itself can reveal. Its vital, and even imperative, necessity in the educational curriculum is being recognized more and more every year. This organization has been the mover of the majority of all school activities. The programs conducted consist of musical numbers, readings, short talks, and de-bates. The year's work swells up into three great suspensive climaxes : the ora-torical contest, declamatory contest, and inter-class debate. This year, especially, a most unusual spirit of enthusiasm has been shown in these events. Though it was impossible for everyone to obtain supremacy, all will say that to try for it was well worth an effort.

Bethel students are permitted to enter in where they may acquire knowledge in Swedish Literature and also develop their abilities to speak the Swedish language. The influence of this association has permeated the entire student body. To succeed in the es-tablishment of the principles of character and ideal of our forefathers in human lives, is the most worthy of all efforts. Like "Old Faithful" in its action, this organization flares up several times each term in the most spectacular programs. Just to attend their declamatory con-test and debates would richly repay such sacrifice. The instructive talks concerning the various branches of economic and social life in Sweden, are spoken of with great praise. Our school might justly pride herself in the superiority of such so-cieties as this. THE BETHANNUAL 0. J. M. M. M. HE Olivia Johnson Memorial Missionary Movement was founded in 1920 by students and faculty of Bethel Academy in honor of Miss Olivia Johnson. She was a missionary to the Philippine Islands where she labored faithfully for one term. While home on furlough she contracted influenza and died. Her dying words were these: "Send three in my place." These words were not forgotten and so this movement was founded as a monument to her. It is the purpose of the movement to pray for missions, to preach missions, to give to missions, and encourage others to go out as missionaries. Missionary services are held during the school year. The movement then secures some missionary to speak at such services and so keeps people in touch with the foreign field. Funds are raised by free-will contributions and all who contribute a dollar per year become members of the movement. This money is used for the building of a library in the Philippine Islands and this will indeed be a living monument to her loyal service. This year several of the most valuable works of literature, besides those of a purely religious nature, have been purchased and it is the prayer of all connected with the movement that these books shall mean much for the cause of Christ in the Philippine Islands, and that through them many might be led to make the great choice in life and to find their Life by giving themselves as Olivia Johnson did.

The entire institution seems to rise up into an almost unbe-lievable wonder. But soon this sight grows dim; it flickers, then it fades away. But truth brings unto us a far more striking vision—a vision of a group of students, with bended knees, open hearts, and pleading lips, beseeching daily for Divine sanction of every achievement. PRAYER ! This prayer life is fostered by the Missionary Band. This organization reserves the right to every Bethel student to claim mem-bership. Its duties are of the greatest importance. It has helped to make more firm the foundation of every success. It is the lubricant of every movement. In active Christian work, this band, under the able leadership of Marvin Samuelson, has conducted meetings in several Old Folks' Homes, at the Union Gospel Mission, and at our various Twin City Young People's Societies. Through its efforts many a wearied soul has found a peaceful rest. Athenaean Society This society has not been in existence very long but its brief career is marked with success. In the beginning it was designed to be a literary society, but gradually it as-sumed a more social nature and it now comprises the social activities of the girls. However, during the year the most important event was a debate which proved conclusively that this organization is not limited to social activities. The pre-Christmas program was also given under the auspices of this society. The organization owes its success largely to the untiring efforts of Miss Delpha Jacob-son, adviser. The officers for the past year are as follows : - President - _ _ _ Vice President _ - Treasurer - _ _ _ _ - Secretary Standing, left to right: Fred Swedberg, Alvin Johnson, Eric Anderson, Roger Wickstrand, President Rudolph Dahlquist.

The Student Volunteers NUMBER of students at Bethel are preparing for service in the foreign fields. These students have united, forming a branch of "The Student Volunteers of America." Though small in organization, this group has has been mighty in its influence. Its very foundation and entire frame-work are built out of love, sacrifice, and bravery. The meetings and programs of this band are not very frequent but they are of the best. The deep Christian devotion, ever prevalent in their midst, makes their prayer meetings fairly glow with warmth and inspiration. Their exceptional abilities and unusual enthusiasm have made their programs an unbounded success. They have also sent cheer to the missionaries on the foreign fields in the form of cards, as well as a box at Christmas time to Mr. and Mrs. Tanquist of Assam. May His divine blessing continue to flow upon the Student Volunteers wherever He may lead them.

The Ministerial Students' Association HE Swedish Baptists of America have grown from a small, though sig-nificant group, into a denomination which has its roots over our entire land. It has survived all the droughts of the past. Today it is growing with a greater rapidity and is doing a more effective work than ever before. Perhaps the very life-blood of the organization of this body may be traced back to the Ministerial Students Association, at Bethel Academy. All of the Academy students who have entered in upon that path towards the ministry, automatically become members of this group. As co-workers, the Bible and Missionary Training Students have been enlisted as honorary members. Now that the year is drawing to a close, we look upon the past with lips of praise and hearts filled with gratitude. This body has been especially favored beyond all recompense. Prof. Olson's services to us, in our bi-weekly Homiletics Class shall prove to be of infinite value to us in our preparation for action in the great work. Through our meetings at the West Side Mission and the Union Gospel Mission, many a tormented heart has found a blissful rest. This year a work has been accomplished under the direction of the Ministerial Students, which was before, unattempted. All the boys in the neighborhood of the school were gathered into the Academy building one Monday evening. Two clubs were organized, separating the older from the smaller boys, and preparations were immediately begun for gymnasium and devotional exercises. The devotional period has been held above all else. About forty boys come together now, every Monday evening.

Public Speaking Class NE of the most valuable assets of Bethel is its Public Speaking Class. It is becoming an object of great interest and enthusiasm, as evidenced by the large enrollment. It is contributing its share to the student's education. The purpose of the class is to enable students to overcome defects of speech, and to develop self-confidence, poise, and bearing. Private lessons are also given by Miss Price, the instructor in this department, for those who wish to avail themselves of this opportunity. This department has also given two excellent programs, namely the Thanks-giving Program, given November 17, and the Easter Program, March 16, con-sisting of Bible readings suited to the occasion.

It is a twelve-page publication issued once a month by the students. Before it reached its present form it had passed through several stages. "The Acorn" was the first paper published by Bethel students. It contained both a Swedish and an English Department. The next step was a joint publication by the Seminary and Academy, namely "The Bethel Herald." It soon became apparent, however, that each school ought to have its own pub-lication. Consequently in the year 1921 "The Clarion" made its first appearance. Throughout these years the school papers have been the means whereby the friends of the students have been kept in touch with the school activities. Its columns are open to the best literary productions as well as to the accounts of important events. In addition to this it furnishes the students practical experience and valuable training in the compilation of a paper. 1926 1926 Page ho Page 6r ■11 4 * THE BETHANNUAL N a newspaper not long ago there was an article on "Why husbands leave home," and it was stated that said husbands were found in large numbers in cafes and restaurants. Perhaps it is in view of this fact that Bethel has started a Domestic Science Class. It cannot be said, however, that its main object is to prevent future husbands from leaving home and wife's cook-ing, as our class boasts two creatures of the opposite sex, but to all appearances it is doing a very effective work in teaching the art of cooking. About twelve-thirty every day appetizing odors float from the Domestic Sci-ence room, and curious students linger expectantly outside in hopes of a wee morsel from out of the tiny dishes. Our object is not only to cook things well but also to cook the right things. We are quite versed in the knowledge of Dietetics and Nutrition. We know what to eat to get thin, what to eat to get fat, and what to eat to stay as we are. We know what to eat to keep from getting sick, and what to eat when we are sick. Our knowledge of the vitamins, those essential life giving elements in foods, enable us to choose foods which will give us the energy that we need. And we have found, too, that it is necessary that we eat the correct amounts of food, so we have learned to compute the number of calories of food necessary for the best efficiency on our part. Besides studying the essential elements of foods, we have studied canning, menu planning, table manners and service. We eat to live ; therefore our knowledge of foods is a means by which our lives will be made more fit for the highest service to mankind. 1926 THE BETHANNUAL OFFICERS OF 1926 RICHARD HOILAND REUBEN TANQUIST GORDON CARLSON Vice-President President Treasurer ELEANORE BONDE GOLDIE PUTNAM ELLEN HEDLUND EDITH LARSON Corresponding Secretary Assistant Recording Recording Secretary Reporter Secretary Bethel Academy Alumni Association HE Alumni Association, which was organized in June 1911, now numbers over three hundred and fifty Bethel graduates. The purpose of the organization is to "secure and maintain and to establish mutual reciprocity between the gradu-ates; to encourage and foster a continued and increasing interest for the school among the Alumni; to create such further interest as we are able, and to pledge our support to the future upbuilding and sustenance of Bethel Academy." The Alumni of the Twin Cities have been very active this year. The first meeting was held on February 15 when the new officers were elected and a social time enjoyed. The Alumni Day at Bethel on March 13 was well attended. Edwin Omark ('21) spoke to the students at the chapel service in the morning; in the afternoon, the "Ladies' Aid" with Eleanore Bonde as chairman, very ably presented the Diamond Jubilee Fund Drive in which we all had the opportunity of taking a definite part afterwards in the dining room. The climax of the day was the Basket ball games—the girls' scoring 3 to 0 in favor of the Alumni, and the boys' 14 to 11 in favor of the Academy. The Alumni Banquet was held in the Nicollet Hotel on Friday evening, May 28, with Prof. Mann from the Hamline University as principal speaker. After fifteen years since the organization began its work, it is interesting to note the various professions and callings into which our Alumni have been called. In going over the list of graduates we find approximately 61 in the ministry, 19 missionaries (home and foreign), 39 teachers, 22 nurses, 13 doctors and dentists, besides many others now in colleges and universities, as well as others in business and other vocations. 1926 Page 62 Page 63 THE BETHANNUAL COACH ANDERSON "Andy" Andy demonstrated his ability as an ex-cellent coach and his eagerness and interest in the boys always made them fight their hardest. PAUL WOHLFORD Center and Captain Paul proved to be a good captain as well as a good player. He always out-jumped his opponents and his pivoting and basket shooting put Bethel in the fight. WALFRED LUNDSTEN "W affle" Wallie proved to be a strong man at defense and equally strong at offense, and his good basket shooting did much in making the team successful. RUDOLPH EHNBOM "Rudy" Rudy played stationary guard and his guarding broke up many of the opponents' plays. On offense, he also ably assisted his team-mates in working their plays. LLOYD HANSON Lloyd played running guard and was a valuable player to the team. He always playecl good ball and his long shots won many a game. His loss by graduation will be keenly felt. 0 IN (ITHLETICS 0 V b e 1926 Page 65 4 4 4.

Sitting: Lloyd Hanson, Walfred Lundsten, Paul Wohlford, Marvin Samuelson, Rudolph Ehnbom. HE good showing made by the basket ball boys this year was due largely to the creditable coaching of Herman Anderson. He has had much experience in playing and coaching and this, combined with the inter-est he showed in the boys and the co-operation they gave him, was very valuable to the team. It ended its season with fifteen wins and two defeats, both by close scores and to the same team. It was runner up for the Academic League Trophy, which it lost to Minnesota College, its only conqueror, by the close scores of 12-14 and 10-14 respectively. Previous to this first game, Bethel defeated Minnehalia Acad-emy by a 24-2 score and was doped to win the trophy, but the defeats by Min-nesota College did not spoil their record as in both games they went down fighting gamely. Prospects look bright for a strong team next year as only one man, Lloyd Hanson, is lost by graduation ; so with the return of the four regulars, Lundsten, Ehnbom, Samuelson and Captain Wohlford, strengthened by the substitutes, Myers, Johnson and Helander, the championship can be expected. The men receiving letters are Lundsten, Samuelson, Ehnbom, Hanson, Johnson and Myers. MAR VIN SAM UELSON "Sammy" Foreward What he lacked in size, he made up in speed and fight. He made himself dangerous to his opponents, either by breaking up their plays or by shooting baskets for his own team. ORVILLE JOHNSON Orville's size deterred him but he was al-ways in the thick of the fight and was a reliable man to put in at any moment. On offense he also did much in keeping the op-ponents' scores down. LAWRENCE HELANDER Tall Helander did not play much but when-ever he was under fire, he conducted himself splendidly. Next year he is going to prove himself a valuable asset to any good basket-ball team, and will do his share in helping our boys win. GLEN MYERS "Bucky Bucky was a reliable guard, ably playing either one. He repeatedly broke up the other team's best laid plans and he will prove a good man on next year's squad. GORDON RUSSELL "Goody" Much of the credit for the success of the team goes to Gundy. He ably managed the team and took an active interest in the boys, and the team is greatly indebted to him for the spirit and enthusiasm he aroused among the student body. 0 IP '0 V 1926 1926 Pug,' 66 Page 67 THE BETHANNUAL Standing, left to right: Gordon Russell; Marvin Samuelson, Treas.; Fritchiof Johnson.

Good track ma-terial was uncovered in this meet especially by the Freshmen who easily captured the meet with a score of 53. The Seniors came next with 20 while the Sophomores followed with 14 and the Juniors trailed last with 13 points. The Freshmen and Juniors combined in the one-half mile relay against the Seniors and Sophomores and the fourth and second year men lost by a great margin. The individual scores are as follows: Peterson 16, Helander 2, Russell 2, Wentz 6, Lundsten 25, Hoagfelt 7, Tupa 2, Anderson 5, Samuelson 5, Ehnbom 5, Sjolund 3, Johnson 2, Wohlford 4, Bergsten 10. Led by Captain Lundsten, highest point getter in the Interclass Meet, Bethel easily defeated their old rival, Minnehaha, by the score 61-22. By this victory, Bethel regained the cup won by Minnehaha last year. Bethel also entered faster com-petition, the Hamline Relay. In this meet they pitted their skill against the best academies of the state but due to their inexperience and absence of men, they failed to place.

During the pro-ceedings of a court on circuit in the country on a summer day, while Curran was addressing the court, a donkey in an adjoining field brayed loudly. The judge, interrupting, said: "Excuse me, Mr. Curran, one at a time please." Curran bowed acquiescence, then pro-ceeded with his address. Later, when the judge was delivering his charge to the jury, the donkey brayed again; on which Curran arose, and said: "I'm sorry, your Honor, but there seems to be such an echo that I can scarcely make out what you are saying." "If the president, vice-president and all the members of the cabinet should die, who would officiate ?" asked the teacher.

A class of little girls, studying draw-ing, was told by the teacher to draw the one thing they wanted most. All got busy except little Myrtle, who remained deep in thought. • "What's the matter, Myrtle ?" asked the teacher. "Don't you know what you want most ?" "Oh, yes, ma'am," replied the child, "but I don't know how to draw it." "Well, what is it you want?" asked the teacher. "I want to be married," said the child. —Ladies' Home Journal. She: "Don't you find journalism rather a thankless task ?" He: "On the contrary. Everything I have thus far written has been re-turned with thanks."

Gordon, called upon Dr. George Ellis, Unitarian minister, saying she would like to join his church, and beg-ging him for a statement of his beliefs and that of his religious society. This the Doctor gave with great clearness and fullness of detail. He parted with this hopeful convert from Episcopacy and lie never set eyes on her again till at an important social function she danced lightly up to the Doctor and said : "On thinking the matter over, I concluded to stay in my own church"; the reply to which was : "That is right Madam ! There's no use changing the labels on emply bottles." —Christian Leader.
