It is four hundred years, March 11th, since Balthasar Hubmaier, one of the four heretics mentioned in the Index of Prohibited Books issued by the Catholic church, was burned at the stake in Vienna, where his faithful wife was drowned in the Danube three days later, as martyrs for the faith, once for all delivered to the saints. His noble words are fulfilled : "Divine truth is immortal, and although in the present it may be arrested, scourged, crowned with thorns, crucified and laid in the grave, it will nevertheless rise again on the third day, victorious, and will reign in triumph for all eternity." It is three hundred years since the immortal dreamer of Bedford, John Bunyan, was born. Though Baptists, these heroes by their life and contribu-tion to soul liberty and a true gospel, belong to all mankind everywhere. In June this year at Toronto, the Baptist World Alliance will meet, when proper recognition of these heroes will be made. How much we have inherited from the pioneers and leaders of the past, we can never fully comprehend, and the extent of our obligation to them we cannot grasp. As heirs of the priceless legacy that has come down to us from the past, we have every reason to realize on our inheritance and rise to higher and nobler achieve-ments for Christ and humanity. The contribution of another year at Bethel cannot be described in monetary terms. It includes impressions upon the table of the immortal soul, which will remain when the rust of time has ceased to corrode. There are impulses to purer thinking, to nobler deeds, to a worth while life, which would never come in another environment. There are lessons learned not only from text books, but from the influence of Christian personality, which will ever be a guide in hours of per-plexity and moments of indecision, pointing to the path that insures happiness and success. There is an investment made in lives by faculty, students, parents and home folks, pastors and other friends, without which life would be poor indeed, but having been received, it is a constant reminder of the one of whom it is written: "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich." And you in whom the same young life is throbbing But with a steadier pulse and gentler flow; Whose hearts were made for sacrifice and loving, Whose soul's ideas grow with you as you grow— Oh, give to Christ your first, most sacred love, And of your heart's devotion give to Him the best you have. FACULTY A. J. WINGBLADE, A. M. Principal "The Christian who has faith has courage; and faith and courage can master almost any crisis." H. C. WINGBLADE, A. B. E. A. FINSTROM, Ph. B., Th. M., B. D.

When thinking of the past and of friends that we must leave, We are happy at heart and yet we do grieve, do grieve, do grieve. • CHORUS : Farewell, dear Bethel, We may no longer delay; Farewell ! Farewell! We must away, away, away. Now at last we must leave this dear, old school True, so true, to the Master's Rule. Graduation is here and we're ready at last to depart, But it's sad to leave the school so enshrined in our heart, in our heart. Each will go his separate way; Christ is our guide and Christ our stay. Our future's before us, and, though rugged the path may seem, We'll think of thee, dear Bethel, thou school of our dream, our dream. -PAUL WOHLFORD. 1928 BETHANNUAL 1928 5 en'. or s GODSPEED TO THE CLASS OF '28 By HENRY WINGBLADE WE are told that a great president confessed that he felt more thrilled and honored when graduated from high school than when inaugurated to the presi-dency. And it was Lord Byron who sang: "Talk not to me" of a name great in story, The days of our youth are the days of our glory." Ah, youth ! That is the treasured possession of the high school graduate and of the class of 1928. When I was a high school boy, a great speaker stirred me with his address. On my going forward to thank him, his quick rejoinder was: "I would give all that I possess for the youth that you possess." Of course he would. And John D. Rocke-feller would have done the same. Yet how fast youth flies. We are young, we are young, we are young, and sud-denly we are OLD. Four years in school seemed so long when you looked ahead. But, oh, how short when you look back ! And the speed of your years will increase until they will fairly rush by. Now your years seem big like harvest moons. Soon, too soon, they will seem like precious pearls. To the heart of ambitious youth, all things are possible. "There is more be-yond !" There are fields to conquer •, there is a world to win. But he who would be truly successful must take into consideration two worlds. There is the world all about us with its flowers and its star's. There is also the world within us with its mystic feelings and throbbing ideals. It is this world that' makes us what we are. Jesus referred to it when He said, "My Kingdom is not of this world." That world includes love and sympathy ; friendship and devotion; happiness and content-ment; faith and truth. In this realm Christ is King. We may affirm our allegiance to ,Him and be the happy subjects. You have had many good times at Bethel. You have wrestled with many prob-lems and won many victories. Remember that the real victories are the victories of the soul, of the spirit. He can make you more than conqueror over all the subtle and invisible enemies that beset your heart. My wish for you all is this: May no burden be so heavy, no temptation so strong, no problem so puzzling, and no sorrow so poignant but that you shall rise triumphant above them all, with a stronger faith in the eternal verities and a clearer vision of the true meaning of life. You have been placed in this material world, but you need not be of this material world. "One ship sails east, another west, To the self same winds that blow; 'Tis the set of the sail and not the gale, That determines which way they go. Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate, As we journey on through life. 'Tis the set of the soul that determines the goal, And not the calm or strife."

And these were called Fresh-men. For they were new in the ways of knowledge, to the dates of ancient history, to the chemical equations, and to the proper forms of English. And it came to pass that Alfred, whose surname is Wingblade, saith unto them that gathered in the hall of diversion and study, "If it seem good unto ye, ye shall be joined together, one to another." And Delpha, the fair daughter of the House of Jacobson, was appointed to give counsel among them. And they cast lots for a leader and the lot fell upon Fritj of, of the House of Johnson. And he went before and led them. And his chief aide was Eric, whose surname is Sjolund. And Alvin, of the House of Johnson, was appointed keeper of the mint. And Naomi, daughter of the House of Hultgren, was made recorder. And it came to pass after these things that there was a great, marvelous assem-blage in this temple of learning. At this gathering only Freshmen were present, all the other tribes being barred. And there was much feasting and merrymaking to the clash of cymbals. CHAPTER 2 Uneventful days then followed till their second year of learning, when Alfred, whose surname is Wingblade, sent messages to them that had been Freshmen bestow-ing upon them the title of "Sophomore." And it came to pass that laws were desired by the Sophomores. For peace must be kept. In assembly all the Sophomores joined in one common union, and named for them, as their leader, Eric, of the House of Sjolund, who was appointed to reason together with Evelyn, daughter of the House of Lange; and Hilding, whose surname is Lind. And these made for themselves those rules that were pleasing unto them. And it so happened that on the twentieth day of the tenth month of the year of our Lord, 1925, that the multitude gathered again for another grand feast. CHAPTER 3 And the days and the evenings passed. And the class waxed stronger in knowl-edge. And it came to pass that Alfred, whose surname is Wingblade, gave them the name "Junior." For their knowledge was increasing with time. And, lo, all these things came to pass in the year of our Lord, 1926. Now, it came to pass that they cast lots a third time for a leader among them. And the lot fell to Paul, whose surname is Wohlford. Dorothy, daughter of the SENIOR CLASS POEM Four short years have quickly passed While here at Bethel we displayed Our tireless energy and pluck With here and there a gift of luck. We've primed and crammed to get our work, To pass the quizz and never shirk; In time, at last, we see the end, The goal toward which our way we wend. Now we're full-fledged seniors grown, Thirty-one, without a drone; With heads held high and ideals higher We'll work toward fame and never tire. With Christ enthroned within our hearts Our Lord and Master strength imparts To meet the storms that will assail, To stand for right and never fail. And yet, the hardest time of all Conies at the parting when we call, J "Goodbye, dear Bethel," as we start To,meet the world with all its art. We'll not forget the lessons learned When toward the world our face we've turned, And Bethel days will "blues" dispel As still we sag, "Farewell! Farewell!" -KATHERINE A. FELTHOUS. • Twenty-Two Twenty-Three .1 • 1928 BETHANNUAL 1928 House of Florin, was made recorder, and Thelma, daughter of the House of Brandt, was chosen keeper of the mint. And, lo, these Juniors made merry among their fellow students on that day which is the twelfth in the days of February. And this day is dedicated to a worthy man whose name is Abraham Lincoln. Labored busily the Juniors, for alas ! they had discovered that their stores were lacking treasures, lacking both gold and silver coin. Then offered they their talents to friends and strangers, and, lo, the coffers were filled to overflowing. And it came to pass in due time that these Juniors brought abundant joys to their elders, who are called Seniors. And, lo, a great and joyous celebration was held on the twenty-first day of the month of May. And there was much playing of cymbals and harps. CHAPTER 4 And, behold, the class prospered even as the days and evenings passed, and their time in this temple of learning grew short. And, lo, they were called "Seniors." And the year was the twenty-first in the reign of Alfred, whose surname is Wingblade. Now, it came to pass that lots were cast for a leader among them. And, lo, this was for the fourth time. And Paul, whose surname is Wohlford, went before and led them. For he had been a leader in an earlier time. And Katherine, daughter of the House of Felthous, was chosen to aid him. And they named for recorder, Dorothy, of the House of Florin. Even as they had chosen females before. And Victor, whose surname is Erickson, became keeper of the mint. Moreover, it came to pass that a great feast was held. And, behold, the guests, many of them numbered among the Seniors, were those who had won glory in the field of battle. And these were football victors. Now, it came to pass, that a drama was given for those who gathered in the great hall of diversion. And this was on the twenty-seventh day of the fourth month of that year of our Lord. And, lo, victory was theirs. For they were guided on the way by a wise teacher. And, behold, he was Henry, whose surname is Wingblade. In due time it came to pass that there was much joy and merrymaking to the playing of harps and cymbals, of timbrels and trumpets. And, lo, the Seniors were indeed the delighted guests of their yoUnger brethren, the Juniors. Now, it came to pass after these things, that a last gathering of the Seniors was held in the forest by the big sea water. And there was much merrymaking among them. And, lo, this was for the last time. And it has come to pass that these Chronicles must end. For a great and over-whelming grief fills the hearts of the Seniors. For, lo, their days in this temple of ]earning are ended. 1928 BETHANNUAL 1928 SENIOR PROPHECY Twenty Years Hence ONE cold day Mrs. Fred Wing (Thelma Brandt) sat in her home at Lone Man's Point, Alaska, with a radio on the table before her.

HAROLD BRYGGER , EDWIN OSTER, MARGARET JOHNSON. Witnesses: Thirty Thirty-One 1928 BE THANNUAL 1928 1928 BE TH ANNUAL 1928 • RADIO STATION N - E -W- S IT was a beautiful evening in June. The last strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March had just died out as Torry Orest led his blushing bride, Nellie Angstrom, from the church to the limousine waiting at the curb. Who should be sitting at the wheel, resplendent in his shining livery, but Joseph Mattson. A few evenings later, the happy couple were seated in their comfy love nest, about to tune in on the evening radio program, when to their great amazement, who should come walking in to see them but Miss Nelson, their former class adviser. She in-formed them that Champ Lundin was the popular and high salaried announcer at station N-E-W-S at the present time. They tuned in immediately and heard the old familiar voice announce "Bed Time Stories by Uncle Willie Swan." Following this delightful presentation was an inspiring duet entitled "Where Is My Wandering Boy To-night ?" sung by Vivian Correll and Faith Carlson, ac-companied at the Baldwin Grand by Charles Peterson. Squeek---rrrk--ee !!!! "We have just been favored with a trumpet solo by Bethel Academy's ex-foot-ball hero, Raymond Nease." "The guest speaker of the evening will be Clarence Gilbert, who has just re-turned from his seventh tour of the world, and whose subject will b,-; 'Celebrities I have met while globe-trotting'." Whee-awrk---urp !!? ? "In my travels I have met many old friends in strange places. One of my most surprising encounters was with Raymond Olson, a chemist in darkest Africa, who has become famous for discovering a formula for removing stains from paper towels. My stay here was also made most delightful by my old friend, David Morgan, who has now undertaken a business establishment there selling Frigidaires to the jungle natives. While crossing the Sahara Desert I was met by a Yellow Cab driven by Mr. Harry Berg, whose passengers were none other than two wealthy spinsters, Helen Bishop and Helga Mossberg, who were still trying to get a thrill out of life. One of my most interesting experiences was in Jerusalem, where I visited at the home of Dr. and Mrs. William Backlund (nee Helen Noren). Dr. Backlund has the largest animal hospital in Palestine. Myrtle Erickson is his assistant superin-tendent; her favorite patients are guinea pigs. During my stay in Germany I met Margaret Knutson at the home of Donald Wyatt, Prime Minister of Germany, where she was obstinately demanding at least a payment on Germany's war debts to America. Eek !!----wow---urp?? Rubberless rubber has been perfected by Elizabeth Wiebe and Dorothy Dexter. Dorothy acknowledges her Latin was a great help in this. It was my privilege, while on the ocean liner, 'The Titanic,' to meet Mr. Wil-liam Tapper, returning home from Lapland with his bride, Myrtle Granberg, who has long been a missionary there. Rrrr---weee?? While traveling in Greenland I was attracted to a scene such as I had never before, observed. There, in the window of the outstanding restaurant, stood Llewel- Thirty-Two Thirty-Three 1 9 2 8 BE THANNUAL 1 9 2 8 o v orts or es lyn Christianson, tossing flap-jacks, while Margaret Robertson, dainty in her white array, carried them carefully to the hundreds of patrons. Edwin Brandt and Lucille Glover are conducting a farm in France. They specialize in raising bigger beets for better people. I was somewhat amazed, upon entering the Canary Islands, to find Justine Neufeldt and Ada Peterson conducting a home for aged cats and friendless canary birds. Ellen Antonson and Edith Anderson are now active members of the Humane Society there. They say business is fine. Squak---eek---rrrrrr While in Venice I was greatly surprised to find Marie Skogman and Christine Carlson employed as traffic cops on the Grand Canal. Arthur Gammond, who is now a resident of Hong Kong, China, has made a name for himself by the invention of a toothless comb with electric polisher attachment for bald-headed men. Urrp—squeek— ? ? While speaking to one of my friends in Brazil, South America, I received the interesting news that Glenn Campblell is a distinguished soap box orator. I had the privilege during my stay to hear him give a lecture on his favorite subject 'More Pay and Less Work for Working Girls.' I reached the North Pole shortly before Christmas, a very busy time of the year, and can you imagine ?—awrk—ee-whrr--Ruth I. Johnson and Gladys Rich were busy working for Santa Claus, varnishing pop-corn balls. S. W. Swanson, under the pen name of 'Priscilla Payne,' is conducting the `Love Lorn Problems' column for the 'Stockholm Tidningen' in Stockholm, Sweden. Lillian MacMillan, it is said, has given up her career of schooling, and has settled down to a quiet life on a farm in Hollywood. While visiting a session of congress in Washington recently, I was overwhelmed at hearing a bill being introduced by Dona Miller, asking that fish be provided with bathing suits. I have not as yet heard whether that bill was passed or not. A research party consisting of Marion Hallstrom, Esther Johnson, and Louise Linschied has just started on a trip around the world in search of George Sinding, noted chiropractor, who disappeared seven years ago. Helen Florin is busily at work training animal crackers at the Sanitary Fond Company in Paris. Linnea Palmquist and Vera Ledin are also in that city, the proprietors of the Madame Style Shop, an exclusive ladies' store. Ivar Anderson, a prominent philosopher and independent thinker, has recently taken unto himself a wife. His main business is that of editing the 'Duluth Herald.' Astrid Swanson has been stung in her career. For many years she has been caretaker of an apiary on Ellis Island." Whrrrr—eeeek—whurp ?? Once again the melodious voice of the distinguished announcer was heard over the microphone introducing Mayor Theodore Tupa of St. Paul, the final speaker of the evening. Thus a most delightful evening was brought to a close after finding out the whereabouts of the various members of the Junior Class of 1928.

Many a student has come to Bethel and there been given the opportunity to develop his vocal abilities in the Male Chorus under the able leadership of Professor Hultgren. The Glee Club composed of nineteen members have sung their way into the hearts of all who have listened to them. Each year the club takes at least one trip to cities in the vicinity of St. Paul. Last year a trip was taken through Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin singing in about a dozen Swedish Baptist Churches. Everywhere they were welcomed and asked to return. In February a short week-end trip was taken to Little Falls, St. Cloud, and Brainerd. A more extensive trip has been planned for this year in which they plan to visit Chicago and other cities in Illinois. This annual concert tour is always looked forward to with a great deal of an-ticipation by the members of the club as they always have a splendid time at the same time that they are rendering remarkable concerts.

The opportunity of singing in the chorus is open to all students who can sing and who are interested in the develop-ment of musical ability. Mr. Hultgren spent the past summer in Europe, giving con-certs and studying in Milano, Italy, under the famous teacher, Gaetano Rebonato. Mr. A. H. Oberg has been the accompanist for the chorus as well as teaching a large number of pupils at the Academy and at the Payne Avenue Studio. An Easter Concert was given on March twenty-first by the Chorus and Glee Club assisted by Adolph M. Olsen. Ada Peterson, Eagle Bend, Minn., and George Sinding, St. Paul, have this year earned diplomas in Piano. Certificate pupils are: Katherine Felthous and Thelma Brandt, Piano ; Vivian Correll, Voice.

It is a publication edited by the students and published once a month. The Clarion, which is being successfully published, is celebrating its seventh anniversary. In this twelve page publication appear many varieties of reading mat-ter. Our President, Dr. Hagstrom, writes for us some very inspirational messages in each issue. The Alumni are given a very representative space as we are always glad to hear what they have chosen for their life work. The best of the English class themes are printed as are also interesting letters from Bethel friends in the foreign missions. Sports, humor, and literary events are always counted upon to add zest and life to the publication. Each class is represented by a one column writeup. A school paper, such as the Clarion, is valued in that friends and parents who live out of the city can subscribe and be informed of the various activities that the students take part in. The editors gain a great deal of knowledge in English in that they correct and go over every article entered for publication.

The aim of this organization is two-fold. First, it tends to cultivate the strength of leader-ship and develop the ability to speak in public. Secondly, the knowledge of the student is increased by the informing programs consisting of prepared and ex-temporaneous speeches, lectures on literary geniuses, reading, etc. Under the auspices of this society, contests in oratory, declamation, and debate are arranged. Musical numbers of the program are presented by the student talent. During the last year many interesting and profitable programs have been en-joyed by the students, as well as the public. Among the varied programs presented, there have been stereopticon lectures on the "Christmas Carol" and a "Trip through Sweden." At one meeting of the society the candidates for the presidency of the ',United States were represented by different students, who presented the platform of their candidate. Also the Oratorical and Debating contests have been sponsored by the society. These programs were held in the afternoon. The regular meetings of the Alpha Beta Literary Society are held every other Saturday evening. A fel-lowship hour follows every program, which is held in the dining hall of the Academy. Refreshments are served, and the students are given the opportunity to better acquaint themselves with one another.

The purpose of the society is to stimulate interest in the Swedish language and in Swedish literature. Every student of Swedish descent should be interested in the country of his fathers, and in his mother tongue. He should take pride in learning the Swedish language because it is the language of his fathers. In order to be able to understand and appreciate Swedish literature he should have a desire to master the language. The Svea Society aims to stimulate this interest in the students, for Sweden, its language, and its literature. The Svea Society hold's a Swedish declamatory contest each year. The winners this year were: William Backlund and David Larson, tie for first place; Olga Mag-nuson, second place. Several interesting programs have been rendered during the school year. At one of the meetings Dr. Hagstrom showed slides and gave a lecture on the history of the Swedish Baptists. OFFICERS 1ST SEMESTER OFFICERS WILLIAM BACKLUND IVAR ANDERSON RUTH I.

They have come to realize that the field of the world, and that in the uttermost parts the ripening harvest, calls for mustered force to gather in the sheaves. Many have seen the vision of the great need and have answered the call as did the Prophet Isaiah, "Here am I Lord, send me." They have gone to fill their place in the dark and vast regions beyond the sea. Others have consecrated their lives to the Lord's work, and are willing as the Lord directs to answer the call. Each year our Student Volunteer group is enlarged. Their vision and missionary zeal is kept aglow through the meetings held during the year to discuss the work in the foreign field, and also by messages that returned missionaries bring. Only the love of God kindled in the deepest recesses of the soul prompts these young people to give themselves a living sacrifice to God. Yes, they're calling; you have heard them, Now, my friends, what will you do? See, the fields are white to harvest But, the laborers—oh, so few! Up. my friends! Be up and doing For the mime while yet 'tis day; Let each one of us be willing To help bear the news away. - - - President Vice President - Secretary President Vice President Secretary Treasurer "Send the gospel to us faster"— Hear you not the heathen's cry? "Grant the boon we meekly ask for, Do not pass us longer by. You have heard that Christ, your Master, In His blessed, holy word, Bade you tell to all the message. Can it be that you've not heard?"

But amidst the busy hum of worldly toil comes a call, soft but sure. Only the Heaven-ward turned ear can hear that tender, pleading call; for it comes from the lips of God. The Ministerial Students from our own country, from Sweden, and from Canada, have come to this our Swedish Baptist School to prepare to fill the gap in the gospel ranks and answer the divine call. Today America needs not less than five thousand ministers and missionaries annually to help stem the tide of spiritual loss; to this call only two thousand are responding. One hundred fifteen of our Swedish Baptist Churches are without pastors, of whom sixty-five are able to give adequate support. Recalling the words of the Book for devout study and indefatigable labor, the Ministerial Students have applied themselves to their work and have profited very much from the special class in Homiletics given by Professor Adolph Olson. It has been a pleasure for us to conduct services together with the Missionary Training Students at the West Side Mission every Saturday evening, and monthly meetings at the Union Gospel Mission. Through our feeble efforts souls have been won to Christ, which is indeed a reward for our labor. OFFICERS OLIVIA JOHNSON MEMORIAL MISSIONARY MOVEMENT "Lives of great men oft remind us We can make our lives sublime." THE Olivia Johnson Memorial Missionary Movement stands as a challenge to every true Bethelite. We all are acquainted with the story of Miss Olivia John-son. God called her to the far away Philippine Islands to be a witness for Him. She followed as a true soldier of the Cross. After spending six years of active service she returned to the United States for a needed rest, and further study. It seems as though God used her as a key to unlock this door to the Philippines, and then called her away to that celestial shore. Many times we forget the faces of those who have gone on before, but often we remember words which they dropped during their last hours. So might be the case with Miss Olivia Johnson, we know her not as a person, we have not seen her, but the immortal words which she breathed during her fleeting moments still remain with us, and God help them to always ring in our ears. When drawing her last breath, and asked what her wishes were for the work of the Philippines she replied, "Send three in my place." Fellow classmates, is it not sad that those three have not yet been sent ? No, not even one has gone. There is a real challenge to us as members of the 0. J. M. M. M. to go, God willing, and .hold the banner of Jesus Christ high where Miss Olivia Johnson planted it the year 1913. THE ATHENAEAN SOCIETY HE Athenaean Society has an important place in our school. It is an organiza-tion for the girls only, and consequently all the girls enrolled during the school year are considered to be members of the Athenaean Society. Each school year is marked by many events that the girls cherish after school days are over. One of the great events of the Athenaean circle this past year was the Thanksgiving ban-quet. A large number of our girls were present. Long remembered will the mes-sage be that was given by Mrs. Mears of the American Baptist Church, as well as the many musical selections given by our own girls. The girls also meet at other occasions during each year for a short program and social repast. As many of the Bethel girls work in homes and find it difficult to at-tend other social gatherings, this society has been a means of furthering their friend-ship and social intercourse. Our wish is to see the Athenaean Society expand from year to year, and to have even a greater place in the school in future years than it has at present.

The officers are William Backlund, president; William Tapper, vice president; Dorothy Florin, secretary; and Edwin Brandt, treasurer. Bethel offers not only education in all academic subjects but gives each student an opportunity to build up his body through good physical exercise and sports un-der Christian standards and principles. There is nothing which equips one for the game of life as to learn to play the game hard and fair, and not only be a good winner but a good loser as well. The Athletic Association tries to encourage athletics and has met with wonderful success in bringing out latent qualities in backward students. After the football season was over, a banquet was held in honor of the players at which each of the players was awarded a letter for upholding the honors in the games played. The Association aims to place sports where they should be for we realize that without sports the school spirit of any school would soon be dead. We aim to place athletics where they will be an inducement and a help to acquire the other academic knowledge in that it builds a strong physical body.

STANDING-C. E. Carlson, Athletic Director; Carl Hedwall, William Backlund, Robert Peterson, Hilding Lind, Manager SITTING—Hollis Johnson, Paul Wohlford, Marvin Samuelson, Captain; Gordon Johnson, Harold Brygger BASKETBALL THE excellent showing made by the basketball boys this year was largely due to the good coaching of Louis Swearingen. He has had much experience and this combined with the cooperation of the team could only result in a successful season. ' Everyone of the players can truthfully say that he has done his best for the past season. They didn't win all their games, but those that they lost were lost with a good spirit. The boys always came on the floor with their usual manifestation of ‘`pep." They treated their opponents with kindness and were only opponents during the games. We are sorry to some extent that so many of the members of the team are Seniors. We are hoping, however, that someone will be able to fill their places and win the cup next year. With the loss of Paul Wohlford, Harold Brygger, Hollis Johnson, Gordon Johnson, Marvin Samuelson, and Robert Peterson it is necessary to have an entire new team next year. We are glad to say that some of the players aren't Seniors and with them and the addition of new ones next year we will look forward to another season of victory. We are sure that many of these boys, as they continue their education, will be playing in college teams next year. Watch for them ! You will have no difficulty in distinguishing them as they always play an honest game. Fifty-Six Fifty-Seven 1928 BE THANNUAL 1928 1928 BETHANNUAL 1928 MARVIN SAMUELSON, "Sammy" - - - - Captain and Forward Sammy was a commanding leader who knew how to handle serious situations. He proved to be one of our trickiest players. This is Marvin's third successful year on Bethel's squad, and his absence next year will be keenly felt. "She should have seen you play Sammy." PAUL WOHLFORD, "Paul" - - - - - - - - - Center In losing Paul through graduation there will be it vacancy extremely hard to fill. Paul has been our center for the past three years, always putting himself into the game determined to win, and when others were incapable he carried on the fight. Wohlford has been high point man the last three seasons. "Too late girls��he's taken." HOLLIS JOHNSON, "Holly" - - - - - - - Forward Through his speed and scoring Holly did more than his share in placing the quint in the front lines. He continually outwitted his opponents by his clever pivoting and speedy offensive work, and proved that size does not always determine a player's ability. "He's still young and available." GORDON JOHNSON, "Bunky" - - - - Guard Gordon, our two year veteran, developed into one of the finest guards that ever donned a Bethel uniform. "Bunky," towering six feet two inches, proved almost impassable to the opponents. He also graduates. • "Alas—almost married." HAROLD BRYGGER, "Brigadear" - - - - - - - - Guard The squad was strengthened both offensively and defensively by the enrollment of Brygger. The high anticipations when he first appeared on the floor were not shat-tered. Before coming to Bethel Harokl played a center position but worked in at guard splendidly. "He's not married—bat contemplating." C. E. CARLSON, "Prof" - - - - - - Athletic. Director This is Carlson's first year at Bethel as athletic director. The boys have appreciated the interest and cooperation which he has shown, and indications are that athletics in coming years will advance under his capable management. "He's a teacher, girls." CARL HEDWALL, "Cooler" - - - - - - - 7- Forward Though not a regular on this year's quint we hope Carl will be back next year to strengthen the team. He has proved to be capable at the forward position and always a ready man. "Single—very much ROBERT PETERSON, "Bob" - - - - - - - - - - Guard Bob was always a good man to put in at any time, and when in the game did his best. He is a new man, but after seeing him play one would think him a veteran. "A Sophomore girl has him." WILLIAM BACKLUND, "Bill" - - - - - - - - Guard Bill claims for himself the distinction of being the Champion Bench Warmer, but the squad, seeing in Backlund leadership and great possibilities, elected him captain of next year's team. "Still smilin��y—but taken." HILDING LIND, "Lind" - - - - - - - Manager Choosing a capable manager is not always an easy matter, but in Lind we found the qualities desired. He was always on the job.

They think of it as a j game which requires cnly grit and no science. However true this might have been some years ago, it is not true today. Football is getting to be recognized as a game of skill and one of upbuilding of character. With the latter in view Bethel is going to have a good Football team next year, which is seen from the results of what was done this season. It was quite a problem to get enough of the boys to don these uniforms. Finally, after a great deal of persuading, we did get a team. We met St. Paul Academy and also met a defeat. We played several other games and every one of them gave us reasons for hoping for a good team for next year. Clarence Gilbert was elected captain and he had the co-operation of every one of the players. BASEBALL AND TRACK THESE balmy, spring afternoons are well redeemed by the Bethel baseball stars. It has been somewhat disappointing this year, for the weather has prevented the team from getting out on the diamond. The boys who are playing are all determined to make up for lost time. Bethel has always had a track team, one which has kept up the record in its scope as well as the other teams which our school always manages to have. This sport has also been somewhat hampered by the delaying spring, but the delay has made the candidates all the more eager to get out. 1 9 2 8 BE THANNUAL 1 9 2 8 THE SCHOOL DIARY SEPTEMBER 13—Bethel Academy Registration. 14--First day of school.—Just like getting home again. 17—Get acquainted social.—After looking at a few of the new arrivals, we conclude that our friend Champ loses the honor of being the school midget. 17—Saturday at last.

Numbers of Bethel students, after com-pleting their academic work, have entered the Mounds-Midway School of Nursing to pre-pare themselves as nurses in some service at home or in the foreign field.
