'I L'a:;e • "A missionary home in Cape Town, South Africa." "A leper Christian church in Kohenza, ASSalll, India." THE following pages represent the effort of the Bethannual staff of 1929 to tell the story in words and pictures of school life at Bethel Academy, and especially of the activities of the 1928- 29 student body. We hope that this Bethannual will prove a val-ued record of the school year and that as its pages are turned in the future it will bring back many happy associations and memories. The members of the staff and other students who have assisted in the work have done their tasks cheer-fully and with enjoyment. To all who have had a part in making this Bethannual what it is, we express our thanks. - A THLETICS Girls' Athletics Track Baseball 111 1" .111 - • I J' 11 Pip•pi401.6 '0,) 1 11 l'i)1111111 ' liflY tire , „ .

ARVID HAGSTROM, D. D. "Certainly it is heaven upon earth to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn up the poles of truth." S . • di 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 - -.0-0 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 President's Message As thou didst send one into the world, even so send I them into the world." John 17:18 and a parallel passage in John 20:21. SIGNIFICANT words these by Jesus in the first instance addressed to his Father in his high priestly prayer, and in the second instance as a resurrection message to his disciples. They indicate the source, the authority, the contents, and the pur-pose of the missionary's call and commission. Its source, is the eternal council chambers of God, for was not that the source of the commission given to Jesus Christ the Son of God? Its authority none other than the expressed Will of God the Fa-ther, the Creator of Heaven and Earth and His Son, Jesus Christ. Its contents, the message of Divine redemption, a complete cure for humanity's sin, misery and woe. It was that which brought Jesus down from Heaven above, He who though rich, yet for our sakes became poor, that we through his poverty might become rich. The pur-pose was to proclaim, to make known his glorious redemption, to unfold, carry on and complete his program and plan for the salvation of mankind; to bring back the wandering ones to God and to make possible the coming into their lives the person and life of a living Christ. This is the task to which the early disciples were called, and none the less is that which demands the energy, attention and devotion of every fol-lower of the Lord from that day to this. Bethel's contribution to this host of "Her-alds of the Cross" has been no insignificant one and it is increasing with each gradu-ating class. This is a cause for much rejoicing on the part of friends and supporters of Bethel for it is the real justification of the work carried on in this school. Our problem and our task, therefore, at Bethel is fundamentally a religious problem. The words of the Master have their application to the work done here. It is a God appoint-ed, a Christ given task, hence included in His prayer to God and His resurrection message. This task has its bearing upon and relation to the home, the church, the school, and the place, work and relation of the individual in the world. This problem can be solved only as the christian spirit of love and service becomes epidemic. The heart of the individual must be right before God, must be fired with the divine flame of sympathy for the lost, and an unquenchable desire to reach and re-deem them from sin, to the extent that no sacrifice will be deemed too great to make, no price too dear to be paid, no service too great to render that this work may be com-pleted and Christ be made known to all who would know Him and surrender all to Him. No other importance can attach to any acre of ground, any building, any article of equipment or furnishing, any organization, any publication, and in this case also- "Bethannual"—at Bethel except as it makes its contribution to the object for which Christ came into this world. This likewise holds true regarding the life, service, and influence of each Board member, each member of the faculty, each employee, and each student; as well as with each letter or message composed or sent out from Bethel, each service or meeting held, each class or study period conducted. All should, and we hope does play its part in the unfolding and completing of the world program of our Saviour and Lord. Religion is a grace within, A faith, a love that masters sin. An aim that will not let man rest Until he gives the world his best. Source of most winsome worldly things, Solace of humble folks and kings.

From the smoke and the noise of the city, From the peace of the far-reaching plain, From the beauties of mountain and valley, We came here, a questioning train. We wondered how we would like Bethel, If the time that we spent here would pay ; Now we know that our course will be useful Till we come to the end of life's clay. We have found Bethel more than a building With classroom and teacher and rule. She seems to us rather a person, A warm friend to us is our school. And of those lArlio have guided our footsteps Along erudition's bright way We will think with fond memories always Till we come to the end of life's day. See ! the portals of service stand open ! We must bid our clear Bethel "Good-by, " And work in the vineyard of duty, For the Master who reigneth on high. So in parting we'll wish, Alma Mater, The best of God's gifts, as we pray ; And we'll ever be boosters for Bethel Till we come to the end of life's day. —By A. A.

Page 22 Page zs. n 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 Class Song Proudly wave our colors, rose and silver, The chosen emblems of our class, While the words of our sad departing Peal out softly to you as we pass. Farewell to thee ! Farewell to thee ! Dear school, we leave thee with a heavy sigh ; One lingering look before we go our way, Then we must say Goodbye. From the distant east and west we came To fit ourselves for future days, When we should upon life's sea embark To serve God and mankind in many ways. When the cares and trials of life oppress us, And when the teardrops swiftly fall, We'll forget all troubles in remembrance Of happy days we have spent in Bethel's hall. —Ethel Grindall Page 24 - -0 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 0-- PROF. HENRY C. WINGBLADE The Senior Class has been glad for the privilege of hazing Professor Henry ifingblade as its adviser. He has been a real friend to the class and has given his best to it. As we' leave Bethel and go to our various callings, we shall be bet-ter persons for having been under his influence. As we think of him we shall be inspired to better things. Message to the Senior Class WE are told of a young sculptor who had been working painstakingly on an equestrian statue—a man on horseback. The work finished, the art-ist called in a friend, a connoisseur, to express his critical opinion. The older man viewed the piece of art for a moment, then voiced his approval in just two words : "Forward march !" The statue was all but alive. As we look upon the Class of '29 we see a group of young people, half a hundred, throbbing with life ! They are strong and they are ambitious and they are ready to go. Forward march ! But Quo Vadis ? Whither away ? Where are they going ? 0 Senior Class of 1929, where will you be twenty years from . now ? Where do you want to be ? If you "want to" enough that deep desire will be a dynamic to bring you there. It would be.beautiful to look back on a long life and feel that you had chos-en just the right path. A girl who was in the senior class at Bethel only a few years ago writes from distant Congo, "We cannot tell you how much we like it here." A veteran missionary who stood before us a few weeks ago, testified as follows : "If I had my life to live over again, I would choose the same path of service." There are apples of pleasure, and nuggets of gold ; there are gems of knowl-edge and scepters of power ; but there is no joy, no wealth, no influence like that which comes to one who has chosen the human heart as his vineyard, his mine, his great love. One of Tennyson's characters, a queen mother, is trying to dissuade her son from going to the scene of warfare where his royal father is leading the Christian forces. She pleads with him to stay at home and follow the deer. From the princely heart of the lad bursts forth in the rejoinder : "Follow. the deer ? Follow the Christ ! Follow the King ! Else wherefore was I born?" So to the Senior Class we say, God Speed ! We shall not forget you. Keep your vision toward the morning and your heart open to His love ; thus shall you find light for every problem and strength for every burden. Forward march ! But—"Follow the Christ ! Follow the King." OLIDA E. GEBHARD - St. Paul, Minn. "Whosoever diligently doeth good procureth favor." RICHARD D. ANDERSON - St. Paul, Minn.

Many came with hopes and fears, but they were soon put to rest by Admirable Wingblade, who examined them, found their shortcomings, and assigned them to their vari-ous tasks. The very first day after their arrival they started their cruise. As soon as these landlubbers had gained their "sea legs" they selected their officers. 'Waif red Lundsten was chosen captain ; Marvin Samuelson, first mate ; Olga Anderson, keeper of the log ; Ada Peterson, purser. While these officers were very competent, they were very inexperienced. In view of this fact it was decided to select an old sea-faring pilot to guide them over the sometimes tumultuous and rocky sea. There were a number eligible for the position. When the lot was cast it was found that Miss Effie Nelson was the least fortunate among the licensed pilots. But being a veteran seaman she immediately took her place at the helm of the good ship "Class of '29". So on sailed the good ship in a very interesting and enlightening but some-what uneventful voyage. However, near the end of the journey a great storm arose and a few of the careless were swept overboard into the angry sea. Part of these were picked up by the following ship, "Class of '30", but sad to say a few were lost forever, never again to climb the mast of a worthy vessel. Shortly after this, the boat reached port and the crew went their various ways. When it was time to haul anchor, again most of the old hands were found on deck. Also among the old ones were a number of swarthy salts who came from other vessels. As it was the custom of the good ship to choose new officers for each voyage, Marvin Samuelson was selected to occupy the captain's position with Walf red Lundsten as first mate. Myrtle Erickson and Ella Ostrom were made keeper of the log and purser respectively. As Miss Nelson had faithfully taken them thru the first stormy voyage, she was again found at the helm of the good ship. This trip found a great number immune to sea-sickness, which showed a marked 'degree of experience. The crew made less mistakes and went about their duties in a more disciplined manner. As a result, the ship weathered the storms much more easily and reached port in clue time a very happy crew. After a brief lapse of time, the great dock was swarming with sailors going to and fro in preparation to sail on their respective ships. One fine September day, from the deck of the '29 a cry of "Heave to" was heard. The great chain that held the anchor was heard rumbling on its roller and the anchor was soon - .44 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 }E4-- nestled on the ship's bosom. The tars went about their work without a question or murmur and in a short time every sail was unfurled. After a few days at sea in a gentle morning breeze they chose their officers. Miss Nelson by popu-lar acclaim. was already at the wheel. The members honored were : Clarence Gil-bert„ captain ; Ivar Anderson, first mate ; Dona Miller, keeper of the log ; Helen Floren, purser. A few months had passed. In the distance loomed storm clouds that threat-ened to swoop down upon them and devour them like a great sea monster. Eve-ry member worked frantically to insure their safety. The storm finally broke but the crew had done its work well and the ship, was saved. As they had not failed they were able to invite the crew from the ship, "Class of '28" to a great feast. This was the only record of any serious danger on this trip. By the time port was sighted the rays of the warm June sun had so saturated their bodies with a want for rest that the crew was glad; to cross the gangplank and take their well earned rest. Again after three months had passed the crew gathered for its final voyage. Due to their previous experience the group was now familiar with the ways of the sea. The last journey was looked forward to with happiness and confidence that can only come with years of sailing. After three years of hard work they were at last reaching a, high degree of seamanship. It was easy to see that they were the oldest crew on the sea. It being the usual custom to elect the officers from the crew, Clarence Gil-bert was chosen captain ; Ivar Anderson, first mate ; Dona Miller, keeper of the log; Justine Neufeld, purser. On their last and final voyage it was necessary to pick an old and experienced pilot. After searching the records carefully it was found that Mr. H. C. Wingblade had piloted many vessels and not once had he failed to bring them in safely to port. He consented to take the wheel of the ship. When the old rose and silver banner of the ship was hoisted, the anchor hauled, the slip pulled out of harbor full steam ahead. After cruising several months the crew decided to stage a drama on the high seas. This proved to be very interesting as on the appointed night many ships had dropped anchor to watch this spectacle. As the ships were reaching port on their final voyage it had always been the unique custom for the next oldest and ablest crew to show their respect to the retiring crew. When this event was held all worries and cares were cast over-board and they had a great feast. Finally the good ship under the guiding hand of the capable pilot steamed into port and dropped anchor for the last time. The crew gathered on deck ar-rayed in their latest uniforms. Amid the shouting and acclaim of the assembled multitude, Grand Admirable Hagstrom crossed the gangplank. Addressing the assembled crowd he told them of the accomplishments and purposes of the faith-ful crew. With; great solemnity and respect he bestowed on each sailor the high-est and noblest honor that could be given to a person who had successfully sailed the sea of Bethel.

As Leonard drove up to the flying field, who should be waiting for him but Marion Dahlberg, San-ford Ricker, Martha Peterson, Richard Harding, Amy Anlund, and Her-bert Kallman, all dressed in their "Sunday-go-to-meetin' " clothes, ready for the outing. Lillian Peterson at once took her seat next to the driver, Leonard Johnson. She was to collect the fares, for this was a pay-enter car, in case there were any Scotchmen on the trip. Frances Lodien, sitting on the right hand wing, was given a telephone and instructions to warn Leonard of any bumps or obstacles that we might meet. Paul Dahlen took his place on the other wing, for he was to record the events of the journey. Marjorie Hampton, playing the part of conductor, called "All aboard," and at last we were off. When we were about half way to Mercury, we ran into an awful rain storm ; and the plane got stuck in a mud-puddle on the Northern Star. We sent Paul out for aid, and wading knee deep in mud, he bumped into—guess who ?—Ebba Anderson driving a horse and buggy. Talk about luck ! He immediately jumped in beside her, and drove back to the plane. Soon the plane was able to navigate, and Ebba was among the fortunate passengers. We traveled without further delay until we reached Mercury. We all piled off and went to the nearest inn. Who do you. suppose was the innkeeper ? Rob-ert Marsh and his wife, Mable Morgan. I think we came at an embarrassing moment, for she was just running down the street after her eight children, with a broomstick in her hand. Mr. and Mrs. Marsh became members of the merry group, but the eight children were left behind to keep the inn. Some of the ladies just had to have their hair curled before they would go another inch, and so sought the nearest beauty parlor. Here they met Lydia Johnson busily engaged in manicuring Carl Egbert's finger-nails. Violet Heland-er, her assistant, was also engaged in marcelling Earl Underwood's curly locks. When Marjorie saw the whole tribe had gotten on board, she called "All aboard for Venus", and away we went. Frances telephoned to Leonard that a sign was ahead of them which read, "Palmist ! Fortunes Told." We all went in and here was Christopher Westlund, surrounded by all the blondes of the neighborhood. After having our fortunes told, we decided to visit the largest school' on the planet. Arriving at a late hour, we found the head-master, Roland Johnson, trying to drill into Arthur Hoffman's head, "Ich Liebe dich nicht ;" and that the subjunctive mood was not Greek as he formerly asserted. Our conductor gave her last call and everyone made for the plane, including our Deutsch friends and Mr. Westlund. His blondes begged to go along, but seeing Astrid Johanson, he escorted her to the plane. The plane sailed through the air, when bang ! she hit Mars. Extra ! Extra! Paul and Frances were still sitting on the wing. Everyone fairly tumbled out of the plane, and seeing no damage done„ decided to look the town over. At the end of a certain street stood a large mansion. We suddenly came to a halt, as a massive voice shook the streets. To our surprise, who should we see but Warren Ashur, trying to persuade his wife, Ruby Frisk, that it was time to return to earth. After dragging them along, we had no trouble in hailing a taxi, for here coming up the street was a taxi driver, and on closer observation, we noticed it was our old "gimme guy", Donald Tanquist. He first collected the fares, and then dragged us all to the cab. We tore down the street at a rate of sixty miles per hour, when suddenly we bumped into a fashionable lady sauntering across the avenue. At that critical moment a motorcycle cop, who had been chasing us Page 34 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 lb A Page 35 --.44 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 • MISS DAHLEN ANN ANDERSON BROR LUNDGREN - MARGARET BRANDT DELLA SKOGLUND - - - - - - - - Adviser - President - - - - - Vice-President - - - - - - Secretary - - - - - - - Treasurer o Page 37 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 O-f or the last three hundred miles, drove up, and pulled out his paper and pencil and began taking names. Just imagine our astonishment, when we recognized our law-abiding citizen, Russel Johnson, and the lady who at that moment was in a very embarrassing situation, was none other than Margaret Robertson. This added two to our passenger list, and kept us out of jail for the time being. A bright idea struck us, to visit the man in the moon. We climbed and climbed and climbed and then climbed some more. At last we reached the old moon, and knocked at the door. The door slowly opened and a voice said, "Who's th'e ?" We all shouted, "We've come to visit you." The door being completely opened, we recognized our Eastern Friend, Harold Genberg. He treated us to a cup of tea and we all started on our journey, including the man in the moon. Due to the fact there was too much "moonshine" around the moon, we started at a terrific speed towards Saturn. We reached there in good time to find Lettie Jorgenson doing the "splits" on the gym floor. Lettie told us of the largest gum factory on the planet, and we later discovered its owner to be Ruth Robertson. After coming out of the gum factory, we noticed a large crowd on a corner, and being curious, we joined them. Forcing our way to the front, we saw our friend May Berntson, preaching to the Saturnians in their native Latin tongue. Next we went to the largest scientific laboratory and found the notable scientist, Esther Kramer, propounding the incomprehensible theories of Einstein. Adding the acrobat, the gum chewer, the missionary and the scientist to our happy throng, we left for Uranus. Immediately upon arriving, we were met by a messenger boy bearing a radio-gram from Dorothy Dexter, stating that Pearle Rold was in a hospital on this planet. We hurried to the hospital and there found our friend on the operating table, almost ready for the operation. Margaret Lindblom, the nurse in attendance, was preparing the anaesthetic. We stayed for a week, in order to take the nurse and patient with us. Leonard next directed the plane towards the sun. As we drew near, the scorching rays burned Paul Dahlen's left ear. We radiographed ahead to the stns announcing our intentions of visiting it. A letter came back thanking us for our kind thoughts. To our surprise at the end of the note, we found the familiar signature, "Viola Wik." She also informed us that she was growing tired of her lofty position, was becoming sunburned, and wished to come back to earth with us. On the way to Neptune, we heard a shriek for help, and tossed down a rope. Pulling our burden up, we discovered to our surprise, Miss Nelson clinging to a hot water bag. She thanked us for preserving her much needed life. We then proceeded to Neptune. Just before we reached Neptune, Frances sighted two dangling forms on a parachute in the distance. We immediately hurried to their rescue. Just as we came under them they lost their hold and fell on the wing. They scrambled into the plane and we found them to be Martha Staricka and Pauline Dolence. Marion was the first to alight from the plane, for she had an engagement to sing a duet with Walter Watkin that evening. After supper, we all went to the church. We heard the familiar strains of the variations of "Nearer my God to Thee," as prelude. We recognized our ever faithful pianist, Evelyn Skooglun, who was always willing to help out in an emergency. Marion and Walter then sang "Goin' Home," with Evelyn as accompanist. At the end of the first verse, a great explosion shook the universe, and quicker than can be told, the whole planet had overturned and we thought ourselves lost. And then," said Ruth Weiser, sitting up and rubbing her eyes, "I found myself safe on the floor of my own bedroom." The Juniors know all this ; but it is too good a story to keep so we thought we'd pass it on to you. —We, Us and Company. Page 36 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 17'4- These TWO Tett The STORY OF The SOPHOMORES 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 Sophomore Prophecy A DEJECTED looking crow sat on a blackened stump in the fire-wasted wilderness. This skeleton gallery had once been covered with majestic forest trees of various kinds. Nestled 'neath thir towering branches had been the homes of simple country folk who lived in peace. The crow flapped its singed wings and flew away as an old wagon lumbered up the blackened road. Perched high on the seat were two men who turned round every now and then to share their conversation with two women who sat on trunks and boxes in the back of the wagon. "Paul, are you going back to your old job as taxi-driver ?" asked Aleck Ol-son as they rolled along to the railway station. "Yes, next week I'm leaving for Saint Paul. You know I have Elvera back. there, and Don Pfeifer and I are going into partnership in the taxi business. Elvera and I are going to live with Don and Hazel Clare until we can build our own little nest," answered Paul with a dreamy smile. "Don and Hazel Clare, did you say ?" ejaculated Aleck. "I thought it was Don and Eleanor Brubaker." "No, Eleanor married a Don all right but not Don Pfeifer." "Hadn't we better hurry ?" queried Edna from the rear. "'We might miss the train." "Don't worry, Edna," said her husband, Aleck ; "we'll get there in time. Mar-garet, why don't you come with us to New York ? You could do charity work." "I've thought it over quite seriously, Aleck," answered Margaret Brandt, "but I feel my work lies here. They need me." "Toot-toot !" whistled the train in the distance as they came to the station. Edna and Aleck settled down after the rush of getting on the train to enjoy their journey and dream of a happier future. Edna bought a magazine and as she turned the pages, two familiar faces came to view under the typical head-lines : "What I've Learned About Men" and "What I've Learned About Women." Ann Anderson and LeRoy Darner were still at it, now as professional writers. Aleck nodded and went to sleep. "Stop tickling that man's nose, Mary Jane !" Aleck woke with a sneeze as a group of noisy children filed past. "Aleck" whispered Edna, jerking his coat sleeve, "it's Blenda Nelson and Della Skoglund with sixteen children ! Who would have thought it !" It was Della and Blenda who were mothering these adopted orphans. "Well, Aleck, you did get the right twin after all !" laughed Della as they left. "Remember when you and Roy Hanson got mixed up going home from our Sophomore party and you took Elna ? Wonder if Roy is sure he has the right twin yet !" Aleck was now employed as business manager for Evelyn and Eunice Miller in their Miller Manufacturing Co., Makers of Muskrat Muffs, and was entirely at home in New York. Election day was drawing near with none other than Bror Lundgren running for mayor. As Edna and Aleck handed their names through the registration window, a curly head peered at them from behind the bars. It was Niel Nielson, now tak-ing life seriously with his wife Doris Martinson. "Aleck," said Edna as they were leaving after their conversation with Niel, "let's have lunch at Lois' Tea Shop. Niel said it was (just a block from here." Page 38 Pit -44 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 }Lk-- R e v . Lundgren sat in his private study pondering the subject for his Sunday sermon when his butler, Harold Funk, announced in a deep and solemn voice that Aleck Olson wished to see him. With his usual smile on his face, Aleck stepped into the study. "My clear old boy, how are you ?" questioned Roland. "When did you come to New York ? I hope you'll be my guest while here." "Thanks," Aleck responded, "but I have my own little apartment. Edna Danielson you know is my wife. As you probably read in the paper we had a big forest fire in northern Michigan and we lost our home. We heard about you from Niel Nielson today and I thought I'd come and talk to you about becoming a mem-ber of vour church." "That will be fine ! I'm more than glad to welcome you into the church. I'm sure you will be a blessing here. You come and see my secretary about that to-morrow. I know you'll be glad to hear I've secured such an efficient secretary as Eunice Bersell. Both she and Hilda Peterson sing at my church. Come in and see my wife and children, Aleck. You may not know my wife was also your classmate, Doris Eastlund." They entered a room where a beautiful woman was playing with two chil-dren. Doris looked up as they entered and a flash of delight spread over her face as she saw her husband's companion. "Welcome Aleck," she said in her musical voice and, turning to her husband, "You could not have brought a more welcome guest." After dinner the conversation centered about old Bethel friends. "Do you know that Claude Mahmoocl and Irene Johnson are in Europe on their honeymoon ?" asked Aleck. "I saw it in the Clarion a month ago." "Well who would ever have thought Claude would ever come to the conclu-sion that he needed a wife !" Roland jokingly remarked. "I saw in the Standaret that Beatrice Fredeen has been employed as Bursar at the Seminary." Doris put her lovely children to bed and said as she rejoined the two men, "I'll tell you something funny ! Last night when Roland was out on a call I felt lonesome for Minnesota so I tuned in on KSTP in St. Paul and I heard our two quiet friends, Harris and Fern Lindquist. They were giving a comical dialogue of somewhat the same type as Amos and Andy gave years ago." It was late and Aleck said farewell for the evening. He was in no mood for a street car now so he walked the twelve blocks to his apartment. He thought over the conversation in Roland's study. "Oh, Edna, I have so much to tell you. You remember Doris Eastlund ? She's Roland's wife. We are asked over for dinner Sunday." They sat talking before the fire ; the hour grew late. Silence charmed them into a reminiscent mood and they sat dreaming, seeing old scenes in the glow of the fire. Aleck leaned back and closed his eyes. Suddenly he began singing : "Old king Dunn was a merry old son, A merry old son was he." Aleck started another : "Three farmer kiddies ; see how they run, They all ran after the farmer's wife, 'Twas Ruth Bernston ; she leads a busy life With three farmer kiddies." He kept on : Dorothy Inman's husband, John, Went to bed with his stockings on, One shoe off and one shoe on, Dorothy Inman's husband, John." "Aleck," called Edna, "do you know what you have been doing ?" "No," replied Aleck as he rubbed his eyes. She told him and he enjoyed a hearty laugh. "Doris was singing nursery rhymes to the children this afternoon," said Aleck ; "I have the whole thing jumbled in my dreams. Oh, it was funny !" "It surely has been a full, happy day," said Edna as she yawned sleepily.

The sight of the old building and rooms has brought old memories and re-cent experiences together so vividly that I simply had to write to share them with you. Do you remember how we used to sigh as we climbed stairs day after day in the old school ? No more do teachers and pupils on second and third floors look weary—for Magnuson, Pheifer and Bowman have just installed their new self-start and easy stop elevator there. I never thot such a tall, athletic crea-ture as Loyd would think of an elevator, but he says he planned this—in secret —throughout his school years. I mentioned Leonard Ostrom at the beginning of my letter. He has be-come a second Lindbergh, and his plane, the "Spirit of Cokato", is almost as famous as "Lindy's" famous plane. And another thing I must tell you. Would you believe that Kenneth Lar-son is now running the Como-Bethel bus. He charges Bethel students five cents a week and makes a trip every two hours, from ten to two, but every fifteen minutes before eight. They say, that no one is ever late to the first class any more. Then, too, frozen noses and fingers are almost unknown during the win-ter. You used to be very much interested in the Bethel Glee Club. It is a fine bunch and it is progressing wonderfully. Prof. Louis Dahlman is the able as-sistant director. He is also. a great soloist, playing his own accompaniment on his "Spanish American" guitar. When I went downtown the other day, I walked by the nicest little bakery. I went in thinking I would like to have some pastry. And who do you suppose had charge of it ? Florence Robertson, Gertrude Wage, and Hazel Selin. They are having wonderful results from their domestic science kitchen which threatens to put Zinsmaster out of business. Oh yes ! I must tell you about the get-together we had. It seemed just like a family reunion to see all our old classmates, and the best of it was that none of us were so distant as to find it impossible to attend. You know Loran Larson has a summer resort at Centerville. I think it was so nice of him to in-vite us there for our outing. He certainly has a beautiful resort and three weeks of every year it is reserved for Bethel students. Who do you suppose was the first person I met when I arrived at Center-ville ? It was Howard Burke. Just think, Phyllis, he is pastor of the big church at Centerville. Howard is certainly boosting for Bethel, for so many that attend there now say that they were influenced to come by him. Have you been reading the newspapers lately ? I noticed Marian Alden, Sen-ator, and her two secretaries, Helen Anderson and Alice Bursten have left Wash-ington for an extended tour. They were not able to spend very many hours at our reunion because of the pressing duties that awaited them. I surely hope they will enjoy themselves. Page 42 l'age .13 G1 1929 BETHANNUAL 19290 - - It is surprising how many are still enjoying single blessedness. Harold Lind-quist thought otherwise, for we had the privilege of meeting his blushing bride at Centerville. He is now president of the Sagging Spring Company. Theodore Anderson has become very famous for his paintings. He is sign painter for the Bigelow Advertising Co. I have seen ever so many of his works by the roadside and I am sure you have too. I think the National Geographical Magazine is great, don't you ? Dorothea Tanquist is the editor. You mustn't forget to read her article on Assam in the last number- I had a letter from Violet Swan the other day. She writes seldom, but you know she always was a busy creature anyway. She is a "second" Burbank and has just perfected an eyeless potato and a rose bush minus the thorns. Bertha Bergquist is now Head Surgeon of the National Elementary Kinder-garten Clinic of Chicago. The little folk don't mind anything she prescribes. She charms them with her smiles. Alice Brown is a designer of a uniform for students which has been ap-proved by all Bethel authorities. They say it is popular with the students too. I found that Clarice Johnson and Amy Lambert are running a photograph gallery, having as their specialty, a screen guaranteed to beautify all posers. Wonderful, if true. Pauline Steinly is the physical director in a law school for women in Minne-polis. One day not long ago I had a call from Clifton, Ariz. I did not know who it could be and imagine my surprise when I heard the voice of Lillian Nelson. She is enjoying her work very much as a principal at the Deaf and Dumb insti-tution there. Have you any tin soldiers that need attention ? If so be sure to let Gladys Dalbey know about it. She is night supervisor at a hospital for dilapidated dolls and tin soldiers on Como ave. near Snelling. Did you know that Robert Ashback is a star pitcher on the University team ? Babe Ruth will have to look out for his laurels. You remember our friend Joe Snyder ? He is now assistant judge in the Juvenile court. I'm sure lie is a good one. Did you know that Clifford Knutson is campaigning for lieutenant gover-nor ? Let's boost for him all we can. In a recent magazine I read an article by -Wm. Erickson, who is teaching Swedish and Italian in Canada. Isn't that interesting ? I also heard that our friend Repel Weislander is farming a nine acre plot in Florida. As a sideline he is writing humorous essays. He has written several volumes ; three are in my possession. You must read them and if you so desire I will lend you mine. Well Phyllis, I have told you all the news of our happy school days and my long letter must come to an end. Affectionately, Gwyne Green Page 44 Twenty-eighth Congo Mission Conference, A. B. F. M. S.

After studying voice with Mr. Hultgren for two years, she decided this year to take the regular diploma course offered by the Music Department of Bethel Institute. She is a member of the Walther League Chorus. Mr. George Hultgren, director of the Music De-partment, has given private lessons in voice culture, in addition to directing the large Mixed Chorus, the Men's Glee Club, and the A Capella Chorus. Mr. A. H. Oberg, Piano Department, has had sixty-six pupils studying Piano and Harmony at the studios on Payne Avenue and at Bethel Academy. A new feature of the Piano Department this year has been the introduction of class lessons for younger pu-pils. This method offers a means for all children to acquire capacity for self-expression in music ; it brings forth latent talent, which may later be developed in private instruction. Mr. Adolph M. Olsen, Violin Department, has met pupils once a week in the Bethel Academy Studio. A GROUP OF PROFESSOR FIULTGREN'S VOCAL PUPILS 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929} 3 4--- The Glee Club pRINCE GUSTAV made his name immortal in the lives of students when he wrote "Student Sangen." Our hearts leap in response to songs that so touch the true life of the student and his happy days. Among other songs you will hear "We're All Jolly Fellows, and We Like Good Times, Our Hearts are Full of Joy," which is a song in our own tongue that lives in our memories as cherished days at school. Especially as spring comes you will hear the Glee Club in its high spirit of youth singing that beloved song "Skona Maj." It is doubtful if this song has ever been omitted on the spring programs, for it is everywhere loved. Indeed, the program would be incomplete without it. The Glee Club consists of a group of twenty-three young men from the student body of the Academy and Seminary and is directed by our able leader Prof. Geo. Hultgren, assisted by Alphin Conrad. Each spring some tours are made through various states, when, concerts are given in the churches. This spring the Club went to the North and South Isanti Churches, Cam-bridge, and Stanchfield. Two concerts were held in the Twin Cities, at Bethany, St. Paul, and First Swedish Baptist of Minneapolis. An extensive tour was made in May to Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. It is with joy that the boys look forward to the many opportunities to sing the praises of God. The club goes out with the express purpose of glorifying Christ and with the prayer that their own lives may reflect Him. And then too an untold amount of good is accomplished in bringing the churches in closer con-tact with the school.

Its suc-cess this year is due to the work of the director, Miss Dahlen. An Orchestra is a great benefit to both the members and the school as a whole. The members gain valuable musical knowledge which cannot be gotten in any other way. It serves and aids the school as it represents Bethel wherever it makes appearances. With this view in mind, let us hope that Bethel will be rep-resented each year by an orchestra. The A Capella Chorus The A Capella Chorus consists of selected members of the big student chorus.

The Public Speaking Class THE work of developing the speaker consists first of all in developing his power of personality. The power of at once commanding every feeling, every emotion, every conviction of his nature ; the power of instant control over all the forces of his being, demands the highest development of per-sonality. Vocal expression as a phase of artistic endeavor implies cause, means, and effect. The cause is in the mind. It must be awakened. The means, that is, voice and body, must be rightly attuned so as immediately to respond to the ac-tions or conditions of the mind. The effect produced by the cause and the means is the expression of oneself. All expression must come from within outward. (The above is culled from the works of Dr. S. S. Curry whose methods are followed and whose text books are used at Bethel). " 'Give me a standing-place,' said Archimedes, and I will move the world,' but it was the immortal Goethe who changed the postulate into the precept— `Make good thy standing-place, and move the world !' " At Bethel we are taught to make firm a good standing-place. The Christian teachers and the Christian at-mosphere at Bethel lead to the development of a good, strong, personality, and it is a great personality that moves the world to do great things. Bethel affords ample opportunities for the development of the art of expres-sion. Under the direction of our efficient instructors we are taught the essentials of oral and written expression and given practice in public speaking. The litera-ry societies, the inter-academic contests, and other occasions give further oppor-tunity for advancement in this art. Page 5o --41 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 1P,4-- The Student Council THE Student Council is ail organization of Bethel Academy the purpose of which is to give the students an opportunity to assist in governing the school. Every spring the Freshman and Sophomore classes each choose two members, and the Junior class, three members, to represent them in the Student Council the following year. The next fall the in-coming Freshman Class selects a member. When in the course of affairs, important matters arise which call for a voice from the students, the Student Council is called together. After considering these problems, they report to the faculty the course which they consider best to pur-sue. In this way the students take an actual part in governing the life and activ-ities of our school. The members of the Student Council have a great oppor-tunity to assist in holding high the standards and ideals which Bethel has thus far upheld.

The students look forward to each issue. The news of the respective classes is probably read first. Then interesting announcements and news items, then perhaps the jokes are read (if they were not read first). Some turn to the sports section first. In addition to the matter already mentioned, the Clarion contains reports of the various organizations, the best themes written by the students in the English classes, and an article by one of the members of the Faculty. There is a devo-tional column in which one or more articles of a devotional nature appear, and there is one or more editorials, and last but not least a message from our president, Dr. Hagstrom. The members of the Staff enjoy their work in the publication of the paper. Besides affording enjoyment, the work gives the students experience which is very much worth while. The Clarion is a means of informing the students' home folks, and friends of the school concerning activities at Bethel.

DEBATING TEAMS The Alpha Beta Literary Society OCCUPYING a leading place among, the student activities of Bethel Acad-emy is the Alpha Beta Literary Society. This society has a full program each year in sponsoring many activities which are both interesting and beneficial to the student. The society aims to cultivate leadership, develop the talents of each student, and create higher ideals in the choice of literature, music, and other forms of recreation and amusements, and emphasizes a higher standard of social life. . Students have shown great interest in the activities of the year by taking part in the various programs as well as loyally supporting the school in the inter-school contests in declamatory, oratory, and debate, which are made possible by our membership in the Inter-Academic Forensic League. By participating in the school and inter-school programs the students are given training which en-ablesi them to go before the public and enter various forms of Christian ministry. The mind of the student is broadened by hearing lectures on eminent men of letters, great statesmen, and popular topics of the day. The extemporaneous speeches and programs afford the student an opportunity to show what he can do when called upon at a moment's notice. ,.Regular meetings are held every other week on Saturday evening and are followed by a social hour in which the students have the opportunity to get bet-ter acquainted, learn to meet people, and make friends.

Be-sides exalting the name of God, it has for its aim to create and stimulate interest in the Swedish language and literature. Students of Swedish de-scent should be able to speak Swedish and know something about the native land of their parents. They should consider it a great honor to be able to speak Swedish, their mother tongue. In order to understand and fully appreciate Swed-ish literature and culture, it is necessary to master the language. The Svea Society holds several meetings each semester which are conducted in the Swedish language. At one of these this year we were privileged to listen to Prof. Adolf Olson give us a lecture on his recent trip to Sweden. The Svea Society also holds an annual declamatory contest. The winners this year were Astrid Johnson, first place, and Olga •Anderson, second place. Great interest for learning the Swedish language has been shown by the stu-dents this year. As a result greater interest has been shown in our Svea Society and the meetings have been well attended. In the meetings the students may put in practice the Swedish they have learned.

Every girl enrolled in the school is considered a member. The society purposes to meet as often as possible. Most of our girls work in homes, so these meetings are times of happy, social fellowship where the girls gather and learn to know each other better. Our first meeting was held October 2, 1928. About sixty of the girls gath-ered in the chapel which was arranged to look "homelike." Miss Esther Nelson, who has spent five years teaching in Burma, gave a very interesting talk about her work with the children there. Dona Miller and Miss Dahlen gave instrumental selections, and other girls gave special messages in song. The gatherings are always enjoyed by the girls. The Missionary Band Bethel Academy is well known as a school where Christian influence is pre-dominant. The moral standards and the spiritual atmosphere of the school attract from far and wide many splendid Christian young people. It is therefore essen-tial to the welfare of the school that the Christian atmosphere of the school as well as the spiritual life of the students be maintained and jealously guarded. In order to meet this requirement a definite program is necessary. In order to help in the carrying out of this program a religious organization exists among the stu-dents known as the Missionary Band. The Missionary Band, though perhaps not the most prominent, is by no means the least important organization in the school. As we look back over the past year, although we cannot count great strides of progress, we find that the organization has been of great help to us. It is important that Christian young people, whether preparing for active service or not, should be given an opportunity to engage in active Christian work. In order to meet this need of the young people of our own, school to some extent, the Missionary Band has sponsored meetings in Old People's Homes, Missions, and churches. At these meetings students have been afforded opportunities to bring messages or personal testimonies, or in other ways to partake in Christian service. In this way an interest in Christian work has been developed in the student. The safeguarding of the spiritual life of the student is the most important function of the Missionary Band. In order to help the student in his spiritual life, morning and evening prayer-meetings, held in the school and conducted by the students, are sponsored by this organization. During this year, for the sake of developing the spiritual life of the students and in order to help maintain the Christian atmosphere of the school, it was de-cided to hold monthly meetings on Sunday afternoons for the students in the Academy chapel. At these meetigs prominent speakers have been secured, who have brought splendid uplifting messages. Through these meetings an uncon-scious deepening of the spiritual life has ensued.

The Ministerial Students THE ministerial students are the students in the Academy who have heard Christ's call to preach His Gospel and who are preparing themselves for this high calling. Nearly all of them are planning to enter Bethel Semi-nary when they finish the Academy. The years spent in the Academy give the Ministerial student a good founda-tion for his Seminary work. He is better prepared for the Seminary course than other students who come directly to the Seminary as he has been under the in-fluence of the Seminary and knows its life. Some of the ministerial students have the opportunity to preach regularly in churches. The ministerial students with the Missionary Training students of the Sem-inary conduct meetings each Saturday night at the West Side Gospel Mission. These meetings are mainly for children and are very much worthwhile as chil-dren are reached with the Gospel message who might not otherwise come under its influence. Meetings are also conductd at the Union Gospel Mission.

The Student Volunteers HE cry of the man of Macedonia echoes down through the ages from heath-en lands and nations. From our countrymen we hear the cry and see the need for help from Him who alone can save a sin-sick soul. But "how shall they hear without a preacher and how shall they preach except they be sent ?" "As the Father sent me, so send I you." It may be at home or abroad ; we know not where our Master will send us, but we are now preparing ourselves to better serve Him. And while we prepare we are in actual service, conducting gospel meetings in missions, boarding houses, and churches, trying to win souls into His kingdom, praying always that He might live, not only in us but through us. We have been "commissioned." Out from the realm of the glory light Into the far-away land of night, Out from the bliss of worshipful song Into the pain of hatred and wrong. Out from the holy rapture- above Into the grief of rejected love, Out from the life at the Father's side Into the death of the crucified, Out of high honor and into shame The Master willingly, gladly came ; And now since He may not suffer anew, As tfie Father sent Him so sendeth He you. —H.

As she lay on her death-bed, her heart was still in foreign missions, and when she realiz-ed that she could not go and felt the matter was very urgent, she said, "Send three in my place." It was because the faculty and students desired to have a part in continuing the work so well begun by Olivia Johnson, that the movement in her memory was organized. Two or more meetings are held each year, in which special mis-sionary programs are rendered, and money is raised for the cause. Those who give a dollar or more a year are considered contributing members of the move-ment. The Bethel Academy Alumni Association OFFICERS REV. ARTHUR ELLISON - MARVIN SAMUELSON EDITH LARSON REUBEN TANQUIST - - President _ - Vice-President - Corresponding Secretary _ - - Treasurer BETHEL ALUMNI IN FOREIGN WORK By Professor Walf red Danielson, '10 Bethel Academy is still in her youth, only twenty-four years old. During this short lifetime the school has sent forth twenty-four of her graduates to direct mission service, one for each year of her existence. Bethel's alumni are today found in many lands beyond our home borders,—Africa, China, India, Mexico, and the Philippine Islands. Besides, we have representatives among American Indians and foreign groups in America. Distributed geographically the twenty-four locate as follows : India ten, Africa six, China four, Philippine Islands one, Mexico one, among the Crow Indians one, with the Chinese in California one. That Bethel is a broadening force in the- lives of her students, not a nar-rowing or stereotyping influence, is effectively demonstrated in the wide range of professions and producing activities in which alumni are found in the home land. The same tendency is observed among her foreign representatives. The three main departments of missionary endeavor,—Evangelism, Medical work, and Education—have a normal representation of Bethelites. • Graduating classes have contributed as follows to the foreign group : Class of '21 leads with five missionaries ; '10 and '17 have three apiece ; '13, '15, '16, and '23 have each sent two ; '11, '18, '22, '24, and '25 claim one each. The Vol-unteers of '26, '27, '28, and '29 are still in this country and are not reported among the twenty-four. Judging from the membership and activities of the Volunteer group now in training, the average of one for each year will be raised considerably. Referring to the Bethel missionaries by country more specifically, we notice that there is an increasing competition in numbers between Africa and India. Page 58 Page 59 n • U ---04 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 0-- Of late our nurses seem to move in the direction of the Congo, though some take to revolutionary China. Airs. M. S. Engwall ("Ruth", '17) writes very interestingly about evangelism in the Congo. Judging by the photographs of the family the Congo is a health resort ! Alice Jorgenson '21 and Esther Ehnbom '25 of the Congo have evidently taken a liking to their African homes for their letters reflect real optimism. By this time Emily Satterberg must be nearing her Congo destination also, for she left France en route not long ago. And Edith C. Anderson '21 will be Bethel's first representative in Abyssinia ! She sailed in April of this year. China's revolutions have not succeeded in frightening the Bethelites. In fact before the guns had ceased firing, we understand, Esther Nelson '16 made her way back through the wilds into West China. Dr. Rudolph L. Crook '13 also returned to West China last fall, to take up the management of the hospital which he had helped to build. Minnie Carlson '23 is reported as a Shanghai resident. Margaret Ahlquist '17, now in St. Paul, returned from the Tibetan border of -West China last year. In the group that went to India, Albert Dahlby '10 was one of the first. The fact that he was compelled to return to America because of illness in the family has not made him a less ardent missionary. Just visit Kansas City and you will hear about missions ! Dr. J. A. Ahlquist '11 and his helpmate Judith '10 are developing a medical work in Assam for which the mission has been waiting for decades. Dr. Ahlquist is becoming renowned as an eye specialist in Assam. He has performed hundreds of eye operations in the last few years, and with marked success. Bengt Anderson '21 has recently been designated to the evangelistic work among the great Sema Naga hill tribe in Assam. He is their first missionary. Similarly August Berg '21 finds himself among a people in Bengal-Orissa, the Santali hill tribe, as the first Baptist missionary. Walfred Danielson '10 and Anna '17 are returning to Assam this year. Frank Rehnstrom '15 is reported to be in Sweden, on furlough, expecting to return to his evangelistic field in Gerakhpur, India. Victor Hugo Sword '15 and Cora '16 landed in Assam once more a year ago, and they are now occupying the his-toric location of Sibsagar in Assam as evangelistic missionaries. Olivia Johnson '13, our first Bethelite foreign missionary, laid permanent foundations in the Philippine Fsland work with which she was connected. Fruits of her labor are beginning to show forth, even in Philippino students who come to Bethel to study. Elsie Wik '23 finds the Mexican rebels rather annoying, for their bullets rain around her school. The Associated Press reports her opinions on the rev-olution as worth front page display in the dailies. Lilfa White '24 believes that the Chinese of California should not be de-prived of the Gospel message. She is a foreign missionary on the home soil. Hanna Wiggman '22 comes to St. Paul occasionally so we know more about the evangelizing of the true Americans, the Indians, than we (lid before Miss Wiggman entered the Crow tribe. Of the twenty-four missionaries mentioned we have lost by death two, Olivia Johnson '13 and Mrs. E. H. Morrisli (Hilda Lund '18). Hilda's work had just begun, but we believe that even the beginning will bear fruit. Page Go -441929 BETHANNUAL 1929 The Bethel Academy Association THE Bethel Academy Athletic Association is composed of all the students of Bethel Academy. An athletic board consisting of four students and the two faculty members who direct boys' and girls' athletics respectively, manage the activities of the association. One or two all-athletic banquets are held under the auspices of the Athletic Association each year. At the banquet held in the spring, letters and sweaters are awarded to the students who have earned them. This year the Athletic Board had the privilege, with the Faculty, of award-ing a cup to Glenn Campbell, the best all-around athlete in the school. The cup, called the "Wohlford Cup", was donated by Paul Wohlford, a graduate in the class of '28. Air. Wohlford's purpose in giving the cup was to encourage ath-letics at Bethel while at the same time emphasizing the importance of scholarship and character. Air. Wohlford will give a cup each year to the best all-around athlete. According to the rules given by Mr. Wohlford governing the awarding of the cup, the athlete to be eligible must get a letter in at least two major sports, one of which must be either footfall or basket-ball. The cup is awarded on the basis of athletic ability, leadership in athletics, sportsmanship, studies, and char-acter.

Basket-Ball B ASKET-BALL at Bethel has always been a major sport, and this year was no exception to the rule. The team was a fast five. Though the season began with only one letter man from last year's team, the new material very quickly worked up to a splendid squad. Their good playing and fast team-work was a result of the fine coaching; of Frank Moulton. Coach Moulton being an all around athlete freely imparted his basket-ball wisdom to the Bethel team. The boys were willing to follow out instructions. This was, indeed, shown in the way they played through the games. Each of the individual players trained hard, and between them was a real spirit of brotherly sportsmanship. They knew their positions and played them very well. Bethel proved to be a strong contender for the Twin City Academic Basket-ball Cup. Our quintet was in the play-off of a three way tie between Concordia, Augsburg andi Bethel. In the first of this series Bethel lost to Concordia. After a hard fought game the score ended 26 to 24. Graduating with the Senior Class will go four of the players : Bill Backlund, captain of this year's team, Elmer Kallman, Art Gammond and Glenn Camp , bell. But from the second team we can hope to find some able men to take their places. We commend the Bethel team for their clean playing, and for the fine man-ner in which they represented our school. Page 62 -.0.4 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 COACH MOULTON certainly did some fine work with our team this year. The boys enjoyed his method of coaching ; and because of his fine personality, and high ideals of sportsmanship it was very easy to follow out his advice. Bethel is sorry that Mr. Moulton cannot be with the school next year. The basket-ball men and the students wish him success in his future wrok. • COACH FRANK MOULTON The 1929 Basket-Ball Season Games played Field Goals Free Throws Total Points Personal Fouls Magnuson 16 74 3 151 21 H.

He worked hard for a winning team and his labors were not in vain. As a member of the team, he was a fit man for his position. Though in weight Bill just about tipped the 200 mark, he was as spry and agile as a fairy. Bill is one of the members of the team that grad-uates this year. We will miss you, Captain. ARTHUR GAMMOND (Center) "Art" Art already had such a start on the other fellow on account of his height that many of his oppon-ents didn't even try to jump against him. Art played a good game and was absolutely dead on his foul shots. • Bethel loses a very good man in him as he is graduating this year. ELMER KALLMAN ( Running Guard) "Eim," Elmer was the thorn in the flesh of many an opponent for they very seldom got by him. His speed and accuracy on long shots saved many a game for Bethel's quint. Elmer also leaves his berth for someone else to fill next year. LLOYD MAGNUSON ( Forward) Maggy is only a freshmen yet, but many a vis-iting team wondered if he hadn't made a mistake in coming to Bethel thinking it was a college. Maggy has the eye necessary for good shooting and will be a wonderful asset to next year's team. 4 1929 BETHANNUAL 1929 }r5- GLENN CAMPBELL ( Rear Guard) "Glenn" Glenn traded positions with Bill whenever it looked as though Bill was weakening, and his agility in jumping to block a shot, together with his ability to be everywhere at once kept opposing teams from many scores. Glenn is another one who will be missed on next year's team. HERBERT KALLMAN (Forward) "Herbie" Herbie, though small of stature, makes up for it in his speed. Many were his opponents who wondered where he was, only to find that he had slipped through a hole and had sunk a basket. He will be back to fill his position next year. PAUL DAHLEN (Forward) "Paul" Paul did not hold a regular berth on the team, but he helped to win many a game by his thorough knowledge of every play when he was put into the fray to take another player's place. He will be back again next year to help Bethel win the championship. THEODORE TUPA (Manager) "Tupe" Tupe surely knows his business as a manager. Anyone who can get his team together for a game with less than a half hour's notice, surely deserves credit as a manager. He called the team his minute men.

The Second Basket-Ball Team THIS has been the first year that Bethel has had a regular second basket-ball team. The purpose in organizing the second team was to give more fellows an opportunity to participate in a regular basket-ball team ; and then it has been an agency through which new players might be trained for the first team. As in previous years several of the first team will graduate, thereby leaving a vacancy that will now be ably filled by members of the second team. The boys of this basket-ball team deserve much credit for their splendid ability in winning four out of the six games played. As all Bethel teams, the sportsmanship and the team cooperation of the second squad has been up to our high standard. Bethel is hoping that next year another second team will make its appearance on the floor as a winning quintet. The men who played on this year's second team are as follows : Herbert Kallman ; Paul A. Dahlen ; Harold Genberg ; Harold Lindquist ; Richard Bowman ; Le Roy Damar ; Arthur Hoff-man ; and Harry Berg. • The first seven are letter man.

Girls' Athletics M ORE attention has been paid to girls' athletics this year than in any of the previous years. The girls have met every Wednesday, and sometimes on Thursdays too. for practice in volley-ball or basket-ball. Miss Dahlen, our able instructor, has also been giving posture tests. There were about twenty-five girls in the gym class, and they have always reported a good time. They have also appreciated the physical benefits which have been offered them. The first part of the school year was devoted mostly to volley-ball. It seem-ed rather hard at first to get the ball over the net, but after some instruction and practice it did not take very long before the ball went easily back and forth over the net without stopping. A volley-ball team was selected. The members of the team were : Dona Miller, Dorothea Tanquist, Gertrude Wage, Florence Hedlund, Deborah John-son, and Ruth I. Johnson. After having played volley-ball for some time, attention was paid to basket-ball. Miss Dahlen is an excellent instructor ;. therefore the girls soon learned the rules, and a first and second team in basket-ii-all were selected. The members of the first teal n were : Martha Peterson, center ; Dona Miller and Lois Hanson, forwards; Deborah Johnson, Dorothy Inman, and Ruth I. Johnson, guards. The members of the second team were : Linnea Palmquist, Ruth Weiser, and Doris Martenson, forwards ; Frances Lodien, Dorothea Tanquist, and Clarice Johnson, guards. • Our team did very good work. Games were played with Macalester College, Mounds Park, Y. W. C. A., and the Alumni . The first game was played with Macalester on their floor. The second, third and fourth games were played on our own floor. The presence of a good crowd at each of these games was evidence of much interest in girls' basket-ball.

Football FOOTBALL is catalogued in the minds of people as a "he man's game ;'' so it is, and Bethel has had just such men that were able to form an eleven that claimed victory after victory. We were fortunate in having a lot of weight in the line of defense. It was very seldom that an opponent was able to break through Bethel's solid wall. Some of the squad were especially gifted with a toe kick that sent the pig skin a mighty long distance through the air. Good forward passing is in a class all by itself, but the fine arts of this method of play were mastered by the red and whites. Some very thrilling games were staged on our own field, and our hope is that the next year's team will keep up the good record set by the team of 1929. Much credit is due to the splendid coaching of Alphin Conrad. The science of the game both in theory and practice was given to the team, and they carried their coaching through every game. Baseball and Track Very much interest is being manifested in the baseball team this year. A large number of recruits came out at the first call for players. Every day, the weather permitting, the baseball diamond sees the uniformed Bethel team going through some practice games. Many trophies have been won by the Bethel track team, and this year hopes to add another to our trophy case. Though track season is short, it is one of the healthful sports that the Bethel boys enjoy. Page 68 .) t--ii_. i'ril%:. ••r,..a..v.i...i..i1. l6i tI iIi g--i.Iii i .

HE OBJECTED Glenn : "twine to run a railroad through my barn ?" Surveyor : "I don't see how we can avoid it." Glenn : "Waal, now, boss, I reckon I got suthin to say about this. I got suthin else to do besides runnin' in and out to open the doors of that there barn every time a train goes through." Clarice : "I want a pair of spec-rimmed hornicles. No, I mean heck-rimmed spornacles." Floor walker : "I know what You mean, madam. Mr. Lee, show this lady some rim-spornecl rectacles." THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE FOR Paul: "Pardon me for walking on your feet." Asher : "Oh, that's all right ; I walk on 'em myself." The ladder of life is full of splinters but they always prick the hardest when we're sliding down. —Brownell. Isn't it funny that princess and kings And clowns who caper in saw-dust rings And simple folks like you and me Are builders for eternity ? To each one is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and a set of rules And each must make ere life is done A stumbling block or a stepping stone. —Y. P. Echoes. SOLD AGAIN Bror (afraid she will order the second plate) : "Did you know that they make ice cream of gluecose, gelatine, corn starch, castor oil, skimmed milk, oleo-margarine, cayenne pepper and strychnine ?" Ann (licking out the dish) : "No, I didn't know that, but I've noticed they are so stingy in filling their dishes that one has to eat two plates in order to get enough." IN GRAMMAR CLASS Mrs.Swedberg : "Lloyd, name a collective noun." Lloyd M.: "Fly paper." A FOWL CACKLE-ATION. Young Chick : "Marna, why do you scratch with one foot and then with the other, and don't look down until you get through ?" Old Hen (bought in Boston) : "Because, my dear offspring, if I were to excavate the soil with both my pedal extremeties simultaneously, and direct my organs of vision on the ground at the same time, I would lose my equilibrium and present the undignified spectacle of balancing myself on my cranium without any visible means of support."
