| Transcript | The 1939 Spire Published by The Student Body of Bethel Institute ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA Contents foreword SCHOLARSHIP Classes Junior College Seminary Christian Workers' Course LEADERSHIP Activities Forensics Clubs Christian Work Music Journalism Athletics FELLOWSHIP Features Editor-in-Chief - - KARL E. KARLSON Business Manager - FRANCIS MCOLASH Our fathers came to America on ships, the founder of our school had once been a ship's officer, and now Bethel is "sailing on" in greater growth and activity. With such thoughts in mind we present "Scholarship," "Leadership," and "Fellowship" on the pages of the 1939 Spire. We present here a record of college life as it is found on Bethel's campus. The dignified graduate, the conscientious freshman, the somber student, and the carefree athlete have all been included in our effort to portray all phases of school life. If we have succeeded in making the book one which sets forth Bethel's spirit of growth and activity, the purpose of the 1939 Spire will be fulfilled. DR. EDGREN DR. HAGSTROM Dedication Faculty, students, and other friends of Bethel throughout the land joined together in many places this year to honor the occasion of the one-hundredth birthday of the late John Alexis Edgren, the founder of the school. The entire Swedish Baptist General Conference has paid tribute to the memory of the pioneer who made possible the organization and development of Bethel. To the memory of Dr. Edgren and to the prin-ciples for which he so earnestly adhered, we sincerely dedicate the 1939 Spire. our President The year 1939 is outstanding in the history of our school not only because it is the anniversary of the founder of our school, but also because it is the twenty-fifth anniversary of Dr. Hagstrom's presidency of Bethel Institute. We are deeply grateful for his many years of service, and we pray that he may be with us for many years to come as instructor, guide, and friend. Page Seven Page Six Faculty faculty Alfred J.

The Graduating Classes The 1939 graduating class of Bethel Junior College had as its officers: Truman Halvorsen, President ; Wyman Hanson, Vice President; Ruth Olson, Secretary; and Delbert Kuehl, Treasurer. With these students as leaders, the class, under the faculty supervision of Prof. C. E. Carlson, has sponsored various activities including a toboggan party and a Sophomore Day, on which occasion the members of the class temporarily disposed of their solemnity and noisily broke balloons. We congratulate the graduates, and wish them a successful and a happy future. Organizing three years ago under the name of "Hudor Ballos," this year's Seminary Seniors have manifested unusual solidarity and camaraderie as a class. The name "Hudor Ballo," though seemingly mystic, is derived from Greek and has a very suggestive mean-ing. With squirt guns as their symbol of membership, "Hudor Ballos" are, translated into English, "water throwers." Having with dignity laid aside their watery weapons, this group has evolved into our present body of illustrious seniors. Charter members of the organization are: Edward Nelson, Maurice Wessman, Clifford Dickau, Wilbur Sorley, Gordon Anderson, Harold Wilson, Richard Werner, and Carl Young.

The freshman Class The Freshman Class organized at the beginning of the year with Glenn Anderson, President; Karl Karlson, Vice President; Elaine Youngquist, Secretary; and Runo Palm-quist, Treasurer. When the cold weather and snow arrived, the first social gathering of the class was held in the form of a toboggan party. As spring approached the freshmen were familiar enough with college life to present "School Days,'' a program of hilarious entertainment. The climax of the year's activities was the annual J. S. Banquet, presented by the freshmen in honor of the graduating class. The banquet was held in the "Spanish Room" of the Hotel Lowry, which provided the correct background for the occasion. Christian Workers' Course Those graduating from the Christian Workers' Course are Bernice Anderscn, Helen Bergfalk, Annabelle Sherman, and Olga Shenning, who is receiving a diploma.

Alvera Johnson, Joyce Johnson, George Darry, Herschel Rogers, and Robert Peterson entered the Forensic Tournament at Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where they met competition from four-year col-leges. Bethel placed third in this contest, with Joyce Johnson placing first in Poetry Reading, Herschel Rogers second in Orig-inal Oratory, Alvera Johnson third in Dra-matic Declamatory, Robert Peterson third in Humorous Declamatory, and George Darry fourth in Learned Oratory. Page Twenty-one Oratory Eighteen students entered into competi-tion for oratorical honors in the contest sponsored by the College Club. The follow-ing were declared winners : Herschel Rogers, first; Joyce Johnson, second; and Arthur Slaikeu, third. Bethel was also represented by Herschel Rogers in the S. M. J.

Student Council The governing committee of the student body, the Student Council, with G. Archer Weniger as President, Wyman Hanson as Vice President, and Grace Widen as Secretary, functioned under Faculty Advisor C. E. Carlson. The group sponsored the - Get Ac-quainted- party at the opening of the school year and was active in the purchase of th,2 new Gospel Team Bus. Because of the fact that the Council is composed of representa-tives from all departments of the school, it is probably the most influential organiza-tion at Bethel. Debate The debate teams, instructed by Miss Platts, spent many long, hard hours in work on the Pi Kappa Delta question, Resolved: That the United States should cease to use Public Funds (including credit) for the purpose of Stimulating Business. The teams met St. Thomas College, Iowa State Teachers College, and Macalester College in no-decision debates.

The gospel teams and the stu-dent pastors represent a large part of a very important activity of the school, that of Christian service. Each of the gospel teams have had meetings almost every week during the school year in places where people are in need of their message. The student pastors go out to their respective churches for the week-ends, bring-ing the Gospel to communities that cannot support full-time pas-tors. STUDENT PASTORS Third Row: M. Wessman, C.

MALE QUARTET Gordon Peterson, Ned Holmgren, John Valine, Virgil Olson. •,; a The Clarion and the spire Twice each month during the school year the Clarion, our school paper, is published by an enthusiastic staff of journalists headed by their chief, J. Gordon Peterson. Usually quite calm and peaceful, the Clarion office becomes a miniature hurricane as a deadline approaches. However, none of this "mixup' is portrayed in the paper, a publication of which the staff can readily be proud. "Did any one see Otto ? Where's Runo ?" Karl Karlson, the editor-in-chief, is heard shouting as other members of the Spire staff enter the room. The staff is particu-larly busy during the last few weeks of the school year bringing together all the facts and pictures which make up the Bethel annual. After much hurry and scurry by members of the staff the Spire is published. Music Groups Under the guidance of Professors Hultgren and Bergman, many of the students have become very well trained in piano and voice. The talent which these student musicians exhibit is being used at nearly every function of the school and at many places not directly connected with the school. The male quartet, commonly known as the "Four Flats," is one of the school's better known singing groups. Appearing with the male chorus, singing in school and to groups everywhere, they have become an appreciated unit. Also appearing at many functions is the string trio, which is a new type of musical treat that Bethelites are having the pleas-ure of enjoying. Page Twenty-four Page Twenty-five Prof. Hultgren Gordon Peterson Rale Chorus Sioux Falls, S. D., heard the first concert which the 1939 Male Chorus presented on its spring tour, which took it as far west as Concordia, Kansas, and as far south as Kansas City, Missouri. Prof. Hultgren, director, travelled with the men. Virgil Olson was accompanist and Gordon Peterson student direc-tor. The Chorus also sang many concerts throughout the Twin Cities and the state of Minnesota. The officers for the past year were Ned Holmgren, President ; Wyman Hanson, Vice President ; Carl Holmberg, Treasurer ; Herman Tegenfeldt, Secretary; and Folke Ferre, Librarian. 4 Cape//a Choir The A Capella Choir has practiced diligently every Thursday afternoon, and some-times oftener, to become a much-enjoyed choir. It has appeared upon many occasions and has pleased many audiences. Clifford Dickau was President for the past year; Wyman,. Hanson, Vice President ; Dorothy Beckman, Secretary; and Ruth Olson, Librarian. Prof. Hultgren directed the choir. Band and Orchestra Thursday afternoon. Noise! It's the band or the orches-tra tuning up. After a few minutes of confusion, Gordon Peter-son, the director of the band, appears, lifts his baton, and music issues from the instruments of more of Bethel's musicians. At nearly all of the gatherings in school, and especially at the basket-ball games, the band or the orchestra are there to fill with their music the moments which would otherwise be dull. These organ-izations are comparatively new, but they have already made them-selves known to be worthy of our applause, which we gladly give to them and their director. MALE CHORUS Third Row: S.

Page Twenty-six Page Twenty-seven Page Twenty-eight Page Twenty-nine B. W. II. and "B" Club The chapel has been transformed into a living room, a table is set with silver service. Only one meaning could be applied to such a procedure—the Bethel Women's Associa-tion is to have its meeting, and its tea. Very exclusively a girls' organization, the B. W. A. is an active group having interesting meetings arranged by the girls themselves. Officers for the first semester were Ruth Tegenfeldt, President ; Margery Ericson, Vice President; Jeanne Tretsven, Secretary; and Henrietta DeCamp, Treasurer. Those elected to serve as officers for the second semester were Margery Ericson, President; Florence Lindstrom, Vice President ; Ruby Christenson, Secretary ; and Annabelle Sherman, Treasurer. A hoard of red-sweatered, broad-shouldered giants are swarming toward one par-ticular room. That means "B" Club meeting. This is an organization of lettermen, ath-letes all. Usually they are extremely informal, but one night they invited the fair maid-ens to join them, and they had a banquet. The "B" Club banquet, a gala affair, was held in 'the coffee shop, which was properly decorated for the occasion. Even dressed in their Sunday best, these "he-men" had a good time. Elected by the organization at the beginning of the year were Virgil Olson, President; Clifford Dickau, Vice President; and Ray Appelquist, Secretary-Treasurer. B. W. A. Third Row: M. Melin, C.

Alexis Society The Alexis Society of the Seminary had a very interesting series of meetings during the year. Their programs were composed largely of extemporaneous speaking and singing by the members themselves. The past semester the society has set aside meetings in which they have honored members of the faculty. A member of the society gave the particular professor's life story and other interesting things about him and his work. At the conclusion of these meetings refreshments were served in the dining hall, and every one enjoyed a social time. During the spring semester the society had as its President, Wilbur Sorley; Vice President, Carl Young; Secretary, Gladys Peterson; Treasurer, Folke Ferre; Social Chairman, Ned Holmgren; and Refreshment Chairman, Mrs. Miller. College Club The College Club is an organization composed of all the students in the Junior College. The Club meets once a month. During these meetings the business of the group is cared for and programs of interesting speakers and musical numbers are pre-sented. The College Club also conducted the oratorical and declamatory contests this year. After the meetings a social hour is held in the coffee shop of the college building, during which refreshments are served and games are played by the group. The officers of the club are pictured: William Hagstrom, President ; Ethel Tederman, Secretary; Del Ray Peterson, Treasurer; and Robert Persons, Vice President.

Johnson, C. Young, D. Peterson, R. Appel-quist. Under the watchful eye of Coach Adam our boys this year reached lofty heights in the basketball world. Five lettermen returned to form a nucleus for this year's team, and three new members were added. As the team went through the schedule with victory after victory, all eyes turned toward a possible conference championship. However, the deciding game with Rochester Junior College was lost by the heart-breaking score of 28- 27. Although disappointed, the team went on with their usual pluck and fight, and came out a close second in the J. C. Conference. The credit for this smooth-working team cannot be placed in any one place. Corn-mendation goes to very efficient coaching, splendid co-operation on the part of the boys themselves, and good backing by both the school and student body. At every game that our team played at home there was a good-sized crowd of rooters to cheer them on to victory. When they came out onto the floor in their bright red outfits, there was always a rousing cheer to make them fight and win. Both the team and the students believed that this year the basketball team would attain great heights, which they did. Carl Young captained the boys to their place as runners-up in the con-ference, and Bert Friberg took care of the fellows when they weren't on the floor. Bert was the man who did the dirty work behind the scenes—he washed the socks ( ?) . DelRay Peterson did enough brilliant shooting in nearly every game to become the high scorer of the conference. Hats off to the team, its captain, and its coach ! Page Thirty Page Thirty-one BASEBALL TEAM Second Row: Coach Adam, A. Edblom, 0. Johnson, A. Blomquist, R. Dahl, B. Friberg. First Row: D.

Girls' Basketball Baseball In spite of a late start caused by bad weather, this year has produced a baseball team of note. Even though but few victories were forthcoming, the boys showed that polish and finesse that comes from long hours of diligent and consistent practice. In spite of defeats at the beginning of the season, the boys kept plugging away with that same spirit and ended the season with success; if not always successful in the score, they at least had a victorious spirit for they always enjoyed the competition of games and the trips to other schools to play on foreign diamonds. After much practice the girls appeared in their red and white uniforms with white jackets to play basketball. They played, too ! Captained by Audrey Martin and coached by William Adam, they played a fine brand of basketball and defeated most of their opposition. Once or twice they and the spectators were disappointed because their opposi-tion didn't arrive to play, but in spite of the times when they were left without opponents and the few times they lost, they had a very successful season. No matter how hard the first half of any game was played, the team was able to compose itself and primp between halves so that it looked even better than at the start of the game. Tennis The tennis team has played matches against outside competition and has put on some exhibitions of good tennis. Don Johnson, as number-one man, has been the out-standing performer, although Gus Ferre and DelRay Peterson have also showed much ability.

The best and the cheapest source of calcium is in dairy products. The lower the income for food the greater the need for more of dairy products in the regular every-day diet of all of us.
