C JOTEGLTOTC1 For seventy years Bethel has trained young men and women for the Lord's service. In the 1941 SPIRE we have en-deavored to reflect this spirit of Bethel and to trace through the seasons of the year, by an informal style and by informal pictures, those events and happenings that have im-pressed our minds. We pre-sent— the 1941 SPIRE. ConiErzb., AUTUMN TIME WHEN WINTER COMES IN THE SPRING k gtz c741212zEciation For twenty-seven years Dr. G. Arvid. Hagstrom has been both a friend and a counsellor to students at Bethel as he has, with a God-given humility, wisely directed the course of our school. In appre-ciation for these years of service and for his unfailing kindness and sympathetic understanding, we dedicate to Dr. Hagstrom this 1941 SPIRE. Good morning! . . . Is every-one here? . . . We're glad to have you with us today, Rev. Mangs . . And now home. DR. G. ARVID HAGSTROM, D.D. • • • b naingEz owz cia, 91 • • • 'CSO Laafi • Time determines the stature of a man and fathoms his innate worth. This test of time has been applied to Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom, and each succeeding year he has emerged with a richer and a fuller character. On the personal side, time has endowed Dr. Hagstrom with a dignity and courtliness few men possess. Anyone who has seen him will not soon forget his erect, youthful posture, his gray hair and his kindly blue eyes with their perennial twinkle. His is a life that is full indeed. He might well have said with the Psalmist, "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." Every day in the life of this man seems veritably to have been numbered and every hour seems to have had its well-ordered place. And always he has been of a keen and inquiring mind—truly a seeker after wisdom. Yes, this one has made good use of the time given him. And so time has in turn dealt kindly . . Dr. Hagstrom was born in Sundsvall, Sweden, on September 8, 1867. His parents brought him to this country the following year, so he remembers nothing of his first long sea voyage. As a boy, he attended Sunday School and worship services at the First Swedish Baptist Church of Minneapolis. When he arrived at the age of fifteen, the age when most boys must make important decisions, he decided to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour and was baptized that same year. Dr. Frank Peterson was then serving the Minneapolis church . Dr. Hagstrom, in later life, performed a labor of love and admiration for his pastor when he set his pen to the task of writing the Biography of Dr. Frank Peterson. The young lad was educated in Minneapolis public and business schools and also through the extension department of the University of Des Moines . He entered seminary training in 1889 and graduated from the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. Later he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Divinity by Wake Forest College, Wake Forest, North Carolina. He gained his earliest actual preaching ex-perience at Kenyon, Minnesota, where he served the church in 1890 and 1891. He next accepted a call to the church at Newark, Illinois, where he served from 1891 to 1893. In this church, in 1892, he was ordained as a minister. On the first of June, 1892, the young minister of the Gospel married Caroline Wilhelmina An- Eight derson of Scandia, Minnesota. The young couple later adopted a daughter, Marion, who is now Mrs. L. J. Melrose of St. Paul. Together with his family, then, the young Rev. Hagstrom continued in the service of the Lord. Later Mrs. Hagstrom became ill and was unable to continue her active work. Perhaps the greatest sorrow in Dr. Hag-strom's life came when, in February 1933, his wife suddenly passed away. On July 26, 1934 he was married to Miss Ebba Brundin of Englewood Church in Chicago, an active member and recording sec-retary of that church and an active young people's worker. She has been a great help to Dr. Hagstrom in his later years, both in church work and in the home. In the churches during Rev. Hagstrom's early ministry there were as yet no organized young people's societies. Then only twenty-six himself, he felt the need for an organization of this sort and worked to accomplish the found-ing of a unified group. As a result of his efforts, the first young people's union met in Rockford, Illinois, on June 24, 1893, with the young minister as chairman. The same year he was appointed Sunday School missionary for the American Baptist Publication Society and the Illinois Sunday School Union. He also found time to accept a further task as co-editor of the Young People's Paper for Swedish Baptist. In 1896 the First Swedish Baptist Church of Chicago called Rev. Hagstrom to its pastorate and he served there until 1907. Shortly after coming to Chicago he founded a religious paper, The Church and Home, and continued as its editor until he left to fill another position. The General Conference had decided to appoint a mission secretary in order to effectively coordinate and further develop home mission interests. Rev. Hagstrom was elected to this office and worked successfully for three years to develop a stronger denomina-tional consciousness. He resigned from this position in 1909 to accept the pastorate of the First Swedish Baptist Church of St. Paul, where he served until 1913. Then the General Conference which met in Duluth in 1913 passed a decision that set the future course of Dr. Hagstrom's life. At that time the Conference voted to move the Seminary, rich in tradition, from Morgan Park, Illinois to St. Paul and to consolidate it with Bethel Academy, which had been founded in 1905. Dr. Hagstrom, having proved himself a capable leader throughout his public career, was elected to the presidency of the newly combined schools. In addition to his execu-tive tasks he accepted the duties of a professor's chair in the Seminary. Nine • • • tfiat arE trzati al2/4 • • • • • • °La fiEaTti. • • • Among the other duties that devolved upon Dr. Hagstrom was the securing of the present campus. The raising of needed funds for the pur-chase, the erection of the buildings, the purchase of needed equipment, and the support of the school were not easy tasks. When President Hagstrom made a visit, yes, more than one, to Hon. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railroad, he received the promise of ten thousand dollars, the largest sum ever received from one person. Through the efforts of the president approximately seventy-five thousand dollars has been received for the work of the Institute from the Board of Education of the Northern Baptist Convention. As Dr. J. 0. Backlund states in his book, Swedish Baptists in America, at the time when Dr. Hagstrom became presi-dent "no duties comparable to those now laid on Dr. Hagstrom's shoulders had ever been placed on any man in the history of the Swedish Baptist denomination." In addition to ably discharging his duties at school, Dr. Hagstrom has served in a number of other positions. He was a member of the executive committee of the Northern Baptist Convention from 1914 to 1919 and was elected to their Board of Promotion in 1920. He is a life member and director of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society and has served on their Board of Managers since 1920. In addition, he has held a membership in the Commission of Baptist Bodies Using Foreign Languages of the Northern Baptist Convention since 1923. Dr. Hagstrom has also been sent as a delegate to several conventions of the Baptist World Alliance. In such capacity he has attended the meetings of the Alliance in Philadelphia; Stockholm, Sweden; Toronto, Canada, and Atlanta, Georgia. During his travels he has made three trips to Europe, visiting twelve different countries on the continent. The General Conference honored Dr. Hagstrom further in 1930 by ap-pointing him their general and promotional secretary, which office he held until 1933. Further responsibilities were added to Dr. Hagstrom's already numerous duties in 1931 when the present Junior College was founded as an integral part of Bethel Institute. As already evidenced by the foregoing, it is apparent that our president has written prodigious-ly. While he was pastor in St. Paul, he served as an editor of Veckobulletinen for five years. He also served as a department editor of the Swedish magazine Hemmets Van and of Barnens Tidning, a Sunday School paper printed in Swedish, and as co-editor of three Swedish hymnals, Valda Hymner, Ten Triumfs Sanger, and Fridsroster. Among his other writings are the histories of the First Swedish Bap-tist Churches of Chicago, St. Paul, and Minneapolis. Dr. Hagstrom was active in establishing the first home for the aged among Swedish Baptists at Fridhem, Morgan Park, Illinois. To him also belongs the honor of being one of the three founders and original owners of the Bethany Beach Summer Assembly at Sawyer, Michigan, the first summer assembly among Swedish Baptists in America. Among the many offices Dr. Hagstrom holds at the present time is the combined office of trustee, secretary, and treasurer of the Northwestern Baptist Hospital Association. He is also secretary of the Baptist Hospital Fund, Inc. and a trustee of the Twin City Baptist Union. He holds a life membership in the Minnesota His-torical Society and is a member of the Scandinavian American Foundation, the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Language and Literature, the Swedish Historical Society of America, and Pi Gamma Mu. Confidence in his executive ability has been shown by the fact that he has been elected six times as the president of the Swedish Baptist General Conference of America and is serving his fourth consecutive term as president of the Minnesota Baptist Convention. As The Watchman-Examiner for December 12, 1940, states, "in both the Swedish General Conference and in the Northern Convention, he has filled so many offices and performed so many duties that it is difficult to know how one man could accomplish so much. It is a sign of the fruitfulness of his valuable life." And so we have a partial picture of Dr. Hagstrom as mirrored in his accomplishments. We have a portrayal of a literary man, a minister, an edu-cator, and an executive. But there is a very personal side not yet seen. And that phase of man's life is best seen in his home life and in his use of leisure time. Dr. Hagstrom possesses a library of more than two thousand volumes and is constantly adding to that number. Much of his spare time is spent in reading and writing. He still contributes material to some religious paper almost weekly. On his free evenings he usually works in his library or study until after midnight and never goes to bed until he feels tired. Once Dr. Hagstrom remarked, "I have golfed regularly for the last ten years—about once a year." His days are too busy to permit the leisurely enjoyment of hobbies. Once each summer, how-ever, he travels to one of Minnesota's ten thousand Elecen • • • 1.1.1210 0.711c10,12. 11 _1 E lakes for a period of complete relaxation. He finds a bit of fishing and meditating good for body, mind, and soul. Outstanding even above all his physical and mental attributes is the remarkable character pos-sessed by this minister and educator. No one who has studied in his classes can fail to appreciate his depth of Christian experience. What lowly freshman does not thrill when this man, who has been accorded a place in Who's Who in America, will stop in his hurry to classes and ask kindly con-cerning that humble one's welfare. Few men ever reach such pinnacles of greatness; fewer men remain as humble as he. Perhaps no one is more familiar with Dr. Hagstrom's lovable character than those members of the Bethel faculty who have worked with him for many years. Almost without exception each instructor mentions, first of all, our president's remarkable ability to put one at complete ease in his presence. He has the confidence of all his wide circle of friends and greatly enjoys the opportunities he has for counseling young people. Dr. Hagstrom is capable of taking ready command of any situation. He feels as much at home with a large audience as with a single individual. As a presiding officer he is unexcelled. With the utmost courtesy and unending patience he listens to every contribution. In private conversation he is every bit as courteous and seems a deep, never-ending source of gentleness and sympathy. His is truly a character without reproach. And now, though Dr. Hagstrom is retiring from the presidency of Bethel Institute, he is still planning for the future. He has been asked by the school board to continue to serve on the faculties of both the Seminary and college departments. In addition to his duties as professor he intends to continue the conducting of Bible conferences. For twenty-seven years Dr. Hagstrom has pre-sided over Bethel Institute. During this long and successful administration many changes have taken place in the school and many students have felt the uplifting influence of his quiet, unassuming personality. To really know the man is to love him; to love him is to want to be like him. Even as the pebble thrown into the sea causes never-ending, ever-widening ripples, so shall the influence of this mighty man of God reach out even into eternity. "Our echoes roll from soul to soul, And live forever and forever." WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT? War is in the air in almost the entire civilized world, but peace and harmony prevails at Bethel, and prospects for a continuance and increase thereof are as bright as ever. Bethel stands at the crossroads between the past and the future at the close of this year's work. It is seventy years since Dr. J. A. Edgren, a worthy hero of the cross, had the courage to open the doors of a school and invite young men in for the training of preachers and mis-sionaries. This he did without a school board or school committee to back him up, and without a salary or other friends in sight except as the eye of faith might look to the resources of Almighty God for the supply. Christopher Silene was his first student and Nels Hayland his first graduate. How different those days were from ours today; with a faculty of sixteen and a student body of one hundred eighty-nine; then no buildings or other physical equipment, now fairly well equipped. Courses have been developed and expanded to meet the increased demands of this present day and age. Graduates, four hundred eighty-nine from the seminary and more than two thousand from the preparatory departments, lead one to remark, "What wonderful things hath not God wrought!" With such a splendid background and with a new girls' dormitory in prospect for next fall and a new president at the opening of the next school year, surely the spirit of optimism and hopefulness should abound through the halls of Bethel. The writer of these lines, who has been actively asso-ciated in service with this beloved institution since January 1, 1914, ought to be justified in some degree at least to assume the roll of a prophet, but conscious of his limitations, and remembering the thankless task of the prophet, humbly begs to be excused from any such a venture. However, there lurks in his mind not the faintest degree of misgiving or apprehension for the future of Bethel. So long as our trust is in Almighty God, and His dear Son Jesus Christ as our leader, and a spirit of cooperation prevails for the carrying forward of the cause of training our youth for Christian life and service, especially for the ministry and missionary service, the favor of God's good will and blessing will never be found wanting, and by His grace He will lead on to still more glorious achievements and victories. The ever increasing list of supporters by prayer and gifts through the influence of pastors, church leaders and friends will, under God, assure Bethel of a brighter future for the years that are ahead. For that we fervently pray and plead with all the readers of the Spire. G. ARVID HAGSTROM. Twelve Thirteen EMERY A. JOHNSON Dean Johnson has the ability to make his eight o'clock zoology classes so interesting that few students fall asleep. Thorough and concise, he efficiently directs the affairs of the college. EFFIE NELSON In lecture, Miss Nelson fre-quently stops to give a bit of philosophical advice. Outside of class she is librarian and Dean of Women, aiding stu-dents who seek references, or counseling perplexed coeds. C. E. CARLSON With a characteristic twinkle in his eye, Professor Carlson conducts his social science classes. Human touches added to the historical characters make his lectures realistic. ENID PLATTS "Practice makes power" echoes from the walls of the English room as Miss Platts lectures. She is an enthusiastic reader of poetry, and her joy is her forensic group. K. J. KARLSON Potential ministers meet the genial Dr. Karlson as they apply for admission into the Seminary. His profound knowl-edge of human nature and his characteristic "chuckle — en-liven his lectures. ADOLF OLSON Although quiet and un-assuming, Professor Olson re-flects his decided Christian personality and his firm con-victions. His homely sense of humor is of ten expressed through the maxims of "Amos n' Andy." ESTHER SABEL Conviction and common sense characterize Miss Sabel, as she urges the need for religious education and per-sonal evangelism. Her practi-cal slant on life is appreciated when she distributes candy before exams. REUBEN OMARK In his first year at Bethel Professor Omark has been an example of diligence and per-sistence. He explains Greek to us and makes mummies prove the veracity of the Scriptures. A. J. WINGBLADE The smile of Professor Wing-blade has eased many Greek and Christian Workers' classes into studious attention. He believes in brevity, even in spelling, invariably spelling "through" as "thru." ALICE JOHNSON Her youthful, exuberant at-titude attracts students, and her services as chaperon are much in demand. After a spirited half-hour of discussion she remarks, "Now we have to study the lesson." FRIDOLPH NELSON Fridolph Nelson's shy man-ner conceals the humor which more discerning students have discovered. A banker at heart, he finds it easy to lecture about stocks and bonds. GEORGE HULTGREN "Keep that tone up!" Pro-fessor Hultgren's knowledge of music enables him to bring forth the best that musically-inclined students possess. His spontaneous humor inspires friendship with everyone he meets. WALTER JULIEN Our business agent, Mr. Julien, may be adequately described by the phrase, "busy as a bee." He is quiet, congenial, efficient, and has to constantly cope with finan-cially- worried students. ERNEST NORSTROM Essentially a scientist, Pro-fessor Norstrom is deliberate in manner, in walk, and in speech. He is constantly making additions to the labor-atory equipment which he has constructed. H. WYMAN MALMSTEN Mr. Malmsten is our "Bethel Booster." A pusher in the true sense, he always has the interests of the school at heart as he seeks out pros-pective students. THEODORE BERGMAN Mr. Bergman's dynamic temperament finds full expres-sion in piano playing. His brilliant technique and great artistry have won acclaim wherever he has gone. WILLIAM ADAM Affectionately thought of as "Bill" by students, Coach Adam is earnest in his en-deavor to make students "spor t s conscious." The basketball men know him as an advocate of stiff work-outs. EDITH LARSON Friendly, helpful, and co-operative, Miss Larson pa-tiently answers even the most trivial questions brought by harassed students. As a re-sult— well, she's everyone's friend. Fourteen Fifteen gfiE Sja ct Lft, _S-)tuciEtzt. Council Standing: E. Anderson, G. Hoglund, M. Liljenstrom, D. Anderson, V. Hauk. Seated: V. Carlson, D. Miller, W. Sherwick, C. Lundquist, V. Olson, F. McOlash, Pearson. The Student Council can be called the clearing-house of Bethel activity for it is connected in some way with almost every department and activity. It is the voice of the student body, the organ of student government at Bethel. As such the Council has had a busy and active year. To start the school year and to welcome the freshmen, they planned that week of buzzing activity known as Freshman Week. Later, in October, the Council made extensive arrangements for the Homecoming celebration, and in February they sponsored the all-school trip to New Ulm. At the close of the school year, the Council planned the all-school picnic on June 4. This year the Council has introduced several new ideas. With the aid of the Student Publications Department, the Council for the first time prepared and printed a student directory. The Chapel Choir was organized to fill a need for music in the chapel services. Student health insurance and an activities expense budget have been items of discussion during the year. The officers for this year have been: Carl Lundquist, president; Virgil Olson, vice-president, and Virginia Carlson, secretary. Professor E. Norstrom is the faculty advisor. The representatives from the various departments are: David Anderson, forensics; Dury Miller, Seminary; Gunnar Hoglund, Junior College; Val Hauk, athletics; Elving Anderson, Religious Council; Francis McOlash, Music Department; Winston Sher-wick, Alexis Society; Mary Ann Liljenstrom, publications ; and Leona Pearson, College Club. ogufumrz gitnE Sixteen 42 .11/kikEl. r EA_Lt. VTE5_fin2CO2 Cfall "Where's your green hat?" "Use the other sidewalk! - "Hey you, carry my books r Such cries and commands resounded through Bethel's halls as upper classmen initiated tremulous freshmen into Bethel school life. The moments to nurse cases of homesickness were few as the newcomers were entertained night after night by the faculty and upper classmen. On the first evening, the Twin City Swedish B. Y. P. U. entertained all Bethelites with an evening of skits and merriment. On a tour in a chartered bus the next afternoon, the new students saw the sights and became acquainted with the Twin Cities. But we can't forget the watermelon feed—who was it that ate the most?—and the all-school mixer. The green hats were symbolic of—well, you know—and were the official insignia for the freshmen until the night of the semi-formal re-ception. There, with a blast of the royal trumpet, the promotion began and the hats were ceremoniously removed. By this time the freshmen had proved that they were well qualified to take their places with the rest of the Bethel group and, as they doffed their hats, they ceased their apprenticeship and became true Bethelites. Fourth row: M. Olson, C. Tedlund, V. Stoneberg, W. Magnuson, R. Youngquist, H. Olson, C. Jorgensen, R. Beck, D. Moberg, A. Odens, M. Valine, W. Wessman, H. Johnson, J. Gould, E. Nelson, B. Jones. Third row: A. Schouweiler, J. Peterson, G. Pederson, B. White, M. Clarke, M. Lindberg, M. Engstrom, D. Fanberg, M. Collin, A. Johnson, I. Nelson, P. Karlson, M. Salmonson, R. Johnson, R.

Dischinger, R. Gustafson, V. Osterman, R. Braun, L. Collin, R. Norstrom. After the initial registration was over, and the placement tests had been taken, these energetic young freshmen went to class to become acquainted with their new instructors. It was that atmosphere of ex-pectation that made the first days of school so vitally active. As classes became routine and days were adjusted appropriately, a class meeting was called. Bob Dischinger was chosen president. Roland Gustafson was selected as his assistant, and upon Russell Taft rested the responsibility to care for the finances. When Mr. Taft was forced to discontinue school because of an injury, Herbert McDonald was elected to take over the task. It became Harriet Anderson's duty to record the minutes. The class selected William Adam as advisor. Carefully planned social functions added to the fellowship among the members of the group. A hard time party, announced on newspaper scraps, required members to come in patched clothing. Later an ice skating party at the Hippodrome added variety to the winter's activity. The traditional task which falls upon the shoulders of every freshmen class, that of raising money in order to entertain the sophomores in an annual banquet, was taken care of in part by their quiz program led by "Eddie Kayshun and His Question Heirs." The characteristic en-thusiasm and cooperation of the class helped to make this program successful. This year has seen the development of lasting friendships, deep spiritual experiences, and intellectual achievements for the class of 1940-41. Next year holds promise for even greater things.

Larson, W. Nordine, H. Rogers. First row: E. Anderson, A. Johnson, G. Hoglund, Advisor C. E. Carlson, A. Johnson, C. Engwall, C. Bjorklund. It's a busy bunch of sophomores Bethel has this year. Beside their regular studies, which would keep anyone busy, almost all of them do some kind of work to help with their expenses. Many of the women work in homes or are employed at school in the office or in the boarding club or coffee shop. Men work either down town in eating places and hotels or around the campus, and some have churches. In addition, almost every one takes part in many extra-curricular activities. Studies have been important, but the social activities have had their place. Outstanding was the evening of March 28 when the class spon-sored the Minneapolis A Cappella Choir in a concert at Bethel. But the pow-wow at the waterworks and the annual toboggan party that turned out to be a rollerskating party will not be forgotten. The Sophomore class has fifty members, of which thirty-three will graduate in June. Archie Johnson has the honor of being their president and the other officers have been: Carol Jane Engwall, vice-president; Arlene Johnson, secretary; and Gunnar Hoglund, treasurer. Professor C. E. Carlson is their advisor. Bethel has meant much to these sophomores. Especially the good, straight, Christian education Bethel has given them. They have made many lasting, valuable friendships. They have achieved a broad ex, perience from their extra-curricular activities. A number will go into the Seminary; others will continue their education at the University of Minnesota; and some will go out into fields of service. But they will never forget the year they were sophomores at Bethel. aziitian (WozkEz1 1 r EI2aztrnErzt Second row: L. Collin, R. Ellstrom, E. Ingebretson, V. Waihela, Miss Sabel, Prof. Wingblade, M.

When school opened last fall, thirteen girls registered in this Chris-tian Workers' Department. Two of the girls discontinued school at the second semester, but two others entered, leaving the total number the same. The group's first social event of the year was a picnic held at a park on the banks of the Mississippi River. The evening was spent in singing choruses and getting acquainted, and closed with a short de-votional period. Miss Sabel provided the refreshments. Before Christmas the Workers were entertained at a party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Wingblade. Games were played and a delicious lunch was served by Mrs. Wingblade. In March the girls enjoyed a winter outing. After an afternoon of skiing, tobogganing, sliding, and hiking, they again went to the Wing-blade home for a social hour and refreshments. The Christian Workers' course is a program of Bible and religious educational subjects offered by Bethel Junior College to those who desire to prepare themselves for more efficient service in the home church. Every student who avails himself of the courses in the department is deriving benefit for himself as well as fitting himself for further use in the service of his King. Prof. A. J. Wingblade, Miss Esther Sabel, Dr. Hagstrom, and Prof. Ernest Norstrom ably serve the department as instructors and advisors. Twenty Twenty-one .S'En2i.t2cz79 unio7 Cfai.1 Third row: R. Paulson, G.

I'm in the SEMINARY now Over night the college" man and the "college" woman have be-come dignified members of the Theological Department. The junior year presents to the new student its challenges as well as its points of interest—the first sample of what it means to "grapple with Greek" and the first experience of having one's knees knock over that homiletics sermon. However, it has its redeeming qualities as well, for, though one has enjoyed his secular studies in the college, they do not carry with them the thrill that is to be found in studying directly from the Word of God and in finding a more direct contact with things that one can put into practical use in His future service. The Junior class of 1940 chose from their group Grant Samuelson to be president; Val Hauk, vice-president; Raynold Appelquist, treas-urer; and Violet Carlson, secretary. Earlier in the year a scavenger hunt was held, ending in a hamburger fry at Como Park. Then on January 29, the juniors donned their best and dined at the West Twin Inn. The evening proved to be anything but dull with "Artful Olaf" Nelson as toastmaster and Glenn Anderson with his trained flea. But the evening would not have been complete without the choruses and the closing devotional meditation. Now that this year is past, the juniors look eagerly toward the summer's work and the place that Bethel has for them next fall as middlemen. Third row: D. Miller, H. Abrahamson, B. Friberg, T. Halvorsen, G. Larson. Second row: F. McOlash, C. Lundquist, W. Hagstrom, M. Lovegren, S. Larson, R. Johnson. First row: E. Ruff, W. Johnson, R. Perrin, P. Lundgren, H. DeCamp. "Hi there, Brother! Did you have a good summer? And how does it feel to be a middleman?" These words could be heard almost any-where on the campus last fall as the members of the class of '42 returned to resume their studies. You know, becoming a middleman is a great step upward in the education of the Seminary student, for he returns with a little more of an idea of his purpose at Bethel. He knows more fully what is expected of him; thus he more easily adjusts himself to arising situations. Then, too, he appreciates school more after he has been in the work for a summer and has discovered that perhaps he doesn't know it all. So it was with this attitude that the middlemen registered and or-cranized their class. But who should be selected to lead the class for the year? Ah! The "dynamic spirited" Robert Perrin—he is the Man! So Bob and his executive committee composed of Paul Lundgren as vice-president, Warren Johnson as treasurer, and Henrietta DeCamp as secretary have performed the function of directing the class activities for the year. The major social event was a toboggan party held at Minnehaha Park on February 3. Several of the middlemen have held student pastorates during the year. These have proved a challenge both in personal lives and in studies. It has been a good year. The Lord has blessed richly, and each middleman looks forward to an even better year as a senior next fall. Twenty-two Twenty-three Etat:n(17y Second row: D. Anderson, C. Holmberg, E. Sherman, S.

Back of them lie the struggles of decisions, of classrooms, and of student pastorates. Before them lies the great and glorious task of being an ambassador of the King in the Swedish Baptist churches of America. Their last year in the Seminary has been a memorable one. Never will they forget the dinner at Professor Olson's when they dined on "Knobby- Bergeson's goose, nor the evening spent at John Valine's home discussing with Professor Olson the work of the Swedish Baptist denomination. Nor can they erase from their memories the trip to North Isanti when they dined at the home of their wedded-and-estab-lished class president, Carl Holmberg. As a class program they spon-sored the presentation of "The Seven Last Words of Christ" by the Chapel Choir under the direction of Gordon Peterson. Their own leaders for the year have been: Carl Holmberg, presi-dent; Winston Sherwick, vice-president; John Valine, secretary; and Alrik Blomquist, treasurer. For the past three years the seniors have exerted a strong influence on campus activities and have assumed leading responsibilities in many fields. It is with a great deal of pride that Bethel ushers them out into the denominational churches, for the personalities and the well-develop-ed minds of these young men promise for a bright future. _REE119 al Council From left to right: D. Bjork, M. Petersen, E. Anderson, W. Hagstrom, A. Johnson. "0 teach us, Lord, to know and own This wondrous mystery, That Thou with us art truly one, And we are one with Thee." To help the students at Bethel to experience for themselves the reality of their relationship to Christ has been one of the main aims of the Council of Religious Activities throughout this year. This deeper de-votional life has been stressed in the Chapel worship programs con-ducted by the Council, in the noon and evening prayer meetings, in the devotional thoughts placed on the Council bulletin board, and especially in the Religious Emphasis Week before Easter with Rev. Reuben E. Nelson as speaker. The personnel of the Council—Elving Anderson, president; Dale Bjork, vice-president; Muriel Petersen, secretary; Arlene Johnson, treas-urer; and William Hagstrom, Representative of the Missionary Band-- were aided and guided in their work by their advisor, Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom. Through the Gospel teams organized by the Council, Bethel stu-dents have shared the joy of Christ which is in their own hearts with old people in old people's homes, with young people and children in Twin City missions and a Girl's Club, and with old and young alike in the various churches in the vicinity of the Twin Cities which could be reached by the Gospel teams on their Sunday trips. A special Gospel team visited churches in Iowa, South Dakota, and southern Minnesota during Easter vacation. "And we are one with Thee." This year of working together with Christ has been a blessed year for Bethel students. Twenty-four Twenty-five CP-cayET and iPi,i,liona'zy October 23, 1940 was set aside this year as Bethel's Prayer and Missionary Day in acknowledgment of the fact that prayer and mis-sions are inseparable in the work of the Lord. On that day Mrs. Lera B. Friedemann of Central Europe; Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Armstrong of Congo, Africa; Miss Linnea Nelson of China; and Rev. G. P. Schroeder, a Russian refugee now doing missionary work in South Dakota, brought to the students interesting and chal-lenging messages of the work God is doing in the fields represented by them. Mrs. Emma Ekvall also brought a glimpse of her work in China. During the day a special topic for prayer was the work of Ruth and Herman Tegenfeldt who just recently left for Burma. Among other missionary couples that mean much to Bethel are Doris and Eric Fryck-enberg, now in India. It was Mr. Fryckenberg who started Bethel's prayer towers which continue to be a power in school life. Another man to whom we owe much is Dr. 0. L. Swanson. Since his retire-ment from active service, Edna and Reuben Holm have been carrying on the work. These and a host of other missionaries were the objects of prayer throughout this Missionary Day. The one shadow cast upon this year's horizon was that caused by the death, in April, 1941, of our beloved Dr. Ahlquist. We pause in his memory to utter a silent prayer of thanksgiving for the life of this friend.

All we could sal-vage from the avalanche were memories—memories of Male Chorus tryouts, with its ups and downs (you know the scale?)—of the Frosh hardtime party. (They called it hardtime, but it looks as if they had a goodtime even if they did have to eat out of paper sacks after a stren-uous evening of . . . play). Just to even things, the sophomores had a pow-pow at Como Park and there was even less formality in their "table - manners. Fall wasn't cold—but there was a draft. A memorable day when some of the men pledged their support to the welfare of Uncle Sam in obedience to his demand. "Ziggy- and his "sax- were important figures on the campus and for reason enough. It isn't everyone who can make a saxophone talk. We're still a little upset inside at the remembrance of the political rally. It was good politics to express opinions—and everyone did, but it looks as if it were more than words that flew. Yes--Fall fell! Twenty-eight Indians freely stalked Bethel's campus one day last fall, and war-whoops rang through the air as the alumni gathered for their annual Homecoming celebration. Long before that time the student committees, under the direction of Virgil Olson, had carefully laid plans for the great occasion. As the day approached, traces of Indian life appeared here and there about the campus. With hard work and some pieces of chalk, Betty Daniel-son and Mrs. Fridolph Nelson completed a mural that covered the front of the chapel. And as the day finally arrived, the school hung out its sign of welcome for the returning alumni. To begin the day's activity, the alumni went back to their old routine--they attended classes. But this time even the teachers could visit the classes and see themselves portrayed by the students. Scratches, sore shins, and aching muscles were the only rewards for the freshman and sophomore men as they battled for the sandbag in the afternoon sandbag rush—but the sophomores won. At the annual banquet in the evening, the tepee menus and milk-weed pod nut-cups rocked on the board tables as the Indians became merry. Chief Carl Lundquist directed affairs from his tepee set on the platform among the rustling leaves and later introduced the speaker of the evening, Rev. Aymond Anderson. To close the day, the varsity braves emerged victorious over the alumni warriors in the annual alumni basketball game. --CtaciEtzt gpalto71 Third row: P. Lundgren, C. Lundquist, W. Johnson, H.

One of the ways in which the Lord trained His disciples was to send them out into the surrounding communities to preach. In a simi-lar manner many Bethel students were "sent out'' last June to preach the Good Tidings in various parts of our land, from Michigan to Wash-ington, and up into Canada. Those who could do so retained their pastorates through the winter months. Student pastorates offer advantages to both the student and the church. They present to the prospective minister the opportunity of "learning by doing" and. also provide for him a means of support. Then, too, they make possible the preaching of the Gospel in many fields which are unable to support a full-time pastor. Considerable progress has been noted in many of the fields. As a result some churches which have been student pastorates are now pre-pared to call a full-time pastor. The following are included in the list of student pastors: Harry - Abrahamson, Eastern Heights Chapel, St. Paul; David Anderson, Osce-ola, Wis.; Glenn Anderson, Dagget, Mich.; John Bergeson, Jessie Lake, Minn.; Alrik Blomquist, Rusk, Wis.; Gustave Ferre, Glen Flora, Wis.; Bertil Friberg, Spring Vale, Minn.; Truman Halvorsen, Spring Lake Park, Minn.; Hilton Hanson, Cushing, Minn.; William Hagstrom, Gibbon, Minn,; Carl Holmberg, North Isanti, Minn.; Raymond Johnson, Orock and Kra-gero, Minn.; Rawlin Johnson ; East Balsam Lake, Wis.; Warren Johnson, Oxford, Minn.; Walter Julien, Becker, Minn.; Gordon Larson, Hasty, Minn.; Sydney Larson, Long Lake, Minn.; Wesley Lindblom, Meadow-vale Community, Minn.; Carl Lundquist, Harris, Minn.; Melvin Lundeen, Elk River, Minn.; Paul Lundgren, Troy, Idaho and Cedarhome, Wash.; Francis Mc°lash, Roseau, Minn.; Dury Miller, Wood River and Falun, Wis.; Virgil Olson, Dalton, Mich.; Gordon Peterson, Tustin, Mich.; Robert Perrin, River Falls, Wis.; Herschel Rogers, Mt.

A pair of wins for the Bethel varsity followed with Albert Lea on the short end of a 42 to 30 score in the first game, and with Tracy taking the rays in the second by 40 to 31. The following night the conference champions from Worthington collected 52 points to take the measure of the Indians, who could score only 35 counters against their rangy opponents. The local squad, backed by the band and a student representation from Bethel, journeyed to Luther on February 28, only to lose a thriller by the count of 53 to 44. The follo wing evening the scene of the fray was the Bethany College gym at Mankato. The braves scored at will to trounce their hosts, 61 to 20. On March 5, the varsity, playing their last game of the season on the home floor, defeated the Farm School again, this time by a five-point margin, 40 to 35. The total scores in all the games showed the Bethel team had garnered a total of 583 points or an average of 38.9 points per contest. Their opponents had amassed a total of 634 tallies to give them an average of 42.3 points per game. The squad was ably instructed by Coach William Adam. From a rather slow, erratic group of ball players he developed a steady, pow-erful quint which specialized in defensive play. But he taught the squad more than mere fundamentals. Each athlete learned to value true sportsmanship above victory. This cooperation between Coach Adam and the team is exemplary of the fine spirit shown in all branches of the Bethel athletic department. W-HOOP IT UP! The Bethel Indians collected a total of seven victories and eight defeats in their regular schedule for the 1940-41 basketball season. They finished in a tie for fifth place among the nine teams in the South-ern Minnesota Junior College Conference with a record of four wins and seven losses in conference play. Four lettermen responded to Coach William Adam's call for candi-dates at the beginning of the season. Gordon Peterson, who was chosen io captain the team, and Ray Appelquist were two-year letter winners, while Gene Nyman and Lowell Marquardt were the one-year lettermen reporting. The other varsity men chosen were Truman Hal-vorsen, Glen Swanson, Gerald Larson, and Roland Gustafson. The team copped the first game from the Minnesota Farm School on December 7 by the close score of 41 to 39. Next they traveled to For-est City, Iowa, where they lost to the Waldorf Warriors, 42 to 35. On the return trip the next evening, they dropped a game to the Rochester quint by the score of 47-39. On December 18 the Indians lost their third in a row by bowing before the powerful Concordia Comets, 50 to 24. Resuming play on the home floor after the Christmas holidays, the Bethel five racked up a pair of victories by edging out Luther, 38 to 37, on January 10, and by defeating Waldorf on the following evening, 48 to 42. In their return contest, played on the Concordia floor on January 25, the braves showed considerable improvement over their earlier game but lost, 55 to 40.

As one of its projects, the Bethel Woman's Association has this year succeeded in making that room a homelike and attractive place in which to spend leisure moments. The annual tea given by the faculty men's wives began the year's activities. Big Sisters once more aided Little Sisters to adjust themselves to college life. Monthly programs throughout the year were refreshing and different. Occasions such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christ-mas provided ample opportunities to present old themes in original settings. The candelight installation service impressively brought out the purpose of the B. W. A.—to develop spiritually, intellectually, and so-cially. gfiE The Bethel "Er Club is an organization to honor those who have been awarded letters for participation in athletics. A player becomes eligible for membership when he wins a letter, and gains admission to the Club after proper initiation ceremonies. To win a letter an athlete must compete in one of Bethel's three major sports—basketball, baseball, and tennis. An award is made only after the candidate has exceeded the minimum number of quarters, innings, or sets required. Officers for the year were: Gus Ferre, president; Gene Nyman, vice-president; Alrik Blomquist, secretary-treasurer ; and Coach William Adam, advisor. 7-1?irty-four Before each of the regularly scheduled conference games, the coed team has played enthusiastically, though not always victoriously. Good sportsmanship has prevailed in every one of the hard fought games. 'With strong players in the four veterans: Olga Anderson and Arlene Johnson as guards, and Mary Anne Liljenstrom and Virginia Carlson as forwards, and with the added new members, the team developed rapidly under the instruction of Coach Adam. The new members in-cluded: Ethel Tederman, Betty White, Virginia Lundholm, and Betty Jo Anderson, forwards; and Jeanette Peterson, Betty Swanson, Sara Mae Swensson, and Alice Schouweiler, guards. - Billy - Anderson was unan-imously elected to captain the team and Betty Danielson was selected as manager. The teams the coeds have met this year have been the organized church league teams from the Twin Cities and the University Farm School. Although they had no floor of their own, the church teams proved to be strong opponents. During the year ten games were played at Bethel and two on the Farm School floor. Of these, the Bethel cagerettes took nine games. Virginia Carlson was the pivot player and high point player of the team, with her colleague, Mary Anne Liljenstrom, second in the scoring honors. The officers for this year were: Leona Pearson, president; Muriel Petersen, vice-president; Arlene Johnson, treasurer; Joyce Nelson, secretary; and Olga Anderson, Laverne Berglund, Sara Mae Swen-sson, and Viola Waihela, cabinet chairmen. Miss Nelson once more carefully supervised the year's ac-tivities. Standing: B. Friberg, R. Appel-quist, C. Holmberg, V. Olson, C. Bjorklund, 0. Nelson, F. McClash. Seated: G. Peterson, G. Nyman, A.

In the fourth year of its existence the Bethel band has developed into an organization with sufficient ability to become one of the school's leading extra-curricular activities. The band calendar for the year included a variety of appearances. The group played for most of the home basketball games, accompanied the student body on the basketball trip to New Ulm, presented a con-cert at the First German Baptist Church in Minneapolis, played a num-ber of selections at the annual Homecoming Banquet, and appeared at several pep meetings. In February the band members and their guests enjoyed their annual band party in the Seminary gym. Much of the band's success is due to the efficient leadership of its director, Gordon Peterson. With his extensive knowledge of music, his quiet manner of leadership, and his remarkable patience, he has fostered a general spirit of good will among band members. The school has cooperated well with the band in providing instru-ments which the students are privileged to use. Seven instruments are now available to the students as well as several new books of marches, light classics and waltzes which have been placed in the band's music library. Awards are presented by the school to members for two years of participation in the band. Those receiving this recognition this year are Archie Johnson, Kenneth Norquist, Elving Anderson, Muriel Pet-ersen, and Robert Perrin. The officers who have directed the activities of the band have been: Dury Miller, president; Margaret Erickson, secretary; and Elwood Anderson, librarian. Thirty-six Standing: M. Valine, D.

This school paper, published bi-weekly, is the expression of the life, the thinking, and the spirit which is Bethel. In journalistic style, the Clarion has recorded the happenings of student life, but has not neglected the features, the editorial comments, and the devotional meditations which have added color to the publication. The following staff was organized by Lemuel Petersen, who was Chairman of Student Publications until he found it necessary to discon-tinue school: Marvin Toews, editor-in-chief; Paul Anderson, associate editor; Alice Schouweiler, campus editor; Gene Nyman, sports editor; Elving Anderson, Betty Anderson, Rosalaine Anderson, Gunnar Hog-lund, Arlene Johnson, Herbert Johnson, Helen Heitzman, David Moberg, Jeanette Peterson, Muriel Salmonson, Sara Mae Swensson and Maurice Valine, news reporters; and Caroline Dilgard, Jeanette Peterson, and Rodger Rendahl, feature writers. In the second semester Alice Schou-weiler assumed the du ties of editor-in-chief. To Dallas West was given the task of publishing the Daily News Service. Miss Enid Platts was editorial advisor. Those who served on the business staff were: Archie Johnson, business manager; Gerald Larson, advertising assistant; Hazelle Fos-sum and Doris Johnson, circulation assistants; and Dean Emery John-son, business advisor. Not only has the Clarion served as a record of student activities and opinions, but it has given practical experience and a sense of co-operation and responsibility to the members of the staff. For this rea-son the Clarion has served a two-fold purpose. Thirty-severs S VOTE1211C1 OTEni iCi Words make us live as personalities; they reveal us to others. Speech is the greatest medium of communication God has given us. Bethel's speech activities of the past year have aimed to aid us in thus communicating our thoughts and ideas to others. The men's debate teams were composed of Gunnar Hoglund and Dale Bjork, and Kenneth Norquist and Melvin Swanson. Ruth Elaine Lundquist and Joyce Nelson comprised the women's team. Under the competent leadership of Miss Plaits, these groups met several colleges to debate the Pi Kappa Delta question, -Resolved that the nations of the Western Hemisphere form a permanent union." Practice debates were held with Concordia College, Hamline University, College of St. Thomas, and the University of Minnesota School of Agriculture. The highlight of the season was a trip to Fargo, N. D., to partici-pate in the Red River Valley speech tournament held at Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn. The first men's debate team, the women's team, Miriam Johanson, and Miss Platts were privileged to attend. Both teams were put to work in six rounds of debate. As winners of a contest held at school shortly before the tournament, Gunnar Hog-lund and Miriam Johanson entered the extemporaneous speaking con-. test at the same tournament. Thirty-five colleges from seven states entered two hundred contestants. Bethel was one of the two junior colleges taking part. Among the other outstanding features of debating activities were a pre-season tournament at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, and a la ter trip to the tournament a c River Falls, Wiscon-sin. The River Falls trip was financed by the Forensic Club through Thirty-eight the sale of ice cream, candy, and even hamburgers, waffles, and coffee (Miss Platts' special) at the school basketball games. Gunnar Hog-lund is chairman of the club and Joyce Nelson is secretary-treasurer. On March 27 the speech classes visited the St. Paul Auditorium when Dr. Denney came to town with his Town Meeting of the Air. This was an excellent first-hand opportunity to study good discussion technique. On March 26 an interpretative reading contest was held in the Seminary Chapel. The judge's decisions gave first place to Helen Heitzman in the poetry reading division, Laverne Berglund for short story, and Joyce Johnson in drama. Second place in these same divi-sions was awarded to Betty Anderson, Helen Heitzman and Ruth Elaine Lundquist. Thirty-nine These varied experiences have contributed greatly in helping the students to follow Paul's exhortation to develop -sound speech, that can-not be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us. - Winners of interpretative reading contest . . .

The daily Chapel hour in both the Seminary and the College has come to mean much to the spiritual lives of the student body. This time of the day especially set apart for a quiet time of worship in the midst of school routine embodies in a real manner the spirit and purpose of Bethel. The spiritual atmosphere and attitude of worship in these chapel services have been achieved through thoughtfully planned programs. Several of the chapel periods were worship services planned and pre-sented by the students. At intervals during the year the Seminary seniors have spoken. At the other services our speakers were men whose contributions to their chosen fields have been outstanding. Pastors of the Twin City churches and visiting evangelists were among those who brought messages. In the College these Chapel services have been directed by Prof. A. J. Wingblade, and in the Seminary Prof. Adolf Olson has led. The week preceding Easter was designated this year as Religious Emphasis Week. In the Chapel services during that week, Rev. Reu-ben Nelson presented a series of challenges on the theme, "I Face the Cross. - To mention the names of all those who have spoken in our Chapel services would be an impossible task, but the inspiration and blessing found in these daily periods of meditation have become a part of the lives of the students at Bethel.

In both the wo-men's and the men's physical education classes teams have battled for supremacy, and the winning freshman and sophomore teams have played each other amid heightened. class enthusiasm. Volleyball, basketball, and softball were the specific sports occupy-ing the gym classes. Whether their names meant anything or not, the Dead End Kids played the Plugs or the Cowboys and the Infants scored heavily on the Buzzers. Archery was introduced this year at Bethel and the sophomore gym classes learned the intricacies of shooting arrows straight. Next year all the classes will be instructed in this sport. The ex-officio sports, horse-shoe and ping-pong, occupied hours of time that perhaps could have been more profitably spent on studies— but much less enjoyably. The ping-pong tournament in the winter climaxed the growing interest in the sport, and Gus Ferre walked off with the honors. Horseshoes had its hour in the lazy spring days. In cooperation with the Student Council, the band and the cheer-leaders have endeavored to make the student body more sports con-scious by the use of pep assemblies.

Winter finds us in the latter half of the first semester, when the going is rough and vacations lure our thoughts. Christmas finally came—and with it the annual school party plan-ned by the B. W. A. Leona Pearson and Truman Halvorsen vividly depicted an old Swedish couple—too vividly—everything they said was in Swedish. Our own little "Tom tegubben" gave out airplanes and fingernail files to all the good little boys and girls. Dean Johnson received a roll of paper for "bigger and longer"' zoology exams—and oh, tragedy!--he used it. Our Student Council collaborated with Old Man Winter and plan-ned the all-school sleigh ride. We were all more or less wet blankets on the affair, but nothing could dampen our spirits—and we certainly "whetted" our appetites. On the all-school basketball trip to New Ulm, a loyal delegation proudly flaunted Bethel's colors in enemy territory. Margaret Erickson tossed her baton just to make them sure that Bethel could do any-thing— anything but win the game.

This year the Chorus traveled to churches in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa to present their concert. Accompanying them were Roland Julien of the MacPhail School of Music as pianist and Prof. Adolf Ol-son, who brought the greetings from Bethel. Gordon Peterson was student director. After the regular tour the Chorus presented concerts at the Park Avenue Covenant Church of Minneapolis, the Visitor's Day program at Bethel, and in Cambridge, Minnesota. The director of the Chorus, George Hultgren, is well-known as a soloist and as a teacher. During the summer months he is a guest instructor at the University of Southern California. In the Twin Cities he is known as an instructor in the MacPhail School of Music and as director of the Minneapolis A Cappella Choir. At the beginning of the year, the Chorus warmly welcomed the new members at the "formal" initiation in Keller Park. On St. Pat-rick's Day the Male Chorus was invited by the Arian Chorus to a party. But thoughts of the tour bring recollections of certain other interesting experiences—"direct challenges," "Agnes," and . . . you remember the rest. The officers of the Chorus for the past year have been: Carl Holm-berg, president; Truman Halvorsen, vice president; John Valine, secre-tary; Alrik Blomquist, treasurer; Robert Perrin, financial secretary; and Dale Bjork, librarian.

Though a new organization this year, the Arian Chorus, through the instruction of Prof. George Hultgren, has developed a repertoire of selections for a large number of occasions. The Chorus was organ-ized last fall to fill the need for a singing organization for women at Bethel and to provide another channel for the praise of God in song. Professor Hultgren's skilled interpretation has molded the voices of the members into a finished Chorus. Already in this first year the Chorus has appeared in the First Baptist Church of St. Paul and the Lake Harriet Baptist Church in Minneapolis. The repertoire of the Arian Chorus has varied from the light, fanciful air of "Listen to the patter of the rain" and the delicate imagery of "Butterflies wrapped in their dew-proof veils" to the majestic dignity and challenge of "Send forth Thy Spirit, 0 Lord, that we may praise Thee." During the year the Bethel Women's Federation made robes for the Chorus. At all future appearances the Chorus will be robed. The social event of the year was the St. Patrick's Day party held together with the Male Chorus. With Joyce Johnson as president and student director, the Chorus organized itself this year with Mary Anne Liljenstrom as vice president, Sara Mae Swensson as secretary, and Hazelle Fossum as treasurer.

Every spring the Student Publications Office is the scene of busy activity as final plans and layouts for the Spire are being completed. This year the Spire has been planned as a complete picture and para-graph record of the entire school year at Bethel. More than that, it is presented as an appreciation for Dr. Hagstrom's long service. Early in the year Lemuel Petersen was appointed by the student body as Editor-in-Chief. When Lem found it necessary to discontinue school, the position of Editor was assumed by Elving Anderson. As-sisting him were Betty White, managing editor; Jeanette Peterson, class editor; Lucille Peterson, faculty editor; and Betty Danielson, art editor. Gene Nyman accepted the task of gathering the material and prepar-ing the sketch of Dr. Hagstrom's life. Other students who assisted in the writing of articles were: Olga Anderson, Helen Heitzman, Miriam Johanson, Paul Lundgren„ Gene Nyman, Merriam Olson, Muriel Peter-sen, Rodger Rendahl, and Muriel Salmonson. Serving for the second year as pictorial editor, Clifford Bjorklund covered every corner of the campus with camera and flashbulbs to present to Spire readers the informal pictures of school activities. Mary Anne Liljenstrom was given the task of handling the "book's" business. During the early sales campaign, a staff of ten girls solicited the student body for subscriptions. Archie Johnson assisted on the business staff as advertising manager. Miss Enid Platts served as literary advisor of the publication, and Dean Emery Johnson as the business advisor.

The Missionary Band_ was organized for the purpose of promoting the missionary vision and interest at Bethel. It has accomplished this purpose through monthly meetings, study groups, prayer meetings, cor- respondence with missionaries, and cooperation with the missionary programs of other schools. The monthly meetings have been not only thought-provoking but inspirational. At the first meeting Dr. Ewald Chalberg presented "The Challenge of Missions" to the students. Miss Linnea Nelson, in another meeting, told of the difficulties that the war has brought to student work in Shanghai, China. One of the outstanding meetings was the one at which Rev. John Bahuth, an Arabian Christian, spoke about the problems which have arisen during the development of Christianity in Palestine. These and other meetings have brought about a more prac-tical relationship between the students and missions. The Missionary Band has also cooperated with other student groups through the Students' Missionary Conference. This group held their annual rally at the St. Paul Bible Institute at the beginning of the year. This same Students' Conference went to Medicine Lake for their Spring Retreat, the high point of the Missionary Band's activities. Here the speakers, Rev. Bernhard A. Helland, missionary to the Santals of India, and Paul Lindell of the World Mission Prayer League, brought the messages which led many to give themselves anew to the task of proclaiming the message of Salvation. Members of the Missionary Band showed their interest in missions in a definite way by sending a gift of over one hundred dollars for the support of mission stations which have been orphaned by the war. The executive committee for the year included: William Hagstrom, president; Elving Anderson, vice president; Leona Pearson, secretary; and Miriam Johanson, treasurer. Prof. Adolf Olson was advisor for the group. Forty-nine /** ff-k` As, vs% fi aiEgaff and annil Tennis and baseball have assumed prominence as the leading spring sports at Bethel. Last year the Bethel tennis team tied with Rochester Junior College for the first place in the Southern Minnesota Junior College Conference. This year, for the first time in its history, this Conference held an all-day tennis tournament with Concordia Junior College of St. Paul as host. The success of this tourney presages future meets of like nature. When Coach William Adam issued his initial call for baseball candidates this season, two full nines reported for practice. Seven of the squad were returning lettermen, with the majority of the remainder coming from the frosh ranks. The roster included the following: Tru-man Halvorsen, Val Hauk, Warren Johnson, Lowell Marquardt, Francis McOlash, Olaf Nelson and Gordon Peterson, lettermen, and Herbert Johnson, Edwin Nelson, Gene Nyman, Herschel Rogers, Glen Swanson and Conrad Tedlund, new members. Because of inclement weather in April, Coach Adam was unable to bring his charges outside until short-ly before their first game. As the season progressed, the rough spots disappeared and the team clicked as a unit. A twelve game schedule was played against such opposition as the Macalester and Fort Snelling nines, and against the S. M. J. C. foes—Waldorf, Concordia, Luther, and Bethany. 001#Er aamd, Under the leadership of Dale Bjork, vice-president of the Religious Council, the Bethel Gospel teams have been actively engaged in proclaiming the Word of God during the 1940- 41 school year. In their work of spreading the gospel, each team has filled approximately three assign-ments every month. Meetings have been con-ducted in missions, old people's homes, young people's societies, and country and city churches. In addition, members of the Gospel teams have distributed over six thousand tracts, thus bringing the message of Salva-tion to many who are not reached by other methods. Not only have the Gospel teams served as a means of displaying Bethel's spirit of eag-erness to win the unsaved and to encourage Christians, but they have also proved valu-able io the individual members of the teams by giving them opportunities to use their tal-ents in a worthwhile manner. During the first semester the eighty-five stu-dents enlisted on Gospel teams were led by Clifford Bjorklund, Gunnar Hoglund, Gordon Johnson, Olaf Nelson, Ben Sherman, and Mel-vin Swanson. During the second semester the four team leaders were: Robert Dischinger, Archie John-son, Kenneth Norquist and Stamford Widen. Fifty Fifty-one In the spring comes our period of least resistance, and spring it is when tradition and experience have it that another severe malady "spring fever" ar-rives. But school must go on. The speech department went to the only local broadcast of the "Town Meet-ing of the Air", when Doctor Denney taught them all about discussion tech-nique. The Frosh presented "Professor Eddie Kayshun and his Question Heirs'' with dire consequences for all wrong answers —all to the time of a little German band. In B. W. A. they really put on the "dog"—on buns served up in style by two young - misses". The zoology students were not the only ones who ambled frequently to Como Park and its conservatory. Pictures of the Army Air Corps topped the Men's Night program and caused many lads a flight of fancy. Exclusive was the word for the soph class program—with flowers, form-als, and song. They presented the Minneopolis A Capella Choir under the direction of George Hultgren. Meet the editors! You will recognize them by their careworn, harrassed look and blue-circled eyes. Twenty-one students attended the Missionary Retreat at Medicine Lake. The missionary challenge presented by the speakers rekindled latent interest in missions. Two of the most important spring events—subordinate to exams, of course—are the frosh sponsored J. S. and the all-school picnic. Those who attended last year's picnic at Taylor's Falls—well picnics are picnics! Gently the steam wheezes up the night-chilled pipes into the radiators of the silent dormitory . . the time is 6:20 . . . tousled heads burrow deep into the pillows for the last coveted moments of slumber . . . 6:28 . . . a lone alarm clock rattles off its unwelcomed announcement of the dawn. A hand automatically bangs down the silencer and a sleepy figure slides out of the quilts and starts for the door. At the dresser he picks up a good-sized brass bell and, as the 6:30 buzzer rings, he steps out into the hall, and blares forth almost angrily, -Daylight in the swamp. - With this announcement he paces down the hall, ferociously clanging the bell. For the next half hour the scene is one of bleary eyes, running water, banging doors, razor blades, and soap suds. 7:00 . . . The breakfast bell rings and of course there is the inevitable sleepyhead who got up just five minutes ago and is trying to make breakfast . . Then quiet for most of the day, that is except when some faithful soul, who has made positively sure that no one else is going to answer the tele-phone, rushes to the booth, lifts the receiver, and yells, "Paging Johnson. Telephone for Johnson." After 6:30 in the evening the real activity of the dorm begins. Supper has been tucked away, prayer meeting is over, it is still a long while until bedtime, and one might as well frolic a little to keep from deteriorating into a mere book worm. Paulson's voice echoes down the hall, "Everybody out for clean volley ball," or down the hall someone emerges from his room decked out in his Sunday-best. "Oh! Oh! Date again tonight?" Again quiet . . . until at ten o'clock . . . "Hey, is anyone going down to the coffee shop? And so the "Johnny-on-the-job" for the evening trots down to the -Midtown- for pop and pies or to the bakery for left-over rolls to dunk in the hot chocolate. At 10:30, when the doors begin to slam again, the dorm comic may be heard shouting, - Hey, fellows, only eight hours and twenty-five minutes 'til breakfast."

His sunny disposition, that has chased the shadows out of Bethel's halls many a day, will be greatly missed when he leaves. ALRIK BLOMQUIST "Hail to thee, blithe spirit" is sung to a lark and to Blomquist. He has dignity-ah, yes! But it's his cheerful, willing ways that have won us to "Quist." CLAYTON BOLINDER Determination said, "His name shall be Rev. Clayton Bolinder, B.A., B.D. So in-stead of graduating with his class, Clayton went on to college and graduates this year with his Bachelor of Divinity degree. HILTON HANSON Throughout college and Seminary, one always associates the "man from Britt" with his books. As a result, "H.

He has the honor of being the last student to receive all his education from Bethel, from the Academy through the Seminary. VIRGIL OLSON "A soul of power, a well of lofty thought" —his is a depth of character. His sprightly wit and lyric song have touched lives and made them richer. GORDON PETERSON Who is Gordy? Why, he's that star athlete, that fellow who used to be editor of the Clarion, the one who has directed so many of Bethel's musical programs. And more too—he's a real friend. STANLEY RENDAHL A beaming, blustering blade with a generous nature, hearty laugh, and a broad grin—that's Stan. These, and his cooperation and perseverance, have made him a person well-known and well-liked. EARL SHERMAN Industrious? Yes, but "The General" is also a dashing, dauntless Scotchman whose ringing laughter leaves many an echo in Bethel's corridors. WINSTON SHERWICK "Handicap is no hindrance," says Win as he persistently plugs his way through. In the reading room or in the coffee shoppe, he engages in witty banter or scholarly comment as the occasion re-quires. VERN SLATER An energetic chap with a warm hand-clasp and a radiant smile. His industry and initiative make him a vital part of any group. JOHN VALINE Coming straight from Glory (that's where he is pastor), this gentleman of the booming bass voice lends his vitality and lively wit to many an activity.

A thorough scholar, hers is the perseverance that brings success. ARLENE JOHNSON La Petite—and calmly poised, "Ar" is a quiet person whose charming personality is the envy of her friends. Her scholastic abilities and effi-cient capabilities have led her activities into all fields. JOYCE JOHNSON She is different! Joyce is an avid collector of everything, including friends. Her sense of humor is effervescent and the victims of her practical jokes have been numerous, but she also loves to discuss the deeper problems of life.

"Hersch" is serious, but a pair of twinkling gray eyes betray his facetiousness. VIOLA WAIHELA Individualism is the keynote of Vi's person-ality. It expresses itself in an Eastern accent in everything she does and says. Irrepressible, enthusiastic, and efficient, she has won a host of friends.

To Willard this motto has become a reality. He came back this second semester, after an illness, to complete his college work and con-tinue in the Seminary. gfiTeE cS'coTE EaT1 and gE12 cf74 EcaciE of J To9zEi5 Seventy years! It is a long time—yet with the close of this school year, we commemorate the seventieth anniversary of our Theological Seminary. It was in 1871 that the first student of Bethel Seminary, Christopher Silene, arrived in Chicago in answer to a call to the ministry. There he found Dr. J. A. Edgren who, realizing the great need for a trained ministry among our Baptist people, had announced that he would open a theological school for those who understood the Swedish language and desired to devote their lives to the preaching of the Gospel. Many of the difficulties of this early beginning will never be known, but nevertheless the school grew and in the spring of 1874 sent out its first graduate, Nels Havland. In 1877, the Baptist Union Seminary moved with its Scandinavian department to Morgan Park, a suburb of Chicago. Seven years later the Swedish Baptists organized a school of their own in St. Paul, Minnesota for the edu.cation of their ministers. However, after only one year, the school moved to Stromsburg, Nebraska. In the fall of 1888, be-cause of minor difficulties, the Seminary was again moved to Morgan Park where Dr. C. G. Lagergren from Sweden assumed duties as dean of the Swedish department. in the year 1914 the Seminary was moved once more from Chicago to St. Paul, where it was consolidated with the Bethel Academy, which had been established in 1905. Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom was elected president of this combined Institute in the same year and has held that position until the present time. During these years 461 people have graduated from our school. Eighty-one of these graduates are workers or appointees in foreign missionary service. Eqch has praised God for every service he has been able to render in His kingdom and has sown the seed that it might bear the fruit of eternal life in many lands. And the future--may the next seventy years be as fruitful in the great task of building for God. This year also marks the anniversary of another department of Bethel Institute, the Junior College. Ten years ago the Swedish Baptist General Conference realized their need for a junior college that would place the preparatory training for the Seminary on a higher level as well as offer to our Baptist young people an opportunity to receive the first two years of college training in a Christian environment and from a Christian faculty. The Junior College established then found its home with the Academy which had been established twenty-six years previously. G. Arvid Hag-strom was president of this new institution and Walfred Danielson, who had served several periods in educational and missionary service in Assam, was appointed dean. Dean Danielson held this position for five years until our present dean, Emery Johnson, assumed the responsibility. The Academy, which had served the denomination for thirty years as a preparatory school, was discontinued in 1935. In this same year a Christian Workers' Course was organized as a department of the Junior College to replace the Bible and Missionary Training Department, which had served as the training school for lay leaders since 1922. The Junior College has been steadily advancing and growing each year since its founding. The school began with twenty-two students in 1931 and now has 159. Already 122 have graduated from the two year course and many have gone on to schools of higher education. Student life in any school is so close and intimate that it has a vital influence upon lives. But where this life is pervaded with the Christian spirit, as in Bethel, its helpfulness is assured. Many of the students who have frequented these halls during the ten years of the college bear the testimony that the course of their lives was either changed or directed anew through the influence of Bethel. In this manner Bethel Junior College has been filling a definite place in the field of education and in the work of the Lord. Sixty Sixty-one -S'cfioof Eoazci • • • c:42,1 tfiE SjulittE Dr. J. 0.

A very important part in the administration of our school through-out the latter part of these seventy years has been played by the Corn-mittee on Education of the Swedish Baptist General Conference of America. The main function of this Board are to supervise the school's activities and to form the tie between the Conference and the school. A business meeting is held each month by the Executive Board of the Committee with J. G. Johnson of Minneapolis as chairman. Other officers are: Carl G. Burton, St. Paul, vice-chairman; Walter Olson, Stanchfield, secretary; and Thor Knutson, Minneapolis, treasurer. Additional members of the Committee are: Alfred Anderson, Min-neapolis; Lowell Anderson, Seattle, Washington; Dr. Ewald Chalberg, Minneapolis; Alvin Clauson, Forest City, Iowa; Alphin Conrad, Will-mar, Minnesota; Mary Danielson, St. Paul; Walfred Danielson, Verona, New Jersey; G. A. Gustayson, Rockford, Illinois; W. G. Holmberg, Albert Lea, Minnesota; Mrs. Harold Johnson, Minneapolis; Robert Klingberg, Seattle, Washington; Ernest Nelson, Isanti, Minnesota; Jacob Nelson, Bridgeport, Connecticut; Marvin Samuelson, St. Paul; Nels Swanson, St. Paul; William Tapper, Duluth, Minnesota; and Dr. C. R. Wall, Min-neapolis. Of these, the following have served as chairmen of committees: Faculty, Dr. C. R. Wall; Finance, Thor Knutson; Buildings and Grounds, Alfred Anderson; Special Promotion, Dr. Carl G. Burton; and Building, Dr. Burton. As one of its projects during the past year, the Board has super-vised the planning for the womens dormitory. The promotion of the dormitory met with enthusiastic response and plans call for its com-pletion this fall. Sixty-two For twenty-five years a women's dormitory has been the aim of Bethel supporters. As early as 1916, Miss Margreta Bodine, the first president of the Bethel Women's Federation, realized the need for such a dormitory and urged. its construction. This spring that dream was started toward fulfillment as workmen removed the first shovelsful of dirt from the site on the corner of Arona and Arlington Avenues which has been secured for the building. The dormitory is being built in agreement with a General Confer-ence decision and the final decision of the Executive Board. The esti-mated cost has been set at $40,000 unfurnished. Of this amount, $39,000 has been underwritten and over half has already been received in cash. According to the plans, the finished structure will include fifteen double rooms and eight single rooms as well as other facilities for a total of fifty girls. Several of these rooms will be furnished by individ-uals as memorial to loved ones. Other rooms will be furnished by the Women's Federation of the Twin Cities. The building will be one that embodies cherished dreams, loving memories, and high ideals. Mr. Howard. Skoglund is the architect in charge of building. The building committee of the School Board includes: Dr. Carl G. Burton, chairman, Alfred Anderson, Alphin Conrad, Miss Mary Danielson, Mrs. Harold Johnson, Thor Knutson, and H. C. Wingblade. The building of the women's dormitory is not only a fulfillment of a long-cherished dream, but it marks a great advancement in the growth of our school. It seems fitting that this, the seventieth year of our school, should thus introduce a great forward step. As such, the new dormitory brings the hope of future advancements in the work of serving the Lord. Sixty-three Lofty ideas for the Spire . . . The next lesson is . . . Headquarters . . .
