A year to remember. A year of study, of happy fellowship, of learning while serving. A year in which we worked for Jesus and He worked in us. A year in which we bacame more "His" and His will became more of a reality in our lives. Green trees changed to yellow and soon, it seemed, we hurried out with cameras to get pictures of the first snow. The campus draped in white was a memory we took with us on Christmas Vacation and now once more the soft brown earth shows. Pictures and words can only give a faint idea of the way a year at Bethel has widened the horizon of our minds, the joy of "talk over coffee", or the fun of cheering for the team at a game. Pictures and words can't reproduce our concerts, our chapel programs, our plays, busy committee meetings, and classes. A year at Bethel — for some the last. Now they will go forth as Bethel graduates and find in new paths the truths they dis-covered here — how God's hands work with our hands to make the life He has in mind. Page 4 -5cad toc herever students gather to discuss their days at Bethel, it is almost certain that the name of Miss Effie Nelson will be mentioned as a favorite teacher. Her quick wit and humor have won for her a place in the hearts of all students in her German classes who appreciate her both as a real friend and able teacher. In her capacity as Dean of Women, Miss Nelson has shown by her friendly manner in counselling and ad-vising that the girls on Bethel's campus are "her girls". Even in matters of necessary discipline the girls have found her to be most considerate and fair in her de-cisions. These friendly qualities, coupled with a clear and warm Christian testimony at all times, whether in class or in the Coffee Shop, have endeared Miss Nelson to all of her students and faculty colleagues. Her faithful service and willingness to cooperate in any way possible with the campus activities of her students have been a constant reminder and challenge to others that Miss Nelson leaves little to be desired as a Christian teacher. Therefore, we lovingly dedicate the 1951 SPIRE to our friend and teacher, Miss Effie V. Nelson. Deicate to .. . Effie V. Nelson Page 6 Page 7 7ite epptiptatti Tie Colle9e Page 8 ,.. Elmin Forssell "3or we are ills worktiamship created in Christ Jesus unto good works...." Ephesians 2:10 usJ MEMORIAM This year another student has been called home from our campus. Our hearts were left sorrowing at the passing of our friend and fellow classmate, Elmin Forssell. We shall always re-member his outstanding talents which included a beautiful voice and superior mind. We recall that his whole being was a perfection of God's creative power. Reason prohibits our understanding God's choice in calling when Elmin was on the brink of a life of service. The Psalmist has said, "As for God, His way is perfect". We imbed Elmin's memory in our hearts as a channel where God leads to greater paths of service. Administration Page 12 OUR PRESIDENT DR. HENRY C. WINGBLADE Page 14 DEAN OF THE COLLEGE C. EMANUEL CARLSON The day of graduation has proved to be a day of keen disappointment in the experiences of many college students. Having worked hard for four years toward an objective upon which all energies were focussed, they arrived only to find that graduation did not produce those over-whelming delights which had been anticipated. There was neither a pot of gold nor a haven of peace at the end of the rainbow. Upon graduation, however, I wish each of you the satisfaction of a realization that you are equipped for more work and for harder work than you were when you started your college career. If, in addition, you have found a sense of direction in life, a sense of obligation and dependence, which calls for the full use of your capacities, your college days will have been worthwhile. Growth is a divine law and a divine method. This law ends at the grave, and not at com-mencement. When you have explored the Lord's potentials and the Lord's imperatives, you are ready for service. DEAN OF THE SEMINARY EDWIN J. OMARK "A good minister of Jesus Christ." These words of the Apostle Paul express an ideal and a chal-lenge to every Seminary student. You Seniors who go directly into pastoral or missionary work will particularly sense a burden of responsibility, than which there is none greater. To win and watch over the souls of men, this is your task. Bring to it your deep devotion, sanctified gifts and trained minds. Seek not ease nor the praise of men but only the will of God. Then He will bless your ministry, and those of us who have our posts of duty here at Bethel will pray and cheer you on.

Both Dean Carlson and President Wingblade gave talks aimed at giving the new students advice for a good start. Gene Johnson enriched his messages by his original chalk drawings. As guest speaker Roger Youngquist, a former Bethelite and present General Conference pastor, had much of help and inspiration to offer. Upperclassmen under the chairmanship of Jim Rentz hod planned a full schedule. Testimony meetings and the Sunday afternoon panel discussion gave Bethel newcomers a chance to hear what their new friends were thinking and an active sports and social program helped them get thoroughly acquainted. Saturday night's fun night featured a play "Little Nell" with such stars as Ronnie Johnson as Nell and Al Windham as hero. At the candlelight testimony service one new stu-dent after another testified how God had brought them to Bethel and told something of what they knew He wanted to do with their lives. Roger Youngquist Page 67 Concentration on ping pong Counselor's play Step right up Greenies look for mail Registration Page 68 DEEPER LIFE WEEK Talk of revival was everywhere in the Twin City Area when the posters first appeared on the bulletin boards announcing Dr. J. Edwin Orr as our deep life speaker from September 25-29. The religious council chose II Chronicles 7:14 for the theme of the week and an air of expectancy awaited the Irish-born evangelist. Dr. Orr in a past visit to Bethel in the Spring of 1949, had seen what he believed to be the beginning of a student revival movement which is still active in the Christian and secular schools of our country. Revival was a pertinent thing to Dr. Orr and he had much of significance to say about it both as a current movement and as something pertinent to our individual lives. Page 69 Page 70 Page 71 COMING '50 HOME A pudgy Indian Squaw stood outside her tent on the lawn of Bodien Residence des-tined to win the dorm decoration award for the girls. Transformed cars encircled the red brick buildings. Bethel's Home-coming for 1951 was well under way. The night before, Host and Hostess How-ard Carlson and Florence Nordstrom had welcomed returning alumni at a program where Missionary Dale Blork, then recently returned from China, talked on the state of the church there. The Junior class added to the China interest by a skit depicting the struggle of a young Chinese student with Communism. A bonfire and pep rally had prepares all for the afternoon's football game where Bethel beat Northland 13 to 7. Members of chapel choir went home victorious on two accounts, as they bore away the float trophy. Saturday evening's meeting introduced Bethelites to a trio they were to hear much of in the year to come—Valdeko Kangro, Kaljo Raid, and Mildred Bisgrove. Stanley Paulson gave the message of the evening. The alumni lost to the varsity in the basket-ball game which followed. Students did all they could to give the alumni a homecoming that would live up to its theme, "For His Glory."

Selections by Buxtehude, H?ndel, Brahms and an original compos-ition by Mr. Raid were given. We thank God for these artists and consider our-selves fortunate to have their talent in our midst. Miss Susan Rusinko Page 77 THE SERVANT IN THE HOUSE The Junior Class presentation for this year was a three-act play written by Charles Rann Ken-nedy. The setting — England, the date — the early 1900's, the time — an early morning in Spring. The story centered around Manson, a butler in the home of Reverend William Smythe, and the incidents which led to the strange reunion of three brothers. Under the capable direction of Miss Rusinko, and with the fine acting of the cast, "The Servant in the House" was enjoyed by all. The cast included Arnold Regier, Willard Hed-berg, Ann Radunz, Mary Quernemoen, Don Barn-hill, Don Lindgren, and Tom Persson. >; .. <~;: The December meeting of the Swedish Club was an evening of music featuring a trio and a quartet from the second year Swedish class. Axel Bjurholm who had just come from Sweden gave a short talk on the country and its people. A candlelight Smorgasbord ended the evening which was enjoyed by everyone who attended. CHRISTMAS PARTIES FRESHMAN BANQUET The freshmen turned out in good number for their big night of the year. The dining hall took on a new festive air as their dinner began. Jim Rentz was borrowed from the Seminary for Mas-ter of Ceremonies. Speaker for the evening was Myron Voth of the St. Paul Bible Institute who gave a stirring message woven around the theme the freshmen had chosen: "We Are His Workmanship". Vocal and instrumental music was provided by members of the freshman class. Pat Noland and Don Richardson put their best dramatic selves into their different readings. Those who attended reported a refreshing spirit-ual time as a result of their getting together. Featured at the German Club Christmas party was a newly formed German band. Christmas carols were sung by the entire club and special vocal numbers were presented. Hannah Plaut told of her childhood Christmas experiences in Germany. The meeting was closed by the sing-ing of "Stille Nacht" accompanied by Hannah and her guitar. Lunch was served in the dining hall. After a delicious lunch around gaily decorated tables, the Spanish Club had their Christmas party in the recreation room of the Men's Dorm. Vocal music was given by a quartet. A Christ-mas skit, in Spanish, was presented by several members of the club. Christmas carols were sung and as a climax to the meeting, the Pinata was broken, and the scattered candy on the floor was quickly picked up by the group. STUDENT FELLOWSHIP One of the highlights of the student fellowship meetings this year was the program presented by the Palermo Brothers. Louie and Phil sang many favorite hymns in English, Swedish and Italian, and their selections on the accordian and guitar were enjoyed by everyone. They had many interesting stories to tell of their experi-ences in Italy where they had recently conducted an evangelistic tour. Those who attended re ceived a blessing and saw the need of that country which is so hungry for the marvelous message of Jesus Christ. There were many other interesting and inspir-ational student meetings. Several outstanding films were presented during the year's activities, including "Lord of All" and John Bunyan's "Pil-grim's Progress". Page 80 Page 81 Camp Iduhapi saw a new, but never a jollier bunch of sophomores, as another class arrived on a cold January day for their annual retreat. Especially ambitious, this robust lot walked the last mile in the snow dragging their suitcases behind them. The theme: "That I May Know Him" was made a realization as classmates worshipped and fellow-shipped together. Messages were brought by Warren Magnuson, guest speaker. Skating, skiing, tobogganing were the sports of the day. Morning devotions and vesper services provided the spiritual background. Al Windham presided as master of ceremonies at a talent program Saturday night. Besides the varied vocal and instrumental numbers, War-ren Magnuson delighted everyone with a humor-ous reading in which he portrayed a Negro preacher being ordained. Sophomores all agreed that it had been a re-freshing time from which they could return with new vigor to books and "things like that". S O P H O M O R E RETREAT Page 82 Page 83 Missionary Week at Bethel turned our eyes to foreign fields — India, Japan, China — white for the harvest. By films, by displays, by messages from recently returned workers, we were once more made aware that the gospel of Christ was for all the world. Making up a versatile band of missionaries were August Berg, Sten Lindberg, Eric Frykenberg, Dale Bjork and Bengt Anderson. These men from many different fields found time not only to speak in chapel and evening services, but also to hold conferences about missionary work with individuals and groups. Dale Bjork gave a realistic but challenging pic-ture of China and the effects of Communism in this field. All the missionaries were intensely aware of the part missions was playing and the part it could play in current world affairs. Much practical advice was given for those considerin,, the foreign field or any Christian service — ad-vice which was essentially what we needed to die to self and live every moment for Christ and His work.

Pastors and laymen from coast to coast, includ-ing some well-known seminary professors, flock-ed to Bethel's halls for the Founder's Week pro-gram celebrating the Seminary's eightieth year. The dates chosen coincided with the birthday of John Alexis Edgren, founder of the Seminary. Representing other seminaries were Dr. Clarence Roddy of Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Philadelphia; Dr. Harold Lindsell of Fuller Theo-logical Seminary, Pasadena; and Dr. Lloyd Perry of Northern Baptist Seminary, Chicago. Former president of the Northern Baptist Con-vention, Earl V. Pierce, was also among the speakers. Two speakers familiar to Bethelites were Curtis Akenson and Sten Lindberg. Ed Nelson represented God's Invasion Army and Arthur Christenson the work of the Baptist Gen-eral Conference in California. Bethel professors who took part were Bernard Ramm and Clifford Larson. Dr. Ramm gave the message on the theme which had been chosen for the week, "Remember Jesus Christ". With such men of God as these, the days could not help but be a time of inspiration and re-newed consecration for the many pastors and Christian workers who attended.

Page 87 DEEPER LIFE WEEK Coming to Bethel as a familiar speaker Carl Lundquist left his busy Chicago pastorate to be the Spring Deeper Life Week speaker. Mid-quarters were post-poned as students made time in their schedules to attend the meetings. Much prayer was made before the week began, including an all school prayer meet-ing, asking that God would speak to many hearts. Rev. Lundquist portrayed a real understanding of young people and their problems and tried to meet them in his daily chapel and vesper talks. In a humble and direct way he met many of the student's spiritual needs. Many students took advantage of the oppor-tunity to have prayer with Rev. Lundquist and profited by his personal counsel. Many expressed the joy of finding a deeper life in Christ. A deeper sense of the meaning of spiritual living pervaded the campus after the meetings were over, evidence that God had outpoured His blessings in a real way. PROSPECTIVE Nearly two hundred prospective students made their way to Bethel for the special days when they would be guests of the administration. The "prospectives" were made to feel at home, welcomed in both dormitories and classes, and kept busy by special social activities. During this time the famed Coffee Cup Game was held and the trophy awarded to the victorious Chapel Choir team. The faculty had their fun at the end of the third quarter when the ladies of the faculty provided refresh-ments for them. Friday evening was given to a duo-piano recital featuring professors Mildred Bisgrove and C. Howard Smith. This was followed by a singspiration. An afternoon program to acquaint "prospectives" with the school included a play, a debate on the place of television in the life of a Christian, and a vocational guidance movie. STUDENT DAYS Pictured here are Joyce Martinson from Manis-tique, Michigan and Richard Harris from Seattle, Washington, as they made their way around the campus and the city. Page 88 Page 89 SEMINARY BANQUET The 1950 Seminary banquet, held in Dayton's Red Room, was easily the highlight of the year. Following the theme of the ban-quet, "To Know Him and Make Him Known", Dr. W. Robert Smith, phil-osophy professor at Dubuque Uni-versity, gave a spiritual challenge which was a fitting climax to a well-planned evening. Earl VanDerVeer served as toastmaster and music was fur-nished by Ray Bodin, tenor, and Carol Landberg, violinist. SEN►OR During the first week in March seniors could be seen everywhere carrying small packs of white cards in their hands giving earnest salestalks to as many Iowerclassmen as they could find. Due to their industry many turned out to hear the Augsburg Choir in a sacred concert presented by the Senior Class as their annual program to raise money for the class gift. The young men and women from Augsburg College have traveled extensively throughout the Mid West. The evening was one where all enjoyed the spiritual inspiration of the music of the church. Those who attended felt prepared for the near Easter season because of the devout spiritual music presented.

The opportunity soon comes, for each year just before school closes there is an all-school pic-nic at Taylors Falls, fifty miles north and east of Saint Paul. Busses and cars are packed with lively "kids", and soon they are hiking around the rocky cliffs u Page 92 or canoeing in the swirling Saint Croix River. Others make good use of the too short day by play-ing softball and volley ball or just talking to their friends be-fore they have to part for the summer. The day is ended with devotions, and soon everyone is on their way home again, full of wonderful food and pleasant memories. ALL SCHOOL PICNIC As hosts to the graduating seniors and sophomores, the junior and freshman classes made sure that the graduates and friends had an enjoyable time. As usual, toasts were given, wills made, and stories told, all lending to the gaiety of the evening. Bob Man-tzke and his Holsum Bread quartette furnished the special music, and Bruce Compton of Macalester College was the main speaker. Bruce Compton Macalester College Page 95 For the second time the picturesque White Pine Inn on the banks of the Saint Croix River was chosen as the place for the colorful Graduation Banquet, more commonly referred to as the "J. S.". Those attending found the twenty mile trip to Bayport, Minnesota, where the Inn is located, well worth the trouble. The formal attire of the students was shown off to the best advantage by the charming colonial atmosphere which the Inn supplied to this, the grandest occasion of the school year. GRADUATION BANQUET BACCALAUREATE The First Baptist Church of Minneapolis was the scene of the 1950 commence-ment exercises. Half an hour of music featuring the Sacred Strings of Mr. Raid and Mr. Kangro with Professor Smith at the organ proceded the exercises. During the program special music was presented by the Chapel Choir and Male Chorus. Dr. Robert G. Lee, distinguished author, pastor, and evangelist of Mem-phis, Tennessee, was the main speaker. His message was entitled "Christ Above All". Dean C. E. Carlson presented the diplomas for the college, and Dean Ed-win Omark for the seminary. President Wingblade conferred the degrees. After the benediction the graduates left the church, diplomas in hand, facing many fields of service. The 1950 graduating class, faculty mem-bers, students and friends of the school met together on Sunday, May 21, for the annual baccalaureate service held in the college chapel at 4 P.M. President Wing-blade opened the service with prayer after which the chapel choir sang two numbers of praise and devotion. Fol-lowing this, Dean Carlson of the college and Dean Omark of the seminary read Scripture and led in Prayer. The speaker for the occasion was Rev. Lester Thomp-son from Muskegon, Michigan who de-livered a challenging message on the text, "Spring up 0 Well". After the service, refreshments were served in the dining hall.

Ephesians 2110 Athletics ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION The 1950-51 athletic program at Bethel was run very smoothly under the very capable guidance of Coaches Del Ray Peterson, Lynn Lundin, and Elmer Fischer. Peterson served as the athletic director and head basketball coach. Football mentor duties were in the competent hands of Lundin, who guided the school's gridiron men to the best record in the five years of Bethel football. Assistant coach Fischer aided in both football and basketball. Activities were also carried on in baseball, tennis ,golf, and gymnastics. The women's program consisted mainly of basket-ball. A large all-school intramural program was under the leadership of Donald Dye. Present plans call for the immediate construction of the new Bethel College Field House. This unit, urgently needed, will help improve the school's athletic setup. The new gym will consist of a regulation size basketball court, with seating on both sides of the court with a capactiy of eleven hundred persons. This gym is possible only because of the attitude of the school board, conference officials, and churches in looking into the future of the athletic program at Bethel. Athletics, usually not too prominent at Bethel, are gaining a more equal position in the forward moves of the school. FOOTBALL Young, but capable coach Lynn Lundin directed the 1950 eleven to the sparkling record of five victories and only one defeat. Handicapped in having a small squad to work with, Lundin nevertheless molded his material into a smooth-working outfit. After disposing of Rochester in the opening game, the team ran into a tough Worthington unit and suffer-ed their only loss. Then the Indians roared through the remainder of the season, rolling over Ely, Northland, Morris, and Austin. In winning five of six, the Indian gridders amassed 111 points on seventeen touchdowns. The opponents were held to only four touchdowns and a total of 27 points. In the six games over 1200 total yards were gained. Next year's prospects depend largely on the war situation and the manpower in-volved. However the 1951 squad will have a high goal to aim for — that of equaling the fine record of the 1950 team.

Bethel kicks in the opening kickoff of the year against Rochester. The Indians started the season successfully with a win. BETHEL 0, WORTHINGTON 14 Playing under the lights at Worthington, the Indians went down to their only defeat of the season by a two touchdown margin. The Worthington eleven is yearly one of the outstanding junior college teams in this area. Bethel has never defeated Worthington which uses a tricky formation called the XYZ system. Under this setup, the backfield men line up, all facing opposite directions, with only one man facing the line. Except for the first and last seconds of the game, the Indians were their opponents equal in all areas. But those two times, each covering less than a minute each were enough to send Bethel down to defeat. On Bethel's opening kickoff to Worthington, the victors evaded the entire Indian eleven and crossed the goal for their first touchdown. Then with less than a minute remaining in the final period, a Worthington pass connected from the Bethel 20 yard line for their second score. Bob Schumacker Curt Peterson halfback tackle At the halftime, Coach Lundin instructs his team as to how the second half should be played. BETHEL 40, ELY 0 Flashing a brilliant offensive attack before a dazed Ely eleven, Bethel romped home a 40-0 winner at Highland Stadium. With five men sharing in the scoring, the Indians just couldn't be stopped in their smashing runs, passes, plunges, and overall brilliant play. Duke Fredericks opened the scoring in the first period by grabbing an Ely fumble in mid air and going two yards. Next Dick Chadderdon grabbed a beautiful pass from Bob Schumacker and ran thirty four yards for the second score. The entire play covered 63 yards. Then Schumacker reeled off a 19 yard run for another TD and Chadderdon kicked the extra point to make the half score 19-0. Ron Skoog, quarterback, started the second half in sensational fashion as he took the opening kickoff 83 yards down the sidelines to give Bethel its fourth marker. - Climaxing a third period 43 yard drive, Don Sprott sprinted 19 yards for still another score. After Ray Brace recovered a fumble in the end zone to score two points, Schumacker again crossed the goal line to wind up the the scoring. His run covered 53 yards. John Viren added the extra point on a plunge to give the Indians a total of 40 points. In the season opener, the squad worked together very fine, though five of the starting eleven were newcomers. Watching Bethel win were about 500 fans. Shortly before the first half ended, the Indians scored on a perfectly executed pass play which covered 63 yards. Bob Schumacker tossed the aerial to Dick Chadderdon who scampered for the score. Chadderdon booted the extra point also. The second half found Bethel in possession of the ball most of the time in their opponents half of the field, but because of the many penalties imposed upon the Indians, they were unable to make head-way for a time. With the fourth quarter barely underway, the Indians marched twenty yards with Pals, Schumacker, and Chadderdon carrying. The final smash of one yard was made by Pals. The extra point try was wide. No progress could be made by either team for the rest of the game. Don Berggren Cliff Anderson Phil Carlson Ronald Johnson guard guard end tackle Don Spratt finds the going tough against Worthington as he is brought down by a tackler after a short gain. BETHEL 1 3, NORTHLAND 7 Coming from behind at the half, Bethel upset a favored Northland College squad to gain a Home-coming victory. Soon after the second period opened, the Indians gained possession of the pig-skin and on their first play from scrimmage, Bob Schumacker, aided by fine blocking especially by Bob Carlson who threw a key block, dashed 67 yards to score. The extra point Was missed. Later in the quarter with two minutes left, Northland scored on a pass which covered four yards. The extra point was missed. Later in the quarter with two minutes left, Northland scored on a pass which covered four yards. The extra point was good and it put Northland in front at the half, 7-6. In the third quarter, Bethel scored the only other marker of the game. The Redmen marched 33 yards in nine plays to go over for six points. Bob Schu-macker also scored this touchdown in a short plunge of three yards.

Page 107 BASKETBALL Ken Gullman guard Cliff Pals Bethel finished its 1950-51 cage season with a record fullback of eleven victories against seven losses. The team scored 1,105 points against their opponents 971 points. The cagers started off the season on the wrong foot in dropping their first three games. Superior State Teachers edged the Indians by just two points in the season's lowest scoring game and Northwestern tipped Bethel by only one. The Red-men won only two of their next five. Then the team hit upon the right combination to win nine in a row before dropping the season's finale to North Park, 70-69 at Chicago. The Indian five hit 62 points or better in all of their last ten games. They were in the sixties seven times, the seventies twice, and hit a new Bethel scoring record of 89 points against Bethany in overtime on February 9. Next in the path of the Bethel team was Morris, who soon wished they had only been onlookers, as the Indians romped over them. Clarence (Red) Anderson scored the first TD on a pass from Cliff Pals. Next, Ron Skoog scored on an eleven yard run, which was the final push of a 66 yard drive. Bob Schumacker charged twelve yards to scoring territory for the third Indian score. On the third play in the second half, Dick Chadderdon took a wide lateral and crossed the goal line on a play that completely fooled Morris. The team also scored in the last quarter to end the day's scoring. Stan Meyer quarterback Ron Nelson manager Bob Schumacher proves his running skill by eluding two would-be Morris tacklers. BETHEL 31, MORRIS 0 BETHEL 14. AUSTIN 6 A fitting climax to a great season came in this, the last game on the schedule. Both teams put on a good show for the crowd who had come out to see the night contest at Austin. Don Sprott and Ron Skoog scored the touchdowns for the victors, while Dick Chadderdon made both extra points. After three quarters, Bethel led 14-0, but Austin scored on long passes in the last period. Both teams dis-played a fierce type of football as they tackled savagely and blocked expertly. Several players on both sides were injured in the fray. Virgil Hegle end Scoring the first touchdown of the Austin game, Dick Chadderdon crosses the goal line unmolested.

Coach Fischer led his team throughout the season which was climaxed by a huge 94 point total scored against Calvary. Luther downed Bethel in the squad's initial game at New Ulm. Superior proved to be too much to handle, as the team dropped a 62-39 decision. Then came a one point win over Lowry Avenue Baptist and a two point loss to Calvary. Four victories in a row closed the season against Northwestern, Edgewater, Fourth Baptist, and Luther. Pete Unruh is sitting this one out along with several Northwestern players, and all are trying to get their hands on that ball. Captain Bud Pierce leaves the floor on this shot on the Northwestern floor. In typical B squad action, Wayne Thompson leaps to gather in a pass from one of his teammates. Faking his man completely out of position, Ralph Martin puts the ball up and through the hoops. Art Hage and Gordy Johnson represent Bethel in a wild scramble for the ball against Itasca. Fired up and ready for the second half, the team starts out of the locker room. Spearheading this year's attack was the versatile guard, Bud Pierce, who also played his second season for the Indians. Bud scored a total of 324 points in eighteen games for a 17.8 average. His high for one game was 28 points scored against Luther. He hit consistently for fifteen or more points each game. Coming along fast toward the end of the season was Ralph Martin at center. He hit his peak in the North Park game, scoring 25. Pete Unruh was Pierce's running mate at guard and finished with a nine point average. The for-wards were Art Hage and Gordy Johnson with 145 and 139 points respectively.

'50 BASEBALL TEAM It's up and through the legs of five fellow gymnasts in a dive for Bob Earl. GYMNASTS PERFORM Although defeated more often by the weather than any other force, the baseball team otherwise gave a fine performance for the 1950 season. The weather forced shortened spring pre-season practice and also the cancellation of some games. The record hung up by the team for the season was five wins against two defeats. In the first game of the season, Luther fell victim to a hustling Indian squad, 5-3. The Bethel team then knocked off Concordia 8-4, but in the next contest were downed by North-western 4-3. In a very loosely played tilt, Bethany picked off the Indians 9-8. Eleven errors were recorded in this game, six charged against Bethel. Then the diamond men took their last three games, winning over Northwestern decisively 8-3, downing Bethany 3-2, and outscoring Luther 11-9. Bud Eklof and Ken Greenman handled the pitching for the Indians. Although only in their third year of gymnastics, this new campus group carried on a full program of activities. The program consisted of two divisions: the Roman Ladder Act, and the Tumbling Acts. The Roman Ladder Act was worked on for some time before the fellows gave it to various audi-ences. Again this year, they appeared at sporting events, including a Laker basketball game and the Coffee Cup Game. Marlin Nelson directed the act which has proved to be very popular. Working out a full program of tumbling, the group gave fine exhibitions throughout the year. Several new training belts for flips were added to the equipment. Those participating were: Marlin Nelson, Cliff Smith, George Martens, Wally Anderson, Roger Jacobson, Loren Duryee, Dick Lovell, Cal Anderson, Cliff Vennerstrom, Ed Viren, Bud Erickson, and Dwight Johnson. Coach Sandin on the right gives advice to Bud Pierce, Bud Eklof, and Harold Werts.

Coach Fischer led the girls team in 1951. The record for the year was two wins and three defeats. The team lost to Northwestern twice. Fairview Hospital also notched a win over the squad. Wins were recorded over the Farm Campus team and the Mounds Midway group. Those on the team: Marge Johnson, Merilyn Dahlquist, Nettie Dvirnak, Pearl Ohlin, Barb Port, Lorraine Pepper, and Carol Asker at for-wards; Ann Higbee, Ruth Martinson, Audrey Samuelson, Gerry Daley, Eunice Hult, and Doraine Anderson at guards. CHEERLEADERS Always a colorful part of the athletic program, the cheer-leaders once again this year cheered at all athletic events. Responsibile for getting the students to cheer, they performed their duties in fine style. Present at all games, cheering the team on to victory, inspiring the players with their spirit describes this group. Football and basketball were the two main sports at which the girls appeared. Several fellows also were on the cheering squad at the start of the year, but were unable to keep up their duties. Wearing the red and white costumes this year were Gerry Daly, Virginia Nepstad, Lorraine Friberg, and Marlene Berry. The 1950 golf team organized, though few in number, and had several matches. The weather interfered somewhat with the schedule. Roger Hedberg, Cliff Anderson, George Visel, and Frank Schlader composed the nucleus of the team. Golf is a comparatively new sport at Bethel and interest is not as high as in other sports. There is no coach for the team and competition with other teams is limited. TENNIS Tennis for 1950 was successful to a limited extent in that the season was very short. However, the team won several matches from foes in the Southern Minnesota Junior College Conference. Playing on the team were player-coach Roger Berg, Bob Frykenberg, Gordon Berg, and Rod Anderson. Prospects for the 1951 season look good with Roger Berg and Bob Frykenberg back and many new prospects interested. Four of Bethel's pretty cheerleaders perform a cheer. Tennis team members Rod Anderson, Gordon Berg, Roger Berg, and Bob Frykenburg take time out from a practice session. Page 113 A well-rounded Intramural program was carried on at Bethel during 1950-51. Under the leadership of Don Dye, the program was divided into fall, win-ter, and spring activities. Touch football occupied the spotlight in the fall, and the eight teams participated with much enthusiasm. The West team dominated the scene with a perfect record of seven wins in the regular play, and two victories in the playoffs. West's closest challengers were Illinois and East. Basketball was the big sport in the Intramural system with play in the league running from December to March. West once again proved themselves by taking the championship. PlayofF> were held in basketball in late March. The third of the major intramural sports, softball, was played in the spring. Also on the program was ping-pong and handball. INTRAMURAL PROGRAM A tense moment in an Intramural game finds all eyes on the ball as it heads for the basket. "3or we are Nis workmanship created in Christ A'SlIS lotto good works...." Ephesians 2:10 Bob Daley shows the form of a ballet dancer as he throws the ball to a teammate after getting a rebound. Under the present Intramural setup, the entire student body is eligible to play on an Intramural team. Teams are determined acording to the sections of the country . Participants in the program play on the team corresponding in name to the section of the country they are from. Teams are: East, West, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan-Wisconsin, St. Paul-Minneapolis, and Minnesota. A Faculty team also plays basketball only. Outmaneuvering his opponent, Paul Wick gets set to gather the pigskin in for a touchdown for St. Paul-Minneapolis. Organizations , Christian approach to democracy—that's what we see in action in our student council. Under the wise counselship of Dean Carlson and with Al Windham, Russ Johnson, Eleanor Johnson, and Jim Rentz as devoted and capable officers, this is the group which seeks to lead the affairs of our life at Bethel. Representatives are sent to the council from each class and many organizations on campus so that the group really represents the varied aspects of school life. The council as usual did a fine job with plans for Homecoming and Prospective Students' Day. This year the campus leaders got together under the direction of vice president Russ Johnson and formed a new constitution for the organization to bring up its aims and practices to the enlarged size to which Bethel has grown in recent years.

RELIGIOUS COUNCIL FOREIGN MISSIONS FELLOWSHIP Under the direction of Maynard Johnson, president, this group has promoted Bethel's missionary interest.

CHRISTIAN SERVICE COMMITTEE "Serve Now" has been a motto in school this year, and the Christian Service Committee under the leader-ship of Dan Seagren gives students the opportunity to serve in many ways. Gospel teams have been sent from Bethel this year as well as many Sunday school and vacation Bible school workers. A tract team of various students have faithfully spread the gospel by means of tracts coupled with personal testimony to places where it is needed. The importance of having a time of day spent alone with God has been the burden of the Devotional Committee this year. Everything has been done to encourage this practice among students from private conversation to a skit in chapel. Under the able leader-ship of Kenneth Gullman a mimeographed weekly sheet was put out to aid students in their private devotions.

Eastward bound the chapel choir stood erect in their maroon and gold trimmed robes as they sang a farewell concert for their fellow students before start-ing out on their big trip. Professor Howard Smith had directed this group as they sang in various churches in the Twin Cities. The chapel choir had also provided music for the two promotional banquets during the year, which were excellent singing opportunities in preparation for the spring tour. A mixed quartet and male quartet were featured in the concert program that took the chapel choir to the coast.

Page 121 With memories of a wonderful three-week trip which took them to the Pacific Coast in June still fresh in their minds, the Male Chorus reorganized in September for another great year. Despite difficulties in finding a satisfacotry practice hour, the follows met in small groups for rehearsal and soon sang in a Chapel service. The chorus, under the direction of Nels Stjernstrom, also sang at Founder's Week and at various Twin City church services. Trips for the year were restricted to short week-end trips in which the chorus sang in Duluth, Superior, and Sandy Lake. Several spring trips were planned as the SPIRE went to press.

Enriching the chorus trip were the trio numbers by Elaine Holmquist, Lenore Anderson and Ardis Anderson. Piano solos were rendered by Nadine Westin. Miss Westin and Ardis Anderson both ac-companied the chorus on the piano. A quartet from the Male Chorus composed of Dan Seagren, Jim Rentz, Bruce Woodman and Dave Englund were on tour with the Girls' Chorus and provided splendid music.

Editor Roger Hedberg and the staff have endeavored to give to Bethel not only news but a reflectition of itself as a living academic unit. It has tried to give Bethel a voice and also a vision of a greater Bethel for the future. Working together in a real bond of Christian fellowship the Clarion staff has enjoyed the smiling amicable leadership of editor Roger Hedberg, the keen understanding wit of Assistant Editor, Margaret Schffler, and Feature Editor Mar-jorie Ford, and the peppy enthusiasm of Cliff Smith, Sports Editor. Above all the staff has appreciated the friendly advice of David Guston, advisor and assistant librarian. Colleagues Wendell Anderson and Jack Jensen. Colleagues Clifford Anderson and Tom Persson. Seated: Left to right—Tom Persson, Clifford Anderson, Jack Jensen. Standing: Wendell Anderson, Thorlief Aunevik, Mr. Harold Berntsen. Resolved; "That the Non-Communists nations should form a new international organization," was the nation-al debate question for this year. The forensic activities of the year also included discussion, extemporaneous and impromptu speaking, and after-dinner speaking. Under the skillful direction of professor Harold Bernt-sen the varsity debate squad composed of Wendell Anderson, Jack Jensen, Tom Persson, and Clifford Anderson established a very commendable record. Bethel again engaged in the leading national intercol-legiate competition as represented by Notre Dame, University of Wisconsin, and University of Chicago. The squad successfully participated in the following annual invitational tournaments: the Discussion and Debate Conference at Iowa State Teachers College, the Red River Valley Forensics Tournament at Concordia College, the Eau Claire State Teachers College Speech Meet, the Northwest Debate Tournament at St. Thomas College, the Delta Sigma Rho Tournament at the University of Wisconsin, and the Minnesota State Foren-sic Tournament at the University of Minnesota. Page 128 Page 129 DEBATE TEAM TAU SIGMA P1 "Toward Speech Perfection," the meaning of thbir Greek letters, is the aim of Bethel's speech club. They have purposed to develop excellent Christian leadership in the field of speech by including all phases of speech in their programs. Extemporaneous speeches, humorous debates, after-dinner speeches, orations, discussions, practical parlimentary pro-cedures, and readings are included in the evenings activities. At each regular meeting pro-term officers took over the duties of chairman, secretary, and timekeeper. The president for the year has been Thorleif Aunevik, and Mr. Maurice Schultz has been their advisor. Seated: Left to right—Mr. Maurice Schultz, Ruth Danielson. Standing: Thorlief Aunevik, Dean Olson. PI DELTA GAMMA Under the leadership of philosophy professor Robert Otto and Roger Hedberg as chairman, the Pro-gressive Discussion Group has met bi-weekly to discuss subjects ranging from Communism, theo-logical problems, and pacificism to problems of sociology and philosophy. The only requirement is that the subject be vital for today and that the members freely express their opinions. As a society, this group contributes a real intellectual spark to the school's activities. Seated: Left to right—Mr. Robert Otto, Marwin Lind-stedt, Roger Hedberg, Standing: Harvey Swanberg, Edward Stayton, Johannes Niemeyer, Robert Erick-son, Carl Lindstedt, Dr. Anton Pearson. CAMERA CLUB This newly organized club on campus is open to all with an avid interest in photography. Lectures, movies, field trips, and informal discussions all have aided members to increase their ability in the art of photography. With Thure Erickson as their President the group sponsored an all-school snap-shot contest and as a special project has ,enlarged the facilities of the dark room to provide greater service to the school. Left to right: Mr. Eugene Johnson, Lowell Bergeson, Thure Erickson, Warner Thompson, Ralph Carlson, Keith Davis, Archie Cumings, Charles Purdy. The Swedish Club met once a month with at least one Smorgasbord scheduled during the year. Students and faculty members gathered to learn more about Sweden, its people and customs. Outside speakers were often invited to tell of experiences which they have had in Scandinavia. The meetings always concluded with an informal social time around a cup of coffee. SWEDISH CLUB "3or we are Nis workmanship created in Christ Yew unto good works...." Ephesians 2:10 Left to right: Mr. I. Sjordal, William Slivka, Gloris Swanberg, Arthur Bogren, Lois Redin. MINN GERMAN CLUB Monthly luncheon meetings were attended by those with an active interest in the German language. Under the leadership of Johannes Niemeyer, programs were planned which featured speakers from Europe. Used clothing was shipped to two former Bethelites, Jim Merrill and Kenneth Norquist, for distribution in their Baptist relief work in Germany. The strong interest and participation in the club by the students is due to the friendly spirit of Miss Effie Nelson their professor and advisor. SPANISH CLUB "Buenos Noches, Senores y Senoritas," and the Spanish Club was in full sway. Meetings conducted in Spanish, movies of Mexico, and speakers who were acquainted with Latin-America, helped to further the understand-ing of the Latin-American people as well as their language. Barbara Port as president presided over the meetings and Miss Lillian Ryberg acted as advisor.
