Slotkin who had a part in its discovery in Valencia, Spain. Mil-dred Bisgrove, C. Howard Smith, and David Gaston admire the parchment. 1' The library, built in 1949, no longer accommodates the needs of the growing student body and the expanding curriculum. Li-brary consultants have been called in to investigate the prob-lem and offer recommendations. Plans are being considered both for immediate improvements and for a more elaborate long-range program which would involve enlarging the building. The library at the present time is above average for schools of Bethel's size, and additional im-provements are aimed at in-creasing its efficiency for stu-dent use. THE FIELDHOUSE served our school in many capa-cities this year. It was a center for relaxation and fun — basketball games, get-acquainted mixers, Nik Dag program, and Homecoming banquet. It has been a place of instruction in physical educa- HERE AT LAST Tennis courts finally became a part of our campus this year because of the initiative of a student who wanted something enough to do something about getting it. Of course, administrative cooperation was needed, and that was present also. Original plans called for completion of the courts by the opening of school in September. However, there were several delays. In this picture Roberta Wall and Ramona Jensen have arrived expecting to play a quick game only to find that construction difficulties have arisen and the court is being re-surfaced. The courts were formally dedicated October 21. tion classes. The art class. rooms are also located in the fieldhouse.

BUSY INSIDE Keeping the room in order is another part of dormitory life which some learn for the first time when they come to Bethel and which some never do master. Norris Magnuson makes his bed before rushing off to work in the dining hall. Study hours are theoretically observed in the dormitories from 2:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon and 7:00 to 9:00 in the even-ing, Dorene Peterson takes advantage of a rare lull to get some real work done. 7 A student pauses in the activity of the day for a quiet time in the little chapel on the second floor of Bodien residence. Dr. "Bob" Smith talks with a chapel audience about the ways of the faith. DEVELOPING CHRISTIAN PERSONALITY Because men saw a need — a need for education with living a consistent and Christian life. And because a higher purpose, a purpose to produce men and women having received the Truth, we are compelled to tell oth-whose educational preparation plus a knowledge of God ers, our seminary trains men and women for vocational and His truth will enable them to adequately meet and religious work.

This was the first in a series of convocations held this year, and it was directed to challenging new and returning students to con-scientious effort this year at Bethel, Perhaps the principal reason for academic improvement at Bethel is that this year, and over past years, efforts have been made to get top people in the various fields for our departments here. Each year new faculty mem-bers are added, and each of them has brought to Bethel something which is uniquely his. Many of the faculty members already have their doctoral degrees and many others are doing graduate work which will lead to a doctorate. It is primarily because of mental vitality in Bethel's leaders that her students may graduate equipped, not with the answers to life, but with the maturity of experience and attitude which enables them to meet the problems of life gracefully and effectively. 13 COMBINED EFFORT ONE OF US CARL H. LUNDQUIST, third and youngest president of Bethel College and Seminary, gives the school able and vigorous leadership. His second year of presidency has been character-ized by progress — both academically and in the building program plans of the school. His sympathetic association with student problems makes him a student leader as well as ad-ministration head. In addition to his school duties, President Lundquist has had frequent speaking engagements in the Twin City area, across the United States, in Canada, and in the Baptist Conference area of Alaska. He has been popular both as a convention speaker and as speaker at youth camps. He spent a week in March speaking at a conference in Florida and the week following Easter in Alaska. Dean of the College, V. ELVING ANDERSON, assumed that position as acting dean temporarily two years ago and has had the position ever since. It is part of his job to coun-sel with students who have slipped below the academic standard. President and Mrs. Lundquist and their little daughter, Jill, welcome Fred and Ruth Thomas to their home. Fred and Ruth, along with many other students, enjoyed the warmth and friendly in-formality of a student gathering in the Lundquist home. Mrs. Lundquist, at this point, becomes a very important second assistant to the president. Assistant to the President, H. WYMAN MALMSTEN directs the school's financial resource program. He makes the contacts which ac-quaint people with Bethel's pro-gram. It is his job to systematize the support of the school and to try to maintain it on a stable basis. Dean of the Seminary, EDWIN OMARK, provides general leader-ship in the seminary in addition to being the dean of the seminary stu-dents. He represents the seminary in administrative meetings and is the official link between the semi-nary and the college. Business Manager, HAROLD LID-BOM, handles all the purchasing for the school,. student employment on campus, student loans, and main-tenance personnel. He also super-vises student services including health service, coffee shop, dining hall, and book store. Director of Public Relations, NELS ST JERNSTROM, is the first to oc-cupy the newly created office. The effectiveness of his work has been obvious as we have glanced through the Twin City newspapers from day to day. 14 15 ROYAL F. BLOOM, Director of Ad-missions, gets all the headaches connected with analyzing grades, test results, and determining wheth-er or not an applicant is likely to do acceptable college work. 16 VIRGINIA GRABILL, PAUL GRABILL, MAURICE LAWSON, JOHN P.

English Department English Department Speech Debate GOOD ADVICE BIGGEST DEPARTMENT Before arriving at Bethel, each freshman studen is assigned an adviser. All upperclassmen choose an adviser. Many of Bethel's students appreciate the help of their adviser in outlining their program of studies. Norris Magnuson talks over such a problem with Dean Anderson. BEFORE WE GET HERE Few students realize the amount of work which they create in the college office even before they get to Bethel. High school records must be checked, personal references considered, and each student evaluated individually. The college accepts only those students who show evidence that they can do work on a college level. Registrar, ROBERT GLASER, schedules classroom assign-ments, final exam schedules, and checks registrations for requirements and proper in-formation. Executive Secretary, EDNA SCHULTZ, takes care of all pre-enrollment correspond-ence. She is the busiest when final grades come out. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT AIMS TO DEVELOP THINKERS . . . Faculty-wise, the English department is the largest in the college. Besides acquainting freshmen with the basics of the English lan-guage, this department desires to help stu-dents face the questions of life, evaluate answers of other men to them, and then ar-rive at their own conclusions. Through literature, of course, we find the thoughts of the great men, both past and contempo-rary. At left is a reading machine which was in-stalled this year. It is designed to help stu-dents to learn to read faster. Barbara Harper, Betty Ohlin and Fred Nordby experiment. 17 FEW MAJORS Bert Anderson smiles as he ex-plains to Nancy Sandberg that Bach didn't write it quite that way. WIDE APPRECIATION OF MUSIC ON CAMPUS BERTIL ANDERSON, JUNE BENSON CHARLES ERICKSON, M.Mus. Music Department M.Mus. Music Department Voice Music Department Organ and Piano Band MUSIC AND ART DEPARTMENTS HAVE WIDE PARTICIPATION ON CAMPUS Both C. Howard Smith and the Male Chorus are taking their practice very seriously. The Chorus has 38 members from the college and the seminary. C. HOWARD SMITH, B.S.M., B.R.E., M.Mus. Head of Music Department MILDRED BISGROVE, M. S. Music Department Although there are few music majors this year, expansion is anticipated for the music department. In addition to the present general music major, a church music major will be offered in 1956-57. The College Choir and the Male Chorus, both directed by C. Howard Smith, are an impor-tant part of the music department. Through these two groups about 85 students are able to participate in group singing. The Choir and the Chorus are also active in the school's public relations program through their tours to churches. The art department has been under the direction of Dorothy Johnson this year. The regular instructor, Eugene Johnson has been on sabbatical leave and is studying art in Mexico. Only two students are majoring in art this year, but the department is more important in introducing art values to the general student body. DOROTHY JOHNSON, B.A. Art Department 18 19 TODAY'S EVENTS BECOME HISTORY HOUSE TO HOUSE SURVEY TWIN CITIES AFFORD EXTENSIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR FIELD WORK The Social Control class worked on a research project this year dealing with the trends in religious practices in the family. Upper division classes also visit various institutions to obtain first-hand information for a better understanding of the problems of sociology. DALPHY ROY C. DALTON, WALFRED PETERSON, FAGERSTROM, Ph.D. M.A. M.A. Head of History Depart- History Department History Department ment, History History Political Science Bonnie Carlson questions Mrs. Alphin Conrad as a part of her survey on religious practices in the family. DAVID 0. MOBERG, Ph.D. Head of Social Science De-partment, Sociology CURRENT POLITICAL FIGURES INVITED TO SPEAK TO BETHEL CLASS A new awareness of the relatedness of history and current events has been achieved through arranging class meetings with men in the po-litical field. Eugene McCarthy, U. S. represent-ative, spoke to the political science class on the function of politics in a democratic society. Elmer Anderson, state senator, and Claude Allen, state representative, talked about prob-lems in the state government such as constitutional revision and finances. Walfred Peterson and Dalphy Fa-gerstrom discuss American political parties with Representative Eugene McCarthy, GEORGE J. JENNINGS, B.D., M.A. Social Science Department Geography, Anthropology BETTY DANIELSON, M.A. Social Science Department Social Work 20 21 David Washburn, lab assistant, helps Douglas Oelke in his examination of the beating heart of the frog. Janet Landes and David Langelett find their task very interesting. FROGS HELP TOO . . TO READ WELL LILLIAN RYBERG, M.A. Language Department' Spanish INGEBORG SJORDAHL, B.S. Language Department Swedish, Physical Education W. ELVING ANDERSON Ph.D. Head of Biology Depart-ment, Zoology R. DAVID NELSON, Ph.D. Head of Math and Physi-cal Science Department Mathematics, Physical Science RUSSELL W. JOHNSON B.S., M.F. Department of Biology Biology, Botany R. TED NICHOLS, M.S. Math and Physical Science Department Mathematics, Physics These three languages offered at Bethel are intended to give students a reading fluency in the language. Each language is a two-year pro-gram. No upper division courses are offered in the college. EFFIE V. NELSON, M.A. Language Department German Nobody can say that frogs make no contribution to the world. They are certainly an instrument to a lot of knowl-edge to Bethel students. Dissection of frogs and other small members of the animal kingdom leads biology and zoology students to an under-standing of the human circulatory, digestive, and nervous systems. Botany students are able to do much of their observation of plants at the Como Park Conservatory. Instructor Rus-sell Johnson also enthusiastically directs class field trips. ROBERT J. GLASER, M.A. Chemistry Department Chemistry SCIENCE REQUIREMENT FOR A DEGREE Although Bethel does not yet offer a major in science, and most of the science courses offered are lower division, the department does ful-fill its aim of giving the entire student body a general knowledge of the field. The majority of stu-dents take biology to meet the sci-ence requirement. However, stu-dents interested in science may take more advanced courses. The three language clubs cooperated on a homecoming float with the theme, "United We Win." They didn't. 22 23 W. ROBERT SMITH, CLARENCE B. BASS, Th.D. Ph.D. Head of Philosophy Philosophy Department Department Bible, Philosophy, Philosophy, Bible Theology FREQUENTLY SELECTED PRACTICING CHRISTIANITY Psychology is one of the most often chosen fields for major work at Bethel. Although this is only a two-instructor department, fourteen psychology courses are offered during the year. As the school expands, more education courses will be added. This addition would reduce the number of transfers to other schools to obtain the desired credits in education. The religious education department is designed to give guidance in matters of individual development in Christian living and to acquaint the student with the Bible, church education, and modern problems of religious education. Twelve credits in Bible are required of every student for graduation from the four-year college. All freshmen take Bible survey, and choice may be made to fulfill the upper division Bible requirement. CLIFFORD E. LARSON, Ph.D. Head of Religious Educa-tion Department Bible, Religious Education ROYAL F. BLOOM, M.A. Head of Psychology Department Psychology, Education Psychology classes are assigned special case studies for a little research work. This necessitates use of the library's facilities—especially the night before the report is due. TO BROADEN PHILOSOPHIC APPRECIATION The philosophy department endeavors to create an aware-ness of the wideness and diversity in philosophic systems. Through this, students acquire an appreciation for other views and also arrive at a philosophy of their own elected from the various systems. SWAN A. ENGWALL, M.A. Psychology Department Psychology, Philosophy ESTHER SABEL, Ph.B., M.R.E. Religious Education Department Bible, Religious Education 24 25 ELLEN LEHR, M.A. Business Department DEL RAY PETERSON, M.A. Head of Physical Educa-tion Department Physical Education, Athletics The business department is located in one corner room of the college building. Students, other than business students, almost forget that it is there unless as they come down the stairs they hear the clatter. of typewriters. Business courses are very popular with girls who wish to take only one year of training. Among students who stay for more than one year, typing is most frequently taken. MOST RECENT ADDITIONS Tennis courts were added to the campus last fall at a cost of approximately $6700. This figure includes the cost. of land-scaping as well as the actual construction of the courts. Access to courts is a help to the tennis teams. The courts have been a source of enjoyment to many tennis enthusiasts this spring. They are a good outlet for that physical energy that prevents one from sitting inside studying on a beautiful spring day. A second addition was a third year to the physical education program, enabling students to minor in physical education. LYNN LUNDIN, B.A. Physical Education DR. VERNON SOMMERDORF visits the school two days a week and takes care of any cases re-ferred to him by the nurse. MARION REIMER, R.N., be-came school nurse last fall. The illnesses brought to the attention of the health service department are usually little ones — most commonly head colds, but health service is very important on a campus. A medical examination is required of every student before entering Bethel. "It won't hurt a bit," Dr. Sommerdorf and Marion are telling Betty Mattson. Betty looks half convinced. 26 27 Scorekeeper, Jinn MacFadyen, wishes Lawrence Van Heerden and Bud Lee a good game. This game was the official opening of the new tennis courts in October. MRS. MAE CHRISTENSON, known fondly as "Ma Chris" is house-mother of the Bodien residence. She participated in freshman initiation along with the girls. "WALLY" PETERSON, supervisor of the men's dormitory has a big job. He posts the most clever notes to remind the men that quiet must be observed—within reason. SOUTHWEST CORNER USUALLY MINOR BUT IMPORTANT Coffee shop and student lounge population is testimony enough to the attractiveness of the stu-dent center — so attractive in fact that students would be sur-prised to find that the "minutes" theyspent in the coffee shop in a day added up to hours. MILFORD CARLSON, bursar, does all of the bookkeeping for the school. EDITH LARSON, office manager, di-rects student housing as well as office employment. BANKING AND HOUSING ACCOMMODATIONS Harold Chapman waits in line as Joy Kundy pur-chases a book in Bethel's bookstore.

B.A., B.D., M.A. Dean of the Seminary, Pastoral Functions, Theory of Preaching, Pastoral Counseling Bethel seminary really began in 1871 in Chicago, and it was moved to its present location in 1914. It was established because of a sense of need for preparation, and it continues to grow because the needs of missionary and pastoral work are so exacting that men must be carefully trained spiritually, mentally, and practically. VIRGIL A. OLSON, B.A., Th.D. Church History REUBEN OMARK, A.B., B.D., Th.M. Exegetical Theology SEMINARY IS OLDEST PART . . . GIVES TWO DEGREES The seminary offers two degrees, a Bachelor of Divinity degree to those who have completed a four-year liberal arts program and the three-y6r seminary program, and a Bachelor of Theology degree to stu-dents who have completed at least two years of college but less than four years. To qualify for the latter degree, a student must be above average in scholastic work. Besides completing the required courses in the seminary, students are urged to spend at least two summers in re-ligious work under the direction and supervision of the seminary. The seminary staff was strength-ened this year by the addition of Dr. Clarence Bass who taught one class in the seminary and four in the college. However, Dr. Bass will be assuming larger responsibil-ities in the seminary another year. ALPHIN C. CONRAD, WALFRED DANIELSON, ANTON T. PEARSON, A.M., Th.D. B.A. B.A., Th.D.

Ben often does his studying in their apartment in the Hagstrom residence. CLASSES Students soon realize when they come to Bethel that study is a must. For many, good study habits are a new thing. For this reason, the freshmen are placed in a freshman orientation class in which they receive study tips and also some plain, common-sense advice. Unlimited experience and ideas may be found in the class-rooms. It is the purpose of each instructor to present material which will broaden the knowl-edge of the student and thus also broaden his sympathy with mankind and increase his com-petence to answer the questions for which maturity demands an answer. 32 33 SENIORS PLAN FOR GIFT . .

The theme of the float, - A Royal Whaling, - was pro-phetic of a defeat of the Worthington team by the Bethel Royals with a score of 7-6, making this the first homecoming victory in four years.

CLASS OF 1958 The sophomore class directed several of the major cam-pus activities of the year — Freshmen initiation, Home-coming activities, Nik Dag, winter retreat to Camp St. Croix, and the Freshman-Sophomore banquet. Home-coming was probably the most important event, and in it the sophomores encountered the most difficulties. Their plans were almost foiled twice when "mysterious" firesconsumed the wood for the pep fest bonfire, but RICHARD ABRAHAMSON Brockton, Massachusetts within hours of the program, material was gathered and the pep fest went on as scheduled. They introduced a Homecoming banquet and a program called Humor-ama in which they also took the prize for the best skit depicting some part of Bethel's life during the last fifty years. The sophomores decided to go modern and mimicked the faculty. The faculty laughed too. 42 43 LARUE DAHLQUIST Laurel, Nebraska KEITH DAVIS St. Paul, Minnesota JAMES DINSMORE Davenport, Iowa AUDREY DRAVLAND Duluth, Minnesota MARLENE DURSCHER Clermont, Iowa GEORGE DVIRNAK Killdeer, North Dakota JOHN CEDAR Pollock, South Dakota JOAN CLARK Pollock, South Dakota RONALD ECKERT Valparaiso, Indiana PHYLLIS ENGBERG Garvin, Minnesota GLORIA FEDELLECK Sheffield, Iowa FRANCINE FRENCH Omaha, Nebraska KENNETH FULLER Long Beach, California LESLIE FUNK Vancouver, Canada RAYMOND GEIGER Sioux Falls, South Dakota DAVID GODDARD Pine River, Minnesota JANIS GRABER Sioux Falls, South Dakota CAROL ENGHOLM Chicago, Illinois ROLLO ENTZ Huron, South Dakota PAMELA EVERBURG Walpole, Massachusetts ARNOLD INTVELD Worthington, Minnesota BARBARA E.

OLSON St. Paul, Minnesota Davenport, Iowa Fergus Falls, Minnesota Cokato, Minnesota Duluth, Minnesota poses certain disadvantages too. However, some of Bethel's professors contend that married men make better students than single men. There is the problem of securing housing close to the campus. Hagstrom dormi-tory on the campus contains only 33 apartments. It has not been difficult for the married men to secure part-time employment in the Twin-Cities. Of course, most of the wives are also interested in education for their husbands and cooperate in this respect MOSTLY TAKEN . . It was discovered this year through a survey of the semi-nary registrations that almost 70% of the seminary stu-dents are married. This situation creates more problems for the remaining 30% than it does for the 70% majority. Seminary courses are heavy and activities in the seminary are geared to the married student. There-fore, seminary men have found that it takes just a little more effort to keep up a social life than it was back in college. One might say that being a married student 64 65 Since nearly every graduate of the seminary will become engaged in work which places them in a position of leadership, personal development is stressed. This year special weeks and series of messages have been arranged with emphasis upon a re-awakening to the Christian life and to the responsibilities which graduating students will assume.

SENATE CAPITALIZE ON INITIATIVE STUDENT INTEREST A PROBLEM SENATE INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN STUDENT BODY AND ADMINISTRATION The Student Senate this year has performed its responsibility in organ-izing, promoting, and stabilizing campus events, but it has been per-haps even more significant as it has acted upon expression of student opinion. Some of the issues which came before the Senate through representatives were whether or not to continue the Wednesday eve-ning dress-up dinner, the possibility of having the library open later on Saturdays, the desire to have chapel speakers announced in advance of the chapel services, and whether or not the student center lounge should be open during the entire day. Sometimes the administration has felt that they must say "no" to the propositions of the Senate, but the results have nevertheless been positive in the increase of student interest and voice in campus affairs. Carla Kern, Gordon Olson, Elaine Lundstedt, standing: Bud Lee, chairman, Dick Andre, Bryan Harris, Jim Almeroth. RELIGIOUS COUNCIL PROMOTES SMALLER GROUPS for CLOSER UNITY After puzzling over the problem of Wed-nesday evening services which were discon-tinued last year, the council established them again on a trial basis this spring. In the meantime, rather effective small Bible study and prayer groups have been organ-ized, meeting in groups of six or eight in-dividuals who have common prayer concerns. It is the function of the Council to encour-age and correlate religious activities on the campus. The Student Senate held its February meeting at the home of President and Mrs. Lundquist.

CULTURAL COUNCIL AIMS AT BROADER CULTURAL INTERESTS ON CAMPUS The Cultural Council has endeavored to make Bethel students aware of the prox-imity of cultural opportunities both through bririging exhibits, films, and musical pro-grams to the campus and by informing stu-dents of events in the Twin City area. The biggest event of the year on campus was the Renaissance Festival in March which in-cluded literary and artistic material charac-teristic of that period of history. 70 71 Wayne MacArthur, chairman, Marilyn Carlson, John Anderson, Francine French.

However, a third pile was accumulated at the last min-ute.

ATHLETIC COUNCIL ORGANIZES WOMEN'S ATHLETIC UNION AND PROMOTES WIDER INTRAMURAL PROGRAM Response to the intramural program was good this year. A women's basketball team was organized which played various Twin City teams. Efforts were made to keep up a program of sports for both men and women throughout the year, following seasonal activities. A tennis tournament utilizing the new courts rounded out the program in the spring. BODIEN DORM COUNCIL SPONSORS INTRA-DORMITORY AND ALL-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES The women's dorm council has made an effort this year to give the dormi-tory organization more than just a dis-ciplinary function. The women rose early for six o'clock "pajama break-fasts" several times during the year. At Christmas time when the dormitory was decorated for that season, an open-house was held one Sunday af-ternoon, all the men invited, and light refreshments served. EDGREN DORM COUNCIL OFFICIALLY ADMITS YOUNGEST RESIDENT . . . The men's dorm has sponsored popcorn parties and other activities in the game room, but the most sig-nificant event for the whole dormitory was the welcoming of Nils Soren Peterson, infant son of dorm supervisor Wally Peterson, into the Edgren clan. The general purpose of the council is to establish a feeling of cooperation among the residents in things spiritual and in dorm discipline. DESIRE STRONGER ORGANIZATION The Seminary Council this year have worked toward a revision of the student government constitution which would allow a separate government for the seminary. This was a step taken because of the diffi-culty experienced in integrating the seminary into college affairs and activities. Row 1: Ted Johnson, Dean of seminary, Edwin Omark, Robert Erickson.

Assistant editor, Marie Magnuson looks on approv-ingly as June Sparling applies glue to a piece of copy for layout editor, Marilyn Carlson. BANGBOARD FOR CAMPUS ISSUES Clarion editor, Phil Caldeen, has had to maintain a lot of courage in carrying out the Clarion policy of publishing an exact expression of campus opinion. The Clarion staff have attempted this year to handle both sides of controversial ques-tions on the campus. In so doing, the Clar-ion has not been entirely popular with all persons at any time during the year, but it has been valuable as a medium for student and faculty expression, and many issues have been clarified through it. An example was the conducting of a poll by the Clarion regarding the Wednesday dress-up dinner. As a result of the student opinion ex-pressed, the night was changed to Friday. It's Tuesday afternoon, and these students are among the first to receive their Clarions. As soon as the word spreads around, the post office will be packed with students eager to read this week's issue. Phil and his staff look over the issue which has just arrived from the printer. A good finished copy is their reward for meeting those deadline hours. The staff members are, seated: Arlene Bergstrom, Lois Larson, June Sparling, Phil Caldeen, Mary Fredrick-son, Barbara Brandt, Alice Barnes. Standing: Janet Landes, Jim MacFadyen, Allan Stahnke, Marie Mag-nuson. Allan and Marie will be co-editors for '56-'57. 74 75 Bob Carlson, one of the photographers, shows Gloria Fedelleck and Marilyn junker how to crop pictures.

Beverly Voldseth, art editor, tells Alice Barnes that the design must be drawn a little more to the right. A copy of the cover has just been received. Miss Dorothy Johnson, advisor, approves it. SPIRE STAFF DECIDES AGAINST NAME CONTEK . . 1956 SPIRE The staff was reduced this year and they worked direct-ly under the various editors. Clearly defined responsibili-ties was the objective. Al-though this was not entirely achieved, the deadlines were met. The contest initiated by the 1955 staff to rename the yearbook was tabled to be decided by the 1956 staff. The conclusion of the 1956 staff was that the name, SPIRE, has significance and is suitable as the name of Bethel's yearbook. Spires on buildings are, of course, the highest point on the building. They have often denoted a reaching out by man for a higher ideal, a better pattern. Bethel, as a school of Christian higher educatil also takes on the implications of a spire. Higher edu tion represents the desire to live as more complete, formed, and prepared individuals. Adding to this Christian intent, education becomes the highest insti tion, the search for the supreme truth in all areas. It the spirit of Bethel that this book attempts to mil( With that in mind, we retain the name, SPIRE. Editor Marjory Peterson determined the total design of the book and its layout. Her biggest frustration was the necessity to sacri-fice quality to meet deadlines. She is shown working on the football section. Those ad figures which Robert Fischer, business manager, reports sound too good to be true. The disbelieving girls are Carol Mar-tinson, assistant editor, Marilyn Hagstrom, photo editor, and Vivi-an Weekley, copy editor. Carol and Vivian were appointed co-editors for the 1957 yearbook. 76 77 Students who have participated in forensics know that no degree of success is achieved without a great deal of tedious work. Hours are spent gathering material and much tire-some practice precedes accomplished deliv-ery. This is particularly true of debate. Af-ter each tournament debaters must gather new material to answer arguments which they have encountered and could not answer adequately. One credit per quarter is allowed for debate work. The poetry and oratory contests are held in the spring, and first, second, and third place winners, selected by faculty judges, are awarded cash prizes. Students from the oral interpretation class frequently enter in the poetry reading contest and students from the platform speech class in the oratory con-test. The contests are not limited to these classes, however. im MacFadyen helps Lois Larson find ma-terial on this year's debate topic: The Guar-anteed Wage. The main sources of in were business and labor periodicals. De-baters must have fact on which to base their arguments. Debate teams from Bethel entered in eight major tournaments this year. All except three of the debaters had no previous college de-bate experience. Two teams, Betty Mattson and Marjory Peterson and Donn Goss and Charles Paton, won almost three-fourths of their debates, putting them in the top one-fourth in competition with fifty to one hun-dred schools at each tournament. At the Northwest debate tournament held at Macalester College, Betty Mattson and Marge Peterson were the only team to finish with a record of eight wins, no defeats. This made them eligible for the semifinals where they were defeated by a University of Nebraska team. Debaters have the privilege of entering in several types of speech divisions at each tournament in addition to debating. Jack Tierney placed second in after-dinner speak-ing at the River Falls, Wis. tournament. Cash prizes are awarded winners in Bethel's annual poetry read-ing and oratory contest. Winners pictured are Harold Richardson, poetry, Robert Berry, poetry, Shirley Anderson, oratory, David Johnson, oratory. Donn Goss, poetry, and Charles Paton, oratory, are not pictured. 1 Debate coach, Lee Kingsley, points out a weakness in Fred Schindeler's case as Jack Tierney and Chusk Paton look on. Debaters not pictured here are Donn Goss, Douglas Oelke, and Bruce Richardson. Four women participated in debate. They are Betty Mattson, Marjory Peterson, Lois Larson, Marie Magnuson, All of the women were new in debate except Betty Mattson who placed third in impromptu speaking at Moorhead. STUDY, WRITE, REWRITE BEGINNING DEBATERS RATE HIGH 78 79 ... BAND MEMBERS ALMOST ENTIRELY FROM FRESHMAN CLASS The Bethel band has shown more precision this year basketball games, convocations, and concerts, and it than previously even though it is largely a freshman has gained recognition on campus along with the other group. It has been more active, playing at football and musical groups. Ron MacDonell and Rosemary Carlson listen as trombonists Ron-ald Dahlman, Earl Grano, and Jim Danielson warm up before the first band concert. The band is shown playing at the convoca-tion at which Governor Orville Freeman spoke. WILLINGLY . . . FROSH BOOST BAND MEMBERSHIP ONE-THIRD OF STUDENT BODY ACTIVE IN CHRISTIAN SERVICE WORK The Christian Service office tabulated statistics this year to determine the number of students participating in their program. The results were encouraging. About 180 stu-dents, or one-third of the campus population, were sent out each quarter on various assignments. The assignments include child evangelism, Sunday schools, speaking en-gagements, boys' clubs, and musical work. Director of Christian service activities, Roger Hedberg, and assistant, Dorothy Nichols, are pleased with the tabulation results. Charles Erickson has been band director for several years. Much of the work is done in teams which were carefully chosen in the fall. This team includes Merton The band is important as a "spirit-booster" at games.

Their purpose is much more serious, however. They sang a number of spirituals and other sacred music. Their tour consisted of seven days in northwestern Minnesota and Winnipeg, Canada.

Like the German class, the Swedish class likes no class activity better than singing. "Trygare Kan Igen Vara- is a favorite. PRACTICAL AT BETHEL Students learning Swedish have the greatest opportunity for practice of the three langu-age classes, both because Bethel is of the Swedish Baptist General Conference and be-cause this area of Minnesota is largely Swedish.

MEDICAL INTEREST A Nurses Fellowship was formed on campus this year whose purpose it is to pray together about the problems they meet in their work and about the people whom they care for. They are affiliated unofficially with the Twin City Nurses Association. INFORMATION FOR FUTURE SERVICI NO MEN The Foreign Missions Fellowship is corn-posed chiefly of students who plan to be-come missionaries. Through affiliation witl-the national F.M.F. they are able to learn much about the fields where they may gc and are thus also able to pray more intel-ligently for missionaries now there. The Bethel Women's Association is exactly what it says. The only men allowed in their meetings were the male quartet who sang at their Christmas meet-ing. Monthly meetings are planned, the most im-portant being the Big 'n Little Sis tea welcoming the new girls and a spring formal banquet honoring the girls graduating. Returned missionaries and mission-aries on furlough are the chief sources for information. The F.M.F. group hears about one of the areas served by the Baptist COherence through the aid of a map. Beverly Bowman pours at the B. W. A. tea as Betty Morrison, Myra Polifka, and Barbara Hartman move down the serving line. Indian children from the Mille Lac's lake reservation participated in an evening seminar sponsored by the F.M.F. Bryan Harris, F.M.F. president, and Bob Shields chat with them after the service. Mrs, Ted Johnson pours at the Student Wives tea at the home of Mrs. Carl Lund-quist. B. W.

A. president, Gladys Johnson, Francine French. BEHIND THE SCENES Sometimes little noticed on campus but wielding a big influence in many cases are the students' wives. Many of them are working to put their husbands through school. Their association meetings provide a little social life and are often instructive and prac-tical. As they drink their coffee, Mrs. Al Mesko and Mrs. Joe Sanders discuss the problems their hus-bands are having with heavy assignments. 86 87 TOUGH JOB CHEERLEADERS BIGGEST PROBLEM SOMETIMES IS APATHETIC STAND Over-all school spirit in support of sports has been better, but occasionally there is a slump which is discouraging to both cheerleaders and team.

Radio club advisor, Ted Nichols, and club officers Dick Dahlquist, Dwight Ericsson, and Dick Larson examine some burned out radio tubes. A BUNCH OF HAMS Three radio club members have already received their ham operator licenses and the rest of the members aspire to be-come ham operators. Much of this year has been spent in learning the code in preparation for licensee examination. It is hoped that interest in using radio on the mission fields may be encouraged. Another major ambition of the club is to get a station set up on campus. The radio club visited the KSTP radio and television stu-dios in February. Mel Holmgren, Bethel seminary student who works at KSTP, is training the TV camera on the group as the Spire photographer snapped this picture. Club members are: Row 1: Barbara Linder, Dick Dahl-quist, David Johnson, Kenneth Fuller. Row 2: Roger Mo-berg, Wally Anderson, Dwight Ericsson, Ted Nichols, Dick Larson, Jim Sheldon. INDEPENDENT HOBBY Camera club members do most of their work independent-ly, meeting occasionally to discuss problems and points of interest. Not many new members were added this year, but most of the old members again joined the lcub. Bob Carlson, the Camera club president, shows officers Ruth Edwards and Bon-nie Carlson his new camera.

TURNOVER IS A PROBLEM Rapid change of membership on the football team has always been a headache for the coach. Almost every year he has a new team to work with. This year, 12 of the 20 team members were entirely new to the team. Most of these men had high school football experience, but it is a distinct disadvantage to have to coordinate a new group each year to playing together as a team. Much of this turnover is due to either discontinuance of college training or transference to other schools. Too bad it was only practice . . that was a nice kick by Ron McDonell.

Because of the expansion of the curriculum this year to provide a physical education minor, it is anticipated that more athletes will be at-tracted to Bethel and that reduction of transferences to other colleges at the end of junior college training should also occur. Thus, the biggest problem will gradu-ally be removed. Efforts are also being made to secure a more adequate practice field. Mediocrity has been a bugbear for several years and will not be shaken in one season, but the outlook is the best that it has ever been for a stable football program.

This is a major improvement over the records of the preceding two years when the teams posted 6-14 and 6-16 seasons. Leading the team in scoring was Rekstad with 376 points. He was followed closely by Conrad with 354 points. The team was bolstered in mid-season by the appearance of Ohlin who tallied 140 points and by the return of Almeroth who added 128 points in 12 games. Other high scorers were Bot-tenfield who averaged 10.5 a game, Knoner who averaged 8.6, and Nyberg with an aver-age of 7.4. High point of the season was perhaps the 78 -66 retaliatory defeat of Northwestern in the annual Founders Week game. Bethel was defeated on the Northwestern floor by three points. The season opened with a vic-tory over Concordia who was again defeated by the Royals in the second game. Bethel ended the season royally by winning six out of the eight last games. The season's final against Valley City was a tense game, and the Royals won by a free throw in the last four seconds for a final score of 68 -67. With the prospect of the return of a num-ber of players, the future looks good for the 1956-57 team. Larue Dahlquist Ron Eckert Center Forward It has eight arms but it isn't an octopus.

Mark Nyberg Gene Smith Center-Forward Guard RESERVE PLAYERS ON THE "B" SQUAD also contributed to the success of the season. The Northwestern games are always the most spirited of the season, Bethel lost the game on their floor by a narrow three points, Rekstad goes up for one of his quick shots as Sioux Falls players stand back wondering how it happened so fast. The reserve or "B" team substituted in the major games and also played a regular series of "B" team games. They gained much experience which will qualify some of them for "A" team playing next year.

Bethel's baseball season began with a decisive vic-tory over Concordia. Frank Burleson, pitching, was able to keep Concordia from scoring until the last inning. The second game was much closer but also a victory by one point. Al Stahnke, pitching, man-aged to postpone Northwestern scoring until the first half of the ninth when Northwestern got two runs. The third game of the season with Hamline was a tragedy for Bethel. The score stood 2-3 in Ham-line's favor in the eighth inning when Brunzell and Larson, both reaching for a pop fly, collided, send-ing Brunzell to the hospital, eliminating Larson, and throwing the game into Hamline's hands. The next game with Concordia showed very poorly for Bethel. Bethel didn't score after the third inning and Concordia was walked several times. A double-header was played with Bethany, Burle-son pitching the first game and Stahnke the second. The first game was a victory and the second a loss by only 1 point. Brunzell and Tierney hit well in the game with Bemidji. Bemidji was ahead 8-0 when their pitcher weakened and Bethel was able to score five runs in the remainder of the game. Injury-ridden Northwestern was easily defeated with a score of 10-3. Northwestern had been de-feated early in the season by a difference of one point. Burleson, pitching at the Luther game, was able to hold Luther to 4 hits. The game ended by a defeat 4-3. The season ended with a Luther game. Burleson, pitching, appeared weak, and Luther was hitting well. The score was tied until the last inning when a Luther runner scored after the catch. This ended the season with a total of four wins, six losses. BASEBALL Prospects for the 1956 team look good. Many of the 1955 lettermen are returning to the team and it will also be strengthened by the addition of new men. Lynn Lundin will be coaching the team as he has for the past two years. He will have the advan-tage of working with a team this year on which at least seven men have been with him previously, some of them for two years. Possibilities look good for bettering the 1955 showing and at least equalling the 1954 record of 5 wins, 4 losses. 102 103 . ..

Basketball received the most participation of any of the intramural sports. Teams were organized geo-graphically into Twin City, East, West, Illinois "A" and "B," . Minn., Plains, and Wisc.-Dakota. The East team and the Illinois "B" tied for first place with five wins and 1 loss each. Football intramurals were received with somewhat less interest. ATHLETIC COUNCIL attempted to stabilize the intramural program and en- :ourage wider participation Ping-gong has long been a favorite indoor sport at Bethel.

GOLF Joel Stolte, Bill Conrad, Bill Larson, George Visel. Nancy Zink stands poised and ready to give the ball an enthusiastic punch. Intramural programs of basketball, volleyball, and tennis were organized for the women and carried seasonally throughout the year.

College 34 to 29. They were defeated twice by Augsburg, completing the season with an equal number of wins and losses. ADDITION OF BETHEL TENNIS COURTS offers hope for tennis players. It is hoped that more men will participate in tennis and that stu-dents will become more interested in following the sport because of the convenient location of our new courts across from the campus. Even though the team made an ex-cellent showing last spring of 5 wins, 1 tie, and 2 losses, student interest has been conspicuously lacking.

Dick Swanson purchases a mum for his date from Janet Landes as Barbara Jorgenson sells Dick Otteson a pompon. Some students may be attracted to Bethel for its social life. Others may come only to study. But whatever our reasons are for enrolling, Bethel, apart from its social life, would not be Bethel. Memories retained most vividly are not of all-night cramming for exams nor of long and difficult assignments, but they are of the good times, the big date occasions, and the little spontaneous events which become a vital part of our reminiscing. Therefore, on the following pages the Spire preserves those various events from campus life this year. 108 109 During her first few days on campus, each new girl is met by a "big sister" who helps her to feel at home and answers her questions about such things as dorm rules.

Brothers Henry and A. J. Wingblade were honored at the Founders Week banquet. President emeritus Henry C. Wingblade brought the beginning message of the week, and former professor A. J. Wingblade was presented with a gift for fifty years with Bethel. Dr. Franklin Logsdon brought daily bible studies from the book of Jeremiah. He was one of the ten outside speakers invited to Founders Week. Several faculty members also contributed during the week. THREE SPECIAL EMPHASIS WEEKS add vigor to the spiritual tone of the campus and rekindle consciousness of Christian responsibilities and questions. Deeper Life Week services con-ducted by Dr. A. W. Tozer brought a challenge to students and faculty to seek a more consistent, inspired, and purposeful relation-ship to Christ. Dr. Tozer impressed upon his audiences the importance of a "crucified self." His messages were couched in fresh and alive ex-pressions and the meetings were unusually well attended. Dr. To-zer is pastor of South Side Alliance Church in Chicago and is editor of the Alliance Weekly. Paul Schlueter, sophomore, talks to Dr. Tozer after one of the morning chapel hours.

The lecture held in Bodien lounge, wa followed by a reception. Dr Eitner is shown answering in formal questions, Suzanne Bloch's recital at Bethel was her first Twin City appearance. Miss Bloch, daughter of composer Ernest Bloch, is the principal con-cert lutenist in America. She is the only concert artist who accompanies herself for per-f ormance of Medieval, Ren-aissance, and Elizabethan songs. She also performs on the virginals and the re-corder. A selection of madrigals were sung under the direction of Miss Mildred Bisgrove. Sing-ers are A. IV uthrich, S. Myr-berg, B. iMacKinney, C. Pa-ton, V. Needham, D. Stipe, H. Seffens, M. Hagstrom. A series of four programs called the Festival of the Renaissance Arts was sponsored by the Cultural Council through the Student Senate. The series included an art lecture by Dr. Lorenz Eitner, two Shakespearean films, a recital by Suzanne Bloch, and a student program of madrigals and Shakespearean readings. The Festival was the result of much long-range planning by the Student Senate. It is hoped that similar programs of different periods will be planned for future years. The virginals is an authentic seventeenth century keyboard instrument on which the sound is produced by plucking of the strings. The drama class received a special visit from Miss Bloch. She sang some of the lute songs from Shakes-pearean plays which the class was studying. Phil Caldeen and Marjory Peterson read portions of Romeo and Juliet. Scenes from Julius Ceasar were also read. The readings were di-rected by Dr. Paul Grabill. RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL IN MARCH ..

Lynn Wea-ver, Elaine Nelson, and Jack Tierney attempt an evaluation of one of the paintings. Our Town cast gets a chuckle out of the ceremony in which Harold Richardson, stage mana-ger, is marrying Emily Webb (Elaine Nelson) and George Gibbs (Jack Tierney). Although the play is produced very in-f ormally, the actual per was a little more formal than this practice. Other cast members are: Roy Brottlund, Ripley Moore, Betty Mattson, Shirley Anderson, Bruce Rich-ardson, Les Funk, Jim Hansen, Phil Caldeen. JUNIOR CLASSES CHOOSE CONTRAST of classic and modern in drama. The Junior class of '55 chose Sophocles' Oedipus Rex for their presentation. This play revolves around the classical idea of fate wherein Oedipus unwittingly marries his mother. The characters try vainly to ex-tricate themselves from the circumstances which fate has wrought. The Juniors of '56, however, selected the modern play, Our Town, by Thornton Wilder which presents a series of typical incidents in an Eastern town ��� romance, marriage, and the life of its own main char-acters. Adella Bennett as Jocasta, Oedipus' wife, pleads with Oedipus to ig-nore the Seer's idle prattle. She tells him that the son which she and Laius had was chained and left in the field by a shepherd to die. 122 123 OPPORTUNITY KNOCKED TWICE FOR THE FACULTY CAPTURED "YE OLE THE LADIES THIS YEAR .. . Nik Dag and a leap year skating pa: COFFEE CUP" • • • for the second time in eight years. Bethel women in years past have had only one chance to nab the man that they have had their eye on all year, but this year the girls took it upon them-selves to declare another leap year affair. Final re-ports haven't come in yet so we are unable to say whether anything permanent resulted, but most of the girls did receive return dates. For the big event, Nik Dag, a variety program was held with Jack Tierney as master of ceremonies. Each girl makes her Nik Dag date a corsage and a prize is awarded for the most original and novel. Beverly Bowman pins her creation on date Ed Plank. The faculty was opposed this year by the Clarion staff who staged an all-out attempt to give the "under-dog" faculty another trouncing. The faculty, however, surprised everyone, particularly the faculty, by defeat-ing the students. The Clarion reported that one major concession had to be made to the faculty. "Orange Pekoe'' Bass was served tea rather than coffee. Dr. Clarence Bass (who drank tea) accepts the Coffee Cup trophy for the faculty from Henry Pederson. At 7 :00 a.m. Nik Dag "open season" began and the ladies began dialing. A list of "available men" was kept in one of the dorm rooms and the girls checked off the name as soon as they got the yes response. What an illustrious lot the faculty turned out to be on the basketball court. The whole game was charac-terized by horseplay. Students Jim MacFadyen and Jack Tierney, in white shirts, defend the basket against faculty members Bass, Lun-din, and Healy, in dark shirts. .:M4100.00, 4000MONOr' miS,M, 4M. 1 24 1 25 THE OFFICIAL SCHOOL CALENDAR MISSES SOME . . . of the more memorable school events. Edgren residents Samuelson, Sheetz, Roers, Reinoldt, Bostrack, Brottlund, Langlett and Swanson give a solemn welcome to their newest fellow resident. Normally, the age limit would keep 6-day-old 1 26 Nils out, but he has influence with the residence supervisor, "Daddy" Wally Peterson. IMPORTANT FEATURE ON A SMALL CAMPUS ... is the close contact between faculty members and students. Outside of the classes, students often find the faculty members are fascinating coffee shop philosophers. Glenn Ogren, junior, asks Mr. Woods why he looks so tired after only three hours at the winter retreat. All of the students looked this way too by the end of the week end, Three clowns gave some impromptu enter-tainment at basketball games. Here Ron MacDonnell, holding Jerry Backlund, suc-cessfully hides Joel Stolte from the Presi-dent's watchful eye. Many of the unscheduled events were missed by our photographers too. But we collected a few scenes from dorm life and other every-day happenings which are the typical spontaneous happenings which make up our informal campus life. (We're sorry to have missed such major events as the capture of a wild mouse in Bodien Residence or Charles Waring's bicycle atop the flag pole.) Classes early in the school year are attended by a suspiciously small number of male students. However the recreation room in the dorm is crowded with world series fans cheering their teams. The giant ten-inch television screen also draws large and noisy audiences on Saturday afternoons during the football season. Probably the most typical every-day campus activity — eating. Don stipe, Ruth Westfall, Howard Rekstad and Carla Kern are served in the dining hall. Most stu-dents gain rather than lose weight during the school year, in spite of the usual complaints about school food. 127 Senior Barbara Olander receives congratulations from her parents, Mr. and Mrs. K. B. Olander, and her sister Mimi. Mimi, who will be a 1956 graduate, is carefully sizing up the effect of the cap and gown. Deans Anderson and Omark presented the seniors for their diplomas. Here they talk with commence-ment speaker Chaplain Ray Applequist, a Bethel seminary alumnus and President Lundquist. Seminary seniors head the line of graduates on the front walk of the college building. First in line was Albert Windham, valedic-torian. Ronald Olson was the top student in the college graduating class. Graduating on May 25, 1956, will be 39 college seniors and 31 seminary seniors. ADVERTISING SENIORS OF 1955 LEFT PRACTICAL GIFTS . The seniors gave an air-conditioning unit for the president's office, refrigerated drinking fountain and tile flooring for the first floor of the college building. 128 129 THE BAPTIST GENERAL CONFERENCE OF AMERICA 5750 NORTH ASHLAND AVENUE, CHICAGO 26, ILLINOIS A growing missionary fellowship of 406 churches with over 52,000 members and a 65,000 Bible school enrollment.
