Academy Student WOG('
By Foreign Mission Board
Is Graduate of B. and M. T.
School; Will Go To Africa
Another student soon to be num-bered
among Bethel's representatives
on foreign mission fields is Mildred
Olson, Academy senior, and graduate
of the Bible and Missionary Training
school in 1931; she received word
March 6 that her application has been
accepted by the Africa Inland Mission
Board.
Mildred will be sent to her station,
the exact location of which has not
yet been definitely assigned, as soon
as the necessary funds are received.
Sullivan Waldemer, Seminary, a
former student at the Moody Bible
Institute, also is awaiting funds to
enable him to go to his assigned sta-tion
in Africa.
ORATORICAL PRELIMINARY
HELD IN ACADEMY CHAPEL
The oratorical preliminary for the
Academy was held Friday afternoon,
March 17, with eleven entrants:
Sigurd Forsmark, Ruby Theline, Les-ter
Thompson, Henry Rahn, Anna
Souglow, Virgil Olson, Vina Olson,
John Dikkers, Clifford Dickau, Louise
Jack, and Evelyn Clelland.
The orations were very inspiring,
each speaker doing his part well.
Judges chose six from this group to
appear in the final (local) Friday,
March 24, when two representatives
will be chosen to appear at the Twin
City Academic oratorical meet at
Concordia College, March 31.
ALEXIS SOCIETY FEATURES
MUSIC APPRECIATION
A musicale was the feature of the
Alexis Society's meeting last Wednes-day
evening, March 15, in the Sem-inary
chapel. Much of Bethel's best
musical talent was represented in the
program. Miss Muriel Nelson, a
student at the University of Minne-sota,
was the guest artist of the eve-ning.
Walter Watkin spoke briefly on the
subject, "Music Appreciation," em-phasizing
especially the need of
proper appreciation and development
of musical talent in the individual.
"What we need is not so much music
appreciation as music inclination," he
said.
Declamatory Contest Held
The preceding meeting, March 8,
was devoted to a Declamatory contest,
preliminary to the inter-school meet
to be held soon. Prizes were awarded
to John Anderson and Mrs. John Dik-kers,
who were placed first and second,
respectively.
Norway More Beautiful Than
America, Haukedalen Says
But More Opportunity Here, He
Asserts
"I should not care to go back to
Norway to stay, as there is not the
opportunity for advancement, voca-tional
and educational, that there is
here", said Sveinung Haukedalen in
an interview with a Clarion reporter.
Having lived beside one of Norway's
many beautiful lakes in the midst of
towering mountains, Sveinung loves
the majestic grandeur of nature in the
"Land of the Midnight Sun." "The
scenery in this country," he declared,
"is not to be compared with that of
Norway."
In his homeland, Sveinung attended
grade school and took a six months'
course in a business college. He came
to Canada in 1927, and to Bethel in
January, 1931. After his graduation
from the Academy this year, he plans
to attend either the Junior College
or the Seminary.
Walter C. Gran, Blind Dramatist
To Give "Sign of the Cross"
At Junior Entertainment
An innovation in Junior entertain-ments
is being offered Wednesday,
April 5, at 8 o'clock, by Walter C.
Gran, a blind dramatist and imperson-ator.
Mr. Gran is a man with spirit-ual
vision enough to compensate for
his physical loss. He will give "The
Sign of the Cross", an historical and
religious drama by Wilson Barrett,
which tells of the time of Nero.
Intensely exciting, full of dramatic
incidents, as the burning of Rome, the
reading holds one in suspense until
the powerful Roman Prefect is con-vinced
of the Christian girl's faith and
says "Go, tell Nero, Marcus too is a
Christian!"
S. AND C. CLUB REVEALS
NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
The curiosity of some of the boys
in the student body was finally satis-fied
when the S. and C. Club issued
a statement late last week as to the
exact nature of its work.
The letters, S. and C. previously
standing for "Stitch and Chatter," and
later held by some to mean "Strictly
Confidential" now are known to stand
for "Strictly Cultural". As the name
suggests, the Club is strictly cultural,
and the members are studying eti-quette.
"The subject fills a long felt
need among us, but why confine it to
the S. and C. Club alone?" writes one
of the girls. "Etiquette in all its
various phases is an asset to our am-bitions,
the observance of it places a
stamp of approval upon our lives
among our fellowmen and makes life
all the more worth living. Common
courtesy is necessary in all walks of
life, so why not start in our present
surroundings, at home and at school?"
Leading the discussions in the club
have been Alice Anderson, Olga An-derson,
and Lorraine Klein. Any ques-tion
is open for discussion and criti-cism.
A great deal of interest has
been shown by the girls, and the Club
promises to be a great success. It is
hoped that more will join it in the
near future.
Glen Clark, noted lecturer and pro-fessor
at Macalester College, address-ed
a large audience of students and
faculty on the subject of prayer at the
last College Club meeting, March 6.
"Prayer", he said, "is a means to an
end; a consciousness of God."
SEMINARY EDITOR RESIGNS
CLARION STAFF POSITION
Overwork Forces Landstrom to Dis-continue
Extra-Curricular
Activities
Because of his nervous condition,
Henning Landstrom has resigned his
position as Seminary editor of the
Clarion, and has withdrawn from all
other extra-curricular activities as
well. He has been a member of the
College Debating team and has also
taken an active part in the work of
the Student Volunteers and the Alexis
Society.
Tuesday, March 7, Henning under-went
a tonsil operation at Midway
Hospital. He reports that his condi-tion
is much improved, and he is back
in his classes this week.
His position as Seminary editor has
been assumed by Marian Berglund,
and the place on the debating squad
by Don Clover.
Basketball Players Entertained
In Home of Professor Carlson
GUESTS TAKE EXAMINATION
It seems that life is just a jig-saw
puzzle after all, the chief requisite
being to find where one fits—which is
exactly what a number of Bethel
students did on Friday evening, March
10, at the home of Professor and
Mrs. C. E. Carlson. They "fitted"
themselves into all sorts of chairs,
and made themselves sociable. In
fact, the whole affair was staged
because these young men had found
some places in life into which they
could fit—on the basketball team. As
a treat to the teams that represented
Bethel on the basketball floor this
year, Mr. Carlson provided an eve-ning
of genuine enjoyment.
When the entire group had as-sembled,
about forty in all, they im-mediately
began to fit pieces together
—pieces of jig-saw puzzles. These
being completed, the professor (even
at home) proceeded to give a quiz on
the ability to observe and remember
what had been seen. A few extem-poraneous
numbers followed. The
first was a reading by Donald Peter-son,
"Goldink Locks and the Three
Bears", the rounds of applause that
did not follow almost flooring the
reader. Franklin Nelson endeavored
to tell a Scotch joke, and some are
still wondering what the point of it
was; the laugh was enjoyed at Frank-lin's
expense if not the joke's.
A game that involved the juggling
of plates, cups, and sandwiches, cake,
and other good things was entered
into and enjoyed by all, concluding the
formal festivities.

Noted Archaeologist
Addresses Assembly
Faith in God Now Substantiated
By Known Scientific Facts,
Harry Rimmer Says
AUDIENCE HELD SPELLBOUND
BY FASCINATING PRESEN-TATION
"The Modern Mind
and the Ancient
Book" was the sub-ject
of the message
delivered by Harry
Rimmer, evangelist
a n d archaeologist,
who held his audi-ence
spellbound in
the combined chapel
service this morning.
He said in effect,
"Our fathers be-lieved
many things
by faith, for which
they were scorned by the wise• of this
world in their generation. But as the
years have slipped past, the research
of the ages has vindicated much that
they accepted by faith, so that today
we receive the same on the basis of
BOTH faith . . . and demonstrated
fact.
"It was a pure act of faith when
men of past generations believed the
Book to be true, as when it stated the
miracle of the axe head that floated
in response to Elisha's prayer. The
practical infidel could walk out to the
horse-trough and toss in an axe head,
and challenge the man of faith, say-ing,
'Now let's see that float!'
"Then men began to learn certain
of the minor laws that God had before
established, and they began to make
ships of iron and steel, until literally
millions of potential axe heads are
floating on the seven seas today!
Great war ships, whose combined
weight of metal in some individual
vessels would equal two million axe
heads, float serenely in defiance of
what was once called 'Natural Law':
and we accept this as natural today.
"So we say, 'If man, by the power
of his intelligence, can make iron and
steel float, is he then greater than his
Creator, to Whom he denies the power
to perform what man, the creature,
can accomplish ?' The problems of
miracles and the super-natural, then,
all check back to your philosophy of
God. The faith of the modern genera-tion
should be far greater than that
of any that preceded us, because we
have so much of fact to bolster up our
faith.
"If Your Philosophy of God Is That
He Cannot Do What Man Cannot
Comprehend, there is not much hope
or help for you. But if you believe
that God is superior in power to man's
comprehension, and your philosophy
of God is 'HE IS ABLE', there is no
problem of faith that would cause you
to stumble. Apply this rule to all the
miracles of the Old Testament, as well
as the New, and your doubts and dif-ficulties
will fade away, in the face
of a philosophy of God that holds Him
to be adequate to perform whatever
He desires."
SEMINARY STUDENT WEDS
HOMELAND SWEETHEART
Of much interest to Bethelites is
the wedding of Miss Greta Brandberg
to Arthur Hedlund, at 8 P. M. Mon-day,
March 20, at the home of Rev.
and Mrs. C. B. Sanders. The only
witnesses of the event were Miss
Margaret Hauglund and Millard Sun-din,
friends of the bride and groom.
The young couple were engaged to be
married before either of them came
to the United States from their home-land,
Sweden.
Arthur has discontinued his studies
in the Seminary and will be occupied
in selling Hurlbut's Bible Stories in
Portchester, N. Y., for which city the
bridal pair left Tuesday, March 21.

We Do Not Like to Mention It Again, But—
Let us take a sensible and thoughtful attitude
toward our advertisers. It is true that they are
friends of our school and of the Clarion and are
trying to help us, but this does not mean that
their resources are inexhaustible. They are as
dependent upon their incomes as we are. During
these times an outlay of money for advertise-ments
is a real sacrifice unless it brings some
return.
How would it be, if, as a result of our loyalty
to our school and to our school paper, and from
our sense of fairness, we would look over the ad-vertisements
that appear in each issue, and then
when we make a business transaction favor those
that have favored us ? Just to hear some cus-tomer
say "I noticed your advertisement in the
Clarion" would, we are sure, gratify an adver-tiser
for his effort and expense. And we are sure,
too, that our business staff would be thankful for
this help.
Speech
Americans are noted and criticized for their
careless manner of speaking, and rightly so. The
use of slang is a common characteristic of people
in every walk of life, among both the learned and
the unlearned. This is a deplorable state espe-cially
in our schools where good speech is taught,
yet seldom applied.
In contrast to this there are those whose
diction and purity of language is as music to one's
ears. It was our privilege a few years ago to hear
a series of messages by Gypsy Smith, who not
only by stirring appeal, but by use of pure, un-adulterated
language as well, held his audiences
enthralled. If he, with practically no schooling,
could acquire such beauty of language, how much
easier should it not be for us ?
Our personalities are revealed through our
speech. Are we true to ourselves ?
Who's Who
Miss Edith Louise Larson was born
in St. Paul. Attacked by serious ill-ness
at the age of six and thus pre-vented
from entering grade school
until she was nine, she proved her un-usual
talent and industry by complet-ing
the eight grades in four years,
graduating at thirteen.
At fifteen she entered Bethel Acad-emy,
completing the regular commer-cial
department the first year. She
then continued in the regular Aca-demic
Department, graduating in 1922
as the salutatorian of her class.
As soon as she had completed her
commercial course, she was employed
by Principal A. J. Wingblade as his
private secretary, a position she has
held continuously ever since, with the
exception of her Senior year, when
her heavy school work made it impos-sible
for her to carry the extra burden
of the office work.
For several years she has been tak-ing
Extension work at the University
of Minnesota, in addition to her
numerous office duties, with the in-tention,
presumably, of eventually
completing a course there.
There is not a member of the Bethel
family, past or present, since Edith
Larson made her entrance into our
midst, who is not better for having
known her. Her quiet, calm manner
at all times; her quick, ready sym-pathy;
her smiling willingness to help
anyone needing assistance, whether
it be student or faculty member; her
noble, self-effacing, truly Christian
character—this and much more has
endeared her to us all, and made her
presence indispensable in the office of
the Principal.

The Book Corner
By H. C. Wingblade
We come now with a book which has been off
the press for some time but which, nevertheless,
rn::st of our students have not had occasion to read:
BE GOOD TO YOURSELF by Orison Swett Marden
(Thomas Crowell Co.). Starting with the truth,
'As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," the
author launches his first premise, namely that vic-tory
must be within us if we are to succeed.
There is such a thing as false economy. Do not
hesitate to spend money on yourself for that which
will enrich your life and make you a greater asset
to society. However, do not waste money or energy
merely to keep up appearances.
Then we must all live in a world with other
people. The problem is to get along. The agree-able,
the generous, the loving soul has by far the
easiest time. Friction losses are eliminated, and all
that he is functions one hundred per cent. Keep a
level head, never swerve from the truth, sympathize
with fellowmen, and you have a chance in life.
Finally, use the great opportunities of friend-ship,
of home, and of loved ones. When the soul
bathes in such atmosphere, it gathers strength for
the strain of the world's work. After all, love and
joy and peace are the basic requisites for success.
Without those one may be a Napoleon, but never
truly great or really successful.
This book, as well as other books on choice of
vocation and success in life, may be found on the
center table in the library. Spend a half hour
browsing through some of them.
- A
Much Ado ..
Here Is An Opportunity to Help
Mr. Mentzer of the Burlington Road is making a
great effort to revise the ruling which prevented Dr.
Hagstrom from obtaining an annual pass on the Burling-ton
this year. He called the other day and said if they
could find some evidence of the school's really cooperating
to help secure business for the Road, it would be so much
easier for him to push this thing through. He wondered
if there could be some publicity made or some announce-ment
given that students who plan going on trips over
Easter vacation should call the downtown office or notify
the school office of their intentions instead of buying their
tickets at the railway stations. In that way Bethel will
receive credit for each ticket sold.
—The Office.
A Kind Word
How many of us have ever stopped to think that we
have a faithful engineer, who during these cold months
has had to stay up late at night and rise early in the
morning, that our buildings might be sufficiently warm.
No doubt it has been a thankless task these days to keep
within the limits of the budget allowed for fuel. It is
so easy for us to find fault and complain when things go
wrong, but we so often fail to show appreciation when we
are comfortable and contented. "Oh, yes," we say, "Mr.
Beck is paid for doing it." But haven't we all had our
burdens lightened by a smile from someone, a word of
encouragement or appreciation when engaged in some
unlovely task—duty though it may have been?
—Smiles.
Why Not?
Just before Founder's Day and the Student Volunteer
Conference, the halls on the first floor of the Academy
building took on an aspect of cleanliness which was dis-tinctly
unusual. One of the contributing factors of this
new appearance was the removal of all books and paper
from the tops of the mail boxes where they have been
an eye-sore for so long. As the students need to "park"
their belongings in some convenient place, and cannot put
them in the librkay or go to the locker room for every
book or paper, we wonder if it would be possible to put
shelves in an inconspicuous place where they may place
those articles. In that way we could help keep the build-ing
neat.
—Yours for Cleanliness.
Think On These Things
By Esther Sabel.
Our country is full of colleges, universities, and other
institutions of higher learning. Every year these turn
out hundreds of highly educated men and women, people
who are capable of building higher buildings, longer
bridges, faster automobiles, wonderful airplanes, and who
are constantly making new scientific discoveries. We can't
help but gaze and marvel and say, "Surely this is wisdom,
this is knowledge." This is our poor reasoning; but
what does God say? He doesn't mention building ma-chinery
and such things. He sees something far greater,
men who are far wiser, though they may lack education,
for He tells us, "He that winneth souls is wise. -
. Oh, that we, by the Grace of God might have true
wisdom. in that we are soul winners. In order to have
this wisdom, we need to be full of the Love of Jesus
Christ and fired with the same passion that caused Paul
to say, "I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in
my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed
from Christ, for my brethren."

Coach To Be Selected
Late This Week
PRACTICE BEGINS APRIL 1
Bethel, after a lapse of two years
from the national pastime, will be
represented through the Junior Col-lege
in the Southern Junior College
Conference race this spring.
The baseball coach will have a
wealth of material to choose from
when he launches his practice in an-other
two weeks, in preparation for
a schedule which calls for eight con-ference
games and a number of prac-tice
tilts. The majority of the players
are experienced having played on high
school teams or independent teams
either in the Twin Cities or elsewhere.
All the boys are eager to start and
all will be working hard to win a
regular berth on the team. The boys
will be giving the best they have to
make a success of the coming season,
and with cooperation and hustling will
turn the trick.
The conference schedule is as fol-lows:
May 3—Luther at Bethel
May 5—Bethany at Bethel
May 10—Bethel at Concordia

"SPORT SLANTS"
By A. J. Boylan
The Bethany students showed a
very friendly spirit toward the Bethel
students on their recent visit. This
fine spirit was evidenced when one of
the Luther boys came to the room of
a Bethel player and expressed his ap-preciation
of the fine treatment they
had received while at Bethel.
There are six boys in the academy
who are disheartened over the fact
that the academy is not to be repre-sented
with a tennis team. What can
we do about it, C. E.?
Two of the more distinguished
Bethel boys at Mankato were invited
to sit at the next-to-the-head table
by the appreciative Bethany students.
* * *
There were four rooters from Bethel
who attended the Dr. Martin Luther
game at New Ulm and made the
hundred D. M. L. C. students sound
as if they had laryngitis.
Since Bethel has gone athletically
minded, why not have a speaker or
two for our chapel period, to speak on
sportsmanship, etc. ? Undoubtedly
good speakers could be had from
athletes of Hamline, Macalester, or St.
Thomas.
Bethel Tops Bethany 36 to 29
REITZ STARS FOR INVADERS
WITH FOURTEEN POINTS
Led by Reitz, the star sharp-shooter
of the evening, Bethany put up a
strong but ineffectual fight to go down
to a 36 to 29 defeat.
The Bethel boys were hindered in
their shooting by a steam pipe a short
distance above one of the baskets but
nevertheless triumphed over the dif-ficulties
by dribbling in close and
making most of their points on short
shots. The points of the teams were
ACADEMY, JUNIOR COL-LEGE
TO ENTER TEAMS
IN TRACK EVENTS
THIS SPRING
Much Good Material in Evidence
By OLE NORSTEAD
The Bethel Academy and Junior
College track campaign promises to
put a fitting climax to a school year
of intense and interesting activities
all along the line.
It is a little early to say just what
is in prospect for the cinder path sea-son
this year, but with several of last
season's performers out and new
talent bidding for the right to take
over the throws, things look interest-ing
at least. Vic Johnson, Bethel's
all-around athlete, who has shown his
strength in field and track events in
the past, will be entered in a number
of events this coming campaign.
Hal Tasker, one of the point makers
of the academy team last year, will
be entered in the high jump and pole
vault this year.
Karl Koch, Bethel's distance man,
reports that he is in good form this
year, and has high hopes of finishing
on top, in the events in which he will
be entered. Others who are expected
to enter are: Henry Rahn and Don
Peterson in the 100 yard dash; Andy
Boylan and Don Peterson in the
hurdles. Don Tanquist will show his
wares in the 220 and 440 yard dashes.
Bob Wallin is expected to master the
art of pole vaulting for the coming
campaign, while Sig Forsmark is ex-pected
to exhibit his abilities in the
discus and shot-put events.
COLLEGE TEAM TAKES
DOCTOR MARTIN LUTHER
AND BETHANY GAMES
Koch Sinks Winning Goal Dur-ing
Last 20 Seconds of
Luther Game
In a sensational game at New Ulm,
Bethel nosed out Dr. Martin Luther
College 27 to 26. The contest was
probably the most interesting one of
the season with the score jockeying
back and forth, Bethel leading in the
first half by three points.
The second half opened with Koch
sinking a short shot, and from there
on it was anybody's game. This con-tinued
until there were only forty-five
seconds left to play when Bartels,
of Luther, sank a free throw giving
D. M. L. C. a one point lead. By this
time the grand stand players were on
their feet telling each team how to
play. With but twenty seconds left,
Koch dribbled the ball in past the
foul line for one of his famous short
shots to give Bethel a one-point lead
which it kept for the remaining few
seconds of the game. Koch was high
point man for the evening, with a
total of eleven points, nine of these
scored in the second half. Wallin as
forward also played a nice game,
scoring eight points.

PERSONAL EVANGELISM CLASS
HEARS GUEST SPEAKERS
"Spiritism" was the subject dis-cussed
by G. H. John, guest speaker
recently in Miss Esther Sabel's Per-sonal
Evangelism class. Mr. John
was for a number of years an active
Spiritualist, and the many experiences
that he related were instructive and
interesting. His message exemplified
the value and absolute necessity of
Christ in religion.
Experiences in tract distribution
were told by Mrs. B. H. Stahmer, on
March 10 in the same class. She said
that her husband decided several
years ago to write two tracts and that
at the present 150,000 of these tracts
have been distributed. Mrs. Stahmer
closed her lecture by telling of a num-ber
of outstanding people who have
been brought to Christ by the message
of a tract.
Dr. Hagstrom Greets School
In Letter From New York
Dr. Hagstrom, who has been spend-ing
several weeks in the East in the
interests of Bethel, writes, "Kindly
greet all at school and thank them
for the prayers that I feel they are
extending in my behalf." During his
stay in New York Dr. Hagstrom at-tended
the meeting of the Board of
Directors of the American Baptist
Foreign Mission Society, of which he
is a member. He will return home
Tuesday, March 28.
CHAPEL SERIES OF VOCATIONAL
TALKS INTEREST STUDENTS
The chapel committee is planning
a series of vocational talks in order
to help students in their thinking in
the matter of vocational choice. One
of these talks was given on March 9
by Henry Marks, St. Paul attorney,
who spoke on the legal profession as
a life calling. On March 16, Mr. J. 0.
Christiansen, principal of the Farm
School, addressed the students on
"Foundation Principles."
Other speakers scheduled in the im-mediate
future are Dr. W. F. Widen
on the "Medical Profession" and Miss
Julia Newton of the Home Economics
Department of the Agricultural Col-lege
on the subject of "Home-mak-ing."
MUSICAL NOTES
Plans are being made for a Music
Festival to be held during the month
of May. All the Swedish Baptist
Church choirs of the Twin Cities will
unite in this concert which will be di-rected
by Prof. George Hultgren. Pro-ceeds
of the concert will go to Bethel
Institute.

A baton fabricated from fifteen
different kinds of wood, collected from
all parts of the world, was presented
recently to Prof. Hultgren by the
Odin Male Chorus of which he is the
director.
-o-
Prof. Theodore Bergman was se-lected
as one of the organists to play
for the National Association of School
Superintendents last week at the
Minneapolis Auditorium. Mr. Berg-man
will give another program of
organ music at the Auditorium in
the near future. This will be broad-cast
over radio station WCCO. Watch
for further announcement of date.
Students are invited to attend spe-cial
meetings to be held at the Cen-tral
Swedish Baptist church, March
26 to April 16. The well known
evangelist, the Rev. Ray York, will be
the speaker each evening of the week
except Mondays and Saturdays.
AMONG THE GRADS
March 15, 1933
Dear Eleanore:
I just heard today about the death
of Mrs. Nichols and hasten to ex-press
to you and Mr. Nichols our
sincere sympathy in your bereave-ment.
We were thinking of you today and
thought you would enjoy hearing
some of the latest news. Perhaps
Margaret and Carol keep you so busy
that you haven't time to wonder much
about Bethel. Surely you don't find
time to keep up with any extensive
correspondence.
What an enviable record you hold,
after all, Eleanore, to have made con-tacts
with so many Bethelites who are
now scattered throughout this country
as well as in foreign lands. Do you
recall Eric Sjolund's beaming smile
as he brought his bride to Bethel the
last year he was here ? Mrs. Sjolund
writes that they are enjoying the
work at Custer, Washington, more and
more as the days go by. She includes
in her letter a greeting from Hulda
Nelson who you recall had to discon-tinue
her studies at Bethel because of
ill health. She is rapidly improving
in health and looks fine.
Alphin "Shorty" Conrad of Luding-ton,
Michigan is assisting Bill Back-lund
of Virginia in evangelistic serv-ices.
Dan Cupid is still at work among
the Bethel grads. Brainerd Christie,
brother of Mrs. Alphin Conrad, is the
latest one to send in an announcement
of his marriage—to Eradney Ryder
March 10. They will be at home in
Brooklyn, New York.
The Class of 1921 has reason to be
proud of one of its members, Barthel
Jacobson who, upon graduation from
Colgate-Rochester Seminary in New
York, was called to fill the pulpit of
the First American Baptist Church
at Cleveland, Ohio.
The St. Paul Dispatch conveyed the
sad news of the passing away of one
of our alumni, Margaret Storvick of
the class of 1928. She died on Friday,
March 10.
Since this letter is to be a news let-ter,
we have picked up some news
from across the seas: Ruth Johnson-
Engwall—of the class of 1917, with
her four girls is sailing from Africa
for the United States March 23. They
expect to stop in Sweden on their way
home. We hope they won't make
their stop in Sweden too long.
The letters these folks write are
real stories of adventure and we wish
we could send you copies of them. We
understand the Baptist Evangel pub-lishes
excerpts of these letters.
Have you seen the Clarion that is
being published this year ? It's just
teeming with interesting material
from "kiver to kiver" and they have
reserved a large space for the Alumni
Association. It would be fine if we
as alumni could reciprocate in some
way. How about swelling the sub-scription
list and contributing some-thing
interesting to the alumni col-umn.
This could be taken up at our
next alumni get-together.
Alumni are asking if we are to have
a Banquet again this spring. Have
you heard anything about it ? Can't
we have one in honor of the incoming
alumni despite the depression ? How
you used to work for these get-to-gethers
and how successful they were!
I am sending you a copy of this
issue of, the Clarion so that you may
see "wh'so who" this time — an-other
of our alumni who has become
famous. Well, she deserves it.
Sincerely,
—ALUMNUS.

Campus News
David Guston, Seminary, has a B. S.
degree from the University of New
Hampshire, and is an architect by
trade ? He has made many of the
drawings displayed in the chemistry
laboratory.
The Seminary and Missionary
Training students have been fortunate
in having Dr. Hagstrom lecture to
them from time to time on the Swed-ish
Baptists of America. He has
traced them from a very small begin-ning
through periods of trial and dif-ficulty
until their establishment as a
denomination; the history of our
school and its founders; the growth
of our general conference to its pres-ent
vast field of service. He em-phasized
the need for willing men
and women to do pioneer work even
today in our own coountry and in
foreign lands. The impression and
inspiration created by the story of
the enduring faith and perseverance
of the originators of this work will
not soon be forgotten.
The sleek and well-fed appearance
of Vern and Sam Wessman, Don
Peterson, and Vic Johnson is easy to
understand when we learn that they
have moved into a bachelor apartment
and are doing their own cooking. "Aw
g'wan, I've got to go home and peel
spuds," was the response received by
a Clarion reporter when she approach-ed
Don for an interview.
At a recent meeting the Academy
Juniors appointed committees to ar-range
for the Junior-Senior Banquet
and the Junior Program. Ticket sale
for the program began last Friday
with brisk competition between the
members of the class. They invite
the student body to cooperate in mak-ing
the entertainment a success.
A new system with the cafeteria
style of serving has been adopted by
the Seminary Boarding Club, which
for financial reasons has been forced
to reorganize. Only five of the for-mer
working crew have been retained,
including the cook, Miss Vera Ander-son,
and the steward, Nathan Essel-strom.
It is hoped that the new plan will
enable the members of the club to get
their meals much more cheaply.

Expensive Change
Prof. Nordstrom: "What is the

"Borrow a shirt and come anyway"
was the return wire.
Labyrinth
Perhaps you have heard about the
big panic in New York City. The
Brooklyn Bridge is suspended, the
subway is in the hole, the Chrysler
Building is up in the air, and the ele-vated
roads have run over thousands
of people. But in spite of it all the
New Yorkers are going about their
business in a very unconcerned man-ner.—
Watchman-Examiner.
But Gets Nowhere
Albin C.: "Say, did you hear that
Victor Ernest has a job travelling this
summer ?"
Cliff. D.: "No, is that right ?"
Albin: "Yeah, he's going to collect
tickets on a merry-go-round."
A polished girl does not mean one
whose conversation always casts a re-flection
on somebody.
