Both valedictorians, Charles An-derson
and Delmar Dahl, spoke at
the Class Day excercises Wednes-day.
During the awards chapel Tues-day,
Barbara Olander, editor of
the yearbook, dedicated the 1954
SPIRE to the retiring president,
H. C. Wingblade and the former
dean of the college, C. E. Carlson.
This double dedication was giv-en
to Drs. Wingblade and Carlson
because of their influence on the
lives of students and faculty dur-ing
their years at Bethel, and be-cause
of their undying interest in
students. Barbara expressed her
thanks for the encouragement giv-en
by these men towards the work
of the SPIRE, and dedicated it to
them as a remembrance of their
years at Bethel.
This year's 136 page SPIRE is
distinctly different than other
years because of its shape. Instead
of the former 8"x11" size, it is an
oblong 71/2"x103/4" with a padded
bluish-grey cover.
Congratulations to the editor,
Barbara Olander; assistant editor,
Marlys Malmsten; layout editor,
Frank Shindo; and all of the staff
for their efficient work on this
year's SPIRE.
Judges for the contest were
Deans Edwin Omark and Carl
Lundquist, Dr. Anton Pearson, Dr.
Virginia Grabill, and Wendell
Anderson.
High Hopes
Next Fall?
Entrance applications for the fall
quarter this year are running
about 30 percent ahead of applica,
tions at the same time last year,
reports College office secretary Ed-na
Schultz. This may not actually
mean such a dramatic increase as
the figures seem to show, she ex-plained.
It is too early to make any
predictions, since this trend may
not continue throughout the sum-mer.
But it seems fairly certain
that Bethel, in common with other
colleges all over the nation, is
growing and will keep on growing.
Baccalaureate services will be
held Sunday afternoon, May 30,
at 4:00 P.M. in the college chap-el.
Dr. Henry Wingblade will give
the Baccalaureate address. This
will be one of his last official acts
as president of Bethel College and
Seminary. Special music will be
presented, in accordance with
tradition, by the chapel choir un-der
the direction of Prof. C. How-ard
Smith.
Following the service, there will
be a social hour with refreshments
served in the dining hall in the
basement of the girls' dormitory.
All are invited to attend.
Money Granted
Chem. Dept.
Dr. David Nelson, assistant pro-fessor
of chemistry, announced
this week that a $300 grant has
been awarded the chemistry de-partment
by the American Acad-emy
of Arts and Sciences.
Granted on the basis of appli-cation
and correspondence with
Professor Gilliand, head of the de-partment
of Chemical Engineering
at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, this fund will be for
the purchasing of equipment in
connection with research to be
done in the chemistry lab. Dr.
Nelson's research will be done in
synthetic organic chemistry.
Equipment will be purchased
and research will be done begin-ning
in the summer months.
New appointments have
been made for next year's
CLARION staff which include
Eugene Sprinkel, sports editor
and Ripley Moore, feature ed-itor.
Dale Nystrom is the newly-appointed
editor.

Page 2 THE CLARION Friday, May 28, 1954
Our Thanks to President Wingblade
President H. C. Wingblacie, D.D.
Dr. Wingblade once wrote in his column, "Gems of Thought," these
words, " . . . the needs of the world are calling poignantly for people
'who 'care.' " Dr. Wingblade for many years at Bethel has been answer-ing
that call. It is because he cares that he has dedicated the richest
and most productive years of his life to Bethel. It is because he cares
that he has expended his energy and time in the task of preparing
men and women for effective Christian living and service. It is because
he cares that he has lived a life worthy of emulation by every earnest
Christian student.
There are many facets to the life of a great man. Anyone of them
would be worthy of the finest efforts of the most capable literary art-irst.
For an artist to compose a great display of words in tribute to the
splendid and faithful service of Dr. Wingblade would no ■. ae difficult.
But unfortunately, neither would it be effective. Words are simply not
an adequate medium for the significant expression of appreciation
and gratitude.
If we, as products of the influence of Dr. Wingblade, are to ex-press
ourselves well, it must be in the sphere of action. The genuine-ness
or our gratitude will best be proved by how quickly and faith-fully
we too answer the call of the world's needs. To follow well the
steps of the Master is to fulfill completely Dr. Wingblade's desires for
us.
Dante once wrote, " . . . I am the man who, when Love lectures
in the heart, takes notes, and then retells the lessons to the rest of
men." Dr. Wingblade must have listened well and taken careful notes,
for he has taught us many lessons.
Wendell Anderson
It is difficult for any of us to realize that Dr. Wingblade has
passed his 70th birthday and must retire this fall. We can hardly
imagine Bethel without him. For over 37 years he has peen a spiritual
giant on the campus — 24 as professor of English and 13 as president.
Today he is the most distinguished link between Bethel's inspiring
past and her challenging future.
One of the unusual features of Bethel has been the longevity of
her administrative leaders. In the long history of the school there
have been only two presidents—Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom from the
merger of the seminary and academy in 1914 until 1941, and Dr. H. C.
Wingblade from 1941 to 1954. Such loyalty has given the school sus-tained
and creative leadership. This closing year of Dr. Wingblade's
leadership has seen Bethel reach its highest enrollment, its largest
faculty, and its greatest campus valuation.
Throughout the years Dr. Wingblade has been a gracious, sympa-thetic,
and humble administrator. He has left a mark for God on the
campus that the years will never erase. We are better, and the school
'is better, and the denomination is better becaues God led Dr. Wing-blade
to us. As we see him, like Paul, we thank God and take courage.
Dean Lundquist
Bethel has a right to be proud of its retiring president, H. C. Wing-blade.
For years Dr. Wingblade has done outstanding work in the col-lege
and during that time, students have come to love his radiant Chris-tian
life and his humble devotion to His task as a servant of God.
Born on a farm in Kansas, Henry C. Wingblade attended the public
schools of Pittsburg, Kansas, and high school in Topeka, Kansas. At the
age of eight, in 1892, Dr. Wingblade was converted, and December 31,
1900 he was baptized and joined the Western Avenue Baptist Church of
Topeka. At that church he was choir director, young people's president
and served in other capacities.
Dr. Wingblade received his baccalaureate degree by graduation from
Washburn College in Topeka, Kansas in 1910 and after doing graduat,1
work at the University of Chicago and at the University of Minnesota,
he received his M.A. from the University of Minnesota. On coming to
the Twin Cities, he united with the Elim Baptist Church of Minneapolis,
and then became active as Sunday School teacher,. Y.P. president, Twin
City B.Y.P.U. president, State B Y.P.U. president, and chairman of the
Young People's Commission of the General Conference for seven years.
Dr. Wingblade was head of the English Department and also taught
other subjects in Bethel Academy from 1910-1936, and in Bethel Junior
College from 1931-1938. tIn 1938 Dr. Wingblade was called to serve as
pastor of the Addison Street Baptist Church in Chicago, and left there in
1940 when the Swedish General Conference called him to the presidency
of Bethel Institute. Since 1941, Dr. Wingblade has guided the affairs
of Bethel through its junior college days and its expansion into a four-year
college in 1947.
Dr. Wingblade was married September 27, 1917 to Gunhild Hag-strom.
The Wingblades are parents of four daughters.
An outstanding event in the life of Mr. Wingblade was when the
Northern Baptist Seminary of Chicago conferred on him the degree of
Doctor of Divinity on February 26, 1943.
Dr. Wingblade has been a great _contribution to the growth of Beth-el,
both scholastic and spiritually. His wisdom and understanding of
young people have been influential in the lives of many. His congenial
personality and his consistent Christ-like life will never be forgotten by
Bethel students and faculty.
At this time of your retirement, we say "thank you," President
Wingblade, for your years of devoted service to God and to Bethel. May
His richest blessings be yours as you continue in His service.
To write an appreciation of President Wingblade is both easy and
difficult. When we think of his significant association with Bethel over
the years, it becomes a pleasure to say "Thank you." Difficulty arises
from realization of the fact that his official duties as president must
soon terminate.
My colleagues in the Seminary would join me in expressing the most
heartfelt gratitude to our beloved president. At all times he has proved
himself a true friend and counselor. He Understands the significance
of the Seminary in relation to the denomination and has unfailingly
sought to strengthen the tie between them. In the development of the
Seminary program, any plans that meant progress and growth have had
his unqualified support.
Above all we have appreciated President Wingblade's fellowship in
prayer. We shall never forget his faithful participation in the faculty
prayer meetings.
Our lives are richer because this man of God has labored among us.
Thank you, brother Wingblade.

GERMAN CLUB
Monday noon, May 17, the Ger-man
club held its last meeting of
the school year. After eating
lunch together in the dining hall,
the group assembled in the lounge
of the girls' dormitory. An instal-lation
service for the next year's
officers was held in German. They
are: president, Al Moyer; vice-pres-ident,
Dave Clark; secretary-treas-urer,
Barbara Martin; and social
chairmen, Dorothy Iblings and
John Swanson. Following the serv-ice,
Friedhelm Redandt, student
from Germany, spoke briefly ox,
what Bethel has meant to him.
Friedhelm will be returning to Ger-many
at the close of the school
year.
CAMERA CLUB
The Camera Club has elected
Bob Carlson as its president for
the next school year.
Ed Erickson was chosen vice-president.
Pearl Anderson will be
secretary and Bonnie Carlson,
treasurer.
It is several years now since Richard Ellsworth Day came out with
"The Bush Aglow"—the life of Dwight L. Moody. It was a good titk
for the story of a great life—endued with a great Christ.
It is a marvelous thing to be a child of light. Jesus intimates
clearly and emphatically that there are children of light and children
of darkness—children of God and children of the devil. But if one is
a child of light then beams will go out in every direction and one
becomes a help and a blessing to the environment.
They tell us that a candle wick so small that it can scarcely be
seen fifty feet when not lighted—that this wick, when lighted and
conditions are favorable, will send its beams fifty miles through a
dark night. This illustrates the far-reaching influence of a "lighted
life. 91
A life divinely lighted is a victorious life: it is a giving or radiant
life; and it is a life that is efficacious—it makes its impact on the
darkness. The pages of history are aglow, here and there with the
;bright radiance of men who have been imbued with that glorious
light.
When John Payton came to the cannibal islands of the Pacific,
chieftain after chieftain fell at the foot of the Cross, transformed by
the light of his gospel. One chieftain told Dr. Payton that when he had
landed on those shore he hated him and wanted to kill him, but the
light of the gospel conquered.
And so, as we go out into the summer months and into the years
ahead, may our light so shine before men that they may see our good
works and glorify our Father which is in heaven.
"I saw a human life ablaze with God and felt the power divine,
As through an empty vessel of frail clay I saw the glory shine.
I woke from dream and cried aloud—Oh Father, give to me
The blessing of a life consumed by God that I might live for Thee."

Friday. May 28, 1954 Royals Capture Finale
Baseball Team Splits at
Luther and Bethany
The Bethel Royals collected a
split last week end as they en-countered
Martin Luther of New
Ulm and Bethany of Mankato,
In the Friday afternoon affair,
the Royals squared off against the
starting Luther hurler for 13 hits
and 11 runs while holding his
mates to 4 runs. Frank Burleson,
Bethel fast-ball pitcher, began the
slug-fest in the first inning with a
mighty triple, and before the in-ning
was over the opponents' pit-cher
remembered that he hadn't
taken a shower before the game
and thought that now was as good
a time as any to make up for his
forgetfulness. He turned in his
glove for a bar of soap and spent
the rest of the afternoon in the
shower room.
Up until this game, the Luther
diamond squad had been unde-feated
in college play. Several Be-
An accredited school of
thel sluggers claimed that this
was their best game of the seas-on
(naturally—with the score 11-
4).
In the Saturday fray with Be-thany,
which incidentally turned
out to be a contest to see who
could keep their feet the longest
on the wind-swept diamond, the
Bethel crew fared somewhat
worse. They were swept away to
a 13-9 defeat. Stahnke was assign-ed
the chuckin' chores and lasted
until the middle of the fourth in-ning.
Brunzell, in his only mound
appearance of the year, came in
and suceeded in slowing down the
barrage.
The Royals jumped into the
lead with a seven run fourth in-ning,
sparked by Dale Larson's
three run triple, only to fall be-hind
later in the contest.
Netmen Fizzle
In Last Match
The Bethel netters received the
season's second loss at the hands
of the St. Thomas tennis team.
Paul Sandberg said that the score
4-1, was not indicative of the play
of the team.
Roger Berg, Paul Sandberg, and
Cal Edlund dropped their singles
matches. Paul Sandberg and Lar-
,ry Van Heerden teamed up for
the only victory in a doubles
match. Cal Edlund and Roger
Berg lost the other doubles match.
Thus the netters finished out
.a very successful season on a sour
note. The play of the team
throughout the season has been
very good in many spots. An en-couraging
aspect was the excel-lent
play of newcomers Paul Sand•
berg and Larry Van Heerden. As
a whole, it has been a good year
in tennis.

Al looked very effective for six
innings, but in the seventh inning
two successive singles by Luther
brought in Frank Burleson. Frank
got out of the jam by having the
next batter hit into an inning-ending
double play.
The Royals looked very adept at
fielding and the fact that there
was only one error added much to
the pitching efforts of Stahnke
and Burleson. The victory was
heightened by the fact that Luth-er
had lost only one previous
game, and that to none other titan
our up-and-coming Royals, May 22.
The hitting was limited, but the
big poke was provided by Frank
Burleson, who knocked a su.th-inning
homer into right-center
field. In fact, it was so well tag-ged
that Stahnke wanted to get
out his tape measure and "check
the distance.
With a season's record of five
and four, coach Lundin felt that
the boys did adequately. He said
that if the boys eat red cabbage
during the summer, they should

Great news for all Royal sport's enthusiasts. Coach Lundin has
posted the football schedule for next fall's competition. And get a
load of this . . . it's not in the least an outclassed schedule; but it's
one that should give the Royal gridmen a rough time on the turf. Some
of the newcomers are Itasca, Jamestown, and Hibbing. Old-timers in-clude
Northland (Homecoming), Wahpeton, Augsburg, and Worthington.
And get a load of this . . . the first game is scheduled for Sept.
18th with Itasca (there). Those gridmen planning to play next fall can
plan to come out two weeks early. The experience of the Berg twins,
Dikkers, Brunzell, Brayton, Erickson, Dalton, Peterson, Pople, Seaquist,
Steinhaus, Sundeen, and Wallberg, who are all lettermen, should make
tip one of the most dynamic grid-squads Bethel has yet had.
