Debaters look forward
to a great year
by Merile·e Dyer
Allie Jo Moore, Bob Elliot, Julie Palen
and Dan Nelson will compose the varsity
debate team representing Bethel at the
White Water, Wisc. tournament this Saturday.
Dave Peterson, Fred Ogimachi,
Bruce Riley and Terry Leafblad wil debate
as novices in this first meet of the
year. The team plans to be back Saturday
night.
rfheir topic for this year will discuss
the right of the American citizen to
personal privacy and the conflict it creates
with public safety and national security.
The debaters must be prepared
to take either side of the argument as
they compete in different tournaments.
As the team goes from one tournament
to another they will be constantly changing
and rebuilding their defenses.
The debaters received the topic last
July and the composite of three months
research has been condensed on mounds
of white 4" x 5" cards; they can be easily
recognized by the index files under
their arms. Marg Erickson, the coach,
describes the debaters as having the typical
feeling of "I'm not prepared," as
they go into their first round. They will
be judged on their analysis, approach,
reasoning, organization, evidence and refutation
(defense).
"I really feel lost," Marg said. "I'm
not sure where to begin picking things
up ; so much of the information is secret
and undercover. How can you control a
topic like this?"
Last year, in Houston, Tex. the team
placed in the toy one third of the naton.
During the last tournament the team placed
first and Alie J 0 Moore took first
place as the top speaker. This year the
team hopes to place in a qualifier tournament.
If they win al their rounds they
will be able to go to the National Tournament
held in Missouri this year.
Homecoming activities for alumni
will begin Friday, October 8, with the
Centennial Banquet and continue
through Saturday evening's entertainment
for students and alumni in the
fieldhouse.
The Centennial Banquet, which is a
kick-off ot the weekend activities, also
officially marks the conclusion of Bethel's
centennial celebration. A festive
night at the new Radisson South near
Southdale is planned for the Centennial
Banquet. The 1971 Homecoming Queen
and her court will welcome the alumni.
Current progress reports will be presented
to update the guests, and student
testimonies will be heard.
Of special interest on Saturday's
schedule is the Forum luncheon, designed
as an open discussion with Dean
Virgil Olson and selected faculty and
administrators. According to John W.
Carlson, Director of Alumni Affairs,
this will be a "first" for Homecoming
activities. Alumni will be informed about
Bethel's current program, the direction
it is moving, and the most pressing issues
facing the campus right now. Alumni
will be encouraged to contribute suggestions
as to ways Bethel can sterngthen
and improve its program.
An evening of fun and relaxation in
the fieldhouse entitled "SPECTRUM"
will utilize talents of both faculty and
students in the conclusion of the Homecoming
. weekend.

Spiritual Emphasis Week
by Joey Healy
Spiritual Emphasis Week is all over,
but what of the impact? Or wasn't there
any? Reactions were widely varied; how
did you feel?
Pastor Maurice Lawson explains what
happened. "This is the third year that
we have had a group of people living
with us during Spiritual Emphasis Week.
The first year Lambert Dolphin brought
a team with him. We had considerable
concern that year because he was slow
getting the members, but it turned out
great, with solid Christian men of various
backgrounds. Last year, we chose
the membership of the team, and we
were all, I believe, quite pleased with
the people who came.
"This year, we asked Roger Fredrikson
to form a team and come to us, of
people who are involved with the Faithat-
work movement, in which he himself
has been a leader. One of our main purposes
in this week was to open lines
of communication between people and
with God. Their approach seemed to be
what we wanted.
"As it turned out, we had something
else develop. He was not able to pull
together the people he had anticipated.
And he, himself, was not able to stay
on campus through the week. To say
that I was distressed would be putting it
mildly.
"We could not have the extensive
personal counseling appointment schedules
that we have had other . years. And
the chapel services were sometimes less
than dynamic. But I decided at the beginning
of the week that God would have
something for us, even though the media
would be different. And I think
others responded · in similar ways, and
received much help."
And some people were helped by the
week's events.
'Spiritual Emphasis Week was really
fine," says Sheryl Williams. "The speakers
were, I think, really down-to-earth.
I hope the unity Bethel has experienced
throughout this week won't become a
the week's meetings. I feel no climax
this year, just a joy in the unfathomable
potential of Christ's love. There have
been a lot of really heavy things for
us to think about and to act upon."
Mark Olsen adds that "last year's
Spiritual Emphasis Week was such a
Students pray together in the center of campus after a chapel service
during Spiritual Emphasis Week.
thing of the past, just because those
people who initiated it have gone on
to other things."
Debi Walker points out that "what
really hit me was that people were willing
to come and share with us their
relationship with Christ."
Many individuals thought that the
Week was almost played down, and that
too few people really knew what was
going on. Yet, perhaps in a way this is
not so unfortunate.
Linda Larson explains it this way.
"Perhaps this wouldn't apply to the
whole campus, but I feel that this year's
Deeper Life Week wasn't quite as "exciting"
as the past two. It seems like the
climax of other years has been during
dramatic change that it caused confusion
later on in the year. But this year
it seemed to be more down-to-earth."
For some, the week was a disappointment.
"I agree that it was okay for the
people from Sioux Falls to share with
us the happiness in their lives because
they knew Jesus. But it didn't exactly
thrill me to go to chapel to hear that
they didn't even know why they were
there; and I don't think that holding
hands in a circle and saying a prayer
to the chair next to you is exactly a
challenge. The only challenge is to determine
who can squeeze who's hand the
hardest.
"But," continues Steve Jergenson, "I
went back to the evening meeting Thurs-
Pastor Fredrikson of Sioux Falls headed up the Spiritual Emphasis Week program with a warm and friendly
spirit.

day because I felt something worthwhile
was being presented."
Jill Harle also appreciated the evening
meetings. "I 'was really blessed by
the Monday night meeting. We sat in
groups of five or six, and shared and
prayed. It was great becoming better
friends with other Christians.
"The fellowship in our dorm with "the
Grandma' was good, too. She was a wonderful
person."
Bob Pedersen "liked the approach of
having laymen rather than high-powered
evangelists coming to share Christ.
One thing that really hit me was a question
raised at Thursday evening's meeting:
what is our motivation? Do I do
things for Christ, or for self? I had to
stop and ask myself if I did such things
as going to the wing prayer meeting because
of Christ, or so that I would not
be thought of as being unspiritual."
Mark Howard adds that "it has been
good to hear about how the Lord has
been working in the lives of young and
old."
And Bob Coombe thought "the speakers
were great for the simple reason
that they were real. They shared and
loved. The chapels were great because
of the people."
Pastor Lawson sums it up this way:
"The small group experiences in the
evenings were deeply meaningful to
many. AI! of the guests loved God and
were anxious to share. If Christianity is
common people sharing their experiences
with God, "breaking bread together,"
then we were on line last week.
"I thank God for the friends of all
ages who left school, home, and work
last week to be available for God's use."
So Spiritual Emphasis Week meant
different things to different people. Perhaps,
with more thorough planning, next
year can be great for everyone.

Regents
by Mark Steward
At the Bethel College Board of Regents
meeting Friday, September 27, Violet
Bergquist, language educator at the University
of Illinois, became the first female
member of the Board of Regents
since 1949.
A petition noting the lack of female
representation on the board was circulated
in February, 1971, by Mrs. Margaret
Dewey and signed by 250 students,
faculty members, and alumni. The petition
was sent to the 1971 nominating
committee of the Baptist General Conference,
who nominated Miss Bergquist.
A graduate of Wheaton College and
the University of Chicago, Miss Bergquist
has studied or taught languages
at nine universities and colleges, including
Bethel. She is presently leading
a special senior seminar in Spanish at
the University of Illinois Chicago Circle
campus.
Commenting on "women's liberation,"
Miss Bergquist said, "I think of myself
as an educator and I don't think of women's
liberation as a cause I must serve.
I'm not that strong for women's liberation."
Miss Bergquist said she- was concerned
that Bethel keep a conservative, Christian
emphasis while upgrading and constantly
improving the quality of education.
"There is no limit to what could
be done in education and Bethel should
be in the lead, especially now in the days
of the 'Jesus movement'."
Nov. 6 Moratorium
others are urged to select a date for
activities showing their opposition to
the war. November 3rd is set as a student
"strike" when students are urged
to reach out to their surrounding communities.
The climax of these activities
occurs on November 6tll' when there will
be mass marches in about fifteen major
metropolitan centers including Minneapolis.
It is predicted that the march in
Minneapolis alone will draw a million
people from all walks of life, the largest
march ever in the Twin Cities.
The endorsements for the fall program
are unprecedented in the history
of the anti-war movement. In this area,
the local AFL-CIO, the Greater Metro-

e."
Commenting on her fellow board members,
Miss Bergquist said she was impressed
by their devotion and their expertise
in various fields, and added, "I
consider it a great privilege to serve
with them on the board."
The Board of Regents serves as a
liaison between the Baptist General
Conference and Bethel College and Seminary,
according to Miss Bergquist. The
board's approval is needed for the hiring
of faculty, curriculum changes, and
apportionment of funds for the various
college departments. Miss Bergquist
said she is kept in contact with events
at Bethel through correspondence from
President Lundquist's office.
Miss Bergquist is president of the
National Federation of Modern Language
Teacher's Association and a member of
the Board of Trustees for the Fridheim
Baptist Home for the Aged. She is also
a member of the Committee for Spanish
Evangelistic Radio Ministries, which is
sponsored by the Baptist General Conference.
politan Federation, the Minneapolis
Federation of Teachers, the BiPartisan
Caucus-Executive Committee, to mention
a few, have thrown their support behind
it and urge all those they represent to
take an active part. Political leaders
such as Gov. Wendell Anderson, Lt. Gov.
Rudy Perpich, and Congressmen Joseph
Karth and Donald Frazer have all urged
the public to participate. On September
10, the Minneapolis City Council passed
by an overwhelming majority of 11 to 2
a resolution designating November 6 as
Peace Action Day urging "that where
possible, our citizens and their representatives
participate in: the peace assemblies
of the day."

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who hath made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him; bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting,
And His faithfulness to all generations.
As Christians, what is our "obligation" to the political
system?
Is the political system a neutral entity, where religious
views are of no consequence?
Is Christian political life merely accepting the political
life, be it conservative or revolutionary, of the time and becoming
involved in it?
Is there such a thing as "Christian politics"?
All around us we see Christians mimicing the political

right and political left, using "Jesus" as a rubber-stamp to
"OK" their political actions. On the right we have the Romans
13 advocates who use this as a "proof text" for "OK-ing"
the status quo; on the left we have Revelations 13 to "OK"
revolution.
Could it be that both sides are missing the point?
Both sides presuppose that the ' system should serve man,
(the "right", those in power, the "left", those out of power).
Can the one whose life has been presented to God as a living
sacrifice in service agree to this?
I think not.
Christian politics is not a man-centered activity but an
effort to administer the world as a service of God Who is
sovereign in the world. The object of the Christian political
task is a witness, not winning at the polls. We are to stand
firmly proclaiming the name of the Lord before all the false
gods of this age that seek to direct the political aspect of
creation.
Does this mean that we "shove Jesus down everyone's
throat"?
Not at all! We first try to bring out into the open that
there is no such thing as neutral politics. That all of one's
life is in service to a god (throughout the Old Testament the
question is never "Do you believe in God?" But rather "Which
god do you follow?") If we believe in this neutrality, where
no religious direction may enter in, we are left with a false
common denominator of Man's reasoning powers and a beatific
spirit - Humanism, which in all fairness must be recognized
as a religion, a value, a direction, and a world view.
Christians must show an alternative, a third way. Christians
must work toward having our country recognize once again
a true religious pluralism in society. This pluralism will allow
all the different value systems a voice not only in private,
but a representative voice in public.
Such action in education would manifest itself in the form
of "public support for all public schools." Once it is recognized
that the "public schools" today are really religiously
oriented by Humanism (man as the measure of all things) and
not "neutral" in respect to religion, we can put an end to the
discrimination against Christians, Jews, Catholics, Mormons
etc., who must support religious schools not of their belief.
Coming up next ... The Welfare State.

Interim ~72 in Europe
by Brenda Barth
Interim 1972 at Bethel will mean European travel to some
150 students. These students, from the departments of music,
art, drama, and foreign languages, have a busy four weeks
ahead in Jam.lary. Organizers of the touring groups are Dr.
Robert Berglund, director of the college choir; Dale Rott,
professor of speech; Eugene Johnson of the art department;
and Heidi Waitschies, instructor of German.
This is a humanities tour sponsored by the college choir.
The students will receive one class credit for the art, drama,
or German culture studies. Credit for college choir members
will be in coordination with all three.
Each of the groups has a definite area of study or performance
which will absorb most of the time overseas. There
will be, however, time for interaction among the students
in the different divisions.
"Hopefully we will have a two or three day retreat together
in Zurich, Switzerland, toward the end of the tour.
There will be some sort of recreation, probably skiing, and a
spiritual emphasis," Miss Waitschies said.
President Lundquist will be on the tour and will contribute
to this special feature.
She added, "The groups will overlap somewhat in their
areas of interest so we will have some time with each of the
other groups."
Interim: Europe is open to any Bethel student, alumnus,
or affiliated friend, who is interested. Openings are
available in art, drama, and German groups. Those in charge,
Robert Berglund, Heidi Waitschies, Eugene Johnson, and Dale
Rott, welcome inquiries.
The countries to be toured from December 30 -
January 29 are East and West Germany, Switzerland, Holland,
England, Wales, Austria, and the art tour will also
visit France.
The 70 college choir members will be presenting 15-18
concerts in cathedrals arrd concert halls.
"We have discovered that because interest in the
literate arts is so high in Europe, they are responsive to the
kind of experience our choir provides its listeners," Dr. Berglund,
director of the choir, has stated.
The idea of a European tour originated with this group
which has enjoyed other overseas tours. The concerts which
R V ICE
will be presented largely consist of music performed last
spring.
The art, drama, and German groups will each have about
20 students. Each will study its respective area of interest
in Europe.
"There is value merely in being exposed to the people
of a foreign country," said Mr. Jonnson. "The value of this
trip as an art tour far exceeds viewing museums in each
country. Museums which we'll be touring contain world art
collections." -
First hand experience with original works plus the visiting
of art galleries and museums is what's in store for interested
art students. The group accompanying Miss Waitschies
through her native country of Germany will see castles, operas,
and theatrical productions. Passing through big cities and
small towns is on their schedule as well.
"Unlike the other groups, mine will be doing everything
and anything. We have no concentrated area of study," Miss
Waitschies commented. "We'll be going shopping, visiting
with people in homes, schools, and factories. I want us to see
everything. There is no language requirement because one
can benefit even from being in Germany and seeing what it's
like."
Twenty thespians under the direction of Dale Rott will
perform at the military bases in several countries. "Adamann,"
an original dramatic work which symbolically depicts the
struggle of man to serve himself or God, shows what Christianity
is all about.
"There are few drama groups which perform in English
in Europe. Music can communicate over the language barrier;
the USO sends musicians over to the armed service bases. But
drama is something new. We will be working with the Chaplains'
programs. This is something no other Christian college
has tried yet - a new mission field," Mr. Rott explained.
The group will also visit theater museums in England and

"This can be a fantastic tour, if, for nothing else, the interaction
the kids will have," Mr. Rott commented.
Yet there is hope for more - that to many Europeans a
fresh image of American youth will be presented - that of
Bethel students representing Christ.

Student
Missionary Proiect
by Louise Laakso
Conducting services in parks, constructing
a building on a summer camp,
and working with inner-city children
were among the activities in which
Bethel's 21 student missionaries participated
in this summer.
The 21 were sent out by the Student
Missionary Project which is sponsored
by the Bethel student body. The SMP
is supported by chapel offerings and
gifts received in the deposit box by the
banking windows.
Among those sent were Jon Lewis
and Joel Goff. Working with Greater
European Missions, they spent three
weeks in France. There they did construction
work on a new dining hall
at a summer camp, 50 miles east of
Grenoble in the Alps.
From there they went to Portugal
for three weeks. In Lisbon they sang
and spoke almost every night. They also
helped for three days at a youth camp.
Speaking of their experience, Joel
said, "It made me realize how hard it
is for Americans to reach people in
other countries for Christ, and how
easy it must be for missionaries to get
depressed. It taught me a lot of patience."
In Colombia, Becky Waller worked
with children in a Spanish Bi·ble school.
She also taught a teen-age class in an
English Bible school, counselled at
Colombian junior and senior high camps,
and provided special music for churches.
At the Pan Am games she sold Bibles,
talked with people, and distributed
tracts.
Sally Miller
ten
Allie Jo Moore and Peter Varros worked
in the Salt Lake City area. They joined
27 others living in sorority houses on
the University of Utah. Their group,
through a door-to-door ministry, reached
over 9,000 homes, and, at Pioneer Day
in Salt Lake City, distributed approximately
15,000 tracts. They also passed
out tracts at a Mormon convention in
the city.
This group conducted services in the
parks, too. During one of these, four
people prayed in a circle around a Satan
worshipper. Pete said through their
prayers they cast Satan out of her,
changed her tears to laughter. She then
went home and burned all her Satanic
materials.
"My experience in Utah taught me,"
said Pete, "what it means to give yourself
totally to the Lord."
At the other end of the United States,
Sally Miller and Linda Jean Johnson
were living with a pastor and his wife
in an Italian-Jewish district of Brooklyn.
In connection with the Dean Street
Church, they witnessed to people on
the streets of a ghetto area. Their main
objective was to set up home Bible studies.
Thus, the end of their stay was
spent working with the people they had
come in contact with
Mark Olsen worked at Camp Kiwanis,
a camp for inner-city children, at Stillwater,
Minn., this summer. Working primarily
with 13 through 16-year-olds, he
also spent one week in the Big Brother
program with 9, 10, and ll-year-olds.
He said, "Kids really starve for love and
Pete Varros
attention. It was a pleasure for me to
give them love."
Other students sent out by SMP include:
George Pritchard and Steve Lentz
to Argentina; Jim Worgan to Bon Aire
in the Dutch Antilles; Kaylene Hallblade
and Diane Lundberg to British Colombia;
Debbie Anderson and Linda Johnston to
Camp Kiwanis and Snail Lake; and Mark
Howard, Rick Evans, Hugh McCleod,
Rachel Campbell, Bonnie Skoog and Sue
Veranac to the Minnesota Indian Reservation.
WBCS
Booster
Buttons
by Beth Jacobson
A true test of loyalty to our campus
radio station has been given to the student
body. Some failed the test, others
passed. All that was needed to pass was
an exchange of a mere 40c for a Bethel
Booster Button. The results of the test
will be felt by all. How much we contribute
to the radio station fund will
determine how many away basketball
games we hear.
The expenses of broadcasting these
six games are much greater than the
average student would expect them to
be. Involved in the cost are: a nine dollar
per hour rental fee plus installation of
a telephone line; new mikes and other
equipment; and the food, lodging, and
transportation costs of the two radio announcers,
Ron Troxel and Rich Zaderaka.
Altogether, the profit needed from the
Booster Button Sales amounts to $400.
This does not include the $200 cost of
having the buttons made.
The radio station is planning a film
festival to raise additional funds for
broadcasting the games. It will take place
Friday, October 22, and will feature
Laurel & Hardy films, The Little Rascals,
and all the old time favorites - an evening
of pure nostalgia.
Just in case these efforts fail, the radio
station is prepared to sell some extra
advertising time and appeal to the Student
Senate for extra funds.

The Bethel Royals' usually potent passing
game was effectively neutralized
by Northland last week in a 28-0 loss.
Bethel's three quarterbacks could only
total five completions in 17 attempts for
37 yards with three interceptions. Each
team fumbled six times, but Northland
made 344 total yards to 155 for Bethel,
to control the ball and make the difference
in the game. Junior linebacker
Perry Johnson made 12 tackles to lead
the defense as the Royals gave up one
touchdown each quarter.
Against Sioux Falls, the Royals suffered
a poor first half and found themselves
behind 8-0 at halftime. Defensive
end Ralph Gustafson said that at halftime,
the team realized "we were going
to have to really earn this one if we
wanted to win. We lost any overconfidence
we might have had in the first
half."
At halftime, Coach Reynolds diagramed
some plays he thought would work
against Sioux Falls' defense.
Apparently, the halftime talk worked
because the Royals came on to score
three touchdowns in the third quarter
and another in the fourth to win 28-14.
Mark Wood, sophomore halfback, scored
two long touchdown runs and made
. two 2-point conversions to ignite the
Royals' attack.
Wood's first touchdown came on a
72-yard punt return, and his second on
an 80-yard run from scrimmage on a
play that Coach Reynolds had diagramed
during halftime. Two touchdown pas:..
ses from Dave Pearson to Steve Conklin
completed Bethel's scoring.
With a won-lost record of 1-2, the
Bethel football team meets River Falls
College tomorrow in a non-conference
game at River Falls, Wisconsin, at 7:30
p.m.
Next Saturday, the Royals face the
Concordia Comets in Bethel's Homecoming
game at Midway Stadium at 1:30 p.m.
The Concordia game will be Bethel's
second conference contest.
Under the leadership of captaincoaches
Steve Voth and Ray Smith, the
soccer club will play in the Platteville
Tournament next Friday and Saturday,
Oct. 8 and 9.
The team has suffered many frustrations
this year, and Voth said it has
been very discouraging at times. Since
the club is not officially sponsored by
the school, each member of the club
paid $10 to meet the club's finances.
Other difficulties are caused by not
having a regular field to play on, and
a lack of support from students, faculty,
and administration.
"We would really appreciate any support
we could get from the students,"
Voth said.
Voth and Smith have tried to make
the team offense minded with the emphasis
on ball control.
"We are trying to play the South
American style," he explained.
Peter Genheimer and Voth .are the
two top scorers for the club.
Voth commented that the team is
better than last year's which upset
powerful Purdue University 4-l.
This year's club faces a Big 10 school
- Northwestern - in the first game
of the Platteville Tournament, taking
place during Bethel's Homecoming weekend.
Other teams competing in the tournament
with Bethel and Northwestern are
Knox College and Platteville State.
In its first three contests, the club
beat Hamline 7-2 and Carleton 2-1 while
losing to Macalester 4-3.
Tomorrow morning at 11, Bethel's
cross country team will run against the
Hamline Pipers at Como Park.
Freshman Steve Whittaker and junior
Mark Anderson have led Bethel's runners
in the two meets so far this year.
Whittaker finished second and Anderson
third in the Royals' first meet of
the year against Southwest State College.
The team, however, lost 23-41, as the
rest of the Royals finished between 10th
and 20th.
Bethel placed third behind Bemidji
State College and the University of Minnesota
at Duluth last Saturday. Whittaker
placed fourth and Anderson sixth.
The young Bethel team faces Eau
Claire and Stout State Saturday, Oct. 9
at Como Park at 11 a.m.

The Hot Corner
by Rich Zaderaka
Although no one could deny that the Bethel football team
was far from being in top form last Saturday, it would certainly
be a mistake to write off the rest of the season because of
one game. Northland has a very good football team this year.
But I can't believe that they're 28 points better than Bethel
is. I doubt if there are many others who believe it either.
Physically the Lumberjacks were much bigger than the
Royals, but then so was Hamline, only a 14 point victor over
Bethel. So the problem is evidently in another area.
Bethel made a lot of fundamental mistakeS', both in defensive
and offensive execution. The offense committed seven
turnovers, on four fumbles and three interceptions.
The outcome could have been a result of the long bus
trip up, overconfidence - an attitude problem - or a number
of other things.
At any rate, I hope the team gives the kind of effort they're
capable of giving against River Falls and some of the up��coming
opponents, because none of the future games will be
easy wins.

The biggest surprise of the professional football season so
far was the 20-17 victory by the Chicago Bears over Minnesota
last Sunday. The Bear defense did a great job, particularly
in the fourth quarter and held the Vikes to 17 points. But
the offense, which Viking announcer Paul Hornung has described
at pathetic, put 20 points on the board against a highly
touted Minnesota defense.
Despite their win, Chicago is not considered a threat to win
the Central Division. However, I'll cross my fingers and root
against the Vikings.

At more than a few Twin's games this summer manager
Bill Rigney went to the mound to remove his starting
pitcher. On one particular occasion relievers Ron
Perranowski and Hal Haydel had been warming up. Rigney
chose to bring in Haydel, prompting a certain fan to remark,
"I guess the Twin's pitching coach told Rigney to go to Hal."

Field Hockey is played very much like Ice Hockey with
slight variations. The game is played on a field instead of
ice, the hockey stick is different and the game is played
with a ball as opposed to a puck. The girls are looking forward
to a promising season. Good luck girls!

The Bethel junior varsity cheerleaders are six enthusiastic
freshmen who are eagerly looking forward to the coming
athletic season. The new J.V. cheerleaders are Ardyce Anderson,
Marsha Mattson, Pam Ford, Beth Heim, Jane Dalton,
and Kathy Roos. Thes,e six girls had to learn the S'chool song,
do an individual cheer, various jumps and any other optional
stunts for tryouts. The J.V. cheerleaders cheer for varsity
wrestling, junior varsHy basketball, and the soccer club. The
athletic department needs the student body's support and the
cheerleaders are taking the initiative in this area.
