"The Heavens Declare the Glory of God"
There are few things in life that
are as lovely as a spring sunrise. I
saw one the other morning that al-most
took my breath away. The
early morning was quiet with a
quietness that seemed unbelievable
in the city—as if even the relentless
and unheeding voices of industry
had paused for a moment to watch
the phenomenon of the grey dawn's
transformation into a brilliant,
blushing morning.
So quickly at the touch of a Mas-ter
hand is a thing of drabness re-created
into a thing of soul-bursting
beauty!
First there was only the rose tint-ed,
heralding flush, overspreading
all the eastern sky; but it was quick-ly
followed by a hundred flashing,
blood-red rays shooting madly,
eagerly up into the waiting sky.
And, then, even as I stood in breath-less,
awed anticipation, the sun rose
in blinding glory.
With the sun's rising, there arose
in my heart a new consciousness of
the Master's Presence; a new long-ing
for the touch that transfigures;
and a new throbbing, nameless joy
that life and youth were mine. With
eyes that still reflected the miracle
of the dawn, I looked about me, and
knew that not only the eastern sky;
not only my life; but the whole
world had somehow changed because
a sun had risen.

Plans Made,
Pictures Taken
For 1938 Spire
Individuals Pose, Group
Pictures Taken
Group pictures, snapshots, proofs,
layouts, sketches, and dummies are
important and frequent words about
the Clarion office since work is be-ing
pushed to complete the 1938
Spire shortly before the school year
ends. Group pictures were taken
March 10 for the activities. Instruc-tors
and senior candidates for grad-uation
have been visiting the photo
studio during a two-week period.
"The Spire" made its first appear-ance
on Bethel campus last Spring.
No annual had been published pre-viously
for several years.
According to plans the 1938 Spire
will have 24 pages and be 9 inches
by 6 inches in size. The contents
will include: dedication, short his-tory
of school, individual pictures of
the faculty and graduating seniors,
group pictures of the undergradu-ates,
group pictures of the school ac-tivities
and informal pages of snap-shots.
General arrangements are: pic-tures,
layouts, Harold Wilson; snap-shots,
Dale Jensen; art, Carolyn Nel-son;
and copy writer, Luetta
Schmidt. Dean Emery Johnson is
business adviser to the group.
Bethel Women Fete
Nurses at Party
A St. Patrick's Day party honor-ing
the nurses from Mounds-Mid-way
Hospitals was given by the
Bethel Women's association on the
evening of March 14, with about one
hundred nurses and Bethel women
attending. The program, decora-tions,
and refreshments carried out
the St. Patrick's Day motif.
The program consisted of vocal
solos by Margaret Larson, piano
solos by Ruth Fredine; a humorous
spring style show by Evangeline
Wingblade, Margaret Larson and
Dorothy Drotz, a welcome to the
nurses by Ruth Tegenfeldt, presi-dent
of the B.W.A., and devotions
led by Gladys Peterson.
Numerous games were played,
and the girls were taken on a tour
of the buildings.
Committees in charge of the party
were as follows: committee in
charge: Esther Schlipf, chairman,
Florence Dunning, Vivyonne Ek-strum:
refreshment committee: Flor-ence
Lindstrom, chairman, Muriel
Trowbridge and Henrietta Carlson;
properties committee: Audrey Mar-tin,
chairman and Jean Tretsven;
assistants with decoration: Maxine
Luhman and Margaret Larson.
"The Bible is God speaking per-sonally
to you."
"You are no stronger than the
Word of God that is in you."
Rev. Ewald Conrad.
Doris Lundquist Wins
First in Declam.
"The Sign of the Cross" was the
topic with which Doris Lundquist
of Superior, Wisconsin, placed first
in the College Club Declamatory
Contest on Wednesday evening,
March 9. Ned Holmgren won sec-ond
place with "Antony's Funeral
Oration for Julius Caesar." Robert
Peterson gave "The Dying Alchem-ist,"
and Olga Shenning gave "An
Order for a Picture." The contest-ants
were judged by the audience.
Ruth Fredine favored the audi-ence
with two piano selections, and
Esther Schlipf rendered two clar-inet
solos. Luetta Schmidt led in de-votions.
A social hour in the Coffee Shoppe
followed, with games led by Gus-tave
Ferre.

Clarion Staff Members
Hold Trial, Box Social
"Room Rant" will continue as a
column in the Clarion! The girl's
dorm attempted to convict the writer
on a charge of libel at a Clarion
party held in the college March 18
but the columnist emerged victori-ous.
In the trial, "Girls' Dorm versus
Maxine Luhman," Gustave Ferre ap-peared
as prosecuting attorney and
Ned Holmgren as attorney for the
defense. Bob Seline acted as Bailiff.
Judge Gordon Peterson dramatically
closed the trial saying that the
whole thing was a farce and that
Maxine Luhman, defendant, was ac-quitted.
The social hour featured an old-fashioned
box social with Bruce
Fleming acting as auctioneer.
Packing their lunch in a package
that represented a long green worm
and entitled, "A Diet of Worms,"
Carolyn Nelson, Luetta Schmidt,
and Henrietta DeCamp took first
place for originality in baskets. Sec-ond
place went to Helen Ward and
Olga Shenning with a Shamrock
shaped box and third to Vivyonne
Ekstrum and Maxine Luhman.
Male Chorus Appears in
Minneapolis Church
A concert sponsored by the Bethel
Institute Women's Federation was
presented by the Bethel Male Chorus
Friday evening, March 11, at the
First Swedish Baptist Church of
Minneapolis.
Professor George Hultgren direct-ed
the chorus in the numbers: "Salu-tation"
by Richert; "Were You
There" by McLeod; "Thanks Be To
God" by Dickson; "The Vast Un-numbered
Throng" by Bronson; and
"Land Sighting" by Grieg.
Individual and group parts on the
program were: Ruth Fredine, and
Professor Bergman, Piano Duet;
two numbers by the mixed quartet;
vocal solos by Margaret Larson and
John Valine; reading, Roger Good-man;
and greetings by Dr. K. J.
Karlson.
Freshmen Present,
"The Apostle Paul
Comes Back."
Paul Lundgren Has Part
Of Great Missionary
"The Apostle Paul Comes Back"
tonight, March 25, at 8 o'clock! Paul
Lundgren, Junior College freshman,
impersonating the Apostle, will come
into a modern home (arranged on
the chapel platform) and talk and
act as the first-century saint prob-ably
would have done.
The entire program will be cen-tered
around the family life in the
comfortable American home. Sev-eral
musical numbers as well as a
roll of films on missions will be in-terspersed
into the evening pro-gram.
The characters in the family
whom Paul visits are: Professor and
Mrs. Watson, taken by Arvid Ed-blom
and Muriel Trowbridge; and
their two children, Mary and James,
by Doris Lundquist and George
Darry. Friends dropping in to see
them are: Dorothy Beckman, Ruth
Olson, Wyman Hanson, and Hilton
Hanson, these four also comprising
a quartet. Other musical numbers
are: a trumpet trio made up of
Wyman Hanson, Arthur Slaikeu,
and Ernest Norquist; and Esther
Schlipf and Henrietta DeCamp will
play a clarinet duet.
Truman Halvorson acted as chair-man
of the program committee with
Neoma Sund, Maxine Luhman, Gor-don
Carlson, and Ernest Norquist as
members. Mr. Reuben Nelson, class
adviser, played an important part by
writing the dramatization. Various
students have advertised the pre-sentation
by short talks in several
Twin City churches; posters have
been put up; and handbills have
been distributed.
Mumps and Appendicitis
Send Several to Bed
Mumps and appendicitis seem to
be vying among Bethel students for
supremacy. At present mumps is
leading with a victim list of nine,
and appendicitis follows with a list
of three. For several weeks the third
floor music room served as a quar-antined
sick room, but when as
many as three students were seized
with mumps at the same time, Mr.
and Mrs. Beck opened up their
home to the patients, with Alrik
Blomquist acting as chief nurse. The
appendicitis patients are convales-cing
at the Midway and Deaconess
hospitals.
The mump list includes: Dale Jen-sen,
Bennet Carlson, Gordon Peter-son,
Jack Bergeson, Paul Lundgren,
Cyril Allen, Lorayne Forrest, Vivian
Larson, and Peggy Larson.
Aymond Anderson, Alrik Blom-quist,
and Henrietta Carlson have
undergone operations for appendix
removal.

Race Prejudice
Recent newspaper reports state that a num-ber
of the foremost Jewish physicians of Aus-tria
are fleeing from their homeland. Several
have committed suicide rather than face dom-inant
Nazism. All Jewish leaders are finding
life very insecure these days.
It is a sad state of affairs when men skilled
in the professions must suffer persecution from
race prejudice. True professional men are not
particularly interested in politics. The doctor
is interested in medicine, the lawyer with law,
and the preacher with his preaching.
Racial prejudice is not so interested in what
man can give to aid humanity. Doctor, lawyer,
politician are in one class, a hated racial class,
and they must be stamped out. Science and
culture halt because men's horizons are limited
to nationalistic ideals.
Perhaps some time we will learn to respect
all men, of all races and colors and the growth
of science and culture will not be hindered by
the ignorance and narrowness of man.
Pegasus or Plug
To the Editor of the Bethel Clarion:
Sir: Does my caption provoke speculation or curi-osity?
No doubt it would elucidate matters to word
it "Poetry or Prose?" or "What is Poetry?", but this
one seemed so suggestive and arresting (or does it?)
that my puny nature quite vanquished my scruples.
Ever since I was able to lisp the soul searching
poem that begins with the immortal words, "This
little piggy . . . ," I have had a consuming passion
to write a poem. Often, oh so often, have I paid open
court to that haughty Muse, but she has always
repulsed my advances with either disdainful silence
or meaningless words; and so I feel, rejected suitor
that I am, I have enough cynicism and disillusioned
desires to warrant my writing critically on the sub-ject
of poetry.
Now Pegasus as every one knows is the winged
horse of Greek mythology who typifies inspired
poetry; while a plug, in the vernacular of the street
which we all know so well, is a plodding member
of the equine family who goes through life two jumps
ahead of a milk wagon. It would appear then that
even a Bethel student were he suddenly confronted
by these two horses should be able to point to Pegasus
and exclaim ecstatically, "That's Peggy, ain't she
marvellous?", or on the other hand, grasping his
proboscis 'twixt thumb and forefinger, look scorn-fully
at the plug and remark, "Jeepers, don't he
reek!" But is that the case?
Somehow or other the stables have a way of re-versing
themselves, we place the plug on sacred Mt.
Hippocrene and relegate poor Pegasus to a stall in
limbo or what is worse confine him entirely to the
classroom. There now! Isn't that a scathing indict-ment
for me to hurl about so recklessly? Would
that it were but a jest, but, oh the tragedy of it all,
it's so glaringly true. Edgar Guest and his prolific
progeny are reverently accorded places of honor and
esteem while poor Browning and Shelley are left to
blush and sing unseen and unheard. Why just the
other day a plug plodded into our own school and
was acclaimed by many as a veritable Christian
Pegasus, but, while casting no reflections on the
rheumatic man riding the plug, somehow or other
my hypercritical mind couldn't quite reconcile the
rhyming of "ease" with "B.V.D.'s". Granted that a
man may be hard-pressed for descriptive words at
times, still I firmly believe that one must draw
the line somewhere. Yet, frankly, that plug didn't
bother me a great deal for I realized that it was
here today and gone tomorrow, but the thing that
really ruffled up my spirit was to hear some of the
students stoutly maintain that it was bona fide
poetry and none of this stuff Keats tried to pawn off
on us. I beg your pardon, now I'm becoming pug-nacious,
a very unfair thing for a columnist to do for
if he arouses opposition it hasn't an opportunity to
fight back. Perchance, there is something construc-tive
to say on the subject.
You might ask me, "What is poetry then, Smarty?",
and you'll have me in a position where I'd have to
resort to glaring at you and baring my teeth or else
refer you to your English professor. For poetry is
something "that the world's coarse thumb and fingers
cannot plumb"; it is indefinable; it defies analysis.
Now I find myself becoming too serious, but bear
with me while I tack on one wee thought more.
Poetry is not an elaborate and arbitrary way of say-ing
something which might have been more simply
and effectively told in prose, but poetry embraces—
that which is most beautiful and vital in life and
through the magic casements of suggestion and
imagination opens our eyes to the world we live in.
"What is that dullard driving at with all this un-intelligible
gibber?", I can hear some readers bland-ly
asking. Just this—Don't plod around on spavined
old plugs when Pegasus stands impatiently chiding
its bit, waiting to show you what a real ride is like.
I'm extremely sorry that I allowed myself to be-come
so serious about this subject but I had a dread
suspicion when I began that things would fall out
this way. Yet I simply can't find it in me to close
so solemnly, so here's a poem for you to analyze
and classify as you will.
Proof for the Antiquity of the Microbe:
Adam
Had 'em.
Yours for Pegasus,
Bellerophon.
Devotions
As we observe signs of the approach of
Spring becoming more pronounced about us,
we are reminded that it is the season of the
year when Christ was victorious over death.
This season is often a time when we have
special meetings in our churches and our
efforts are spent in winning new converts.
Is not Easter the Day of days in the year
for Christians? What are we doing to pre-pare
our lives for Easter?
We find examples of preparation for the
Great Day in the Life of Christ and His
disciples. In Luke 9:51 we read that "he
stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem."
In His acts from this time on we find a
preparation for that Event when He should
arise, a living Savior. Several times Christ
took His disciples aside and told them about
His coming death and resurrection.
Although we do not observe the Lenten
season as some denominations do, their
thought of special preparation for Easter is
one that we can well consider. In a special
way during these pre-Easter days Christ
should become to us more than ever one who
suffered for us upon the Cross, and also arose
again from the dead as a proof of immor-tality.
The Cross and the Empty Tomb are
the two great emblems of the Christian faith.
Shall we not glory in them?
Ruth Tegenfeldt.
Speaking of Humans—
Who has not seen the small boy
or girl step forth proudly displaying
a new pair of shining shoes? Who
has not seen the older child jubi-lantly
pedaling down the street on
his new bicycle, or the young man
or young woman gayly stepping out
arrayed in most anything new?
Humans are built thus from the
very foundation. It is our nature to
delight in the acquisition and en-joyment
of the pretty shining things
of life, on a supposedly rising scale
of worthfulness. The person in mid-dle
life, grown up, and having laid
aside (?) childish things, glories
more worthily in houses and furni-ture
and clubs and social grada-tions.
He will work hard and suffer
much to achieve a little feeling of
distinction somehow above the corn-mon
run. The innocent pride of the
small boy with his shining boots
was not so different. It has now be-come
a trifle more sedate and ma-ture.
In truth, the pride which the
man of affairs feels as he glides
down the street on a Sunday after-noon
in his shining Cadillac, is not
so different from that which the
child felt with his humblest first
possession. It's humanity all over
again.
The aged man or woman has per-haps
grown a little indifferent to
one type of finery or "shinery" but
glories as much in another, that of
goodly sons and kindly daughters
and clever and precocious grand-children.
So is life to the end. And,
as "we shuffle off this mortal coil,"
our final pride, could we but be
aware of it, would be the type and
quality of the "box" in which our
bedecked remains are laid. Human-ity
is ever human.
But wise is he who refuses to be
enticed by the passing glow and
tinsel of this evanescent existence.
The great Teacher said, "Seek ye
first the Kingdom of God." The
great apostle declared that "the
things which are seen are tempor-al;
but the things which are not
seen are eternal." Though the good
Lord did not intend that we deny
ourselves all the little joys of life,
he certainly enjoined upon us not
"to labor for the meat which per-isheth,"
but to "lay up treasures"
in the Heavens beyond. Following
Heaven's law is surely a wiser
course than being always so hum-anly
human. The wisest of all an-cients
declared that "he that win-neth
souls is wise." We prefer to be
wise.

Paine have also been purchased re-cently.
Alexis Program Given
By Girls' Trio Groups
Prominent preachers of the past
were featured on the "Girls' Trio"
program at the Alexis meeting of
March 16. Musical numbers were
rendered by the Girls' Trio compos-ed
of Doris Moberg, Dorothy Beck-man,
and Ruth Olson. Another
girls' trio presented the three talks
of the evening. Luetta Schmidt
spoke on "Billy Sunday," Florence
Lindstrom, "Dwight L. Moody," and
Marie Dahlberg, "Charles H. Spur-geon."
Two extemporaneous numbers
were also features of the program.
The regular extemporaneous topic
which was "What attitude should
Christians show toward the govern-ment
and the laws of the country?"
was treated by Robert Peterson.
Harold Wilson acted as extempo-raneous
critic of the evening.
The devotional period was led by
Carl Lindman. Andrew Sinkiewicz
presided at the meeting.

They've tried to cheer us up again

It was while we were reading the
Fairie Queen in English Lit. that I
dreamed about the two-headed go-rilla.
The idea stayed with me. And
last night when I was alone in the
house studying, I heard footsteps
coming toward my table. Something
stopped behind me. I just had to
turn around to see if it were the
two-headed gorilla. It was. I
wouldn't have minded it so much
except that one face was smiling
and the other wasn't. But when it
started to breathe on my neck, that
got me. In fact, it annoyed me so
much that I piled up my books and
papers and went over to my sister-in-
law's to finish the evening.

"Peggy" Larson Sings
with Minn. A Capella
To be a member of the Minne-apolis
A Capella Choir is the honor
accorded Margaret (Peggy) Larson,
a sophomore in the Junior College.
Miss Larson sang with the choir at
the concert presented in the Ly-ceum
Theatre, Minneapolis on Mar.
22.
The choir has become renowned
even in its short life, being organ-ized
in 1935. In 1936 it won first
place in the Chicagoland Music fes-tival
in Nation-wide competition.
Professor George Hultgren, head
of Bethel music department and in-structor
of voice at MacPhail School
of Music, Minneapolis, has directed
the choir since its beginning. Pro-fessor
Hultgren is recognized as an
outstanding choral director and
tenor soloist in the Northwest.
Ferre, Schultz Debate
at River Falls, Wise.
Participation in the River Falls
debate tournament at River Falls,
Wisconsin, on Saturday, March 19,
ended the season for the Bethel
speakers.
From a relatively large group that
was interested in debate last fall
only three members engaged active-ly
in debate. Willard Anderson and
Samuel Schultz represented Bethel
at the Concordia debate tournament
at Moorhead, Minnesota on Feb-ruary
4 and 5. At River Falls, Gus-tave
Ferre and Samuel Schultz par-ticipated.
The debating squad has
been studying under the direction
of coach Burnis Rogness of Luther
Seminary.
Room Rant
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Dorm girls prefer blondes
—Evidently.
I suppose that the "B. E." on the
six grey and blue fellows' sweaters
stands for "Bethel Escorts." No
doubt Bennie and George are the
most active members: Sunday when
they counted up their score for the
day, they found that they had been
with eleven girls.
It has been said that the male
mump patients had a swelled time.
From what I hear, Lorayne is hav-ing
a big time, too.
"Rain, rain, go away," chorus all
the girls—except Neoma. It takes a
good rain to patter upon Maurie's
sympathy (or Ford) enough to make
him offer his car to spring lovers,
(e.g., Carl and Neoma).
Vivyonne has threatened to wear
a sandwich board wherever she
goes telling exactly why she wears
dark glasses with a P.S. explaining
why she, a Bethel student, prefers $2
glasses and not 10c ones. Must be
tough.
Moral: Keep the shades pulled
when quarantined with measles.
Dorothy and Gussie have been try-ing
to perfect a plan for speedy mail
service between Massachusetts and
Washington. There doesn't seem to
be anything to do except for the
both of them to return to Bethel.
We are expecting the traditional
Bethel love to radiate from Coast
to Coast!
Alrik made a wise choice when
he decided to go to Midway Hospi-tal—
no streetcar transferring or
nuthin' from the girls' dorm. And
as Carol W. and I were saying, we
realize that Aymond's situation is a
little different.
"Taxi!"
A '28 Chevy with a fan and silent
shift stopped.
"Where to, Ladies?" said the
driver as he stood in the pouring
rain helping them in.
"Home, Bruce."
"Give them the Word of God and
they will be saved."
"Wherein you have submitted
yourself to God and His Word you
have found satisfaction."
"The need is great; the Lord is
greater."
Rev. D. R. Aikenhead.
Bible School Instructor
Speaks to Gospel Teams
Mr. Frank Bass, who has charge
of the instruction in practical work
at Northwestern Bible School spoke
to the gospel team members at a
get together program Monday eve-ning,
March 9. Two young men from
the same school favored the group
with vocal duets. Paul Backlin pre-sided
at the meeting and Dorothy
Beckman led in devotions. An offer-ing
was taken to be used for tracts
and transportation.

"Hudor Ballos" Entertained
By Fellow Member
The seminary Middlemen, better
known as the "Hudor Ballos," and
lady friends were invited to the
home of Wilbur Sorley, Minneapolis
for a house party, March 8.
Entertainment took the form of
pick up sticks, carroms, and stunts.
Lunch and a devotional period
climaxed the evening.
ALUMNI
Elizabeth Larson '26, and Thora
Johnson '31, met in New York City
recently. They spent two days to-gether,
attending the Seventeenth
Anniversary of the New York
Church and visiting points of inter-est.
For six weeks Adelle Carlson '26,
was quarantined with scarlet fever.
Esther Nelson '29, is teaching in
Chinook, Washington. This is her
third year there.
Mabel Harlis writes that she en-joys
her work in Fullerton, Cal-ifornia.
Hanna Omark finds her work with
the Juniors in the Kewanee church
very encouraging.
From the lands across the sea we
hear that:
Fortunata S a 1 m o r i n Bellasillo,
Philippine Islands, is having trouble
with her hearing. Prayers are re-quested
for her recovery.
Signe Erickson, Philippine Islands,
recently attended a conference on
religious education in Manila. While
there she visited with the family of
Fortunata Salmorin Bellasillo.
Mrs. Marcus Fritzell and daughter,
Fairy Ann, are on their way home
from Africa. They expect to arrive
in New York about April 1.
Reuben Holm '29, Assam, India,
recently had an accident with his
car while driving in a fog. Toneram,
a native evangelist who was with
him, was badly hurt. Mr. Holm es-caped
without injury.
Great changes are taking place in
India daily. Eric Frykenberg '29,
writes. "The Christian community
is facing a crisis. Persecutions have
increased since the new national
government came into power. Yet,
this has proved a blessing to us.
The greater enemy and danger is
sin and weakness on the inside of
our churches. We need a revival
all over our fields."

VITAMIN "A"
Children have an exceptionally high requirement
for Vitamin "A". Butter and cream are especially con-centrated
sources of this vitamin. Small shortages of
Vitamin "A" can be responsible for functional eye
difficulties as well as sub-optimal growth. Use the

Three Victories
On February 16, the Bethel cagers
invaded the Concordia college floor
to take two games. The Bethel "B"
team took the "B" team of Concor-dia
to the tune of 21-16. This was
followed in like manner with the
"A" team taking their game at 36-32.
The last few minutes of the game
almost proved a Bethel loss, but a
time out period stemmed a lively
Concordia attack.
Richert and Young, totaling to-gether
23 points, showed the best
offensive drive on the floor.
Second Concordia Conflict
A similar dealing was given the
Concordia team on Bethel's floor,
February 23. The final score was
45-30. A clicking Bethel team play-ed
championship ball; playing both
a driving offensive and a well-groomed
defensive game.
Luther Licked
A road trip took the squad into
New Ulm, February 25, where
Bethel clashed with the Luther Col-lege
team. Richert was high point
man of the game with 16 points.
Seehusen and Muller each totaling
9 points, led the Luther team scor-ing.
The final score favored Bethel,
40-24.
Bethany Beats
The hardest game of the year cli-maxed
the entire season. A scrappy
game, increased by home enthusia-asm
(the medium being a few in-terested
coeds from Bethel), banged
up knees, sore muscles; the game
had plenty of what it takes to make
it interesting. Gulberg was Beth-any's
high point man with 12 points
while Richert led Bethel with 10.
Final score, Bethany 40, Bethel 28.
Girls Close Season
The girls ended their season in a
tilt with the All-Star selection from
the Twin City Church League on
March 12. The score was 12-7. E.
Schlipf pointed 6 and M. Larson 4
to give the Bethel girls' team their
final victory. After the game a tro-phy
was presented to the girls as
an award for winning the Twin City
championship.
Seminary Wins; Basket-ball
Teams Have Party
Revenge tasted sweet to the
Bethel Theologians as they took a
victory from the collegians at the
intra-mural basketball game Mon-day
evening, March 21.
The teams scored evenly until the
last quarter when the Seminary
gained an 8 point lead. The final
score was 24-32. Wilbur S. topped
the Seminary list with 10 points
while Arvid E. from the college
gained a similar number.
All the players from the girls'
and boys' teams gathered in the
girls' recreational room for a social
time after the game. Coach Adam
led the group in several games.
Afterwards the group was called
to the Coffee Shoppe for apple pie
ala-mode and coffee served by Mrs.
William Adam.
"The happy way is God's way ac-cording
to His Guide-Book and the
Holy Spirit."

Mission.
Chatter Chips
Now that basketball season has
closed, it's time that a little aver-aging
and figuring is done. There
have been exhibitions of interest
and dullness. But the season is over
—call it what you like.
The lineup for the S.M.J.C.C. is
as follows:
Games

Rochester
Waldorf
Bethany
BETHEL
Luther
Concordia
Bethel scored a total of 304 points
to the opponents 306
The total individual points stack
up with F. Richert taking an easy
margin.

G. Ferre 35
G. Peterson 34
C. Young 26
A. Johnson 20
A. Slaikeu 8
T. Halvorson 3
S. Paulson 2
In scanning the score books, it is
noted that the "B" squad chalked
up 7 wins and 3 losses in their col-umn.
It's just a reminder—this next bit
of news. The girls really did have
a successful season. (The fellows
can always claim moral victories.)
Not only did the Bethel Hoopsters
(feminine, please) make a good
showing, dropping only one game
throughout the entire season, but
they are the proud contributors of
a new glittering trophy to our strug-gling
collection. By winning the
Twin City Church League cham-pionship
they earned this recogni-tion.
