One member of our class, Ida liekman, is proud to elaim California as her birthplace and home as well as she ever did, it not better. She has a. soeiable disposition and makes friends with everyone.

.Q ,f ixtwixmsvx ' ' Y Bnlillmntesee, -. Y - In Friends and elassmates, there is a path which lies belfore each one ol' us, in which we will soon be treading. 'l'hough we see the seriousness ot' lilfe, with its increasing important-e ol' personal and practical problems which eon'l'ront each one as he goes out to take up his taskg yet we know not what we shall meet, in what blustering currents we may soon be sailing, through what contli--t and struggle we may soon be called to pass. 'l'herel'ore great is the need ot men and women who will taee the dilticulties and perplexities without Hin:-hing. Who are able to say with the poet: One who never turned his back, but marched breast 'l'orwardg Never doubted clouds would break: Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph. lwlelcl, we l'all to riseg are ballled, to light betterg Sleep to wake. 'Ne have a place to till and a duty to lbOl l'0l'I'l1. 'l'o be at our best in that place in the 'fulfilling ot that duty requires a tixity ot purpose in you and ine that will not be moved or shaken by adversities and ill-l'ortune. Our place in li'l'e demands a steadtastness ol' aim to become that which tlod meant us to he. For 'He intended us to be leaders tor the right and examples ot' integrity and service. Will we Waiver? XVill we be l'ound wanting? NVill we tail? No, our purpose is fixed. By t!od's help we shall be l'aithl'ul in our sphere. For we know then that our lille 1-ahall be a benediction and success shall crown our ett'orts. Class History On the br'ght and sunny morning ot' September 11, in the year nineteen luindred and twenty-two, there were twelve young people representing six dilter- ent states ol' the l'nion enrolled tor the lirst time at Beulah College. Soon after enrollment, we met and organized the tflass ot' 'tNiueteen Hundred and 'l'wenty- Six. 'Ilhe next year We came ba 'k and were sorry to find that our cla:-:s was broken. Durinfr the year several other members leI't, until there remained only three to carry the name ol' the 'tfflass ol' '2ti. Our Junior year arrived. Several members came to us. ltlncouraged by these reinloreements, we pushed ahead to reach our goal. As Seniors, we were glad to have welcomed two new members to our class. XVO have spent 'tour years here. We have come through all the little ills that beset all classes as they go through school. VW- now look forward upon the broad ocean ol' the future. Vile h ive received a vision in our many hours spent here, and it is said, Clive a man a vision and time. and he will spend the latter in reducing the l'U1'1I1f3l' to a reality. ln the translormation, he will have built at the tlose of lil'e a l'llOlllllIlt'lllQ perif-:liable or imperishable will be determined by the nature ol' the vision. lt. is our aim and desire to prepare ourselves that we may not be a parasite upon humanity, but that we may give hack to this world something that would be ot' value and benefit.

'L Willa Ortf was l'ormerly from VVest Virginia, but she spent part ol' her lil'e in the Philippine Islands as a missionary. She was permitted to be with us only part of the year, but she has proved an active member ot' the class, She is an earnest Christian worker, especially along missionary lines. NVe are proud to have as our class advisor an able instructor from thc Jay- hawker State, namely, Miss Dahl. She proves hersell' very capable of handling us six Juniors and always strives that we should have co-operation. Deo Duee UWHL God as Leudcrj A long time ago there was a young man named Gideon, Hwho with tlod as Leader, defeated a vast army that were as the sands ot the sea-shore in num- bers. A great many years after, a young boy chose God as leader and slew a bear and a lion with no weapons but his naked hands. He had no fear ot a giant who had been ballling his entire country. So big, strong and great. the giant looked that every man was afraid ol: him. All except David, who, trust- ing in his guide, showed his people that battles could not be lost with a lieader who was mightier and more wonderful than many giants, He made God lieader over his whole lite and won many, many victories. liet us take a 'l'ew steps down the ages where another great man lives. Willy great? Bevan:-:c he, too, chose the same Leader for his life. liet us quietly steal to the door ot' his chamber in t.he early morning betfore work is begun. Harkl what is that? Daniel is only receiving his instructions, he is having a Friendly talk with his General. Vile walk on down the long hall ol' ages, stopping now and then to admire the beantil'ul, great characters who had gone through lil'e 'twith tlod as leader, accomplishing we meet some from a golden 'l'o their uttet great things and gaining wonderful victories. Here and there who had dropped llis hand just long enough to shake the dew sun-cup or pluck a scarlet larkspur which grew in the pathway. dismay they found so many paths before them that they knew not which to take and cried to their guide t'or help. He tenderly and patiently told them that with His hand Ile would lead them 'forward and alwaYs ritrht. NVe come to another man whom we cannot help but admire. 'With Hod as lieaderl' he could do great wonders and miracles. He could 'lace talse accusations and finally. when stone a'l'ter stone came down upon him and he t'elt the breath ol' death as she bent over him, he could keep his eyes on his Leader. Thus he went home to receive the reward for remaining with his guide. 'llhc class ol' '27, NVith God as Leader ol' our individual lives, have started on the journey and are struggling through the snares, thorns, brambles, brush, and stones that lie in our way. NVe walk by His side and by listening to His every instruction we learn to be kind, gentle, and loving. Here through our ignorance we puzzle too long over a bramble, and our Guide smiles and shows how to conquer our many, many failures. He patiently teaches us how to avoid the snares, how to push aside the thorns and weeds and keep rejoicing on our way. Vllill we not conquer over sin with such a leader? XVill We not conquer lil'c's battles? Following our lieader. we do as He bids ns and all our victories are For Him. XVith God as lieaderi' we will pass our petty trials, and when we reach the gates ot' pearl and they ask us how we came, we can proudly say, VVith God as Leader. Page Twenty-foil:-
