COLLEGE FRESHMAN CLASS lil Wlllilil perhaps a. rather strangely mixed twelve, which gathered 'l'l'Oll1 Kansas, Calitoriiia, and Arizona to 'form the College Freshman class. However, we Feel that every one onli our members, besides achieving per- sonal progress, and besides proving himself a loyal member of the class, l1as also been a student ol' service and credit- to the school. Enoch. Vlleed, who was with us during the 'first semester, as business manager for the stalfli, showed his ability for clear thinking and ready acting. Carrie Johnson, who left at Christmas time, in her short stay endeared herself to all by her pleasant ways. Jesse Steekley's talent in singing and speaking has been useful in Christian service. Dorothy Lexow has lent a sure and helpful hand in all the activities in which she has engaged. Glen Byer has proved a dependable staift member and diligent student. Rachel Weed is a clieertul, helping worker and 'friend ot all. liois Byer and Edna Harmon have given service to the Echo by their literary ability. The class seems to have been particularly blessed with an abundance ot musical talent. Anna Brandt is an accomplished pianist. Marian Yellis has an excellent soprano voice. Lloyd Bret-kbill 's bass is heard in many a quartette or chorus. And Miriam Uassel, both sings and plays the piano and guitar. Xliith such desirable members, a helpful advisor and an inspiring motto, our year 'S Work could be of no mean quality. Eighteen At

MREMINISCENCESH HE HISTORY of the class of '28 has been rather complicated. This year we have been able to say, We are seven! And a jolly group we've been. ln order to make our history complete let us look back a few years before the time we came to Beulah. Hazel, our President from the Buckeye State, was horn on a little coun- try farm. Her grammar school education was acquired in a country school near Dayton, with the exception ot one year at Harrisburg, Penna. When small, Hazel always wanted to know the reason for things, continually ask- ing' 'tNVl1y? and VVhat tor? Hazel had discontinued her school work for several years before she came to Beulah College in the 'l'all of '2-L. John Schmidt came to gladden the hearts ot his missionary parents in China just two years before his only brother passed away. He did a certain amount ot singing in his childhood, especially on his first trip to America when he was repeatedly called upon to sing Chinese songs in di1 Iferent churches. Having been so long in China, American ways seemed somewhat new to John when the family came to Upland late in the tall ot '2-L. Rosa was born in Penna., but her parents moved to Kansas before she was a, year old. Her schooling up to the seventh grade, with the exception of one year at Peabody, was acquired at Newton, Kansas. Rosa also be- gan music when she was quite young, and at the age of nine was asked to take active part in Church music.. She gained a valuable amount ot' ex- perience when she spent seven months in a Mission in Kansas City. In the tall ol? '23 she came to Upland witl1 her parents and took up her school work at Beulah. Myrtle Maxwell, a native of Southern California, was a very interest- ing child. She spent one and one-halt years in Long Beach, where her missionary aspirations were somewhat strengthened by distributing gospel tracts. VVith the exception of the time in Long Beach, Myrtle spent her grammar school days at the Alta Loma Grammar School. She always made goodw in her school work, but possibly we cannot ascribe this to her good memory, tor one time she forgot a receipt and put two tablespoons ot Baking Powder into her cup cakes, instead of two teaspoontuls. On com- pleting her grammar school work she came to Beulah College. Some years ago th1'ee brothers were made glad by the arival o'l' their only sister, lla Mae Hall. She has lived with her parents in the vicinity ol' Upland all her lite. Before coming to Beulah the only school she at- tended was the Upland tlrammar School. One ot Ila 's childhood sports was going to the pantry on the sly, breaking the paraffine on the jelly glasses, and taking a taste 'lfrom each jar. Our second gentleman, Earl Lenhert, hails from central Kansas. He was a lively child and no doubt kept the other children o'I' the family quite busy trying' to keep him out of mischict. One ol' his favorite pastimes was sliding down the granary root'-wearing out clothes. His 'former educa- tion was all received near his Kansas home. l'ntil his third year in high school he was at Navarre. For his Junior year he went to Hesston College, then came to Beulah last ilfall. Our number would never be complete without our cook and home- maker, Rhoda NVingerd, from Hope, Kansas. She is a typical farmer's daughter, having been born in the country. As a young girl on the liarm, Rhoda loved all the activities ot country life, especially riding horseback. Before coming to Beulah, Rhoda went through the grades in a little country school near her home. Twenty
