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

OUR YEARS AGO in the month of September an interesting band of young people inet to organize the Freshman class of '24. During the eight months that followed the personnel of the class underwent many changes. Some new members came into the group and several discontinued their work. But the first year was not nearly so eventful as the second step of their sojourn here. Of the students who had registered as Academy Sophoniores at the beginning oi' the year, there were only nine here when school closed in the Spring. There were different reasons why so many discontinud their work at that time. One incident of particular interest which occurred dur- ing this year was the disappearance of the class banner. Another was the trip taken to Los Angeles Playgrounds. It was a new experience 'tor some to find themselves being snow-balled by other members of the party. But those who had come from places where zero weather and snow blizzards were 'frequent were in the height of their delight. When the class reached their third year they were ten in number. A trip to Exposition Park that winter proved very interesting and educational. And this, our Senior year, has been filled with countless joys and pleas- ures. 'llhe pleasant times we have had lar outweigh the work and difficul- ties encountered. NVe took one never-to-be-'forgotten trip this year-and that, our five day skip to Lake Arrowhead. Aside from the thrills ex- perienced, we felt well repaid for what we put into that week-in that we learned to really know one another. And here we. would not forget the class Advisors-Miss Anna Eyster the First year, Miss Helen Gish the second and third. and Mr. Paul Engle this, the last-who have so cheerfully helped us guide our barque success- fully to the desired goal. Our school days. though hard, have been pleasant ones. In our memory there will always be pleasant reminiscences and in our hearts always a warm, feeling for Beulah College-our Alma Mater.
