M. S. Alma lVIater, as in the hush of midnight i slowly , pace thy campus, as blue in the haze of moonlight the mountain dreams in its ancient slumber, as bright in the vault of night the stars stand Watch oier the , fl sleeping valley, as dreams the spirit of the night l upon thee, O Alma Mater, I would ask thy secret. Ti" 5 wherein ues thy strength? what is thine abiding "ALT spirit? Simple and mighty is the mystic reply. It is the spirit ofthe altar. An ever-burning and never-consumed sacrifice art thou, offered daily by hands of purity to the glory of God the Father. It is the spirit of the grain of corn. Falling into the ground, thou diest to self, that from that death multiplied forces of regeneration may rise in fulness of life to bless the world with the Spirit of Power. It is the spirit of the seed. Being cast into the soils of thy student- hearts, thy message falls upon the good ground of sincerity, and the divine fruit of yielded lives goes up as an offering acceptable to Christ our Lord. It is the spirit of the dauntless youth. Exemplifying the manhood of thy history, there rises up a vision of a sturdy, dynamic lad, Hbound in the bundle of life," conscious of a heritage, and loyal to his Christ. It is the spirit of the Winsome maiden. There comes a vision of a modest lass, yet pulsating with the vibrancy of virtuous charm, and rich with the promise of womanhood. It is the spirit of the upward look. Sensing the distress of the nations, the multiplication of iniquities, and the tinder-piles of an impending hol- ocaust, thou dost await the signs in the heavens, the trumpet call, and the glorious consummation of eternal righteousness. Alma Mater, I have found thy secret. l know thine abiding spirit.

TEACHERS FDR THE PERFEETING UF THE SAINTS .... FDR THE EDIFYINE DF' THC BDDY DF CHRIST." 3'-f:2i'i" ' John L, Stauffer President Dear Graduates: Congratulations to each student for the successful completion of his prescribed course. The war is over we are told now. Mass destruction of soldiers and civilians has ceased, but War still exists in other forms. There is economic war and boundary disputes among nations. Industrial and political strife is found within our own nation. As Christians we refuse participation in all forms of strife. The conflict in which the Christian is called to serve remains as intense and as real as ever. The conflict between righteous- ness and unrighteousness will not cease until the armies of heaven under the leadership of our Lord make the final assault. Christians in this con- flict dare not compromise nor retreat because our Leader in supplying the armor of warfare has made no provisions therein for the protection of retreating soldiers QEphesians 6:10-ISQ. This school has sought to develop a positive Christian faith While safeguarding the student against existing educational and religious errors. Our aim has been to help you build up a reserve of spiritual strength against the days of trial and temptation which you are certain to face after graduation. lf you have availed yourself of the spiritual oppor- tunities, have experienced a revitalizing of your spiritual experience, and have fully yielded to the call of the Holy Spirit for service in the kingdom of God, then you have the consciousness of the Lord's approval in your life. With the Spirit's indwelling, you can face an unknown future in confidence and without fear of defeat. May the Lord definitely lead and use every one of you to "the praise of His glory." l12l I V. Chester K. Lehman Dean and Registrar To the Class of 1946: Christian greetings to you who are on life's threshold. lf you would attain to God's purpose for your life, its motivation must be the very highest, purest, and noblest. From one of the elegant refrains of l'aul's immortal Hymn of Praise comes a most inspiring and impelling incentive, "That We should be to the praise of His glory." This is at once funda- mental, vital, all embracing. ln this Hymn converge the manifold purposes of God. To God the Father is ascribed the source of all spiritual bless- ings, the choosing us to holiness, and the adoption. Through Christ the Son We have redemption and forgiveness of sins. The sealing is of the promised Holy Spirit. The refrain to such sublime and majestic purposes of God can be nothing less than "To the praise of his glory." And when the Hymn touches the life purposes of us Whom he has chosen, it boldly sings "that we should be to the praise of His glory." How could Words more meaningfully speak the supreme motivation of life. The heart must be laid bare, its most secret purposes discovered. The full and unreserved setting apart to God allows no reservation for self. Out vain ambition and proud self-gloryingl How Wonderful it is that poor redeemed sinners constitute a worthiness to be to His glory! Witli the searching of hearts follows the building of integrity in character. Vessels meet for the Nlasterls use must be holy. This requires a purity of the mind, of the emotions, and of the will. As Godls workman- ship We are created again in knowledge, righteousness and holiness of the truth,-God's poems in truth. Perfection of character alone does not fullill Paulls idea of our being 'ito the praise of His glory." A dynamic in life is assumed, that which will lead others to the same transformation of character. A desperate need exists for servants of God with a passion for souls, for young men and Women who will hazard their lives for the cause of Christ. hiore Bordens of Yale are needed, more --s of Eastern Nlennonite School. This space waits to be filled by members of the Class of 1946, those who will "be to the praise of His glory." l13l adcdlfqi with direct quotations or characteristic traits. D.

To the millions who are Q- "XLT--' 17 discouraved and dissatisfied with their present man- xaeizf' X ner of life, to those who have learned by experience that social rank, leadership, popularity, wealth, power and international fame do not satisfy the longings of the soul, the above quotation contains a message ol' comfort and hope. It expresses a beautiful sentiment, but is made more beautiful by living. The truth of your motto must be lived in order to convince the world of its reality. Humanity everywhere is groping about to see the Christ-life in action. You will be challenged many times to prove your motto, whether you serve your Lord in the home, in the public schoolroom, as teacher of a Sunday school or sunnner Bible school class, as nurse giving both physical and spiritual healing, or in answering a definite call to the moun4 tain areas, city or foreign held. Sell' must be crucified daily if Christ is to have the pre-eminence. As a class you have proved your loyalty to your Master by definite prayer and consecration. May this l'aithl'ulness to Him continue as you leave your Alma Mater and face the cold, sin-burdened world. You have a message, may the hungering souls receive it. You have many oppor- tunities, may you take advantage of them. You have a Christ who can keep and sustain you, may you use His power. That Christ may bless and guide you, that the Christ-life may radiate from you is my prayer. xxX D. RAI.I'H HKJSTFITTER Executive Committee ol the College Senior Class: D.

Your school life here has only been a beginning. The commencement of alter-school life starts today. How will it continue? How will it end? Our desire is that you may follow Paul as he followed Christ. That noble Christian warrior tells us in Philippians 4 and by his example how to begin and how to continue. This Spirit-led missionary answered the call to Macedonia by laying aside his own plans. He did not go to Bithynia. He did not go to Asia. He went to Europe. All along the way Paul cherished beautiful thoughts of truth, hon- esty, justice, purity. Paul tells us to live noble lives by right thinking. As a man Illinkfllr fllllfllflllij' "his lip ol truth shall be established." As a man Illinkrfilz horrestly "he will provide things honest in the sight ol' all men." As a man tllinketlz justly he will do justly which is "more ac- ceptable to the Lord than sacrifice." As a man thinkeih purely he will be pure and happy lor "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." May you realize these Pauline atlmonitions is my prayer. DANH-it. NV.

Classes under Godly instructors, the revival meetings, and Christian fellowship are unforgettable. VVe left school with a keener consciousness of the need of dying to self and living to God.

T61 I MY PRAYER Oh! turn me, mould me, mellow me for use. Per-vade my being with Thy 'vital force, That this else unexpressifve life of mine May become eloquent and full of power, Impregnated with life and strength divine. Put the bright torch of heafcen into my hand That I may carry it aloft i dnd win the eye of weary -wanderers here below To guide their feet into the paths of peace. I cannot raise the dead, Nor front this soil pluck precious dust, Nor bid the sleeper wake, lVor bend the lightning back, Nor muprle up the thunder, Nor bid the chains fall Front of creati0n's long enfettered limbs. But I can live a life that tells on other lifces tlnd makes this world less full of anguish and of pain,' J life that, like the pebble dropped upon the sea, Sends its wide circle to a hundred shores. Alay such a life be mine! Creator of true life, Thyself the life Thou gifuest, Give Thyself that Thou mayest dwell in me, Jud I in Thee.

The faculty's burdened concern for every student to "know Christ and the power of his resurrection" is largely responsible for this atmos- phere. Since primary emphasis is on spiritual development the two re- vivals are the IIIOSI important single events in the year. The fall revival was a spiritual refreshing to many. Prayers were answeredg faith was strengthened. The calls to deeper consecration and closer communion with Christ were answered by a number. Seed planted at this time was to hear a greatly-multiplied harvest in the winter revival. Students who remained unconsecrated became the cause for com- plete dependence upon God in prayer. As the winter revival approached the needs became more pronounced and more began praying seriously. More hearts were laid bare to the penetrating rays of the Holy Spirit with the prayer, "Search me, O God .... " Normal Christian living-the daily dying to self and living the vic- torious, resurrected life through Christ-was effectively stressed in the winter revival sermons. The Holy Spirit's working was evident. Convic- tion was heeded until almost every student had surrendered his life in living devotion to Christ. The sanctilying influence of the Holy Spirit was felt in all activities. God had again remarkably answered prayer. l70l The Upper Room It does not take one long to feel that a place has become tt part ol' him, when he resorts to that place more frequently than to any other besides his own home or his own room. Such a spot ol' familiarity can he found in the main building ol the Eastern Mennonite School. There, on the fourth floor, is a little room which many students lt-el is a part, ol themselves. lts walls hold tender. sacred memories. This little room is the lllost central in the entire liuiltlingg yet it is the highest room for it is at the top ol the last llight ol' stairs. Its posi- tion indicates the spiritual significance which it holds, for its purpose has become the central power ol' the spiritual life of the school. And while it is related to all activities, its place is higher than any other. claim- ing first consideration in the lives of many students. The room has been furnished as a haven for those seeking God alone -for personal devotion, for special unburdening in prayer, or for fellow- ship with a group in prayer. Many times a day, the small signs leading to this special rootn show the single word. "Occupied,', which conveys the message that someone is having a heart to heart talk with God. This will mean more of Christ lived through that person. and a greater dynamic of spiritual power poured out upon E.M.S. Participation and fellowship with Christ in an attitude of humility, such as there was among the I-ord's own in the upper rootn in jerusalem so long ago, is the essence ol' the atmospliere which makes this place a true "Upper Room" to us. Ruona lik.-NDN' l71I 72 4vJ1 York m -if To lVle to liive ls Clhrisl Beneath the life and activity ol' liastt-rn Xlennonitt- School can he felt the throbbing ol' a great hcart, lfrom its rhythmic and quietly power- ful pulsations eomes a dynamic stream ol' Yllllllllllg energy. Giving strength amid the thronging prcss ol' studics. perxading ercry rt-creation with refreshing wholesomt'ncss. guiding each social hour into uplifting fellowship, the beating heart ol lC.Nl.S. channels a dixint- powcr through the associations of men and wonicn. boys and girls whose daily walks blend in the harmony of common cxperienccs known as school lile. .Xml through it all are generated the llowing currents ol' unity. These heart to heart ties ol common lcllowship in salxation through jesus Christ hind teachers and students in a lilc-giving clcxotional cx- perience with God. From this hasic union springs the dynamic spiritual expression ol' E.M.S. Issuing from intlividual lixes identified with Christ daily in sell'-crucifixion and resurrection to newness ol' lilc tonic-s thc living testimony, "fo me to livc is Christ." From the heart-searching experiences ol' Holy Spirit revival on thc school campus to the telling impact ol the claims ol' Christ upon sin-laden men and women in surrounding communities which challenge soul-win- ning work to its best, the impt-lling thrill ol lixing Christ grips thc very soul of E.M.S. and motivates her to a tlet-per consecration and more radiant testimony. Each night, when the hlanket ol' darkness t-nfolds thc Valley. and the great heart vibrates into silent rcst. the lore ol its Creator with guid- ing hands prepares to unfold new horizons ol' spiritual heights to chal- lenge the Hrst throh ol' each dawning tomorrow. Rtcziuium Ul"'l'XVl4Il.l'R u 7-S 1 'Q BIBLE FELLOWSHIPS Theosehian Fellowship This fellowship is provided for the upper classmen in the college Bible department with Bro. R. Mumaw as sponsor. It is comparatively small in size but extensive in its reach. Through its monthly meetings it seeks to stimulate a devotional approach to the scriptures, to lead us into vocations that will be God-honoring, to develop well-rounded per' sonalities for more effective Christian service, to picture for us the various trends in our church life, and to seek solutions for the unfavorable ones. These periods of fellowship bring us into areas of practical Christian living-7pr0blems the church and Christian workers are facing right now. Here we share our convictions and ideals for Christian service. Such fel- lowship is invaluable to our school life and further service to God. NORMAN Dlf1RS'l'INli Deovenarian Fellowship liach month the Hrst and second year college students accept the Master's invitation to come apart and rest awhile by fellowshipping with other Deovenarians, "God worshippers." As we sit at the Saviou'r's feet, we receive new challenges to deepen our devotional lives. Our visions for loyal service in His vineyard are broadened, as training for Christ and the church are emphasized and methods of evangelism are discussed. Studies in the book of Malachi were among the high spots of this year's programs. Refreshed and strengthened by feeding in green pastures, we return to our tasks with a fervent desire to do more for the cause of Christ.

These periods are a time of refreshing-an oasis in the week's schedule. They are the times when we give vent to our feelings on wings of song. Furthermore, they help us develop our talents. The ready wit and musical knowledge of our director contributes largely to the enjoyment of these hours. The Yuletide season found us harmonizing the friendly melody, "Here YVC Come a Carolingf' Other songs of the season were "Let Our Gladness Know No End" and "Lo, How a Rose Her Blooming." On the Christmas program, in addition to our own standing of three songs, it was also our privilege to sing four carols with the Mixed Chorus. Highlighting the year for the Junior Chorus, another public program was given in the spring. Some of the selections were "God is Good," "As Torrents in Summer," and the lovely anthem, "The Stranger of Galilee." The prayer offered by one ol the members be- fore the Christmas program very aptly expresses the purpose of the chorus-"Lord, be near to us, that by our voices raised in song others may be drawn near to Thee."

In the shadows of the flickering candlelight we take a glimpse into the ancient Catholic Cloisters. Soon the beautiful strains of "Ave Mariaf, sung by a soloist, thrill ns. Then there is a discussion ol' Catholic doc- trines and traditions-which adds to general religious knowledge. A mixed quartet sings the hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light," the lines of which were written by a Catholic cardinal. After a graphic review of the book, "The Monk XVl1o Lived Again," we all determine to read the account of Fray Luis' search for the true Light. The program is concluded with another solo followed by a discussion on Catholicism today. This is one of the fifteen programs which the Zelathean Literary Society has enjoyed throughout the past year. It portrays the originality and talent which were displayed at each meeting.

Few Adelphians will forget the lovely evening spent in the lounge listening to Miss NVenger tell stories by candlelight, or the spelling bee which Bro. Mark Stauffer conducted, or the surprised look on some peo- ple's faces, proving the effectiveness of our impromptu programs. The highlight of the year's programs is the Adelphian outing, where friend- ship is deepened and enriched through games, refreshments, and prayer circle. Of course, all of our programs are not special, but all are interesting. Among the treasured memories of E.M.S. there will be many recollections of evenings spent with the Adelphian Literary Society.

It is into this perfect world that the Nature Society has delved. Com- posed of high school juniors, the Society has enjoyed many afternoons hiking, and many evenings in the Biology Laboratory listening to pro- grams and illustrated lectures. Some of our program titles were "Wild Life in Africa," "Reptiles of the World," and "Customs of the Eskimosf' Under the experienced guidance of Bro. D. Ralph Hostetter we have lived with the trees, the stalactites, the birds, the rocks, the streams, and the smaller animals of many natural sites in the vicinity of the school. The Nature Society has helped its members to appreciate the first bud of springtime and the robin's return. Furthermore, it has helped them to appreciate the Work of God as Creator.

In the changing scene of school progress, the journal is trying to adapt the columns of its pages to meet the ever-increasing demands of its readers. The re-establishment ol' a Bible Department has been a step toward the promoting of a more vital fellowship among graduate Bible students and those who are now engaged in Bible study here.

SNAPSHOTS OF THIS YEAR At last the long awaited structure appears as eyes strain to catch the first glimpse of E.M.S. from the Valley Pike. Then comes the jumble of meeting old friends, seeing new students, drinking strange Water, finding room and room-mates, registration, tired feet, and so to bed. The first day of school has passed into history. The soft crunch of dead leaves blended with the dim glow of candles to create a delightful holiday atmosphere in the dining hall one evening last fall. Thus, with festive surroundings and grateful hearts, E.M.S. students witnessed the close of Thanksgiving Day, 1945. SG Sli :li E.M.S. halls for several days had reeked with the foreboding prospects of influenzag nevertheless, the students assembled unsuspectingly as they had done so many times before. The joyous expectancy of Christmas was evident, especially in dorm students. Following the chapel service and activities period of NVednesday morning the dignified figure of Bro. Chester appeared on the platform. Then the expression of the audience changed, eyes grew larger, faces lit up, as the Dean solemnly announced that school was closing at noon. its SS Ziff The school year that is past has many bright spots, but one which will always be treasured, that will ever be surrounded with reverence and appreciation is the period of very intimate contact with the workings of God, commonly known as revival meetings.
