MINNESOTA From the land of Paul Bunyan come the members ot the Minnesota Club, this being the only prerequisite tor membership in an organization which was founded at North Park in 1951. Though large in number, the Minnesota Club takes little part in campus activities, its primary function being of a social nature. The Swedes from Minnesota can well be proud of their contributions to the North Park student body during the past two years. They have con- tributed members to the national honor society, Phi Theta Kappa. Glenn Hart- quist was voted most likely to succeed in the college notable poll, and Richard Lysaker. An additional honor was re- corded with the election of Carol Le Vahn to preside as Homecoming Queen of 1952. A former Minnesota resident, Paul Swanson, has upheld the high traditions of the gridiron dur- ing his two years of first string varsity service. Row I; A I reedholm. V Franklin, M. Olson, J. Olsen.

V. as it is usually known, is made up ot students who have a definite interest in missionary work at home and abroad. Many ot the members are already looking forward and prepar- ing tor the time when they will be serv- ing their Lord in some distant land or at home. Former M. V. members are at present making Christ known in Atrica, South America, China, Alaska, Ecuador, and in our own land. M. V. meetings are held the first Monday evening of each month in the Seminary Building. Missionary speak- ers, films depicting missionary work and life, and a guestion hour make up the programs. A panel discussion was held among students who had done missionary work this past summer. In January, the message was given by the Rev. Gordon Christianson of Belgian Congo. The highlight of the year was the banguet held in February in Sohl- berg Commons, with the Rev. Helga Hamilton. Covenant missionary to Alaska as the speaker. Missionary Volunteers is one of the oldest campus organizations and boasts one of the largest, active mem- berships. Most North Parkers will re- member the regular notices which donned the many blackboards of our classrooms and served not only as a trade mark, but a timely reminder to all.

What an extraordi- nary group ol young people this is, he might have thought, for, though they have Bibles in their hands, yet they have smiles on their faces. Both the Bibles and smiles are easily ex- plained, for the group consisted of vi- brant Christian young people — the North Park Christian Fellowship. The Christian Fellowship is an or- ganization affiliated with Inter-varsity. As strengthened by fellowship together in Christ, they meet to study the Bible intently, searching for a real under- standing of the scriptures. By piecing together the many and often opposing convictions of their members, they came closer to the truth, and an under- standing of Christian Fellowship. Evert Ecklund served as president this year. Assisting him were: Paul Sparrman, Marjorie Ramgren, Helen Anderson, Myrna Sandell, and Lydia Deyneka. In November the Christian Fellow- ship sponsored a CTA party. One of the discussions this year was on Chris- tian College or Secular College? Having no membership rules, the Fellowship welcomes everyone into its club. Where two or three are gath- ered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.
