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.

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.

SEMINARY FOfflJM Seminary Forum is an organization of seminary and pre-seminary men preparing for the ministry and to stimu- late interest in theologican and church problems. No one can deny that the Semi- nary Forum, one of the oldest organi- zations at North Park continued to serve many spiritually important purposes. First, it gives all the young men who will soon be working for the Lord in the Covenant ministry an opportunity to hear the experiences of older ministers, who have been out in the field lor a number of years. These discussions revealed many problems mentioned. Then, too, in Forum the Seminarians can talk over their individual doubts, hopes, and ambitions, and through conversation, they gain strength. Perhaps the most important pur- pose of the Seminary Forum is that in it the future pastors made life-long friends among those who are like minded in the faith, who have also vowed to devote their lives to serve God. In future years these friendships will mean a great deal to these men as they share the heartaches, joys, and deep satisfaction of theirs, the noblest of all professions. Warren Nelson led the group this year. Those helping him were William Liljegren, David Johnson, and Willis Adell. Row I: M. Wickstrom. L. Anderson, I lohnson I Nordstrom. L Flint, A Borns, R.
