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.

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.

NORTH PARK LETTERMEN M. Coll.. w. w. G. II D. Hess, G. Lundin. R. Sagei D.Goethe D Nyquisl P. Swanson. n. E. Dwyer, R Lofgren, B Lake. I. lohnson, D Nelson, R. Fowle A. Edstr, The North Park athlete feels a cer- tain pride in winning his first large blue and gold athletic letter. He then auto- matically becomes a member of that exclusive organization, the Lettermen ' s Club. Membership in this club stands for countless hours of grueling practice on the gridiron, the basketball court, the baseball diamond, or the running track. It stands for the glory of winning as well as the disappointment in losing, but most ot all it stands for the promo- tion of good sportsmanship. The Lettermen ' s reception during Homecoming highlighted the club ' s ac- tivities for the year. The purpose of this reception was to resume friend- ships of past years. Many alumni ath- letes and former coaches were present to help make the reception a success. Money obtained from Sports Night helped to purchase letter jackets for members who had received two letters m the same sport. Besides handing out lettermen ' s jackets, it also contributes one hun- dred dollars a year toward the Athletic Scholarship Fund. This fund is used to help some student, who participates in sports through college. The lettermen worked hard for the school and students throughout the year, and can look back with pride at their accomplishments. They supplied programs for all of the football games, and were constantly looking for ways m which to improve the club.
