Ws4k JK0 LA pride and great joy. we proclaim the Fiftieth nniversan I Miltonvale Wesleyan College. As time marches on. these fifty golden years of the history of M. W. C. become more precious to the individuals that have been a part of this great institution. Miltonvale Wesleyan College was founded to provide a Christian education in a Christian atmosphere and to prepare workers for the work of the Lord. At the very core of life at M. W. C. stands Christ, who daily loadeth us with benefits. The spirit of M. W. C. has urged us to look up — up to our Heavenly Father, to values of eternal importance, to a Savior, Guide, and Friend. Woven into the fabric of the school are the threads of consistency, effici- ency, patience, and devotion as found in the lives of our faculty and staff. Numberless are the memories that have made the days at Miltonvale College the best years of our life. We shall never forget the beauty of the campus as it changed with the seasons, the social life with its gaiety, the fun and sometimes frustration, and cramming for exams un- til the wee hours of the morning. Then. too. we remember the people we met. the friendships made, the experiences we shared, the great spiritual victories that were won. all of which made us better persons and prepared us to better meet future problems. Miltonvale College has rendered many services through the years. From her halls have gone three thousand twenty-one voung people. Many of these are serving as denominational officers, college presidents, pastors, teachers, and doctors; others are Christian laymen in var- ious places of service. All of these can point back to M. W. C. and recall that they received the highest in academic preparation with the highest in spiritual attainment. Along with the bar- vest of these services has come the necessity of a new vision, consecrated men and the ded- ication of time and finances. Christ has been our help in ages past; He is the hope of years to come. Let us, by His help, endeavor to continue to accomplish the divinely organized mission as it moves forward in the next half-centur . Students anft iaff

In Memoriam I ' .iul William Shaw We respectfully dedicate the 1959 SUNFLOWER to the memory of Professor Paul William Shaw. His death on September 11, 1958. was the result of an accident which occured while playing hall on the campus on September 3. Prof. Shaw joined the staff of Miltonvale College in 1955. After two years of service, he was recognized hv the National Science Foundation and being granted a leave of absence from Miltonvale College, he spent a year at the University of Illinois under the sponsorship of the Foundation. He and his family returned to MWC on September 1, 1958. Of an alert mind, congenial personality and abounding talent. Prof. Shaw lived his life among us in a manner that convinced everyone of his deep purpose to keep Christ first. His influence will continue exerting its strength upon us. helping mold us into better Christians. Prof. Shaw has left us a challenge — a challenge to answer God ' s call to Christian service and carry forward the work that has been so well begun by this man of God. I have fought a good fight. I have finished mv course. I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
