Artemas also sang in the school quartette for two years. Ile has shown a whole hearted interest in everything that concerned Allentown Bible Institute. He has spread among us much happiness. We, as ia school are indebted to Lewis and Artemas more than we can repay for their willing and whole-hearted service in behalf of the school. During the last part of the school year, seeing the need of the school, they gave their services in canvassing the Eastern District in behalf of God 's work in the Institute. As Artemas goes forth we release hini with the confidence that his will be a life which will lead many to Christ. ,A Flarence Vtlert first came to school in 1929 having graduated from High School in Dalmatia, Pa. Last year he returned to A. B. I. to com- plete his course in Theology. VVe have enjoyed his fellowship as he has taken his place as truck driver, kitchen worker, and preacher. He is an able student. His attainments have been reached through hard labor. His attitude toward God and spiritual things has been a great help to the students.. He has always been ready with cheery words when many others were discouraged. When he returned to school from his C'hristn1ias vacation, Margaret Stroup had become Mrs. Wert. We are indeed glad to have him to graduate with us. As he goes from A. B. I. we believe he goes with the blessing of God and we feel assured that he will go out to bless a lost and dying world. Margaret Stroup Wert joined us in 1932. During the three years she has spent in school her steady walk with God and her constant faith in Him have been a blessing to those who know her. Margaret has also proven to us that she is a good cook, having served the school in that capacity for three years. We are confident that her life will be a blessing. The necessity of graduation deprives us of some of the best friends we can hope to have. Margaret, may God bless you as you go forth to labor for Him. Lloyd Simpson came to A. B. I. in 1931 from Greensburg, Pa. to finish his High School. Prior to his coming he spent a short time in Kingswood College, Ky. During his stay with us this year we have found him to 'be a most agreeable boy, with a sincere and honest heart. One who was always willing to accommodate even in the smallest favors. Lloyd has been ia blessing by his musical talent both instrumental and vocal. We feel assured that if he continues to let God have his way in his life he -will prove to be a blessing to those with whom he comes in contact. We wish him the heartiest success in the school that is called life . Thelma Beck entered school in 1931 and is a resident of this city. We have admired her for her desire to be at the head of her class. Nor were those ambitions fruitless for very few have ranked higher. -MQ 2 B 554'

Lindley Adams,.a twin brother of Lewis, is another of the graduates coming from Glassboro, N. J. He began his Theological work here in 1933 and has worked hard, completing a three year course in two years. Lindley, like his brother, is quite a philosopher, and his hobby seems to be that of arguing. VVe hope that throughout his life he will be able to convince others that the way of the Cross is the only true way. Lindley has proved himself a scholar, and what he starts he usually finishes. He has expressed a desire to go to college. We wish him a most successful future as he strives to fulfill his calling. Arthur Kleppinger is the second of his family to graduate from our school. He joined us -when ibut a little 'boy of thirteen years. After completing his High School here in 1933, he returned to study in the Theological Department. He is of the studious type, his favorite study being Greek, and if it 's all Greek to him he likes it. But he is not stop- ping here for he hopes to go to college before his school days are over. Arthur, as you leave A. B. I. the best wishes of all go with you. We trust that your life will ever be an example of vital Christian living. Thus ends the history of the Class of 1935. As we have labored to- gether here so We go forth to be Laborers together with Him . ALDEN E HEADLEY. HISTORY OF THE HISTORIAN Aldene Headley left Holbrook, Pa. in 1931 and came to A. B. I.
