Eric Jones B. S., F. R. G. S. President of Atlantic Union College Message From pw W e must not today rest on the laurels of the past, or merely live in growing awareness of the present, hat rather see to plan for the future and the training of our youth for service. This calls for imagination, alertness, and wisdom. While our country, and in fact the whole world about us, is seeding to condition its youth — making them air-minded, nations of fliers, — we, too, must be about our Father ' s business. We must become power minded. Neither today nor in the days to come are we to trust to ourselves or to the stron g arm of flesh. Simple faith in and sincere prayer to the Giver of every good and perfect gift, is what we need today to power-condition those who are to finish the wor . May every young person who enters Atlantic Union College, come with a strong purpose to be a Minuteman for God , courageous, loyal, obedient. May the Master Teacher be pleased to place the mantle of power on those who, having trained for Service, go from these Halls, trusting not in man ' s wisdom, glorying not in their own accomplishments, unafraid and unashamed, dedicated to the Service of God, country, and humanity. As we bid some of you adieu this year, we wish as a Staff not alone to extend good wishes for your continued success, but also to express sincere appreciation for your splendid cooperation and the many evidences of your friendship. Sixty Years of Service The little carriage shop with a future. April, 1882. ' n April 19, 1882, in a humble little carriage shop that had stood for years in the rear of Elder Stephen N. Haskell ' s home on the north corner of Main Street and Nar- row Lane, Atlantic Union College was born . In 1873, when the membership of the South Lancaster Seventh-day Adventist Church had become so large that it could no longer be accommodated in private homes, this little old one-story shop, twenty- four by eighteen feet, had been moved westward to Sawyer Street and converted into a chapel where the Adventists worshipped until 1878, when outgrown, the little shop-chapel was abandoned. When plans for a school were being made, Elder Haskell suggested that this little chapel be utilized, for a time at least, as a schoolhouse. The little building was moved eastward to the middle of an open field near where Mr. Hanaford ' s store now stands, and facing the south, it stood all alone, for there was no Prescott Street at that time, and a fence extended all along Main Street. How the good folk scrubbed and painted that little room to make it ready for the new part it was about to play. Professor Goodloe Harper Bell was chosen to take charge of the New England School, as it was first called. Professor Bell had had many years ' experience in the public Elder Stephen N. Haskell. schools of Michigan, and was at this time professor of English in Battle Creek College. Goodloe H. Bell, 1882-84. • . SSiLjL. Academy or Administration Building. For two years school was held in the church. On that first bright spring morning in front of Professor Bell and his assistant, Miss Edith Sprague, who had arrived a few days before from Battle Creek, sat nine- teen young men and women between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four. When the roll was called, the following answered ' present ' to their names: Orville Farnsworth, Horace Tucker, Otis Thayer, George Holley, Cortez Bee, Omar Bell, Ernest Stratton, Hermon Stowell, Herbert Stowell, William Weston, Joseph Mace, Rose Redmond, Ella Graham, Carrie Mace, Mina Robinson, Lizzie Spencer, Elsie Turple, Nettie Priest, and Bertha Priest. In a few days Edwin Cobb, Esther Richmond, Gertie Perry, Flora Piper, and Es ' .ella Clements joined the others, making a total enrollment of twenty-four for the term. In the summer of 1882, immediately after the close of the first term, as applica- tions for admission to the school came from all directions, immediate steps had to be taken to provide room for the anticipated increased enrollment. The two houses north of the Seventh-day Adventist Church were rented for dormitories. Again the little shop had to be abandoned, and for two years school was held in the church. In the fall of 1883 a board of managers was elected and the institution incor- porated under the laws of Massachusetts as South Lancaster Academy. The main part of the present Administration building and the section of the dormitory known as East Hall were completed in the summer of 1884. . . . The frugal school fathers believed in economy, for even the land in front of the Academy was planted to corn, the rows extending almost to the front steps. The dormitory was set in the midst of a large orchard and for many years tall apple trees grew in the front yard. Students ' Home, 1884-99. Dores A. Robinson, 1884-85. ! Joseph H. Haughey. 1894-99. As Professor Bell began to feel that his increasing responsibilities were be- coming too heavy, he resigned in the spring of 1884, and Elder D. A. Robinson, a minister in the New England Confer- ence, was appointed principal. . . . That fall there came to South Lancaster from Kansas a teacher who was eventually to wield a powerful influence in the school and to become a strong pillar in its up- building. This was Mrs. Sara J. Hall. Mrs. Hall ' s pupils, now scattered far and wide, will always be grateful to her for her in- sistence upon well-learned lessons. Prosperity attended Elder Robinson ' s wise management . . . but at the end of the spring term, he was called back to ministerial work, and the growing young school was again left without a principal. Then Elder Haskell sent a call to Professor Charles C. Ramsay of Healdsburg Col- lege, California, to take charge of South Lancaster Academy. He immediately be- gan to organize the school and planned regular courses of study. That much-travelled little schoolhouse . . . had not been idle, but having taken a short journey across to the east side of Sawyer Street, was now displaying over its door a big sign, ' Printing Office. ' Here the boys were learning the art of print- ing under the skilled instruction of Mrs. Emma L. Ball. Here too was published the first school paper, the ' True Educator ' . . . the forerunner of the ' Lancastrian. ' In the spring of 1886, Professor Ramsay enlisted the services of a young min- ister from the New York Conference to assist in methods of missionary endeavor. This young minister was E. Edgar Miles, who was destined to remain several years a mem- ber of the Academy faculty as Bible teacher and a resident of South Lancaster until his death in 1933. Elder Miles soon proved an indispensable addition to the faculty, and to the last a loyal supporter of the institution. The E. E. Miles Bindery, which has assisted thousands of students in earning their college expenses, stands as a memorial to his vision. Five years after its founding, the purpose of South Lancaster Academy was forcibly demonstrated, when one day in May, 1887, it gave its first foreign missionary from among its ranks. Teachers, students, and friends gathered in the church to bid farewell to Carrie Mace, a sister of Elder J. W. Mace and a charter member of the school, who had accepted a call to mission work in South Africa. With her were Elder D. A. Robinson, the second principal, who with his wife accompanied Miss Mace, and Elder S. N. Haskell with his secretary, William A. Spicer, who sailed for England on the same boat. Charles C.

May 12, 1888, was an eventful day in the history of South Lancaster Acad- emy, when the graduating exercises of the first senior class were held in the chapel. . . . Diplomas were presented by the Principal to a class of four young women, one of whom was Miss Rowena E. Purdon, who has taught in the Normal School, the College, and the Academy. After three years, Professor Ramsay resigned his position to continue his edu- cation at Harvard University, and at his suggestion his former pupil at Battle Creek College, Professor George W. Caviness, was chosen to succeed him. Professor Cav- iness laid plans for a new dormitory and a large addition to the academy building. He was called to the p residency of Battle Creek College in the spring of 1894, but the ideas for expansion which he had outlined were partly carried out during the sum- mer following. South Hall and another house on Prescott Street were rented to furnish rooms for students. Joseph H. Haughey, professor of mathematics in Battle Creek College, fol- lowed Professor Caviness as principal. All the buildings were overcrowded, and the girls in East Hall looked impatiently across the field to the slowly developing outlines of their new home, which was being erected on the present site of the Thayer Bird Museum. The curved brick walk now leading to the Museum was laid out by Professor Haughey ' s own geometric hand. Due to financial strain, the new dormitory was used only four years and then sold to the New England Sanitarium. After standing idle for four years old East Hall was quickly repaired, the four-story central portion and West Hall were added, and in the fall of 1899, the students were returned to their former place of abode on Prescott Street.

Professor Haughey was succeeded in 1899 by Professor Frederick Griggs, under whose direction the school made rapid advancement in scholastic standards, enrollment, and general development. . . . Several school courses beyond high school grades were introduced during these years, indicating a tendency toward junior col- lege rating, a goal which was to be realized a few years later. In 1902, Elder Miles built the Student Bindery in South Lancaster. By employ- ing student labor this enterprise has since enabled hundreds of young men and women to earn a part or all of their school expenses. . . . Elder Miles superintended this industry until his death in 1933. Since that time the business has been success- fully managed by his son, Walter E. Miles. In 1907 Professor Benjamin F. Machlan was chosen as Principal Griggs ' s suc- cessor. It was at this time that ' the scholarship plan for colporteurs was introduced to aid students to meet their school expenses. ' In December of this same year the students began to print a small sixteen-page monthly paper called the ' Student Idea. ' Principal Machlan had not long been settled in his new position when he ac- cepted a call to Australia, and Elder C. S. Longacre, who had been Bible teacher of the Academy, became principal. On October 30, 1912, a small group gathered on the campus to witness the laying of the granite cornerstone of the J. T. Browning Missionary and Industrial Normal. . . . Miss Hansa A. Browning had given a donation to the school for a normal building. . . . Besides classrooms sufficient for carrying on eight grades of school work and practice teaching, the third floor was well equipped for domestic science labora- tories, in which Doctor Lauretta Kress was the first instructor. Mrs. Jessie Osborne was the first normal director. . . . Much credit is due to Mr. Charles Kilgore for his untiring interest in the details of the construction and the equipment of the interior.

The post office and general store converted into classrooms and later home of the woodworking department. After four years of faithful service in Australia, upon the advice of his physi- cian, Professor Machlan returned to America, and in 1913 once more resumed charge of South Lancaster Academy. . . . After three years Professor Machlan accepted the presidency of Washington Missionary College, and Professor William G. Wirth was chosen to fill the vacancy. He remained here but one year, however, and Dr. Mahlon E. Olsen, was elected principal. . . . Through his efforts, in 1918 South Lancaster Acad- emy was formally recognized as Lancaster Junior College, with courses covering four- teen grades. Dr. Olsen returned to Washington, D. C, in 1920, and September of that year found the College without a president. The Educational Department of the General Conference at Washington, D. C, appointed Professor Otto M. John to fill the place temporarily. After a few weeks the College Board elected Professor George R. Leh- man to the position, which he very ably filled until the end of the year. Then for the third time Professor Machlan came to South Lancaster to his old place, not as principal of South Lancaster Academy, but as president of Lancaster Jun- ior College. Feeling that the institution should not long remain a fourteen-grade school, President Machlan immediately took steps to raise its rating, and a four years ' theo- logical course was added to the curriculum. In the fall of 1922 the right to confer the degree of Bachelor of Theology was granted by the General Court of Massachuseits, and Lancaster Junior College became Atlantic Union College. Four years later, the legislature passed a bill authorizing the College to confer upon its grad- uates the degree of Bachelor of Religious Edu- cation. In 1923 the school purchased the large two- story building, for many years occupied by the South Lancaster Post Office and general store, moved it from Main Street across the campus west of the College, and divided it into class- rooms. It later housed the prosperous wood- working department for several years. Mahlon E. Olsen, 1917-20. Breaking ground for science building, 1932. Oito M. John. 1928-36. In October, 1926, the students voted to change the name of the school paper, the ' Student Idea, ' to the ' Lancastrian. ' The first editor under the new title was Mrs. Ethyl R. Taylor. Since that time the paper has continued without interruption, either in magazine or newspaper form. This same year the Atlantic Union College Alumni Association was organized, a constitution was drawn up, and officers were elected. Although President Machlan was still at his post of duty in September, 1927, when college opened, it was evident to all that his step was slower and his former vigor abating . . . He went to the New Eng land Sanitarium for treatment, but it was to no avail. He was removed to Washington, D. C, where he slowly failed until May 20, 1929, when his labors were ended. In the meantime Professor Otto Marion John, Dean of Emmanuel Missionary College in Michigan, was called to fill the chair made vacant by President Machlan ' s illness. . . . In 1932 President John induced the owner to sell to the school the open lot be- tween the dormitory and the college. This was soon transformed into a beautiful green lawn with a broad cement walk connecting the two main buildings, and it gave to the institution what it had never possessed before, a sizeable campus. April 19, 1932, was another milestone in the history of Atlantic Union College. It had been fifty years since those nineteen students had gathered in that first little schoolroom, — it was the golden birthday of the school, — and a large crowd of Alumni, former teachers, and friends came together to celebrate it. ... A special edi- tion of the ' Lancastrian, ' known as the ' Minuteman, ' was published in honor of the anniversary. Ambitious to raise the standards of the institution, President John worked without ceasing to acquaint stale educational officials with the aims of Atlantic Union College. He enlisted the legal service of former Principal Charles C. Ramsay, for many years a Boston attorney, who manifested his continued interest in the school by his invaluable assistance in procuring from the State Legislature the authority to confer the degree of Bachelor of Arts upon graduates of the college course. In the summer of 1932, through the generosity of Elder E. E. Miles, the Student Bindery Memorial Science Hall was erected on the west side of the new campus. This addition to the equipment of the College materially increased its efficiency. Miles ' Student Bindery Memorial Science Hall. 1932. College Press. 1936. The college press had been moved to the basement of the Normal building. However, quarters here were crowded, and a larger place was an immediate need. To solve the problem President John in May, 1936, effected the purchase of the large barn north of the College with the adjoining grounds, and to this remodelled building the College Press was transferred. In 1936, President John was transferred to Union College, Lincoln, Nebraska, and Professor G. Eric Jones of Washington Missionary College, Washington, D. C, was elected president. He came to the position with a background of years of suc- cessful school experience, together with long service in the foreign mission field. With strong faith in the future of Seventh-day Adventist educational work in the East he went about his task, and under his wise direction Atlantic Union College has gone steadily forward. An earnest, spiritual atmosphere among students and faculty indi- cates that the object of the school is kept constantly in sight. As one looks about, he sees the material results of the Expansion Campaign on every side. The land east of the Print Shop, extending along George Hill Road to Main Street, was added to the school property in October, 1937. On the evening of February 12, 1937, the College suffered a great loss when the school barn and adjoining buildings and farm equipment, were destroyed by fire. A year later a large thoroughly modern dairy barn was built in its place. A site for a new residence hall for women was selected in 1938 with a front- age on Main Street, and with that location in view, property in that vicinity has been purchased from time to time. First the old Goss place . . . owned and occupied for several years by Charles R. Chant, was secured, moved westward across the campus, and located between the Science building and West Hall ... It is now occupied by the College School of Music. In 1939 the old Fitch property, lately known as the Sey- mour house, was taken over, also the dwelling on the corner of Flagg Street, occupied for years by Mr. Harry Ancill. The latest purchase is the land to the west of the Thayer Bird Mu- seum where the newly built re- creation court is located. A large portion of the money to pay for this court was raised by the students in one week ' s time. Music Hall, 1938. The crowning event thus far in the administration of President Jones is the erection of the long-waited-for and greatly-needed new residence hall for women. It was a happy group of young women who moved their belong- ings from old East Hall to their beautiful thoroughly modern new dormitory on Main Street, in September, 1940. Presi- dent Jones and Miss Pearl Rees, dean of women, spent many hours choosing the furnishings that have made an ideal home for the young women of Atlantic Union College and South Lancaster Academy. With a broad front lawn and the remaining area landscaped from Main to Orchard Street, and from Flagg to Pres- cott Streets, and the acquisition and improving of newly acquired properties between Flagg Street and George Hill Road, Atlantic Union College has a campus worthy of its New England setting.

The Mill is expanding so rapidly that it has already been necessary to add to the original building. Today Atlantic Union College stands firmly for the purpose of the founders of that little school of 1882 — the preparation of young people for the work of God. It has not been by might or power of men, by fine buildings or heavy endowments that this insti- tution has done its work, but quietly, steadily, under the guiding hand of God, for sixty years it has served humanity, fulfilling its mission and sending its influence to the far cor- ners of the earth. This old apple tree, the last of the original orchard, uld have given the history from the beginning until 1940. The 1942 MINUTEMAN Staff wishes to express their sincere appreciation to Miss Rowena E. Purdon for her full cooperation in making possible this presentation of the history of Atlantic Union College through the unlimited use of her book, The Story of a School. College Mill, 1941 ML •ft 8 tf tffl) to Since 1887, when Carrie Mace and Elder and Mrs. D. A. Robinson were sent to South Africa as the first foreign missionaries from this institution, the purpose for which this training school was originally founded has been conscientiously continued. At the present time, the Honor Roll of Foreign Missionaries which hangs on the chapel wall, contains 254 names of those who have gone out to the foreign mission field. Their general locations in missions, schools or hospitals are indicated on the map by small buildings. Willingly following the Master wherever He leads, they have found that real success lies only in service for others. r Board of Trustees M. L. Rice, Chairman, G. E. Jones, Secre- tary, W. H. Howard.

To instill in the mind of each student a love for the Bible, to train him to carry out the divine commission, and to give him a practical everyday Christianity is the earnest desire of those in charge of this most important department of the college. Under the efficient leadership of Pro- fessors Lewis H. Hartin and Hubert K. Martin the Bible department has enlarged its curriculum to such an extent that only one course is lacking in giving a special- ized, specific and detailed study of the books of the Bible from Genesis to Revela- tion. While the theory of Christian living is being learned, it is also being put into practice. Five evangelistic efforts have been conducted this year by the students enrolled in the courses of this department, and two churches are now under the guidance of the embryo ministers and Bible workers. Each student who enrolls in a course in the Department of Religion is helping to carry out the purpose of the devoted founders of this institution of Christian learning. Professor Lewis H.

We are living in an age of speed and efficiency in a world of business. With Professor Harold U. Wendell at its head the Business Administration and Eco- nomics Department of the college is geared to prepare students to take their places in this world. Interesting careers are open for the graduates of this depart- ment. By way of the administrative classes, one learns how to conduct one ' s own business as well as how to become an executive and direct others in business. Absolute standards of high attainment have been established in the Secretarial Training courses taught in this depart- ment, under the supervision of Miss Irene Ortner. Not only will shorthand and typ- ing help one in filling a position in life after college, but a knowledge of these two very practical subjects is an easy stepping-stone to success in one ' s work and studies while in college. Professor Harold U. Wendell explains an intricate theory. Business Administration Miss Irene Ortner, exacting Instructor in Secretarial Training. As mathematics and physics advance, so human progress advances. This may seem impossible, but just how far would civil engineering, medical science, and everyday trade in the business world, or any of the other applied sciences, have developed if it had not been for mathe- matics and physics? They are extremely essential in every line of work or study. The greatest benefit that one derives from studying mathematics or physics is the cultivating of a systematic and organ- ized method of thinking. One receives an immense feeling of satisfaction when a stubborn equation has been solved or an experiment has been performed to meet Professor Milton Hare ' s exacting re- quirements. One surely cannot go wrong by taking a course in this department. Mysteries of Mathematics and Physics unraveled by Professor Milton D. Hare Mathematics and Physics Students experimenting in the physics laboratory. Mrs. Lauretta Wilcox-Jarnes inspects a biological specimen. The popularity of the prenursing cur- riculum is evinced by the large enrollment in the classes offered in these courses, which are under the able supervision of Mrs. Lauretta Wilcox-Jarnes. Not only do the students in these classes learn some of the background of caring for others, but they also through the principles of healthful living learn how- to care for their own bodies. In the physi- cal education class students play vigorous games, perform calisthenics and learn corrective exercises. The commission to minister unto others is carefully infused into the training of these future nurses and doctors, along with their general cultural subjects, and such scientific subjects as anatomy and physiology, bacteriology, biology and chemistry. Nursing and Health Education Prenursing students at work in laboratory. If one can once get past the thick cloud of smelly fumes that float down the stairs of the Science Building and brave the dangers that the uninitiated fear are in the upper regions, he will find one of the most interesting places on the campus. Here marvels and mysteries are revealed before the wondering eyes of the careful student. Contrary to the mistaken notion that chemistry is just a study for the would-be doctor or nurse, the fact is that chemical processes are going on around us all the time, and the study of the composition of substances, their analysis, and the trans- formations which they undergo all hold a challenge to anyone who is at all inter- ested in what makes himself and the things around him tick.

THE CHEMICAL ELEMENTS A chemical laboratory experiment. 5 To be able to communicate knowledge to other people, and at the same time to inspire them to a greater desire for learning, is the gift of the real teacher. The study of education and psy- chology helps the student to view all subjects in relation to the whole as they assume their proper per- spective. Through this same medium, the study of education and psychol- ogy as pursued in the past, com- pared with the present systems, adds to the knowledge of what is being accomplished along educa- tional lines in the light of the teach- er ' s responsibility towards the lives that he is to influence. Courses in the learning and teaching processes, followed by participation, observation, and di- rected teaching in the elementary and secondary fields, prepare the student for actual teaching. As one learns how to train others, his own life will be molded after the likeness of the divine Teacher. Professor Gerald E. Miles explains a theory of psychology. Education Miss S. Ellen Klose, Director of Elementary Teacher Training and her group of critic teachers. ;. Rochelle Philmon-Kilgore, inspirational Head of Department f English, has done much research work in the literary field. English language and literature is the basis and background for all other subjects. To be able to put commas where they belong, to write an article for the school paper, to give a speech that swings the final vot e on a de- bate, to have a fine feeling for words and their proper uses — all this and much more is taught and cultivated in this popular department of the college. The study of the masters, recog- nizing their philosophy, seeing things through their eyes, having higher hopes and ideals because of their works, being inspired to greater heights, develops in the student a greater appreciation of the finer things of life. There are some classes which are, as Mrs. Kilgore says, The strawberry shortcake of life. These are the poetry classes. Even the stu- dent who thinks he does not like poetry will go away from these classes with his ideas entirely re- versed, his outlook broadened, his vision cleared, his purpose ennobled.

Anderson, Head of Depart- ment of History, a scholar in his field. History Professor Ellis R. Colson, History Instructor, whose wide travels add interest to class discussions. To understand better present world conditions, social and political, one must understand the events of the past that have brought on these conditions. History studied under the excellent guidance of Professors Godfrey T. Anderson and Ellis R. Colson, becomes a living subject, giv- ing a background for the student to ac- guire more knowledge and culture for building his own future. The story of men ' s lives and how their actions have affected the welfare of a nation or of the world is, in the last analy- sis, history. And how one profits by the mistakes or wisdom of these men is the real test of the benefit of the study of history. Professor George L. Caviness, Head of Department of Foreign Languages. Foreign Languages Through language we express all that there is to humanity. We owe all our knowledge and culture to the study and use of languages. The study of Greek goes back to an- cient civilization. Since the New Testament was written first in Greek, one who is really interested in the study of the Bible will find that a thorough knowledge of this language is of incalculable value in fully understanding the meaning of the Word. The study of modern languages is highly desirable for students in our schools who are preparing for foreign mission service. At the same time that a student is learning a foreign language, he is strengthening his own native tongue, and becoming more cosmopolitan through the study of other people, their customs, and languages. Art Miss Theodora Stearns explains a color chart to her class. Art, in the not-too-distant past, was considered mostly as an expression of beauty and emotion only to be looked at and admired. In this day, besides being ornamental, it has developed into an im- portant factor in the business world. Al- most all commercial advertising in maga- zines, newspapers, and on outdoor and indoor posters, relies on the art of the commercial artist for getting the seller ' s idea across to the public. Miss Theodora Stearns trains the students in the special requirements for this field, such as color harmony, sense of line, balance and pro- portion. Sketching, portrait drawing and etch- ing are also taught to the students pos- sessing interest and ability along these lines, and their talents are carefully de- veloped. Miss Madge Gould, cheeriul Head of Department oi Music. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever. Keats surely must have been thinking of music when he wrote that immortal line, just as Wordsworth was when he said, The music in my heart I bore long after it was heard no more. The Music Department of the college provides special training in acguiring a taste for the finer things of life. Music can enrich a life, refresh a spirit and ennoble the thoughts of a person. The deep inter- est taken in the activities of this depart- ment is evidence that music hath charms. Through glee clubs, orchestra, band, church choir, chorus, and solo work, much splendid music has been provided for religious services, entertainments, ly- ceum courses, clubs, and churches in the vicinity of the college.

G. Sevrens. Principal of South Lancaster Academy Our Heritage This year 1942 is the Sixtieth Anniversary of the founding of South Lancaster Academy. To be graduated from this school this year is a great honor and a great responsibility. Sixty years is a long time. Only a few are still living who were present at the opening session. Perhaps none of those instrumental in establishing the school are still with us today. We pause a moment to honor the memory of Elder S. N. Haskell and others who labored faithfully and well that there might be a school for the young people of New England. We are grateful for their foresight and their faith that led them to make a beginning. Following the nineteen students who were present on that opening day, April 19, 1882, in the little carriage shop-chapel-school-house, what a great host of young men and women have passed through the doors of this institution! What a glorious heritage is ours today sixty years later. It has been our privilege to be here and partake of the fruits of the labor of those who have gone before us. By earnest God-fearing men and women the seed was planted and tenderly cared for, and now it has grown up to be a sturdy school. Because they did their work well we enjoy these blessings today. What an honor is ours to be following in the footsteps of the illustrious men and women who have gone this way before us! What a great responsibility is ours to see that we uphold the traditions and high ideals that have been passed on to us. How important that these ideals and standards shall not only suffer no impairment at our hands but rather that they shall be lifted higher and higher. During the sixty years of the life of this school there has been no time when the world has been in such distress as now. There has been no time when time-tested and established ideals have been in greater danger of being swept away. There has been no time when young people need more earnestly to hold to the truths that have been delivered to us by those who built so well in the past. The burden of finishing the work will fall upon young people. We must be ready with steadfast purpose and determination to stand by the ideals of the old school. To this class being graduated sixty years after the founding of the school we would say, Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left. Albert E.

Roberts Stamford, Connecticut Senior Close-Ups by Lucille Newton Dignified Seniors! That ' s the phrase so often applied to the members of the graduating class. But look a little closer and you ' ll see they ' re not so sedate and dull as they would seem. Indeed, they are very interesting and carry on quite a variety of activities. Take Al Barcelou for instance, president of the class. Can ' t you just imagine him, covered with grease, poking around at a balky engine? Or beating the bass drum in the Academy band, and wearing one of those smiles which seem to take him any- where, anytime? There ' s Margaret Youngberg, too. Just to see her playing her clarinet in the Sab- bath School orchestra one would never thi lk that she once lived in India or that she spent last summer as a colporteur in Texas. Delbert Longway, there beside her with his clarinet, comes from China. Talking about distances — Nevada Bidwell, a practical nurse, comes from South Carolina and Lula Manuel from Newfoundland. Pansy Welch, known as Pat, collects photographs, and so does Laura Rob- erts. Luella Dudley is very domestic, and Gertrude Cotton is missionary-minded. She plans to be a nurse; but Doris Shampo leans toward athletics. Joanne Colligan likes to go bicycle riding while Damaris Smith, Midge more often, would rather do her rid- ing on the back of a horse, but Ruby Hutchinson prefers to drive a car. Incidentally, she plays the violin. Edith Keane, who happens to wear the smallest dress in the class, a size nine, plans to be a medical missionary — and a musical one, at that. Arlene Wendell, class salutatorian, has ambitions to be a secretary. Walter Gerald, treasurer of the class, aims to pursue a course in motor mechanics. Edwin Hutchinson, also mechanically minded, likes to pull engines apart, but the vice-president of our class, Madeline Kenerson, says she likes to cut up animals and watch operations. She is going to be a nurse, and we know she ' ll make a good one, too. Bernice Smith makes many of her own clothes. Elva Arlin also likes to sew. Wanda Mason wends her way to the Miles ' Bindery every afternoon. She believes the old adage all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Jeanette Colby would rather practice — or would she? Well, anyway, she plays the piano well. Elmer Miles is very enthusiastic about photography, especially color photog- raphy. Perhaps you will be interested to know that Shirley Moore plans to study diet- etics at Loma Linda, California, and that Russell Sumner is in the Medical Cadet Corps. In Edythe Ballem, the youngest member of the class, we have another talented member. Not only is she musical, but she is poetical too. Edythe has written the words to the senior class song, and compos ed both the words and the music to the girls ' club song. V for Victory! That ' s the class secretary. Well, at least the V is a nickname for Valeda Simons, who has musical aspirations. She plays the violin well. Theda Hen- derson likes to play the accordian and to draw, while her brother, Maynard, collects rocks and minerals. We wonder if he might not someday be a mining engineer! Lu- cille Newton, our valedictorian, likes music, cats, and flowers — most anything that ' s pretty. Should we say the Seniors are dignified and dull, or that Variety is the spice of life ?

Purdon, Instructor in History and Mathematics Seminar One of the prominent activities among our academy pupils is the Seminar, a bimonthly event, for which a student committee arranges programs and takes charge of the chapel hour. The programs, usually religious in character, are opened with Scripture reading and prayer and consist of short talks, supposed to be presented without notes. One of the officers is the Critic who, at the close of each session, reports the prominent features of each number, good or bad. Poor English, mispronounced words and any other flagrant errors as well as the commendable points are noted. The Seminar, which has been conducted for several years, has abundantly proved its value in developing leadership, poise and ability to appear before an audience; and former Academy students now in College often visit the programs and express their appreciation of their experience in the Seminar.

James, Instructor in Bible Sabbath School In the words of S. L. A ' s beloved principal, Professor Sevrens, The Academy Sabbath School is one of the bright spots in the week ' s program. This is made so by the cooperation of its faithful members as well as by the earn- est efforts of the officers and students taking part in weekly programs, and the academy orchestra which has done much to add life and beauty to the musical program. The goal device has given special impetus to the effort of the classes as they are graded A, B, C, or D according to the number of goals reached each week. On some Sabbaths prac- tically all classes have received A ' s as they have reached their attendance, daily lesson study, and offering goals. Students and faculty alike recognize the opportunities in the Sabbath School for devel- oping leadership and the ability to perform in public. An effort is made to help the mem- bers love the Sabbath School because they feel that they are a vital part of the Sabbath School and because they feel the Sabbath School belongs to them.

Because so many fine young people wish to spend some of their leisure hours during the long summer vacation in pursuing studies of their choice, for which they will receive full credit when returning to school in the fall. Some students, by making wise use of their summer vacations, are able to go through college in three years. The Home Study Institute offers a large variety of college and high school courses. This work is accepted at full value in our own educational institutions, and in a number of others. Tuition may be paid in easy install- ments. Tell us of your needs at once, and let us help you get started. Our catalog is yours for the asking. HOME STUDY INSTITUTE Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
