-l- THE BEACCN --1- CLASS PROPHECY fffontinuerl from page 47j the chairs. She bore little evidence of her recent imprisonment for speeding. But the most novel sight of all was to watch Sigrid Anderson, distinguished Swedish minister, make her flyirig trips to the moon and Mars on a sky-rocket to address her Swedish congregations on the subject, Race Prejudice Is Being Down on What You're Not Up On. Suddenly a great mass of brilliant, rose-colored clouds drifted across the stage, blotting out the stage and all the players and I saw before me again the cloudy, billowy figure of the spokesman. What do all these pink clouds signify? I asked him as I observed that they still hovered about the place where my class- mates had been. Oh, he said, that simply means that the outlook for the entire class is a rosy one, and he, too, disappeared. Then one of the rosy clouds which had been drawing nearer and nearer to me all the time gave me a mighty push and over I went - off my fleecy bank of clouds and down, down, down through the sky, getting here just in time to get this into the Beacon! Y f f 4 VOICES OP THE PAST More than a century ago, in a little valley in France, there came to a little girl the calling of strange voices. Today there stands in Paris, the capital city. a statue of .Ioan of Arc, who has won the admiration and love of the World through following those voices. . To the Soul of Man God sends, in His own way and time, strange voices. We, who are the student, body of the Baptist Missionary Training School of today and the missionaries of tomorrow, have listened to our voices and are seeking to follow. Therefore, it is Htting that one day of the year we should pause to honor those who throughout the fifty years of our school's existence have seen the Vision and made it possible for us to follow. On Feb. 3, 1931, all the students of the Baptist Missionary Training School were up for breakfast. It was Founders' Day. New dresses were in evidence in the hallways and hair was hurriedly being dried by the student parlor fire- place. However, at the call of the chapel bell all was quiet, as students, teachers, alumnae and guests gathered to honor those who had built, first in their dreams and then in brick, this school, Echoes from fields of service, as our alumnae told of friends and experiences and history of the growth of the school, gave new inspiration to those whose duty it is to carry on. A luncheon together, affording an opportunity for visits and reminiscences was followed by a portrayal of the life of our school today. Fifty years of service were presented by living pictures on the pages of the family album. Our Training School Board and President gave adequate glimpses of the past while the daily life of the school of the present, social, educational and devotional, was presented in living pictures by groups of students. The kindergarten per- formed as a picture of field work much to the enjoyment of the audience. A beautiful story of the birth and purpose of the B. M. T. S. prayer room com- pleted the program. Thus the heavy velvet corners of the album closed upon' fifty years of a glorious past made possible by those who listened to their voices. L J 48
