BETHEL COLLEGE HISTORY OF BETHEL. Any institution, founded upon a proper basis and promoted by true motives cn the part of tliose connected with it, can perform its -lunctions completely and will eventually attain to that plane of perfec ion where it can stand alone and cope with its equals. This we can proudly say of Bethel College. Early in the 70 ' s large numbers of Mennonites poured into Kansas from other states in the Union and from Europe. When once permanently located, they soon realized the vast importance of an ed-icational institution among their people. Immediately steps were taken to promote the establishment of such an institution. Its inimejiate purpose should be to prepare teachers for parochial schools and district schools, ministers and missionaries, and to develop true Christian characters in all who go out from the school into the various y alks of life. A school was opened temporarily at Alexanderwohl in 1882, but a demand for more room and a very favorable proposition made by Halstead, caused the school to be removed to that place in J 883. In 1887 a project was started to locate the school permanently at Newton. The city subscribed f20,000 in cash, donated many city lots, and a fcrty pcre tract north of the city. The project was submitted to the Kansas Conference which declined to accept the offer, but in turn submitted the proposition to an association. This association was organized for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a Menuonite school at Newton. It took hold of this important enterprise with enthusiasm, incorporated, and at once began to raise the necessary funds. The difficulties and obstacles with which they met were neither trifling nor few. Yet the untiring efforts of this associa- tion were crowned with success and cn Oct. 12, 1888, midst hopes and prayers, the corner stone of our stately edifice, Bethel College, was laid. Indeed, there were those who predicted that such an institution could end only in total failure. But on the other hand there were such who faithfully hoped and believed that such an institution would be a success, and prove to be a blessing to the Mennonite people. The hopes of the latter were largely realized when on Sept. 20, 1893. this grand institution was dedicated to its noble cause; it opened its halls and bade welcome to any who would enroll. The number of students the first year was comparatively, small. The courses offered included work as lew as the sixth grade with little above the Academy. The faculty consisted of no more than five members and the number of students did not reach the one hundred mark. Slowly but steadily the school has grown, until this year no less than one hundred seventy students have enrolled. The corps of instructors consists of twelve members and it has been agreed that four additional members be added for the year 1911-12. As time passed on, the lower branches were eliminated and more advanced were added. With this progress made. Bethel College can, with all honors, confer upon her pioneer seniors the Baccalaureate degree in the spring of 1912. DAVID GOERZ. Rev. David Goerz came to America in 1872 and first made his lionie at Halstead, in Harvey Co., Kansas. Since lie has always been a strong advocate of education, he early became identified with the school which was established at Halstead. Upon the discontinuance of that school, he at once became the chief promoter of the school at Newton. It was largely through his unceasing labor and untiring perseverance that Bethel College became a possibility. The large sum of money necessary for this great enterprise was collected almost exclusively by him. From the beginning of the school he assumed the duties of business manager and in this capacity he has served with greatest devotion and self sacrifice. His utmost desire has been to bring Bethel up to the required standard of a College and to this end he labored incessantly. In the fall of 1909 he suffered a nervous breakdown from overwork and it became evident that a recreation was absolutely necessary. Consequently, he, with Mrs. Goerz, took an extended tour to the Orient. Upon their return, although much recuperated, Mr. Goerz was forced to give up all mental work, much to his disappointment, and go west for his health. In the fall of 1910, after nearly twenty years of faithful services, he resigned his position as business manager of the College, causing a vacancy very keenly felt by the corporation. Besides his work connected with the school. Rev. Goerz has also been a very prom- inent leader in church affairs. He has devoted much time and energy to the spiritual as well as the intellectual welfare of the Mennonite people. At present he is at home in Upland, California. BOARD OF DIRECTORS Rev. Abr.

None whatever. We can only honor and revere a man so efficient. An honest president, a pious minister, and a skillful barber will ever remain the hero of the class of 1911. JOHN R. DUERKSEN Bitole Course Would you advise me to attend College next year? For a man so studious, so zealous for an education and possessing such fine talents, it would indeed be well; but, dear fellow, if you intend to take upon you such a load of Greek, Latin, Physics, and Chemics as you bore the past year; then we answer with one accord, No! EDITH HANTZ Normal Course Can I have my certificate renewed after two years ' teaching? Yes, you can; but in taking a perspective view of matters, we feel disposed to believe that, because of your winning disposition, you will by that time be fully qualified to secure a certificate of a somewhat different essence, and with a lifetime validity. HENRY T. UNRUH Normal Course My friends, what shall I do about that spring examination? For the time being, leave off from your worrying, refrain from your cramming, cheer up and let the Sunshine in your heart suffice you; adjust your myopia to hypermetropia and gain sight of the fact that the greatest fool may ask more ques- tions than the wisest man can answer. JOSEPH FOTH Bible Course Ho w can I best become instriim ontal in tlie solution of the great problems that con- frort our nation to lay? Do not cease to cherish that unwavering determination and that resolute will power which you manifested during the year of 1910-11. Neglect not to exercise that zeal and that dexterity of which you can already boast, and the world can use you. MILO H. NEUENSCHWAXDER Academic Course What characterizes a musician? It is said of them that they take a strong liking to astronomy, that they become high- ly effeminate, are exceedingly pompous in their attire, and have a peculiar tendency to disclose, in audible tones, their secrets MARY M. REGIER i jie asleep. Normal Course What proof have we that Bethel moulds an ideal character? Had you not attended Bethel, would yoii pos sess those virtues, that piety, that ade- quate learning, those noble ideals, that amiable disposition and sweet temperament which characterize an ideal woman? KRNEST L. HARMS Normal Course In what particular line of work do you think I shall excel? Considering your distinguishing character- istics such as your quick temper, your abom- inable mischief, your inventive genius, your congenial verbosity, and, last but not least, your long, lank, lean, but graceful form — we are loath to announce that we are at a loss to say. MARGARETHA JANTZEN Normal Course In what capacity could a girl like me serve best? A girl with such education, such sweet and cheerful disposition, blessed with such elegant features and rare talents, so good, so kind, and so true, would make an excel- lent school teacher. GUSTAV A. REIMEh Academic Course I low might I become famous? Try riding old Pegasus a while. Your being given to scientific thinking, your marked tendency to meditation on very in- tricate problems, and your strong affection for the romantic, will make that riding your hobby, and yon will ever asjiire to fame. KA.THERINE GAEDDEUT Normal Course What are your sentiments regarding wctran ' s suffrage? Having given the matter sufficient thought, we sre agreed that we talte the same stand that you so strongly advocate, namely, that the man he satisfied with con- ditirns as they now are, and as for woman — let her hold her peace. JOHN E. LINSCHEID Normal Course Whai ilo you think I am destined to be- come? Well, to be frank, we can not say more, but that, with your inexhaustible good nature; that saving grace — humor, under- standing, and perseverance, and with that poetic turn of mind; you may some day touch many a heart string by your charm- ing flow of thoughts. HENRY T. NEUFEIJ) Bible Course Would you advise me to take a course in elocution ? Certainly would. You will find it profit- able not only in your peaceful gossipings, but a man of your temperament will find it particularly expedient in your more heated discourses where distinct utterance and ac- robatic gestures play a very decided role. MARIE CLAASSBN Academic Course What course would you advise me to take in College? After some consideration we are unan- imously agreed that you take a course in Domestic Science. Why we suggest such a course may be a mystery to you now, but some day you will better understand ELIZABETH M. LOHRENZ Academic Course Can I demand credit for the correspond- ence course taken with K. U.? The matter will have to come before the Faculty. All manuscripts, sent and received, would have to be investigated. But in our estimation you do not need that credit. That efficiency in work, that loving disposi- tion, and that noble womanliness which characterized you at Bethel will suffice. DANIEL D. PENNER Academic Course Does the student have time for other than his school work? Taking you for an example, it would rath- er seem so. It is said of you, that you bach, but in connection, you devote the bulk of your time to photography, athletics, and mischief, being exceedingly expert in the last named art, which has been ascribed to your cunning and your short stature. LUELLA KREHBIEL Normal Course Do yon think I shall succeed as a school teacher? A teacher must be able to perform the duties of a father, a mother, a teacher, a preacher, a doctcr, a lawyer and a judge. No doubt, you can serve more Oi ' less in each capacity, therefore we feel satisfied that you will succeed. WII.LIAM S. GEISINGER Academic Course I have my goal set high; do you think I can ever attain it? Well, I do not just exactly know. If it depended wholly upon your enthusiasm, your shrewdness, your eloriuence and your learning; you would doubtless succeed — but, sir — in size and will power you are sadly handicapped. ALBERT P. HAGEN Academic Course Do you think that I shall be a success in- the Y. M. C. A. work? Considering your high ambition, your per- sistent intents, your genteel demeanor, and particularly that strong will power which prompted you to labor day and night in or- der to see your way through; you cannot, do else than succeed. GUSTAV DUNKELBERGER Music Would you advise tliat I specialize in Music? We assuredly do so advise you. Your be- ing reared in the rural districts, midst a conglomeration of the eternal cackle of fowls, the mournful bleating of calves, and the discordant squealing of pigs; has no doubt instilled into your veins such an affe ' - - tion fcr music which only such possess, that become expert in the ' n Isical world. CARRIE SCHMIDT Normal Course What school would you suggest that I at- tend next year? A good girl who should be at home a part of the time and help mother, can find no better school than Bethel. Here is where we, your fellow seniors, advise you to at- tend. .JACOB E. REGIER Academic Course How can the greed for wealth best be cured ? It is almost a hopeless case. The more man has, the more man wants, is old, very old; but true, very true. Yet, a well-con- trolled temper, careful study and a friendly attitude toward others are the beginnin ' s which eventually will lead one to an iil truistic life.

Langenwalter The future tense is quite an important factor in the life of an educational institution. A school trains men and women of a future generation; it gives the direction for the future development of society and it is compelled to prepare itself to meet the future needs and demands of those vi hcm it may yet influence for gocd. What is true of educational institutions in general is likewise true of Bethel College. This school is now training young men and young women who will soon take up a share of the various duties of life belonging to the generation about to receive the responsibilities now being borne by the present generation of those who are rendering valuable service for the good of society. Bethel College always has been and now is endeavoring to start young men and women in that direction of development which shall make them good citizens and Tielpful members of society in the generation in which they shall have an opportunity to serve. Our school is not unmindful of its oppor- tunity and its obligation to keep on serving. The service which this school has rendered within the last half generation is a credit to the men who had faith enough to face the obstacles and forge ahead because they saw the needs which to others seemed visionary. The school has never gotten away from its field by advancing too rapidly nor shall this be the case in the future. The fact that the school has •■created a demand for higher education is a credit to the institution and it seems but fair and proper that Bethel College should meet, as far as possible, the demands which have been created through the efforts made by those connected with the institution. This is the •aim for the future. In view of the fact that our people no longer confine themselves to agricultural pursuits as a means of livelihood but have begun to become members of almcst all professions it becomes the privilege and the duty of Bethel College, as well as other schools serving our people, to prepare to meet the new demands sure to follow. This means that we need not only a good Academy but also a College which shall prepare our young people thoroughly for their professional careers. Then, too, the original aim of the school, to train teachers, Sunday-school teachers, ministers and missionaries, is not to be neglected. This does not mean that it is the duty of Bethel College to establish, or even definitely plan, a complete seminary at this time. That is the work for the Mennonite denomination as a whole. The duty and the opportunity of Bethel College for the immediate future is to give every student enough thorough Bible training to make him a better member of society and a greater source of service to his church. In addition to this there should be sufficient Bible work to .give our prospective ministers and missionaries creditable advanced standing in the best seminaries of our country. The work so far indicated has been quite definitely planned for the immediate future and the step has been met with more encour- • agement than we dared to hope when first the plan was proposed. The needs are becoming so apparent and the opportunity is so great that our people are beginning to come to the front in regard to the question of higher education in a way which means success to the ilnstitutions which meet the needs. Such an institution Bethel College aims to be — no more and no less. 2. s Sc(: i ' yPn _ .L c £(r p ' J ;) ' dl ' l(i : , :_■? 4.

R. Riesen For many of onr young friends who will peruse the pages of this Annual, which is puhlished bv the Class of 1911 in order to spread their germs of enthusiasm for their alma mater among all peoples, the above question is identified with the broader one Why go to College? For others it may take the form of Why choose Bethel? The first question insists upon an answer from all ambitious young people today. It is no longer true, as it was in the days of the pioneers, that mere brawn is the greatest asset for the ' making of a man. ' This is above all an age of mental and spiritual domination. In every profession, agriculture as well as in education, business as well as in the ministry, the voung man who enters the field finds himself competing with college-bred men. Ours is a time of specially disciplined leaders, and we gladly welcome the day when brute force becomes subordinate to the ideal powers of man. To meet these requirements for admission to a successful career, the period of prepa- ration has been universally prolonged, the period of youth and school-life lengthened. It is the longings of the human soul for power and influence and a larger life that today demand the culture of a secondary and college education more universally than ever before in the history of the world. Why, among the many eilucational institutions of the land, your choice should be Bethel can also be briefly stated: 1. Bethel is the College of your community and is therefore in closer touch with your own particular needs than any other school. 2. Having less than 300 students, every one in Bethel College is brought into intimate association with the instructors and with his fellow students. The individual is not lost in the mass; the quick wheel of the small college life brings him his turn sooner, and if he is good for anything he will get a much greater variety of responsibility and training than he can hope for in the big institution If he wants to make the most of himself rather than shine by reflected glory, let him consider his opportunities in the small college. 3. Bethel is just now in a period of special exertions for development. The students here are catching this enthusiastic spirit of earnest aggressiveness and growth; a special factor which makes for strength and success in those who get their education here. 4. Bethel stands first of all for character. As a school under denominational control, it is recognized as preeminently a character- builder. Seventeen out of the eighteen college bred, recognized masters in American letters are from denominational colleges. Eighteen out of twenty-six Presidents of our country were college men; sixteen of the eighteen were from denominational colleges. Eight of the nine justices of the Supreme Court of the United States are college men; seven of the eight are from denominational colleges. After all, the kind of character you will be when you leave school to enter life ' s business in earnest depends preeminently upon the enthusiasm, the spirit, the ' set of mind, ' you have acquired in school rather than on mere outward polish. To give the students this ' set of mind ' which stands first and always for everything that is noble and true is the conscious aim and the atmosphere of the class-room and the general college life. 7 ■ f c ' ' • ' - ■ ' ■ Li Iff i-l f - ACADEMY SOPHOMORES CLASS OFFICERS President— S.

You can send any kind of a thing there just as a fellow takes grain to a mill, and the college will turn ■out of the raw material poured into the hopper either a man or a monkey. Some quite promising raw material has been sent to college and turned out monkeys, and some unlikely stuff has been made into men by the college process. One thing about the college product, however, is that it dees not foci the community. A boy comes home from college with his fingers stained from cigarettes, and wearing stylish clothes, and parting his hair in the middle as if a hay rake had run over him, and maybe wearing eyeglasses, and advising his father and mother to sell the farm and move into town; that is the monkey of the institution. He was a pretty good sort of a boy until he went to college. Now he is actually ashamed of his parents, and makes excuses to the fellow who comes home with him, and mopes around when his honest parents come near him as if they had leprosy. That ' s the monkey of humanity, only It is not justice to the monkeys in the cages to call him such. But then look at the man who comes home from college, a great big, hearty fellow. He went away somewhat awkward and gawky. He ' s polished now, all right, and gathers the old mother in his arms and he takes hold of his father ' s hand as though he meant it; and he sits down on the porch and lumps come up his throat as he advises them to stay on the old place a while longer until he can earn money enough to pay off the mortgage. He has seen the shams and the shoddies of the world, and he knows and appreciates the full, rounded life that can be lived on the farm. He is not ashamed of the brothers and sisters and kinfolks that come over to see how he is looking. He realizes that his parents have had to work hard that his helpful advantages at college represent the noble sacrilices of the parents for him while he was at school, and he resolves to repay them, and tells them so. His hands are tender, but he is in time for harvest, and he knows they will soon harden. He knows some Greek and Latin, but hands are needed in the fields, and he puts on his old clothes and goes to work. He doesn ' t expect always to do that kind of work, but that is no reason why he should not do it now. And, as he sees the forms of those who bore him a little more stooped than when he went away, and thinks of his own easy life at school, he resolves to hurry up and make something of himself and let those old folks see what they have in the way of a son before their «yes are any dimmer. That is the man the college makes out of some kind of raw material. — (Selected) o A.CADEMY FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS President— H. J. BECKER Secretary— HILDA van der SMISSEN Vice-President— A.

THE FRESHIE I v-M o: ' i ;f GROUP OF STUDENTS ' HOMES ' ' V ' LIBRARY THE LIBRARY The students of Bethel College may congratulate themselves for the splendid opportunities the College library offers. It is one of -the best equipped libraries offered by any college of the size of Bethel. The number of books is almost three thousaml now and books are constantly being added. It is, cf course, not only the numbers of books, but their quality which gives the library a high standard. These books have all been selected by able members of the faculty and bought from the library fund, a few at a time as they have been needed for reference work. The books are arranged according to their contents on separate shelves rn.l the student has •xiirect access to them. But it takes too much of the knowledge-seekers time to find in this way just the information he wants so it has been decided to go to the great expense and trouble of indexing the library. Then all references on any subject may be found without difficulty. Besides the books for reference work and for light reading, the newspapers and magazines form an important part of the library Dailies, German and English weeklies, and some of the best magazines are kept for the use of the students. A long table accommodates -these, and around this and the other two reading tables, the students love to gather. Whatever the student wishes to investigate, be it on problems of the day, or on religion, or science, cr politics be it general knowledge from encyclopedias, or source knowledge spiced with the individuality of the author, his demands may be satisfied Many are J;he new thoughts and ideas that here enter the student ' s mind.

KR] ]B1LL ' ' ' ' Motto: — We teautify the mind. The history of this society dates back but two years. However, its rchievenients in this brief period cf time have been great. ]ts members, who have all passed the frst blush of youth, have displayed rernarhahle activity for the v elfare cf this society. It has sometimes been said by people who have not done much thinking, that a society of this sort is a good match-factory ' — a lamentable piece of humor—; true as this statement may be in otlrer cr.ses, this society hcwever, is composed of men only, —men of the Academic department. It is useless to state that of the four dozen members of this society, forty-eight are geniuses with ideals fully in accordance with the purpose of the society, namely, to improve intellectual and social interests. Of the various interests shown in this society, the interest in debate has perhaps been the most intense. Its members have been bold enough to attack the College men and have challenged several Academies outside. By its high ideals, fresh and vi orcus efforts, everything to gain and nothing to lose, this society has unquestionably proven its right to a place in the sphere of literary societies. Closely connected with this society is the Parliamentary Law Club. It meets every third Friday. Its aim is to give practice in the lawful proceedings of all meetings. Very active work was done by the club in the past year. Victory belongs to the most persevering. SCENE ALONG STUDENTS ' HOMES STUDENT VOLUNTEER BAND M. M. I ehman, Susanna Quiring. J. R.

There must be a blessing to join hands with the great movement ai:d take hold cf its motto: The Evangelization of the World in This Generation. BIBLE AND MISSION STUDY The Bethel students cf lPKt-11 showed great interest for Bible and Mission Study. A number of classes were arranged for and a leader appointed for each class. The number of ycung men and women engaged in this work was about equal. Nearly sixty per cent of these young men entered Mission Study classes, while over eighty per cent of the young women preferred Bible Study. Meetings were held once each week in the students ' rooms, at an hour most suitable to the members of the respective classes. Several classes found the hour of six in the morning to be an excellent time for such meetings. During the past year there were eight Bible Study classes with about seventy members. Several classes used text books with outlines, and the Bible. Others studied either the Sunday-school Lessons or entire chapters or books of the Bible itself. Through this work many students have gained a better knowledge of and a greater hunger for the Word of God. The four Mission Study classes contained about forty members. Different text books were used by the several classes, some classes using two text books during the year. The lives of great missionaries, the needs and possibilities of certain foreign fields, and ■of the home land, were studied. These classes help much to increase the interest, among the students for missionary work. THE HOMILETICS CLASS „ , XT -D T ofor-o A T ReKier, M. M. Lehman, THE BIBLICAL DEPARTMENT Just as most colleges have primarily been founded for the purpose of propagating Christianity, through the training of the youth in the fundamentals of the Bible, so Bethel College has, with this in view, endeavored to become a center of religious influence. Its scope, therefore, is to equip the students for the duties of life which may fall upon them in the church, Sunday-school, private schools, or in whatever sphere they may work. With the intellectual training the spiritual must go hand in hand, for Education and Christianity are sisters. By laying special stress on this feature of the school, the college helps the church, and the church in turn helps the college. Most of the work is carried on in the German language. The increasing interest taken in this line of work by the general student body is encouraging, and the wholesome effect upon the spirit of the school may deeply be felt. Of special importance for our people is the Christian Ethics, the fundamental principles of Christian doctrine and the evidences of Christian religion as taught in the course. Through such Christian instruction the College fulfills its mission to the world and to God by developing character, and sending out men and women with greater ideals of life, and better equipped to serve humanity. THE BIBLE This Book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of Salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Study it because its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to he wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler ' s map, the pilgrim ' s staff, the pilot ' s compass, the soldier ' s sword, and the Chri stian ' s charter. Here paradise is restored, heaven opened and the gates of hell closed. Christ is its grand object, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened in the judgment, and will be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its contents. — (Selected) THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY Pres.— I. J. DICK Sec— SARA BALZER Treas.— P. J. BQEHR To a college are entrusted the intellectual, ethical, and the spiritual interests of the students. It is evident that an education without these interests is incomplete. A Christian college is but another name for opportunity to the youth in their development of character. Besides other organizations for intellectual training, the C. E. Society was organized in 1894, beginning with 28 members. Today it is an indispensible factor in the influence of our school. Opportunities are offered to all students to prepare themes on religious topics that are of interest and of practical importance at the present time. Often the students are favored by a special address by a visitor or a member of the faculty. The meetings are held in the chapel, every other Sunday afternoon with good attendance. Occasional collections are taken for benevolent purposes as is decided by the society. Consecration meetings are held twice each) school year, at which all members are at liberty to participate. Through such intimate Christian association the College fosters an intelligent and strong Christian faith, gives openess of mind and heart, and thus promotes sympathy for the co-operation with all C hristian movements, preparing the way for Christ and his Kingdom, putting in effect its motto, For Christ and the Church. WHY DO WE WORRY? Wliy do we worry about the nest? We only stay for a day; Or a month or a year at the Lord ' s behest. In this habitat of clay. Why do we worry about the years That our feet hiave not yet trod? Who labors with courage and trusts no fears. Has fellowship with God. Why do we worry about the road. With its hills or deep ravine?

UNRUH This union, an organization still in its infancy, is destined to become a most potent feature in our school. It was organized in the winter of 1910-11 with the usual purpose of such organizations; namely, to broaden and develop the mind and give drill in readiness and fluency of speech. Its work is conducted chiefly in the form of contests in the different lines of literary work. Contests are held b oth at home and with other schools. The past year a debating contest took place between Cooper Academy (Sterling) and our Academy. Local contests were held in oratory, essay, (German and English) and music. The interest taken in this work both by the students and visitors shows that much can be expected from such an organization. THE LANGUAGES That a special study of both classical and modern languages is indispensable in a thorough education was early realized by the school. Of the several languages taught, German has been allotted the most attention. Many classes both in the Academy and the College are conducted exclusively in the German. The Biblical work is all given in the German with the exception of Homiletics and English Bible. Our library contains approximately 1200 German volumes, and a large number of papers and periodicals. The various religious organizations are either wholly or partly conducted in German. The morning and evening devotional exercises are held alternately in the German and English, while the Christian Endeavor and the Sunday services are in German. About 9.5 per cent of the entire student body can speak the German freely; this makes it, as well as the English, the conversational language on the campus. Although much stress is being placed on the German, the Eng- lish has not been neglected. At present, four years of academy and two years of college English are given. The library contains some 1500 English volumes, several dailies, and a score of magazines. In Latin four years ' work in the Academy is given and two years ' in the College. In Greek three years ' work is given and in French two years ' work. . MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY This department is maintaining a high standard of efficiency under the able direction of its head, Prof. D. H. Richert. The Acad- emy courses are fully equal to every requirement and the College Mathematics is extensive enough to meet the requirements of any liberal arts course. The course in Astronomy belongs to this department because its main prerequisite is an extensive knowledge of mathematics. There is no phase of nature study which brings one in closer touch with the infinite than Astronomy. Before the vision of the student a vast universe unfolds itself which it is impossible for the human mind to comprehend. Such a course is therefore considered an essential part of a liberal education. DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Music is the language of the soul. It is the medium through which the Divine is interpreted to man. Through the study of music the student learns to love and appreciate the refined and the beautiful in nature. Therefore it can well be said that a knowledge of music is fast becoming an essential in a well-rounded education. The Department cf Music has come to be one of the strongest in our school. It is under the direct supervision of. the Dean, Prof. D. A. Hirschler. Mr. Hirschler has proven to be an expert in his line of work and to him the prosperity and the successes of this depart- ment are largely due. The enrollment for the year 1910-11 was approximately 113. Courses are offered in piano and Theory, a teacher ' s diploma being given upon the completion of a course. Besides this, instruc- tion is also given on the excellent, two-manual, thirty-eight register pipe organ which the department fortunately possesses. Miss Helen Hoisington has charge of the Vocal Training and the Ladies ' Glee Club. The excellent results accomplished give sufficient proof of Miss Hoisington ' s ability as an instructor in this work. In the past year instruction has also been given on the violin by Prof. Ryan of Newton. Mr. Ryan is director of the Newton Band and is an accomplished violinist. THE LADIES ' GLEE CLUB The big feature of this department, however, is the Oratorio Chorus directed by Prof. Hirschler. Some of the most difficult oratorios have been studied and mastered. In the past year, two worlds, The Seven Last Words of Christ by Dubois, and Judas Maccabaeus by Handel were prepared. The first was given on Dec. 21 while the second will be given in Commencement week. The chorus consists of 135 voices with some of the best soloists obtainable. Mr. Milo Neuenschwander plays the accompaniment on the pipe organ and Miss Susie Haury on the piano. Among some of the more difficult oratorios rendered during the past seasons are the Messiah, Elijah, Stabat Mater, St. Paul, Eli, ' Crusaders and Hiawatha ' s Wedding Feast. 7 - ■ ' A-e 3 ' ' ' ej jT i ' za hs ' i S:c ' Ar 7 d )L -, E.

ART ROOM Under the able direction of Miss Elizabeth Wirkler this department is maintaining its high standard. Miss Wirkler ' s training is exceptional and those students who enrolled in this department the past year feel that they have profited much. As drawing is the fundamental of all art, special attention is given to that work. An elementary course of two periods a week during the whole year is given as a part of the regular courses. Adequate courses are offered in Freehand Drawing, Painting, Pyrography, and Perspective and Geometrical Drawing. DEPARTMENT OF ELOCUTION Eloquence is a painting of thought — Pascal This department has been in charge of Miss Alice Martin for several years. The purpose of this department is to get the student to realize his possibilities and to develop his individuality. Furthermore, it is to enable the timid stuilent to appear before an audience unembarrassed and express freely and distinctly. Special attention is given to articulation, pronunciation, enunciation and expression. In connection with this work a course is also given in physical culture. It is believed that the principle set forth by the Greeks in the days of old should receive considerable recognition. This is the object of this course. Drilling with Indian clubs and dumb bells is a strong feature of this department. ATHLET[CS athletics have taken an important, though not an all Important, pace in the school life at Bethel. The authorities in endeavoring to give to every phase of legitimate student activity its rightful share, have not overlooked the physical side. Athletic competition has been recognized as being the best stimulant to interest in physical training and also having a distinct value of its own, in teaching those lessons of self-control and quickness of thought which nowhere else can be learned so well. Within the school there are class and school games, which gives practically every young man the chance to test his ability, and a healthy spirit of rivalry has grown up among the various groups and classes. The athletics of the school are under the direct supervision of the Faculty and are controlled by an athletic organization consisting of Faculty and student body. Prof. Riesen has been appointed by the Faculty to look after the inrerests of athletics and was elected by the Athletic Association as its president. All students are urged on entering the school to undergo a physical examination in order to detect their several weaknesses and particular needs, before they are turned over to the physical director. Ballou P. Heigele, the physical director of the city Y. M. C. A. who is connected with the school, has charge of all field sports including contests among the various groups in relay races, high and broad jumping, discus throwing, and putting the shot, besides various other athletic contests. The base ball team and the basket ball team are controlled by the Athletic Association. They elect their own captains who have charge of their respective teams on the floor and in the field. The basket ball team played a number of games with city teams and the base ball team plays a series of games with the Newton High School team. The great game at the College has always been tennis. A large number of tennis clubs have been organized during the year, which, together with various class teams, will take part in the annual tennis tournament for the championship pennant. This tournament takes place near the end of each school year. ..-r- BASE BALL TEAM -j. . . 7 f. n ' FftJ.-O: Capt.)

A LETTER ■ , Quibblefield, Querieland, June 1, 1926. Mr. Inqui Z. Tive. My Dear Friend: , , -j-u After a lapse of fifteen years since tiiat first day of June, 1911, wlien tliose twenty-two young men and women launched witb hopeful hearts out into life ' s voyage each to play his part upon the world ' s great stage, you will no doubt wonder, as you oft have wondered how the world has fared with them. I shall therefore consider it a great honor to give you— although in a nut shell— the accomplishments of each and shall request you to kindly give free play to your imagination and supplement as much as you deem desirable to suit your taste. „ . , . , It is my great pleasure to write you first of that very conservative personage of the class, Gustav A. Reimer. Followmg his grad- uation at Bethel he ventured to conduct a cooking school on the Campus. He succeeded exceedingly well and all went well until one quiet evening the calm was broken bv the explosion of the gasoline stove. Gus was gracefully lifted upward, and his very brief sojourn m the air created within him such a craze that he wished more. Being as you well remember, a very ingenious fellow, he at once proceeded to construct an airship. While out demonstrating with it one afternoon he was caught in a storm and carried west into the foot hills of the Rockies. There he bade farewell to the ship and the storm and went to Salt Lake City. Here he invented a little salt making machine, and, it proving to be a success, he hurriedly made another airship and toured the country from the east to the west selling his salt machines. At this work he made his fortune and retired to a life of ease. At present, however, he is professor of Organic Chemistry m Jenkins College, Mt. Pleasant, Utah. A letter received not long ago tells me that while our good friend Gus Reimer was one day exploring the heavens with his new fandango triplane, he perchanced to pass over the city of Wichita. Strains of sweet music borne on the breezes here caught his ear. Charmed, as it were, by this lovely melody he alighted and upon inquiry was directed to the large Forum from whence the music came. Not a little was he surprised to find his fellow senior, Gus Dunkelberger, producing this piece of art on a .$100,000 pipe organ. After the two Gusses had exchanged greetings, the Gus of music explained to the Gus of the skies that he had completed a special music course in Italy in 1916. Upon his return he traveled with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for five years. Ever since that time he has been at the head of the School of Music which he established at Wichita, and has his year an enrollment cf 400 students. Upon his return he traveled with the Chicago Symphony Orchestrafor five years. Ever since that time he had been at the head of the School of Music, which he established at Wichita, and has this year an enrollment of 400 students. When Reimer was in Chicago not long ago getting a model for his sky skimmer he noticed a fellow with heavy black moustache and a tall stove pipe hp_t who seemed to attract considerable attention. Upon his inquiry as to the personality of this being, he was told that the gentleman was A. P. Hagen, chief secretary of the Chicago Y. M. C. A. ' s. Now Hagen graduated from K. U. in 1916, returned to Newton and was hack driver for Welsh. As a most liberal compensation, he received of the owner, a daughter. Having won fame as a booster in the Y. M. C. A- work he received a call to act as assistant secretary in Chicago but was soon after promoted to his present position. . I must now tell you about that one odd character in the class— J. E. Linscheid. No doubt you have always thought of him with pity. Well, his parents sent him back to Bethel the year after graduation and he remained there three years. It is said that during those years he had the swell head so bad that all cads were in constant fear of an explosion. In 1914 he finished college making his major, methods and management. The two years following he taught at Arlington but his physical— and perhaps mental— health failing, he went to work on his father ' s farm. Here, however, he proved to be a dead beat. Horses and mules would not respect him. Discouraged at this he packed up and went south. There he is at present doing educational work among the negroes, and in connection, is publisher of a Journal. Speaking of J. E. ' s, I am reminded of J. E. Regier, who has always a very intimate friend of J. E. Linscheid. Just recently I read quite a sketch of Regier in a Chicago paper. I recall that he entered a medical school the year following his Bethel graduation and recived his M. D. in 1917. Having then, as always, much money he erected a large, well equipped hospital at Hesston, Kansas, and made verv elaborate preparations to begin a Medical School at the same place. Very suddenly, however, he quit all, got married, and went into business. It was said that his girl absolutely refused to marry him unless he became a business man— and he did not hesitate to submit. He is now president of large chewing gum factory in Chicago. Regier ' s hospital calls to my mind Marie Claassen who was for some time a nurse. This work she tried the three years following Bethel, but it did not at all appeal to her. Consequently she gave up, and, having an eye for these new truck patch hats, she opened a hat factory in Beatrice, Nebraska. She was up-to-date in fashions and the styles she put out soon became quite a fad. The Mary Claassen hats took the place of the Merrv Widow hats and could be seen walking with women most everywhere throughout the Central States. But this work also became tedious and to her greatest joy, a certain young doctor came and married her with her whole- hat factory. The hats, the doctor sold off at less than cost, but Mary he took with him to Saskatoon, Sask., Canada, where they now reside. Unless you have not been reading the leading magazines the last ten years, I would hardly think it necessary to write you of this next fellow— Joseph Foth. But its rather amusing. In 1912 1 passed through and happened to stop at Gotebo. Going down the street I looke.l in at the open door of a blacksmith shop and to my utter amazement, I there saw Joe with black face and sweaty brow shoeing a. harmless old mule. But he gave up blacksmithing and in 1914-15 he was running a little peanut stand at Bethel, selling peanuts, ice cream and pie to students. Desiring a change, he became drummer for the International Aviator Co. Not satisfied with this either, he bought a drug store at Cordell, Okla. However, the accuracv required in filling prescriptions was too strenuous for Joe ' s nerves, so he sold out, got married.andbecame interested in politics. In 1918 he was elected to Congress on the Socialist ticket and has since become leader of the Minority party in the Senate. The desperate fight he made for government ownership of railroads, has honorably won for him the name, Joe Cannon. . , . ■ Joe having married a girl of the same name, I naturallv write of Carrie Schmidt next. A letter from a friend tells me that Came returned to Bethel the vear after graduation and finished the course in music. In 1916 she moved with her parents to California and there she has become verv active as a teacher of music. She is also director of an Oratorio composed of 150 voices and her success is established. She is still at home with her mother but is taking very keen interest in a large bungalow which is being erected near her home. It is expected that something will soon come to pass. Not long ago I met a friend who gave me quite an account of John R. Duerksen. John took the agency for stereoscopes tor the summer of 1911 However not receiving the respect which he thought was due him and greeted only by dogs upon entering a yard, he quit this business and .lecided to do something better. He purchased a threshing outfit from Sears Roebuck Co. It was a splendid outfit He threshed the wheat for the whole Alexanderwohl that vear and made enough money to attend school. He went to Brooklyn and did two vears preparatorv work for the mission. Upon his return he took a friend of his from Alexanderwohl and together they departed for their field in India. Thev took with them, Elizabeth Lohrenz, who had prepared for similar work. There John has been for ten years, doing most remarkable work. He and his wife have now come home on a furlough, bringing Elizabeth with them. Of course I must speak of Elizabeth next. She slept twelve hours out of every twenty-four the first week following Commencement. Then the week following she and Mary M. got pretty gay and, without many preparations, they departed for their graduating trip to the Alps After one vear ' s sojourn there, thev returned and Lizzie then felt that she ' d better get busy at something. So she left at once to take ' a two vears ' training course in the ' Beatrice hospital. After that, she finished a four years ' Medical course in Wisconsin, receiving her M D She then came home and began to make preparations for her leave to India with Duerksen ' s which soon followed. There she- has accomplished wonders. She has opened a school for orphans and is known near and far as a most able missionary, teacher and phvsician in the country. _ , t, c o .o. In speaking of Lizzie, I would naturally speak next of her constant chum— Mary Regier. Upon her return from the Alps she engaged her home school and taught two years. Then she returned to Bethel and took a course in music and art She was here two years during which time she also was tutor in Physics. The second year she was here, she made the graduating dresses for all the senior girls as well as one dress for herself, prospects permitting. She was at home but a few months after that and there came that happy day A young dark haired minister who was now carrying his R. M. in his hand but ha.l for years carried his M. M. in his heart came and took her to her new home in Versailles, Mo. I must now write you of one who has no doubt occupied your thoughts for hours at a time and of whom vou have perhaps often had visions m your .Ireams— Henry T. Unruh. This brave soul has so far played his role in the world most heroically. The first great stunt he pulled off was the passing of that spring examination. He received his state certificate and taught the two ' years following After that, he went to Kansas City and entered a Law school. Two years later he finished, was admitted to the bar and became a most efficient lawyer. Being once engaged to make a plea in defence of a chicken thief, he felt that he could not conscientiously do so Consequently he pretended to be seriously ill on the day of the trial. He quit the business the next dav and opened a notary office But he soon decided that his calling was a higher one, so he went east and entered the Seminary at Princeton. Four years later the D D degree was conferred upon him. He then accepted the call to the pastorate of the Mennonite church at Berne, Ind. ' While here he also began writing. His first work, A Decided Vacation distinguished him as one of the leading modern writers. However, his health failed so he left for an extended trip to Europe. Upon his return he decided to live more content, so he bade farewell to popularity, packed his goods and moved back to the old farm in Alexanderwohl. Here he was married last year to his former love and is now living a haoDV and hale old farmer. Another fellow perhaps as prominent as Unruh is Ernest L. Harms. Harms, after the Commencement, went to Oklahoma wiiere he spent some time exploring the mammotll caves and shooting bats. The year following he taught school near his home and was also Justice of the Peace for a time. In 1916 he attended the X. E. A. in Los Angeles, and there delivered before an audience of nearly 5000 people, his famous lecture, The Need of Hospitals. The year following, he taught music, but being unsuccessful, he gave up and entered Columbia University. After his graduation from that school, he became interested in politics, being first a Socialist and later a Know Nothing. He early announced his candidacy for the newly created office, Regent of Ladies Fashions on the Know Nothing ticket. His platform was Womans Suffrage and it was this no doubt that accounted for his unanimous election. During the time he was in office he made four trips to Paris and one to London. If you should meet him now, I doubt whether you would recognize him. He has brought his weight up to nearly three hundred pounds and wears a heavy beard. At present he is teaching in the government schools in Montana. Of Katherine Gaeddert it is very probable that a number of you have heard. In 1914 she left for Oberlin and took a two years ' course there in voice culture, spending much time the second year in studying the principles of Woman ' s Suffrage. While there she ' made an acquaintance with a young professor who took it pretty serious when she left. She then traveled with a St. Louis Concert Co., coming as far west as Goessel, Kansas. In 1918 Maude Ballington Booth heard her sing in Philadelphia and, being struck by the sweetness of Kate ' s voice, begged her to assist in the prison work. This Kate gladlv did. She accomplished much with her sweet songs and the last three years she has traveled throughout the U. S. lecturing. About three months ago, however, she perchanced to meet that Oberlin professor again and — news is expected. Luella Krehbiel has been doing work somewhat similar to Kate ' s. For two years she was teacher in the Moundridge High! School. She then became exceedingly interested in the affairs over in the Philippine Islands. After having read several books, she decided that duty called her to those Islands to work. Before she went, however, she took two more years of advanced work in the Kansas University. Then she crossed the ocean and became a teacher in the Luzon schools. It was through her instrumentality that 1 am, since that time, a subscriber to the Luzon Journal. Every number tells much of her work. She is now holding a professorship in the Luzon College. So influential has she become there in both the intellectual and the religious fields, that for the last several vears she has been called The Star of Luzon.

To a friend of mine near Hillsboro, Kansas, J owe it that I can give you a brief sketch of Margaretha Jantzen. In 1912-13 she taught the primary department at Lehigh having sixty pupils under her care. Because of her powerful influence nearly all those pupils have decideil to become either teachers or preachers. Reading of the great work of Mrs. Brown among the factory children she felt a strong desire to become active in that work. She was gladly accepted, and her loving disposition soon promoted her to be overseer of one department of the work. Here she made great plans for the future. However, her plans were put to naught when in 1918 a handsome young fellow came and asked for her hand. A refusal would have bean in vain, so she accepted and at present is at home in Oklahoma City where her husband is proprietor cf a steam laundry. Last but not least shall I write you of the one Hoosier in the class— M. W. Neuenschwander. In 1914 he received his sheepskin at Bethel. During the next three years he tried different things such as teaching, farming, medicine, but finallv decided to enter the Conservatory at Oberlm. In 1918 he finished there and purchasing a small house on the Lake shore in Chicago he moved in with his piano and there lived a life of seclusion. In 1921 he stealthily departed for Germanv where he studied music two more years The same year he lendered at Vienna the first time, his newly composed work, On the Harps of Angels and held the audience ' spellbound for four solid hours. He was now pronounced an artist. His fame spread throughout Europe and America. He is now traveling in this country winning everywhere honors as one of the greatest modern composers and musical artists. I must new close this report. Hoping that each and every one of these twenty-two thus far successful Bethelites may prosper in the future as they have m the past and that they may be blessed with happiness and content into old age; and, hoping furthermore that I have not detained you too long, I beg to remain. Yours most sincerely, THE PROPHET. CLASS SONG- ' ll Twenty-two seniors strong- Sing our Commencement scng Shouting, Vivat! Eight ladies bright and fair, Fourteen young men so rare With any class compare Hurrah! Vivat! With Alma Mater we Remain in sympathy, Bethel with thee. As black with orange blends. Sweet-pea its perfume spends So emblem like as friends We try to be. The courses we complete Will help us much to meet Life ' s problems bold. Whether Academy, Bible or Harmony, Or Normal Course it be — It ' s more than gold. Now, ere we part from here Upon life ' s new career, Let us proclaim This motto as our goal: Leben heisst streben wohl And all with heart and soul Follow the same. 1. Grafting. 2. Asleep ac the switch. 3. In the absence of gas. 4. The janitor and his ciuaiters. ' . Comforting those that mourn. 6. Three pompadours. 7. After study hours. THE GAS Gas is a very useful air, Which, when i ' ts lit, burns with a glare; It saves hard work on Banman ' s share, Provided, it is always there. We all, as students, do declare: That gas is a convenience rare. And in our dormitories fair We suffer more than our share. At Bethel it is popular To have a .Junior— Senior Fair. This sure would be far pleasanter, If all the time the gas were there. Yes, gas at Bethel is our care When Kappibonika does tear; When not like in the spring time fair, We with content can say, It ' s there. Oh pleasant day of spring!— they ' re here To keep us warm and give us cheer, And since in this part of the year We need no gas— it ' s here— how queer! THE BEES The dormitory is a hive In which the bees are kept alive. At present they ' re forty in all, Who buzz and swarm about the hall. The queen bee rooms on the first floor, And smiles whene ' er you ope ' the doer. O ' er other bees she has domain. And many a lesson from her they gain. On Sunday eve the hall is filled With anxious boys whose hearts are thrilled; With grave expectancy to see What on this night their fate will be. Sometimes upon the midnight air Strange sounds come echoing down the While dainty odors rare we smell- Sure spreads are going— one can tell. The reception room is always kept Neat and clean and weekly swept, A welcome place to pass spare hours Giving sweets to hoys — or sours. E. M. K.

Lena Gaeddert — Their breeches reach only up to their knees. Elizabeth Lohrenz— (looking at the proof of her photo) Pshaw, my eyes look just like a dead hen ' s. Prof. Haui-y — What was it that appeared on Wall Street? Edith Hantz — A monkey grinder. Prof. Wedel — Mr. Graber, what can you say about the leaves of the plant. J. K. Graber— (very wisely). The leaves grow out from the lower end of the hycopotyle. Friend— Well, with whom do you room this year? Prof. D. H. Richert— Neu en (d) schwander. Friend — Don ' t know either of them. J. J. Friesen — (eating a water melon) Es ist mir innerlich gegangen. Prof. Riesen— (hearing a pencil being sharpened in the Normal class), I believe some one is scratching up the desk. Miss Hunzicker— Name some other organizations that were prosecuted unsuccessfully. J. H. Loganbill— Street trust. H. T. Unruh— (picking up a number of shot which he had spilled upon the laboratory floor. Prof. Wedel comes in. H. T. thinks it a student and speaks very emphatically) Say, old fellow!

Bernhard Regier — (speaking about taking ladies to the lecture) I wish I had a schance. P. S. Kliewer— (in a very lamentable tone) I have never taken a girl out yet, but it is not my fault. Prof. Riesen— (standing about five feet in front of H. T. Unruh in the Psychology class and explaining cental imagery) Now I can close my eyes and imagine that I see a horse standing about five feet in front of me. Miss Hunzicker— Mr. Lehman, what can you tell us of the Carthagenian fleet? M. M. Lehman— (very dignified) Well, the Carthagenians had a better fleet than the Romans, because the Romans had no fleet. A. J. Regier— (to Prof. P. J. W.) Could I have the balance to the scale out of the case? Prof. Haury— Are there any questions on that part of the lesson which you failed to read for today? Prof. Wedel— (after a Freshie had stretched out full length on the sleetcovered sidewalk) We shall request of the students not to fall down in front of the building when there is a class in this room. H. T. Unruh — (reads in Grammar class) Anna and I went to town. Prof. Haury — Who were the orators of the Revolutionary period? Senior — Daniel Webster. SOME PRICKLY PEARS When some people try to be funny they succeed only in being foolish. If you happen to sit down on a tack, wiggling around will not help matters. Either get up or sit still. Some people who swear off on New Year ' s Day, continue to swear on. You can ' t judge a man by his bank account nor a Christian by his prayers. Of course you do not worry over trifles, but what do you do when the collar-button slips and falls down mside? The man who tries to remove the mote from his neighbor ' s eye while out in a crowd is liable to find a fist m his own. If John D. should happen to live for a hundred years you had just as well hand him your little wad right now. He would get it LUtle Willie from Boston, visited a Kansas farm and was butted by an unruly calf. He said: The horrid creature butted previous end of its anatomy against my afterward with great earnestness and velocity. THE BASE BALL ASSOCIATION CLASSICISMS 1.

DON ' TS Don ' t feel slighted if these don ' ts don ' t strike you — yet we don ' t mean to slight you. ' : ■ : ■ Don ' t criticize the annual so harshly. Perhaps some day you will have one to prepare. Don ' t brood over a thing until you have the blues. Get up and dispose of the greens first. Don ' t try to bluff an instructor by much talking when you do not know — They have had experience. Don ' t throw papers anywhere and everywhere on the reading table. You are old enough to know better. Don ' t act silly just to get people to notice you. You will soon regret that they did notice you. Don ' t make a second and a third choice after you get stung at the dorm. It savors of greed. Don ' t run to town more than necessary. Walk for a change. Don ' t sit and look at the girls continually in classes and other meetings. They are apt to get the impression that you are feeling bad. Don ' t think that just because you are taking advanced work, you can dress better, or belong to a different lineage than some one else, that they are therefore your inferiors and you cannot associate with them. It hurts us now and will hurt you later. Don ' t make an apology in writing your father for more money. Send him a statement. Don ' t forget to keep yourself neat and clean. People estimate you accordingly. Don ' t let your work interfere with your athletics — nor your athletics with your work. Don ' t fill the back rows in chapel first. You can hear equally as well from the front rows. Don ' t form cliques and stick together like syrup-coated candy. It is sickening. You become snubbish and narrow-minded. Don ' t chew gum. Spit it out. Don ' t drum on the desk with your fingers in class. It is hard on the desk. Don ' t play a peacock and be continually looking everywhere about you to see whether you are well decked and thinking how pretty you must be. If you could only see yourself as we see you! Don ' t stutter and snicker when trying to tell something. People feel sorry for you. WE WONDER WHO had the Senior flag, will donate $1000 yearly to Bethel, still regrets that Bethel is advancing, has more work than a Senior, give us a sufficient supply of gas. will invent a remembering machine. will discover a solution with which we can soften some of our hardest branches. had to take a quiz for cutting classes more than three times, will go out and seek the Nurnberger Trichter for the sake of economy. WE WONDER WHEN this Editorial Staff will publish another annual, we will have chicken again. the laws on the proceedings of the Faculty will be enforced, we will have our new gymnasium, the ' 11 flag will float again, steamboats will run on the Kidron. , . Bethel will have 500 students, we can take our first trip in an airship, the street cars will run from Newton to Bethel, we will have a college yell, oranges will grow on the Bethel campus, college credit will be given for baseball playing, electric lights will illuminate the campus. WE WONDER WHY some people wonder so much, students so often suffer from the blues. the gas doesn ' t come. some girls linger so long in the halls on Fridays and Saturdays, or just before a lecture course number, the Sunflower Society went cut of business, some students are so conservative. WE WONDER WHAT would happen when everything has happened that can happen, would happen if we were all Big Guns. will be doing next year when Davie and Doell get together, would happen if Milo would have to be away from the girls for a whole day. the Faculty will make of the annual. would happen if Bethel would receive a donation of $50,000. similarity Dr. McCuish finds between A. J. Regier and a Meth- odist bishop. WE WONDER WHERE the seniors will be in five years hence, the new gymnasium will stand. some students get such splendid answers in examinations. Richert and Lutz would go if the girls would leave. WHAT MAKES 1910-11 HISTORIC AT BETHEL 1. College Day. 2. Co-operation with other schools. 3. Oratorical and Debating Union. 4.

REMINISCENCES OF 1910-11 How dear to our hearts are the thots of old Hebron, When fond recollections recall them to mind! The orchard, the arbor, the swift-flowing Kidron, And every loved spot that our mem ' ries can find; — The widespreading stream, and the grove so close by it Where wiennies were roasted by great and by small; The home of the students, the college well nigh it And e ' en the dear Beehive familiar to all! Those school days at Bethel, we hail as great treasure, For often in winter when all tasks were done We were wont to go skating and sleighing, with pleasure, And deemed all such sports as a great deal of fun. How ardent when spring came, we hailed the first flowers That gladdened the hearts of the botany class! But hark to the music that comes at all hours From the Beehive, the home of full many a lass. The well loved Beehive, The world-famous Beehive, The frequented Beehive, familiar to all! The well-loved Beehive, The world-famous Beehive, The frequented Beehive, familiar to all! —ANON A RESPONSE We, the Seniors of 1911, having been given a most elaborate banquet by you, the Juniors, on the evening of the third of May, 1911, do feel that we are under obligations to make a response. . , v, . , +v,o + We do assure vou that we felt greatly honored to arrive at your commodious hall at the appointed hour and be greeted with that hearty welcome which you extended to us. Like crossing the threshold into the abodes of a king was our entermg into the spacious hall so exquisitely adorned and decorated by you. Fairly were we startled at the sight of rugs and carpets of fine texture procured by laying bare the floors of dormitory and reception rooms; at the grand array of suspended pennants representing forty-three different schools ar d thirteen different states, which you obtained by stripping the walls of homes on campus and in town; at the splendid of specially selected furniture consisting of stands, fine chairs and some thirty rockers; at the great number of pots of beautiful roses and green ferns representing every home on the campus, and last but not least, at the glorious banner bearing the insignia of 11 which so mysteriously disappeared from its lofty sway on the flagpole on the evening of Januar y 12, 1911, and concerning which much sleep was lost and even-at one time-almost causing weeping and gnashing of teeth, and which was now displayed to its full extent at one end of the hall, the orange colored figures on the black back-ground shining out like columns of bright gold from a dark and gloomy sky:— and this was our Senior Most exceedingly did we enjoy listening to the sweet strains of music, the eloquent speeches, and critical essay rendered in the program so ingenious arranged by you. Extremely interesting were the plays and games so well prearranged and ' ted b[ you; and all for our wellbeing and pastime; where we had naught more to do than play, laugh and be merry. Nor can we forget to mention the gas lamps anJ Japanese lanterns so dexteriously covered with red crepe, and your kind lighting of the faithful oil lamps in order that we might see those marvels. express the awe and admiration which overcame us as we were ushered into the banquet hall where we beheld the cross-shaped table, decked with sweet peas, lilies and ferns; long streamers of orange and black rising from all tables and meeting at a common center the walls literallv hidden by the banners of 1913, of the maroon and the gray, and of old glory. Even the very atmosphere was filled with ' fragrance and enchantment. Long will our memory harbor recollections of the beautiful portions of chipped potato, pressed chicken, ice cream and cake, and pickles to which we so amply did justice. Wholly as long will we remember with what intensity we listened ' to the spicy toasts and quaint poems delivered in our honor. . - , .. , , oo- Pr pt thine-=; Ere long we will find ourselves speedily drifting down the swift current of time into the years of mid-and old age. Great things will come to pass-but will be forgotten. Great men will come and go. Great days will occur, be commemorated but for a short tirne and then pass into oblivion. —Yet be this as it will— let great men, great occasions, and great times come and fo- But for the long years yet to come he Senior class will think back ever and anon on that most glorious and enjoyable evening of May 3, 1911 with pride and gladness. And now we beg you, the Juniors, to accept that utmost respect and glad wellwishing which we wish to cherish ever toward you as a token of gratitude for the kindness and good will shown us.

I had intended to write long ago but the delay is surely not due to a lack of love but to the overwhelming amount of work I must do. There is my algebra, my Latin, literature and history, physiology and all the other ologies you have never heard of — so you can imagine that my head feels like a top sometimes. Of course you know that I am extremely studious and make use of every split part of a second. Another hindrance to my work are those boys who always Have so much time to burn. They come into my room and cut up and make a racket but do not realize that I want to work. Otherwise I enjoy my work immensely. And now, my darling father, I wish to touch upon one more point before I close and that is a matter of vital importance to you. It is always with a heavy heart and a trembling hand that I venture upon this subject but life is not scattered only with roses as you have duly experienced — I am ill. The disease I suffer from is impecuniosity. It can be cured only by a loving father. This matter demands immediate attention; if it is not given it may prove fatal. Could you send your poor son, far from home and loved ones, $50.? I know it is asking much but money just flies here. I hardly know where it goes. How is my dear mother? I can hardly think of her without having tears in my eyes. Be sure not to tell the boys. And how is sister Nell? How I long to see you all again but it can not be yet for a while so I shall be satisfied. Hoping to receive a speedy reply, I am, Your loving son. P. S. — I am not particular whether you send $50. or more. (For courtesy sake we do not wish to publish the name of the writer.) Kliewer Bros.
