BOARD OF EDITORS Editor-in-Chief JOHN C. DESTER Associate Editors SUSIE HAURY C. D. VORAN Photo Editor EMMA RUTH BUSINESS MANAGER H. B. SCHMIDT Assistant GUSTAV HAURY THE GROWTH OF BETHEL COLLEGE On the coming twentieth of September it will be twenty yea. 3 .liaL ir-eihei College first opened its doors to students. The begin- ning was quite modest, for during that first year the total enrollment was 98 and the faculty list included only five members. The course of study, as far as the English was concerned, comprised what practically are now the seventh ar d eighth grades in the public schools and two years of academy work. That the students who attended were not far advanced is shown by the fact that only three of the whole number were enrolled for straight work in the Academy, while nearly all the rest had most of their work in the preparatory department. From the first year to the present time there has been a marked change for the better in the preparation of the students at the time of entrance. In the beginning many students had to spend two years before they were ready to take up Academy work proper, while in re- cent years all are prepared to enter at least the first year of the Academy. Some come prepared to enter the later years of the Academy course or even to take up CoKege work. The school has been comparatively slow— too slow, as some thir.k; yet we may say that it has been as rapid as the circumstances and demands in school and among the patrons warranted. A great deal of pioneer work had to be done, and pioneer work can never be safely hurried. Yet if we examine the records, we find that during all these years there has been a gradual and steady progress. The number of students slowly rose from 98 in the first year to over 200 at present; the faculty has been increased from five members to seventeen for the year 1913-14; and the course of study has been so strengthened from year to year that we now have, r,ot only an Academic course, but also a College course of four years. In the beginning there was only one special department besidss the regular preparatory and academic department, namely that of instrumental music. After a few years art was added and a little late.- elocution. The Commercial department and that of vocal training were the Eext to fd ' ow; the former, however, was discontinue ' d a few years ago as a special feature cf Bethel College and is now carried on in town as a separate school. Right from the start it was the intention to make Bethel College in fact what it was in name— a college. It wo-uld have been an easy thing to arrange paper courses and make a good showing, at least in the catalogue, but the principles of the school were against such meth- ods. To strengthen the teaching force to such an extent as to make a full College course possible from the first, would have been unwise; for neither did the state of the finances permit this, nor were the students and their parents, with few exceptions, ready for such advance- ment. The time came, however, when the school had to meet the growing demands of our young people, and, consequently, the number of teachers was increased and the course of study strengthened so that the school can now offer a full col ' -ege course. To be sure there is still many a change for improvements, but we may depend on it that these will be made in their proper time. There is one thing that our school must guard against now as much as at any other time, if not more, and that is the tendency towards showiness of outer appearances. After all, the growth of Bethel College must be measured not so much by the number of students that attend and the expansion of its curriculum, as by the quality and the character of the work done and by the influence for good that it spreads in the comm.unities it repre- sents. No one can deny that our school has, to a great extent, carried out the mission for which it was founded, and we are confident that with the increased faci ' ities it will continue to be a blessing to our people. «r.t Iff COLLEGE GROUP BOARD OF DIRECTORS liPft to Right — D.

O humbly we toiled, oft stumbled, oft fell — As we strove to work boldly and bravely and well. Then Sophomores proudly we sought after truth, We dreamed with our classmates the glad ' dreams of youth. The future stood eager her prize to impart And, bounding with passion, each true loyal heart Vowed strongly to make in the years still to come The knowledge our fathers held truly his own. Brave Juniors we struggled to reach our high goal, Unbent our best powers with heart and with soul; We wrestled with Science and Languages too, In History and English our ardor still grew; As Senors, alas, our goal we have found Recedes as we near it— is sought but not found. It beams and it gleams far fairer than dawn Alluring, evading, then waits farther on. We rue not our toil, we rue not our time, We thrilled with the longing, forever to climb. Blest heritage. Bethel, thou gavest to us, None other can lead us so truly as this. The knowledge thou gavest may vanish away;. One passion thou gavest remaineth alway. For tho we stay by thee, or tho we may rove. Or ours be the blessings of life and of love; What tho we win laurels, or tho we earn fame. Or grave deep in history each fair Senior name; From thee came a treasure far richer in sooth, ' Tis the thirst for more knowledge, more wisdom, more truth. Farewell to thee Hebron, loved spot in the West, Farewell Alma Mater, the truest and best, Farewell we ' ll cherish in glad happy dreams Thy wide sunny prairies, thy low winding streams. Thy wandering winds that sweep over the plain, Thy clear azure skies, oft shadowed by rain; Thy friendship unbroken e ' en tho we must part, Thy precepts still throbbing, thru mind and thru heart. O loyalty. Bethel, we ' ll pledge ere we roam Far, far from thy precincts, our dear College home. — E. B.

LANGENWALTER • The resources of a Christian school are not to be rated on a basis of material advantages priman:y. Funds are necessary, to be sure and it frequently tafes streruious efforts to get all of the material assistance necessary to conduct a school of this type properly and satisfactorily, but when one wishes to count up the real resources of the institution, one looks for them elsewhere than in the treasurer ' s ledger. One of the most significant resources of Bethel College is the large opportunity of making a variable coritribution to the intellect- ual moral social and religious progress of the people for whom the school was primarily founded. This opportunity has increased wonder- fully since the establishment of the school, so much so in fact, that even the most sanguine hopes of the enthusiastic and optimistic sup- porters at the beginning have been surpassed. Another of the valuable resources of Bethel College is the body of young men and young women who have gone forth from her haUs During the first 19 years (1893-1912) there were 1299 persons enrolled as students of the institution. When one considers that fully 20 ' per cent of these have in turn taught others, one begins to realize the large possibilities for the influence of our school. Besides those who have become teachers there have been those who have entered the ministry, have gone to mission fields, have entered the service of humanity as physicians, deaconesses or nurses, and those who have gone into their various walks cf life with enlarged vision as to life s better possibilities, quickened consciences as to the duties of life and deepened interest in the eternal va ues of life as it presents itself to the individual and to the society of which each individual is a part. Perhaps it may appear as though one should consider these a result rather than a resource of the school. They are both. It is their influence and their enthusiasm which bring other young men and young women as students to the school and which make friends for the same, and which therefore make our ex-students a most excellent re- source for the upbuilding of their Alma Mater. Still another of the resources which Bethel is fortunate in being able to count as one of her valuab ' e assets is the host of friends who while they have never been able to profit directly by the work done within her halls, have yet caught the vision of her founders and have made noble efforts to perpetuate the work from which they expect valuable returns in the future, not for themselves but for those who are dear to them. Many of these friends have been deprived of the advantages offered their chi ' .dren even before these come to Bethel College nevertheless, when they look upon the new conditions with a new and deepened interest in the large possibilities before the coming generation they become willing to lay hold of work which often goes beyond their full comprehension and, we confidently trust, built bet- ter than they know Such work is a practical demonstration of a faith which is not only a credit to any institution which is so fortunate as to be the possessor of such friends but which, most assuredly, must be counted as one of the most valuable resources of such an insti- tution. ' COLLEGE JUNIORS P. D. SCHULTZ P. P. WEDEL P. F. QUIRING WHO IS WANTED? J. W. KLIEWER When a young person is about to finish a course in school and to go out to work for a while before continuing his education, it Is but natural that the question of finding work will considerably occupy his mind. The way society is constituted now, most people who are at work are employed by others, and most persons who have work to be done must, at least to a certain extent, depend upon others to have it ' done. To have the emp:oyer always find the desired employee and the man willing to work always find remunerative employ- ment is not a matter so easy of solution. Sometimes to overcome this difficulty advertisements are put into the want columns of the newspapers. But this practice is really confined to unskilled labor. As a rule higher grade workers do not thus advertise for positions nor the positions for the worker. This may be largely for the reason that in these fields the personality of the worker enters Into con- sideration more. For these positions persons of character are wanted. A well-rounded character is preferred. A few positions may be open for eccentric people, but generally a balanced person wears longer. What are some of the characteristics that will open the doors of opportunity today? As to preparation a person must have a good education, but must beware of being pedantic. Our education in this respect is like our virtues: it ceases to be admirable as soon as it becomes showy. Appearing less than one is, is safer than appearing more. As to the bent of mind, one should be firm, but not to the extent of stubbornness; original, yet not so that harmony with others becomes impossible; religious, but not emphasizing creed more than deed. Socially one should be affable but not fawning and cringing, for after all, nothing recommends one like genuine manliness. One should take a sympathetic interest in the affairs of others, but be on the guard that vulgar curiosity does not make one an inter-meddling busybody, for our most intimate friends have privacies into which we must not presume to pry. As to behavior, the desirable person is serene, but not stolid; he is active, but not a bustler. As to the outlook upon the future, a person should be willing to risk, but not be a plunger; he should be progressive, but not a revolutionist; he should be conservative, yet not so as to hinder desirable progress. In the handling of money he should be saving, yet not parsimonious; for not every dollar saved is so much gained.

THE LIBRARY A good library is one of the real necessities of an educated man, so also it it a real necessity of an educational institution. ' Betliel has at present a very good library for a school of its size. During the last two years the library has been growing rapidly. Books have been presented by friends and patrons of the school, also gifts of money for the purpose of buying books. The work of indexing the library has been carried on as swiftly as possible and is now nearing completion. The library now contains approximately 3,400 volumes exclusive of Congressional Records and pamphlets of various kinds. A number of the best periodicals are kept on the magazine racks, also several daily and weekly papers, both German and English. ALPHA BETA SOCIETY Wollmann, Haury, A. Rempel, Dickman, Neufeld, S. Rempel, Isaac, Goertz, Ewert, Wiebe, Balzer. The Alpha Beta Society is a new society in the history of Bethel College. It was organized on the eighth of October, 1912, by the girls of the college department. There were at that time twelve girls with a college standing, and altho this seemed but a small group, the girls were willing to take upon themselves the responsibility of keeping up a society. It was decided that the object of the society should be literary training, and this they tried to attain by giving a literary program, either in the English or German language, every other week. Each member has worked diligently to fulfill her duty as a nienber of the Alpha Beta Society, and all have tried to live up to their motto, Better faithful than famous. I .2, 3 ■¥ First Row— Dick, P.

Fhi ' s.ef-i The Delphian Society The Delpliian Society was born with a constitu- tional weakness. Fathered by the Senate in 1911, and brought up motherless, it was in childhood a wayward youngster. Its early struggles were due to a miserable mulierosity. The faculty doctor met this diagnosis with a prescription of moral suasion. The Society thereupon tried to dissolve itself in tears, stub- born tears, but the faculty member again rose to the occasion by making a keen chemical analysis and then added some dissociated hypocritous acid which precipitated an insoluble society, which has consist- ently revealed both base and ass-id properties. This is last year ' s sorrowful record. In the fall of 1912 the struggle for survival was one of subjugating the freshman class, which at first stood aloof and then, realizing the strength in its numbers, threaten- ed to overrun the Delphians as tlie Huns swamped Europe. By startling parliamentary strategy Presi- dent P. F. Quiring outflanked Attila J. V. Friesen and won the day, covering himself with giory and the freshmen with disgust. A new constitution was adopted, and with it the Delphian Society gained a new lease on life. The Society presented the Trial of President John- son on Impeachment as a public program on April 18. The standard of literary work is higher than it was last year, an improvement for which the freshmen are largely responsible. K. Baergen, Prieheim, Ratzlaff, Graber, E.

OPHELIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Motto: Little things make something mighty. Emblem — WiM Rose. This literary society was organized in the fall of nineteen hundred and eleven. Its membership is composed of academy girls. Short programs, prepared alternately in German and English, are given every Friday evening. The aim of this society is clearly stated in the first paragraph of its constitution. It is the desire to improve our power of thonght and expression, and to cultivate our society qualities by means of an association of young women. And the programs, consisting of de- bates, original themes and various other interesting subjects, give every girl an opportunity to broaden in literary lines and develop tie poise and bearing necessary to appea- successfully before a critical audience. The more you practice what you know, the more you shall know what to practise. Voth, Harms, Boese, Reimer, Mueller, Flickner, Zerger, Friesen, Ratzlaff, Voth.

The Alethian Society was organized by academy girls in nineteen hundred eleven with a membership of thirty-six, and the work un- dertaken by them was successfully carried out. However, at the end of the year, many stepped out of the ranks and in the fall of nineteen hundred twelve the few remaining proved to be faithful workers still, for new members were enlisted ard the society reorganized. With a membership of twenty-five the work has been quite successfu:. Private programs have been rendered and an active part has been taken in. the public programs. These programs have served not only as entertainment, but have also been educational in preparing the debaters, orators, elocutionists and singers for their future work. Here ' s hoping that the society may live on, being an aid to man succeeding students.

PHILOMATHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY This society is one of the two formed of the Lincoln Literary Society, when that society was divided because it was becoming too large for efficient work. The name of this organization means Lovers of Knowledge, and it is the aim of every member to justify his name. Programs are given every Friday evening, consisting of orations, essays, original stories, music, debates and sometimes a newspaper. This society also does work in Parliamentary drill.

Its parent, the Lincoln Society, had become too large to give the most useful service and it divided, giving life to the Athenian and its brother, the Philomathian. The Athenian was named after Athens of old and, like it, has become a center of culture, refinement and intellectual power. The motto of every Athenian is: Non Solum Scholae, Sed Etiam Vitae (Not only for school, but also for life). In true keeping with this motto solid work is being done. The society holds meetings on two Fridays out of three, the third being given to holding public pro- grams, in which the other societies of the Academy also participate. It is a well-known fact that public speakers and good debaters do not spring up over night like mushrooms, but that they become such only through hard work and with patient practicing. It may therefore be said that the Athenian society has proven to be very efficient in helping aspiring orators to come well within sight of their goal. For members of the Athenian have won laurels both in oratorical con- tests and in interacademic debating contests. The society now has thirty-three very promising members, all of whom are bound to make good. DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC. A short resume of the work of the Music Department for the year 1912-13 is probably in place. The enrollment of students taking work in this department, not including the names of such taking more than one line of work in music twice, is approximately forty-five per cent of the student body. The classes in piano and voice are naturally the largest, altho the organ, harmony and history of music classes have been very satisfactory this year. During the year, the Oratorio society of 160 members has given three public concerts, all of them artistically successful. The works studied were the St. Cecelia Mass by Gounod, God ' s Time is Best, by Bach, and Easter Cantata by Max Bruch. For the coming year, 1913-14, Prof. Hirschler has arranged a course in Appreciation of Music, designed not only for music students, but for such other students who feel that their education is not well rounded along artistic lines. The danger is ever present to educate students away from artistic things, many students going through college know- ing nothing about the great masters and masterpieces of tone, color, and form. This course will give the average student an opportunity to get a good working knowledge of things musical in an untechnical way. A new grafanola has been secured to aid in illustration, also one hundred do lars worth of new books along musical lines. The two glee clubs have been trained by the teachers of the de- partment and have aided in many public programs, both in the College and the city. A system of bi-weekly recitals has also been inaugurated this year, thus giving music students more opportunity to appear in public per- formance. The Artist Course of four numbers was highly successful both artistically and financiar.y. Never before has the College or Newton been able to hear a course of such artiste musicians in one season. The artists who appeared this year were the following: Mr. Heniot Levy, pianist. Pasmore Trio, violin, cello, piano. Mr. Enrico Palmetto, tenor. Mme. Lucille Stevenson Tewksbury, soprano. The course for the coming year has already been arranged for and consists of the following: Mr. Marion Greene, basso, cantante. Mr. Silvis Scionti, pianist. The Zoellner String Quartette. Miss Barbara Wait, contralto. All in all, the Music Department has enjoyed a healthy and nor- mal growth, and looks forward to still greater achievements.

It is limited to no material or product. Sometimes, for convenience, a division of art is made into fine arts and industrial arts; however, art thould always be recognized as essentially one. If an inspiration is portrayed accurately and truly, whether it be on canvas, in marble, stone, wood, metal, porcelain or textile, it should be recognized as a product of art. True art must pro- ject or realize the highest ideal of noble souls. This is true in art in the narrower sense, as well as in music and poetry. As in music the hand and the ear must be trained, so in art the hand and the eye must be educated to portray mind pictures. It is true that art must come from within and not from without, yet the mechanical basis of all art is good drawing, modeling, and coloring. Therefore, any course in art must give proper attention to these. The Art Department of Bethel offers courses in the following: Free hand and mechanical drawing, also in water-color, oil, and china painting. An elementary course of two periods a week during the entire school year is given as a part of the regular course. The Oratorical and Debating Union President, P. F. Quiring Vice President, J. V. Friesen Secretary, J. S. Schultz Treasurer, J. C. Dester The Oratorical and Debating Union has had a healthy growth since its organization in 1910. It has not attempted to broaden it s activities beyond those contemplated at its organization, but it has intensified its interests and systematized its proceedings and policies. During the past year it has conducted an Essay Contest which marked an advance beyond last year ' s work in the same line, and it also managed several interscholastic debates with Lewis Academy of Emporia College and one with McPherson College Academy, The Union had the pleasure with its debating teams, Mr. C. D. Voran and Miss Helen Hagen, against McPherson, and Mr. D. B. Hess and Mr. Gustav Haury against Emporia, to win a decided vistory for Bethel in each contest. Besides this the Union managed a lecture recital by Cora Mel Patten of the Marden School of Oratory and Music of Chicago, on Maeterlinck ' s charming drama, The Blue Bird. The Union endeavors to support the various phases of literary activities and foster an appreciation among the students for the art of expression — that art which is most democratic of all arts. It is the art which concerns itself with our commonest and most fruitful form of expression, the spoken and written language. The purpose of all art is to reveal the truth by concrete means. But each art has its limi- tations and guiding principles. The art of expression as an art has then, too, its limitation, but it seeks to, and can, more than any other art effect our daily experiences by beautifying and enriching the conversation, addresses, and talks of a ' l by training the voice to obey the mind and the mind to choose the beautiful, effective and true in life ' s realities. It seeks to beautify the cor.versation of all. This ideal the Union directly or indirectly attempts to promote. H. L.

Voran THE CHRISTIAN STUDENTS ' UNION The Cliristian Students ' Union was organized in the spring of 1911, for the purpose of promoting a growth in Christian character and fellowship and aggressive Christian work, especially by and for the students. Its beginning is due to the efforts of the faculty, especially to those of the Dean of the Bible Department. The two departments, the Men ' s Auxiliary and the Women ' s Auxiliary, are similar to a Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Both auxiliaries work in harmony with each other, each having a number of committees to do the work of the various departments. The Religious Meeting Committees arrange for religious services on the campus, and also e ' -sewhere if practicable. This year we have had weekly meetings at the county jail and the Mexican quarters, also song service at the two hospitals. The Bible Study Committees provide for Bible Study classes, each of which usually consist of less than ten members, and are led by students. The Mission Study Committees arrange for similar classes, excepting that the work of these consists in the study of Home and Foreign Missions. The Social Committees look after the social life of the students. They act as a reception committee at the opening of school in the autumn, and also arrange lor various student socia ' s during the year. The Employment Committees endeavor to bring the waiting job and the student waiting for a job together. The remaining committees are those of Me mbership and of F inance, of which the duty of the former is to enroll students as mem- bers of the organization, and that of the latter to manage the finances. The total number of students serving on committees is at least forty, and since the size of the committees is not limited, the number may be increased. This gives many an opportunity to serve, and the division of duties insures efficiency. The officers for the year 1913-1914 are: Mr. P. D. Schultz, President, who is at the head of the Men ' s Auxiliary; and Miss Helena Isaac, Vice President, who is in charge of the Women ' s Auxiliary. THE STUDENT VOLUNTEER BAND The organization known as the Student Volunteer Movement is a world-wide movement among students, li was first organized in 1886, but did not undertalie its educational work until 1912. At present there is hardly an educational institution of a Christian character where the influence of this movement has not been felt. The primary purpose is to further the interest of Foreign Missions among students, but it does not only aim to do this, but also to enroll volunteers for the work along all lines on the Mission field, such as teaching, civil engineering, preaching, etc., and to arouse the home church to its privilege of giving and praying for the support of those in the work. In 1909 an organization of this nature was effected at Bethe ' under the name of The Volunteer Band of Bethel College. The first band was com- posed of nine members. The Band has been re-organized at the open- ing of each school year since then. The Band of 1911-12 had 13 mem- bers, many of whom are now active in home mission work. The Band of 1912-13 is composed of 9 members, three of which are college stud- ents and one a college graduate this year. Another has been accepted by the Board to take the place of our Sister Annie C. Funk, in India. Any student who is willing to sign a card upon which the following declaration is printed is eligible to membership. The card reads: It is my purpose, if God permit, to become a foreign missionary. . The student makes this his purpose and arranges his preparation accord- ingly. It does not necessarily follow that every one who signs the card will go out. But he remains at home only when led so by the Spirit of God. The Band holds its weekly meeting on Tuesday evening at 7 o ' clock, and continues one hour, which time is spent in the consideration of Missionary problems. This year the Band studied John R. Mott ' s book, The Decisive Hour of Christian Missions. Every Sunday there is a deputation of students to visit the Mexican camp in the city of Newton and also the county jail. This work is under the supervision of a member of the Band. Upon an invitation from outside churches the Band also arranges to give a Missionary program in the church giving the invitation. This year, 1912-13, some 20 such programs have been given. These programs are given with the intention of awakening interest in the work among the churches. The Band hopes by its various efforts to be somewhat instrumental in bringing about the result as set forth In its motto, which is alFo the mrtfo of the national movement; The Evangelization of the World in this Generation. In these efforts we solicit a remembrance in the prayer of e ery member of the Church of Christ. D. B. HESS, President. In the name of the Band, FRIEDA BALZER, Secretary. BIBLE AND MISSION STUDY The student in coming to Bethel College thereby indicates that he wants to get a broader view of life and its duties. In order to get this broad view or vision, the student will not only enroll in the regular college work, but he will as well be active in the activities not in the curriculums. Among these activities there are voluntary Bible and Mission study. Since the fall of 1911 this work has been carried on systematically by the Christian Students Union. During the years 1911-12 and 1912-13 practically the whole student body took either Bible or Mission study, or both. Forty-five minutes, from 6:30 to 7:15 p. m., twice a week, are devoted to these classes. Students gather in small groups, either under student or professor leadership, to get a better glimpse into the Word of God, and a greater vision of the world field. These groups afford opportunity to get closer to each other in an informal way. They help to create leadership of which the world is in great need. No student can afford to be ignorant about the Bible. The Christian needs to know the Bible that he be able better to interpret the same to himself and to others. This study will surely help him to get a deeper interest in carrying the message to those yet without the Gospel. Even the one not so religiously inclined should know the Bible for the principles upon which are founded laws, institutions, and nations. Through the study of the Word of God he may become convinced to follow Jesus. It has been said that a person who is not read up on Missions isn ' t up-to-date. Indeed does Mission study help to drive out pro- vincialism. It broadens our field of vision and makes us see the need of being citizens of a world-wide kingdom. It behooves every stud- ent to get related to this, the greatest movement of our day — the missionary movement. How better get intelligent missionary interest than by the study of missions? A WISH Do you wish the world were better? Let me tell you what to do, Do you wish the world were wiser? Well, suppose you make a start. Do you wish the world were happy? Then remember day by day. Set a watch upon your actions, Keep them always straight and true; By accumulating wisdom in the Scrapbook of your heart. Just to scatter seeds of kindness As you pass along the way. Rid your mind of selfish motives. Let your thoughts be clean and high; Do not waste one page on folly; Live to learn and learn to live. For the pleasures of the many may Be oftimes traced to one. You can make a little Eden Of the sphere you occupy. If you want to give men knowledge You must get it e ' re you give.

Langenwalter BASKET BALL REVIEW Basket ball is becoming increasingly popular at Bethel. Aa with the coming of a gymnasium the popularity of this game win unaouDt- edly continue to grow. Students and faculty heartily wish that this shouli be the case, for the past season has very strikingly demonstrat- ed the value of such exercise as basket ball affords. Especially since this is the season when exercise out of doors is very often practically impossible. In the past season each class in the academy and also the Fresh- men of the College were represented by a team. At the opening of the season, the captains of the respective teams arranged two schedules. One being for the Academy teams only, and the other was arranged between the Academy teams and the College Freshmen. The teams entered the contest with a vim, and a healthy rivalry sprang up among the different teams. Great interest and spirit was shown in the games, not only by the contesting teams, but also by the whole student body, who congregated in moderate numbers for each game. Toward the latter part of the season two of the teams were weak- ened by sickness and accident. Now since these teams did not have an equal chance of winning the contest with the other teams, it was decided by the captains to stop the contest for this season. Remarkable as it may seem, it is nevertheless true, that each team excelled in some particular line. This is evidently the reason that the games were so intensely interesting, and it is also due to this fact that the results could never be foretold with anything like accu- racy. The academy Freshmen excelled on the defensive and in unbroken team work. The Sophomores in sensational shots and passes. The Juniors excelled on the offensive and in pushing the ball thru. The Seniors excelled in putting up a general game fight, occasionally break- ing the monotony by edging out of the fray and making things come their way. The College Freshmen excelled in long passes and general speed. Judging from the past season we expect much from basket ball Academy Freshmen won 4 lost 1 at Bethel in the future. Academy Juniors won 4 lost 2 When the games for this season were suspended the standing of Academy Sophomores won 3 lost 4 the teams was as follows: Academy Seniors won 1 lost 5 College Freshmen won every game they played.

BASEBALL Baseball has always been the favorite athletic sport at bethel, and this season is by no means an exception. Students realize more and more that they cannot expect to do the best of work unless they take proper exercise. Baseball has bee n proved to be a game especially good for relieving the mind of the day ' s routine of work. Not only does it develop the body, but also trains the mind to act quickly and with accuracy. An active, well de- veloped body, gifted with a sound responsive mind is coveted by every man. Students realizing this fact, make the most of their opportunity. On April the 4th a team of players went to Em- poria with the debating team. There they put up a good game with the second team of the College of Emporia, defeating them by a small margin of one score (9-8). This season three teams have been organized, and a schedule has been arranged so that each team plays two games a week. This method will undoubtedly prove very successful, for more boys are induced to take part. The enthusiasm that these games create spread through the whole student body, making the closing weeks of school full of life and vigor. Many of the boys are proficient in the game. Nine of these maturer men have been selected and by little practice can be developed into a team that would be a credit to any school the size of Bethel. The pitching force is especially strong. Each corner of the infield is guarded by a man that assures his comrades that his position win be well taken care of. The batting aver- age looks very promising. In addition to the games played between the teams organized by the students, there will be games played with the Bethel Commercial College and Newton High School. L Prof. Doell, manager Schroeder, c.

It affords physical exercise as well as pleasure. It de- velops co-operation of mind and body by training for quick thinking and accurate movement. There is nothing more refreshing after a hard day of mental grind than a game of real tennis. Bethel showe ' d her interest in this game last fall by clearing ten courts for the game. Six of these were controlled by the Athletic Association, by the faculty ar.d two by private parties. This spring the plans are for making several courts more permanent than the ground courts which are grown over with grass each fall and are soft after the rains. Either gravel or c ay would answer this purpose if properly prepared. S. F. L,, Tennis Captain. TRACK PROSPECTS Track work is comparatively new at Bethel. Last year was the first time an inter-class meet was held. At this the highest honors were carried away by the present graduating class. The success of the first attempt at this kind of work has been pronounce ' d complete; and now the faculty members in charge of athletics are doing much for the advancement of track work. Some very fast material was developed here last year, and we expect as much this season, for many are practising persistently during the leisure hours, so that they might not only win honors, but a ' so receive the benefit of regular invigorating exercise. The work done here compared favorably with that done in other schools of this kind. Altho it might not be of as hi2h an average, on accoi tit of its comparative youth, yet we certainly hava the material. All that is necessary then, is: First, to get the work outlined systematically; and second, practise. • . We expect to see track work established on a firm basis in a very short time. The gym- nasium will go a long way in making this possi ' jle. CLASS HISTORY We, the members of the Academy Senior class of 1913, have the honor of being the first regularly classified Freshmen of Bethel Academy. As a result of this honor, we formed the first organized Freshmen class. Albert Bachman was elected president of this class. Our members, young and active, began their work with a will, which soon won the respect of their upper classmates. Our colors were chosen under difficulty. Orange and black were our choice, but the Juniors confirmed our good taste by selecting the same colors. Therefore, respect- ing their seniority, we willingly gave over the colors and decided upon steel gray and old rose instead. Being only Freshmen, we did not deem it necessary to make a flag, but rather wore caps to proclaim our class rights. It was truly a great event when we first appeared with this headgear, and caused quite a sensation among the students, for never before had any Freshmen thus asserted their spirit. Our motto, Not at the top, but still climbing, revealed our ardent desire to obtain nothing short of the highest. When, in the fall of 1910, Bethel again opened its doors to the students, our class, including old and new members, numbered about thirty. Sam Langenwalter was now chosen president, and the co ors were changed to purple and white. At the present time, the college Freshmen have the honor of possessing this president, as well as the colors. This year (1910) we made a most beautiful flag, not to be rivaled by any of the others. The inexperienced Freshmen of this year also made a flag and tried to gain the honor of having their flag float before that of the other classes. They succeeded in putting out their flag, but unfortunately it rained that day which did not help the flag ' s appearance. Then four of our ever obliging Sophomore boys willingly lent a helping hand in bringing down the flag, only a trifle too soon for the freshies pleasure. Naturally this aroused some anxiety and caused some heated discussions. But the ever-peaceful Sophomores succeeded in pacifying these turbulent emotions, and estab- lished friendship between the two classes. The Juniors of 1911 and 1912 constituted the class at Bethel. As president we chose Paul Lichti. Still longing for those old colors, orange and black, which we were depriv- ed of in our Freshmen year, we now took the opportunity given us by the graduation of the class formerly possessing these colors, and adopted them. Another flag, even more beautiful than last years, was made and floated on an opportune day. For our class flower we chose the white rose, symbo:izing purity. Since it was thought best that each class have a faculty advisor, we elected Miss Byler. To her much of our success is due, and it is Miss Byler whom we honor most. Feeling that we would like to show the departing Seniors our good will, we gave them a banquet. When spring burst forth with all its might we abated our spring fever by enjoying an outing. Early in the morning, two hay racks took all the jolly Juniors out for a ride in the country. This is a never-to-be-forgotten ride, the air so balmy and sweet, gave us new life and vigor for which this year ' s S enior class is noted. Seniors! What a sensation this word gives. But alas, what opportunities and responsibilities. Fully realizing that we must begin we:i in order to accomplish our aims, we met and chose Giustav Haury as class president, and asked Miss Byler to remain with us as class professor. With these two able leaders our class has made good, both intellectually and socially. To become better acquainted as well as renew old acquaintances, the class has had a number of social functions throughoiut the year. Early in the fall we had an outing on the banks of a near stream. Later when the snow covered the ground, we enjoyed some social hours in a bob-sled. St. Valentine was properly observed, for then the girls took the opportunity and gave the boys a party, which all enjoye ' d to the fullest extent. However, the crowning event of this year ' s social functions was the banquet given by the Juniors. Our class has prospered intellectually as well as socially. Two of our members have distinguished themselves in debating, others have made themselves famous as musicians; some have accomplished much in the line of art; some are efficient athletes. A number are prospective teachers and missionaries. GROUP OF RESIDENCES Hy Martins David Goerz Prof. G. A. Haury Chr. Wirk ' er Prof. P. J. Wedel Mrs. C. H. Wedel NOW NOTICE NEWTON [t was not by mere chance that xNewton, in 1887, was selected by those interested, as the buildicg site of Bethel College. There was a motive, an underlying reason. Those venerable gray heads knew what great possibilities could be expected from the small frontier town of Newton; they Itnew that it was a fine place and best suited to supply the needs of the school. In the early ' 70 ' s, when vast herds of buffalo were roaming the gr eat plains, of which Kansas was a part, when it was no strange sight to see Indians on the war path, indeed, when Kansas was yet in the midst of the days of the frontiersmen, a small site on the Santa Fe railroad, in central Kansas,, was picked out as a suitable situation for the town to be called Newton. Immediately small buildings sprang up, and the little western cowboy town of Newton became a lively commercial center. Cattlemen, with herds of stock, made this new place their rendezvous and their goal, because it offered such splendid shipping facilities. Prairie schooners would often be seen winding their way wearily over the great stretch of plain toward Newton. And Newton grew, and with the growth came increasing fame as a commercial center. But the pioneer and frontier days for Newton have passed forever, the days of the prairie schooner have passed and made way for the monstrous engines, drawing prosperity, bringing trains of cars, the days of the buffalo have passed and in their place vast herds of placid looking milk cows and other stock can be seen grazing on the fertile pastures; of the Indian there remains nothing but a few arrow heads turned up by the farmer as he tills the soil with his gasoline tractor. The row of shacks and frame buildings, which were once the rendezvous of the rougher element of pioneer day citizens, have disappeared and now large, substantial buildings loom up against the sky. Jmst step up into the tower of the Harvey county court house, which is situated in Newton, and take a bird ' s-eye view over our beautiful little city, and the verdant surrounding country. First of course you see the broad Main street paved and lined by sixteen foot cement sidewalks; that stretch soath to the end of Main street and north out to the College. You do not see sky scrapers harshly outlined against the sky or enshrouded in clouds of smoke, and hear the roar and commotion of a New York, but you see buildings erected of mater- ial that is pleasing to the eye; sandstone, lime stone, etc, and a beautiful business Main street gradually changing into a thoroughfare lined with large, magnificent shade trees, set into the lawns and garden plots that border the dwelling houses. An increasing number of com- fortable looking houses stretch out toward the College, showing the late growth of Newton. We turn our gaze over towards the southwest and the Santa Fe shops and a maze of railroad tracks come into view, for the Santa Fe has one of its largest terminals located at this point. Nearly at any time can we see monstrous trains, either De Luxe passenger trains or heavily laden freight trains puffing and steaming their way swiftly into Newton, doing their part in building up the Greater Newton. The Santa Fe shops afford employment for hundreds of men, either trained mechanics or apprentices. At the further end of the shops per- haps is an engine which is being repaired, here is one taking in water, probably the last before the journey to the Sunny West is ended. Nothing adds to the prosperity and growth of a city as much as does a railroad. In this work the Missouri Pacific aids the Santa Fe, for that too has a branch line running thru the outskirts of the city. Over on the Santa Fe looking west we discern thick columns of smoke gushing forth from the tall chimneys of the Newton ice plant, one of the largest in Kansas, which supplies much of the ice used in Newton and surrounding towns. Not so very far removed from the ice plant is a large dairy farm, strictly sanitary, which is one of the number that supply Newtonians with some of the necessities of life. Look- ing in other directions we see another large ice plant, several large milling companies, large, practical hospitals and many other buildings and concerns worthy of much mention. But we cannot always stand and admire the outside beauty of the city, we must step down from our look-out and inquire about the inside affairs. The city affairs are conducted by the commission form of government, which method has come into great favor with the citizens. Everything has been systematized and arranged so as to be most favorable for the progress and growth of the city. It has been brought about in the last year that a sp ' .endid home for the city officers an dfor the Are department has been built, that a magnificent auditorium is under construction. The city of Newton manages the Newton water works, which supplies the state-wide famous 99.956 aqua pura of which there is an ample sufficiency for you and your families use. A wide-awake fire department is every instant on its toes await- ing yoiur call, should fire break out. The street cleaning force keeps the wide streets in shape; a systematic method of street sprinkling keeps the dust where it is not disagreeable, and keeps the pavement cool in the hot months. Of many other departments and local concerns that are for the benefit of the citizers and for the beauty and general wellfare of the city, we cannot here speak for lack of space, but of one we must speak as an exceptionally live wire of Newton, the Newton Commercial Club, composed of citizens who are filled to the brim with push and enthusiasm, and who always have the interests of Newton and her citizens at heart, stands forth in bold relief. Unmistakable evidence of its influence and spirit can be seen in the numeroius conventions which other larger cities have sought in vain, that have been brought here thru its ceaseless efforts; in their aid pushing the city water to the college; in their tireless efforts, first to bring the interurban into the city, and then in their aid to others interested in the welfare of Bethel, in securing an extension of the line out to our school. The club is working for the better and greater Newton and is succeeding admirably. Aside from the industrial institutions of the city, Newton is not lacking. It has a good system of public schools, a Carnegie library and various educational organizations for the study of literature and art. There are three large public school buildings situated in convenient places for all pupils, and a very fine $85,000 high school building in the course of construction. After the completion of the high school building, the instruction offered will have a larger scope, several new courses such as manual training and domestic science, will be added to the regular curriculum. The instructions offered in the city schools is first class, the school authorities making special efforts to engage a most efficient corps of teachers. There are a few German schools in session during the summer, one remaining in session during the winter, and also a parochial school in connection with the Catholic church. There are about eighteen or twenty different women ' s organizations for the study of literature, music and art, and others for char- ity and benevolences. Some of the societies for the relief of the poor have demonstrated their efficiency very manifestly during the past win- ter. In connection with the educational system the Young Peopple ' s Lecture Course deserves merited mention, the lectures and entertain- ments are very popular and are very largely attended by young and old. The Santa Fe railway company frequently has reading room enter- tainments consisting of lectures and musicales of a high order for its employes. Newton, since it has an exceptionally large number of em- ployes, being one of the few cities thus favored. During the past winter the Bethel College Artist Course brought a number of note ' d artists to the city who gave a series of high-class recitals. Another course of concerts of the same superior merit has been arranged for the com- ing season. There are also several places of popular amusements, among them are three motion picture theatres, an opera house, and an auditorium. The plays performed are not of the degrading character which one often finds in the larger cities. There are three parks located at convenient places. The Athletic park, since it is very large inextent, is frequently the scene of fairs and exhibitions of various kinds. It has many buildings for sheltering live stock when on exhibition at fairs, a race course, and a large grandstand. The baseball games are held on the diamond of this park, and the place being easily reached by means of the interurban cars, the games are well attended. This park will soon be further improved by building a dam across Sand creek which flows past the east side of the park. After this dam has been built the park wi ' .l be even more popular for picnics and pleasure parties. The tall elms furnish a most delightful shade during the summer season, this together with the comfortable seats and the carpet of luxurious bluegrass, presents a most inviting sight to the visitor. The Themian and MiMtary parks are each one block in extent, each having many trees and nice bluegrass, seats have been placed here and there under trees, affording cool resting places. There is a large fountain in Military park. There is also a large cannon and monument dedicated to the memory of departed soldiers in this park. Plans are under consideration to lay out and equip a play ground for school children in one of the public parks. The fund of voluntary contributions will soon make such an improvement possible. During the evenings of the summer season the Newton band gives delightful concerts in the parks and on the p ublic squares. Sacred concerts are sometimes given in some public hall on Sunday afternoons. These concerts are very largely attended and are greatly appre- ciated. The band has oeen organized years ago and has grown wonderfully since its inception. Newton is a city of beautiful homes with well shaded lawns, there being no lack of ornamental shade trees throughout the city. The lawns are dotted with beds of flowers and p ' ants which flourish in the mild climate of Sunny Kansas. On walking the residence streets, one cannot fail to note the exceptionally clean condition in which the lawns are kept. Efforts to keep the parkings and lawns in good condition are stimulated by rewards offered by the city to the one who keeps his lawn in the best condition. It is a custom to have a clean-up day when all refuse is put specified places and later hauled away in wagons furnished by the city. Certain societies offer prizes for the finest bed of flowers, and as a consequence flowers in great profusion are cultivated in many front and back yards, there being a special prize for the most attractive back yard. Very freqniently the back yards are further embellished by neat garages, there being very many automobiles in Newton. Autoists can make almost daily use of their cars, the city being situated at the crossing of the Santa Fe trail and the Meridian road. Auto tourists from states far distant often stop here and not a few times have they been heard to favorably remark on the general appearance of the city. Those from the eastern states especially comment on the excellent condition of the roads. Ample provision is made for auto tourists, there being four garages in the city. The people of Newton have not neglected their religious obligations, there being about twenty well-supported churches in the city. In some the services are entirely in German. Nearly every church has its young people ' s society or Bible study class and a Sunday school. The larger churches have various women ' s societies which are organized for different purposes. Some of these societies give an occasional ' dinner or entertainment to raise funds for the improvement of church property or some other worthy cause. A number of the congrega- tions regularly make music a special feature and enlist the services of a professional musician to direct that part of the worship. Four of the churches have pipe organs, others having either piancs or reed-organs or sing a capella. During the past few years several new church edifices have been erected, and some congregations are contemplating new buildings or extensions to be made in the near future. The Y. M. C. A. with its Sunday afternoon gatherings and its Bible clases is a valuable adjunct to the church. On one day of each week many busi- ness men assemble at the association building for luncheon, which is usually served by some church society. At these meetings some very interesting topics pertaining to the social welfare of the citizens are discussed. Daring the past winter very many of the students of Bethel and the city schools have availed themselves of the privilege of taking a course of systematic exercises in the well-equipped gymnasium under expert direction. With all these institutions and organizations establisl ed for the mutual benefit and welfare of its citizens with the entire absence of saloons and questionable resorts, and with the very atmosphere imb ed with the spirit of prosperity, progress, and culture, X ' Wton presents itself to you as an ideal city. Day break on the campus, Bright morning sun; Mists over Sand creek, Blue, dissolving, gone; Dew in the pastures, The lark is on the wing, Singing songs of gladness- Gay harbinger of spring. SPRING ON THE CAMPUS Robin in the orchard Guards with jealous care, His clay-walled twig house Securely hidden there. Listen to his music Ringing loud and clear! Home, nest and fledglings, Springtime is here. Students in the class room Sit with languid air; Down across the Kidron Stroll a truant pair; Books away to book-shelves, Balls and nets appear — Don ' t you think that spring-time Surely must be here? Trees stretch out their naked Fingers to the sun; Twigs their tender leaflets. Unfolding one by one; Gleams of golden sunshine Through the clouds and rain- These are happy tokens That spring is here again. Violets and daisies, In spite of frost and cold; All the grass bespangled With dandelion gold. Do the flowers whisper? Tell me — can you hear? This is what they ' re saying, Happy spring is here. Rose-tinted sunset. Quiet evening sky; Now over Hebron Deepening shadows lie. Listen! from the woodland There floats a soft, sweet strain. The turtle dove is cooing Spring is here again. -E. B. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET We see something stirring all day of the 25th of April, for it is the day of the banquet tendered hy the Academy Juniors to the Academy Seniors. Weeks, yes months ahead, have the staid Juniors been busily engaged in arranging the necessary preliminaries for this enjovable social function. At the set time, on the eventful night of the 25th, the Senior class arrives in a body, passing thru lanes of orange and black stream- ers before reaching the ' head of the stairs where the reception committee of the Juniors awaits and extends a most cordial fraternal wel- come In the chapel, which is tastefully decorated by artistically arranged pennants, soft, rich rugs which embelish the floor, easy chairs, rockers, divans and t ' aborets surmounted by potted plants that give the hall a most pleasing home-like appearance, a short social hour is spent. -u T-i , A few introductory words of welcome having been spoken by the Junior President, the assemblage, composed of the Faculty and the Senior and Junior classes, acting upon the suggestion of the Junior chief, once more passes thru the halls where the old orange and black prevails, into the library, which is most suitable as a dining room. Astounded are we by the genius and select choice of the Juniors, for this hall also is artfully decorated. Gracefully festooned from chandeliers and pillars are streamers of blue and gray, the Juniors ' class colors. Potted plants and rugs are suitably placed about the room, the library shelves are all screened off from the dining room proper by tapestries and pennants. Over the six especially arranged tables are strewn masses of violets, the Juniors ' favorite flowers, and serving as center pieces for the table are vases containing magnificent white roses, the Senior class flowers. Having found places at the table by the aid of dainty Utile place cards which are in the form of menus and programs combined, the first course of a sumptous repast is enjoyed. Three courses of ma- terial gratification are served, interspersed by courses of intellectual satisfaction in the forms of toasts. The speakers having been cleverly introduced by the toast-mistress, Miss Alice Martin, the Cass sponsor, the following toasts are given: The Seniors, Mrs. D. H. Richert. Co-operation, D. B. Hess. A Theme in Variations, D. A. Hirschler. The Unexpected, Pres. J. W. Kliewer. Misfits, H. L. Stump. . . Politics, C. C. Regier. The Ambition of the Senior Class, Gustav Haury. Shortly following the banquet is rendered a short program in the chapel, with variations from music to readings. As a climax a farcial prophecy, entitled The ' 13 ' s in ' 33, is given, members of the Junior o ' .iss acting the roll of 1913 Seniors in 1933. The .Juniors of 1913 can be commented upon their admirable method of entertainment, upon their courage and grit, being that the work of arranging the decorations, forming of plans, and the carrying out of the plans was divided between the fourteen Juniors.

Fast Manager, A. H. H SCHOOL OPENS Larger Enrollment Than Ever Before The school year opened under most favorable circumstances. The enroll- ment was larger than ever before in the history of the school, the student body surpassing the 1000 mark. At the opening exercises thirty states of the Union were represented, besides students from Canada, Mexico, E:ng- land, Japan, Cuba and Alaska. We have all been greatly interested in the growth of our school and have been delighted and surprised to see building after building go up on our dear old campus. One of the latest additions is the magnificent and massive Main Hall. The faculty has also been en- larged, consisting now of 57 members. Among the new instructors of this year, Miss Emma Linscheid, the sci- ence teacher, is especially noteworthy. She graduated from Bethel in 1913 and received her B. S. at Vassar in 1917. She then taught at Oberlin for five years, but when the call from Bethel came, she promptly respected her old vlma Mater and gave up her previous position. We all hope that the school ,vill continue in its growth. Received Inheritance.

Schmidt, of that place. Rev. G. Dun- kelberger of Newton, Kansas, perform- ed the sacred rite. The happy couple started on their honeymoon in one of the grooms latest creations, a large balloon, intending to cross the Atlan- tic, traverse Eoirope and Asia and re- turn by way of the Pacific. A message was received yesterday that on the third day out of New York city, an ex- plosion caused by the expansion of gas, due to the action of the sun ' s rays, occurred. Human skill failing to ward off the danger, the balloon turn- ed sideways and descended into the water at a terrific speed. The acci- dent was observed by the Queen Elizabeth of the New York and Liver- pool line, which was making a record- breaking trip to Europe The couple, clinging to what was left of the wood structure, was picked up by the liner, and when Mr. Schmidt turned to speak to the captain, he found him to be none other than his dear oid friend at Bethel, C. D. Voran. The unlucky cou- ple is pursuing its honeymoon un- daunted. Received Garb. Last Sunday Miss Susie Haury re- ceived her garb aS ' a deaconess at Be- atrice, Nebraska. Miss Haury has just completed a four-year course in the Mennonite Deaconess Hospital of that place and is intending to continue her work there. Concert to Be Rendered by Music Teachers.

THE SEASON ' S ATTRACTION Mile, van der Smissen to Appear Here The great Prima Donna Mile. Frieda van der Smissen will appear in the Opera Hall here next Tuesday. The Newtonians should not miss this one great opportunity of hearing this fam- ous singer. Her power lies not only in her magnificent contralto voice, but in the intense feeling she puts into her words. She made her first public ap- pearance in the Albert Hall, London, when a girl of 23. Two years before she had been awarded the Royal Scholarship of 400 guineas, which had won over her parents to her ambition for a career. The strength and depth of her voice fairly startled London and critics vie with each other in praising the new musical star. Do not let such an opportunity pass unheeded. Get your tickets NOW.
