Page Ticenty-five TKey All Admit It It was a warm, sunny day in mid-February. Tlie 1;)iting cold of zero weather and the cutting, piercing, characteristic Kansas wind of the past week had given way to an atmosphere that was bahny and soothing, as well as strongly invigorat- ing. The day might well be mistaken for an inevitable sign of spring but for the fact that it was February. On this morning it happened that two friends, John and Jay, business men of the thriving little city of Newton, met on their way to work. John, big, healthy and alert, was smiling broadly ; his eyes twinkled merrily ; he seemed keenly alive to the fact that old Mother Nature had truly been good to man in presenting him with the possibilities of a day like the one in question. Jay, small, weazened, and dyspeptic, was frowning deeply ; his narrow, piercing eyes showed no sign of pleasantness ; he seemed to view with displeasure old Mother Nature ' s efiforts to produce such works of art as were displayed about him everywhere. It was very plain to a close observer that Jay was a confirmed pessimist — just as much so as John was of the opposite variety. Good morning. Jay, hailed John, as he fell in step with his friend. Mornin ' , growled Jay in response. What ' s the matter? You surely can ' t be feeling bad on a morning like this, said John in evident surprise. Well, I suppose I don ' t feel any worse than I always do with weather like this, responded Jay sullenly. What! Do you mean to tell me that you are on the ' outs ' with weather like this? and for an instant a pained expression seemed to flit across John ' s face. To be sure, was Jay ' s reply, who wouldn ' t be? Here it is, cold one day and warm the next. Finest thing on earth to give a man a cold, pneumonia, or what not. I suppose one of these ' nice ' days the fruit trees will begin to bloom, and then a little cold snap will cause another failure. And thus went all the conversation. From the squirrel that hopped briskly across his path and the sparrow that chirped shrilly over head, to the sidewalks he trod upon and the people he passed — for them all Jay had but frowns and growls, until the verv atmosphere around him seemed permeated and saturated with pessimism. John made one last effort to wring from the lips of his companion an optimistic word. But even his reference to the brilliant work of Bethel ' s basket- ball team the night before brought down but a storm of contempt for colleges in general. Finallv he asked, You would not class all of the many splendid types of college students in your hopeless list, would you? For several steps Jay walked in silence. Then turning to John with the first smile of the morning, he replied: No. I would make one exception. 1 can find no. fault with the present Sophomore class of Bethel. They are all one could expect in every particular. Page Twenty-six Motto: We Not Only Think, But Act. Class Flower : Red Rose. • Class Colors : Maroon and Black.

As Academy Juniors we are modest enough to admit that all the other classes, both College and Academy, are essentials in the educational organization of Bethel, in fact as necessary as we ourselves. But we maintain for ourselves that in the great clock-work of education there are : main spring, wheels, pendu- lum or balance wheel, dial and hands, and that none of these parts are complete without the supplement or complement of one or the other. We do not want to dogmatize or assert that we are the main spring or even the balance wheel in this institution, but we strongly uphold that we are at least a cog. in the timepiece of the human race, upon which depends the accuracy of the time shown on the dial. The Junior class believes that the classes of an institution, such as our Alma Mater, must, like the winning football team, do team work, if they ever expect to attain the common goal — the bettering of social, moral and religious conditions about us, through our influence in whatever direction it may tend to flow. And though the Juniors are not praised, like the Seniors, for wit and wis- dom, they have by this time emerged far from the Freshman tribulations of quit and quiz-dom. Compared with the Sophomore year it may seem droll ; now they see the doughnut, then they saw the hole. This, in short, we hold to be our relationship to the other classes. We faith- fully believe that when we have completed the round through this mill, we shall come out polished and refined by the process. J. A. S.

Page Forty-six Page Forty-seven Page Fnrly-riglit Page Forty-nine TKe Department Of Music Under the leadership of Prof. A. D. Schmutz. the lusic Department of Bethel Colle£?e has shown a decided increase during the past two years it is the aim of this department to give the participants not only a technical knowledge, but an understanding of the art which will create a greater love for and apprecia- tion of the beautiful, as expressed in music, on the part of any whom it may reach. The standards and ideals which the department endeavors to maintain, are such that will serve as an incentive to more refined thinking and nobler hvmg. The Music Department has used to great advantage the large victrola ac- quired for the class in appreciation of music, and by means of which operas in their entirety are brought right to the students. This gives them the opportunity to study the best there is in music. Page Fifty MELBA DUNKELBERGER Newton, Kansas Miss Dunkelberger is a Sophomore in the Diploma Course, but took her Teach- er ' s Certificate when she gave her piano recital. She has been the piano accom- panist of the Oratorio Society for the past two years. ■ . . Artist ' s Course The Music Department followed the example of previous years by offering to the music lovers, not only of Bethel, but of the city of Newton, a very pleasing and instructive Artist ' s Course. The course this vear consisted of these numbers : Nov. 20 — Pasquale Tallarico Pianist Jan. 29 — France Allan Wheeler Baritone Lois Brown Pianist Winston Wilkinson Violinist Feb. 27 — Fenetta Sargent Haskell Reader Mar. 27 — Alberto Salvi Harpist Helen Brown Read Soprano Edith Harris ' . Accompanist The department was fortunate in securing these four delightfully pleasing numbers. I Paffe Fifty-one Oratorio Society A. D. ScHMUTZ, Director Hilda Schmidt Katheryn Dotson Katheryn Wiens Melba Dnnkelberger Oi ' Sianists Pianists The Oratorio Society has been organized for the purpose of rendermg an- nually a standard oratorio or cantata. The society numbers 150 voices and holds its rehearsals weekly. All students are urged to attend these meetings, not only to receive the training but to become more thoroughly acquainted with the works of the masters. The following oratorios and cantatas have been given by the society ni past years: Creation, Messiah, Redemption, St. Paul. Stabat Mater, the Crusaders, Hia- watha ' s Wedding Feast, Elijah, Eli, Judas Maccabaeus, Seven Last Words of Christ Hymn of Praise, Frank ' s Redemption, Gounod ' s St. Cecelia ' s Mass, Eas- ter Cantata, Mendelssohn ' s Christus, Gaul ' s Holy City, Bach ' s Gottes Zeit, Soul Triumphant, A Song of Victory and Out of Darkness.

The instrumentation : there are wind and reed instruments as well as violins, mandolins, and piano. An organization of this kind can truly be called part of the school training, because it gives its members valuable experience besides entertaining, whenever it is demanded, the student body and the general public. The orchestra, under the direction of Nelson W. Krehbiel, rendered selec- tions at various occasions, besides giving a free concert at the May Day cele- bration.

Last year the band was under the direction of Prof. Roy Colton of Newton. Several concerts were given and met with success. This year it is under the direction of Prof. Herbert Rickert, who is the leader of the Newton Municipal band and also of various other organizations of the surrounding communities. The band plays at football games, rallies, concerts, etc., and their work has always been well re- ceived. It is hoped that the future will bring a still larger measure of success to the band. Page Fifty-six Department of Art Art instruction has been offered this year in oil, water color, china, mechani- cal drawing, and normal drawing. The latter course though new. has proved to be very beneficial to such as are intending to teach. Free hand drawing of illus- trations for many stories, raffia work, and the making of furniture have fur- nished prospective teachers with original ideas for making pleasant and simple the various branches of learning. Such a course should prove to be very popu- lar, not only among the normal students of the winter term, but also among the teachers attending the summer school session. This year twenty-three charts were completed in mechanical drawing. In lettering, ditTerent alphabets were acquired, later the poster work being taken up. Charcoal was the beginning for all color work for it taught the student to see light and shadow in the black and white first and later in color. Several very interest- ing days of outdoor sketching were taken up. Page Fifty-seven The obiect of a course in art, no matter of what nature, should be to teach the student the underlying principles of painting, not to secure, on the part of the student a reat number of finished products. liss Hu.ick has successAilly ap- plied thi method aiming to train her students to work for themselves Famtmg is then not merely a temporary pleasure but a permanent acquisition.

C. BiNET OF College Section One of the most necessary student organizations of the school is the Oratori- cal Union. As the name implies the aim of the Union is to increase the efficiency of the student in the art of public speaking. In order to attain this aim it fosters the interest of debating, and of oratorical, reading, essay and short story contests. Prizes are offered in each of these contests in order to give added impetus to the student to enter them. In order to further the interest of debating the Union provides for several intercollegiate debates every vear. Last year two intercollegiate debates were held. One with Cooper and ' the other with Friends. An inter-academy debate was also held with Southwestern Academy. During this year a college pentangular debate between the colleges has been arranged for: McPherson, Friends, Cooper, Fairmount and Bethel. This pentan- o-ular arrangement will be in force for two years. Also three inter-academy de- bates have been arranged for, a triangular debate between McPherson, Tabor and Bethel Academy and a dual debate with Southwestern Academy. Greater ' enthusiasm has been shown in debating this year than ever before. Cab inet of Academj) Section Above— Haury, Debate; Lohrentz, Essay. Below— Tangeman. Association Secretary and Treasurer; Becker, Vice President; Balzer, Reading. Other contests that will be held this year are the Essay, Short Story, and reading contests. Each of these contests is very promising. Besides these contests the Union has undertaken the financing of a high-class Educational Lecture Course every alternate year. In 1915-1916, the following lectures appeared : . . Christianity and War, Dr. Noble Strong Elderkin. The Ideal Teacher, Dr. Luther Weigle. Interesting Animals of the Sea Coast, Prof. Wm. J. Baumgartner. Alaska, Uncle Sam ' s Frontier Paradise, Prof. Lowell Jackson Thomas. These lectures, besides keeping the students in touch with other schools, in- spire the students toward high and noble ideals.

Debating Council ■ ■ READING The reading contest in past years has always proved to be the most popular contest conducted by the Oratorical Union. Last year an exceptionally interest- inp; contest was held, Edmund Flickner placing first and Chris Kliewer second. Pr(3spects are that this year ' s contest will surpass former contests. - - ESSAY This is the first year that the Academy and College have had separate con- tests. A larger nuniber of students from both departments have entered this year than ever before. As the contest is held late in the year results cannot be stated. , ■ , . SEIORT STORY Original stories of fifteen hundred words or over are required from students who enter this contest. It is proving especially interesting to those in the Fresh- man Rhetoric class, since they de vote a part of their time to the study of the short story. Several students have already entered the contest for this year. The contest closes on May 21.

The State Oratorical Contest The Kansas Intercollegiate Oratorical Association is a part of the larger organization, known as the Interstate ( )ratorical Association. The I. O. A. is made up of the state associations of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Kansas. The Kansas Intercollegiate Oratorical Association is composed of the local associations of Cooper, Bethany, Ottawa, McPherson, Friends, State Normal, College of Emporia, Southwestern, Baker, Midland, Kansas Wesleyan. Washburn. Fairmount and Bethel Colleges. Each year these colleges have a state contest. This year (1917) for the first time in the history of our college, Bethel was represented in the state contest. Maurice Benfer, the winner of our local contest, made a good showing in the state contest. Considering the rapid growth of our college along all lines, we feel safe in saying that it is only a matter of time when some student of Bethel will not only receive the honor of winning the state con- test, but, due to his oratorical ability, he will also bring to Bethel the silver cup granted to the winner of the interstate contest. The contest this year was held in Newton under the auspices of Bethel College. Page Sixty-seven AlpKa Beta McAllister, Hunter. Sccond—ianzen. Kliewer, Molzen, Ringelman, Sch Bf ow— Martin.

At present the organization is in a most prosperous and flourishing con- dition. The girls take great interest in the activities of the school, be they scholastic, religious or social, and do their part toward keeping things going. This year Miss Matilda Kliewer, who very ably represented us in the oratorical contest, won second place. Miss Kliewer was also a member of one of the win- ning Pentangular Debating teams. Our work is ever increasing in quality and quantity and we expect to do better and yet better. DelpKian Tof —A. Wedel, H. B. Unruh, Fast, H, T. Unruh, Erb. iMiddle—Uaury, Schmidt, E.

In 1911 the Delphian Literary Soc ' ety was organized by a small group of college men. Ever since that tiine the society has been earnestly active, becom- ing more and more efficient each year. Its organization marks the establishment of the proper form of bterary culture in Bethel. The purposes of the Delphian are manifold. Its primary object is to give the members culture in debate and parliamentary exercise. In order to accomplish this aim, cjuestions of interest are studied and discussed at the regular weekly meetings. Opportunity is also given for reading and music for those who desire culture along those lines. It is the custom of the society to elect officers e very nine weeks, therebv giving each mem- ber a chance to hold several different offices during his period of membership. A program is rendered every Monday evening, and since the society numbers only twenty, its members necessarily appear upon the program frequently. Although the society has no home of its own. the class room in which the meetings are held, is given a pleasing and artist ' c aspect by the pictures and pennants which decorate the walls. The members realize that the training gained bv such work is invalu- able and they look forward to a future crowned with success not only for the soci- ety but for themselves on account of the culture received in this organization.

The Alethian Literary Society was organized seven years ago and has faith- fully kept up its work every year. It now consists of thirty industrious members. The purpose of the society is to give its members practice in performing in pub- lic with grace and ease. It is rare indeed that the members of the Alethian society render a punk program. The programs are of various kinds, consisting at dififerent times of debate, essay, recitations, news, extemporaneous speaking, and music. The societv meets every two weeks and in order not always to see and hear girls only, a joint program with the Athenian was given. In th ' s it was seen that the Alethians were not lagging behind for they won the debate from the Athenians. There is no doubt that the society is living up to its name • ' Alethia n, seekers of truth and wisdom. Top — Buhler, Gaeddert, Smith, Nikkei, Funk, Balzer.

Instead of meeting once a week, it now meets only every other week, a change which has proved to be a great advantage. The society renders an efficient program in such Hnes as music, reading, extemporaneous speeches, debates, dia- logues, essays and story telling. The society does not confine itself to literary work onlv, but also goes on hikes where the members get a chance to develop socially. We find that these hikes or outings give the boys a great chance to acquire self-respect and respect for others which is a great factor in the social life of man in and out of school. Th- societv has developed a high standard of work this year, and we hope that higher ideals will encourage development beyond this standard. Top — Stucky, Goering, J. Becker, E.

The Philomathian Soc ' ety was organized in the fall of 1911 and ha.s been active continuously since that time. For an Academy Literary, the society main- tains a high standard of efficiency. The society has always been active in the support of Bethel ' s literary activities, especially public literary programs and in- terscholastic debates, and the members rather pride themselves on this fact. In 1915, three out of four Academy debaters were Philomathians. In 1916, all of the Academy debaters who won against Southwestern were Philomathians. In the musical activities of the school various Philomathians have been promi- nent. It is to this continued interest in the progressive literary activities of Bethel that present and ex-members of the Philomath-ans attribute the success of the organization.

The Lincoln Debating Society was organized in the beginning of the school year 1916- ' 17. The purpose of this organization is to stimulate the interest and develop the art of debating. Although the membership is comparatively small, the interest and desire shown by the members to really accomplish something in the line of debating, is enough to repay the troubles which had to be overcome in organizing the club. Then, too, since the membership is comparatively small, each member re- ceives more and better training by actually serving on the program. Meetings are held regularly every other week on Monday night. The pro- o-rams given usuallv consist of a debate and, at times, varied with musical selec- tions. In order to get familiar with present problems, as well as practice for debate, questions that are of recent consideration are taken. With the interest shown at present we hope and believe that the interest for this art will continue to grow in the years to come. Page Seventy-fmir Der Deutsche Verein ObcH — A.

Die zvvei- wochentHchen Versammhmgen gestalten sich meistens sehr angenehm. Es werden deutsche Volksheder gesungen, Vortrage gehalten, lyrisehe Gedichte und Balladen vorgetragen, Geschichten gelesen, u. s. w. Auf diese Weise versucht der Verein, das Deutschtum und die deutsche Sprache in unserer Anstalt neu zubeleben und zu fordern, die Aufmerksamkeit der GHeder auf die grossten deutschen Dichter und Schriftsteller zu lenken und Liebe fiir deutsche Poesie und Kunst zu wecken. Dass wahre deutsche Poesie und echte Kunst sowohl innerlialb als auch ausserhalb der Schule in unsern Kreisen eine bleibende Statte finden, dass die Reichtiimer und Schatze unserer schonen Sprache und ihre grossten Meister uns immer teurer werden mochten, — das ist das Ziel des Deutschen Vereins.

The Science Club is an organization which includes both faculty, members and upper class students particularly interested in science. Its main object is to assist the students in keeping in touch with the scientific progress of the day and to promote research work among its members. In view of this purpose the club has at every meeting a report of the latest investigations, experiments and inven- tions in science. The club also has at each meeting several individual discussions of some of the most striking topics in the different sciences. These individual discussions are generally followed by a few minutes of general discussion. The following are only a few of the topics which have been discussed during the past year: The New Alchemy. Hair, Cancer, Mathematical Recreations, an Historical Sketch of B ' ology, the Relative Alemory, Value of Duplicaf on and Va- riation in Advertising, and Some Interesting Aspects of the Siderial Universe. In order to have a little variation in the program a so-called Stunt program is given each vear. This kind of a program is especially popular with the students. I Page Sevfiity-six y. M. C A.

Bible and Mission study classes have been conducted. A class for the study of teaching Bible classes has been organized for the first time. Sev- eral groups of girls are planning to conduct clubs this summer, thereby giving the girls in their home communities a touch of college and Y. VV. C. A. life. Our Christmas offering was in the form of a pledge for the Prison Camp Re- lief, for which over sixty dollars was raised. As a celebration of the first anni- versary of National membership, the cabinet gave a birthday party in Alumni Hall, the proceeds of which will help pay the expenses of a delegate to the Summer Conference at Hollister, Mo.

Y. ] :[. C. A. CABINET The Yotmg- Men ' s Christian Association is one of the biggest and most im- portant organizations at the college. It includes among its meinbers practically all the men students and also the faculty men. Throughout the year it tries to minister to the spiritual, soc ' al and individual needs of the young men. To meet the spiritual needs we have arranged for voluntary Bible and Mission study classes which are always quite interesting and well attended. Then we have our regu- lar association meetings which aim to develop spiritual growth and genuine Chris- tian fellowship. Other meetings, like the prayer and devotional meetings, are con- ducted with the same end in view. F urther factors that help in fostering a spirit of fellowship and co-operation are our Y. M. C. A. room and the various socials given during the year. Besides this the association provides for various activ ' ties. Du ring the last two years we have sent out three Gospel teams to various places ditring the winter recess. One was at ! ' Ioundridge, another was at Alexanderwohl. and another went to Durham. Another way in which the men are given a chance to help is in the matter of giving. Bes ' des giving $50.00 to the support of a native missionary in India, the association has given considerable amounts to the Prison Camp Work in Europe, and also to the Armenian Relief Work. The Department of Community Service tries to lend a helping hand wherever possible, especially in the matters of employment, cases of sickness and welcoming new students. In a general wav the association tries to be the unselfish servant of the best interests of the men in school.

The work done by the Student V olunteer Band this year has been similar to that done by the band in former years. The first semester Mr. Friesen was presi- dent and Mr. Duerksen secretary. Weekly meetings were held at which either some member of the band discussed some missionary topic, or a talk was givn bv some outsider. Among these were professors, ministers and missionaries. Depu- tation work was begun early in the year. Programs were given in nearby churches. The officers of the second semester were Mr. Goering, president, and Miss r.ohrentz, secretary.

Thus far the work of the Mennonites in the Home Mission Field has been small, compared with that of other denominations. More interest has been given to Foreign Mission work and many to whom the foreign field was an impossi- bility have felt that the door of Missions had closed upon them. Let it be remem- bered, however, that there is a vast field of opportunity within our own bounda- ries and that those who cannot go to India ' s coral strand or Africa ' s sunny shores can still find work before our very doors. It is with this idea of promoting interest in and studying the various needs of Home and City Mission work that the Home Mission Band has continued its meetings this year. It has studied the book Christianizing the Social Order, by Walter Rauschenbusch and has met once a week to discuss the social and moral problems of our nation. In the latter part of the year the band expects to render programs in the neighboring churches as has been the custom in previous years. It is hoped that great enthusiasm will thus be aroused. r Paffg Eighty I I Gospel T( Top Row — W. Voth, Heidebrecht, Regier, Gaeddert. Lmvcr Ro7t ' —Goenng Unriih, J. J. Voth. One of the various phases in which the rehgious life of Bethel finds expres- sion is the Gospel Team work. This work has become an annual feature of the religious activities of the student body. It consists in choosing, training and send- ing a team of six or seven men into a small town or country district usually during Christmas vacation. Tampa, Kansas, was the field selected this year. The days on the field were spent in calling at homes, mixing with the life and work of the commun ' ty. Each day Gospel meetings were held at wdiich three or four of the team members gave short talks and a quartet out of the team sang three or four songs. The results showed in the actual efifect in the community as well as in the reaction upon the men who went. BETHEL COLLEGE SHORT BIBLE COURSE ■ ' ' During the past three winters Bethel College has conducted a short course consisting of classroom work and special lectures in the study of the Bible. The work consists in the main of a regular schedule of classroom instruc- tion. Thus far some of the following subjects have been discussed: A Pauline Epistle. I John, An Introduction to the Old Testament, Homiletics, The Life of Christ, The Early Prophets, Practical Nursing and Sunday School Methods. Besides the work of the classroom, evening programs are arranged for. These are usually lectures along some line of general interest like missions. Mis- sionary P. J. W-ens and Missionary P. W. Penner, both of India, have given illustrated lectures in the past. An outside lecturer has each year presented a series of lectures. The first year Dr. Munz gave a series on Moses. The second year Dr. Volmer spoke on the Social Teachings of Jesus, and the past year Dr. Volmer again visited us giving a series on Paul ' s Letter to the Romans . These lectures have always drawn a large number of hearers. The closing number on the program has usually been a song service in charge of the music department of the college. Pat e Eiglity-one Page Eitj ity-liuo ATHLETICS COACH SCHROEDER Page Eighty-three Our g-ymnasium is held in high esthnat ' on by all students at Bethel. It offers opportunity for physical exercise and development, which, without it, would be badlv neglected. Todav physical training has a place in the regular curriculum of the school. Coach Schroeder, who during several years has instructed the students in physr ' cal training, has engendered in the heart of every student a high appreciation for the work. We regret that this is the last year that Coach Schroeder is with us. But we hope that the appreciation, which he has aroused for the work, will remain ever high in the student body in the coming years. Physical health has received a considerat ' on during several years, which before was left entirely to the student himself. The gymnasium offers facilities not only for regular class training, but also for the expression of voluntary life in basketball, tennis, running, wrestling and jumping. May the students make the best use of these facilities which the school now offers through the gymnasium. Page Eic hty-four AtKletic Board I op Unruh, Haury, Niles. Below— Frof.

It admits the students to all school activities including Oratorical contests, Debates, Reading contests, and all Athletic games. By doing this it gives to the individual student a value of $4.80 for $3.00, which is the price at which the ticket was sold. Each student has found in the ticket a great value, not only from the pecuniary standpoint, but also in the fact that it gives to every holder of a ticket the membership to the Oratorical Associat ' on and Athletic z ' Vssociation. About 170 tickets were sold to students and friends of the school. In this way enough money was raised for the support of all student activities. This did away with the cumbersome means of raishig funds and the issuing of tickets for each separate program. The new experiment with the Student Activity Ticket has proved a great success, which will assure the future of the student activities of the school.

The year 1915-T6 was Bethel ' s second year of football, yet the Hve interest which the students showed for football made it a successful year. A few scrim- mage games were played with the Newton High School. Aside from these. Bethel played the Cooper team, the Fairmount first team, and the Fairmount second team. Though the team was composed largely of new and inexperienced men, it made rapid progress. In the games played it showed surprising skill and strength. With renewed courage and interest we hope to make the coming years a success in football. Page Eighty-six Football Squad, 1916-1917 Top — Lichti, Eymann, Lichti, Spenst, Gaeddert.

Again a large num- ber of our old football men had not returned and the team had to be composed of new men. This was a drawback to the skill and strength of the team. The games played were lost by Bethel. But this failure to win a game did not discourage the men. By hard and continuous drill the team was rapidly pro- gressing, until the last game of the season was played against a strong team from Fairmount College. Though Bethel did not win the game, the team held Fairmount to a score of 6-0, which showed that our team had acquired a strength which was equal to that of its opponents.

This past season was the most successful season in intercollegiate basketball. Of the eight games plaved only one was lost by Bethel. Bethel finished second in the Kansas Conference. The last game of the season was one of the fastest games ever played on our home floor. It was a fitting finish for a season so successful. The team which has so ably represented Bethel in intercollegiate basketball this season was com- posed of the following men : Penner, Rempel. f ; E. Lichti, c ; G. Haury, g ; Becker, g.

The team was selected from a large number of experi- enced players, thus it was composed of the best baseball men at Bethel. A second team was organized which at regular times played practice games w ' th the first team. The regular schedule included games with Friends, Fairmount. McPherson and Cooper. Two games each were played with Friends, Cooper and McPherson and one with Fairmount. The season was very successful and inspired the stu- dents with new spirit and interest for ' ' nter-collegiate baseball. Page Nniety-three Baseball Squad 1916-17 7„ ,_Challens.

The successful season of basket- ball has created a determination to make the baseball season equally successful. The team has not been selected as yet, but there is a large number of candidates for the team. Just how strong a team can be put tip this year cannot be stated yet. But the determ;nation to make this a successful season will help much in the making of a strong team. As soon as the weather permits, outdoor work, regular practice will be started. A complete schedule for this year has not been arranged as yet. There are prospects, however, for a schedule of ten regular games, two each with McPher- son College of McPherson, Friends U of Wichita, Fairmount College of Wich- ita, St. Johns of Winfield. and Southwestern College of Winfield. Page Ninety-four Harry Becker Tennis is a game for botli men and lady students. The exercise which it af- fords is less strenuous than that of other games, but equally enjoyable and attrac- tive. More students indulge in this game at Rethel than in any other game. Each year a series of tournaments is arranged and through these interest is stimulated in the game. In the fall of 1916-T7 about forty men entered the single tournaments. Harry Becker won the championship of the season. Compe- tition for the championship was strong and the honor was well earned. This spring plans are under way for both double and single tournaments. It is also planned to secure tournaments with other colleges. For these tournaments the best of our players will be selected. These contests should be quite successful as a large number of men are interested in tennis and able contestants can be found among them. This has been a very successful year in all other athletics and we hope to make it equally successful in tennis. i Page Ninety-five Girls G3?m A rational physical education is one that aims at tlie obvious needs of the girls, and usfs activities best suited to the girl ' s motor mechanism. One that is adapted to the conditions of the college and is in harmony with accepted educa- tional principles. In the gymnasium the girls use dumb bells, Indian clubs, wands, and enjoy basketball, volley-ball and tennis. They are also given a physical examination and corrective exercises where needed. Advantages gained through gymnasium work are systematic development of the muscles and alertness of both mind and body. It maintains and increases health and develops organic strength. Greater development of skill, courage, de- termination and other mental qualities is secured. The girls are taught First Aid to the Injured and Personal Hygiene. Mrs. E. L. Mullins, who has had ' a number of years of experience and is also a graduate of Charity Hospital, New Orleans, has charge of the Gir ls Gymnasium work. Paije Ninety-six Paoe Ninelv-seven Alumni The Alumni Association of Bethel College has just lately interested itself di- rectly in giving financial aid to Bethel College. Individual members have, of course, done this right along, but the organization as such has not made a factor in the financial development of their alma mater. And there is a reason for this, namely, over 75% of the graduates are missionaries, ministers and teachers and the compensation they receive has been such that it has been impossible for them to do what thev would liked to have done. What they have been unable to do in a monetary way, has been doubly made up in their loyalty toward Bethel by strongly recommending the College to prospective students and speaking good words for it whenever and wherever opportunity presented itself. In fact they did not wait for the opportunity, but made one wherever possible. And yet, if others were to give as freely in proportion to their ability as these, the financial status of Bethel today would be such as to leave no need for worry. An increasing number of graduates are now entering other fields than those ment ' oned above, where the remuneration is greater and these are giving quite freely. So the Alumni Association is beginning to make itself felt and rendering valuable service to the school. Alumni Hall stands on the college campus as the first building presented to Bethel by her graduates. The association has done something really worth while in this. The buHding is used as a hall for gatherings and for gymnasium pur- poses. It means much to the student body and there is absolutely no question but that its erection has helped very materially to increase Bethel ' s enrollment. The association will, from time to time take up other matters and push them to a suc- cessful conclusion. . . ■ ■ ' ' Each member should constantly be in close touch with Bethel and with the Alumni Association. All we can do for and give to Bethel, only in a very small measure repays what we have received at her hands. So let us catch the spirit, be ever true and loyal and then Bethel will continue to grow and prosper in the future as she has in the past. - R- A. G.
