W. KLIICWICR, President-Elect I In March the Directors of Bethel College unanimously asked Reverend J. W. Klie- I 5 wer to again become the president of Bethel. When several weeks later it was an- I nounced that Reverend liliewer had accepted, all loyal Bethelites breathed a prayer of gratitude. Why does his selection meet with such general and hearty approval? Reverend Kliewer is exceptionally acquainted with Bethel, he knows her strength E and her weakness, her problems and her opportunities. He will be able to take his position and assume the duties of his office without losing' time in getting his bearings. He is a teacher of ability and such will help the student find and use his own talents. i As a minister he has a clarity of thought that is unique, and a presentation that is Q convincing and persuasive. Reverend liliewer is neither too conservative nor too radical. He is old enough to have tested many theories in the school of experienceg he is young enough to fully I- understand and appreciate the enthusiasm of inexperienced youth. He has unusual p: ability in analyzing' and estimating a person or a situation. When others come to him E' with their problems he is a good listener, he has good counsel and sound advice for all I who ask it of him, His outlook upon life is optimistic, not that he regards the forces L- of evil lightly, but that his faith in God is broad and deep. lj For many years the president-elect has been a recognized leader in the affairs of V the Mennonite denomination. He has been regarded everywhere with respect and con- g fidence. Because of this estimation the students, the faculty, and the constituency I look forward to an administration that will result in much sane, wholesome, and pros- perous school life. , .

'l4'zu1'11ly-lfim' , B ifoilgmoinfoom W i THE FOUNDING OF BETHEL COLLEGE At the time when various religious denominations of Kansas were planning to build schools the better situated towns of the state vied with each other in trying to secure a college ior their community. To this end attractive financial offers were made -the town making the best offer securing the college. In much. the same way the Mennonites received an offer from the 'fHalstead College Association for the free use of certain buildings for a certain period of time. This offer was accepted and the Mennonitische Fortbildungsschulen was temporarily located at Halstead. When the time for the free use of the Halstead buildings was about to expire the Educational committee of the Kansas Mennonite Conference was compelled to consider the future of higher education among the Men- nonites. The experiences which this Committee had already had in the financial management of the 'Tortbildungsschulel' made them realize the need of an endowment fund which would insure a definite income. They also considered an extension of the curriculum necessary, due to the in- ability of the l-Tortbildungsschule' to meet the demands of Mennonite youths for a higher education. These two considerations in addition to the imperative need of a more permanent location for the school caused the committee to decide, on March 23, 1887, that incorporation of the school was necessary as a primary step to the solution of the problem before them. On April Z0 of the same year it was decided that the school should be incorporated under the name Bethel College. According to the first annual report of the Board of Directors of Bethel College the Newton College Association' made the Mennonites an offer of 120 acres of land plus a sum of 315,000 toward the erection of a college building. The two conditions attached to this offer were C11 that a college building worth not less than 9,850,000 be erected, and 1211 that in this building the Mennonites maintain a first class college by means of a fund that should assure the continuance of the college. The Newton offer was presented to the Kansas Mennonite Conference at a special session held April 27, 1887. However, the Conference felt un- able to undertake any financial obligation and to many the entire under- taking seemed impossible, so the cause of the proposed Bethel College seemed lost. But toward the end of the session several friends of the cause of education who felt very deeply in the matter suggested that if the Conference as such did not have the courage to go on in this matter probably a group of private persons might form a corporation and try to carry on the project. The Conference now voted to accept the Newton offer with the understanding that a corporation would be formed which would undertake to incorporate, build and manage Bethel College. After the close of the Conference session a group of men formed a Verein and immediately began work on a Corporation Act. On May 11, 1887, the charter was presented to about thirty men from various Men- nonite congregations who approved and signed it. As soon as the State of Kansas had placed its seal upon the charter the Board of Directors started building plans. On Oct. 12, 1888, the cornerstone was laid and five years later on Sept. 29, 1893, the building was dedicated. More than sixty stu- dents were enrolled the first day. There has been growth and improvement since then but it will be well for this generation to remember the ideal placed before them by the found- ers of the school, namely, that Bethel be made a First Class College.

A ifoiuinmoiifoon 1 as THE ACADEMY DEPARTMENT The Academy primarily serves the purpose of preparing students for college. At the same time it furnishes the student with such instruction and training as will give him a general fund of knowledge and fit him for the duties of life. It offers many advantages to students which are not available in high schools. The laboratories and the library of the College are open to them and the Departments of Music and Art offer exceptional opportunities to those who desire to take the work in these Departments. The Academy students also enjoy the benefits of lectures, chapel talks, recitals, Bible study classes, etc., which is in itself a privilege of inestimable value. The College environment furnishes an ideal incentive and an unlifting influence for the young student. Also greater emphasis can be placed on moral and religious training than is possible in the high school. Two courses are offered, the College Preparatory Course and the General Academy Course. The College Preparatory Course offers a four- year course equivalent to the high school course of the state, and as the name implies, fits its students for admission to the Freshman year of col- lege. The General Academy Course does not admit the student to the col- lege but it gives more freedom in selection of courses. It is chiefly intended for students who do not wish to continue their education beyond the Acad- emy. The curriculum includes one unit of Manual Training. Sixteen units are required for graduation, one unit of which must be Bible. Formerly the President of the College was also the supervisor of the Academy, and many of the College teachers taught high school branches. This arrangement has been rather unsatisfactory for several reasons. The matter of certification of teachers, as well as reports to the State Board, presented many difficulties. Frequently a change of teachers in the Col- lege necessitated a change in the Academy. For these reasons it has been keenly felt for several years that the Academy should be more completely separated from the College. A resolution providing for this change was passed by the faculty during the past school year. Under the new plan the Academy shall have its own principal and the teachers in the Academy shall not teach any college subjects. This plan shall go into effect with the beginning of the school year 1925-1926. -E. B. Wedel. Fifty-Six ---L2- - cm :In cm cm :cn crm cm J!

You'il repeat to the youth and the maiden, A As they lean on the arm cf your chair, E What you did when you were in college, When like them you were young and fair. And what are the things you'll remember, B To make up your glowing tale- Just the problems you worked, and the themes you wrote, The exams that made you fail? E Oh, no, when these long are forgotten There will linger a happier strain, Which time with its toil and its worries Has tried to dispel all in vain. You will tell of the organizations E To which you belonged in your day, And of all the things you accomplished During hours of work and play. B You will tell of the friendships that sprouted While together you did your best Standing side by side in the glee club, E Or debating with zeal and zest. You will list the names of some members H Of the lit which you called your own, And think with a smile of the talent And humor with which they shone. E You'll display an old Bethel Collegian With pride before youth's eager gaze, As you boast of the worthy achievements E Of its staff in your college days. And then you come to the climax Of the scenes that you knew so well E You will pause just to reach for this annual And say, Let these pages tell. E And the while they study the pictures And exclaim at each joke with delight, You will watch them with eyes that are dreaming Of each dear, familiar, old sight. E You will linger on each little happening With fondness which time makes more strong. B Those memories will make your life richer And keep your youth radiant and long. -S. M.

It handles such activities as inter-collegiate athletics, debate, oratory, and the editorship of the various publications-the Collegian, the Graymaroon, and the student section of the 'tMonthly. E The membership of the council numbers eleven, elected at large from the student body and divided proportionally between the college and academy departments. At present the college has seven representatives and the academy four. E Since the council is the only body of students of some influence in the manage- ment of school affairs, election to office in this organization involves a high degree of responsibility. l B E E E Fifty-Nine g ml E HIQQ57' cm cm ma cm cm cm cm Q i 4- 'i iiii lfaugmoufnnln Brooks Terry, Viola Krehbiel, Harold Hanna, Kar-1 Kliewer Ruth L.

Until 1918 Bethel had no publication of her own and it is to Prof. E. E. Leisy, head of the English Department at that time, that we owe the origin of our college paper. It was at first known as the Bethel Breeze, Nelson W. Krehbiel being its first editor. Since that time many student editors have been busy and with a staff of fine, enthusiastic Workers have made the paper immensely popular. The name Breeze perhaps sounded too breezy, consequently its appellation was changed to The Collegian, which name it has kept to the present day. It has a cir- culation of about one hundred fifty, going to students, ex-students, alumni and friends. It has been suggested that a new plan be adopted whereby the Collegian will be published on a separate basis. The Collegian today is comprised of a page of College news in the Tuesday issue of the Evening-Kansan Republican. By the suggested plan, the Collegian is to be a larger and more complete paper in itself. lfVith the immense circulation of the Kansan at present, the Bethel Collegian is brought into many more homes with the Tuesday issue, than would probably be the case, if the college paper were put on a separate basis. The Collegian, however, is a fine means of self-expression for the students, and at the same time mirrors the events as they occur during the school year. The Bethel Collegian is indispensable to the Bethel student and alumnus. Sixty-One fmmmfemmfm ll l -f : ' - A 4- ' ifougmoufooln 1 Mariam Penner, Ruth L.

This year, as formerly, most of our girls became members. The purpose of this organization is to lead students to Christ as well as to develop leadership and better citizenship. Briefly, the programs of the Y. W. C. A. have been one of service to its members and the school. Its weekly meetings on Thursday morning as well as the after supper devotions, occasional prayer meetings on Sunday morning, and the quiet hour at the dormitory, have done much to stimulate Christian fellowship among the girls. The Bible and Mission classes and discussion groups on campus problems have also made their contribution. The spirit of service, however, has not limited itself to student life here at Bethel. The association has had a program decidedly missionary in character. Support for r. native worker in India was raised by a bazaar. The girls also heartily responded with contributions to the Student Friendship fund. During the Christmas season a Christ- mas pageant and Christmas carols were the means of sharing with others the real Christmas spirit. These activities have proved a unifying and spiritualizing force! in our school life.

How- ever, since the College Y. M. C. A. is made up almost exclusively of students and faculty men and since the college requires physical training of all students, and the intellectual discipline is Well taken care of in the classroom, its major aim is to be a spiritual force in the school. Weekly meetings are held on Thursday mornings. These programs give students an opportunity for self expression and for developing leadership. Occasionally prom- inent Christian men are secured to speak to the association. Among the important fea- tures of the Y. M. C. A. work, are the Bible discussion groups. They are led by stu- dents and have proved very helpful this year. Opportunities for service are offered to students in the deputation Work of the association. Gospel teams go out to render services to different communities and groups sing in hospitals and the county jail. The association together with the Y. W. C. A. also supports a native worker in India. Besides these services the Y. M. C. A. finds employment for students and helps them in the choice of their life work.

The interest shown in the organization proves that it has been worth While to have this new function in our forensic activities. The 'two teams, each having two members and an alternative, were chosen from a group of E women, each of whom had prepared a trial speech which they gave at a try out. One hour of credit is given each member of the teams for the work done in pre- paration for the debate, writing and learning of the constructive speech, and clashing with the teams of other colleges. E The question this year was the same as the men's: namely, Resolved that Congress by a two-thirds vote of each house shall have power to overrule a decision of the Supreme Court declaring a federal law to be unconstitutional.

Recognizing these values Bethel has for many years given debate a prominent place among its school activities. This year a new system of judging was introduced into the intercollegiate debating league. Instead of the usual judges there was only one expert judge, who, by his con- structive criticism led the debaters to see their weaknesses and thus gave them oppor- tunity for improvement. Although Bethel Won only one decision of the six, the close percentage of each con- , test proves that Bethel is keeping pace with her competitors. Question: Resolved that Congress by a two-thirds vote of each House shall have power to overrule a decision of the Supreme Court declaring a federal law to be unconstitutional.

Several years later the Academies of McPherson, Central, Tabor, and Bethel joined to form. the Pentangular Debating League. This league remained intact until 1923 when Central and Bethany dropped out, leaving only Tabor, McPherson and Bethel. It was an un- fortunate year for Bethel for she was defeated by both of the remaining members of the league. This year McPherson's break with the league dissolved entirely the origi- nal Pentangular Debating League. The result was that the Academies of Tabor and Bethel adopted the high school question and debated with some of the neighboring high schools. Another departure from precedent was the one-judge system similar to that adopted for the college debate. Bethel Academy has regained more of her old standard this year. Although she won only two decisions out of the six, the other four were lost by a very small margin. Question: Resolved, that the United States should cancel all financial obligations due her from the government of the allies, on account of the World War.

At present thirteen colleges be- long to this association, and every year more interest in the art of oratory is being shown. Local and state con- tests are held each year. In the local contest at Bethel, Q which was held January 20, the oration of Willis Rich, en- titled William Jennings Bryan, was ranked first. Sec- ond place was taken by Victory Haury with his oration Man or Beast-Which? In the state elimination con- Q test, based on the ihought and composition of the ora- tions, Willis Rich's production was selected as one of the six best. In the final contest at Winfield his oration was awarded third place. E In the future Bethel's interest in oratory should be intensified, for a college education should not only impart to students new inspirational impressions, but it should also provide effective! training in giving expression to E Willis Rich such impression. The Intercollegiate Peace Association had its incep- tion at a meeting of the Mennonite, Dunkard and Friends E Colleges of Ohio and Indiana, held at Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, June 1906. To foster an interest in the cause of the peace among student bodies of our col- leges and universities, it was decided to hold oratorical E contests in which all of the orations should deal with some phase of international peace. It was hoped thus to de- velop moral, religious and political leadership which is imbued with right ideals of international relationships. Since the leadership of tomorrow depends largely upon E the ideals instilled into the minds of collegiate youths of today, the college is the most logical place to begin this process of instilling peace ideals. This movement spread rapidly till in 1917, when one hundred fifty colleges and E universities in some thirty states were preparing for the coming contests. The entrance of the United States into the World War practically caused the work of the association to cease. E Since the end of the War this association has been revived, and now more than a dozen states are again participating. PEACE ORATORICAL CONTEST Albert J. Penner In 1924 Bethel definitely joined the Intercollegiate Peace Association. Mr. Bargen won the local contest and took second place in the state contest. This year 119255 the fol- E lowing contestants delivered orations at the local contest: Albert Penner, The Old and the New, George Nachtigal, Put Up Thy Sword, Ferdinand J. Wiens, Peace! an Elusive Phantom, William Unruh, Patriotism, the Way of Peace, Herbert Schmidt, Paganism or Christianity. Albert Penner, having taken first place in the local con- E test, took his oration to the state contest at McPherson, and here too he Won first honor for himself and his school. Bethel, representing the peace loving Mennonites, is thus doing her rightful share in promoting the cause of peace.

Hermon, Massachusetts, Robert P. Wilder, a Princeton delegate, met with a group of students to pray for a missionary re-awakening. In those moments was born of prayer the Student Volunteer Move- ment, which has advanced year by year, until today it counts as missionary recruits for Christ over ten thousand Student Volunteers. The movement has adopted the watchword, The Evangelization of the World in This Generation. This phrase was meant not as a prophetic utterance, but as a chal- lenge to Christian students to bring an adequate presentation of Christ to all living men within their generation. Briefly stated, the purpose of the organization is to awaken and foster among all the Christian students of the United States and Canada, intelligent and active interest m foreign missions, and to enroll a sufficient number of properly qualified student volunteers to meet the successive demands of the various boards of North America. - In harmony with this purpose the Student Volunteer Band at Bethel was organized. It meets every Tuesday for an hour of fellowship and prayer. Its influence, however, extends beyond the narrow limits of its membership. Upon invitation groups of volun- teers render missionary programs in the nearby churches. This deputation work as well as the weekly meetings are intensifying missionary zeal and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ so that in answer to the call Whom shall I send and who will go for us? there shall be a glad and intelligent response Here am I, send me.

Bethel College at the present time has a splendid Science Hall nearing its comple- tion. To its lecture halls and laboratories many ambitious young men and women will seek their way. In order to aid and foster their wholesome spirit of true investigation and study of the natural sciences, the Delta Sigma was organized September, 1924. It offers an opportunity to students for scientific self expression in program form. The Delta Sigma meets bi-weekly on Wednesday night, at seven o'clock. Member- ship is limited to faculty members and college students who have had some natural science or are taking such work at the time of application for membership. The appli- cant must present to the club a paper of not less than five hundred words on some scientific subject. If the program committee and the club accept the work, the appli- cant becomes a member upon rendition of the paper at some regular program. 5'ixiy-Nin c ll I1-I I- 'l'l W E Y E HE CID HE DIL E JI DELPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Peter Linscheid, Martha Voth, Minnie Richert, D.

During the year 1924-'25 another instructor was secured to help carry out the work of the de- partment. Marked increase in interest along musical lines has also been shown on the part of the students. At this rate of development, music promises to become one of the leading interests of our college. After an absence of six years Prof. Schmutz returned to Bethel in the fall of 1924 to become Dean of the Music Department. Bethel considers herself fortunate to have at the head of its department of music a man of Prof. Schmutz's calibre, whose musi- cal ability is recognized and appreciated not only here but in much wider music circles. Besides teaching instrumental music and theory, Dean Schmutz directs the Men's Chorus as well as the joint chorus. Prof. Hohmann has taught piano and theory at Bethel during the past two years, coming here from Freeman College. His artistic temperament, which shows itself in his piano performances, is appreciated by all. He has had much success as director of the Ladies' Choir and of the Oratorio Chorus. He also directs the college church choir. Prof. Thut is finishing his first year as instructor in voice and public school music. Before coming here Prof. Thut was engaged in teaching public school music: in Free- man, South Dakota. Prof. Thut's music training can readily be recognized both in his school and Vocal work and in his ability as director of the Oratorio Chorus. Although a newcomer on the Bethel music faculty this year, Mr. Duff Middleton has proved his worth at his appearances before Newton audiences. His pleasing per- sonality, stage appearance, and above all, his musical interpretation on the violin, mark him as a master of that instrument. The violin department, though not as old as the other departments, is being raised by Mr. Middleton to the standard which has been set by the other departments.

The group has rendered services thruout the Newton vicinity as well as having made a short tour to Oklahoma during the Easter holidays. The annual event of the year for the Mixed Chorus is the rendition of DuBois' Seven Last Words of Christ usually during Passion Week. This year it was rendered at the Newton city auditorium on Palm Sunday, April 5. The solo parts were taken by Mrs. Alma Nelson, soprano, Mr. ,John Thut, tenor, Mr. Albert Penner, baritone. Prof. W. H. Hohmann accompanied on the piano. The oratorio was under the direction of Prof. A. D. Schmutz.

These young ladies have worked diligently and faithfully in their respective de- partments, and have consequently very definite results to show. Artistic maturity and technical efficiency are not attained in a day. Constant and consistent efforts, provided and motivated by' an appreciation of, and a whole-hearted love for, the best that is in Music, are imperative prerequisites to real musical attainments. These facts, the above named people have quite fully realized, and they are happy to be counted among the alumni of the Bethel College Music Department. The depart- ment freely shares this pleasure with them, and hopes that the future shall hold suc- cess for them in their various fields of activity. Seventy-Nizzc 539355, Cm fm mt, 1 to Wm 4? GLIQURULVOO 'v ORATORIU SUCIETY This society was organized in the year of 1900 by the late Prof. B. F. Welty, who died recently at Tacoma, Washington. Prof. Welty was to have been here this year for the 25th anniversary of the founding of the oratorio society. liver since its organiza- zation, the society has been a vital part of Bethel College, it having been maintained each year since its organization. The purpose of the society is to render standard oratorios and cantatas. Each work taken up is studied exhaustively so as to keep all performances up to the standard which has been set for them. The society offers a two-fold opportunity to the student. First, the opportunity to get acquainted with standard oratorios. Music is being regarded more and more as an essential part of a liberal education and the student should avail himself of this method of learning something of this phase of music. Secondly, it gives excellent training in sight reading. Then too, the traditional side of the society should not be overlooked. The fact that the society has been maintained 25 years, is alone proof of its value. The student should bear in mind that he is joining one of Bethel's oldest organizations, and one which is very highly regarded. In the spring of 1915 under the direction of Prof. Schmutz the oratorio was given at the City Auditorium. The accompaniment was played by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Emil Oberhofer. last year the chorus rendered G0unod's 'tRedemption. This year Haydn's t'Creation is being sung, which was the first oratorio to be sung by the society, 25 years ago. Prof. Thut directed the chorus the first of the year, but since he is to sing the tenor solos, Prof. Hohmann has taken up the baton. Tina Funk and Martha Ewy are playing the piano accompaniment and Bertha Kaufman and Florence Haury the organ. The chorus numbers about 100 voices this year.

Haury, Jr., a typical Bethel product. He graduated from the academy and college departments of Bethel, but took his third year of college Work at the University of Colorado. . After a number of highly successful years of high school teaching and coaching at Buhler, he was called to Bethel College in the fall of 1922. Athletics at that time was B E at a low ebb, but under his tutelage it did not remain so, for in his second year the X ' l Bethel basket ball boys won second place in the Kansas Conference and almost repeated 1 i the same feat last year. In fact all of the major sports, including football and track, have gained tremendously in popularity since Coach Haury's advent. his understanding of the student point of view cause him to be highly respected by all , Coach Haury is quiet and unassuming in manner, but his sympathetic attitude and students, and especially the men. His absolute insistence upon clean sportsmanship has won for him the commenda- , E tion and regard of the other schools in the Kansas Conference. We feel sure that ' as long as Coach remains at the head of our athletics our present high standard will be maintained. 5 Q ,ff ill El? QE ll wa, .Q Ea iii gill i' .

Since the awarding of the first letters a feeling of fellowship has been engendered among those who have won this coveted distinction because of having stood shoulder to shoulder in a common cause and purpose. The club consists of those men who have represented Bethel in intercollegiate ath- letics and have received B's in any of the following sports: football, basket ball, base- ball, track and tennis. This club has made it an annual event to give banquets in honor of the football and basket ball teams, these occasions being considered among the important social events. The new men taken into the letter club this year were C. Spangler, J. Buller, Jr., E. Kaufman, E. Krehbiel, C. Pankratz, A. Graber, W. Regier, and J. Graber Knot on picturej.

The team met nine of the fifteen schools in the conference, lost one game, and finished second only to the Kansas Conference Champions, the Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia. Bethel finished the season with a percentage of .917 with eleven conference games won and one lost. Bethel placed two men, Otto Kliewer and Otto Unruh, on the Mythical All-Confer- ence first team at guard and forward, respectively. Harold Goerz, captain of the five, and Walter Enns, were given official honorable mention. Rudolph Enns at sta- tionary guard, the fifth man of this stellar team, altho not receiving official recognition, won the admiration of Bethel's followers by his steady, non-spectacular style of play.

This game was won from Friends, whose team was considered one of the strongest of the conference. The football season closed with a record of four defeats and two victories. Considering the smooth-running machine into which Coach Haury developed the inexperienced material of the squad, the season. may be counted a success. Seven men of the squad won sweaters and letters, and four more second year men received letters only.

It was, however, also a team which played less steadily in a crisis and regained confidence in itself more slowly when defeated. The Graymaroons won from teams rated among the strongest-Pittsburg, Col- lege of Emporia and Fairmount, and lost to teams rated low in the conference. At times the men of the team played as veterans, and again they performed as would be logically presupposed from their age and experience. liudolph Enns, pilot ol' the team and only veteran, Walter Enns, two-year man, and three new men, Pankratz, Buller, and Regier, carried the burden of the season's work and came up to the expectations of the supporters, winning a tie for fourth place in the Kansas Conference race. This is a good record for it may be said that Kansas plays the best basket ball in the world, as was evidenced by Washburn taking the National Championship.

Eddie Schroelcr E BASKETBALL 1924-'25 ' WALTER ENNS Forward, and Captain-elect 1926, is the long shot artist for the Graymaroon squad. When he is going right he can break up the best defenses with his shots. Next year X will be his third year for Bethel and he should make a good leader for the team. JOHN BULLER, Ju. E Q Center, is a hard man to guard on his follow-in shots as he is accurate at batting the ball into the basket. This was his first year at Bethel and next season should see him at his best. Q Q WALTER REGIER Forward, never seemed to lose his confidence no matter how close the game was going. It was due to his individual scoring that the C. of E. team was turned back in defeat. He received honorable mention in the Conference. B E1 Q RUDOLF ENNS Captain and guard, is one of the greatest of defensive players and such a veteran at the game, that he made an ideal leader. Rudy was always good for one or two Q E baskets during the game. As he is graduating this year Bethel loses one of her out- standing athletes. CECIL PANKRATZ Q Guard, made a fit running mate for Rudy as he has the size and weight for a good stationary guard. This was his first year at Bethel but as he is a Senior a new man will have to be found for his position next year. E EDDiE SCHROEDER E Guard, is a steady, hard-playing defensive man. He shoots a high, arched shot which is generally accurate and would do credit to any forward. For four years Eddie has battled solidly for his school. 5 l a Eighty-Nina . 5 B rw: . --Nw 5 l Q Q 51, y E l ,,.-1-?. 1-' XXX 1? c lfougmoufoon BQ Q4 Gerhard llnerksen, C.

TRACK REVIEW 1924-1925 Track as a major sport at Bethel has for the last few years been under a handicap in running parallel with baseball. Regardless of this drawback Bethel took third place in the Annual Pe-ntangular Track Meet held at Salina in 1924. Bethel had two dual meets, one with Southwestern at Bethel and one with the Hays Teachers at Hays. Southwestern swamped Bethel 105-26, while Hays won only by a small margin, 58-48. The 1925 Track Team contained more men and was a better balanced team. The Pentangular meet, changed to a Hexangular since the reinstatement of Sterling, held at Bethany on May 2, was the fastest contest ever held in the history of the meet. The ranking of the schools was as follows: Bethany 39, Kansas Wesleyan 37, Hays 31, McPherson 21, Bethel 16, and Sterling 15. Bethel had three meets previous to tha Hexangular, with Hays, Friends, and Southwestern respectively. Hays won their meet 611ffz-5616, by taking the relay, Friends defeated Bethel 76-55, and the Moundbuilders repeated their overwhelming victory of the year before 102-29. The Graymaroons closed their track season May 12, with a successful meet at Newton winning from McPherson 73-58. In 1924 the Student Council made some new rulings regarding track letters and sweaters. A letter and sweater may be won by making 8 points in a dual meet, a first place in the Hexangular, or 10 points in a season. Those who won letters in 1924 were: Clyde Coulson, Walter Enns, Henry Harms, Karl Kliewer, Edwin Unruh, and Eddie Schroeder. The names of the track men and the number of points won are given: Cyrus Spangler 3914, Jacob Graber 26, Edwin Unruh 1616, Eddie Schroeder 7, Henry Harms 16, Brooks Terry 11, Carl Richert 4, John P.

Ninety Q-qv- Y - - do lfougmoufooln YF-r TENNIS In the season of 1924 Bethel won two meets, lost two, and divided honors in one. Harold Goerz, John Neufeld, and Emil Haury made letters in 1924.

In former years the Academy men have always been eligible for the college teams, but this was a handicap because very often a Bethel athlete had finished ' playing four years of intercollegiate games by the time he was a sophomore in college. By this new arrangement the academy will develop athletes for the college teams. The E Bethel Academy is a member of the State High School Athletic Association. There were about fifteen men out for football practice throughout the entire sea- son. The squad was made up of new material as none of the men had had previous P football experience. The team played four games, winning from Walton 18-0 and Halstead 6-0, and losing to Newton High Seconds 7-0, and Hillsboro 14-0. The record is not one to be especially proud of, but is nevertheless encouraging, considering that this was the first attempt at organizing an academy football team.

D. Wedel at center was always :ure of the tip-off, while J. Q Schmidt and li. Schmidt at the guard positions kept their opponents to an average of Q eight points per game. For utility men, the Academy had W. Wedel as forward, A. Schmidt and G. Nickel as guards. During the season the team scored 234 points while their opponents scored 89.

A few more girls are expected to receive B's by the end of the year, and a girls' Letter Club will probably be formed. Nin cty-Fiw crm-'mn cm -15133-,A cm: cm cm CD11 X-.

The founders of Bethel College built better than they knew. They did not'plan for a Science Hall, nor evenyfor room for a Science Department, in the present day sense of the word, but they made the present Science Hall necessary, for when any group of people plans as farrahead of its day and its surroundings as did our fathers half a century ago, they are laying the foundations for great things even though they may not foresee them in detail. V Q ' Let us strike deep into this sod, that we may build for Truth and God, spoken December 19, 1923, constituted but an epitome of the spirit which for almost fifty years, had shaped the affairs which, of necessity, would lead to the construction of the building for which we were then breaking the sod. We were simply attending to one of the incidental details that day. For years men and women of vision, faith and courage had insisted that we must build for Truth and God. That was the basis of the educational work which led to the foundation and development of Bethel College. It took a 'great ideal 'to launch' out on'an ambitious plan for educating their children, such as our fathers undertook soon after settlingqin-central'Kansas, to build as they did during the hard times 'a generatioriago,fandflto'continue in spite of disappointments. The building of- Science Hall has--been a-momentous event in the life. of the school, the' church, and the community. It has ib661'1.Lbl1t.H.H, incident, of course, but it has been a yery important gone in more ways than the merefconstruction df a useful and a beaupifu1'bui1d4ing. . A j ' ,' G , 1 ' A i r Bethel College' means more to the students land to the members of the faculty, who had the opportunity of lending a helping handfthan couldfpossibly be the case without this, or a similar experience. The appeals made in the churches and the personal pre- sentation of the needs of the school, in order that she might render better service, have probably done more to, awaken 'a new interest amongthe membership of the church than any one can estimate atthis time. The presentation of the facts about Bethel Ninety-Eight CEDEEDCEDCEDUJDEJDDIJ fs:-ff' iiii S lfomiglnmoilfoom W College fincluding the reasons why the school should have an adequate Science Hallj to the community, within the last few years, has meant more to the community and to the school than perhaps any other one undertaking could have meant. This work has not been without its difficulties and its disappointments, but it has unified groups who will work the better for the experience, it has opened new opportunities to untold numbers, and it has served as a great revealer of character in many. It took much effort to produce Our Science Hall and to educate a sufficient number of minds and wills to make possible what we now so thankfully realize as a fact on the campus. The possibility of having to build a Science Hall sometime was definitely discussed at a meeting of the Board of Directors more than fourteen years ago. A stenographic report of that meeting would be very interesting and illuminating. That discussion did not end in mere talk. Definite and large sums were asked-and refused. It may be a mere incident, but it is an interesting and important fact that two persons who refused lost more money in eighteen months than it would have taken, at that time, to build Our Science Hall. After the money was gone, both wished that they had given it to the College! Our Science Hall is the product of many minds and hands. It is humanly impos- sible to enumerate all who have helped. It is well that it is so, for that makes it really OUR Science Hall. l Not the least has been contributed by those who cannot hope to receive benefits as students in this building for which they worked and sacrificed and prayed. They expect their reward in the satisfaction which comes from helping those who cannot help them- selves. We trust that their satisfaction may exceed their expectations. Many whose school work is not yet finished, will get almost immediate rewards through the more efficient service which can be rendered them because of the erection of the new build- ing. The greater number of beneficiaries will be those, who in the coming years, will enroll as students of Bethel College. What these could not do for Our Science Hall, they may have ample opportunity to do for some of the other buildings which were also unconsciously included in the ideal of our fathers. They will understand what this means when they begin to pay their debt of love and gratitude to Bethel College by helping to erect the Library, the Auditorium, one of the larger Dormitories or some other building in keeping with Our Science Hall.

It is fifty-two feet long, forty feet wide, and twenty feet high, or deep, as you may take it. The ten-foot portion which is below the surface is concrete while the exposed part is of brick. At present, only one boiler has been installed, which satisfactorily heats the three buildings: the Administration Building, the Science Hall, and the Music Hall. The plant, however, is large enough, that two more boilers can be placed when the need occurs. The boiler consists of the water-tube, high-pressure type, with two sets of pumps to produce the vacuum. Oil is used as fuel and a large tank has been provided, underground, so that quite a supply of oil can be kept on hand. This fuel is cleaner and more convenient than coal. Ordinarily from five to six barrels of oil are used daily. One of the interesting features about the structure is a five by six foot tunnel, seventeen feet underground, which leads west from the boiler house nearly to the Main Building. This tunnel contains the pipes leading to the buildings which are heated and affords possibility and convenience for repair work in case that is found necessary. The complete system is neat, clean, and efficient. The student body rejoices to know that the institution has a dependable heating system, so that it need not fear the coldest winter days. The establishment of this new system has considerably lightened the work of our faithful campus janitor, Mr. Groneman. With his efforts centered at the one general furnace, we can feel assured of plenty of heat at the right time.

They form an integral part of the college school year and serve to meet some real needs. Formerly the long summer vacations were a bore to the aspiring teacher and the ambitious student. Much valu- able time was wasted. Now by the aid of the summer school the teacher can pursue courses of study that will enable her to become a proficient teacher and a steadily growing scholar. She does not have to stop her teaching for further study and perhaps lose a good position in doing so. By using the summer school the industrious student can shorten the period of his college education from the traditional four-year cycle to three years and thus begin his life work or his graduate studies a year earlier. The summer school has one great advantage over the regular school year. This lies in the fact that the prevailing atmosphere is one of study, of close application, of definiteness of purpose. The summer school student, Whether he be a teacher in ser- vice or a student in the period of preparation, has a definite aim or objective which he has determinately set out to attain. The Bethel summer school had its beginning in the summer of 1909, when Prof. D. H. Richert, who was finishing his undergraduate work at Oberlin, obtained permission from the Bethel authorities to conduct a six-week summer term. Mr. Richert was the sole instructor of a small, devoted band that formed Bethel's first summer school. The enrollment was twelve. Since then Bethel has maintained a summer school each year with the exception of 1921. During the first years, the courses were largely confined to academy or high school subjects. More recently the college courses have gradually superseded them until in 1922 and 1923, when only college work was offered. In response to insistent demands for high school work, however, such work was given to about ten students last summer, and some will again be offered this year. The enrollments during these years were as follows: 1909 ..,,-......,.... 12 1914 ......,,........ 44 1919 .... .... 3 1 1910 .... .... 3 1 1915 .,.. ..,. 5 if 1920 .... .... 2 2 1911 .... .... 4 ll 1916 .... ..., 5 8 1921 ..,. no school 1912 .... .... 2 O 1917 .... ...A 6 4 1922 ..,. .... 4 T 1913 ................ 23 1918 ...... ...... i SR 1923 .... ........ 8 2 1924 ................ 92 Professors D. H. Richert, P. J. Wedel, Emil Riesen, Samuel Burkhardt, and. beginning with 1923, J. R. Thierstein, have been directors of the sessions. The prospects for this summer's session look very promising. New courses will be offered and the faculty has been enlarged. Due to the fact that several of our regular faculty members are planning lo take graduate work in other institutions. some outside instructors have been engaged. They are all such that can be depended on to do thorough work. Om' Hzmdrvcz' and 'fzuo 1519251 mmmmmmmfa -.1--u 1 'in 4 Uugmouf 00111 W X One 1-Iundrcd and Three -l1 -ll' E E CID DI!

In seven of the last fifteen years she has stood at the head of the list of all the states in wheat production. These facts are of peculiar interest to our Mennonite people, not only because farming is their chief employ- ment, and wheat their main crop, but because the Mennonites themselves brought the first hard Wheat to this state. During the immigration of 1873 the Mennonite colonists brought in the Turkey variety of hard wheat di- rectly from Russia. This was cultivated continuously, till at present it pre- dominates over the numerous other varieties of hard wheat grown in Kan- sas. The latest variety of Kansas Wheat, the Blackhull, was originated from three black beards which were found in the Turkey wheat in 1912. The Blackhull promises to becomes the predominating variety in the state. The Mennonites can feel that they have had a leading part in giving the State of Kansas its world-wide fame-that of growing the Best Wheat in the World.

There is perfect quiet while grace is being said fwith the exception of an occasional clash in the kitchenj. The waiters have acquired a greater dignity as a result of wearing their white caps. Eddie Schroeder eats less jam fthough this fact is questionablej. Leo Brandt seats the girl who happens to be placed at his left Qexcept when he is too busy teasing the girl at his rightl. Nettie Friesen makes brave attempts to check her natural mirth. Bertha Kaufman never drinks more than six glasses of water. Hulda Penner argues less. Jakie Graber tries harder not to be funny. Bill Penner is not quite so preoccupied. He passes the potatoes after having been asked three times. Victor Haury does not tease the waiters to give him more milk. Otto Unruh does not slip fresh onions into the girls' pockets. August Schmidt drops less dishes. Alfred Regier eats only seven slices of bread. The sweepers stand at attention till diners have left. Two chairs are vacant. Milton Buhler is more dignified than ever. Sam Kliewer is satisfied with his share of lettuce. Frieda Becker swipes no cookies. Elizabeth Dyck, Frieda Enns, and Charlotte Regier do not arrive ten minutes ahead of tiine. The individuals at the faculty table eat with greater peace and enjoyment.

OUR FINAL WORD We are about to see the culmination of the task of publishing the Graymaroon of 1924-'25. In looking back over its pages our thoughts are naturally on what might have been. We realize that many of our fond ambitions for the book have never been fulfilled. Yet, We have given it our best efforts, under existing circumstances. Encouraged by the prospect of pleasing our fathers and mothers we have given this annual a historical background-as a memorial of their movement Westward half a century ago. For the present Bethel students, it is intended as a souvenir, from whose pages. you may ever retain the thought of the spirit and worth of our Alma Mater. We owe our heartfelt gratitude to those students, faculty members and alumni, who have assisted in compiling this book. Especially to the 1925 Graymaroon staff do we extend cordial thanks for its loyal support and co-operation. Our fervent hope is that this book will meet with approval every- where. If you are pleased with our efforbs, that is sufficient. We ask no greater recompense. THE EDITORS. 5 Q One Hundred and' Twenty-Six .W .
