A Twenty-One A school isZ3,,l.ltfblf'Slll,lll?lQ Dear Bethel song used by the Ladies' Choir in the past season Dear Bethel, oft of thee we're thinking, And mem'ries fond come trooping by, The tireless stars may cease their blinking, But thoughts of thee shall never dieg And tho' the years steal swiftly o'er us, And winter comes with biting sting, Our hearts with youth's undaunted chorus, Shall e'er with praise of Bethel ring. We burn the incense of affection, As in thy sacred fanes we meet, While down the aisles of recollection, Come thronging forms we love to greet, And the life's bitter storms sweep o'er us, And pleasure hides on fleeting wing, Our hearts shall blend in loving chorus While Alma Mater's praise we sing. To thee we pledge our proud allegiance, Thy loyal ones are we, and true, Nor time, nor tide, nor fortune's pageants Shall daunt Maroon and Gray, Then with thy glory e'er before us, Our loving tribute we will sing, And once again in hearty chorus, Thy praise, clear Bethel, we will sing.

Kansas Special' Louis Jantzen, Elbing, Kansas Special Campus Song Composed by Prof. A. D. Schmutz in the fall of 1926 and sung by the Mcn's Chorus throughout the concert season. 1. When o'er the college campus, evening is silently creeping, And nature's quest is stealing into our hearts with its calm, When after hours of toil and care to us comes the hour of rest, Then 'tis we love our college, ne'er her dear halls we'1l forget. 2. When neath the rays of the silv'ry moon voices are happily singing. Singing in praise of true friendship, Friendship that never will die, And o'er the balmy breezes the echoes wafted back Then 'tis we love our college, ne'er her dear halls we'll forget. Chorus: Bethel, dear Bethel, thy name rings clear and true, Fond mem'ries e'er shall linger, Though from thee we must part. Winter lends to the campus its true garb of dignity and repose Forty- Six V X emmxxiufme, - ' .--1' ,nf '00, N-1. 3 xo!! If 0 Sir, 3 -5 dfynfnn 0995i '1 4 1 sv. Y :K v. . 4 . -.....

The spirit and purpose of the organization is given in the preamble of the constitution: We, the students of Bethel College, feeling the need of a representative body to manage certain student enterprises, and recognizing the inherent right of a student body to govern itself, do hereby organize and establish this constitution as the organic law of our executive and legislative body of students by the name of Student Activity Council. The council is composed of eleven members elected at large by the student body and divided proportionately between th College and Academy departments. At present the College has ten representatives and the Academy one. All business incident to any interest of the student body and not managed by any other student organization, is assumed by the council. Such interests include inter- collegiate athletics, debate, oratory, extempore speaking, and editorship of the various publications-the Bethel Collegian, the Graymaroon, and the student section of the Bethel College Monthly. Because of the variety and scope of its activities, election to the council involves much responsibility, especially in the selection of sound business principles for the solution of financial problems.

This student paper has grown from a half-page news sheet in the Evening Kansan Repub- lican known as the HBethel Breeze in 1918, to an independent four page paper called the Bethel Collegian. As a school newspaper the Collegian is indispensible to the students because it is an important factor in school activities, and these activities constitute the life of a college. A student paper unifies opiniong it helps to create a loyal school spiritg and it helps to bring the various forces in the school closer together. For a year the Collegian has been published as an independent paper with finan- cial success and much satisfaction to students. Members of the editorial staff have the opportunity of entering into a constructive beginning in the journalistic field as the entire make-up of the paper is in the hands of the staff. The business managers re- ceive practical training in handling the subscriptions, advertisements, and finances. The influence of the paper which deals exclusively with school news extends to all who are in any way connected with Bethel. Fi ft y-Th ree ' rx 1. t. 1 it 1?

The purpose of the women's auxiliary of this organization was to train girls for more effective Christian leadership. The C. S. U. realized the value of widening its scope of work, however, and in 1915 plans were formed to affiliate with the National Young Women's Christian Association. In that year the girls started a loan system to pay expenses of delegates to conferences. The local work of the Y. W. C. A. includes the regular Thursday morning meet- ings, arranged to embody talks by outside speakers, and by students, discussions, and musical programs. Girls' Bible classes and regular weekly devotional meetings are also included in the program. Two bazaars, a Christmas and an Easter pageant, the Student Friendship Drive, open cabinet meetings, the support of a native worker in India, and liberal contributions to the national organization were projects carried out with enthusiasm and good will. The Y. W. C. A. in co-operation with the Y. M. C. A. has voted to support a foreign student on our campus for the coming year. The purpose of the organization is: To lead students to Christ, to promote their growth in Christian faith and characterg and to train them in Christian service.

Rich, William Penner A college Young Men's Christian Association exists mainly because of its spiritual influence. The intellectual, social, and physical aspects of the college man's life are well taken care of by other activities. In its endeavor to become a vital spiritual force on the campus the Bethel Y. M. C. A. is active in various forms of Christian service. Every Thursday morning the regular meetings give the students an opportunity for initiative in Christian work. The meetings are often devoted to lectures by out-of-town speakers, or to open forums led by student leaders. Deputations and gospel teams visit neighboring churches, hos- pitals, and the county jail. Much good was gained by joint Y. W. and Y. M. discussions of problems dealt with at the International -Student Conference in Milwaukee, since the Bethel Associations were well represented there. The Y. M. C. A. supports a native worker in India, helps students to find em- ployment, guides them in the choice of a life's vocation, and furthers student fellow- ship by sponsoring various social events of the year. The Women's and Men's Christian Associations co-operate to publish a B Hand- book, and to entertain the seniors of the surrounding high schools in the spring. Fi fl y-Fi ve Ladies' Debate Esther Evans Gladyne Baumgartner Edna Voth J. IJ. Epp 1Coach5 Hazel Kitch After a year of inactivity interest in Ladies' Debate was again revived at Bethel. Perhaps because of the nature of the question as well as because of the ability of the debaters, the college public supported the teams in a very admirable way. J. D. Epp, a former Bethel debater, not only directed the men debaters, but also coached the lady speakersg and with this double duty he was quite successful in his work. Since there is no regular Ladies' Debate league, Coach Epp arranged for sep- arate debates with several neighboring colleges. The ladies were regulated by the same rules governing the men's debates, hence, a single critic judge system of render- ing official decision was provided. The question for 1926-27 was the one adopted by the Pi Kappa Delta, national debating fraternity: Resolved: That the federal constitution should be amended, granting Congress the power to enact uniform marriage and divorce laws.

Recognizing these values, the faculty and students of Bethel are, each year, showing more and more interest in this forensic activity. This year 11926-275 Bethel had two strong teams. In their contests with Wichita University, Friends University, and Southwestern College, Bethel won three of the possible six decisionsg and, figuring on a percentage basis, Bethel won each dual debate. This year the one critic judge system of decision was again used in the Kansas league. J. D. Epp ably managed the teams. For the year previous, 1925-26, Bethel's debaters had set a new high record. With the audience-judging system the Graymaroon teams won the championship of the southern division of the Kansas Inter-collegiate Debating League, and gave McPherson college a battle at the final three-judge contest for the state championship. The de- baters worked under the direction of A. J. Graber. Question 11926-275: Resolved: That Congress should enact legislation embodying the principles of the McNary-Haugen bill.

Bethel Academy was again a member of the Harvey County High School Associa- tion Which sponsors all county contests. The first debate scheduled was a triangular affair with Walton and Burrton. The affirmative team debated Burrton's negative team, winning from them by a close margin. The negative team lost to the Walton affirmative. This eliminated Bethel Academy from further debates in the county league. Regardless of the outcome it can be said that both teams did excellent work.

Second honors went to Arthur li. Miller with his oration, The Constitution. Gladyne Raumeartner with her presen- tation, 'tPursuits of Happinessf' won third place. The first and second awards for this contest were gold and silver pins given by the student council. Voran was sent as Bethells representative to the provincial Pi Kappa Delta con- vention held at Ottawa University, April 1, to participate in the oratory event. He survived the preliminaries and captured third place in the final contest. Many sur- rounding colleges entered speakers in the forensic meet at Ottawa. Last year 11925-261, Gerald Pearson with his oration on Woodrow Wilson won third honors representing' Bethel in the Old Line contest held at the College of Emporia. PEACE CONTEST The Intercollegiate Peace Association had its inception at a meeting' of the Men- nonite, Dunkard, and Friends colleges of Ohio and lndiana, held at lflarlham College, Richmond, lndiana, June, 19015. ln order to foster interest in international peace among' students in our colleges, it was decided to hold annual oratorical contests, local, state, and national. Bethel, interested in the promotion of the cause of peace, joined this organization in 192-1. That year Bernard Bargen won the local contest and took second place in the state meet. ln 1925, Albert Penner received high honors for himself and his school hy winning first in the state and second in the national contests. l.ast year Sewall Voran received fifth place in the state meet. Bethel's local contest this year was held April 8. The oration, 'tThe Practical l,0ve of a Living Prince, given by Willis Ii. Rich, won first honors. Fay Molzen took the second award with her oration, t'Women and Peace. The third place winner was Peter Pankratz who presented Phe Perfect State. liich finished a close second in the state contest held April 22, at Southwestern College.

The club consists of seven boys and seven girls chosen by the council. Phil Voran was elected cheerleader by the student body, and automatically became president of the pep club. Sewall Voran was elected assistant cheerleader. The club selected the bantam rooster as its official emblem. The costume adopted consisted of white skirts for the girls, and white trousers for the boys, worn with white sweaters with the Bethel Banty emblem. The pep club is a new organization at Bethel. It has attempted to revive pep in the student body by originating new songs and yells and teaching them to the students, and by providing for pep meetings and stunts at athletic contests.

Suderman Secretary-Treasurer Mrs. John P. Suderman lt is my purpose, if God permit, to become a foreign missionary. Upon the sign- ing of this statement, and after due consideration of its implications, a student in any college or institution of higher learning in the United States or Canada, who is a mem- ber of a Protestant church, becomes a member of the National Student Volunteer Move- ment for Foreign Missions. The largest group of Student Volunteers in the state of Kansas is found on the Bethel campus. They have taken an active part in the Kansas-Western Missouri Union as three of its students have held four offices, two of them presidencies, in it in the past three years. The state conference was also entertained by them last year. Besides the regular meetings in which current missionary problems are discussed, the volunteers are active in other religious organizations on the campus of which they are members. By giving missionary programs in nearby communities, the volunteers are doing much to stimulate the interest in the Foreign Missionary enterprise and thereby preparing themselves for their future task.

Becker Clinton Kaufman The Delta Sigma Club was organized in September, 1924, in the interests of the advancement of scientific research among the students of Bethel College, and as a means of self-expression for those interested in science. Any student who has taken or is taking work of a scientific nature is eligible for admittance into the Club. Applicants for membership must prepare a paper of at least five hundred Words upon rendition of which they are admitted by a majority vote of the members. The Delta Sigma Club meets bi-weekly on Wednesday evenings. Members are notified at least four weeks ahead of time of their having been placed on the program, giving them ample time to prepare their part. They may choose any scientific subject which they wish. An important event of the year is the annual Delta Sigma banquet held in the spring. For this banquet the club obtains a person who is an authority on some field of scientific activity as a speaker for the evening. The Delta Sigma Club is doing much to maintain a deep interest in scientific sub- jects and to foster a wholesome spirit of study and investigation of the natural sciences.

The Alpha Betas adopted as their motto the following: To leave a mark but not a stain. The object of the society is to further the cultivation of literary interest and to give opportunity for parliamentary practice. It is the aim of the society to fulfill this objective throughout the yearg consequently, every member is given an opportunity to take part in the programs. The club holds several social events during the year in addition to the regular programs. The organization is composed of fifty membersg new students are voted in by the old members. The Alpha Betas are a live group because the members are willing to co-operate to help make the society worthwhile. Kaufman. Samuel, Ruth, Haunt, Stapf, Schroeder, Evans, S. Voran, Rupp K.

Its organization marked the beginning of the present form of literary activity among the students at Bethel. In 1921, the society reorganized, admitting women into its membership. The society purposes to offer special training in parliamentary drill, forensic ac- tivities, and music. The bi-weekly programs afford an opportunity to those who take part to develop their talents besides providing entertainment for the others. The Delphians occasionally meet in a social gathering at which they experience happy times and form lasting friendships.

Whether or not it has produced some philosophical and sagac- ious minds it is, as yet, hard to claim positivelyg but it has doubtless greatly contrib- uted to the fact that its members are striving toward admittance through the door which incloses profound thinkers. We think, therefore we exist, is the motto that urges them onward. This group is not only progressive along literary lines, but offers ample oppor- tunity for growth and development of other talents, such as musical, artistic and ora- torical. Occasionally parliamentary drills are held which practice proves helpful in any business organization. Meetings are held bi-weekly on Monday evenings. The society is not limited to offering an opportunity to the student to express himself with ease in public, for the social side is not neglected. Outings and other social events are held during the year. Kaufman, D. Becker, S. Hoogre, Ratzlaff, Johnson, Suderman, Schmidt, Kliewer, Miller, Schrag, H.

Under the joint leadership of' Dr. Thierstein and the Rev. Warkentin, Der Deutsche Literarische Verein has become an established organization. The purpose of the 'tVerein is to cultivate the German language in prose, poetry, conversation and song, and to create interest in the language. Students of both the college and academy are members. ln such a group various talents are found which are taken into consideration when the programs are made. Hi-weekly meetings are held at which the lives of Schiller, Gellert, Goethe, and their works, also, are studied. Musical numbers are given a prom- inent part in each program. lt has been customary in the last few years to give a special Christmas program. All conversation in the meetings is carried on in the German language. Special social gatherings are also held during the year. ll, Becker. Thiessen, J. Becker, Kaufman, Fast, A. Schmidt, P. Voth M.

Regier Katherine RatzlaffKatherine Ratzlaff At the beginning of the school year, 1925, the Athenians and Excelsiors were united into one group, the Excelsior Literary Society. It is the only literary society in the academy and most of the academy students are members. The society has been active in the support of Bethel's literary activities. Besides having its regular programs every two weeks, the society gave a public program con- sisting of the play, The Perplexing Situation, a reading, and several musical numbers. The purpose of the literary club is to aid its members in general literary work, such as reading, public speaking, parliamentary procedure, and the rendition of essays, debates, and musical numbers. Active interest has made the programs of much value to academy students. Although this is the last year of the existence of the academy, the society has re- mained Very active aspiring to live up to its name in ever striving upward. A. Regier, Boese, Richert, D. Wedel, A.

Seventy Organ Violin Violin Violin Organ blic School Music Course: Oratorio Society The oratorio society was organized by the late Professor B. F. Welty. The society has been a vital part of Bethel College, having been maintained each year since its or- ganization. Its purpose is to render standard oratorios and Cantatas. Each oratorio taken up is studied exhaustively in order to keep all renditions up to the standard set for them. The society offers a two-fold opportunity to the student. First is the opportunity to get acquainted with standard oratorios. Music is being recognized more and more as an essential part of a liberal education. Secondly, it gives excellent training in sight reading. Moreover, its tradition should not be overlooked. The fact that the society has existed for twenty-five years is proof of its value. The student should bear in mind that he is joining one of Bethel's oldest organizations, and one which is re- garded very highly. This year the chorus' presentation was St. Paul by Mendelssohn. The chorus consisting of seventy-five voices met every Thursday evening for rehearsal under the direction of Professor W. H. Hohmann. ln its final appearance, the chorus was assisted by the Men's Chorus and four able soloists. The accompanists were the Misses Selma Graber and Virginia Vaughan.

An exceptional program was worked out and a heavy schedule arranged. The choir gave sacred concerts at a number of nearby towns, and sang for various clubs, organizations, and churches in Newton. Shortly before Easter the club went to Oklahoma where sacred and secular concerts were given'at Deer Creek and at Medford. During the Easter vacation the ladies made an extended northern tour which covered a period of two weeks. Sacred and secular programs were presented in Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota. The trip proved to be an enjoyable exper- ience for the members of the choir. Moreover, the ladies represented their Alma Mater in an admirable way. No doubt those who were privileged to hear the concerts were pleased, for the ladies received much praise.. Seven ty-Two Meds Chorus First Row: Menno Voth, John Buller.

Ratzlafif Librarian John Buller, Jr. Reader Gerald Pearson The membership of the Men's Chorus of 1926-27 was increased to seventeen be- cause of the unusual number of good voices. Professor Schmutz, dean of the school ol' music, again directed the club in his successful manner. Formerly, it was the custom for the chorus to make an annual trip either to the northern states or south into Oklahoma. This year, however, a new route was planned. The men made a long tour, lasting over two weeks, to the eastern states, including lowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Among other places on the itinerary was Bluffton College, Bethe1's sister institution. Numerous concerts were given in surrounding communities and the club made several appearances in the city of Newton. Also, the chorus participated in the inter- collegiate glee club contest at Emporia. Judging from the favorable comment forth- coming wherever the men sang, this male musical organization is unquestionably rec- ognized as a credit to our College. Si-vent y-'l'hree The Seven Last Words of Christ. nfl' Y l 'tThe Seven Last Words of Christ by Theodore Du Bois, is probably the most ef- fective setting of the story of Christ's passion to be found in the realm of sacred music. In truthfulnes, consistency, sympathy and realism it can hardly be surpassed. The por- trayal of the various situations leading up to and culminating in the crucifixion, is made so intense, and so impressive that the listener as well as the performer must bow in utter humility before the grandeur and the sublimity of the redemptive work ac- complishd by our Savior. The oratorio is given annually in the city auditorium by the Ladies' Choir and the Men's Chorus of Bethel College. This year it was given on Palm Sunday afternoon, with Miss Maren Johansen, from Kansas State Teachers' College of Emporia, soprano, Mr. Wm. B. Downing from Kansas University, baritone, Mr. Thut, tenor, Mr. Hohmann presiding at the piano and Mr. Schmutz directing. The immediate aim is to make the rendition as truly artistic and as sincere in spirit as possible, so that the larger good of making it a pre-Easter community service may be accomplished. No admission is charged so that no one may be barred from participating in the service. In order to place the story more definitely before all con- cerned, the scriptural setting of each word is read by Dr. J. W. Kliewer before it is presented in song, thus preparing the mind for the exact sentiments to be portrayed. That our people and the community in general appreciate our efforts is amply demonstrated by the large numbers in attendance upon the annual rendition of this superb oratorio.

HAURY, JR. Diiection of athletics and physical training for men has been for the last several years in the hands of G. A. Haury, Jr., who is intimately hailed by all the students as Coach. Able men- agement, serious and persistent effort, a grace to lose as well as to win, and above all, a con- gcniality that draws all his charges close to him, are among the chief qualities of Coach Haury. He has won the admiration and friendship of all Bethel students who have an interest in the in- vigorating stimulus of well-directed physical ac- tivity.

Playing as end and captain, Kaufman earned his third letter, an achievement showing that, in point of service alone, Ed was qualified for the captaincy. More- over, he was a game fighter and a good player, and he constantly gave encouragement to his team-mates. The rest of the players always res- ponded to his enthusiasm because they had con- fidence in him. This spirit of co-operation dis- pelled the force of discouragement and helped each player to fight gamely through the entire season.

A program of intensive training was begun to put the raw recruits into shape, and aftcr several weeks the prospects brightened somewhat. The first game with Kansas Wesleyan ended in defeat for the Graymaroons. This outcome was a foreshadowing of the entire season as the remainder of the games, all played in the mud with the exception of two, resulted in defeats for Bethel. Games were lost to Sterling, Friends, Bethany, McPherson, St. John's, and St. Mary's. Al- though this season was not brilliantly successful the training received by the new men on the squad should prove valuable next year. Dallas Bentz, Raymond Moulds, Walter Graber, Waldo Schmidt, Ernest Schmidt, and Edwin Harms earned their first letter and sweater.

The 1927 basketball quintet was led by John Buller, Jr., known in the sport columns as Beth- el's scoring center flash. Winning his third let- ter while captain, Buller, a junior, has another year of collegiate athletics. Buller's three year record is a brilliant one, he has been mentioned on several all-star selections. He should reach his climax in his senior term. As a captain, John showed his capability by leading in the scoring. Aggressiveness and spectacular shooting are out- standing features of John, Jr.'s playing. The All Bethel Team Leslie Edmonds of the Topeka Capital, one of the Kansas leading sport mentors, picked the following All-Bethel star basketball team: Forwards-Otto Unruh, '25, and Walter Enns, '26, center-Paul Dyck, '20, guards-Otto Kliewer, '25, and Joe Becker, '20. Otto Unruh was one of the most outstanding forwards ever donned in gray and maroon, he made goals from all angles and always fought gamely. Walter Enns after a wonderful record as a Newton High School star played four seasons for Bethel, and is well remembered for his ability to make his long shots count. Paul Dyck's height made him a strong unit as a centerg and his records show that he counted from eight to twelve field goals in every game. Otto Kliewer, who was also chosen on the All-Fairmount team, was exceptional as a basketball player, having the ability and confidence to lead his team on to victory. Joe Becker, who received honor at the National A. A. A. tournament while playing with the Alva Rangers of Oklahoma, played every minute of the season during which he was a very capable captain. Ei ghty-Two qi.. ics um M A Il o 0 N we 'r- Jl I AL MILLER-Guard and forward. Al played his first season on the Graymaroon quin- tet. He plays a fast floor game and works well with the team. He is a cautious but valuable player. WALDO WEDEL-Guard and forward. A tall and apt freshman. Waldo worked up from the bench line to a steady regular. He is always good for two or three baskets from guard position. , WALTER ENNS-Forward. Walt played four years of stellar ball for his Alma Mater. He was a much feared man in the conference, playing a fast game all over the floor. His accuracy with long shots saved many a game. HAROLD BOGGESS-Forward. Another freshman with plenty of size. Boggess did some mighty fine work on offense with the advantage of his long reach. He has a fast and easy shot. JAMES GRAY-Guard. Jimmy, another first year man, is a scrapper and enters every game with plenty of fight. He displays his ability under the opponent's basket recovering the ball.

Out of thirteen games played with nine of the seventeen conference schools, the Graymaroons won seven. Bethel defeated the Bethany Swedes, who ranked third in the state, but lost two upsets to Friends and Hays who were classed as second rate teams. All of Bethel's defeats, except the two to Fairmount, were by less than five points. Two non-conference victories were won from the highly touted Cincinnati Collegians and St. John's of Winfield. The team was built around Captain Walter Enns, forwardg John Buller, Jr., center, and Walter Regier, guard, all regulars on the 1925 team. Carr Strueby filled the other forward berth, while the remaining guard position was played by Clyde Coulson and John Lepp. Walt Regier, who by his great defensive work and exceptional scoring ability was perhaps the outstanding player of the year, was placed on the mythical all-state third team.

Graber, A. Graber, Hawk The season of 1927 was one of the milestones in Bethel's track history. The Letter Club conducted a campaign for S500 with the purpose of constructing a cinder track with concrete curb and drainage system. Thus far the drainage system and curb have been completed, and the cinder course will probably be added within the next year. Although the 1927 track team was not as strong as the 1926 aggregation, excellent marks were made in some of the events, notably the discus, javelin, distance runs and low hurdles. Bansemer broke the school record in the javelin, Penner in the half-mile, Buller in the low hurdles, and Claassen equaled the school record in the discus. The following men earned their letters: Henry Harms, Eric Claassen, Eric Penner, John Buller, Jr., Clarence Rupp, Vernon Bansemer, and Arthur E. Miller. Henry Harms was high point man for the season with 36 points. The other track men with points won were: Eric Claassen 24, Eric Penner 16, Vernon Bansemer 21, John Buller, Jr. 17, Arthur E.

Ei ght y-Seven time GllAt'YMAl7.UUN Milf ' Tumbling I T Tumbling, because it develops especially physical alertness and poise and because it is a sport of considerable fascination, has become a recognized activity among ath- letics at Bethel. The women students as well as the men, have worked diligently throughout the season. A variety of work on the mat, with the horizontal bar, flying rings, rope, and spring board, and pyramid building, has been the regular practice of the teams. Tumbling furnishes special attractions at some of the school functions, and in the spring of the year a complete performance is given by the women's and men's teams. The Women's group was composed of twenty-five members who practiced prin- cipally on pyramid building. Florence Reusser, Agnes Schmidt, Rosa Duerksen, Mil- dred Beecher and Verna Penner, since they had had experience in tumbling, formed the nucleus of the group and performed the more difficult tasks. Those on the men's team were: Harold Kuehney, Herman Schroeder, Albert Graber, Wilton Hawk, Jake Graber, John Landis, Ted Schmidt, Ardith Williams, Waldo Kliewer and Marion Williams. Eighty-Eight Q V M Women's Athletic Letters Viola Krehbiel, Minnie Richert. Elizabeth Baergen, Violet George Florence Reusser, Agnes Schmidt, Charlotte Regier On the basis of merits earned during a period of about two years steady work in athletics, the women students of Bethel have the opportunity of earning an athletic letter. For the letter a total of 500 points in various athletic activities are needed. Among these are tennis, basketball, baseball, volley ball, swimming, quoits, bicycling, horseback riding and hiking. The letter B was first granted in Bethel in January 1925, when Martha Schrag and Stella Wentzel succeeded in securing the required number of points. Since then eight others have through constant, invigorating effort earned the prized letter HB . In 1926 letters were granted to Viola Krehbiel, Minnie Richert, Regina liliewer, Elizabeth Baergen and Violet George. Those receiving their letter in 1927 were: Florence Reusser, Agnes Schmidt and Charlotte Regier. Eighty-Nine Soccer Back Row: Williams, 0'Hara, J. Becker, Landis, Trout, Boggess. Graber, F. Wiens, R.

Becker, Wiebe The open field game of soccer is a new sport for this section of the country. Nevertheless, it has received recognition because it is a fascinating game for the spec- tator as well as for the player, and because a large number of players may take part. Soccer requires much running and thus provides plenty of physical exercise. The first soccer team at Bethel was organized in the spring of 1925 with Ferd Wiens as captain. Ted Schmidt headed the team in the fall of 1925 when Bethel won its first soccer victory by defeating Friends. Several games were played in the spring of 1926. Additional interest was shown in soccer in the fall of 1926. Ferd Wiens coached the squad and Nez Graber was captain of the team. In a thrilling game Bethel defeated Southwestern, league champions. Captain Graber, Rudi Wiens, and Marion Williams were named on the all-state team. The following men earned soccer emblems: Nez Graber, Rudi Wiens, Marion Williams, Loren Trout, Sewall Voran, Earl O'Hara, Anton Richert, John Landis, John Becker, Harold Boggess, Arthur E.

A Bethel's Endowment Like all other schools in the North Central school area and aspiring to accredited collegiate standing, Bethel College is confronted by the necessity of raising its endow- ment fund to iB500,000 for 200 students and an additional 350,000 for every additional 100 students. Some who are not very well informed on school matters have inter- preted this requirement of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools as an attempt to crowd the denominational colleges to the wall. This cannot be the proper interpretation, since a large number of the voting members of the Associa- tion represent denominational colleges, and most members who represent state insti- tutions are themselves members of churches and thus interested in the welfare of the schools of their own denomination. The aim of the Association is not to kill any existing school but to help those that have any promise of life to become better schools. Bethel College is always ready to support any program that means the betterment of school work, whether this work is its own or of other schools. Bethel College in- vites students to its halls because of certain advantages that come from attending a smaller college. We do not think that these advantages should be offset by disad- vantages resulting from attendance in a non-accredited school. There is sufficient wealth among the constituency of Bethel College to make the required sum a possi- bility. For the above reason Bethel College is endeavoring to collect the ?'p500,000 endowment fund. The fund raising campaign for Bethel has to be done more quietly than is usual for such work. The constituency of Bethel College is of a quiet type. The usual financial drive is not popular and therefore not very successful. It is unpopular primarily for its expensiveness. Most donors want their gifts to count for the school without any deductions for a campaigner. Furthermore, these potential donors are scattered from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast. The approach therefore has to be made personally. Argument instead of excitement has to be used. The appeal must be to the reason and not to feeling. The disadvantage of this kind of campaign is that it is slower, the advantage that fewer unredeemable pledges will be made. Fewer persons will be offended by this kind of campaign. About six months of this kind of soliciting has yielded approximately S90,000. Our total Endowment Fund now stands at about S300,000, not counting dormitories that yield a net rental. The larger number of our constituents have not yet been seen. The city of Newton is only partly solicited. Many donors have said we should come again towards the close of the campaign. Taking all of these considerations into ac- count we think the prospect of getting the fund looks good. Each friend of the institution doing his share and not waiting for others to do it will put the work over. -DR. J. W. KLIEWER. lfinety-Seven Prof. G. A. Haury, Sr. f Probably most institu'io11s of le'u'n- infg have had associated with them during their pioneer days, men whose names have become almost synony- mous with the institution with which they were identifiedg men, whose lives helped to lay deep the founda- tions of their institution, and to mold its policies into forms which exertel a far-reaching influence upon the character and progress of the instit'1- tion. It was so with Prof. G. A. Haury. It is almost impossible for us to think of the early days of Bethel Collewe without havinr the pic- ture of Prof Haury rise before ou mindsg and the mere mention of his name in almost any of the commun- ities of our Western District Confer- ence, and even beyond, brings to m'nd Bethel College and the pioneer work in higher education among our people. For 24 years it was my privilecre, and I count it a real privilege, to bi associated with him on the faculty ol' Bethel Collewe, During' all this time he showed himself to be a man of ex- ceptional soundness of judgment and clarity of vision. He could quickly see the essence of a problem that pre- sented itself and generally as promot- j ly suggest a solution for it. Thou'-th l according to present standards his education was somewhat limited, an intellect of unusual native strength coupled with ft habit of close observation, and supplemented by wide reading and con- siderable traveling gave him a culture and refinement, a broadmindedness and toler- ance not surpassed by many men of much hisrher educational attainments. He had the courage of his convictions, and these convictions were not lightly held. His ideals of education were not those of the narrow minded specialist, neither was he an admirer of the kind of intellectualism that is so rampant in education today. He held that edu- cation should train not only the head. the hand and the eye, but the heart and conscience as well, that it should make for efficiency not only in the professions or in higher intellectual pursuits, but that it should prepare for genuire Christian service. He was therefore an ardent church member, regarding his duties to the church as second to none. His public spirit was manifested in various ways. Any worthy community enter- prise could count on his support, morally and financially too. if such support was needed. A fine sense of humor, a ready wit and good conversational powers made him socially a favorite. These qualities too made friends for him. And these friends once gained were rarely lost, for the same qualities that made them retained their friendship. As a teacher he lived up to the highest ideals of the profession. His success in the classroom was easily above that of the average teacher, and no one could come under his instruction in the classroom without feeling the influence of his strong personality and having' his life enriched thereby. Time will not soon efface the impress of his 33 years of loving labor and sacrifice for Bethel College: and the memory of his unstinted service in, and loyal devotion to, the cause of Christian education among' our people must ever remain one of the precious heritages of Bethel College. -P. J. WEDEL. i Ninety-Eight 13 zz M'r--1AD.o ON 'aff 1 lln Hllemnriam Last fall, just previous to and after the opening days of the school, three of our fellow-students passed away, leaving our school family and their loved ones to mourn their loss, and it is fitting that we should here erect a little monument to their memory. FRANK ADRIAN, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Adrian, was born on a farm near Inman, Kansas, Aug. 14, 1903. He was educated in his home district, the Hoff- nungsau preparatory school, and the Buhler high school. At the age of twenty he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior and became and remained a consistent member of the Huffnungsau church. In 1925-26 he attended Bethel College, and the B. C. Monthly says of him, Frank was a quiet, thorough and conscientious student, and his charac- ter was appreciated by his fellow-students. He enrolled again last fall, but on Mon- day, Sept. 13, he became seriously ill with symptoms of hydrophobia, the cause of which was traced back to scratches from a rodent received a few weeks before. All efforts to save his life proved to be in vain, and he died in the Bethel hospital, Wed- nesday. Sept. 15. He met his death with a living faith in Jesus. EDWARD FLAMING. the son of Rev. and Mrs. Peter Flaming, was born Sept. 2, 1900, on a farm in McPherson county, Kansas. In the home of his godly parents he was brought up under wholesome Christian nurture. After he had passed through the district school, he completed a two-year course in the I-Ioffnungsau preparatory school, also the Bethel Academy course, and took nearly two years in Bethel College, return- ing home sick in June 1926. Though not strong physically, he was a good student and could always be depended on to do his work to the best of his ability. In his nine- teenth year he was converted to love and live a life in Jesus Christ, was baptized and received into the fellowship of the Hoffnungsau church whose faithful member he re- mained to the end. He died Aug. 23, 1926, in the blessed hope and happy in the Lord. NOVALIS THIERSTEIN. the son of Prof. and Mrs. J. R. Thierstein, was born at Bowil, Bern, Switzerland, May 21, 1908, coming to America with his parents when they returned from their studies abroad. He received his education at Effingham, Kas., Bluffton, O., and at the Bethel Academy. In 1925-26 he was a freshman in Bethel College. Although he had a slightly erratic heart, he had now grown to be a strong, promising young man, was a favorite in school, and won some honors in read- ing and debating. Last summer, with other college boys, he tried his metal as a book salesman, but not able to stand the strain, he had to come home. About August 10 it developed that he had contracted typhoid fever and a malady worse than this, a toxic goitre. was now found to wear away his vitality. Taken to the Bethel Hospital the young life valiantly strufrfrled against these odds, but in spite of it and the best of nursing and medical skill his life was not to be spared. He passed away on the evening of Sept. 18, 1926. His body was laid to rest in the Emmaus cemetery near Whitewater. l Edward Flaming Frank Adrian Novalis Thierstein Ninety-Nine ' is RAQY M A D. o 0 N as The Passing of the Academy With the passing of' the year 1926-27 the Bethel College Academy becomes a closed chapter of Bethel history. Beginning as it did with the school's inception it came to have a life of approximately forty years. The school was founded primarily with a view of serving effectively its immediate constituency, and aim of attaining conformity with established and standardized state institutions was very remote, if it existed at all. For that reason in its first stages it was not so much an academy as it was a somewhat strange combination of academy, college, seminary, normal school, school of fine arts, and a school for culture in general. During the forty years, of its life the institution had a varied history. It saw more than three thousand students enrolled. Many of these have grown old, and not a few have doubtless passed on. All passed out into life, each to make his contribution toward a better World. Teachers came and went thruout the years, some of whom served many years, others but few. Cf these the one who served longest was Professor G. A. Haury, whose death occurred in June of 1926. Probably the only teacher livinqf. of the school's beginning, is Reverend H. H. Ewert, principal of the institute at Gretna, Manitoba. The work which the academy offered in the course of its existence was not always standardized. For many years it did work even as elementary as seventh and eighth grade today. Reading, writing, arithmetic, geography.-all were regularly established courses. Work was also done above academy rank. Students enrolled in the academy frequently took such courses as Ethics, Philosophy, and Xenophon's Anabasis. The earliest extra curricular activities of the school were probably limited to two literary societies: Der Germania Verein, and The Belle Lettres Society. These formed a vital part of the Bethel Academy and erstwhile members of those organizations feel today that present similar organizations offer little that is comparable in point of thorough preparation and effective presentation. It was not until 1908 that the Bethel Academy conformed sufficiently with state regulations to become state accredited. Up to 1912 the graduates of Bethel College formed but one class, no matter which of the six or seven courses they may have finished. After 1912 thegraduates of the academy formed a class separate from that of the college. In the first year of the division, 1912, there were twenty-three gradu- ates in the academy and six in the college. The one gradually decreased in numbers and the other increased, until the present year when the academy has but twelve graduates in its class while the college has twenty-one. Altho the enrollment in the academy for years passed the two hundred mark, in late years, with the establishment of accredited high schools in surrounding com- munities, the number decreased rapidly. This decrease was so marked that in the present year, 1927, the total enrollment is but twenty-nine. To remain accrediteil with so small a number was entirely too expensive to Warrant existence. For that reason. the constituents, at their annual meeting in the fall of 1926, voted to discontinue the academy with the close of the year 1927. Thus terminated an institution which was created for a noble purpose and which served that purpose admirably, but when its period of usefulness had passed, it like- wise had to pass. -J. E. LINSCHEID. One Hundred Nl Fitmamvlx Academy students, although few in numbers, have taken a lively interest in many activities during the last year. Athletic contests with high schools of the county, such as were held in previous years, were almost impossible because of the small enrollment of boys, A basketball team, however, was organized and several games were playeil with Walton High School. In the Harvey County High School literary and music coniests, the Bethel students showed up well, notably in the literary events. The followfng placed: Essaye-Otto Richert, first, extemporaneous speaking'i0tto Rlchert, third: oration-David Wedel, first, reading-Martha Unrau, fouithg boy's solo-David Wcdcl, th'rd. Second place was given to the Bethel Academy in the cvunty scholarship contest, sponsored by the Newton Rotary Club. Silver loving cups were presented to the schools winning first and second places in the meet. lndiv'dual results were as follows: Amer- ican history-Alfred Regier, thirdg physiology-Walter Dyck, second, Agnes Schmidt, third, English-Lena Schmidt, first, and Elin: beth W'ebe second: psychology-Otto R'chert, first, general science-Lena Schmidt, firstg geometry-Arthur Regier, second, Civics-Mary Jantzen, second, and Louis Jantzen, thirdg physics-Arthur Regier, first, and Alfred Regier, third.

One Hundred and Twenty KW G il AYM A ll O il hi K The Fresh as journalists Each spring the freshman English classes edit several issues of the Collegian in which conventionality and dignity are cast aside. These papers usually contain much that is humorous, that is, much that is intentionally humorous, and also, some that is humorous otherwise, being the production of serious, deep thinking, poetic-minded amateur writers who are in quest of immortal fame. Following are some verbatim extracts: Taken from the editorials: .... Let us not be too hasty in denouncing the discontent of our associates. Let us remember that discontent is not the instrument of Satan. It is rather one of the inevitable gifts to man out of which grow greater, grander, and nobler things. U .... Spring, to a student, means many a distraction from his studies. The balmy air seems to put life into the stage of drifting and dreaming. At times we want to just sit, and sit, and not even think. .... Then there is the thought of those terrible lessons to prepare, screeching at us in the cool evening when a pleasant walk would be more to our liking. The glamour of vacation looms but a little ways ahead but with it are accompanied heart- breaking thoughts of final examinations the results of which determine whether or not we will be treated gracefully when we reach home. After all we love the wisdom of our season man and in unison we proclaim our adoration of spring. .... Why the bare soil along the sidewalks? Why so many paths across the corners? Do our feet ache to tread on hard walks? Are the cement walks too narrow, or are we too wide for the walks? Are we so anxious to get to our classes that we must cut across the corners? Or do we lack appreciation for the beautiful?

The father, J. W. Unruh, was also hen- pecked by these three. Prince Charming, better known as David J. R. Hofer, was planning to execute a ball in honor of his latest crush, Florence Horry. Official chaperons were to be thc king and queen, Schmidt's Ted and Helene Ruthee, respectfully yours. Among the guests were the Duke of Byler, Marquis de Buhler, Lord H. Harms, and Abraham von Ratzlaff. Formal invitations were also sent to the J. W. Unruh family, but as usual Gladyne viciously refused to let Stella and her papa go with them. After Gladyne, Esther, and Helen had gone to the ball, Stella deiected and sad, tuned in on Sarah Martens' broadcasting station, JUNIOR. at Newton, Harvey Countv, Kansas. In spite of the roaring static, she clearly heard Ferd Weins' lecture on his latest discovery of a very sweet pill, which, after taking, would even induce a jack rabbit to write poetry on love. Static diminished and she heard the appeasing voice of Henry Milton Harder, second tenor soloist of the Boarding Hall, who sang a little ditty entitled. Don't Send Me Posies when its 'Yousies' that I Need, in all keys rang- ing from F flat to K double sharp. Stella turned off the radio and wept, for it was her chief ambition to go to the ball. Just then her fairy God-mother, Rosa Miller, appeared, waved her magic wand, turned Stella's rags into clever evening apparel. Now to her joyful surprise the Bethel college bus. entrusted to the irresistible care of John Schrag, appeared to take her to the ball. She was gallantly assisted into the bus by Footman Harold Linscheid. while the Detective-in-chief. Dawn Thiessen, and Assistant-Detectivessessess, Teddy Linscheid and E. Stewart, stood guard. Meanwhile the bus-mechanic-in-general Babe Ruth Latschar fwith a worn-out chocolate box as a tool chest and a fire extinguisher as a tire testerj made a last hurried survey of the tires and radiator cap. Over the freshly graded roads J. Schrag delivered the awe-stricken fbut with closed mouthb Stella to the magnificent ball. as the sweet and mellow strains of O, I Wish I Wasn't in Dixie, were being strained from the over-strained and under- trained orchestra with Edward Schmidt as conductor and fireman. The rest of the orchestra was decomposed of Dorothy Tholl at the Steinroad. Elizabeth Penner behind the Jews harp, Martha Hardup before the telephone, and John Buller on the silophone. All eyes of blue, green. and brown fpink for the albinosj were pow turned upon the shimmering appearance of the unknown princess. Florence Horrv's erstwhile beautv faded and vanished before the prince and immediately he gave his undivided attention to the new flame, which glowed before him as a big bonfire. The hands and thumbs of the Big Ben rotated with great celeritv. and the hour which Stella had promised to be at home had arrived before she realized the fact. Now she could no longer be the beautiful princess. and she would have to go back to her former chimney corner. The J. Schrag 8x Co.'s 11:55 bus had left, so she immediatelv took to her heels and sped homeward. In the mad rush Stella lost a slipper, which the prince found as he tried to follow her. The prince's foremost hope was to find Stella. and then embark upon that great sea of matrimony. So Prince David mounted his horse and rode from place to place fittinfr the slipper on many ladies. He also stopped at the J. W. Unruh home, where Gladyne and Helen were anxiously awaiting the trial. To their astonishment the prince passed them up and walked over to Stella. who was sitting in a remote corner. and slipped the slipper on her foot. and. behold, it was a perfect fit. Immediatelv the fairy God-mother appeared and transformed Stella into the same beautiful princess of the hall. Then the prince took Stella with him on his horse to the palace. where a sumptious wedding feast was awaiting them. John Plenert officiated at the cere- monv. and Professor Schmutz of Bethel University rendered Lard on the organ as a wedding march. Following the wedding party, an elegant car appeared with Gussie Unruh as chauffeur. With relativelv slow velocity Willis Rich dismounted from behind the car door and moved toward the prince and princess and after congratulating the newly Weds, he sells them a May Tag. And that's that, and this is this.

On the day before, every time two seniors met they exchanged the greeting, 4:44, which was the time they should arise the next morning and prepare to leave. During the course of the Friday morning classes the remainder of the school after some bewilderment realized that it was the annual senior sneak day. Dr. Kliewer, senior sponsor, had sneaked away also. The trip proceeded smoothly until Dr. Kliewer's Willys Knight refused to follow the straight and narrow and skidded into the fence. Mainly thru the Herculean strength of Herman Esau, the machine was again restored to the middle of the mud road and the procession continued. It was easily breakfast time when the seniors arrived at the Twin Mounds, and the senior cooks, Elma Schmidt and Lydia Siemens, were set to work to prepare some food to satisfy the gnawing hunger of the members. Exploration of the mounds was an after-breakfast stunt. Monica Horsch and D. D. Becker could not stay with the crowd, because, you see, they had to stop and marvel at the gorgeous landscape. An incident of excitement portraying a heroic rescue such as only a movie fan sees on the screen, occurred when the group crossed the river, Louise Entz almost fell in but she was saved by Walt Enns and Phil Voran. About the noon dinner hour, a bright idea struck Clara Latschar, Walt Enns, Vic Haury, and Lewis Linscheidg by' skilful angling they meant to lure enough fish into captivity to provide for the famished gang. But evidently, the fish were wise to their intentions for they repeatedly refused to respond to the tempting invitations of the anglers. To make up for the miserable failure of the fishermen and the fisherwoman, the chief cooks decided to rush a delegation to Galva, six miles away, where ice cream and lemons might be obtained. About two hours later the entrusted delegation, con- sisting of Bernadine Hanna, Walt Enns. Eppy, and Clara Latschar, reappeared on the scene with soft ice cream and squeezed and wilted lemons. Like a pack of hungry wolves the rest howled and growled, somewhat to the discomfiture of the said delega- tion, but the members of this expeditionary force insisted that Galva was farther away than six miles. Perhaps you, dear reader, have heard that sweet old saying, the long- est way round is the nicest way home. Needless to say, everything eatable quickly disappeared. Exercise of a varied nature followed. Some of the seniors climbed the highest hills and batted balls to the would-be ball players below. Several horseshoe games were conducted with Carl Richert and Virginia Kannaple in charge. Later in the afternoon the cane-carriers left for Halstead to enjoy the evening boating. When they arrived, a committee of three was appointed to locate the oars for the boats. These three wise men. Nez Graber, Potentate Rempel, and Jew Esau, set out armed with derbies on their heads and coins in their hands in quest of their prize. After inquiring at thirteen different places and being detained by some spec- tators who persisted in telling how history repeats itself, the three wanderers learned that the oars could be found in a livery stable. After drinking cokes and worrying the confectionary proprietor about catching a seven o'clock train for Salina, the three vagabonds returned to the river with the necessary oars. Just as an afterthot we might add that high school girls, in passing, remarked that the three care-free oarsmen were not as old as they looked. The seniors next entered their university afloat. Ed Kaufman, being captain of the fleet, declared that he would not give up his shape even in time of distress. While sailing o'er the deep sea waters. Vic Haury was caught on the limb of a tree and hung there like a scared monkey between heaven, and the sky blue waters. This was a tremendous argument in substantiation of the evolutionary descendency of man which was under discussion at the time. The boat was reversed and Lydia came to the tree climber's rescue. Nez acted as the leader of the orchestra by keeping the portable music box wound. Striking matches to locate the records proved disastrous to his fingers. . After an enjoyable voyage the seniors returned to their embarking place, and since it was a late hour of the night. they started for their final destination-the Bethel campus. Everyone agreed with enthusiastic vote that the sneak hike was lots more fun than a day of recitation, studying, and laboratory work.

I A Night at Goetz Hall The evening began much as other evenings do. Hawk came home from supper with his daily supply of bread to be used whenever any sausage happened to be in the larder. Hohmann, as usual, had slipped off to his nightly revels. Ed Kaufman, too, had disappeared in the general direction of the Leisy Hall. And John Buller was on his old beat at the Irish Castle. These three are retained by the Goerz Hall group merely as honorary members since their present activities are largely confined to the neighboring institutions just mentioned. The afternoon of this momentous day had been a fitting prelude to the night. Arthur R. Miller and Al Friesen had had soothing treatment at the Axtell Hospital. Rudi Wiens had had his first date. Of course, he denied it: but. since this was the third time that he had gone riding with Willis and two of Miss White's charges, the assembly of the whole officially proclaimed Rudi's first date. Tennis with the lady champion of the college had again been Art E. Miller's afternoon diversion. After supper some of the students. who were interested in securing the endowment fund, immediately turned their attention to their books, or some other activity whose purpose was the elevation of the college standards. Herb Schmidt began one of his scathing editorials on the Y room and radiator courses, or was it final examinations? In room I, Williams and Rupp settled down to a hard evening's work on algebra and the eight national health rules: while in his poet's den at the head of the backstairs, Friesen massacred Webster, the Century hand-book and all other members of that species in an attempt to instill his ideals of life into the student body by the Shakes- pearian system of distribution. The next thing to be noticed in the evening routine was Ernest Balzer's consuming thirst for knowledge. Balzer was stored in his room with some elevating literature on affectionate correspondence and aesthetic dancing. Peace reigned for a few moments. but suddenly the ceiling was shaken by an on- slaught of thumping and pounding that threatened to rival the fall of Jericho. A hur- ried investigation followed. for perhaps the long awaited White House invasion had materialized. But the search revealed only Eppy who was practicing the latest version of the tango with an occasional attempt at the Black Bottom. Everyone waited pa- tiently because a suppression of these impassioned outbursts might cause a serious mental complex. After an almost indeterminable period, Eppy's strength gave way and he succumbed into a chair. With a sigh of relief Ferd went to bed, while the others returned to their usual occupations. At nine o'clock Clint suddenlv came home from one of his rook parties for four. The early return was explained. however. when he left with his skates, for the rook party had been turned into a midnight skating party. There was a time when Clint was a man with a mind of his owng but even he succumbed to the wiles of one of the daughters of Eve. The next two hours were uneventful except for one brief interval just before Phil went to bed. At this time it was his custom to indulge in a few strains fvery strainedl of Tie Me to Your Apron Strings Again. Between 10:30 and 11:00 p. m. the usual fight was staged in the attic arena. This time the Graber cousins tangled and a bed dumping fight developed. Finally, Ferd Wiens, deputy dean, summoned Herman Schroeder. the sergeant, and under the strong arm of the law, the disturbance was soon quieted. After the law had taken its course. the events of the night were over for the majority of the inmates. But a few incidents occurred after this time. An hour and a half after closing time for the Leisy Dorm, Al Miller turned in with his usual alibi. Tlris tame he had gotten stuck in a wheat field and had to borrow the college bus to get ou . Just as Miller got to bed, Friesen came running in, all unstrung because his car and Ewy had not vet returned. A hurried investigation discovered Friesen's car in front of the Leisy home. Evidences of a conference, which would prove the climax of the evening's events, were all too evident. The air became tense with expectancy as the crisis drew near. Finally, at 2:00 a. m. affairs terminated in a manner satisfactory to all concerned and Ewy came home, enraptured with dreams of future bliss. This marked the culmination of events, and all retired for the night except Balzer whose four ambitions in life remained unrealized. But if you are as tired of this as I am, you are ready to say: Goodnight. One Hundred and Thirty-Two isqa .k,,,, ,g.,,.?..-. nn.-.1 av UWA: yr I 'n'-- v 4 v l ,,i ..i . ..

One Hundred and Thirty-Eight The End of a Task With one supreme motive in mind, that of portraying the Bethel of 1926-,27 in its truth and entirety, we have labored on a task which has merited our best efforts,- that of producing the 1927 Graymaroon. Around the theme Great Foundations, Now and Then, we have endeavored to build an enduring record of the friendships and events of the last year-a record to ever serve as a stimulus to memories of the faces and happenings of former days. Now that the task is complete, cur thoughts are naturally on the many short- comings in our endeavors. We find that fond ambitions have never been fulfilled, nevertheless, our best and most faithful efforts are represented in the making of this book. We are indebted to the entire student body, who through its spirit of co-operation made possible the production of this Graymaroon. Especially to lhe annual staff and the others who contributed much time and efforts to the compiling of this book, as well as to the faculty, do we owe our sincere gratitude. The work of Elizabeth Penner, Sewall Voran and Paul Voth is deserving of special mention. Much credit is due the Mid-Continent Engravers for their assistance in planning the book, and especially for the art and design throughout its pages. The fine photographic work and willing service of the Stovall Studio, and the prompt and exacting work of the Kansan Printing Co., is worthy of a great deal of credit. Finally, we extend our hand to Mr. Richert, who not only managed the book, but took a part in the editorial work as well. No editor ever had a more loyal manager. Our fond ambition has been to produce a book Worthy of the school associations it will memorialize. If it meets with your approval, our hopes are realized and our labors have not been in vain.
