Dur- ing this time he has come to mean much more than a Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy to his students and colleagues, as is abundantly attested by them and by the affectionate name of Uncle Davy. 3 A -if QQ f Q 0 DK- J ' '- ff K t fi Q A 'V kv A 9 fi 5 ffltil favdofsxv C?- hf7D'il NZ V U , rafting oruwr V Q as As the seasons gently roll . . . for nine months 6 'Ng sig J we move gradually along, almost unaware of the lf changing seasons, the end of summer, fall, Win- Y l Cf v f - - - - K I JL! ter and then-Spring! . . .

His determination to conquer obstacles, his vision and keen foresight, and his inspired leadership of Bethel College since l932 have helped to maintain and increase the usefulness of the College as a child of the Mennonite Church. Author, lecturer, missionary, teacher, administrator-Dr. Kaufman is an understanding president whose loyalty to the school is expressed in his untiring efforts in her behalf for the sake of the larger interests of Christ and His Kingdom. A graduate of Bethel College, President Kaufman continued his education at Witmarsum Theological Seminary, Garrett Biblical Institute, Columbia University and the University of Chicago, from which he received his Ph.D. degree in l928. ln 1939, Bluffton College honored him with an LLD. it A mr:-gnu Il ll i O Il ll V.

He also serves as instructor in Philosophy and Religion. oil We Welcome Dr. Fretz's return to the Bethel College family. Be- sides acting as Dean of Men, he serves as an instructor in the Social Science Division and has willingly given his time for the welfare of the students. 0 Ohm The girls at Bethel are fortunate to have such a charming and dignified person as Mrs. Harsh- barger for their Dean. Her office is often filled with students either seeking advice or just en- gaged in an interesting conversation. She also serves as an Assistant in Home Economics. Adlhinistrcmllvf., Psrsonnil.

The Board of Directors of Bethel College is the legal representative of the Bethel College Cor- . poration of the Mennonite Church of North America. These thirteen members and the two alternate members of the board, who are elected at the annual meeting of the corporation for a term of six years, are responsible for Bethel College to the people. The term of office of the members is so arranged that not more than three are elected at one time. lt is a policy to include in the member- ship men from various professions, such as ministers, educators, physicians, and others, no more than one-third being drawn from any one vocation. Brllhij, Loungi. 061.0115 ation. The Women's Association is one of Bethels most active organizations. lt is composed of Women who are interested in the welfare of the college. To accomplish this aim, the women have had some outstanding projects, such as the installation of the pipe organ in the chapel and the large electric oven in the kitchen, equipping the college kitchen with many other things, re- decorating the reception of the girls' dormitory, furnishing drapes for the dining hall and the rec- reation room, and laying a tile floor in the dining hall. At the present, it is raising money to build either a new girls' dormitory or an annexation to Carnegie Hall. This organization sponsors banquets and does canning for the college. lt is through their undying energy and deep devotion to the college that they have become an indispensable organization to Bethel and to Christian Education. Members of the Board are: Mrs. I. E. Entz, President, Mrs. Paul Baumgartner, Vice-President, Mrs. Herman R. Graber, Secretary, Miss Selma Schmidt, Treasurer, Mrs. I. I. Siemens, Banquet Chairman, Mrs. P. S. Goertz, Program Chairman, Mrs. Edwin H. Haury, Membership Chairman, Mrs. August Epp, Member, Mrs. G. B. Entz, Member, Mrs. H. S.

Some spend the greater part of their school day in the laboratories. The stacks show the scene of some studious person seeking enlightenment. From the music hall comes the sound of a vocal exercise or a piano concerto. The Inn is the scene of various' congregationse- two dazed freshmen are discussing the chem. test and comparing formulas they thought they knew. A committee is discussing plans for the coming Saturday's play-night. And, of course, there are those who are enjoying a little relaxation before their next class. All these and many other factors comprise the Bethel family. In the following pages a few members of the family are shown in the various fields and activities on our Bethel Campus. These students have not been chosen as the ideal representative, but rather as a typical representative of their particular fields. However, the students in the Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities were chosen by the faculty and student body to represent Bethel in that national organ- ization. The remaining pages are devoted to certain types of fields. They are as follows: Christian Service-Arnold Nickel and Richard Batzlaffg Efficiency-Neva Belle Work and Kathryn Vothg Athlete-Kenneth Schroedery Charm-Elsie Neufeldp Internationalists-Ioan Fletcher and Viola Siemensp Virtuoso--Rupert Hohmannp Intellect-Rosella Reimerg and Humorist-Sam Schmidt. 35 A. ...n....:,1f5i Lbllo' Lb ELEANOR DUERKSEN STELLA WALTNER O C9 'wg fl J HIJIM, ,1 - ' .

This is a represent- ative body of students and is interested in secur- ing co-operation of the students with the faculty and with each other in order to foster a dynamic school spirit. lt also serves as a student govern- ing council with responsibility for encouraging proper conduct. The Council has direct supervision of the Beta Kappas, the Women's and Men's Governing Councils and acts in an advisory capacity to all other student organizations. During the course of the year all of the heads of the various clubs are invited to attend and participate in a number of council sessions for the discussion of common problems. The editor and business manager of the Col- legian and the Graymaroon are chosen by the Student Council. Seated. left to right-Dean Goertz, Advisor, D.

The latter included Rosella Reimer,-Charles Lehrman, Neva Belle Work, Anne Marie Regier, Arnold Wedel, Hermie Preheim, Meribeth Nachtigal and Marjorie Linscheid. Mary Lou Rich was the editor of the Academy section. Special thanks should be given to the photographers, Widick Schroeder and George Kingery, and the artists, Billie Clegg and Hildegarde Peters. The devel- opers also deserve recognition for their services. They included Marjorie Wiebe, Faire Stucky, Leonard'Bartel, and Melvin Funk. i This year's Graymaroon Staff was completely inexperienced, none of them ever having been on the staff before. As a result, much of the work was done cn a trial and error basis, but all-in-all it was an interesting experience. 53 heir , -at - W. . . , .. Front row-S. Waltner, F. Waltner, Gerbrand, Fast, B.

Hohmann, the Bethel College A Cappella Choir again has been a source of inspiration to its members and to those listening to it. The choir spent a total of twelve days giving concerts in the churches and schools in Mennonite communities in Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. Due to better traveling conditions it gave its services in an increasing number of en- gagements to surrounding communities, including a concert at Wichita. The selected choir of fifty-four voices also gave the traditional The Seven Last Words by DuBois during the Easter season, and the music for The Christmas Tableau at Christmas. In addition they participated in the annual rendition of the Mes- siah by the Community Chorus. WALTER H. HOHMANN Director This organization has also sung at programs, socials, con- ferences, and Sunday morning services, through the school year. 54 The orchestra with a nucleus of college musicians invited sev- eral musicians from surround- ing communities, making a well- balanced orchestra to Work un- der the baton of Professor Vilas R. Gerber. The orchestra made several appearances in sur- rounding communities, played at the Booster Banquet and gave an annual Spring Concert. One of the major achievements was that of helping in the annual renditions of the Messiah led by the capable concertmaster, Walter Hohmann. Ordmmtro. Thr, Nh:-sinh, rub The strains of the majestic Hallelujah chorus again thrilled a vast audience in Me- morial Hall the Sunday before Christmas vacation. This was the eighteenth consecutive perform- ance and the fifth appearance in Memorial Hall. The orches- tra, two pianos, four excellent soloists, and a well trained mass choir, helped to make this again, another unforgettable perform- ance. The soloists were: Miss Ruthabel Rickman, Soprano, Miss Wilma Osheim, Alto, Mr. Herbert Sherman, Tenor, and Mr. Herbert Gould, Bass. Ac- companists were Mrs. Erwin Goering and Miss Alta Mae Un- ruh. Mr. Vilas Gerber was the Director of the orchestra and Mr. Walter Hohmann again directed the choir. The dramatics department is gradually being revived. A three hour course in dramatics was offered during the first quarter. On November 9 the all school play, Going Places, was presented in Memorial Hall. The three-act comedy was directed by Eldon Graber, the dramatics instructor. Other dramatic activity on the campus was the annual Christmas pageant. In collaboration the art, music, and dramatics department prev sented this pageant. A German Christmas pro- gram and a low-German play, De Bildung, were two plays presented under the direction of Cornelius Krahn. Hes Two exhibits by the art department have shown the various types ot work done by Miss Lena Waltner's classes. The emphasis has been on crafts and design Where the students have Worked with leather, clay, weaving, pottery, and various metals, as Well as textile painting. At Christmas time the display of charming greet- ings at the book store demonstrated the silk screen process used by the art department. The addition of the kiln, which is used for fir- ing pottery, has made this a special year for this department. Put Dzpuximumt I-:ml Hall Szrlzs Guy Gephart, Rhys Davies, Dean Goertz.

On Him the foundations of our School are established. From Him we receive the help and inspiration that make all knowledge and all contacts worthwhile. Endeavoring to foster this spirit of Christ centeredness is the aim of Bethel College. Consequently, religious activities play an important part in the life of the students. Dr. Henry A. Fast is faculty director of the spiritual life program in school. The Student Christian Association carries on a program of activity that gives all mem- bers an opportunity for expression and participation. Ninety per cent of the student body are members of S.C.A., and they serve on their choice of committees. Wednesday chapel services and Sunday evening programs, under S.C.A. leadership, are also conducted by the students. Another worthwhile activity of the S.C.A. is the Big Sister and Big Brother program, which helps new students become acquainted at the beginning of the year. The 'spirit of the S.C.A. is greatly strengthened by those who attend intercolle- giate conferences, especially the summer conferences at Estes Park, Colorado. High point in the Student Christian Association and in the lives of its members is Christian Life Week. Held during the month of October, this week of services has become an annual event. Its purpose is to discover anew what it means to be a Christian, to ap- preciate more fully the Person, Teaching, and influence of Iesus Christ as Lord and Sav- iour, and to find ones place in the eternal plan and purpose of God. The Rev. Russel Mast of Wadsworth, Ohio, was secured as leader. In morning and evening meetings, he pre- sented the theme: A Faith Adequate for our Need. 58 5 l . 4. gialpsi. Dr. Henry A. Fast. The Student Volunteer Movement also tills a vital place in the spiritual life of the stu- dents. Every Tuesday night the members meet for a period of fellowship and discussion. Qutside speakers as well as students contribute to the interesting and challenging pro- grams. Three times a week the group sponsors prayer meetings led by students. A thought for the day on the bulletin board is another service of the S. V. Contact with churches in other communities is maintained through the services of the S.V. deputatton program. The mission theme is predominant in all the Student Volunteer activities. Through these weekly meetings, prayer meetings, and deputation programs, spiritual life is fostered and strength received. Bible Vfeek, with sessions morning, afternoon, and evening, is a mountain top expe- rience in the religious life of the school as well as in the religious life of the surrounding community. Speakers this year were the Bev. I. N. Smucker, president of the General Conference, and the Bev. William Beahm, dean of Bethany Biblical Seminary. The Bev. I. N. Smucker discussed the book of Philippians in the afternoon, and presented The Masters Friends, a series of character studies in the evening. Afternoon addresses ofthe Bev. William Beahm centered around the missionary challenge under the topic Cro Ye Therefore. I-fis evening messages concerned the vital subject of Christ and our Modern World. Every day students attend chapel for inspiration and enlightenment. Speakers repre- senting various points of view share their thoughts and convictions with the students and faculty. Interest of the students in these assemblies can be noted by their keen attention and respect to the speakers. A devotional period, consisting of organ music, hymn sing- ing, scripture and prayer, creates an atmosphere of worship and meditation. The religious life on the Bethel College Campus is something much deeper than the outward expression in religious activities. It is the spirit within the students seeking to know and give their best to the Creator of the Seasons. f'H3f l... Baba mags uma, THE CHURCH There are re-occurring seasons in church life as well as in the realm of nature. The Bethel College Church centers its program of worship and activity around the church seasons. Each of these church seasons points to the coming of Christ at Christ- mas. ' As a place of worship the Bethel College Church offers stu- dents a rest from weekly cares. Public worship fulfills a need of the human soul and the church offers opportunity for expression of praise and adoration in fellowship with other Christians. The services of the A Cappella Choir add greatly to the worship serv- ice and foster a spirit of oneness between students and resident church members. ' Worship Services and Sunday School are only part of the program carried on jointly by the Church and the College. Other co-operative activities are: Bible Study during Lent: Holy Week Services during the Easter Season, and The School of Missions during Epiphany. The latter continues for six Sundays and includes a fellowship hour, study period and pictures illus' trating the countries studied. At the beginning of the year a welcoming social is given by the church for the students. This annual event includes games, talks, and refreshments. The Bethel College Church invites students to become as- sociate members While in campus residence. This in no way severs their Home church membership, but gives a channel for closer unity in church life while at school. Students appreciate this expression of welcome as well as the important place the church worship and program has in their lives. 4, . ,,....f'w-Aw ,,. ,. lt 60 ab., If Fifty-seven per cent of the students on the Bethel Campus are regularly employed by the college. Of the remaining forty-three per centq many work either at home or are em- ployed in the city of Newton. With these facts in view, it is quite evident that the co1- lege job is not merely a task separated from the rest of the day's activities, but rather a part of it. There are eight large areas in which stu- dents may be employed at Bethel: mainte- nance work, print shop, work in the dining hall, clerical and administrative offices, sec- retarial bureau, laundry, college inn and the book store. Some positions in these areas in- clude linotype operators, cooks, waiters, dish- washers, inn waitresses, secretaries, janitors, and clerks. Bethel College stands among the first ten colleges of its size in the United States having a definitely organized work program. Her- bert Wiebe, acting as Dean of Labor, has served in this capacity for two years and is to be commended for the efficient service he has rendered. Work has a dignified and respected posi- tion in Bethel's routine of daily activities. Stu- dents learn to accept responsibilitiesp some acquire new skills, many temporary business associates become life long friends., if-wr. l L F F A L , -ww-v .--nl f 5px-Inq wu- t body on March 5. . .

This program began with the regular basketball season of the Kansas Conference and continued to include track and tennis in the spring. Although the final Grayrnaroon cage record does not look too impressive on paper, only five won out of fourteen played, the season was a howling success, not only for Bethel supporters but financially as well. And only one game, that with the McPherson Bulldogs here, could be considered a runaway as the Bulldogs won somewhat easily 53-24. Further proof of the close margins of victory by opponents can be proved by the fact that the Graymaroons averaged almost thirty-nine points per fray while the opposition scored only an average of one point per contest better. Only one college letterman, Denard Loganbill, who lettered previously at Bluffton Col- lege, Ohio, was on hand to greet new Mentor Eldon Graber. But seven high school cage men showed up along with some inexperienced material to give Coach Graber some- thing to work with. The Graymaroon started out by invading the Moundbuilder lair at Southwestern. After a very slow first half the Maroon and Gray outscored the Builders in the second half From left to right-Lehrman, Loganbill, Schroeder, Friesen, H. Kaufman, Franz, W. Kaufman, Ratzlaff.

However, Bethel bounced back the next game to hang up their initial win on the Memorial Hall floor, as they rallied in the last half to win handily over the Ter- rible Swedes of Bethany 43-33. ln the following games the unpredictable Graymaroon just could not get in gear the opening half and consequently lost each fray by a few points. The loss of Virgil Smith at Christmastide was a terrific blow to the squad and woefully weakened the Maroon defense. A mid-season upset over the Baker Wildcats on the local court was further proof of the unpredictable. The boys were hot in some stages of the game and then just as cold in others, Bethel hopes depended on seven boys, five of whom started the school year under draft age and the remaining two were staunch 4-F's. Center Kenneth Schroeder topped the Graymaroon offensive and defensive departments as he rang up better than ten points per contest. Closely behind him, however, were Forward Denard Loganbill with over nine markers per fray and Forward Howard Kaufman with slightly under eight. Guard Max Friesen proved to be the best shot on the squad both in the field and at the free throw line. Fifth regular starter was Chuck Lehrman. However, these boys were pushed con- siderably for starting positions by front end men Earl Franz and Willard Kaufman. Frvm left t0 fighf-'PUHk, Habegger, Unruh, Regier, Ratzlaff, Flasschoen, Wedel.

This program en- ables those students Who do not have the time or ability to participate in varsity intercollegiate athletics, to indulge in some form of team or individual, com- petition each Week. Both boys and girls programs consisted of team competition in volley ball, basket- ball, and softball and individual activities such as badminton and table tennis. Every Tuesday evening the girls participated in some type of intramural activ- ity while on Thursday evening the boys indulged in some similar sport. The college freshmen Won the boys softball title hands down by edging past both the Academy and college upper classmen. The girls tournament was called incomplete because of the change back to Day- light Saving Time, but the Academy girls were gen- erally conceded the victors. Six sextets comprised the boys' volleyball tourna- ment with the Academy White House boys, cap- tained by Edgar Harder, Winning the finale over a strong Academy non-dormitory outfit. The girls tourn- ament found Captain Susan Quiring leading her team to Victory in the finals to Win handily. During the winter quarter there was - fur flying each Tuesday and Thurs- day evening on the Memorial Hall court, Two Academy and two col- lege teams comprised the boys bas- ketball league with the Academy Whites going through the regular season undefeated but losing to their classmates, the Greens in the tourn- ament. The Greens then won the cup by Walloping the Maroons in a lop- 66 sided battle 38-2l. Sparkplugs of the Whites were Edgar Harder, Floyd Bartel, Bob Unruh, and Nelson Beimer While the Greens quintet was led by Eldon Schierling, Eldon Bargen, and Allen Dale Kaufman. Eight teams battled it out for top honors in the girls basketball league with the team captained by Eileen Berner edging past a sextet captained by Betty Neufeld 28-26 to Win the cov- eted girls crown. After the regular intercollegiate bas- ketball season ended, the male fresh- man challenged their supposedly superiors, the upper classman, in bas- ketball, and turned them back, 29-23. Kenneth Schroeder led the freshman attack While Melvin Funk and Denard Loganbill were the offensive bul- Warks for the upper classmen. ln February Ivan Batzlaff defeated Earl Franz two out of three matches to take the table tennis tournament. The month of April was spent play- ing badminton as four tournaments were staged, one for boys doubles, boys singles, girls singles, and girls doubles. Also continuation ol the incompleted fall program of softball is being planned. Miss Mildred Beecher and Mr. Peter Kaufman deserve much com- mendation for the fine way in which they have directed the intramural program of Bethel College this past year.

Back row-Funk, Track lt is.as yet hard to predict how the Graymaroons will stand in the conference in track this year. There are at present no college lettermen working out but in the first meet of the year Bethels thinclads placed third in an invitational meet held at Wichita Univer- sity. No firsts were garnered, but high school letter- men Kenny Schroeder and Howard Kaufman each placed in three events. Schroeder placed in the field events while Kaufman placed in the dashes and hur- dles. About ten boys are working out daily. It is hoped by Track Mentor Pete Kaufman that at least two more meets will be held before the Kansas Con- ference track meet which is scheduled to take place on Baker University's track, May l7th. However, prospects are tar brighter in tennis than in track. Three high school lettermen have been work- ing out daily along with a fourth who has consider- able previous tennis experience. The high school lettermen are Earl Franz, a county champion from Marlin, Washington, lvan Ratzlaff, and Elbert Pan- kratz. Melvin Funk has played considerably while in C.P.S. and ranks with the Graymaroon's best. Tennis matches have been scheduled with Bethany and other meets are in sight. The Kansas Conference tennis meet will probably be held in connection with the track meet which is scheduled to be held at Baker on May 17. ann is L . illnonliiz., U33 uwuk ......v... -. -.. . me-V...-ww--.. ,..v.-.--- ww T- ., v..-v. -1-W-Q -- 5 aculT 114' 'Y o '5fQ!.1 I If ,,,L,.SP ' are-4 4 Vs-again.
