To each individual the year has had its special significance. More than just a group of buildings, Bethel College is a scene for the building of a peaceful world community. It calls men and Women from all parts of the globe to renew happy memories, The Graymaroon staff has attempted to reproduce life at Bethel realistically and accurately. It is hoped that this issue of the Grayrnaroon Will furnish an entertain- ing and informative record of familiar scenes and familiar faces-now as Well as in the future. the Editors. 4 One of the best known and most beloved figures on the Bethel College Cam- pus is that of Dr. I. H. Doell, who for the past thirty-six years has been proa fessor of biology. With his hearty handshake, warm smile, and unique sense of humor he has won his way into the hearts of all. That subtle bit of humor creates in his classroom a cheerful and delightful atmosphere. In those who approach the specimens of a biology laboratory with fear and trembling, he has instilled a new determination and interest. To the students Dr. Doell has been not only a professor but a true and sincere friend. His conversations with students reveal his sincere personal interest in their happiness. As a tribute to his devoted service to Bethel College and his genuine interest in the welfare of every student we dedicate this, the 1947 Graymaroon, to Dr. Iacob H. Doell.

Kaufman's fifteenth year of serv- ice as president of Bethel College. In these fifteen years we see many changes and signs of growth at Bethel. The faculty was enlarged and scholastic standards raised. Bethel became a member of the North Central Association. The student en- rollment has grown from approximately 275 to 550. There are representatives from more than half of the forty-eight states and also eight foreign countries, thus widen- ing Bethel's scope of influence and helping effect a much closer relationship between the college and its constituency. Parallel to these changes, the physical plant was also expanded and improved. The largest single item was the liquidation of the college debt, which amounted to Sl4l,3O0 in 1931. In addition, the net value of the college was increased from S446,200 to Sl,247,4UO. Memorial Hall was built, and plans have been drawn for several more buildings. Dr. Kaufman has the background and experience that is necessary for the posi- tion of president. His career in education began when a missionary in China, at which time he was decorated by the Chinese government for his educational work. Besides his administrative duties, he is also an author and lecturer. He is on the Executive Committee of the General Conference and chairman of the Board of Edu- cation, as well as being a member of several national learned societies. Receiving his A.B. degree from Bethel College, President Kaufman continued at Witmarsum Theological Seminary, Garrett Biblical Institute, and Columbia Univer- sity. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1928. He was honored with an LL.D. by Bluffton College in 1939. 8 MIUW '-M0015 'www eaaaftie Dr. Peter S. Goertz, the well-loved dean of 'our college, has served Bethel faithfully since 1930. Besides fulfilling the numerous and varied activities as dean, he also fills the position of professor of philosophy and religion. Dean Goertz has had a wide field of learning and experience. He received his A.B. degree from McPherson College in l9l4. In 1917 he earned his B.D. degree at Yale Uni- versity, and in l92l his M.A. He received his Ph.D. degree from Yale three years after coming to Bethel. Before coming to Bethel, Dean Goertz served in the Union Theological Seminary in Foochow, China, and later he filled the position of professor of philosophy at Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kansas. With this world of experience as a background, Dean Goertz has worked untiringly for Bethel and for the wider interests of Christ and His Kingdom. As a teacher of philosophy and religion, he has stimulated straight Christian thinking. As a counsellor of young people the Dean has endeared himself to thousands of students. We will always remember the inspiration We have received from his sincere and humble help- fulness and his friendly interest in our problems. Even with his many pressing duties, Dean Goertz does not limit the scope of his work and interest. He is a member of such organizations as the American Philosophy Association. The past year he has served as president of the Deans' Association of Kansas. Missionary, philosopher, teacher, preacher, friend, and guide of students-Dr. Goertz is an understanding dean whose influence on our lives will not die when we leave Bethel. 9 -w-f-W 'ADS ' ,. .LQ Q 6403 2,1 fr 1 x l Dr. I. Winfield Fretz is our Dean of Men. lt is he that comes around upon occasion with Let's clean the halls just a bit more thoroughly. It is he that thinks of rules when we tend to forget them. More important, Dr. Fretz is a wise counsellor in the problems of the men. Dr. Fretz serves in a much broader field than liason agent between the stu- dents and Administration. His classes in the realm of Social Science Will be remembered by all who have taken work in this field. ecwaf7Uamea Mrs. Eva Harshbarger is our unusually well-qualified and charming Dean of Women. She has a sincere interest in each girl and her problems. Bethel girls appreciate her wise counsel, good judgment, and especially her genuine friendliness. Besides her duties as girls' councellor she holds a responsible position on the teaching staff as an assistant in home economics. This year she has demon- strated her versatility by teaching courses in the social science and humanities divisions. She also taught a course in conversational English as a special aid for the foreign students. 10 ri. 1 l' ' ,'. A . . 5 A S HERBERT WIEBE Business Manager 5 N ME? K4 MR. JOHN F.

The council is composed of ten students who are nominated by their respective classes and elected by the student body, thus-together with the dean of the college, the dean of men, and the dean of women, they represent the student body in a governing council with responsibilities for encouraging proper conduct. More specifically, the council sponsors all student body elections, all-school parties, clean-up days, and a freshman orientation program. , The Student Council has direct supervision over the Beta Kappa, the Women's and Men's Dormitory Councils, the social committee which arranges for music and programs at informal dinners and banquets, and the recreation committee which plans week-end cam- pus activities. It elects the editor and business manager of the Collegian with the coopera- tion of the Iournalism Department and supervises the election of the Graymaroon editor and business manager. With the return to more normal conditions, the Student Council this year revived the traditional Homecoming with the crowning of the queen, football game, and the banquet. A newer tradition also sponsored by the Council in cooperation with the Public Bela- tions Department, was the Third Annual Bethel Family Financial Campaign. The receipts of this campaign are to be used for additional concrete tennis courts. 13 Zoned of D' mural if Left to righi: Mr. C. H. Goering, Rev. I. M. Regier, Dr. P. H.

This is the general lield oi the Natural Science Division. Astronomy tells us ot the universe as a whole and oi the place oi our earth in it. Geology deals with the interesting story ot the earth and the changes that are occurring in it. Chemistry deals with the changes in the composition and struc- ture oi matter and oi the energy changes that always accompany them. Physics tells how things work and deals with machines, heat, sound, light and elec- tricity and their many practical applications. Biology is the study oi living things, both plant and animal, and their tunctions and interdependence on one another. Underlying all ot these is Mathematics. so essential to measurement and the exact expression ot the iindings in these other areas.

Hohmann atur e , The departments ot Art, English, French, German, lournalism, Liter Music, Philosophy, Spanish, and Speech comprise the Humanities Division. ln a liberal arts college the tunction ot the humanities should be very clear and definite. Some ot these tunctions are stated as iollows in the Bethel College catalogue: tat To inculcate a love and taste tor wholesome reading, and to broaden the knowledge ot lite and ot nature in the world about us. tbl 'To develop an appreciation and love tor the true and the beautitul so that a lite oi richer signiticance may be achieved by means ot seli-expression, emotional release, and creative ability. tudents in retlective thinking and to acquaint them with the to achieve in the student tel To train the s various systems oi philosophical interpretations, a coherent and integrated Christian philosophy ot lite. Mr. Theodore M. Greene, in his book, Liberal Education Re-examined. ll'larper G Brothers Publisherst, has this to say ot the humanities: The humanities, unlike the sciences, are primarily concerned with values and critical appraisal. Since this subject matter is man's experiences ot value and his ideals and standards, they are directed to what is most intimately and peculiarly human. The disciplines usually entitled the humanities concern themselves with the apprehension, analysis, and interpretation ot expressed insights in the realms ot morality, religion, art and literature. ln so tar as history and philosophy con- cern themselves with lthese insights, they too must be included among the humanistic disciplines. ......-nl pw- Dr. Peter S.

WINFIELD ERETZ The Division ot the Sociai Sciences inciudes those studies speciticaiiy reiated to man and his activities. These studies are grouped under tive departments: Economics, Education, History and Government, Sociotogy and Psychoiogy. Economics deats with the production, distribution and consumption oi weaith, with the basic probiems ot earning a iiving. Education seeks to prepare etemen- tary and high schooi teachers tor our pubiic schooi system through an incuica- tion oi the phitosophy, principies and methods oi transmitting cutture and creat- ing character. History is the record ot man's activities in their time-space reia- tionships, white the reiated iieid ot Government treats the poiiticai systems under which man tives and by which he hopes to maintain the rights oi the individuai and the integration and weiiare ot society. Sociology abstracts trom historicai and contemporary data the principies that characterize group iiving, white Psychology tocuses on the individuai organism in its reiationship and adjustment to the externai worid. The Sociai Sciences are intimateiy reiated to the concerns ot a Christian iiberai arts coiiege in that their point ot reterence is iite rather than the making ot a iiv- ing. They are concerned not so much with things as with man himseit.

The editor and business manager were elected by the Iunior Class and approved by the Student Council. Orville Voth was elected to the editor's position and Virgil Flickinger to that of business manager at the beginning of the school year. They, with Professor Eldon W. Graber, then chose the remainder of the staff. Catherine Regier was chosen as assistant editor and Katherine Voth, assistant business manager. Serving in the capacity of individual section editors were: Kenneth Epp, editing the class Evelyn Goering, editing the labor section, Susan Quiring, editing the faculty and staff section, Willard Linscheid, editing the sports section, and Dean Siucky, editing the activities section. The art Work was given Randy Penner. sectiony Individual pictures and some of the group pictures were again taken by Pete Block of the Moundridge Studio. Most of the other pictures were shot and devel- oped by the editor, Orville Voth. As most of the year's staff had but meager experience along this line, mistakes are probably evident. However, the experience of the work was greatly enjoyed and highly interesting. May the entire book provide the same for each of you. 012 ,W 1, ' i ,, l pi ,. f K' I .

Further investigation would undoubtedly have proved your first suspicion that the Collegian staff was at work. Buried under papers, cuts, glue, srnudges ot printer's ink, and the like, you might have rec- ognized Hildegard Peters, the editor, and one ot her assistants, Rosella Reimer, the associate editor, or Willard Linscheid, the assistant editor. On Wednesday night you would doubtless have also found Ralph Boese on hand to edit the sports page. Catherine Regier edited the soci- 3 ety column. y 3 The Bethel Collegian, sponsored by the Student Council and published by the students, appeared, sooner or later, every Friday. The editor and business manager were chosen by the Student Council, While the rest of the statt Were appointed. The new staff took up its duties 6 the third quarter ot the school year. Like all other organizations, the Bethel Collegian had a business angle. Arnold Wedel, business manager, and Retord Wedel, advertising manager, coped with the financial difficulties involved in publishing a school paper. Edna Boese and Katherine Voth served as distribution and exchange managers respectively. No paper would be possible Without reporters. The reportorial staff numbered about twenty students. A number ot these were members ot the beginning journalism class, some of the W, ,.3Q,,m .W advanced journalism class, and others wrote for extra-curricular credit. glassy' vntithge until I I . a ,M .x.,......,e.ry ham, Smitty may Brush. .-slI'111'f'l4li'D, .1 in C3 .Q Tulifiiiidft Rig kk 1 :H I , 1'hjg arms, tnltsmwi by 1 me 5' in film!

With the exception of two rather humiliating V early-season deteats at the hands of Ottawa and Bethany, Bethel fans were privileged to see a season of hard-fought, closely-contested games. Bethel won, however, only one conference and one non-conference game out of eight. The Bethel team, comprised largely of freshmen, seemed to lack the scoring punch which could easily have given them victory in most ot their games. They found it during the latter part of the season, when they won two out ot their last three games. 72 x Harvey Goering Raymond Lichti Dutch Grundman Bob Olson V, M 4 ' Bob Unruh Q 5 'M-f 3 ,A Mel Flickinger wg Bill Krehbiel Q 'HES 'E Ax i wx . gn! ff Q 15 Jim Baergen 731-Q ,W Q- ' Rueben Goering . tb, A,,- , .. if f' A W -V .- R Gerald Jolley if we I If Raymond Edige' n en er' Varden Loganbill Chuck Lehrman A,,i,g,,,g Coach The Bethel line was practically invulnerable this season, and the team out- gained all but two of their opponents. The forward wall was usually flanked by Dusty Dester and Iigger Reusser at ends. Frank Quiring and lim Baergen shared the tackle positions, and Harold Plenert and Elmer Buhler were starting guards. Regular pivot man was Varden Loganbill. Walter Dutch Grundman did most of the groundgaining for the Graymaroons and served on defense as line-backer. Bill Krehbiel and Robert Funk carried the ball from the half-back positions, and Harvey Goering rounded out the backiield at quarter-back. The two 1946 victories were over the Sterling Warriors and the College of Emporia Presbies. ' -73 Pete Kaufman Assistant Coach Eldon Graber Coach Tully Mel Flickingor gcwkezflaif The Graymaroons emerged this year as one of the most dangerous aggregations in the Kansas Conference in spite of the fact that they completed a rather unsuccess- ful season so far as won-lost records are concerned. With a team composed exclusively of freshmen and sopho- mores, Bethel served notice to conference opponents that it will be fighting for conference leadership in the 1947-48 season. In conference play, the Graymaroons won only four out of twelve contests, but at the same time outscored their opponents by twelve points in season totals. In only one conference affair did the Graymaroons lose by a margin of more than six points and that was when they suffered their worst defeat at the hands of the strong Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes by a 61-46 margin. ln the ma- jority of their games, the Bethel lads built up a lead during the first half, only to fade and bow out in the second. ln their non-conference games they won two from Sterling, and lost two each to the Southwestern Moundbuilders and the Kansas State B squad. Three forwards saw a great deal of action during the year. Melvin Flickinger, Eddie Hershberger, and Erwin Wiens, a late addition to the squad, alternated at the for- ward spots. Kenneth Schroeder held down the center position, and Ransom Stucky and Vardin Loganbill, Bethe1's high-scorer, held down the guard positions.

Last year saw the return of track after a lapse of four years, and the Bethel squad was beginning to take shape this year with the return of several experienced men. Kenneth Schroeder, in the high jump and shot put, and Howard Kaufman in the low hurdles were the only Bethel men to place in the conference meet held at Baker last year. Both of these men were back in school this spring plus two letterrnen of the 1942 season. Ransom Stucky won the low hurdles, took second place in the highs, and came in fourth in centuryg Ralph Boese took second in the high jump and fourth in the half mile in the last pre- war conference meet. The Maroon thin-clads looked especially strong in the track events in pre-season training but rather weak in field events. Wes Prieb, Mel lflickinger, Abie Nikkei, and Orville Voth car- ried the load in the middle distance events, and Ransom Stucky competed in the hurdles together with Dutch Grundrnan and john Balzer. Grundman and Walt Tieszen were the quarter milers, together with Arnold Ewy, who was dogged with a back injury. Wes Prieb, state half mile champion in l94U, represented Bethel in the broad jump, hav- ing jumped around twenty-three feet in high school. Ozzie Goering also participated in the weight department and john Balzer, Schroeder, and,Boese competed in the high jump. 76 1 .i t -af , E21 A 'ff . l 5- r A . Left to right--P. Albrecht, I. Ratzlaff, E. Franz. Bethel College reinstated baseball as a major intercollegiate sport this year after an absence of that sport for many seasons. Diamond facilities had to be built up, equipment had to be purchased, and the team was moulded by Coach Tulley without any lettermen on which to rely. A fairly large squad reported for early season practice, and most of the squad members had had experience either in junior-league ball or on independent or service teams. Coach Tulley has had a great deal of experience as a baseball coach and his methods of teaching fundamentals indicated that baseball is one of his, favorites His stress on pepper- ball, bunting, and eye-hand coordination brought immediate results in playing quality, and the carry-over squad for the 1948 season will show the results of this carefull training. Baseball was an intercollegiate sport on the Bethel campus about a quarter-century ago, but was abandoned as a result of the fatal injury of a player by a pitched ball. As a finale to the year's activities in sports, Bethel entered a well-organized round of tourn- aments in inter-collegiate tennis as part of the planned schedule of events in the spring season. Bethel prospects in both the -singles and the doubles events were exceptional as a squad of fif- teen men werel working out on the turf, perfecting their forward and back-hand strokes. Tennis stock has risen considerably over the last few years. The one court has been in constant use this year whenever weather has been favorable. The half-dozen men seen on the court regu- larly during the year are mostly first-year students. Two easterners-Dave Eigner from Con- necticut and Iohn Henderson from Virginia-showed unique ability in singles play. Eigner employs a lethal all-court attack with'a well-controlled defensive. Chester Goertz, who previ- ously played for Hillsboro high school functions with a Cannonball serve and substitutes speed and timing for a wide and fast-driven stroke. Leland Harder and Harold Wedel are also on the list of regulars Two men, Earl Franz from Washington and Ivan Ratzlaff from Oklahoma, returned as lettermen. 1 77 4 Wtmmmai Zaaketdaw SAD SACKS Front row left to right-A.

Cries of Yea, team, fight! and S-s-s-s-Boom! were heard frequently on Wednesday evenings during the winter and spring quarters, when the girls basketball teams were making their appearance on the Memorial Hall court. Team tournaments were held during the year, and the main tournament was preceded by an introductory inter-class tournament. The tournament was open to any girls who wished to play and was composed of eight teams. Competition Was keen and many of the games were close affairs. Four teams emerged as the top-ranking teams and the teams entering the final play-offs were the Flashy-Lassies, captained by Catherine Regier, and the Katie Dids, led by Katherine Launhart. The teams which reached the consolation finals were the Grayrnorettes and the Super-Seven. Front row left to right-G. Goering, A. Dyck, C. Regier. Second row-L. Voth, I Wedel L Goering, D.

The return of the male students to the campus and the redevelopment of a full athletic pro- gram at Bethel also brought back a few lettermen of previous years. These men organized last fall electing Ralp Boese, presidentp Marvin Dester, vice-presi- dent: and Doc Doell, sceretary-treasurer. x The purpose of this organization is to keep alive the feeling of cornradeship developed during intercollegiate competition and to promote good athletic conditions at Bethel. In order to create more unity between the athletic activities carried on by the school and those who have competed for the Gray and Maroon in the past, a meeting of all Bethel letter- men, past and present, was called during the homecoming festivities. A committee was selected at this meeting to draw up a constitution for a permanent organization of all those who have earned lt was also recommended that the letterclub, with 'the help of the ath- letic department, keep in touch with the members of the organization by sending out news letters. Several of these letters have been sent out during the year. In years before the war one of the big annual events on the Bethel campus was the Buf- falo Bar-B-Q stag feed sponsored by the letterclub. Although it was not possible to revive this project this year, it is hoped that it will be done next year. so t t 1 llil'- ' fi lunior Class Play ,.. Au School WY The dramatics department of Bethel College was more widely expanded this year. The fall quarter of the year found the dramatics department producing an all-school play on Novem- ber 7. The play that was chosen for presentation was lcebound, a former Pulitzer prize winner, The cast of characters had no seniors, five juniors, one sophomore, five freshmen, and one Newton high school student participating. Gordon Kaufman and Rosella Reimer played the leading roles. Professor Eldon Graber directed the play. The dramatics class presented a one-act play Turkey Red which was presented just before Thanksgiving. lt was a class project with the whole play-e-producing, directing, light- ing, costurning, and actingeall being done by members of the class, At Christmas the dramatics department combined with the art and music department to present a Christmas tableaux. The dramatics department worked up the different tableaux which were most effectively presented. The tableaux portrayed the foretelling of the birth of Christ, His nativity, and His adoration. The finished effect was trulyinspirational. A revival of an old tradition was the renewal of the junior class play. The junior class gave as their part in the dramatics program Lee Norvelle's adaptation of the novel, The Hoos- ier Schoolmaster, by Edward Eggleston. This required a large cast of twenty-four characters. Orville Voth and Helen Wiebe had the leading roles. The play was given on February l4. lt was given under the direction of Professor Eldon Graber. Properties for this period play were borrowed from the Kauffman museum. An unusually large audience was present at the per- formance. As the final , gave t eir annual spring play. This completed the work of the dramatics department. The dramatics department is slowly enlarging its properties, costumes, and other equip- ment in order that it may be of service to the dramatics departments of the surrounding com- munities. dramatics production of this year the senior class h ' B! 0 With Professor Vilas R. Gerber wielding the baton, the Bethel College Or- chestra rnet twice weekly this year for rehearsals. Numbering approximately thirty students, the members of this organization enjoyed playing classical, as well as semi-classical, music with Rupert Hohmarm as concertrnaster. The orchestra made its first public appearance at the Parent-Student Day pro- gram. Later it performed at several school plays. One of its major projects this year consisted of accompanying the Messiah soloists, as well as the chorus. This group of players, likewise, accompanied several students in their recitals. In the spring, as a climax to the year's activity, the orchestra presented an eve- ning concert. Organized early in the year, a string quartet consisting of Rupert Hohmann and Katherine Linscheid, violinists, Ioe Duerksen, violist, and Laura Franz, cellist, proved an inspiration at many school and community functions. Flute and clarinet quartets were also organized. 82 Front row, left to right--Lohrentz, Klein, B. Regier, Ll Linscheid, F. Waltner, G. Reimer, E. Stucky, B. Neufeld, V. Schmidt, E.

Over sixty selected voices blended in religious choral interpretation gave inspiration to audiences and singers alike throughout the year. Such was the work of the Bethel College A Cappella Choir under the direction of Professor Walter H. Hohmann. This .year the group welcomed the return of many men to its tenor and bass sections. This addition and diligent work in practice groups aside from regular rehearsal gave the repertoire added depth and a greater perfection oi tone and finesse. The choir this year again gave the music for the traditional Christmas Tableau and pre- sented the Seven Last Words by DuBois on Palm Sunday. Concerts, Sunday morning serv- ices, and special programs were also occasions for campus appearances. Off-campus engage- ments gave the choir opportunity to travel to many parts of the state aside from service in surrounding communities, ln such service the A Cappella Choir again helped to fill the vital need for a musical expression of Bethel purpose and spirit. Before Christmas, the choir became part of the community chorus to present Handel's Messiah This was the nineteenth consecutive performance and the sixth appearance in Memorial Hall. Accompanying a mass choir, numbering more than two hundred voices and four soloists were Miss Meribeth Nachtigal, pianist, and the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Vilas Gerber. Professor I-lohrnann again directed the choir. The excellent soloists who appeared with this group this year were: Miss Maud Nosler, Soprano: Miss Lilliarn Chooka- sian, Contralto, Mr. Theodore Owen, Tenor: and Mr. Herbert Gould, Bass. C B3 Wawicb The organ strains of some great hymn gently recede into quietude and thus, as every weekday morning, our chapel program begins. These Worship periods are under the direction of Dr. H. A. Fast. Embodied in such a daily worship service is the feeling of reverence and indebtedness a school such as Bethel wishes to express toward a great and merciful God. lt is to this center that our college turns to seek the basis for the abundant life, and endeavors to impart its essence to every student. Completing a week of morning chapel programs is the Wednesday morning service sponsored by the Student Christian Association. Through this program comes the oppor- tunity for student expression through poetry, song and silent worship. Every Sunday morning the Bethel College Church opens its doors to the students. The Rev. Lester Hostetler serves as pastor. The church membership Welcomes students in the fall of the year with a church reception of fellowship and worship together. Associate mem- berships are open to all students who Wishgto take part in the church activities during the school year. Over half of the students belong to the Student Christian Association on the campus. This association endeavors to bring the spirit of Christ into a more meaningful relationship with the student's everyday life. It not only sponsors the Wednesday morning chapel programs but Works jointly with the church for the preparation of Sunday evening services. Some of the annual program outlines are Bible Study during Lentg Holy Week services during the Easter seasong and the School of Missions during Epiphany. This latter course of study is fast becom- ing a high point in our student Christian educational life. This year the growth and develop- ment of missions in India was studied. Furthering the nature of worship and fellowship together the S. C. A. holds all-membership retreats through which students may rededicate their lives to God. The Student Volunteers, a smaller but dynamic' group, also further the Worship program. Their emphasis is particularly on missions and full-time Christian service. Every Tuesday eve- ning they gather for inspirational talks and meditation together. An extensive deputation service which gives programs in surrounding communities is sponsored by this group. Three times a week after-supper prayer meetings are held which prove to be vital opportunities for reac- quaintances with the Master. REV. LESTER HOSTETLER ,H -49 DR. HENRY A. FAST 84 For several years now there has been an expressed desire for a prayer room. Due to a dearth of rooms and lack of funds it has remained no more than a cherished idea. This year, however, this hope has become a reality. The Stu- dent Volunteers working jointly with the Student Christian Association have made it possible to obtain and furnish a room in Memorial Hall for this purpose. Two high points of worship enter into student life in the fall and in the spring of the year. These are Christian Life Vlfeek and Bible Week. October 7 to ll the S.C.A. sponsored Christian Life Week. The Rev. Edmund I. Miller from the Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Chicago conducted the services. He centered his morning chapel talks on the Gospel according to lohn, and the evening meetings on the subject Experiences With the Master. These evening meet- ings are introduced by a short worship service led by a student and the week of worship is culminated with an impressive communion service on Friday night. The second high point is the school sponsored Bible Week held this year from March 17 to 21. Dr. Floyd E. Mallott from Bethany Biblical Seminary and Dr. Frederick K. Stamm, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Chicago were the speakers. The meetings are open to all people in the community. All of these things, however, are but outward manifestations of our efforts to grow towards God. The foregoing events thrust their deeper roots into everyday living: in the way we treat our fellow men and the time we take out for con- versation with our God. ln part, these little things are furthered through devo- tions at breakfast, devotions with hall mates, and in fellowship with fellow stu- dents. The real manifestation, however, comes through the change in each individual life. 85 Paul Albrecht Faire Stucky Amanda Ediger Roland Bariel Katherine Linscheid 86 Bety Regier Dean Stucky WHO WHO'S WHO AMONG STU- DENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSI- TIES AND CGLLEGES is a nation- wide honor organization tor college students. These eleven seniors were chosen by the faculty and student body to represent Bethel College in the l946-47 edition ot this publication. Qualities determining eligibility for selection were character, scholarship, service to the school, leadership in extra curricular activities, and poten- tialities of future usefulness to society. Nominations were made by a faculty committee and were restricted to members ot the senior class. Hildegard Peters Marilyn Preheim Willard Linscheid 87 BSE 9 WESTMINSTER CHOIR I emcvzm! ended . MORDECAI IOHNSON NORMAN THOMAS . . . Photo by Bachrach For the past five years the BETHEL COLLEGE MEMORIAL HALL SERlES has offered wholesome, cultural entertainment to large audiences. . About three thousand friends purchased tickets at a nominal price of one dollar plus tax. As the ticket sale expands, the program offerings correspond- ingly increase. Maurice Eisenberg, cellist of world fame, opened the l946-47 series Novem- ber 12, 1946. Norman Thomas, American statesman, followed November 26, 1946, with his discussion of The Minimum Price of Peace. Perhaps the high- light of the season was the appearance of conductor Dr. lohn Finley Williamson and his Westminster Choir on February lU, l947. The Ianet Bush Opera Quartet composed of Ianet Bush, Irma Cooper, Gordon Hendricks, and Franklin Neil, sang scenes from Faust and Samson and Delilah on March ll, l947. Mor- decai lohnson, Negro educator, appeared March 28, 1947, to present One World and the Conquest of Prejudice. A lecture by Stuart Chase, economist, April 9, l947, closed this educational entertainment series. ln addition to these numbers, several special free assembly features were provided by the income from the Memorial Hall Series ticket sales, The members oi the committee in charge of these programs are: Dr. Melvin Gingerich, Professor Walter H. Hohmann, Mr. Willis Rich, and Dean P. S. Goertz. 88 KWWM mmm f i Curator Charles I. Kauffman Of unusual interest and value to the college is the Kauffman Museum, located south of Memorial Hall. The museum began as the hobby of Charles I. Kauff- man, the curator, in his South Dakota home. ln the summer of l9-40, at the invi- tation of the college, his irreplaceable collection of mounted birds and animals, old vehicles, Sioux Indian relics, statues, and all were moved to North Newton. Here they were added to Bethel's embryo museum, heretofore located in the science building. Students find the museum a valuable asset in their study of Mennonite life, natural history, science, and other subjects. Children from surrounding schools annually tour the place. The museum is ideally situated in that it serves many visitors and alumni who frequent the campus during conferences and school activities. ..,,,. .

Peters Ianitor oi Memorial Hall Mrs. Iohn Loewen Supervisor of Laundry Richmond Schroeder Operational Manager of College Farm: Kenneth Schroeder College lnn Business Ofiico For many years Bethel College has maintained a defi- nitely organized Work program for its students, in keeping with the dignified and respected position Work holds at Bethel. This is evidenced by the fact that of the four hun- dred and sixty students enrolled during the past school term one hundred and eighty have been regularly em- ployed by the college. The majority of the remaining two hundred and eighty are employed either in the city of Newton or at home, for at Bethel everyone Works. Beginning his third year, Herbert Wiebe again resumed responsibility as Dean of Labor last September. Due to the enormous amount of Work already under the super- vision of Mr. Wiebe, he was relieved of this responsibility by the return of Harry Martens, who had, several years previously done a very commendable piece of Work in this position. The larger areas in which students may be employed are: maintenance work, dining hall, college press, clerical and administrative offices, laundry, college inn and book- store, and the library. Bethel believes that work is beneficial, and that honest labor is essential to the development of fruitful and abundi ant personalities. This is evidenced by the fact that Bethel stands among the first ten colleges of its size in the United States with a definitely organized Work program. lt is through this work program that students not only learn to deal with the unavoidable financial matters, but they learn to live and Work with people, an inevitable part of hvlng' College Farm P HIFI! 91 Library Kitchen rint Shop s,....4-v- 5 ' Beat Mad!
