North Newton, Kansas Another year; another GRAYMAROON. For the Seniors, this means launching forth into a new and different world — a world in which they will seek to make their hopes, ambitions and dreams come true. We, of the GRAYMAROON STAFF, have tried within these pages to recapture the spirit of your Alma Mater — an institution which embodies Chris- tian idealism, intellectual achievement, social de- velopment, and physical endurance. Our work has been worthwhile and valuable to the extent that this book enriches and refreshes memories of your past year at Bethel and thereby leads to a renew- ing of purpose and ideals as you strive toward a fulfillment of your hopes and dreams. dedication To John F. Moyer, in recognition of his thirty years of devoted service to Bethel College and Christian education, we dedicate this 1951 GRAYMAROON. Mr. Moyer, a grad- uate of Bethel, served as professor of economics and history for seven years. For the last twenty-three years he has been Assistant Treasurer. Mr. Moyer is known for his ability to get along with people; and his friendly spirit and kind personality have won him many friends. Many a former student will remember the lively twinkle in his eye as he offered a word of encour- agement and cheer. His faithfulness and dep ability have made him a worthy man for the position he h eld. President E. G. Kaufman is now on a Sabbatical leave of absence from Bethel College for the school year 1950-51. He is spending this time at the American University at Cairo, Egypt, where he is teaching in the department of philosophy and re- ligion. Dr. Kaufman has been the distinguished President of this Institution for eighteen years during which time his efforts have been successfully aimed at the expansion and improvement of our College spiritually, academically and physically. The great end of education is not only to promote knowl- edge and understanding, but to find spiritual power. The end of education in a Christian school is to make men truly con- scious of God through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It is the purpose of the GRAYMAROON to preserve for us some of the fine experiences of days spent in college. As the years pass, we will increasingly appreciate the opportu- nities offered to us during our college days to build for time and eternity. David C. Wedel Acting President 13 DR.

The Student Christian Associa- tion endeavors to promote a closer relationship between the student and God and to develop the spirit of Christian fellowship on this campus. The membership of the organization is divided into four commissions — Social Service, Christian Faith and Fellowship, Recreation, and Campus Life. Twice a month, the S.C.A. pre- sents the Wednesday morning chapel service. On alternate Wed- nesdays, they meet in their re- spective commission groups. Throughout the year, the mem- bers have enjoyed a number of re- treats. The major project for the year was a relief drive held in early spring. Other projects included welfare work in the Methodist Children ' s Home in Newton, school parties at the Y.M.C.A., and an inter-racial Christmas party for Newton children. .Student JoiunteerS The Student Volunteer Or- ganization has as its special emphasis the promotion of missionary interest among the students. The organization consists of approximately sixty members interested in various types of definite Christian ser- vice. The members meet every Thursday evening for fellow- ship, to hear missionary speak- ers and to discuss problems. The Mission Rally and the two seasonal retreats each year are special highlights for the mem- bers. Prayer meetings are held three evenings a week, and ex- tensive deputation programs are carried on in surrounding churches and hospitals.

The COLLEGIAN has been published with a three-fold purpose — to inform, to express student opinion, and to entertain. The editors-in-chief and the business manager are ap- pointed by the Student Council, to assume their duties during the spring quarter. They in turn appoint their assistants. Planning, editing, re-writing, writing headlines, paste-up, proofreading, financing, late hours — all go into the making of a student publication. Thanks to responsible assistants and willing reporters, the work has been well distributed. ABOVE: Elmer Neufeld and Harold Loh- rentz, editors-in-.chlefs; Elmer Suderman, Faculty advisor.

Tu muroon GRAYMAROON pictures to schedule, copy to type, page layouts to plan and draw, dummy master- sheets to paste, advertising to solicit, and the impend- ing deadline to meet — these were the trials and trib- ulations of the Graymaroon staff last fall as we started a task which was new to most of us. Publishing the GRAYMAROON entails much work, worry and responsibility for the staff. But we have had fun in working together and have received a worthwhile educational experience. It is our hope that the 1951 GRAYMAROON may prove worthwhile and valuable to you. The editor, Dwight Piatt, and the business man- ager, Donald D. Goering, were selected by the Student Council from candidates nominated by the Junior Class. Appointments to remaining positions on the staff were made by these two students.

Special recognition and appreciation is accorded to Bob Regier, our staff artist, and Kenny Hiebert, our staff photographer, for their immeasurable contribu- tion in page layouts, art work, and photography.

Dr. Walter H. Hohmann, founder and director of the organization, again this year has moulded an impressive group. On the campus and in many surrounding Mennonite communities the choir has fulfilled many duties.

W. T. Wilkoff was director of the play. Our Town depicts typical small town life. The story tells of the Cibbs and the Webbs and their many friends as they go through the trying days of youth, marriage, and death. The poignant beauty of the story is enhanced throughout by the pantomime work of the various char- acters. The play attempted to recapture all of the charm of small town life and its people at the turn of the present cen- tury. 66 CAST: Eldon Bargen, LaVerna Buller, Lola Fern Voth, Don Coering, Ben Sawatzky, Lament Woelk, William Schroeder, Edwin Smith, Bernice Franz, Dorothy Androes, Sara Marie Ensz, Eleanor Claassen, Calvin Flickinger, Jesse Krehbiel, Helen Martens, Roland Ensz. Cheaper By the Dozen, a comedy dra- matized by Perry Clark from Frank B. Gil- breth, Jr. and Ernestine Giibreth Carey ' s popular novel, was presented by the Junior Class on February 2 and 3, under the direc- tion of W. T. Wilkoff. The poignant life story of the Giibreth family of Montclair, New Jersey, has been translated into a tender humorous play. The statistically minded father has his trials and tribulations getting his nine older children to understand the need for time and motion study and grade skipping. To top it all off his three oldest daughters shock him by pro- claiming their desire for silk hose and dates. The mid 1920 ' s make a perfect background for this rollicking comedy. 67 On Saturday evening, Jan- uary 13, the Dramatics Society and Alpha Psi Omega presented the Second Annual Night of one act plays, sponsored by the Department of Speech and Dra- ma of Bethel College. Featured on the program were three plays. The first was Bread, a modern sociological drama. Following this was a play en- titled Don ' t Be Technical and the last one was Nobody Home. Each play was directed by a student who chose his own play and cast. ABOVE: Bread cast; Luetta Bartel, Mau- rine Neufeld, Carl Jantzen, Arlene Krehbiel, John Harshbarger, Rosemary Linscheid.

The Queen, her attendants and crown bearer, Winifred Waltner. in an open convertible led the colorful and decorative parade of floats and cars from the campus to the Athletic Park. There the large crowd of alumni, friends, faculty members and students witnessed an impressive ceremony in which the football players were ushered onto the field by Beta Kappa members to the waiting Royal Party where the Queen received her crown and the Co-Captain received the football. The end of the Wheat Bowl Classic football game found Bethel at the short end of a 23 to 0 score piled up by a powerful College of Emporia team. Climaxing the day ' s activities was the homecoming banquet with Harold Duerksen as toastmaster and A. J. Craber of Wichita the guest speaker. 2 BACK ROW: Coach Rudy Enns, Lyie Lehman, Roy Dale Unruh, Da rrel Kaufman, Randolph Schmidt, Cordon Dyck, Jim Heidebrecht, Leiand Krehbiel, Stan Schrag, Don C.

The cheer- leaders were faithful in leading our cheers at all our home games as well as several of those away from home. Working alongside the cheer- leaders was the pep band which was organized this year by members of the student body who had the initia- tive, energy, and enthusiasm for pro- viding appropriate music at our home football and basketball games.

From this outlook, however, we have the material for a winning track team. We include on this page pictures of last year ' s track season in which Bethel ' s team made some fine records even though they came in sixth in the conference track meet. The mile relay team took first at the conference track meet winning the cup while Gerald Schmidt took second in the 440 yard dash. School records were broken in these two events — the relay team running the mile in 3 minutes, 31 seconds; and Gerald Schmidt run- ning the 440 in 51 .2 seconds.

This past year, the Student Union Room was the scene of many enthusiastic and con- centrative games of chess as well as numerous active and exciting games of ping pong. Tennis players found the warm, spring days a won- derful excuse to leave their books for a tough competitive game of tennis. This active sport was good exercise in limbering up the winter ' s dry bones . Other sports participated in by Bethel stu- dents include checkers, horseshoes, badmin- ton, and archery. Many of these sports were the object of tough intramural struggles. 82 Ck At Bethel, an attempt is made tc provide a balanced program of wor- ship, study, entertainment, work and play. Through these various phases of activity. Bethel College develops Christian character, strong bodies and alert minds. The atmos- phere at Bethel is conducive to the development of strong useful Chris- tian citizens of society. How well Bethel succeeds in this area can only be seen by looking into the lives of its graduates. 64 85 worship Bethel College attempts to give worship a central place in its program. Chapel programs set the tone for the day four times a week and ties the Bethel family together; and a unification of spirit is enabled by worshipping together. Prayer meetings and personal devotional periods as well as the more formal types of meetings provide meaningful ex- periences in the lives of Bethel students. 86 The Bethel College Church serves as a church home for faculty mem- bers and friends of the college as well as for many students while they are on the campus. Students also take advantage of the opportu- nity of attending other worship services in the various churches of the community. iversion t Each year Bethel College provides a varied pro- gram of entertainment for the students and the community. The Memorial Hall Series provides cultural entertainment at a reasonable price. This past year, the series consisted of five fine num- bers: The Coro Hispanico, Spanish singers from the Island of Majorka, under the direction of Juan Maria Thomas; The Little Singers of Paris, a boys ' choir under the direction of Father Mail- let; Ferrante and Teicher, duo-pianists; Howard Cleaves, well-known naturalist and photographer; and the Westminster Choir under the direction of John Finley Williamson. Other wholesome diversion on a high level has been provided throughout the year and has included the hilarious Farcity Review, the inspiring Christmas Pageant and the great music of the Messiah Chorus. earn 89 oay 1 Hours spent in play and fellowship with other students are always a memorable and pleasant pic- ture of college days. Essential to college life is the relaxation provided by a game of ping pong, check- ers, tennis or chess. The many enjoyable evenings of recreation such as Bethel night at the Newton Skating Palace, folk games, game night at the Y.M.C.A., and numerous other parties will be long remembered by students who participated. 90 Work is also an essential part of school life as preparation for living. Harold Duerksen, president of the Student Council, gave much time and effort in heading the program of student employment for those who needed or wanted work. Jobs on the campus for the students included work on the build- ing projects, work in the various offices, general maintenance of buildings and grounds, and work in the dining hall. Jobs off the campus included work on neighboring farms and employment in business concerns and private homes in Newton. Inaugurated for the first time this year was a Student Work Day when all students and faculty members obtained employment in the surrounding community. The proceeds from their work went to the Family Project which was fixing up the track. Another unforgettable day in the life of every Bethel student is Fall Clean Up when students and faculty members alike dress in their old clothes and armed with rakes and bushel baskets give the leaf- strewn campus a face lifting.
