Cofkg Worm Wewfon, Jgandad 0l'll!6lI' Each year offers many opportunities for new friendshi ps , fresher insights, and other enlightening experiences. Class work, plays, family projects, banquets and chapels are only a few of the happenings which the year's vicissitude of e-vents unfolds. Although we often see themas steps leading only toward graduation they continue as influences which mould whole- some and responsible Christian lives. The Graymaroon Staff presents this book in the hope that step by step the year may arise before you asyou go from page to page, enhancing the memory of friends and events. 4 226060 fion ln recognition of twenty difficult years of devoted service to the students and friends of Bethel College, we dedicate this yearbook to Dr. Edmund G. Kaufman. Under his energetic and capable leadership, our school has made far-reaching progress, academically, materially, and spiritually. 5 l Con fen i5 .xgclminirifra fion 6615666 Organizafiomi 3110 Jdrfzi .x4fALfic:i memoried I I'l'lU'l edaage rom ur fqfeaiclenf THE GRAYMAROON portrays college life at Bethel during the school year 1952-1953.

Meeting at least once a week, the Student Council was again instrumental in initiating proiects and ideas. For example, through their decisions, the student body was given two days off from school work in order to fi- nance the proiect which it chose--the student lounge. And it is the Council's iob not only to sponsor the var- ious events but also to plan for them in detail. ecrea fion ounci The Student Council appointed two members of each class to the Recreation Council. The members meet twice a week, planning recreation for open weekends. The group strives toward a varied and interesting program throughout the year. f 5 ' STANDING: Phyllis Eppg Arlene Krehbiel--Secretary Treasurerg Stanley Eitzeng Bonnie Zerger--Presidentg Marion Iungas.

The elected officers of the dormitories are collectively known as the Men's or Women's Councilp as the case may be. Such problems as adiustment to college life Csome people cannot adiust to the noise from the room abovel, dorm behavior, etc., often come up for dis- cussion by these groups.And, since their advisors are the Dean of Men and Dean of Women, both groups are co-ordinating links between the faculty and student body. Through them the campus students have a voice in affairs. 7 amen A ounci STANDING: Janice Janzeng Vivian Hoferg Elsie Wiebeg Evelyn Vothg Shirley Funkg Lorene Eppg Lucille Kaufman.

Some of these are Wednesday chapel programs, retreats, inter-racial Christmas party for children of Newton. A maior proiect is the bringing of a German exchange student to Bethel.

The group's distinctmissionary emphasisfound expression in work with the Salvation Army, its deputation program, the Thursday night Fel lowship programs, the annual Mission Rally and the retreats. With the S.C.A. this group co-sponsors prayer meetings three times a week. .gnfernafiona mfafionfi CLA The primary purpose of the l.R.C. is to learn about and to discuss ideas and issues which are related to the in- ternational situation today. Programs are based on critical issues such as tension between Arabs and Jews, so- lutions to world conflict, and the ex- tent of freedom of speech. Outside speakers, movies, and personnel of the Bethel family conduct the meetings. Occasional informal socials offer club members a chance to get better ac- quainted. The membership itself has an international flavor with represen- tatives from Latin America, Europe, and North America. .Siwlenf QGCB POMIL?

As a result, people repre- senting insurance, retailing, and law firms were invited to engender the interests of the group at its meetings.

Besides the regu- lar meetings twice a month, they sponsored a night of one-act plays, an all-school play, the Christmas Pageant and various other proiects throughout the year.

CAeminar The Cheminar, which is primarily interested in developments in the world of test tubes, flasks, retorts and Bunsen burners, is affiliated with the American Chemical Society as a student chapter. The group met bi-monthly to hear lectures, see demonstrations, and discuss developments in chemistry--both histor- ical and current. Occasionally visits to industrial c he mi c al companies were made, and its members attended meet- ings oftheWichita section of theA.C.S. gofogy eminar Naturally enough, Seminar members planned the year's program with a view into the future. They made a survey con- cerning educational attainments of college natural science teachers and instigated other projects. ln the mostpractical demonstration of its interest, however, the Seminar sponsored the Bloodmobile as it made its rounds at Bethel. al'l'leI'Cl What's all the hokus pokus that takes place between the snapping camera shutter and the finished photo? The answer to this was made plain to neophyte darkroom addicts of the Camera Club. A sample case: Do you thinlc this'll take a No. lO filter? Sure. Give itabout 35seconds at f8. Say, this isn't developer--it's hypo. Well, that print probably wouldn't have been any good anyhow. et cetera. Experienced members shared exper- iences and gave pointersg novices became familiar with photographic processes, all experienced the peculiar thrill of guiding the latent photographic image as it formed on film and paper.

Einstein's theory of relativity was the subiect ot one lecture, other programs consisted of experimental demonstrations on the stroboscope, the tensiometer, gravitational acceleration and osmosis. Field trips were also a part of its activities. Weil CLA One club with a somewhat unique method of arranging its programs was the Math Club. At each bi-monthly meeting one of its members presented a talk con- cerning prominent mathematicians, gave reports on special studies, or contributed anything else of mathematical interest. This club is a new one on our campus, for it was organized at the beginning of this year with the ratification of its con stitution.

It provided usherettes for the Memorial Hall seriesg it was responsible for refreshment stands at the football gamesg and it served as a kind of pep club also. ln short, the keynote of its being was service.

This year the personal appearances of the choir have been limited, due to the heavy recording schedule. Each week the choir has made a recording which was broadcast over KFH, aWichita station. Beginning the third quarter, the former T5-minute broadcast on Saturday afternoon was extended to 30 minutes, and changed to Sunday afternoon. Dr. Erland Waltner has assisted in the recordings by giving the Spoken Word. 64 SOPRANOS Carol Enns Lena Mae Franz Jo Ann Goering Vivian Hofer Florine Hohmann Donna Kaufman Lucille Kaufman Frances Schultz Betty Schwartz Delia Unrau Florine Voran ALTOS Carol Andreas Norma Bachman Barbara Brandt Marian Claassen Phyllis Epp Catherine Graber Vernelle Miller Lenore Pankratz Elaine Shel lenberger Esther Siemens Norma Voran Marjorie Waltner Ramona Waltner as TENORS Floyd Bartel Stanley Eitzen La Moine Epp Glen Goering Orlando Goertzen Max Miller Archie Schmidt Eugene Stucky Alec Thomson George Unger Wendell Wiens Ronald Zielke BASSES Milton Claassen Loren Deckert Monroe Duerksen Gordon Dyck Paul Fast Delton Franz Donald Franz Homer Goering Carl Jantzen Kenneth Kaufman Bruce Loganbill Merle Eppg Aaron Klasseng Monroe Duerksen: Marlin Frey. The history ofthe Sextet is a little unusual because it began as an independent group-- iust For fun, you might say. Then, the col- lege adopted it and fit itinto the schedule of school functions. Asa result the Sextet visited some high schools in this vicinity. Their schedulealso called for avisit to the Voluntary Service Unit in Topeka where they sang for V. S'ers. The Sextet, and Elvera Voth, director, made these trips in the col- lege car. Miss Voth was appointed as steering committee of one to take over all driving duties. Of their repertoire the Ceremony of Carols by Beniamin Britten was perhaps easiest to recall. Songs of Bela Bartok, Cop- land, Schubert, and Debussy also became sta les of their musical diet.

But, the many hours spent in rehearsal with Dr. Suderman aided in uniting the men so that even senior and freshmen were as one fmusically, at leastll.

Collegg-Ez. definition of museum is the Kauffman Museum in Alumni Hall: A building in which are preserved and exhibited objects of permanent interest in one or more of the arts or sciences. Might we not say that this is the Museum of the Art of Mennonite life? For certainly the museum protects all of the more or less significant material records of progress with emphasis on the Mennonite background. The Museum is largely the work of one person, Mr. Charles E. Kauffman. lt was his idea, and is now the fruit of his labor. ,644 llbqwfmmf .Mdforicaf oggrarg Almost hidden away in the basement of the Science building has been this library of docu- ments and writings involving histories of Men- nonite groups and persons.

A handful of pebbles gathered by a comrade can mean so much. The use of a familiar phrase brings back the past. When Jesus sought to comfort His disciples concerning his own departure from them He used tender memories. He spoke of His Father's House. What recollections must have come to the disciples at Mary 's cottage at Bethany used during Holy Week and at other humble homes along the shores of Galilee and other places. Jesus told Hisdisciples that he would continue to be near them. He assured them that their relationship was not broken but would continue after He had gone from their sight. The Scriptures assure us that , for the Christian , life does not end with a broken finish. God's love is the final shelter of the soul. This makes it possible to live memory bringing back old joys along the way of pain. As we have borne the image of the earthy , we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on im- mortality. lCor. l5:49,53 88 KACCIOJ flfunm ip CALWCIL The Reverend Harold Buller 52,.,1, ull' J! 39 eifiure gf 'fb' I - Skeplng 4, VL Qiwy .
