This GRAYMAROON is coming to you as a little expression of appreciation for your loyalty as a char- ter member of the Bethel College Booster Club. Gratefully yours, BETHEL COLLEGE David C. Wedel President G ' iayma umit Jofllt OL JOAN OF LORRAINE, Maxwell Ander- son ' s versions of the Joan of Arc legend, was presented on May 3 and 4 in Memorial Hall. Miss Marguerite Schriver, assisted by Esther Schmidt, directed the play. Anderson ' s JOAN OF LORRAINE is a play within a play in which each cast mem- ber assumes a dual role. In the frame play the actors prepare the stage and rehearse the JOAN OF LORRAINE play.

The production staff was headed by Mr. James Bixel as musical director and Maynard Kaufman as dramatics director. Ellen Ortman and Rozella Schmidt accompa- nied the opera. . COSI FAN TUTTE is a comic opera with a light satire on women and romance. En- raged by Don Alfonso ' s slur upon their sweethearts, Ferrando and Guglielmo accept the old philosopher ' s wager that he can prove their sweetheart ' s fickleness in 24 hours if they follow his plan explicitly. After a touching farewell scene the lovers depart for the wars and leave the brokenhearted ladies in the hands of their maid, Despina, who is collaborating with Don Alfonso. The two men come back as Albanians and make love to Fiordiligi and Dorabella, who do not recognize their lovers. In despair the Albanians pretend to take poison, but are revived by Despina in the guise of a doctor. Their ardent advances are renewed and the ladies finally weaken and agree to marry. In the midst of the mock ceremony the lovers return undisguised and discover the marriage contract.

Dcdicaiiott The profile of Dr. Walter H. Hohmann competes with the treble clef sign as a musical symbol. From the early days when he directed the girls ' glee club, through the first European tour by the Mennonite Sing- ers and the advent of their weekly radio broadcasts in 1952, and to the present day, Walter Hohmann ' s life has been devoted ' to the cause of good music at Bethel College. An ardent foe of mediocrity and a disciple of the great masters, his contributions as director, composer, teacher, editor, and com- munity leader have improved the quality of church music among Mennonites everywhere. The 1957 Graymaroon is dedicated to Doc- tor Hohmann. Tho Scionco Hall, with more classrooms than any othtM- campus building, is the mocca of future doctors, nurses, enfj;meers, natural ana social scientists. Behind its red brick walls and many-paned windows, the probing biologists inhabit the laboratories while aspiring mathe- maticians and historians sit in the lecture rooms Student iournalists meeting a publica- tion deadline and amateur technicians produc- ing a radio program may also be found in the versatile ivy-covered building. Center of student .life is Memorial Hall, larg- est campus structure. Its commodious audito- rium seats nearly 3,000 for Memorial Hall Series programs, church conferences, plays, lectures and other special events. The gymnasi- um practice floor of the 1957 Kansas Confer- ence basketball champions, facilitates intramur- al sports as well. Providing students ' food — at mealtimes and between — is the task of the dining hall and College Inn. A focal point for fellowship and recreation is the spacious Stu- dent Union room. Central storehouse of knowledge is the new Library with its 36,000 volumes. In the ultra- modern, well-lighted reading room, some stu- dents pore over textbooks while others intently write term papers at the individual study desks in the stacks. A rich reservoir of material per- taining to Mennonites, the Bethel College His- torical Library downstairs provides extensive research opportunities. Preserving the essence of Mennonite history, the specialized library features valuable archieves, microfilmed docu- ments, Mennonite periodicals, and unique col- In the Franz Farm Shop, students develop skills useful to Bethel ' s predominantly rural constituency. The smokestack towering over the low structure and the welders ' brilliant light shining through the windows give the building an industrial appearance. At lathes and workbenches, student craftsmen shape wood and metal into useful forms. Young draftsmen labor over drawing tables while future mechan- ics examine engines and aspiring agriculturists learn efficient farming — all gaining knowledge and skill in the useful arts. Bethel College dormitory life means expe- rience in human relations. For here it is that students really become acquainted. Goerlng Hall, of functional design, is the most recent addition to student housing facilities. The mod- ern rooms of the low, spreading structure ac- commodate some 100 men. Presently under con- struction, a new $250,000 residence hall for women will greatly ease the campus housing situation when ready for occupancy in autumn of 1958. Stately and cathedral-like, the newly-built Bethel College Church provides Sunday worship services for the students, giving them a tem- porary church home. It embodies some of the finest aspects of traditional church architecture and makes an impressive apoearance on Col- lege Avenue near the south campus entrance. In addition to the high-arched sanctuary, the extensive educational wing and basement hall provide excellent facilities for Sunday school and moderately-sized gatherings.

Stodcnt G-ove uimcnt Although government of any kind necessarily entails some legislation, true democracy demands a respect for differing opinions and diverse personalities. The Bethel Col- lege Student Council strives to create within the individual student a sense of responsibility for self-government, thus aiming to include the entire student body in a cooperative community of college citizens. The primary aim o f student government on the Bethel campus is to promote democratic living, cooperate with the faculty in the solution of common problems, and foster a dynamic school spirit. The Council is directly responsible for school projects, campus activities and student body elections. For its immediate members, the Council provides invalu- able experience in learning to cope with practical democratic problems, thus serving to equip them more adequately as potential leaders for the citizens of democracy.

In only its second year of operation, the student court again handled student disciplinary cases. The court studied all cases of student discipline which were referred to it by students or faculty members. Cases were judged in accord- ance with the Student Body Constitution and the rules and regulations of Bethel College. In many cases verdicts were rendered on the basis of the standard set during the preced- ing year. The court attempted to initiate redemptive as well as punitive procedures when handling cases.

Misty-like it rose before them. Phantom-like it played about them. Whispered words of worldly wisdom. Stimulating selfish service. Will they then out-wit their wit And rape what is its benefit? Or will they in meek submission Bow before the Master-Mind?

During the Fall Quarter they presented several numbers at the Founder ' s Day Program held October 12. During the Winter Quarter the orchestra presented a concert and prepared to a ccom- pany Mozart ' s Requiem and the opera, Cost Fan Tutte. The students will long remember the stirring music which was performed by the band this year. Under the direction of Miss Darlene Dugan, the band added spirit to all the pep rallies, and home football and basketball games. Tentative plans were set for a concert to be held sometime in spring.

Miss Mar- guerite Schriver directed the play. The plot centers around the mildly insane activities of the Vanderhof family and the problems they create when the most normal of their members, Alice, brings her fiance, Tony Kirby and his parents home for dinner. Since the Kirbys are quite sophisticated, they are greatly alarmed when they discover the type of family their son is about to marry into. Penelope, the mother, paints and writes plays. Paul, the father, and Mr. De Pinna, a former milkman now living with the family, manufacture fireworks. Essie, their daugh- ter, practices ballet almost continuously for Mr. Kolenkhov, her instructor. Essie ' s hus- band. Ed, runs a printing press in the living room. Two painfully slow servants add to the distraction, while Grandpa, Mr. Martin Van- derhof, collects snakes and attends com- mencements.

Directed by Ken Kaufman, this play has an English setting and centers around the Jordan and Slater families, who are very greedily dividing up the possessions of Mrs. Jordan and Mrs. Sla- ter ' s dead father, Abel Merryweather. The action of the play abruptly shifts when Mr. Merryweather suddenly comes into the room very much alive and announces that he will not live with either of his greedy daughters any more but will marry a widow friend of his who keeps a tavern.

Student CkluAimxi The SCF is the all-inclusive name of the three Christian organiza- tions on the campus. The SCF Cab- inet functions as coordinator for the activities of the commissions. Major projects undertaken by the entire SCF include the sponsoring of the annual Christian Life Week in the fall, (Rev. Leland Harder spoke this year), the sponsoring of the exchange student program with Wuppertal, Germany, and the sponsoring of the voluntary servi3a promotional week. The Campus Faith, Fellowship, and Rec- reation commission sponsors such activities as the daily breakfast devotions, prayer m.eetings twice a week, planned recreational activities on the campus, and deputational recreational work in outlying areas. The Peace and World Order commission has done extensive work with films, espe- cially the one, Which Way to Peace, which they have made available to the local church- es. They have recently cooperated in sending peace books to Japan. They also cooperate actively with the inter-Mennonite Collegiate Peace Conferences. This year Bethel sent six representatives to Washington, D. C, for the Conference. The Christian Service and Outreach com- mission of the SCF is carrying on such proj- ects as the Hoover Orchard mission work in Wichita, joint planning of the Christian Discipleship Conference with the Western District YPU, weekly singing groups at Bethel Hospital, recreational work and devo- tional programs at Prairie View Hospital, vi sitation and worship services in old people ' s homes, and deputation work in churches.

We will finish this song in a burst of conceit! Be they Bees Gees or Buffalo, Threshers (►f Wheat. Our great team won a trophy: our joy is complelel In spite of a quite heavy loss from the ' 55 foot- ball squad, the ' 56 Bethel gridsters turned in an equally successful season; placing fourth in con- ference play and posting a four won, five lost season record. Reporting for practice were 42 boys, including 15 returning lettermen. The Graymaroons looked good in the opener with Northwestern Oklahoma but nevertheless came out on the short end of a 31-25 score. Things just didn ' t click in the first conference tilt which went to McPherson 20-0, but the Maroons staged a terrific comeback and took their next four op- ponents in stride. First, a trip to Ottawa resulted in the second consecutive win, 13-12, over the Braves. The next target was Bethany ' s homecoming which the Gray- maroons spoiled to the tune of a 25-7 victory. The Graymaroon aerial attack was too much for Friends and the Quakers went down 13-6. Next the Maroons added favorably to the homecoming festivities by defeating Baker 28-25 in a see-saw action-filled game. Against the two power teams of the conference the Graymaroons made a very good showing but bowed to defeat both times. The Maroons kept up with the defending champion College of Emporia until the closing minutes when the Presbies went ahead to win 32-20 in a game which was much closer than the final score indicates. In the final conference game. Bethel gave the undefeated Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes all the competition they could handle but went down 26-14. All Conference selections included three Gray- maroons on the second team: Arley Loeffler, sen- ior end; Harlan Cot Graber, senior quarterback; and Arlo Buller, junior guard. Eight Maroons re- ceived all conference honorable mention.

In the ' 56- ' 57 cage season, a much-improved Kansas Conference faced the defending champion Bethel Graymaroons. Despite the loss of two starters from last year ' s squad and a pre-season injury, the determined, well-balanced team re- tained the league crown. With eight lettermen and some outstanding additions, the Graymaroons posted an impressive 17-9 season record. Starting out strong, the Bethel basketballers won their first four games. Victories over Tabor and McPherson in the Central Kansas Collegiate Basketball Tournament gave Bethel its third con- secutive win in this event and permanent posses- sion of the trophy. A trip to Nebraska resulted in a defeat at the hands of Hastings, 69-61. The Maroons edged a highly-rated Goshen College (Indiana) quintet, 88-85. In a Christmas-vacation slump, the Gray- maroons had to settle for sixth place in the Kan- sas Conference Tourney. Winning 10 of 14 conference contests, the Bethel five gained double victories over Friends, College of Emporia, and Bethany; and splits with Ottawa, McPherson, Baker, and Kansas Wesleyan. Evenly-matched teams and numerous upsets characterized the conference season. First place changed hands several times, but the Maroons won under pressure as they clinched the title with a 77-79 win over Bethany in the final league tilt. Two defeats in the NAIA playoffs at the hands of the tall, sharp-shooting Emporia State cagers climaxed the season. Posting a 17-4 record, the ' B ' team also had a successful year. The second squad won the first annual Letterclub-sponsored Junior Varsity Tour- nament in Memorial Hall. Earning post-season honors were Arley Loeffler, All-Conference first five; Larry Dick, second team; and Harlan Cot Graber and Dwayne Reusser, honorable mention.

The winter nights are long, and long the tedious hours That merge into an incandescent bulb That shakes the words upon the shimmering page. While outside through the wintry winds A silent student walks in secrecy alone Beneath the trees below the sullen sky. These trees are mute, but could they tell a tale, What would they say of students passing by? Year after year the classes come and go, And d ay by day they go from room to room; Watch earnest professional faces speak Of techniques, nature, man or God. Was it this flood of fluent information Set all living things a-stir? Or what? For now the trees, no longer mute, Are green with bursting buds. And greener grass begins to grow. And now the youthful bloods will woo With winning ways and wicked eyes The shapely sweet so coy and cute. The barren days and hopeless nights are past. Now days fall down like dominoes And who can stay their quick relentless flight.
