Wedel, First Bethel College Pnnlm .....,,,,-mm' l it -'Jani-H62 a message from the president The 1962-63 school year has been eventful and meaningful. There have been signihcant developments, new friendships, exciting events, important decisions, and, of course, some disappointments. But all in all it has been a good year. The Thresher once more has attempted to represent and preserve as much as possible the moving drama of the year. This it has done well. Our gratitude is expressed to the editor and his associates for a diflicult task well performed. The seventy-fifth anniversary year of Bethel College is now history. We are reminded of the service of Bethel through the years. Now it is for the students of this generation to direct and develop the College in the future as their parents and grandparents did before them. This is my hope for those who were students of Bethel during this anniversary year of 1962-63. Dr. Albert J.
