To each student Bethel has meant many things. For some of us, this year at Bethel has been the happiest of our lives. For others it has been a stepping-stone to greater things. Here we have explored new realms of knowledge, shared our thoughts and dreams and discovered chal- lenging personalities. We have faced great decisions, and through soul searching, prayer and thought, we have also found answers. Evenings alone and hours studying have brought us wisdom and self-understanding. We have felt des- peration when we were faced with too many studies and too few hours to sleep. We know what it is like to feel as though we face the world alone. Being at Bethel has been a growing experience. Aj 5 Life at Bethel also means many little things- listening to the drowsy hum ot tall outside the library windows, walking to breakfast in the crisp morning, leaving studies to enioy the warmth and exuberance of spring or searching tor the right closing sentence to a paper. Memories bring back the excitement ot a special date, celebrating a birthday with cake and ice cream, or discovering that one has an unexpected With dubious hopes tor a victory, we cheer at a ball game. Our extra time is spent playing cards until the approaching dawn sends us to bed. A different student leaves Bethel's gates than tirst came through them. Perhaps even greater than our academic learning has been our striving toward a Christian ideal, the search to find ourselves, the quest for the answer to lite. Most ot all, we have learned that Hthere is an appointed time tor everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal, a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them, a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces. A time to seek, and a time to lose, a time to keep and a time to cast away. A time to rend and a time to sew, a time to be silent and a time to speak. A time to love, and a time to hate, a time ot war, and a time ot peace. -Ecclesh astes 3:1-8. il Quai w ,VW 9' -4 Q. + ,I+ W, 1, xx X ,. ., 2,fe.,., -.lim FX, .Mx 4 ' ,-x. f:IWE F9332 Ei-.

This year's debate question was: Resolved, that law enforcement agencies in the United States should be given greater freedom in the investigation and prosecution of crime. Emily Regier, Wes Adell and Sam Nance of Newton and James Klassen, Lebanon, competed for Bethel in Eve intercollegiate debate tournaments at Central States College in Edmond, Oklahoma, Wichita State University, Kansas Wesleyan, College of Emporia and the Kansas Intercollegiate Dee bating League Tournament at Wichita State Univer- sity. Their best tournament was at Kansas Wesleyan, where they won eight debates and lost six. Only one of the Bethel freshmen had had high school debate experience. The highlight of a successful year in oratory was Hrst prize won by James Klassen at the KIDL tourna- ment. His oration There Is Another Way entitled him to represent Kansas at the national contest in Detroit in May. Emily Regier won fourth place in the womens division with an oration entitled Is Captial Punishment Democratic? ln the Kansas Peace Ora- torical Contest, James won second place while Emily took third in the womens division.

Sharon won third place at the state contest. 28 The Mennonite Childrens Choir ot Winnipeg, Manitoba, under the direction of Mrs. Helen Litz, presented an excellent concert in the tall. The University of Oklahoma Concert Choir, directed by Dr. Russell Mathis, gave a spring concert of religious and secular contempo- rary music.

Final- ly the carpet was laid, the new pianos arrived, the kiln was put together, and we could begin to use our new facilities. The dedication service on February 6 climaxed days of finishing touches, moving in and opera practice. Meeting in the Krehbiel Auditorium for con- vocation gives us a sense of unity and pride in our school's accomplishment. Despite the con- troversy over the purple trim, the Fine Arts Cen- ter beautines our campus and provides a stimu- lating academic atmosphere. 30 Dr. Walter Kloossen, o former Bethel pro- Sam Ediger, controctor, presents the key of the fessor, spoke on A Christian View of the Fine Arts Center to President Neufeld while John Fine Arts.

When one Thinks ot all The people in The campus community, all The events, scenes, and experiences, one realizes how difficult The task of an editor and his associates really is. Yet year atter year the annual serves its purpose. Somehow it catches and reproduces the moving drama of campus lite. The proof ot its effective work lies not in the moment of publication but in the years that follow, when The volume continues to recall for The readerjviewer the persons, events, and environment of a past moment. i965-66 has been a good year. As time moves on its signiticance will be enhanced, and This yearbook, by helping to stimulate latent memories, will have realized its purpose.

Our professors have gotten their degrees from such schools as the University of Southern California, Columbia, Heidelberg, the University of Chi- cago and Princeton. They have received various grants and fellowships, and some are presently continuing their studies. Many of us have been motivated to further study and higher ideals by the influence of our teachers, and each of us will remember unique personalities and memorable class sessions.

Following the victory over Kansas Wesleyan Bethel won the next three games, to keep in contention for upper division honors in the KCAC. Baker fell Hrst, 62-58, Southwestern was overpowered 75-57, and McPherson succumbed 80-70. Sterling clipped the Threshers 74-73 in one of the biggest upsets of the conference circuit. The Warriors were winless in conference play and were eager to hand Bethel their fourth loss. The Thresher offensive couldn't get started and a slight lead was all that was possible. The last few minutes Sterling rallied to knot the score and the game went into an over- time. Trading baskets, the two teams battled until the closing seconds and Sterling dropped in a long lump shot for the upset. The Ottawa Braves were the next to stop the Threshers this time, 67-55. Ottawa led during the Hrst half and were on top 32-29 at intermission.

Once again the Threshers had five players tallying in double figures. Bethel also grabbed the most rebounds, out- rebounding Baker 59-43. Junior Varsity Completes Successful Season The Thresher's second squad continued their tradi- tion of success by compiling a T2-4 record for the season. The Junior Varsity displayed a consistent offense which enabled them to score better than 80 points on several occasions. Balanced scoring and aggressive rebounding were major factors to the Junior Varsity's success and a fast-break offense took its toll of the opposition. 137 Freshman center Doug Penner tenses for a possible rebound in Junior Varsity action.
