Bethel ' s Fall Festival: Horizons Of Hope Fall Festival 1975 (Oct. 10-12) cele- brated Be the I ' s past, present, and future through the theme Horizons of Hope. The gala event, coupled with near-perfect weather, attracted 7,500 people to the campus. Mennoni te reactions in WW! formed a basis for two important aspects of Fal I Festival: a musical drama, The Blowing and the Bend- ing, and an historical conference, Consci- entious Objection in WWI: The Mennonite Ex- perience. Speakers at the conference included Frederick Luebke, James Duram, Elmer Sud- erman, and the Bethel history professors Keith Sprunger and James Juhnke. The swarms of people thronging the campus Saturday afternoon enjoyed the concerts, quiz- zes, films, and displays (including anything from a trampoline to antacid tests) sponsored by various academic departments and organiza- tions. Memory- stirring demonstrations of p re s s i n g cider, chair caning, tatting, whit- 1 1 i n g, baking in an outdoor oven, and making soap also drew attention. Running in juxtaposition with the learning activities were many athletic events. Compe- tition in volleyball matches, bicycle races, children ' s races, and the traditional hoop races kept the community spirit alive. In two home- coming games, the soccer team battled for a 1-1 tie with the Wichita Wheathawks and the football team scored a smashing 51-12 vic- tory over Friends University. Food was another important element of the festivities. In addition to the sale of ethnic foods and the luncheon of Germa n-Swiss foods, a pit beef barbeque accommodated over a thousand people for Saturday ' s supper. A celebrative service Sunday morning in the B.C. Church combined the hope of persons in the Bible with our hope today. F 0 r a 1 1 times In all things For everyone — HOPE. As D. C. Wedel watches.

Cabbage borscht, sausage, zwieback, nalles-nicki, rye bread, and pie are consumed by the hungry multitudes at Saturday ' s luncheon of German-Swiss foods.
