Be not forgetful The purpose of Youth Convention is to have college and high school students sharing in worship and in their spiritual growth. For the high school students it is somewhat of an introduction to college life. The Way, a Jesus rock group from California, is composed of five Spirit-led men. They came to share their message of Jesus in music and in song. Jesus rock musician Randy Nlatthews sings about the change in his life which came through Jesus Christ's transform- ing powers. He has a real ministry and love for the young people of today. Frank Zink, the speaker, demonstrat- ed his awareness of youth and their con- flicts by sharing with us why we need Jesus Now . . . more than ever. The activities for Youth Convention include a Wild, Wild West Party, The Uncondemned presented by Bethel's drama troupe, the Genesians, and Clown- ing Around, a time of fun and games. Other entertainment is provided by Bethel Christian Service Teams lprevious- ly known as gospel teamsl, the Concert Choir and the Brass Choir. The Youth Convention Committee Chairman is Joe Veal. His hard working committee consists of: Secretary-Sherry Turner, Treasurer-Liz Hossler, Concerts-Fred Walker, Scott Miles, Activities-Liz Hossler, Barb Hicks, Welcome-Mary Kroon, Dining Hostess-Rose Ellen Boise, Ushering-Liz Dielman, Seminars-Ken Kitchen, Art-Dave Pannabecker, Backdrop-Bruce Nlast, Publicity-Julie Ruesch, Jack Wil- Iiams, Maintenance-Joel Foster, Devotions-Ed Lugbill, Advisor-Don Granitz. 22 to entertain strangers . . . 77 Above: Bruce Mast, Committee Chairman Joe Veal and Denny Wertz string the Jesus Now drop for convention weekend.

Thou shalt perform . . . 7' Nagy The 1973-74 Music Lecture series gave Bethelites and community people an op- portunity each month to enjoy profes- sionals in performance, to travel to far- off places by way of films and other staged delights. During the nine month school period, Bethel hosted such artists as Arthur God- frey who lectured on ecology, Jack Thomas who performed Mark Twain on stage and Virgil Fox, the master organ virtuoso. Visits to Greece and the Aegean Sea, Our National Parks and the Amazon, Ecuador and Peru were made possible through three of the travelogues present- ed this year. They provided colorful ex- periences and cultural learning for those who attended. The Marine Band had a lively program of marches and American tunes for all to enjoy. The Concordia College Choir had a beautiful sound on the selections they presented. Both of these groups were a delight to hear. 24 H' 'ff' 'W W :WS pm. . f :.:,::.-.--.tg I A as Q Qgfxiw lif- 3 s W .5 , u :gf - fV-.-- , ' lla Q ,,,. .W .sf Left: The culture and color of Greece is shown in Greece and the Argean Sea, one of this year's travelogues.
