THE ACORN REV. ADOLF OLSON Pres, of B. A. Alumni Association. 27 Though yet comparatively young. Bethel Academy has a strong and promising alumni force. A number of these alumni are completing their education at institutions of higher learning; others arc doing successful work in the ministry, teaching, business, or other callings of life. Almost without exception the Bethel Academy alumni show a warm interest for their Alma Mater, a thing not to be wondered at when wo consider the fact that Bethel has given an asset and an impulse -to their life that no other school in the world could have given. The Alumni Association of Bethel Academy, organized two years ago, is as yet not a money making body, but neverthless it has decided to award a scholarship, granting free tuition, to the most deserving student in Bethel next year.

26 THE ACORN Efter att tankfullt ha betraktat orden sade Johan: “Just sfi ar det. O, om jag blott hade tankt mera pfi delta da min mo-der levde. Nil kan jag intet gora att Devisa hur kar och dyrbar hon har varit for mig.” “Icke sfi, Johan, vi kunna annu pa nagot satt visa vfir respekt och karlek for vfir moder. En kort tid fore jag lamnade Amerika firades en hogtid, ‘Modrarnes dag’. PS denna dag buro var och en en vit ‘carnation’ sfisom ett hedersbevis. Det var en god id 5.” Ja, men jag vet ett annu battre salt att gora detta”, sade Elsa med kansla. Lfitom oss varje dag hava var moders hoga och fid!a mill for oss i minuet. Pa Stan vi ej hava v r moders trostande ord, mfi vi handla som hon vore standigt vid var sida.” Det var allvarliga kanslor som grepo de tre unga syskonen.. Nu kom deras moder annu livligare for dem. De p mindes huru de i unga fir bojde knfi tillsammans med henne; huru hon hade last ur familje-bibeln for dem. Deras ogon fylldes av Eden Valley, Minn., May 17. A year has passed since I graduated from Bethel Academy. The year has been full of revelations, especially in the observance of mankind and their faults, foibles, frivolities and faiths. As was emphasized in Bethel that the building or character was the uppermost duty of an individual in whatever walk of life, I find that the words are strikingly true. In spite of the fact that the present generation is money mad and apt to measure t rar, deras hjartan overflddade. Dessa voro oforgatliga stunder. Under rain vistelse i Amerika sfi, knnde jag fly de starkaste frestelser nar jag tankte pfi min moder — var det ej Tope-lius som talar om vfir moder , sade Karl. “Jo, i hans stycke ‘Min moder ; sa star det: Och dock hon foljer med sina tankar det vilsna barn, som i varlden vankar, och hennes bon, som er. angels iackla g r klart framfor oss, nar stegen vackla, och lyser vagen med Kristi tro och banar stigen och bygger ho. “Fast vfir moder fir ddd sfi har jag er-farit detta. Tank om vi blott kunde uppnfi vfir moders ideal!” Det var en betydelsefull stund. Innan-de lamnade det gamla hemmet, sa bojde de knfi. och anbefallde deras vfig fit Cud, bedjande om hans hjalp och ledning. Med beslutsamma och latta hjartan lamnade de tre syskonen sitt barn-dorashem. Rudolph Crook—'13. a man by the amount of figures to which he can sign, his name on a check, character takes precedence when it comes to tne valuation of a man's worth to his community and fellowmen. I am to pass the summer at home in Viking, Alberta, Canada, and will leave May 20th. With well wishes for every student ana instructor, I am truly yours for the success of Bethel, Henry G. Thunell, '12.

In certain respects we can say that the year 1912—13 has been our most successful season in athletics. It is true, we had no football team last fall, but then we entered upon our first year of basket ball. In baseball we have had better success than in preceding years. Up to date we have won- two games out of rive played, and we have two more to play. Manager Peterson early issued the can for volunteers and the results were gratifying. After a few practises in which barrels of enthusiasm and “Pep , were displayed, we took on the St. Anthony Park team for a practice game. Ilodnc was on the mound for Bethel, and Peterson worked behind the bat. while Lee and Marcus, did the heavy work for St. Anthony Park. The score was 7—3 In favor of Bethel. Our second game was with the Lyndale Cubs, of Minneapolis, on our grounds, April 19. The Cubs went home that evening, beaten to the tune of 7—6. Batteries: Bethel: Hodne, Peterson, L. C. Bissonett and Lowring. The Minnesota Aggies, a college team, were taken on for the third game, April 30, which we lost on their grounds 10—1. The battery was the same as in the Lyndale game. Hum bolt High School, St. Paul, were next in order. We played them on their grounds May 13. and last, 12—1. May 16th we journeyed out to St. Louis Park, and played the High School out there. The game was played with a wet ball on a muddy diamond, and we came' home with another bad defeat in our necklaces. 14—3 was the score. Our regular line up was as follows: 1 b. M. Lind: 2 b. O. Dahlstrom. Capt.: s. s. A. Skansc; 3 b. Art. Belstrom: c. O. Petersen. Mgr.: p. C. Hodne: 1. f. D. Strandberg; c. f.- H. Young, V.. Larson; r. f. C. Erickson, R. Crook.
