In her home town, Douglas, Minn., she grew up. as fair as the flowers she loves so well—the flower that opens its blue eye to the blue sky when it kisses goodbye to the winter—the violet.

30 THE ACORN EDITOR. ROSE NORDSTROM. During the past year Hie Alumni Association of Bethel Academy has been testing its strength in its endeavor to raise $500 for aiding in the equipment of the laboratories of the new Bethel Academy building. The Association has done well in raising over half of this amount besides given annually a scholarship to some worthy student at Bethel Academy, when we consider that it is still in its inranev, that the greater part of the alumni are attending some higher institution of learning or just beginning their practical work. The alumni expects nevertheless to have the whole amount raised by the time of the completion of the new academy building. Slowly the Bethel alumni are becoming represented in the various trades and professions. This year four graduate from the Creighton Medical College of Omaha, Neb.; two are practising dentists; eight have entered the ministry; about sixteen are attending some university or college; and the remainder are engaged in some successful work, ranging from the farming to the domestic science, and from general contracting to the teaching. These records excel those of most secondary schools and speak well for Bethel. Below are given alphabetically the names, year of graduation, occupation and addresses of the Bethel Alumni.

32 THE ACORN had been enough to set her thinking, that no matter if she had spent three years in high school, she really did not know all. Consequently she has been a faithful student at Bethel Academy. Whatever her future will be she will always be a happy and successful woman, because she lives up to her motto: “.Meet the world with a smile. ’ Fredericka Witzell—Far out in distant China a young couple were made happy, in 1894, by the birth of a fair child. The loneliness of the young missionaries did not seem so hard to bear. Tho born in China, it did not make a Chinese of her. She came to America in early years, and attended public schools in Omaha, Neb., her home town. Later she went to business college. After the course was completed she worked in a drug store as clerk. But the call of an education was so intense that she decided in 1911 to ccme to Bethel Academy. Her favorite flower is the Tulip, and her motto is: “As we journey thru life let us live by the way ’ scents to be her very life. Her future ambition is to go to college and devote her life to the betterment of humanity. Earl Carlson—The second Edison was born in Minneapolis, Minn., March 23, 1897, where he entered public and high school. Later he entered Bethel Academy, in the meantime he has been busy not alone with his lessons, but with inventions that would scon have been in use turnout the civilized world if the war which is now raging had not prevented it. He is now busy with an invention which will undoubtedly place him in rank with the foremost of our modern geniuses. Ills motto has well been put into use, ”l)o your best.’’ How well he has selected his flower, the pansy, which stands for that. Frank Renstrom—Altho our school may be small, students from the different countries are represented. Frank Ken-strom was born in Strand. Sweden. There he attended public school and Bible school. In 1909 he raid farewell to his mother country and crossed the Atlantic and came to America, ills ambition was to become a minister. He enrolled at Bethei Academy as a student, in 1911. and he lias been a diligent student thruout his course. His summer vacations have been spent as pastor in various churches. Often on Sundays he wears his favorite flower. Red Carnation. His motto is part of his' life, “Never give up.” Sam Young—The zealous “Acorn Editor, opened his fine eyes October 1, in the early nineties in Apple, Minn. At the age of twelve he moved to Oslo, Minn., on the beautiful banks of the Red river of the North. Here he grew up to be a sturdy and ambitious youth. After finishing the public schools he dreamt of an education. His dreams were realized in 1910: lie enrolled as a student at North Star College ar Warren, Minn., from which he graduated in 1913. One year he worked as a hardware clerk, and then again came the call for school. He folded his tent and silently stole away. He came to Bethel in 1913. At the same time has worked as assistant at I. B. Grant Sons Hardware store at St. Paul, Minn. He has won the admiration of hts classmates for his activity, a a student and as the editor of the school taper. Ilis motto is well chosen, “Duty before pleasure.” Ilis love for the slate of Minnesota is expressed in his fondness for the state flower, the Moccasin, lie delights in Tennyson more than any other author. Ilis future seems bright and successful. Esther Larson--In the modern stale of Wisconsin in the city of Ashland, Esther I.arson was born, a child with a burning desire to sing the praises of her Redeemer. As she grow up her dreams were realized, she traveled with her missionary father thruout the state and sang. Her life was full of service and joy until her father was summoned to meet his Pilot. Even the darkest cloud has a silver lining, so with Esther’s dark clouds. She spent three years at Ashland H. S., but did not
