Signs of Life. Bethel has grown and ex-panded the last years at a tremendous rate, which shows forth great evidence of life. Since last September we have been guests at Seminary Hall, but we arc now glad to be in our own home. It is a beautiful structure and convenient in all ways. It is a building of which the Swedish Baptists of America can be proud. We do not now need any more floor space, but next fall we will be in need of a great increase of the student body. We hope the students as well as our subscribers will boost for Bethel in trying to •get new students. Don’t forgot to boost! Commencement seems to be, at the first glance, a ciueer name for the exercises when diplomas or degrees are conferred by a high school, college or Commencement, university. We think of freshmen days as being the beginning, and the senior days as the ending of our school career. But when we take a view of life as a whole and notice what part the scholastic days play in our life's drama, commencement will have a greater and a more signi-ficant meaning than ever before.

14 THE ACORN (Elasfl patm hditli Tonight as 1 sit a-dreaming, And .gazing toward the sky, There comes to my mind a vision, Of days that have gone by. A group of youthful faces. In number—twenty-three,— The year of nineteen sixteen. My own class-mates 1 see. First comes our vigorous leader. And “Acorn” editor too. By courage and faith he conquers, Vic. Larson—our president true. Next comes a new faculty member, Our good critic. G. S. Frykllnd; With him I see Fred Norling, Who thru work is going to win. A dark-eyed maiden now 1 see, Tis studious Carola Morin. And Ida Erickson also comes, Who never idle is seen. Next on the firing line appears, Our English star—Turnblom. A prophet is succeeding him.— Tis Alex Rcxion. But stay, who're those that next I see. So happily smiling and calm? Oh: it must be Lydia Franson. And also Sigr.a Palm. Carl Dahlstrom was our Socrates. He shone in Swedish class. THE PARTI Longed for Future hath been conquered. Present's here victorious ; Bethel Senior, greet him! Yonder lies in realms unknown a Goal which life laborious Brings to God-llge seekers. Strive for that, beloved classmate; Fight Tor this so glorious! Die if need be struggling! 'iranson Vic. Bergralk, always boosting. Once loved a freshman lass. Small parcels hold much learning, Tis so with Leonard Westman; And ever for knowledge yearning. Is Josephine Anderson. Mamie Tanquist—one of the smart set, Never satisfied to quit. A brother has she named Edwin.— He studies that he may assist. Osborn Instance—a veritable Parson, In History is very fine. Preparedness.” calls out Paul Larson, His face doth ever shine. A German maid is Cora Walter. She is renowned for sympathy; With her comes our Esther Nelson, So true-blue and motherly. A modest young man Is Sam Smith, He is seldom known to smile; Though our little sunbeam Lila. Is cheerfully smiling the while. Bob Anderson is last, not least: Ilis voice o’erwhelmes us all. Then ended my memorial vision. Of those known at Bethel Hall. Dear classmates, stick to our motto. And always higher aim! With “Excelsior” ever before us. We surely shall win the game. NG WORD. As the light grows dim towards evening. Hearts may cease to succor. And remove to others. Try not then, my noble friend, to Seek in careworn pucker Refuge frem the breakers. Flee the winds and make the Harbor! There will He our Plucker Keep thee safe. Excelsior.
