CLASS SONG D18 Words and Music by Ester dander The time is quickly drawing nigh When school-days dear are gone, When times of joy and sorrows, Arc but. an echoing song. Shall we forget the hours, That we have spent as one, And ouly look for prospects Till setting of the sun. Chorus “Carpe Diem” is our cry. Let it ring from earth to sky, Let it soar to realms unknown, With a message all its own! 0, let us not forget our aims, But always hold them dear, Keep alw ays on I lie sunny side When troublous times draw near For we are twenty-seven all, Who each one strives along, The paths of toil and trial With an ever cheery song Our Alma Mater good, we love, It stands for what Is right. It led us on the paths of truth And kept us in the light. We leave it now with saddened hearts To meet a world of care; Whatc’er may be our lot in time, Let B. A. be our share. CLASS HISTORY OF 1918 By Both E. Carlson Gustav A. Gustavson. The little province of Westerstad, Sk nc, Sweden, has become famous as the birthplace of our president, who first made his appearance in the world at that place Oct. 15, 1892. But finding Skft-ne too small a place for the development of his ambition, he came to the great America 1903 and settled down at Long Prairie, Minnesota, where he attended public school. Feeling the need or a higher and nobler education, he entered Bethel Academy in the fall of 1914. “He is little, but oh my” beware of opposing him in argument or being judged by him; it being his nature to excel in that work as is shown by his motto Be Yourself. His favorite study is “History and his favorite flower the red tulip. Fred Moberg. Like a beautiful dream he came into the world on the morning of De- cember 20, 1S89, in the city of Stockholm, Sweden. From there he journeyed with his parents, from one short-lived nestling place to another until the age of seventeen years, when he found himself in Leksand, having a deepseated conviction that Sweden had exhibited all its most beautiful scenery to him. So he jorneyed a erookei route thru parts of Germany, Denmark ond Norway over the Atlantic and across America, arriving at Kingsburg, California, on a fine May morning. After some years of varying experiences he decided to come to Bethel In 1915 and arrived in due time to be greeted by a fina blizzard, a long-lost friend of his.

THE BETHEL HERALD 27 and 1 A. M. His favorite flower is the “Blue Violet” and the key to his success is found in his motto “Try Again.” Hazel Viola Paulson. On the 29tli of January 1898 there was a great rush and scurrying of feet at Rush Point, Minn., for it was on that day that Hazel bestowed her first smile upon the sad world. Here she attended a school which was located two and one-half miles from Rush City and enjoyed this walk immensely. She has also said that Rush Point is a place which she will always live thru the rest of her life, there being no sweeter place; for which we would like to know the reason why? She has chosen the Golden Rule as her motto, “Do unto others as they do unto you;” her favorite study is “Physiology,” but she has no favorite flower as she likes them all. Wendclla Joranson.

Being an ambitious young girl she entered Hamilton public school, attending until the spring of 1912. After staying at various places she again resumed her studies in 1913, but this time at Bethel. However, she would again try high school, but with the result that she spent only one semester there, for Bethel proved to have too strong an attraction for her, so she returned in 1917. Her favorite study is Science”, and her favorite flower is the “White Water Lily,” while she has chosen as her motto “Pray and Go.” Juan C. Orendain. In the far distant isles of the Pacific where the flowers bloom so brightly and the birds sing so gaily, was born May 6, 1894 one of the world's great artsmen. Altho deprived of his parents while at the age of ten he finished his training at an American school and at the age of sixteen years began teaching in a Philippine public school and received a government scholarship in 1914. Always pushing forward, he become principal of a primary school the next year, but feeling the need of a larger and more tlioro education he entered the Iloilo High School, finishing three years. He now felt a desire to sec the great America which had given them their freedom, and therefore crossed the ocean and arrived at Bethel in the fall of 1917. That he has lived up to his motto, “Push Forward.,’ is readily seen from his success, and he is as pure as his favorite flower, “the Lily.” Olive Johnson. Olive began her life February 17. 1S98 at Clifton, Kansas with a song, and has continued to sing ever since. There among the simple country-folk, she was ever making their work lighter by her cheerful song. Having completed eight years of public school, she studied music for three years, thus learning to make the very ivory sing. However, during these years she longed for a broader education and with this as her aim she accompanied her sister to Bethel. Here she is continually spreading sunshine, where’er she goes with her cheerful and soul-inspiring song. She has lived up to her motto. “Serve to glorify God” by singing his praises always and at all times. She has chosen the “Calla Lily” as her favorite flower and German” as her favorite study.

Like many of the Seniors she decided to complete her high school course at Bethel. and prepare to become a worker for the Master on the home field, this desire doubtless being fostered by the teachings of her parents.
