PRINCIPAL ALFRED J. WINGBLADE It is now fourteen years since Prof. A. J. Wingblade began teaching at Bethel Academy. He assumed the principalsliip in 1912 succeeding Dr. Gordh and has since then been at the head of the Academy. The students who have studied under him as well as the Swedish Baptist denomination as a whole are deeply indebted to him for his loyalty to the denomination and unselfish devotion to the best interests of the students. It has meant no small sacrifice for him, as well as all the teachers of our institution, to devote himself to the cause of Christian education. But he has considered what sacrifice he has been called upon to make well repaid in the satisfac- tion and joy derived from serving God and his fellow-men by inculcating Christian ideals into the minds and hearts of young lives. Our best wishes follow him for God’s richest blessings and many years of service in the work he loves so much.

THE BETHEL HERALD 23 St. Paul for att hedra grundlaggaren, s val som alia som langre eller kortare tid tja-nat samfundet i dess betydelsefulla skol-verksamhet. There ought to be a grand reunion of all who have received their preparation under its tutorage. Grundlaggaren och de som narmast upp-togo verksamheten efter honom aro all he-der varda for deras mod att i trots av alia sv riglieter och nodvandiga uppoffringar, lagga en sk saker grund och fora saken tram t till harlig seger. Vi std nu p deras skuldror och rona frukterna av deras gedigna pionararbete. Konferensen har satt till m l att vid den-na hogtid sarcla en grundfond p $200,000 och det ar att hoppas att detta hoga mil mi kunna uppnis. Litom oss hedra minnet av vira fdre-gingare och betrygga samfundets framtid genom att pi allt satt understodja och be-frimja virt kara seminarium. COMMENCEMENT At graduation perhaps as never before do the words of Longfellow ring out: Life is real, Life is earnest. A completed school course is the commencement of one’s life work. The happy care-free school days are exchanged for the stern reality of life. Yet no one who has used his days of preparation wisely need fear the future. He commences his career confident of a life of usefulness to God and to mankind. A large number of excellent young men and women, the largest in the history of Bethel, graduate this year and all join most heartily in wishing every one of them Godspeed in whatever realm of life each expects to enter. Great things are prophesied of them and great things aro expected of them and we know we shall not be disappointed if all remain true to the precepts inculcated at dear old Bethel. May this be the commencement of great things for all of you. A WORD OF THANKS The measure of success attained by the Bethel Herald during the school year now drawing to a close is due to the splendid co-operation enjoyed in its publication. No venture of this kind can be successfully carried out without such co-operation and The Staff wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to the faculties and students of both schools, the subscribers and advertisers and all who have in any way contributed to the success of the publication. We are especially indebted to our faculty advisers, Prof. A. Olson, in the Seminary and Prof. H. C. Wingblade in the Academy for their timely and valuable suggestions and advice. Bethel Herald Staff. Det har glatt oss, att Herren fdrlanat v r avh llne larare och seminariets forest n-dare, cl:r Lagergren, halsa och krafter, sk att han under hela Aret kunnat fortsatta sitt arbete 1 Seminariet. Samfundet m kanr.a sig trygg, sk lange som d:r Lagergren undervisar i Seminariet och lagger grunden for predikanternas verksamhet p ordets fasta grundval. M tte Herren val-signa och spara denne v x hogtaktade la-rare och samfundsnian till annu m nga Sr av tjanst for Guds rikes uppbyggande bland v rt svenska folk i Amcrika. The world is old, yet likes to laugh. New jokes are hard to find, And even a whole new Herald staff Can’t tickle every mind. So if you meet some ancient joke, Decked out in modern guise, Don’t frown and call the thing a joke.” Just laugh—don’t be too wise. —Anonymous.
