Larson Salutaiorian Motto—Simplicity, Sincerity, Service Colors—Blue and Gray Class Flosver—Tea Rose SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The history of the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-two of Bethel Academy is peculiarly different from that of a graduating class of a city high school. In securing our academic education we have been surrounded by a Christian atmosphere, which will be of untold benefit to us in life, helping us to live up to our motto: “Simplicity, Sincerity, and Service.” Then, our social activities have been different. The members of the class do not live all in one locality but represent nine different states and one foreign country. In delving into our archives we found volumes of interesting statistics and stories of past glories that we would like to bring to light, but lack of space and time forbids our doing so. Canto I Back in the fall of 1918, when the world had just fairly started to shake itself free from the horrors of the stupendous World War, we started our career as a class. If we remember rightly, “Freshmen,” was the word that the other classes insisted on calling us. And since everybody likes fresh fruit and vegetables, we imagine that the other classes really liked us. Do you remember our first business meeting when it took us all evening just to suggest the candidates for the class offices? One social event of the first month of school, which we as the class of ’22 will never forget, was the initiation given us by the Alpha Beta society, when they served us Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk and soft bread. We certainly appreciated their care for our diet and wish here to thank them for it, if they should chance to read this canto. The big outstanding event of the Freshman year, however, was a banquet given in honor of the Seniors. Never before or after has any Freshman class attempted to do that thing. That the Seniors appreciated it is proven by the fact that they, some weeks later, returned compliments in form of a banquet in honor of the “Frcshies.” Canto II In September 1919. our class found itself transplanted from the forests, plains, and cities, where the summer vacations had been spent, to the school of our choice, ready to begin a new year of search for knowledge. The Sophomore year was really the most tr v ing of the quartette of years we spent in Bethel. The boisterous Freshmen, the busy Juniors and the dignified Seniors generally received so much attention, that the Sophomores almost wondered if they were not relegated behind the stage of school life, to be forgotten. But the class of ’22 as Sophomores were not to be daunted by any neglect on the part of the other classes, so we just quietly but surely went to work and entertained ourselves. 21 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 We all remember our first social gathering, how Russell Palmquist was discovered as a story teller. Ever since, he has kept our class in good humor whenever he is around. At that gathering, Lester MacMillan rendered his first and only piano solo, and long may it wave. Another unique feature of that meeting was that Carol Taylor was there, this being the first and last social she attended during her career at Bethel. The Sophomore year finally came to a close and we parted with a determination to return again in the fall and bring others with us. Canto III September 14, 1920, found the class of ’22 back in the office of the principal signing the registration cards, and renewing old acquaintances, and meeting many new students. Co-operation and system became the characteristics of this new Junior class. Early in the year, the class was organized, electing the necessary officers and committees. One of the many virtues of the Junior class was that it was always sociable. Remembering Sophomore days, we invited that class twice during the year, to have joint meetings with us. Then we surely had some good times. Extemporaneous debates were very popular at our gatherings, and some of the deep, highly elevating, philosophical topics discussed were: “Resolved, That the Swedish language should predominate in Bethel,” and “Resolved, That a chicken has more intelligence than a duck.” Talents had been increasing in our class so that we now had orators, preachers, house-maids, butlers, athletes, poets, evangelists and singers. We would just mention Enoch Johnson’s name and everyone immediately thought of a second Caruso. Toward the close of the year, Russel Palmquist foretold our future positions twenty-five years hence in a class prophecy that caused the Juniors to reel with laughter. The later days were spent preparing for the Junior-Senior banquet under the able direction of our class advisor, Miss Freda Swenson. This banquet has gone down on the pages of history as the greatest ever held in Bethel Academy. Thus closed the happy Junior year. Canto IV In the fall of 1921, just after the great fifty years jubilee celebration of the Swedish Baptists of America had taken place, the class of ’22 again alighted from the Como cars and walked five blocks north to Bethel to finish their academic curriculum. At last we were Seniors and oh, what an exalted feeling crept over us when we walked around the halls and saw so many new Freshmen. The Seniors were to take a prominent place in school affairs this year. In athletics the Seniors took first place, winning the inter-class basket ball tournament. Many class socials with splendid programs were given throughout the year. On Monday evening, April 10th, the class entertained the faculty at a banquet given in the Commodore hotel, St. Paul, the first of its kind ever given by a Senior class. On Saturday evening, April 22nd, the Seniors gave their annual class entertainment, to the largest crowd that ever attended a Senior doings. The auditorium was crowded to the doors. The big features of the entertainment were “Back to the Farm” by Herbert Peterson, and the “Class Reunion Twenty-five Years from Now” given by the entire class. To show our appreciation to good old Bethel the class has decided to install a Radio receiving apparatus to be used in connection with the Science Department, and which we hope to have installed before graduation. At the time of this writing the class is looking forward to graduation, and after that has taken place, all school life at Bethel will be a matter of history, but ever to be remembered with a joy in our hearts by all members of the class of ’22.

Taylor, Esther Bodien, Russell Palmquist, Willimine Thompson. 22 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 SENIOR CLASS POEM When first we came to Bethel dear, We were but freshies green, I fear, We thought we knew what teachers know And teachers see, And battled every earthly foe But victors we. But time went on. The freshies passed. A year is all those glories last. And Sophomore’s ranks by us were filled A comely class. At Fall we all were really thrilled It came to pass. Of all the years in school we spent No time was more to proud ness lent Than proud and selfish sophomore year With freshies green Who must be taught respect, and fear Our powers keen. As Juniors, classified the third Our minds by Senior thoughts were stirred. We dreamt of one great closing day When toils are past, Next fall would find us, after summer’s stay As Senior’s classed. The year we call our senior year Our school grows very, very dear. Tho’ soon we’ll leave, to toil and care We still arc here And pluck the fruits of Knowledge fair, In Senior year. Hail, Bethel, Alma Mater true, We thank our T.ord, dear one, for you And tho’ we leave, our thoughts will pause A moment stay At sweet melodious time that was, But passed away. Four years, too short a time, but still Tho’ life may give us more of thrill And more of joys but hardships, too, We ne’er regret The joyous time at Bethel true Or her forget. Receive our thanks from hearts sincere May God still bless you, Him you fear, And take our greatest gift, our heartfelt thanks, Our wishes true We’ll fill each one the honor ranks To honor you. 25 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Old Father Time sits by and watches ages upon ages roll by. His hair is white, his brow is furrowed, his benevolent countenance expresses joy. The great clock of time is striking year 1950. As is his custom. Father Time opens his great diary to again record the deeds of the children of men. His face brightens and his voice as the sound of many waters pours forth. With a smile he says, “Blessings on thee. Bethel Academy Class of 1922, posterity salutes you! As I gaze over the wide world I find your members everywhere, performing the work of the world. My old eyes are dimmed with tears as I behold in a wretched hovel in the slums of New York City two busy women, Carol Taylor and Hannah Wiggman, fighting filth and disease, spreading cheer and the love of Chris: everywhere about them. All the children know them by the name of the ‘ladies who tell us about Jesus.’ The ambulance appears, and with an anxious look Hannah is sending little Johnny to Hope Hospital. I’ll follow along to see what happens. Lo, and behold, the door of the hospital is opened by no one but the great Dr. Enoch Johnson. That can't possibly be the fellow they called Red years ago; but that’s just the fellow. He is considerably changed, however. His hair is tinged with gray, and a small moustache adds to his manliness. What strikes me most, though, is the look in his eyes as he gazes upon little Johnny on his bed of suffering. The doctor is evidently directing the care of the boy to a sweet-faced nurse, who immediately trips lightly ahead of the stretcher and puts the small patient in a clean, white bed. After making him comfortable, she takes his temperature. But what is that ring she has on her finger? Why. I could have guessed it; it’s one of the B. A. ’22 rings, and this smiling face is Esther Bcdicn’s. But what has this messenger to tell someone at the door of the dietitian’s office? ‘The superintendent of nurses would like to see you, Miss Land-berg.’ What, another familiar name? I’ll follow Miss Landbcrg to Miss Bodien’s office and hear what they say. ‘Hello, Esther, what is it?’ ‘0 say, Eva, there’s a little fellow up here whom I am giving a little personal attention for the first days. Kindly give him an extra dish occasionally. His name is Johnny, one of Hannah’s boys.’ ” Father Time meanders, “Well, if I haven’t met with five members of ’22 in connection with this hospital. Birds of a feather flock together. “Perhaps, traveling westward, I shall find a few of ‘mv chosen tribe.’ I’ll stop here in Cheyenne. Beside a pretty little stream stands a beautiful home. The home is worthy of an artistic inmate and so it has Mr. Burriss Richardson. Upon a rustic bench sits a man before a canvass with a brush in his hand. His dreams make marvelous pictures, and the golden sunset, the green trees, and the winding rivulet make an excellent setting.” The speaker turns a page, and his trembling hand makes the paper rustle. He turns his head still farther westward and his eye is arrested by a large crowd of people in a bookstore in Seattle. He sees a middle-aged man with an amused and good-natured smile on his face watching what seems to be a bargain counter. Upon looking closer he finds it to be a counter where a new book, “The Passing of the Garage,” by Sigfried Sandberg, is being sold and going like ‘hot cakes.” Father Time speaks: “Why, this onlooker must be, and is, the author, he who is known over land and sea.” The seer turns his eyes back to the east and they rest on a great meeting. An international assemblage of bards is in session in one of the buildings of Bethel University. The assemblage has just elected a peer of poets. “They are introducing the new peer, I notice, and it is none other than Professor Herbert Peterson. He is preparing to speak, and see 24 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 how the audience is becoming electrified with attention for‘Pete’ is puckering his lips as he used to do, which always meant some inimitable witticism. Well up in front, a face draws my attention, and it proves to be none other than Edith Larson, who seems to be taking notes on the address. Yes, Edith is a well-known contributer to literature and is nationally recognized as one of the foremost literary critics. “Bethel has grown till it is one of the largest Universities of the Northwest. It is remarkable how it has advanced from an academy of a few hundred students and small equipment to an institution with a score of beautiful buildings and an enrollment reaching up into the thousands, but this is greatly due to the interest of the many alumni. “And here—do my eyes deceive me—I recognize a graceful, womanly form entering one of the buildings. Upon my word, it’s Dora Wallcndorf, who is Dean of Women and head of the Economics department of the school. “Perhaps I should find some others of that special class should I visit Minneapolis. On the corner of Ninth and Nicollet I at once notice a large white stone building. In large letters I read the familiar names, Mac Millan-Hagstrom Clothing House. I need go no farther, for right here my penetrating eyes can see the richly furnished offices of two of my former student friends. Immediately next door I sec another high building. Evidently this is a community house. In the front are large lobbies and in one corner I see the familiar face of Margaret Olson welcoming the weary wayfarers. Her hair, also, is tinged with gray, but her beauty is not marred. My eve is held by a name I sec on the desk beside her, ‘Harold Martinson, President!” Father Time strokes his beard, then continues: “But where is Edward Viren? The last record I have of him was when he received his degree in astronomy from Oxford. Behold, a large tower, an observatory in the northern part of Minnesota near his birthplace. Here I find him gazing through the telescope, traveling up the cloudy speck in the handle of Orion’s sword. Along a shady bank of an isolated stream in the Minnesota wilds, I find two shaggy-bearded fishermen. Suddenly one says, ‘Hank, have you heard this one?’ The speaker is Dr. Reuben Tanquist, now resting up after a world-wide lecture tour. He is speaking to Henry Johnson, lately returned from a visit to Mars. Henry Johnson is a special representative of the Government, whose business it is to establish diplomatic relations with newly discovered populated planets. “Next my attention is called to the United States Patent Office in Washington. Here I sec the electrical wizard, Roland Miller, from the Corn state petitioning for a number of patents, chief of which seems to be a pompadour bcautificr and hair wave creator. His face has a look of resignation in it as he sits in the office of Patent Examiner, listening to the eulogy of the lost town of Little Falls as expounded by the examiner, David Larson. While in ashington I am attracted to the aviation fields where multitudes are gathering. A new method of travel has been invented—that of a boat which travels on the wireless waves. Suddenly something darts from the sky and drops into the outspread net. It is the new invention and from the boat steps Carl Swanson and Adolph Johnson. It is announced that they had left Peking, China, only a second before, and that the trip was entirely successful. “Now my eyes turn again to the great city New York. Seeing a great auditorium, I may as well stop and follow the performance. The speaker is being introduced who proves 25 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 to be none other than George Ferre, formerly a minister of the Gospel, but at the request of his multitudinous friends, he consents to run for mayor’s office. The great auditorium rings as he announces his platform which is death to the tobacco industry and a strict Sky Blue Sunday. Next Miss Williminc Thompson is introduced as candidate for Police Commissioner’s office. With snapping eves, she denounces the present loose system, and offers a thorough clean-up and a white-washed town. “While in New York, I may as well visit the studio of Bertha Rask, sculptress. She has recently risen to prominence by her marvelous work, ‘The Schoolmaster,” immortalizing the great professor of Twentieth Century English of ’22. Odd, but true, as I look upon the statute the Bethel spirit radiates from that humanized countenance. “My attention is all at once caught by a scene I sec in an Omaha home. Here sits Eleanorc Bondc, my old friend, with her foot she rocks the cradle, and is queen of all the world, and with her pen she writes down thoughts that have raised the ideals of her sex to a level never before reached. “A great steamer is entering the harbor of Chicago from New York and Europe. Pacing the deck, I see an outstanding figure, evidently a statesman, judging from his frock-coat and tall hat. In his arms arc two dark-skinned babies. I recognize Claus Hammarstrom, United States minister to Turkey, coming home for a conference. It appears that he is a confirmed bachelor and that he has just adopted a pair of Turkish twins of whom he is very proud.” Next Father Time turns to Congo, Africa, where Bethel has her representative, Carl Ackerman and Ernest Ellstrom arc doing a great work as missionaries. He finds that Carl is called the “Second Livingstone” because of his and Earnest’s labors in this field. Back to New York City, to a great mass meeting, Father Time turns his gaze, Dr. R. 0. Palmquist is standing on a raised platform gasticulating as is his custom. His profusion of curls have miraculously disappeared from his head, and instead, have found a permanent abode upon his upper lip. The cause of his enthusiasm is the repeal of the Nineteenth Amendment: “Women of the world, I appeal to you to return to your desolate homes, and carry out the mission which was given to mothers.” “Far out on the steppes of Russia, I find a sandv-bcarded, gruff sea captain, whose occupation has sadly bowed his legs. He is sailing his small schooner under the flag of the Norwegian Soviet Government in quest of the lost bridge between the eastern and western hemispheres. The old salt is none other than Ernest Hassclblad. I hear a call from the cabin: ‘Oh, captain, I have found a new chord on the organ! IIow I bless Bethel for donating to us that pipe organ, and Providence for giving me little Jack to pump it!’ The voice is none other than that of Elvira Scherling, the wife of the captain's second mate.” Father Time now closes the chapter twenty-eight of the record book of the class of ’22 with the satisfaction that its members have contributed their share toward world progress thus fulfilling their class motto—“Simplicity, Sincerity and Service.” 26 m 1922 Blue Gray — 1922 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1922 We, the Senior Class of 1922 of Bethel Academy, and of the State of Minnesota, being of sound mind and of legal age, do hereby, in our last will and testament, bequeath, to wit: First: Wc bequeath to the Faculty our appreciation of the few zeros and failure slips they have given us, and also bequeath the right to show to the Juniors the same consideration that we have enjoyed as Seniors.

Shake well before using.” JUNIORVILLE WOMAN GAINS ENTRY INTO FLOWDERED EXILE OF FORMER AUSTRIAN RULER Mrs. Robt. Welliver and Daughter Reach “Sanctuary' of Kultur” on Island of Maderia, But “Visit” is cut Short. By dlbtrl Sorenson, Juniorville Correspondent Rome, March 15 (by mail.—One of the most sensational news pickups of the day is the story of how a Juniorvillc woman gained entrance to the villa of Charles of Austria in his flowered Maderia retreat. Mrs. Robert Welliver and her daughter, together with a number of friends from Juniorvillc recently lanced on the Island of Maderia off the coast of Portugal. Allan Munson, Elsie Hagberg, and Edith Palm were with her and, like the majority of tourists, were inquisitive. They had not been on the island long before they discovered the ex-cir.peror’s estate. Led by Mrs. Welliver, they walked boldly up to the gate, which seemed to have “No Admittance Here!” written all over it. For a moment they were perplexed as to how they should get inside and view the floral display but Juniorvillc ingenuity was aided at this moment by the arrival of an automobile, which evidently belonged to the place. Mrs. Welliver spoke to the driver in English—he gurgled back a few sounds in Portugese. Mr. Munson, who has recently mastered the Finnish language, attempted to converse with him in that tongue but the driver held his own. Miss Hagberg, who has for several years taught French, tried her best to make him understand what they wished, but in vain. He simply would not “Parlez-vous.” Miss Palm then made a final effort in Swedish—the driver was hopelessly obstinate. Whether the man understood what they said or not is not known, but certain it is that after a few moments reflection he jumped out of the car and pulled a rope 31 JUNIORVILLE WEEKLY which rang a bell. The gate swung open and in strolled Juniorville—innocent of all guile—to the “sanctuary of Kultur.” Or friends had just begun to make themselves at home when his highness’ royal aid appeared and informed them that this was anything but a public garden. An exit was the only ethical thing under the circumstances but Mrs. Welliver informs us that in spite of this cold reception she intends to pay his highness another visit in the near futuie. THREE ON ICE CAKE SAVED AT BRINK OF FALLS Rescurer Reaches Boys With Boat as Frozen Mass Pauses Before Plunge. Three boys, marooned on a cake of ice in the Mississippi river today, had a perilous ride downstream and were rescued at the brink of the falls by Robt. Welliver. Severely frightened by their hairbreadth escape, the trio jumped from the boat, which Welliver was rowing, and fled up the bank ahead of Robert, who tried to get their names. Welliver feels very much embarassed to think that the boys could escape from him, for while in France during the Great World War he won several medals for running. Eighty-Eighth Birthday Harold Lindblom celebrated his birthday on Saturday. Ilis good friend Mrs. Vernon Baxter made him a “treat for the boys,” a fine big cake, decorated with eighty-eight candles. Mr. Lindblom frequently gathers the village children about him and tells them of the time “when I was .a barefoot boy.” His favorite story, and one he never tires of telling, is that of the days when he was a Junior at Bethel. Congratulations and good wishes, Mr. Lindblom, from your many friends among us. Ate Potato Bug Powder Albert Sorensen, who lives alone about two and one-half miles southwest of New Finland, ate pancakes last Wednesday made from potato bug powder and became violently ill and is confined to his bed. VILLAGE ELECTION CAUSING INTEREST More Than One Candidate Filed for Each Office With Exception of Constable. The Juniorville election is causing the usual amount of interest these days. The time for filing closed Monday, March 14th. and the election will be held on Tuesday, the 19th. The polls will be open from 12 a. m. until 12 p. m. Yinette Carlson, Inez Sundberg and Phillip Turnwall will act as Judges. The clerks will be Oscar Johnson and “Christie” Anderson.

Will Lecture Wednesday on Big Game in Africa Carl Hogfelt, famous in literary circles for his “Essay on Wild Animals” has recently returned from his fourth big-game hunting expedition in South Africa, and will lecture in the Bethel Auditorium at S:00 p. m. next Wednesday under the auspices of the Juniorville Geographical Society. Five gorillas, three parrots, and two baboons were brought back to the Bethel Zoological Museum when he returned from his last hunting trip. Mr. Hogfelt is a bachelor and has a pet parrot of his own. He says they arc so much better to have around the house than a wife for they wilf say only what you teach them to say. He also states, contrary to the popular notion, that many African baboons are good-looking and some of them arc handsome. YVc wonder what he would say of some people if he saw them. 32 JUNIORVILLE WEEKLY Writes Popular Novel Miss Jewel Torkclson, Juniorvillc author, has just published her latest novel, “A Girl of the Period,” which ranks first among the books of the year. It is a romance of small town life, but is universal in its appeal. It will be of special interest to citizens of Juniorvillc for it is about them the plot of the book is woven. The author has carefully camouflaged her characters and yet left enough reality so we can readily guess who they are in actual life. It is not hard, for instance, to sec that the charming heroine, Isabel, who goes to the city in search of adventure, is none other than Elsie Wik. Then there’s Stephen Lockjaw, the ambitious lawyer, whom we learn to admire because of his eloquent oratory but who unfortunately is defeated in a debate with Miss Wik’s pet parrot—he can be none other than Arthur Nyborg. Two other characters who draw our attention and make us want to cheer for them are Iwell Skincm, real estate man, who suggests to us the name of Allan Munson and Miss Spelt, his fascinating stenographer, whom we recognize at once as Edith Palm. There is one character, however, whom we arc unable to definitely identify. That is Jonathan Barngate, the hero. The description of him is so vague it could apply to almost anybody. Nevertheless he is a noble and upright person in whom we become deeply interested before the book ends. Although we arc unable to definitely say who this Jonathan Barngate is, we have some slight suspicions but we refrain from expressing ourselves on this particular occasion for certain obvious reasons.

Miss Ellen Carlson of Hickoryr.ut Bend, underwent a serious operation last Wednesday evening.

They have at times been pointed out as having a verdant aspect, nevertheless the eagerness and vivid life of the class has been commended. Our basket ball team is one of the promising features. Although we didn’t rank first in the inter-class games, we fought a good fight. We have very promising material for future championship, and with hard work and good coaching, we shall vet defeat the other classes. Prior to this year, it has been the aim of some of the fun seeking members of the upper classes to appear at the first freshmen class meeting. Their reward has generally consisted of the much desired refreshments. This year from determination within the class and through a clever stratagem, we enjoyed our delicious lunch ourselves mixed with plenty of pep and class spirit. It is everyone’s duty to return next fall and as Sophomores show that we arc able to accomplish really remarkable things. Everyone of us who has any class pride will delight in putting every bi: of energy in bringing the class to a preeminent place. Let us each one do our best to be a worthy advertisement of our school, and not only come back next year ourselves, but return with a: least one new student as a proof of our love and loyalty. The class colors arc royal blue and gold. For the Student Council, Roger Wickstrand and Dora Carlson will represent the class next year. Clarence E.

I was in no mood for reading, So as I sat musing alone, I noticed a basket full of nuts, And took out a single one. It surely was a beauty; So I looked the others o’er And picking out all the choice ones Found I had just twenty-four. But what was this down at my feet? Oh, two had rolled away And seemed to be talking together In such a friendly way. At first it was only a whisper, But as I closer drew, And caught the sound of their voices It was Miller and Edythc, I knew. They seemed to be talking of others Whom at Bethel they had known, And some of whom they mentioned Had names of great renown. Then how, I cannot tell you, They knew they were being heard And so from out those two bright shells I caught not another word. 47 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 But, I had discovered that secrets Were concealed within each shell; And so decided to crack them open, For its story, each must tell. The first one that I opened, Told a story sweet and true, Of a far-famed, much-loved singer, Mabel Lundquist, it was you. A breezy sound came from the next. Roger Hanson was back from Mars He had just returned in his airship, From a tour among the stars. The cracking of another nut Shows Judith is still at shorthand, But now she is teaching the Hottentots And their lessons they write in the sand. A surprise awaits us all this time. For Margaret to Egypt has gone. And discovered that our Gregg System Was first found on the Rosetta Stone. Here is one holds an orphan asylum. With Myrtle as Matron, I see. Mabel Lundstrom stepsoutof the next one, And proves her assistant to be. And this nut has never left Bethel, For when we left our gift as a class, Lillian said,“It always needs cranking,” And she’s stuck at her post, well, dear lass. Within this, is a Royal Palace. Dora Johnson to Stockholm has gone. And daily receives dictation From the king as he sits on his throne. One hard crack tells Olga's story. She lives on royalty sure, For having invented a wondrous device By which a count to secure. The next reveals a bookkeeper true For such Mildred has proven to be, And at the Public Library She must often pay a fee. 48 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 An oyster shell this nut must have, For within a Pearl is found. Admired by many, but owned by one, Whose name I dare not sound. And what about our Evelyn? This shell seems hard to crack. Oh, she has accomplished wonders Found the needle in the hay-stack. This is such a fat one, But I hear it say OLIN. His fame has crossed the Atlantic Has his office in Aberdeen. A doctor’s assistant is Elsie As this nut will teli you soon. She looks after many patients But her favorite is the Man in the Moon How about this one from Hawaii? Esther Okerstrom’s face comes to view, She’s the president of the largest bank, In the city of Honolulu. This one docs crack so quickly, At once I sec Dora’s face. She is still spending time in shorthand But now works it in filet lace. This nut has high aspiration, U. S. President at Washington But the thing that troubles me most is How his daughter could be Swen-son. Now comes your turn Miller and Edythe, For you too, your story must tell. “We’ll always be happy together No matter where we dwell.” And here I find two pedagogues, Whose skill none can surpass, The names of Anderson and Kent, Are revered by many a class. Dear me, there goes the door-bell. Three more for sonic other day, But their fame and skill, 1 am certain Each will show in a wondrous way. 49 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 m GOLD MEDAL WINNERS (55 Words or Over) Edith L.

BETHEL COMMERCIAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION A year ago a number of the graduates of the Bethel Academy Commercial Department met in order to organize an alumni association. An association was organized and officers were elected. The purpose of the association is to preserve student fellowship and to further the best interests of the Commercial Department. The annual meeting was held on Visitors’ Day this year and the officers for the year 1922-23 were elected. They arc as follows: Eleanore Bonde, president; Gordon Bodicn, vice president; Enoch Johnson, recording secretary; Ellen Hedlund, corresponding secretary; Edythe Bjorklund, treasurer.

For the first time in the history of the school outside teams were played. Mostly all the players were inexperienced, so only two outside games were scheduled. Both of these battles were fought with the Phalen Luther Seminary on the latter’s grounds. The first contest was played on October 15th, which the Lutherans tucked away with by a score of 9 to 7. This battle was lost in the first quarter when the team seemed to be suffering from stage fright. The second contest was seen on November 7th during a snow-storm. The affair was a 7 to 7 draw. Bethel outplayed Luther, and during three-fourths of the second half the ball was within Luther’s thirty-yard line, but the local boys lacked the punch to put it over. In the game between the Bethel “All Stars” and the Bethel “Bull Dogs,” the former came out winners by a score of 7 to 0. Although five men arc lost by graduation, there arc many promising men in sight for the 1922 team; and with the excellent captain, Rudolph Dahlquist, we expect to make a good show-ing. The eleven w'ere under the instructions of our Coach, Mr. Willman. Those who participated in the football for the 1921 season are: Edward Viren L. E. Henry Funk R. E. Harold Lindblom L. T. Rudolph Dahlquist Q. B. ...L. G. Roland Miller . L. H. Henry Johnson . C. Silas Shellman R. H. Alford Hanson R. G. Adolph Johnson (Capt.) F. B. William Hendrickson R. T. Substitutions: George Carlson for Lindblom; Lloyd Lenning for Hanson; Alvin Pearson for Viren. 1922 - Blue ® Gray - 1922 THE BASKET BALL SEASON, 1921-22 The percentage of the Bethel basket ball team for the 1921-22 season was .615. The local boys played thirteen games, winning eight. Bethel fought only two battles on visiting floors, one at Waconia and the other at the Agricultural School. Bethel scored 246 points to 234 points for the opposing teams. Those who participated in the games were Lemuel Aldrich and Enoch Johnson as forwards; Adolph Johnson, captain; at center, Roland Miller; Archie Vetter and Claus Hammarstrom as guards. Professor August Wilman was coach; Rudolph Dahlquist and Edythe Bjorklund, yell leaders; Emil Aspaas, manager. Adolph Johnson and Lemuel Aldrich each caged 92 of the 246 points. Enoch Johnson came third with 52 points; Hammarstrom scored 8 and Vetter 2. The baskets are as follows: Aldrich 36, E. Johnson 14, A. Johnson 46, Hammarstrom 4, and Vetter 1. Free throws arc as follows: Aldrich 20 out of 62, E. Johnson 24 out of 73, and A. Johnson none out of 6. For the first time in the history of the school a team from outside of the state was played. This was the champion team of the Baptist churches of Des Moines, Iowa. Out of a scries of two games, each team won one. Four of this year’s players arc lost for next year’s team by graduation. This leaves only two veterans, namely Aldrich and Vetter, for the 1922-23 season, but there was promising material in the second team. The work of the team was on the whole very satisfactory. The boys played clean and hard, and it is worthy of note that during the entire season no player was disqualified because of personal fouls. The second team won one out of four games during the past year. The players comprising this team were E. Flassclblad, captain; L. Lcnning, R. Dahlquist, R. Wickstrand, W. Hendrickson, E. Forssell, D. Larson, and G. Carlson.

He is an all around good player. Enoch A. Johnson “Enotch” served time on the scrubs but for the last, two years he has had a berth with the regulars. His endurance and fight made him a good man at one of forward positions. Lemuel Aldrich “Lem” served a very short apprenticeship on the scrubs. This year he was given a berth on the first team and proved himself worthy of the position. In spite of youth and inexperience he displayed real class as a forward. He has two years left at Bethel. 56 m 1922 - Blue ? Gray - 1922 Roland Miller “Spuds’ ” hard and conscientious work on the second team won him a position on the regulars this year. His close guarding brought grief to many an ambitious forward. Archie Vetter Archie, although new at school as well as on the team, proved to have in himself the stuff that guards are made of. He has one more year at Bethel and we will no doubt hear about him next year. “Ham” put in his first full year with the team this year. His endurance and strength made him a good man to call in when needed. Claus Hammarstrom 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 BASEBALL Bethel was represented in an academic baseball league in the spring of 1922 for the first time in the school’s base ball history. There arc five teams in the league. One team, Luther, dropped out before the season opened. The first game was played on April 26 and will close on May 26th. The line-up is as follows: Acolph Johnson, p; Henry Funk, c; Roger Wickstrand, lb; Lawrence Bergstrom, 2b; William Hendrickson, 3b; Rudolph Dahlquist, ss; Archie Vetter, If; Roland Miller, cf; Lloyd Lenning, if. The utility men arc George Carlson, Clarence Wallin and Clifford Eckbcrg. The manager is Emil Aspaas. In the first three games played, Adolph Johnson struck out 43 opposing batters.

As a proof of this we point to the Students’ Association. It was organized about a year and a half ago. It is composed of all the students of Bethel Academy. The Executive Board of the Students’ Association, or the Student Council, which is composed of a certain number of representatives from each class among whom are the officers of the Association, has general oversight of all student activities. It appoints the various committees and boards that work under the association. These arc the Athletic Board, the Student Conduct Committee, and the Publicity Committee. It also appoints the Clarion staff as well as managers for all athletic teams. The Association has thus far proved to be a success, and has filled a gap that was very evident before it existed. Considerable credit for the success of the Association is due to Prof. E. A. Finstrom, who drew up the constitution. 59 1922 — Blue Gray — 1922 THE CLARION STAFF Back Row—Harold I.indblom.

It is a twelve-page publication, issued once a month during the school year. The publication of this paper is entirely in the hands of the students. The staff is appointed from among the students by the executive committee of the Students’ Association. The Clarion is a new venture in a school publication for Bethel Academy. The first issue came out in October, 1921. It is in several respects different from any of its predecessors. It has aimed to give a faithful account of school activities in every department and to work for a bigger and better Bethel. 60 THE MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION The Ministerial Association of Bethel Academy is an organization composed of all the students in the Academy who arc preparing for the ministry. Very little is said and little is known about this organization. The reason for this is, however, not that it is inactive, but rather that it does its work in a quiet way; yet that work is nevertheless effective. The work of the Association in school is done in seclusion but the results of these labors arc brought to light during the vacation months. Its members are then busily proclaiming the glad tidings of salvation and peace to the people in needy and neglected fields. The work of the association has been carried on under the supervision and leadership of Prof. Adolph Olson. Thirteen meetings have been held this year. Sermonettes and extemporaneous speeches have been the most enjoyable feature of these meetings, but sermon and sermon outline construction, and often destruction, have occupied the greater part of the time. Besides this other phases of the Ministerial calling have been studied. SVEA SOCIETY The Svea Society is the only foreign language literary society in Bethel Academy. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in the Swedish language. The Svea Society has a strong membership and holds meetings twice a month. All programs arc conducted in the Swedish language and consist of readings, addresses, debates, etc. Besides the usual programs, an Annual Declamatory Contest is held. This year’s contest was held on March 11th and the winners were as follows: Mrs. A. Sten, first prize; Ernest Olson, second prize.

I 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 1922 — Blue Gray — 1922 BETHEL GLEE CLUB This organization is made up of more than twenty “Jolly Fellows.” It has during the past added much to the name and record of Bethel’s musical department. Through it, Bethel has been represented in a worthy manner in the Twin Cities and throughout the State of Minnesota. It participates in concerts at the Institute, and conducts annually a concert tour. This year’s tour includes the following places: Anoka, St. Cloud, Lake Eliz-beth, Willmar, Grove City and Cokato. The director is Prof. Geo. Hultgren. Through his efficient directorship the Glee Club has received thorough instruction and training, which places it on a high standard among other organizations of its kind. Prof. Hultgren is also director of the Arpi Male Chorus, Minneapolis, and organist and musical director at the Swedish Tabernacle, Minneapolis. We appreciate his efficient leadership and count it a privilege to have him as director. Prof. A. H. Oberg is also a member of the chorus, and has served during the year as accompanist. 63 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 STUDENT VOLUNTEERS Bock Row—Ernest Nelson, Frank Anderson, Bengt Anderson, August Berg, F. LeRoy Sundvall, Walfrcd Johnson. front Ron—Lloyd l,cnning, Esther Bodicn, Harold Martinson, Minnie Carlson, Emil Nylund. Jewell Torkclson, Carl Ackerman. STUDENT VOLUNTEERS The Student Volunteers is one of the liveliest organizations in Bethel Academy. More than ten per cent of the students arc members of this band and many more are now ready to join. Elsie Wik, Minnie Carlson, Harold Martinson, and Carl Ackerman were the delegates from Bethel, at the State Student Volunteer Convention at Northfield, Minn., February 17 to 19. Those who have gone out as foreign missionaries arc as follows: Dr. and Mrs. Jonas Ahlquist, Assam, India; Rudolph Crook, M. D., T3, Chengtu, Szcchucn, China; Frank B. Rhenstrom, ’15, East India; Victor H. Sword, T5, Assam, India; Mrs. Victor Sword (Cora Walters, ’16), Assam, India; Hildah Lund, 18, Africa. OLIVIA JOHNSON MEMORIAL MISSIONARY MOVEMENT The Olivia Johnson Memorial Missionary Movement is now three years old. It was organized in 1919, shortly after the death of Olivia Johnson. Three open programs have been given this year, the annual one on May 28. Financially this has been a very successful year. The fund is growing and soon we hope that sufficient money will have been collected to erect some fitting memorial to our departed sister. The officers of the movement this year have been, Emil Nylund, president; and Russell Bavin, secretary and treasurer. The other members of the executive committee are Herbert Peterson, Edith Palm, Minnie Carlson, Ernest Olson, Sigfried Sandberg, Frank Anderson, Dr. Hagstrom and Principal Wingblade. 64 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 THE ATHENAEAN SOCIETY In almost every school there arc a number of literary societies, whereas social organizations arc comparatively few. Education has failed of its purpose if only the mind is developed and the social nature of the student is neglected. In view of this fact, the Ath-cnacan girls thought it advisable to make their society a social organization rather than a literary one. The following officers were elected and served during the school year ’21-’22: Evangeline Landberg, President, Elsie Wik, Pice-president, VlNNETTE Carlson, Secretary, Willi mine Thompson, Treasurer. Plans were immediately made for good times, and consequently several enjoyable meetings were given. Just before the Christmas holidays, rumors were going about the school that the Athenacans had a surprise “up their sleeves.” The climax came when one Wednesday afternnon—that being Athenaean day—the boys and faculty were invited down to the gymnasium where a good time had been prepared for all. In the life of a great man there is usually some particular act by reason of which he claims distinction. Likewise, by their “All-School Party” this society acquired popularity. This great event was supplemented with several more in the form of parties, hikes, etc. ALPHA BETA LITERARY SOCIETY A most important organization of the student is the literary society, which serves to put into practice that which is taught us in the class room. The Alpha Beta Literary Society is such an organization, where the rough material is developed into strength and power, through the practical experience afforded in speeches, debates and orations. It is purely a student organization and officered by the students. Meetings arc held every alternate Saturday evening, to which the public is always invited. Under its auspices, a number of very interesting literary contests have been held. The contests and their winners arc as follows: The Annual Reading Contest—Elsie Wik, first; Minnie Carlson, second. The Oratorical Contest—Arthur Nyborg, first; Albert Sorenson, second. The Girls’ Declamatory Contest—Elsie Hagberg, first; Elsie Wik, second. Those who have served as officers for their respective terms arc: First Semester Russell Palmquist Elsie Wik Pice President Secretary Dora Wallendorf Treasurer Edward Viren Second Semester President Herbert L. Peterson Pice President Lydia Hultgrkn Secretary Edith Palm Treasurer 1922 - Blue Gray - 1922 PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS A class in Public Speaking is offered to all students who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity. This class is free, and gives two semester’s credit for a year’s work. Those preparing for the ministry or for missionary service arc especially urged to take this course. For those who need or desire more personal work, private lessons arc arranged to suit the time of the student. A charge is made for this at regular rates. Small private classes may be elected for which a small fee is charged. Public reading of the Bible is emphasized, and programs by the students are given at chapel before the student body. Other opportunities to appear before the public arc given in the various contests: Debating, Oratorical, Reading and Declamatory, and in the student recitals. (.6 Q|________1922 - Blue Qg?
