One of these copies was recently sold for $50,000. One of the latest pieces of printed matter to come from the press will lie the Bethannual. and the printing of it consumes perhaps five minutes. It is. however, a matter for rejoicing and gratitude that the latter is not only a product of the former, as one step of the evolution in the part of printing, but most and best of all in the matter which makes up its copy. As the message of the Bible goes into the making of character, which builds the life beautiful, so the work of Bethel Academy in class room and chapel, as well as in its publications, the Clarion and the Bethannual, makes a distinct contribution to the rounding out of the full-orbed life. Though continuing in the path of the “Blue and Gray” with a new name. Bethannual, it still breathes the Bethel spirit, and gives the Bethel message, which is “Trust in God and Work.” Education has been called another form of spring cleaning. It is cleaning up of the mind to un-learn what we learn, to fling out one’s mental rubbish and store the mind with what is really useful and beautiful. Even the highest and most spiritual forms of education answer to the same description. The one who knows how to forget the things that are best forgotten and to remember all the things that arc best remembered, has mastered the high art of education. The apostle Paul referred to this when he said: “This one thing I do. forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press forward toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” The Golden Age is ahead, of that there can be no doubt, the age of increasing knowledge, matchless achievements, and unprecedented progress. May we, therefore, press on to have our full part in its triumphs. Helen Keller has aptly said. “Join the great company of those that make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness. Carry a vision of Heaven in your hearts and you shall make your home, your school, the world, corresjxmd to this vision. Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer trappings. The great enduring realities are love and service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.” That the horizon of every Bethel Senior and every reader of the Bethannual may, in the words of the immortal Judson. be “as bright as the promises of God.” contitutes the heart yearning of the entire Faculty.

When we must break the ties which, hold us fast: The ties of friendship, stronger grown, and dear, ith each successive year that we have passed. We cannot well express the joy we feel In knowing we are through: still wc regret That wc must leave a school so live, so real. Whose Christian principles we'll ne’er forget. Four years have passed, and yet to us it seems These years were short, each shorter than the last. But now we all have realized our dreams And find ourselves this year as Seniors classed. As comrades we have studied and have played. Our joys and sorrows we have shared the same; And humbly to our Maker we have prayed That wc might live for Him. and praise His name. To us the door of life is open wide And we must all as soldiers face the fight: And none should falter now but each decide The truest course, to champion the right. The coming years will bring us happiness, , And we by daily living may deserve The greatest of contentment and success, , If we will do as Jesus did—just serve.

You know we were given that card with the numbers of the rooms and the names of the subjects. I surely was excited, because I didn’t dare to come in late and have everybody stare at me. “Why, Camie, that was nothing. I remember when some of us went looking all over the State Fair Grounds for the Boarding Club. And you know how many buildings there are in the fair grounds. And that wasn’t all. either. We were just starved before we ever started, because we couldn’t lunch whenever we pleased after we got to Bethel. 1 certainly feel sorry for you. Art. but that doesn't help now. I guess. “No, 1 should say not. Arvkl. Oh. listen. Edith! Do you remcmlxrr what a good time we had at the weiner roast a few days after school began? It was at Minnehaha Falls. Yes, I'll say I do! We sure had a good, old time. But the joke came just as we had finished eating our buns and weiners. when a cop came ?.ixl told us we couldn’t have a fire at that place, but would have to put it out and go somewhere else. I'm glad we were all through eating. The falls were so beautiful, and if I can remember right, it gave some such an inspiration tliat they tried walking back to Bethel, and—. “Oh. that wasn't exciting at all. I'll tell you something worth listening to. “Now, Arvid, you know it isn't polite to interupt like that. “I beg your iKtrdon. but I can't help it. I've just got to tell about that Freshman party on—oh. let me see. I think it was the 4th of October. Maybe you don't all remember tliat quite a while before the main program was to come off. a bunch of ils were all excited because we heard they were going to initiate Nyborg and Fritz.’ And sure enough, before long a bunch of boys came. They took Nyborg and carried him down stairs, and they got 'Fritz' down tlx-re. too. i'll never forget how angry some of the girls were. Do you remember that, Nyborg?” Oh. I’ll never forget it as long as I live. I think we ought to give Thora a chance to tell about the program which we had afterwards. You remember it. don't you?” Yes. a person couldn't possibly forget that; I don’t, of course, remember every number on the program, but I do remember that Emcrie Gustafson gave tlx welcome speech and he said, ‘Welcome. Bethel Freshmen, welcome.’ He surely must have said ’welcome’ one hundred times. Ixcausc it is ringing in my ears yet After that welcome speech we were ushered into the study hall by the chairman, Lillian Wik. I remember there was a circle of chairs, with a group of chairs in the middle. Some of the most important, or the greenest, I don't know which, were in tlx- middle. 1 know I wasn't. Were you. Nyborg? “Were you. Camie ? Yes, of course, I was, I’ll never forget the dainty and delicious refreshments they gave us. Say, Munson, I thought that I was supposed to tell about this, but I’ll let you tell the rest. I can almost taste tlx sc refreshments now when I think of it. Oh, tliat gloss starch pudding, flavored with lemon and mixed with gravel raisins from the Bethel roof garden, rubber binders and sugar sand, and all this garnished with bananas. It sure was some spread. Oh, yes, we got one-half of a chocolate eclair, too. “Listen, there's the plxine ringing. 1 wonder who tliat can lx-.” It was Elizalx th Carlson. She wanted to know if you folks are still here. She said she could not come until late, hut she is coming over right away. “Let's see. Who was our first President? It was Enoch 'Johnson. And Burris Richardson was Vice President, and he became our President tlx- second semester. Ob. yes. that’s right I remember. The second semester he became President, and Elizabeth Carlson became Vice President. But by all means don’t forget tliat Hallowe’en party they gave us: when we walked between Ixittlcs blind folded, and Professor Snyder stepped into a tub of water, PaKc 2i ( ) 1923 — The Bethannual — 1923 iiiititliiilliii iitiittiiiMiiitittiiciiiiiiiiiMttHiiiiii Jiiiiiiiu tiiiiiitiitisniiit t:iMt iii£B:t:ii«iiiiiiiiiBiiiniinii nun mi iiiiiiniciniiniiiHiiiili iimmir tiniBiiiiu m Yes, and my, but it was dark when we first came into the chapel. And all of a sudden, bang! And the lights went on.” “What made the bang?” “Oh, two pans were knocked together.” And do you remember how sorry we felt at tltc end of the first semester?” “No, we don't. What for?” “It was because we were denied our semester’s examinations, so we couldn't show the teachers how much we knew. This was on account of the ‘flew’ epidemic. “Ila, ha, ha, that's pretty good. I had forgotten all about that. Here comes Elizabeth. Hello, Elizabeth! Glad to sec you. Hotter late than never.” “Hello, folks! I sure am glad I could come, even if it is late.” We liave been talking about tire time we were Ereshies.” It certainly is interesting. Isn't it?” Yes, it sure it. Listen, Betty, you tell us about that time we Freshmen had a party with the Seniors.” Oh, yes! The Juniors, Sophomores and Commercials tried to take our refreshments, but they made a mistake and took the Seniors’ ice cream instead. I remember they were told they better learn the 'Golden Rule’ and The Ten Commandments’.” For goodness sake, folks, don’t forget that last social we had, when we treated all the rest of the school.” Oh, yes, and the ice cream gave out. That sure was a good joke. We gave them pie a la mode and coffee.” “Art, you haven't talked much for a while. We can’t think of anything else that liap-pened during the Freshman year.” “Why, people, don’t you remember that awful fuss we had deciding about that tree we were to plant? Some of the class wanted an umbrella tree that would look artistic, you know. And otlters wanted an oak tree that would look sturdy, as strength and dignity was really the least that could be expected from such a class. The greater number wanted an oak tree, and we got it. Now, some of you folks were not among us when we were Freshmen, but came with us into our Sophomore class. What do you remember about the Sopliomorc year? Gladys, you ought to remember, you were Secretary.” “Oh, there was little that happened the Sophomore year. Henry Joluison was our President and Edith Palm our Vice President. One of our programs was an extemporaneous affair. And it was interesting to note what a bright class we really had. Another social we will never forget, was the one we had with the Junior class. It was at tliis time tliat no class members were recognized, but many cliaractcrs of times past, from all over the world, honored Bethel Academy with their presence. Wild cowboys, aristocratic old maids carrying smelling salts and pet cats, tramps, haughty men of high social standing, old women from Sweden and young belles of tlic eighteenth century, joined in rendering a splendid program. “Yes, and there was an accident that occurcd to one of our members during the second year. Don’t you remember, Gladys?” No, I don’t. ’Fritz’ received a slight injury to his head by falling backwards in his chair, bumping his head upon a radiator. However, he quickly recovered.” “And I remember how Harold always used to go around and say, ‘You tell ’em, the Sophomores know’.” “But the Junior year wasn't extraordinarily exciting either, only when we won all the declamatory and oratorical contests, and debates. How excited we used to be.” “The Juniors were there all right when it came to speaking, no one can deny that.” “And then there was the Junior-Senior banquet. That was a grand affair, at least that was what the Seniors said.” Yes, and then there was that feeling tliat next year we would be Seniors and it would be the last year. And we thought tluit would Ik a great thing.” “But it really doesn’t seem the way I thought it would, to be a Senior. I have enjoyed this year immensely, but even so, it lias been much like the rest. We have had to deal with English IV, and have failed to find it as hard as the Seniors of last year tried to toll us.” “Even so. it lias been continually doing things for the last time, and it lias made me rather sad.” Say, but tluit last Senior party was sonic corker. Oh! Gene, but you make a swell girl. And Elvira, my, but you were a sight.” I don’t care, I enjoy liard-timc parties once in a while. You can have some tun without thinking you arc going to mess your dress, anyhow.” “What do you think about the gift we are going to give the school? I think that those two museum cases are just the thing.” “They certainly arc, Dick. Now, we will have to send back some things to add to those Bethel already lias, to put in them.” “Oh, yes, 1 am going to send back a monkey from Africa.” Pnge 24 1923 — The Bethannual 1923 s “Say, they arc not monkey cages.” “I didn’t say so. I guess I can send back a stuffed monkey, can't I ?” “But tell me, wasn’t the Junior-Senior banquet a great success, though? A lot of good tilings to eat The room was so pretty and the speeches were just fine. At least I thought so.” “It sure was. But do you folks all realize that Commencement will be here in a few days, and then we will be no more at Bethel.” “How sad! But why do they call it Commencement? Oh, you know tliat is because we have just got started doing something. Don’t you think, though, that after all the Itard work and study, we have had a splendid time these four years at Bethel?” “We sure have.” And then all was still. The clock ticked on, the hands going round counting the time wltcn another class would pass from the halls of Bethel. Senior Class Prophecy A beautiful touring car rolled up the Park Boulevard in the fashionable suburbs of Chicago. The charming woman at the wheel turned her car into the broad driveway leading to a spacious mansion, the center of a perfect fairyland of shrubbery. As she stepped lightly from her car, she spied in the hammock, gently swinging beneath the tall trees, a white figure, deeply engrossed in the pages of a book. The sound of her step on the walk attracted the attention of the reader, an in an instant she was on her feet and coming toward her. “Why—Elsie Hag-berg! If this isn’t the surprise of my life. We heard your ship was delayed. When did you arrive?” “Oh, Em, you can’t imagine how delighted I am to be back. Our ship was delayed in Honolulu, but our party was so eager to get back to America that we transferred there to the RS4 Northern Air Route and arrived in Chicago yesterday morning.” “I’m so glad you did; your letters have been exceedingly short and I have been so anxious to hear all about your trip abroad.” Saying this, Emma put her arm about her friend’s waist and drew her into the hammock beside her. Thus they conversed for a few minutes when Elsie suddenly asked, “Do you know why I was especially anxious to be with you today? Do you realize it is just twenty years ago today since we graduated from Bethel Academy?” “Do I? I’ve been thinking about it all day. Just look at this.” She held up a book. “Why, if it isn’t our dear old ’23 Bethannual.” Elsie exclaimed, taking the book and turning the pages. “Say, can you imagine who our aviator was on RS4? None other than Elmer Cain. I was so suprised to learn that this line is owned by Allan Munson. Elmer. I understand, is manager of the flying corps.” “Well, I am not at all surprized at that.” Emma replied; “he always was a flighty sort of a chap.” “Oh, yes,” Elsie went on excitedly, “and I met so many of the others on my trip. The first person I saw, when I boarded the Savannah at New York, was Rudolph Dahlquist on his way back to Africa. I had no idea lie was going back so soon, but it seems that his great work in the Sudan Hospital was irresistibly urging him back. And, you know, he told me Eugene Dolph was coming to help him in a few months, as soon as he could lie relieved of his responsibility as Superintendent of Bellevue Hospital, New York City. And that wasn't all. either. One day when we were prominading the deck, we bumped into the Captain of the ship, and—can you imagine—it was Harold Lindholm. After a rather checkered career he has finally settled down to the life of a roving sea Captain.” “Well, isn't that strange. Oh. Elsie, I’ve got a real, sure enough surprise Page 25 1923 siiimui iitnimMiiiNaiiaiiiur The Bethannual—1923 for you tonight. Emma rescinded with dancing eyes. “Well. Emma Mossherg Denhv. what on earth can it be? You look so delightfully mischievous.” “Well, just wait: you'll find out soon enough. But. come on. let's take a walk alxnit the grounds: it’s almost dinner time. Did you meet any of the others on your trip?” “Oh. ves. you know I visited Thor a Loman while in Paris. You know her husband is the American Ambassador to France, and then. too. while 1 was there I met Philip Turn wall and Ragnar Bergren. They were just returning from a trip through the Holy Land. Philip has charge of a large Church in Texas now, and I understand he certainly has made a success of his work. And. as for Reg. of course, you know the wonderful work he has been doing as a sky pilot in Alaska.” “Yes. I did hear of that. Emma replied; “I wonder why Reg never married? By the way. did you notice in the Tribune alxnit Alvin Pearson’s marriage to Dorothy Donaldson, the world’s tennis champion. I understand he has made quite a success as a chemist at the Federal Laboratories in Washington. D. C.” “No. I didn’t know that. Well, well! T haven’t had time to look at a papier since 1 got back. Blit, speaking of surprises, it was in Paris, too. that wc had a real thrill. Thora had invited us to go with her to a concert given by Sousa's band, which was making its annual world tour. Can you imagine our utter amazement to find the director to be none other than Elvera Edstani. Do you remember the Spinster Club Band, which she directed during her Senior year at Bethel?” “Yes. 1 do,” Emma exclaimed. “Who could forget it? How little we realized that this was the first round of the ladder upon which she would rise to international fame.” Thus conversing, they strolled about the beautiful grounds for some time. As they were returning, a group of six approached the house from the opi osite gate, talking and laughing gaily. Elsie opened her eyes in surprise, while her companion ran eagerly forward to greet her guests. Mrs. Denby had promised Elsie a surprise, but this far exceeded her expectations. For here were six of her former Bethel classmates, older and more mature, to lie sure, but it was evident that they had not lost the genial, happy spirit that characterized them in ’23. It was a distinguished group, for it was composed of an eminent Chicago physician. Dr. Arvid Hedberg: the pastor of one of Chicago’s largest churches. Rev. Richard Hoiland; the Dean of Women in Chicago University. Emma Johnson; and the President of the Woman’s City Welfare League. Vinnettc Carlson. It was, indeed, a joyous and informal meeting of old friends. “You were certainly very kind. Mrs. Denby. for asking us to come out here today.” Dick liegan in his usual jovial manner, “but I think this crowd owes me a vote of thanks for the presence of ‘Inky’; I ran across him at the Radisson today. Permit me. folks, to introduce to you the Hon. Mel ford Olson. President of the National Bccman’s Association.” “Well, don’t claim all the credit. Dick.” Vinnette interrupted. I spent a whole hour this evening waiting for ‘Camie’ to get through coaching her athletic team of the ‘U.’ so I could bring her out. “Well, at any rate I am so glad you arc here. Emma exclaimed in her usual enthusiastic manner. “If only you had brought the other twenty-three while you were about it! But come on. folks, dinner is waiting.” and she led the way into an inviting dining room. “Yes. but just think how impossible that would be. Dr. Hedberg said. “I wonder where we all arc anyway. By the way. while on my western trip. I met Edith. Palm in Seattle. She was on her way back to the Philippine Islands, where she and Gladys Rundquist have charge of a large school for girls. 1 understand it’s quite a wonderful work. Girls do surprise you sometimes, don’t they?”. Page 26 “So you will finally admit it. Arvid?” laughed Elsie. “I remember you used to speak rather disparagingly of girls’ abilities and accomplishments.” “I must confess I am forced to admit it. when 1 can’t even pick up a daily newspaper without finding some reference to your work at the Dramatic Conservatory. I wonder if you realize you are getting to be quite famous.” “That reminds me of Ethel Skoglund.” exclaimed Emma Johnson. “Have you folks heard of her great work. She has l ccn causing quite a commotion in China by her agitation for better schools for girls. And. unless I miss my guess, she’ll get them. too. And Minnie Carlson, too; I noticed an item in the Christian Work the other day which says she had taken charge of the Keejdwa Kindergarten in Central Africa. Isn’t that wonderful?” “Yes, and isn’t it strange.” Caniie exclaimed; “I just had a letter from Jx : Thompson the other day. She is collecting specimens for the London Historical Society. She was rather elated over the fact that she had just found a new species of queer birds. And Archie Vetter is out there, too. He lias been aj -pointed by the government to superintend the conservation of Australia’s natural resources.” “Well. said Inky. “I ran across a couple of Bcthclitcs just the other day. When I was in Washington. D. C.. I visited a session of the Senate, and to my surprise I found Gunnard Xordquist to he the Speaker of the House. And. on my way back. I heard Arthur Nyborg in Cleveland. Ohio. He is traveling about the country speaking in liehalf of Home Missions. His headquarters are in Cleveland.’’ “Oh. say, Dick put in, “did the rest of those girls in our class, who were planning on Foreign Missionary work, really go? 1 guess they did. didn't they? Elna Forssell is in Russia. She seems to have charmed the Bolshevists into good behaviour, in her district at least. And Alice Elg is. down in Cuba, as a dietitian in a government hospital. Milton Ward really took Elizabeth to Brazil, didn’t he? And when I attended the World Missionary Conference at Philadelphia last spring. I had the good fortune to meet Jewell Torkelson and Elsie Wik. Jewell, by the way. has general oversight of Educational Missions in British East Africa now. and Elsie is returning to her work in India, after touring this country, arousing interest in the women and girls of India.” “Why. I never realized that half of our class had gone into active Christian work. said Arvid. “but isn’t it splendid?” “It certainly is.” replied Dick. “It shows that at Bethel we received something more than knowledge of science and history, for it was there that we really caught the vision of true service.” Senior Class Song ('rune: “My Maryland ) I You ask me what class 1 love the l est. ’23. oh 23. !For she’s the queen of all the rest, ’23. oh 23.

Wingblade To you, dear friend, I dedicate this space: To you, whom all the Seniors learned to love; To you, whose personality and race Has shown reflected, that of Christ above. To you, dear friend, this little verse I write With greetings from the class of twenty-three. To bring this message is my great delight; Accept our kindest wish, we beg oi thee. When years have gone, we shall remember you: And, wiser grown, look back upon these days And sec our faults, and note how wisely you Did steer us right upon our varied ways. You showed to all a kindly sympathy. And patiently have helped us in our work; But you, severe and strict at times could be. When we were lazy and did naught but shirk. Where is the man w!k without firmness horn Could learn to rule a state, could rule himself? There is no such, no weakling ever born Could confidence inspire, he lacked himself. We students have had confidence in you. And though at times we have unruly been Have only had respect and love for you, And gladly did submit to discipline. Whatever you in days gone by have thought. Whatever may have passed within your mind. About these boys and girls which you have taught. Fear not for them, their hearts arc true, and kind. If ever you should think your work in vain, Dismiss that thought, I say it is not true! And I would now proclaim with might and main. We arc just what we arc, because of you. And row to you this message I would leave. Accept our kindest wishes and our love; And deep down in your Iteart of hearts receive God’s solemn benediction from above. —Rudolph Dahlquist.

We also feel that you will want to know us personally, so we are giving you an opportunity to meet us. Accordingly we have listed below the members of our progressive class and something about each, though we realize much more could be said in their behalf: Our class President. Albeit Berg, is a fine chap, jolly, yet serious. Louise Larson is quiet, demure lassie, but to know her is to love her. Then we have Dorothy Swartz, capable and worthy, having taken an active part in the literary field this past year. We want to introduce Anna Ksau, also among the literary forces as one of our deep thinkers. Here we have Leland Jacobson, a witty lad, whom everyone likes. Then there is Howard Sackett, handsome and brilliant beyond all degree. We have in our class a quiet, young lady by the name of Annie Stearns, who finds much good to do. There can be no better equipped man than one who is trained physically, mentally and spiritually; that’s our athlete, Ewald Johnson. One whose company everybody enjoys is Clara Hanson. She is modest and dcbonnairc. Cennevieve Grim is a much talented young lady of our class. Among our talented class we have Charles Wohlford, a gifted musician. A studious and intelligent lad is Eugene Lundquist, “he will succeed.” Emil Aspaas no doubt will lie a great editor some day. We envy people who know much. Gottfred Johnson is among that group and, what’s more, he thinks much, too. Another athlete is Lemuel Aldrich; he has been the agency through which we have won many a basketball game. We’re glad to introduce Ethel Warwick, an attractive young lady and very talented in music. Jolly, yes, and industrious—well, it’s Ruth E. Johnson. Academies must have artistic people. We have Russell Bavin. Dale Anderson, our will-be-doctor, is an interesting gentleman. Is she attractive, loving, and has she curls? We’ll say so. It’s Violet Hanson. Frank Anderson is an interesting speaker, who believes in kindheartedness. Does she believe in smiles? Well, I guess. She’s Mary Billman, from whom the Yanks received so much care while in the hospitals across the sea. A good-hearted, talented young lady is our Secretary. Zeraph Hedstrom. Paul Hcd, oh. yes! He’s the man who studies shorthand on the side. Mabel Johnson—what shall wc say of her? Those who know her best say we cannot say too much, so we’ll leave it there. Rose Steinl erg is the newest member of our class. A charming lass. A fine elocutionist, a conscientious worker, the “office boy” last year—oh, that’s Alford Hanson. Wc do appreciate the Class of ’23 and admit that they are of the finest, but we believe you will agree from the above evidence that the Class of ’24 will measure up to them, to say the least. S. F. S. P. S.—Sylvia Strom hails from North Dakota. She is one of the most modest as well as one of the brightest. We will hear from her in future years. —The Editor.

Bethel Institute sustains a grievous loss. Mr. Danielson has been connected with our school for five years and has during these years ably filled the position of teacher of history and the Social Sciences. He has simultaneously served the institution in the capacity of Bursar and Head Bookkeeper as well as financial adviser to the various organizations. This year he has been adviser to the Junior Class, who greatly appreciate his kindly help and advice: Mr. Danielson has also worked with the Student Volunteers and acted as faculty representative when delegates from the school have lx en sent to various state conventions. This has no doubt served to increase his own interest in missions, which has finally made the Macedonian call definite and irresistible. We appreciate Mr. Danielson’s progressive attitude in class room and out. his manly bearing, his genial and friendly attitude, his earnest and painstaking methods of work. He is much thought of and highly respected by Faculty members and students alike. Distinctively a product of Bethel Academy, he stands a credit to those who dared to begin and who feared not to carry on through troublous and turbulent storms. Mr. Danielson's name is found among the list of students in the first cat aloe of Bethel Academy. He graduated from Bethel in 1910. After a successful business experience, he went to college and received bis A. B. degree at Macalestcr in 1918. having served as assistant teacher at Bethel during his last year in college. Then for one year he was active with the government during the World War. In 1919 Bethel again claimed him. Mr. Danielson now leaves us to take up a larger work in the regions beyond. Our good wishes and prayers follow him and Mrs. Danielson (also a product of Bethel) as they go forth to their God-given work. By Principal A. J.

Its great fun to sec the old students. My roommate is back, too. The girls all stop and talk to me. We all tease the Freshies, who are greener than grass. I’m mighty glad I'm past that stage. September 19—Can you imagine it ? A fresh ic tried to tell me how to do my Algebra today. I f anything, he ought to ask me for help. September 23—Had class election of officers today. Raymond Rice is President; Clarence Hanson. Vice President: Louise Hedbcrg. Secretary, and Ernest Nelson, Treasurer. Our class colors are royal blue and gold. October 16—We had our first class social this evening; a big crowd out and lots of fun. It's almost twelve o’clock, dear diary, and I must remember my two quizzes for tomorrow. October 22—Have finally finished my theme for English II. Hope I don’t have to read it; it isn't very good. October 25—First grade cards out today! I’ve gotten a good one, too—all Sophs do. November 25—I leave today for home. Hurrah! I'm thankful for Thanksgiving. Can hardly wait to see the folks and for that Turkey dinner and mother’s mince pie. Am thankful because I have two more years left at Bethel. February 27—Just got back from the Sophomore sleigh ride party. The snow was almost all gone, but we had a good time anyway. The old toboggan broke. Hope we don’t have to pay for it. We had hot soup after our ride. Then all went up to chapel to hear the Bethel Glee Club concert over the radio. March 9—Working liard to sell Annuals. Sophs and “mighty Seniors” arc leading. March 11—We are way ahead of the Seniors. Joe Friberg is the champion salesman. March 17—Basketball season is over. Lenning and Wickslrand have played on the team. They’re Sophs, too. March 20—Tomorrow is the final for the contest. Oh. I hope we win. we have worked hard. March 22—I feel as if mv last friend has gone. Can hardly eat or sleep. We lost. If we had all worked as hard as Joe. we could have beat the Seniors. Congratulations to the great and wise Seniors. They did well. April 3—Back from Easter vacation. School has been fine this year. Am going to try to do letter in all my classes the rest of the year. I think I need to. April 27—Today was Arbor Day. All classes planted trees or vines. The Sophs planted an elm tree and an ivy. May 29—Working hard—outdoors tempts me—but final exams are soon upon us. Work, work, work. June 5—Finals tomorrow, in a few days 1 must say farewell, but oh. I’m glad that I’m coming back next year. Page 41 E AC RAZY WILT Page -12 M e If o r { 0 S o x H o oj Ye.

This opinion of the salty Sophomore is shared by the more seasoned Junior while the dignified Senior merely allows the classman just mentioned to further impress the newcomer with the fact that he is terribly ignorant. Therefore, we Freshmen take pleasure in telling that Bethel had Freshmen long before any Seniors appeared. They were the charter members, not of tltc school only, but of the most important organizations within the school, liven today authorities on the question frankly admit that the school would soon lx- compelled to close. In short, wc arc the ones who got the thing started and who now keep it going. Now that we have the start, it is up to us to win the race: none will suffer more if wc lose. When wc entered Bethel, we touched the first rung of the ladder which leads to success, for knowledge and power are still closely related. Our aim is to go all the way through school for. if the start is a condition for the finish, the completion of the course is even more a condition for success. When looking through this magazine, did you notice the Freshmen's picture? We arc-sure tliat you will agree with the old friend of the school who said, It is refreshing just to look at it; it is Young America, with a few pieces of the old sod sprinkled in. These red-blooded, promising youths, with that eager look upon their faces, arc men and women of tomorrow; and those who have come from across the sea seem to have realized that an education is worth more than the gold they sought in tlvc new world. And he went on to say that he was glad there were a large number of the sturdy type who were true to Bethel style in making their own way through school. Well, even a Freshman can understand such language, and wc think Uncle Swan is a regular prince. ‘'Uncle Swan is not our only admirer; there arc many that offer us homage. Every time wc have picked up a Clarion there has been something about the Frcshic to cheer us on the way. Surely wc will not forget the poet of the Clarion staff—the handiest” poet the world has ever known. The mere sight of a Freshic's pocket inspired the writing of his masterpiece, which was published in the Clarion. Shakespeare will lx dwarfed when our friend tlx- poet rises to fame. There is little to he said about our athletic efforts. We expect to say more about it a year from now. But these are echoes from our social doings: The best time I've ever liad in my life! Yes. that's the kind of party we want! and No Killjoy around either! Mrs. Kent, our class adviser, has done much to make our socials enjoyable and shown great ability in creating a feeling of unity among us. It seems that our greatness, of which wc boasted in the beginning of this chapter, is tapering off. When wc look around us we, too, realize that wc owe so much to others. We shall not soon forget the splendid reception given in our honor when wc first entered school, and there is no reason why we should resent the fun they might have had at our expense; for while we enjoyed it just as much, they paid for it with hard money. Seniors, who arc now to leave us, wc wish to say this to you: Wc appreciate your broadmindedness and the fine spirit in which you received us when wc came here as strangers. The encouraging smiles and kind words were signs of the true Bethel spirit, wlwsc champions you have been. Wc shall try to lx true to the inheritance you leave us, and to the ideals of Bethel.

Flozver—Violet. Colors—Lavender and Gray. Fifteen Years Hence Look here, Ethel! Efiie Johnson, newly elected President of the Women’s League for Suppression of Gum Chewing, gives Iter inaugural address at Hassett’s Roof Garden, St. Paul, Minnesota. Could it possibly be the Efiie who went to Bethel tlic year we did? It certainly is, Alphicld, for here’s the Minneapolis Journal and her picture is on the front page. She’s changed a great deal, but I still recognize her. Where is Stcllc? She must see this!” “She just went down to the post office with Nimrod Rodclius. She happened to meet him down there today, wasn’t that luck?” “Nimrod? Well, he must be prosperous to be down tlicrc; what docs he do?” Haven’t you heard about him? That surprises me! He’s one of the most prominent brokers on Wall Street. And you remember Helen Hawkinson; she is his private secretary. Well, of all things! Did he mention Anna Miller, Helen’s bosom friend? “Yes, he did; and she is married and was celebrating her tenth anniversary the day she last wrote to Helen. That is news! I hope Estelle and Nimrod return soon, so we can tell them about Effie. Wouldn’t it be fun to look up the rest of the class, too? When we're all together we can all contribute and probably locate tlicni all.” “Talking about ar.gcls, here they are now!” Don’t you just love her name, Mrs. Estelle Galliford Kingsley? It's hard to imagine her married and a widow, all in sucii a short time.” “Mr. Rodclius, I hope you haven’t forgotten Ethel Swanson; she's Reverend Roberts’s wife. They have a parish in La Grange.

Efiie in politics! I suppose she is a success, too, for she always was good in her arguments. Argumentation is one of her strong points and she will always uphold her principles. Listen, listen, Mildred Bcrglund is cn a concert tour, and is in La Grange tonight at our Church. I wish I could be at home as it rs not very often any of my old Minnesota friends get down this far. They seem to have a natural dread of the south. “Isn’t that splendid! And still, is it not queer how we have learned the fates of so many of our old classmates?

She has been head supervisor of New York's largest hospital, but I understand that she is soon resigning to do research work.” “I am sure she makes a wonderful nurse, because she is so calm ami so gentle.” And, Nimrod, have you kept in touch with Ted Richards at all?” Yes, l e is the physical director and coach at Bethel, and is a wonderful success. In the latest Clarion I received, they had just given a farewell banquet for Rose Steinberg, who is leaving for Africa within a month. Ted was toastmaster for the occasion. Why Rose was in our class, too, wasn't she ?” Yes, she was.

The part these had in the rendition of the Messiah recently demonstrated their talent and ability. Of these Miss Smedberg and Mr. Swanson receive voice certificates, and Mrs. Anderson a diploma in music. The Music Department of Bethel Academy has been growing from year to year. It is at present under the direction of Prof. George G. Hultgrcn. who is also our voice teacher and director of the Choral Society and the Glee Club. Other members of the faculty are Mr. A. M. Oberg, teacher of piano, harmony and piano tuning; Miss Marie Ackerlund. teacher of violin, and Mrs. Lillian R. Morin Dahlgrcn, teacher of piano and organ. The enrollment this year is ninety-five. Among the forward steps taken by the department this year is the organization of a branch studio under the supervision of Prof. Oberg at 991 Payne Avenue. St. Paul and Minneapolis. The oratorio was also given over the radio from the WLAG station. The Bethel Glee Club made a trip through points in Minnesota again this year under direction of Prof. Hultgren. Prof. Oberg also going along as pianist. On February 26th the Glee Club gave a concert over radio.

Hultgren, it has made a name for itself and hcl| ed greatly to boost the school. Prof. A. H. Oberg, also a member of the chorus, is its accompanist. During the past year, the chorus has made many apj earances. Concerts have been given in several of the Twin Citv churches and in Stillwater, Minn., besides participation in concerts given at the academy auditorium. The annual concert tour of the club included, this spring, the following places: Isanti (North), Cambridge, Grasston. Mora, and Comfort. Superior and Duluth. On February 26. these limits and boundaries of Minnesota were overstepped when a concert was broadcasted from the Minneapolis radio station—WLAG. Reports from as distant points as Georgia. New Jersey, and Texas, indicate that the program was very well received. Next year's activities promise to l e even greater and more varied, and the Glee Club seeks new members from the Bethel “family,” who are able and willing to sing.

M. Having stopped in Anoka for a few minutes (to make sure that Prof. Oberg's Ford was following), we soon arrived at Isanti, amidst swirling dust-clouds. Our arrival was greeted hv a table all spread and so we dug in. Naturally such a start could be followed only by a successful program. The following afternoon we turned our faces toward Cambridge—this time, however, we rode to the rhythmic click, click, clatter of the chains against tlrc fenders. In spite of rainy weather the church was crowded that evening and we had a good time in Cambridge. At Grasslon we were royally received by Rev. Jolui Franklin. A large hall had been rented for the concert, but even this spacious room was filled. That we enjoyed Franklin’s hospitality is evidenced by the fact tliat one of ll e boys forget his satchel, making a return trip imperative. We were soon to learn, though, that there were other treats in store, because on the way to Quamba we stopped just outside of Mora to partake of a wiener-roast on the banks of a peaceful, rippling river. This visit at Quamba was greatly enjoyed by us all. We were royally received—especially by th.c pastor. But our most pleasant time was spent in Duluth. The whole of Saturday was spent in sight-seeing and having a good time generally. (For information sec the boys!) After this day of recuperation we were ready to give three concerts on Sunday (Bethel Day). In tlie morning we appeared in Bctliel Church, and in the afternoon in Bethany Church and also in tlie Swedish Mission Tabernacle, where we sang two songs. The great climax of the day ar.d of the trip was reached in the evening when we rendered a program following a baptismal service. The 1923 Glee Club tour is now a pleasant memory. Our endeavor was to represent truly our Alma Mater ami the Christian principles for which she stands, and to this end we trust that our efforts were not in vain.

THE STUDENT VOLUNTEERS The Student Volunteer Band is one of the liveliest organizations of tltc school. It consists of twcnty-cnc active members who have chosen the foreign missionary fields as their place for life service. It is also interesting to notice tliat the band includes thirty-three per cent of tire Seminary students, as well as one of tire faculty members and his wife. Six meetings liave been held during the year for special missionary study, when book reviews have been given of the lives of various pioneer missionaries, as well as of the fields in which they work. Great interest has been shown in these meetings. Six meetings have been held at various missions and cliurches in the Twin Cities, with great spiritual benefit to the Church and members as well as to the members of the band. Furthermore, the Christian spirit was manifest early this year, when tlie band, with the aid of the other students and the faculty, mailed two large boxes of Christmas gifts, early in November, to Rev. Gustafson in China, for distribution in his mission there. Wc arc glad to see our members, one by one, going to fill tlrcir places on the foreign fields. Miss Hilda Lund, class 1918, is now studying the language and tropical diseases in Belgium, and will be ready for her field in Congo, Africa, in September. She sailed for Belgium in September. 1922. Professor Danielson, who is well beloved by the band as well as by all the students and faculty, will sail, together with his wife and family, for his chosen field in Assam, India, in September. He will be missed very much by the whole “Bethel family, but what is our loss is India’s gain. The officers of the hand of 1923 are as follows: Minnie Carlson, President; Walford Johnson.

STUDENTS Bethel Institute was primarily built to offer an education to young men and women entering religious work. The Ministerial Students’ Association is necessarily one of the most important organizations at Bethel. From this association the leaders of our denomination for tomorrow will he chosen. The Ministerial Students’ Association is composed of those young men who have felt the call of God to the ministry. They number twenty-one this year and are the nucleus of success in the literary as well as in the athletic endeavors of our school. During the past school year many meetings have been conducted by the boys. During the summer months many of the hoys will occupy the pulpits in various fields. A course in Homiletics has been given to the association by our adviser, Prof. Olson. Wc have met twice a month for this class. Much stress has been laid on outline and sermon making. Quite often the originator of an outline has failed to recognize his masterpiece after it has passed through the mill of criticism. Preaching of sermonettes has l ecn very interesting. We feel indebted to Prof. Olson for his untiring efforts during the past year. Wc pray that the knowledge that we have derived from his efforts will he used to the furtherance of God s kingdom as we have an opportunity to present the story of salvation. Page 6} 1923 — The Bethannual — 1923 Olivia Johnson Memorial Missionary Movement In a little hospital room upon a white cot lay a young lady in the prime of life. Round about stood a few friends who lingered to be near as that soul took its flight to its Maker. One of those who stood by looked into that serene face and said, “But, can you leave your work so scon? You have just begun.” The faint answer came back, “Do not tempt me”; and a few minutes later, just as the soul was ready to leave this earth to be with Jesus, she said, 'Send three in my place. Who was this young lady? It was our revered Alumna, Olivia Joluison, ’13. Blikingc, that most beautiful portion of Sweden, was the childhood home of Olivia Johnson. Here she was born ar.d here she grew up into maidenhood, and here at 14 years of age she found Jesus as her Saviour. Two years later she was baptized and joined the Church. Olivia was early about her Master's work, telling others the Blessed Story. She was not satisfied down in her heart; she could hear the cry of the millions of boys and girls in a far away land who asked her to tell them the story they had never heard. With a determination to heed the voice that called her to the foreign field Olivia Johnson set sail for America to obtain the necessary education to fit her for her task. She entered the Women's Baptist Missionary Training School of Chicago. After the completion of her course she spent several years as a Home Missionary in Kansas. Feeling surer than ever that the Lord was calling her to the foreign field, Olivia came to Bethel to complete her education. Here she surmounted innumerable difficulties, winning the love and admiration of the entire Bethel family. After graduating with the Class of 1913 she applied to the Foreign Missionary Board to be sent to Congo, Africa. But this she was refused, for as yet the board could not send unmarried women to that country. She was advised to go to the Philippines instead. In the fall of 1913 Olivia Joluison set sail for her field. After five years of labor for her Master in this field, Olivia Johnson returned to America for a much needed rest. While here she became critically ill and died January, 19, 1919, at the Midway Hospital. Abraliam Lincoln uttered these words in that speech which shall never be forgotten: “True consecration is the duty of the living that the dead may not have died in vain.” During the last few moments of her earthly life Olivia Johnson prayed, Send three in my place.” Send three in my place. Send three to those who wander in darkness to tell them of Jesus. Who dares to ignore the challenge of our devoted Alumna? God help us to meet the issue squarely. Desiring to perpetuate the memory of Olivia Johnson in some fitting way, the Olivia Johnson Memorial Missionary Movement was begun at Bethel Institute in the spring of 1919. One of the aims of the movement is to erect a suitable memorial, presumably a chapel, upon her last field of labor, the Philippine Islands. A dollar entitles anyone to become a member for one year, the fee being applied for the above purpose. The officers during the past year have been C. Arthur Nyborg. President; Ragnar F. Bergren, Secretary and Treasurer.

Every morning, during school days, a prayer meeting is held in one of tlte class rooms. This meeting begins at seven-thirty and continues to the first bell, which rings at eight o'clock. On Friday evening, unless there is some special meeting, a prayer meeting is held in the seminary chapel. These meetings have been the source of many blessings and are of great value to those who attend. The work is not confined to the school, however. Wc extend the work to the various churches in the Twin Cities. On Sunday afternoons these students have charge of tlx: Young Peoples’ meeting in some Church. Students arc thus given an opportunity to develop their talents by speaking, singing, etc. A free-will offering is taken, which is used to pay the expenses of publishing a Bible Reading Calendar. The purpose of this calendar is to promote systematic reading of the Bible, covering the New Testmcnt in two years. Meetings arc also held at Old Peoples' Homes to cheer and gladcn the hearts of thcold folks. “How Readest Thou?” It is one thing to read the Bible through, Another thing to read, to learn and do. Some read it with design to learn to read, But to the subject pay but little heed. Some read it as their duty once a week, But no instruction from the Bible seek; While others read it with but little care, With no regard to how they read, nor where. Some read it as a history, to know How people lived three thousand years ago. Some read to bring themselves into repute, By showing others how they can dispute; While others read because their neighbors do, To see how long it will take to read it tlirough. Some read it for the wonders that arc there— How David killed a lion and a bear; While others read it with uncommon care, Hoping to find some contradictions there! Sonic read as though it did not speak to them, But to the people of Jerusalem. On reads with father's specs upon his head. And secs the things just as his father said. Some read to prove a pre-adopted creed— Hence, understand but little that they read; For every passage in tlie book they bend, To make it suit that all-important end! Some people read, as I have often thought, To teach the book instead of being taught, And some there arc who read it out of spite— I fear there are but few who read it right. So many people in these latter days, Have read the Bible in so many ways That few can tell which system is the best, For every party contradicts the rest! But read it prayerfully, and you will sec, Although men contradict, (iod’s words agree. For what the early Bible prophets wrote, Wc find that Christ and his apostles quote: So trust no creed that trembles to recall What has been penned by one and verified by all.

STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION The Executive Board consists of members elected from each class; three from the Senior class, two from the Junior and Sophomore classes respectively, and one each from the Freshmen and Commercials. The ideals of Bethel are high. It is the purpose of the association to uphold these ideals and, if possible, raise them still higher. It appoints all committees and boards as well as the managers for the various athletic teams. This organization has been in existence only two or three years, and past successes are but evidences of the worthy purpose for which it was brought into existence.

It is a twelve-page publication, and is issued once a month. The purpose of the Clarion is to enable the friends of the school, as well as the parents of the students, to keep in touch with the work and the activities of our school, and thus to arouse their interest. It also acts as a publicity agent, for it is sent to prospective students and carries with it the true Bethel spirit, which makes others want to join the Bethel group. It awakens and maintains the interest of the students in school activities by mentioning anything they do that is worthy of note. The staff is composed of students, and their work along this line gives them practical experience and valuable training. Page 6 Plf 11-11 Turnwall, Oratorical CONTEST WINNERS Elsik Hacrerc. Emma Mossbf.kg, Declamatory Reading ALPHA BETA LITERARY SOCIETY Bethel is a school that develops its students physically, mentally and spiritually. In view of this fact several literary societies have been organized. The outstanding literary society of Bethel is the Alpha Beta. This society was organized in 1906. Since then the society has had a remarkable growth. Its purpose is to develop the intellectual ability of the students in literary work and also in parliamentary law. Former students that have been memljers of this society are scattered throughout the world, and no doubt owe much of their present success to the training received while taking part in its programs. The Society is, indeed, fortunate in having a live President. Under the magic sway of his hand air castles are built that remain and become of life-long benefit to the students. Under the direction of this society, various contests have been held. Thirty-six students volunteered to take part in the parliamentary debates, making it necessary to have two debates at each try-out. The programs arc given on alternate Saturday evenings. These programs have consisted of declamations, addresses, debates, extemporaneous speeches, parliamentary practice and various musical contributions. Not only the students but the public as well have shown great interest in the programs, by then-attendance. The contest and their winners are as follows: The Annual Reading Contest—Emma Mosslierg. first, and Kina Forssell. second. The Oratorical Contest—Philip Turnwall, first, and Albert Berg, second. The Declamatory Contest—Elsie Hagl erg, first, and Emma Mossbcrg, second. i Poge 0 1923 — The Rethannual — 1923 THE BETHEL BIG FOUR We show herewith the cuts of the four leading debaters in the school.

They are. from left to right: ARTHUR NYBORG. who has distinguished himself by his effective delivery. both as orator and debater. GLADYS RUNDQUIST, who bv her quiet, yet forceful, presentation, always carries her audience, whether the nature of her discourse ! e argumentative speaking or dramatic reading, in both of which she has won signal honors. ELSIE VVIK, who jxossesses a personality in which is mingled deep sympathy with a rare power of delivery. 'Phis has enabled her to carry off many well-deserved victories on the literary society platform.

Few schools of the size of Bethel can boast of such a progressive foreignspeaking literary association as Svea. During the past year the programs that have been rendered and the keen appreciation of the listeners, have proved once again that Svea has a permanent place at Bethel. Bethel owes its birth and growth to the Swedish Baptist Denomination of America. It was the inborn Swedish desire for education that conceived of Bethel. It was Swedish prayers under which it came into existence and Swedish prayers, augmented by Swedish hard-earned money, has brought it to be what it is. Dare Svea ever be anything but the best? In Svea is given the opportunity to use a language that need not be despised. It gives the student an opportunity to study men and a country that is rich in literary possession. As we study Sweden.—its people and its ideals so deeply religious.—we cannot but become better Americans thereby. Perhaps the greatest fete of the year was the first annual Svea Banquet. Over one hundred gathered to enjoy a real Swedish Banquet. During the latter part of the evening, various toasts and musical selections were given to the appreciation of all. It was indeed a memorable occasion. The annual Svea Declamatory Contest was held again this year. Gordon Carlson was awarded the first decision; Nels Ferre, the second. Let us make Svea just as vital to Bethel’s welfare in the future as it has been in the past. C. Arthur Nyborg. THE ATHENAEAN SOCIETY A unique organization in the realm of school activities is the Athenaean Society. Originally this organization was designed to be a literary society for girls, but in the history of its development the girls conceived the idea of making it a social organization. Since a complete education calls for the development of all one’s faculties, and since the social life is important, this plan was approved, and it has worked successfully. During the school year of 1922-23, under the direction of Miss Violet Wallen-dorf, faculty adviser, plans were laid for several good times. The first was a hike and weiner roast down on the banks of the beautiful Mississippi, early in October. Then, near the Thanksgiving season, came the event unexcelled in all Bethel history. For its “Open Night” the society adopted as a subject for entertainment “The Spinster Club,” and the girls in appropriate costumes, assisted by the Spinsters’ Club Kitchen Orchestra, drew from their audience peal after peal of laughter and applause. The last social of the year was a Valentine Party, given on February 14. One of the class rooms was arranged and beautifully decorated for the occasion, and the girls spent a very enjoyable afternoon in the old-fashioned, good time way. Jewell L.

He made things interesting for the other fellow at every opportunity, breaking up many well-laid plans of tlic other team. His sole aim was to make Bethel's score safe, and his team mates comfortable at the same time. Yc hate to lose him l v graduation in June. Lemuel Aldrich Forward Lem was an astounding performer. His speed and fighting spirit was a puzzle to his opponents and made the opposing fuards work for dear life. His ootwork cannot be excelled. Lem was a shining light on tlac defense as well as on the offense. He will be available next year and should be a powerful man cti the team. s' n Richard Hoi land Forward Dick, although new at Bethel this year, was an old veteran at the basketball game. He is a very fast man and is always causing his guards trouble, while his uncanny ability to shoot baskets often put Betliel in the fight. He leaves in June and it will be a liard task to find a man to fill the gap caused by his departure. Page 7a 1923 — The 1111111111:11111 niiiiimiiimtiiimim minim iuiimiiiiiiiiiii Bethannual — 1923 Rudolph Dahlquist Forward Dolly, though small, was a bear cat. His opponents at all times were larger titan he, but this never deterred him. His quickness and speed upon the floor cannot be described to their full merit. He moved with the rapidity of a flash of lightning. He, too, steps out ill June and will likewise be missed. Roger Wick strand Center Roger played the center position and played it well. He is always reliable and steady, both on defensive and offensive work. Roger was always making trouble for the opposing team, either by putting himself in the way of their passing or by shooting baskets for his own team. He will be seen in action again next year. Lloyd Lexning Guard Lloyd is a player of great ability. He will be remembered by his opponents as a hard man; many were the shots lie broke up. He was a wonder on defense. On the offense Ik knew the game well and his basket shooting was good. Lloyd should Ik one of next year's stars if he continues the good work started this season. Kkkdolpii Johnson Ponca rd Philabunk did not come out for Ixasketball until a goodly portion of the season was over. But lie soon showed his ability as a great player. Although he was our utility man this year, he will have an opportunity to make himself better known next year.

More titan thirty candidates signed the slips passed out to all the boys. The first practice brought out several candidates for each position. Bethel is represented in the Academic League this year. The other teams in this league are: I)c La Salle, Minnesota College, Cretin, University Hgh, and St. Thomas High. Each team must play sx games. Henry Funk was elected captain of the team at a mcctng held by the players. Charles Entner will be expected to do most of the pitching this season, with Henry Funk catching. The first game was played on April 2_7th, with Minnesota College at the Minnesota College grounds. Bethel lost this game 13 to 5. On May 9th St. Tliomas defeated Bethel 19 to 2 on our own grounds. On tlie afternoon of May 12th. Bethel defeated Minnehaha Academy 11 to 8, in a special game. On May 15th Minnesota College again defeated Bethel. In a special game with Breck School, Bethel came out victor by a wide margin. At the time of this writing is it impossible to tell where Bethel will place in league standings. Bethel this year is represented by a baseball team made up of an aggregatou of hard working and fighting players. C. A. W. TRACK On May 12th Bethel easily defeated Minncltaha. At Norton Field, where the running events were held, Minncltaha was only able to take a second place in the 220-yard dash and a tliird place in the 100-yard dash. But in the field events the tide turned. The running high jump and the discus went completely to Minnehaha and for a moment it looked black for Bethel. Lindblom and Nyborg did themselves credit for Bethel in the running broad jump, which came next, taking first and second in a hard-fought struggle. Laming then let his all into the shot-pnt, making a first position, and cinching the meet for Bethel. This is how it looked: 220-ynrd dash: Wolford. B Mile: 5 Cain, B 100-yard dash: Engstrom, M 3 Wolford,” B 3 Nyborg, B 1 Engstrom, M 1 Bethel won the mile relay easily. The following Bethel men took part: Cain 5 Running high jump: Discus: Nyborg Johanson, M 5 Bcrglund. M. 5 Sackett Wiborg, M 3 ... 3 Wolford Hokanson, M 1 Anderson, M 1 With il c material we have at Bethel, under proper coaching coupled with genuine workouts by the boy, Bethel should be able to face any like school in the state. We liavc been somewhat handicapped by not having a track of our own. This, however, has been made up by the generosity of Mainline University, which gave us tlx: use of their track at Norton Field. Two meets have been staged this year. The Interclass Meet, held on April 28th, and the Dual Meet, held with Minncliaha Academy on May 12iIl The result of the Interclass Meet was an easy victory for the Seniors. The scores stood: Senior, 33; Junior, 22; Soplximorc, 15; Freshman. 1; Commercial, 1. Tiic following men earned letters: Howard Sackett Milford Olson Arthur Nyborg Lloyd Lenning Harold Lindblom Allan Munson Charles Wolford Running broad jump: Shot-put: Pole vault:. Lindblom.

During the fall and spring montlis when weather permits the indoor classes arc disbanded for outdoor activities such as hiking, kitten ball and volley ball. During the winter months the classes met once a week in the school gymnasium. Setting-up exercises, drills in marching, wand and Indian club drills were given. The girls showed much interest and enthusiasm for this work and we are looking forward to these classes again next year.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE The Department of Domestic Science, Sewing and Cooking, was introduced in Bethel this year and has won much favor from the students. The department has its quarters on the third floor. The kitchen, with its light walls and white woodwork, is a very attractive room. The equipment is excellent. Twelve students can be accommodated in each class, making the classes large enough for the interest, incentive and enthusiasm so necessary for successful class room work and small enough to insure individual attention. The practical side of cooking, that of preparing food for the table is not the only object of this course, but the chemistry of foods and its relation to the preparation of food is also introduced. The planning of “balanced meals” together with the preparation and serving of luncheons and dinners is also a feature of the course. Several visits to food manufacturing plants have also been made. The Sewing classes have been no less interesting than the Cooking classes. The grils have made four articles of clothing each semester, and just before the holidays some time was given to the making of novelties, such as painting weeds, enamel and wax work. The Senior girls in the class arc much interested in making their graduation dresses. A new Singer sewing machine has recently been added to the department. We expect even larger classes in the Sewing division of Domestic Science another year.
