-THE BETHANNVAL ----- Prophecy of the Class of '26 WAS sitting on my front porch, reading, when one of my friends came up the walk and approached me. I was absorbed in a book written bv an old schoolmate when she startled me with the greeting: Hello, Ruth, how are you?” Well, when did you return to the city? I thought you were in Japan.” I was till a week ago. Education is rather difficult there.” By the way. Hazel, do you remember Llovd Hanson? I have the most interesting book here written by him. It is entitled, 'The Mystic Twelve’. I simply cannot grasp his meaning in some places. lie is so abominably vague.” Speaking of Bethel, I saw Myrtle Hanson on the street the other day. She is a Salvation Army Captain.” I saw El vert Forscll’s new ‘bachelors’ home’ the other day. It seems that lie has taken pity on all the unfortunate men and is playing ‘The Good Samaritan’ for them. I guess it is the largest bachelors’ home in the world. All the inmates have to take an oath that they will have nothing to do with the ladies before they are allowed to get in there. Hazel, do you know why the youth of Alaska arc decreasing so rapidly?” “No, tell me.” Why Charles Entner is at the head of the largest boys’ reformatory there.” The Stjernstroms are all preachers. I don’t see how Xels managed to be sober long enough to get such a job, but then, this is a queer world.” Where are their churches?” Oh, Lennea has one. in Atlanta, Georgia. Anna has one in Mexico City, and Nels has one in St. Peter.” There comes Lillian Gustafson home from the bench. It must be very trying to be a judge. Hello, Lillian.” Hello! My, but I’m tired. I didn't expect such a pile of work to stack up while I was gone.” “Well, did you see anybody while you were gone?” I saw several of the Seniors of ’26. It is surprising to find such a change after fourteen years. Esther Sundbcrg, Doris Lindgren, Ruth Olson, and Doris Fried-land are teaching at Bethel. They looked so tired out and old. I guess the students are much worse than they were when we were there, if that is possible. It was really pathetic to watch them. One reason for this is that Lovien Carlson is the principal of the Academy.” Milton Frovd is the dean of the Seminary. Harold Ellsworth is a teacher in tin- Moody Bible Institute. But say, could you imagine Joel Frykman as the organist of the Central Baptist Church? I wouldn't believe it till after I had heard him. He really makes a wonderful musician. Milton Frovd does the preaching there. I heard that Moody has grown fifty per cent since Mr. Ellsworth started to teach there.” Who are the officers of the Alumni Association now?” Fern Bosell is the president, Russel) Moffat is the vice president, Laura Ilundquist, the secretary. Beulah Wickstrand, who had just returned from a trip to Paris, where she has been studying music, favored us with a solo. Marcus Fritzcll, the noted violinist, entertained us for about an hour. He simply enchants a person when lie touches that old violin of his.” 1926= ’«!«.• .y
