SEMINARY MIDDLEMEN The seminary middlemen are said to be experienced because of a year's study in the seminary' and yet humble because they realize there is still the senior class above them. Whether or not this be true, it is certain that this year’s middle class is composed of some of the school's outstanding students. The class cabinet for the past year has been Grant Samuelson. president; Willard Anderson, vice president; Ray Johnson, secretary; and Dallas West, treasuier. SEMINARY JUNIORS New to the seminary, but certainly not to Bethel, are the seminary juniors. The class is composed largely of last year's college graduates, and as a result they have a deep bond of fellowship and friendship upon which to rely. Dale Bjork has served as president during the past year with Gene Nyman as vice president and Miriam Johanson as secretary-treasurer. MIDDLEMEN Second Rou-: G. Anderson. L. Ny-dcjytcr. R. Rcndahl. V.

FRESHMAN CLASS The freshman class, largest in the history of the school, organized at the beginning of the year with Elbert Walker as president. Other officers elected were Dana Larson, vice president; Alice Larson, secretary; and Haddon Anderson, treasurer. William Adam was chosen faculty advisor. Highlight of the freshman year activity was the All-College Banquet presented in honor of the graduating sophomores May 8 at the Hotel Curtis. Several other outstanding features were also sponsored by the freshmen during a very active school year. CHRISTIAN WORKERS DEPARTMENT Fulfilling a definite need in the Bethel educational system is the Christian Workers Department. This course has been designed to give religious education to those who do not feel called to enter the seminary and yet desire some definite religious training. Instructors in this department include Professors Esther Sabel, A. J. Wingblade, and Ernest Norstrom, and Dr. G. A. Hagstrom. FRESHMEN Fifth Rote: J. Muldcon, N. Hoover. R. Hails. R. Taft. R.

STUDENT COUNCIL Beneath the continuous flow of campus activity is the student council. The council consists of representatives from the various campus interests, three student officers, and a faculty representative. It has control over most student activities and acts as the organ of student government at Bethel. The first week of school found the council hard at work conducting the freshman week activities and initiation. The Homecoming Day festivities were planned for mid-October with Rev. Lloyd Dahlquist as banquet speaker. At Christmastime the council planned a large school party. An all-school trip to the Albert Lea basketball game followed in February, while the school picnic during the first week of June climaxed the year’s events. Student president was Dury Miller; while Grant Samuelson acted as vice president and Miriam Johanson as secretary. Professor Ernest Norstrom was the faculty advisor. Student representatives were Kenneth Norquist, forensics; Walter Julian, Alexis; Betty White, College Club; Irene Nelson, Religious Council; Gene Nyman, music; Rawlin Johnson, seminary; Gunnar Hoglund, publications; and Stamford Widen, college.
