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.

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.

CLARION It has been said that a school paper reflects the life of the school, and if such be the case the Bethel CLARION has fulfilled its mission well. Under the leadership cf Editor Alice Schouweiler the CLARION has established a reputation as being an outstanding school paper. Recognition should also be given Dave Carlson, managing editor, and Gunnar Hoglund, business manager, for their part in making the CLARION a successful school paper. Miss Enid Platts acted as editorial advisor. Dean Emery Johnson was the financial advisor. SPIRE To the Bethel SPIRE has fallen the task of presenting a lasting memory of the school year by means of words and pictures. The national crisis for a time imperilled the future of the SPIRE, and an abbreviated edition was decided upon as being more in line with wartime conditions. Aiding the editor Bernard Hammerbeck in the publishing of the SPIRE have been the business manager Robert Dischinger, photographer Rodger Rendahl, Mary Hamlin, and Elwood Norquist. Miss Platts also served as editorial supervisor of the SPIRE. President H. C. Wingblade was the financial advisor. CLARION Second Row: R. Christianson. B. Hammerhcck. M. I.undquist. D. Mo-berg, II.
